Eternal traitor

Chapter 55

A month passed, and the departure of the Marquis of Shu was forgotten like a passing cloud, and the King of Qin was as calm as ever. However, during this period of time, the "Hundred Trade Union" was a topic of entertainment for everyone every day.

Last month, the seventh-class carriage was still 500 taels of silver, but this month, the price has directly doubled to 3000 taels of silver, and because of the purchase restriction, nobles from all over the Qin Kingdom flocked here Here, they either go through the back door, or send a large number of servants to wait in the shop, just to buy a special carriage that belongs to them.

Because the carriages of "Baimao Lianhe" are extremely expensive, the cheapest carriages start at 3000 taels of silver, but because of this, this kind of carriage has become a symbol of strength, so this kind of "gold-encrusted" carriage has become a hot topic among everyone. objects of admiration.No matter where you go, as long as you ride in the special carriage of "Baimao United", no matter what class the carriage is, it will attract the attention of a group of people.As for the nobility of status, it can also be seen from the top of the carriage.

The higher the level of the carriage, the more difficult it will be to obtain, but the ones that cannot be obtained are always the best. A wealthy businessman offered 3 taels of silver to buy a second-class Qingbao carriage, but he failed.

Today is the day when "Baimao United" starts selling carriages. It is said that only 27 carriages are sold.One second-class carriage and two third-class carriages.Ten fourth-class and fifth-class carriages.There are [-] sixth-class carriages, while the seventh-class carriages are the lowest-priced ones, but they are also the most numerous, accounting for half of the number sold, [-].

The buyers of the second-class carriages are all distinguished existences, and they will not buy them in the public eye, but directly trade with the shopkeeper in the background.

Except for the seventh-class carriages, the other carriages are selected from VIPs with appropriate identities, and then Zian will conduct auctions on specific occasions, and the highest bidder will win.

A crowd of people gathered in the hall, most of them are wealthy businessmen from all over Qin and other countries. Although their status is underground, they have a lot of wealth. They came here with money to get a "treasure car" worthy of their status.

"A seventh-class carriage, the base price is 3000 taels of silver, everyone please bid."

On the high platform, a small official from the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly in court uniform.And beside him was a young and beautiful young girl, who was holding a wooden sign with the number 01 in her hand, with a sweet smile on her lips, and she was obediently standing next to the official of the Ministry of Rites.

In this noisy room, the appearance of a young girl is like a flat boat in the ocean, so beautiful, even if she stands motionless on it, it can still raise the blood pressure of these elders.

"I gave 3200 taels."

Just as the ceremony officer on the stage here finished speaking, a person holding a wooden sign No. 113 in the crowd shouted.

"3300 taels."

"4000 taels."



Stimulated by blood, honor, beauty, and dignity, these small officials and wealthy businessmen raised their prices one after another, and the atmosphere became heated.Only the final transaction price of the first carriage reached 5000 taels of silver.This is more than three times that of the previous month. How can such a crazy carriage and such a crazy price not shock people? ?

As night fell, there were still some wealthy businessmen in the small shop of "Baimao United" who wanted to meet the shopkeeper of this shop, but they were all rejected.It was not completely dark yet, but this small shop that was making money every day was closed to thank customers, and the guests inside were "invited" out one after another.

In the guest room of the store, under the lampstand, a handsome young man is writing and drawing on the table with a brush in his hand. Looking carefully, isn't this person the shopkeeper Li, the ostensible master of the "Baimao United"?

"A seventh-class carriage costs 3700 taels."

"The fifth-class carriage costs 6600 taels."

"A seventh-class carriage costs 3800 taels."

"20000 taels for a second-class carriage."

The general standing on the side held the bill in his hand and read a number for five seconds. Li Hua raised his hand and reported the next number.One of them read and the other wrote. In less than 5 minutes, they recorded all the silver coins of the 64 carriages sold today.

When Qin Guangyao on the side closed the ledger, Li Hua also had a new movement. He saw Li Hua's writing brush dancing quickly, and recorded incomprehensible numbers on the wooden board.What is certain is that these numbers are definitely not in the font of Qin State, even beyond the scope of Qin Guangyao's cognition, and do not belong to any symbol of the Seven Kingdoms.

Every word written by Li Hua is drawn on the wooden board like a tadpole, and Li Hua quickly writes the next "tadpole character" on top of these "tadpole characters". seconds.

With Li Hua's efforts, a large number of numbers filled the one-meter-long wooden board. When it seemed that it would not fit, Li Hua stopped what he was doing, looked at the final result and said with a blank expression:
"Your Highness, excluding the cost of 200 taels of silver, labor costs of 300 taels of silver, and provision of food and sundries of 300 taels of silver. Today's total income is 33 taels of silver."

Ying Zheng on the side has always been in a state of closing his eyes and resting his mind. But just now, every time Qin Guangyao read out a number, Ying Zheng trembled slightly. However, after Li Hua reported his income, Ying Zheng finally opened his eyes. There was an indescribable excitement hidden under those clear eyes.

"You've done a good job, I really didn't see you wrong."

Ying Zheng was so satisfied with Li Hua that he couldn't be more satisfied, but compared to Li Hua, he was quite sure of himself. If it wasn't for his insight, he might have released a big fish.Back then, he only used a piece of jade pendant and 100 taels of gold in exchange for a huge treasure worth tens of millions of taels of silver. In just the second month, this humble shop brought him an income of more than 40 taels of silver. .

If it continues to develop like this, it is estimated that the annual income of this small shop can cover half of the national treasury of Qin State.Not to mention that "Baimao United" is still expanding outwards. Once it establishes a foothold in the other six countries, the income of this small shop alone can catch up with Qin's treasury, or even more.Such a large sum of money is both a kind of happiness and a kind of trouble.

At this time, Ying Zheng finally understood what Li Hua told him when he first met Li Hua, and he needed to donate the money to the King of Qin five years later.Now it seems that Li Hua can really read people's hearts, and even possesses the wisdom of how to survive in this troubled world. With such a huge wealth, everyone should be punished without guilt.
