Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 246 The auction begins

Cheng Chuxue looked at Zhao Han firmly, Zhao Han had no choice but to give up, but Zhao Han still said to Cheng Chuxue and Li Lizhi: "Since you have all made up your mind, I agree with you, but I promise you, I will give you an unforgettable wedding."

Li Lizhi and Cheng Chuxue nodded shyly, and Cheng Chuxue blushed and said, "We believe in you."

After Li Lizhi and the others came out of the auction, they were going to the night market to play, Zhao Han didn't join in the fun, and went back to the residence alone to rest.

Zhao Han woke up early the next morning, dressed neatly, and went out. Today, Zhao Han changed into his python robe on purpose, went out to find Ma Yi, and came to the auction with him to have a look. Don’t make any mistakes. .

Zhao Han and the others were busy working until after nine o'clock and Li Yuan and the others came. Zhao Han saw that everyone had arrived. Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and Empress Changsun and his family were sitting in the first row, followed by the princes. Standing in the back, although there are stools, they can't sit down, mainly because the businessman's status is too low to dare to sit down. Zhao Han found that Zheng Yuanshou didn't come, but a shopkeeper from his family came. He Xu belonged to the shopkeeper of Zheng's family. This man is very intelligent and has made a lot of money for the Zheng family. He can be regarded as a hero of the Zheng family.

Zhao Han walked up to the stage and picked up the microphone and said to everyone: "Thank you for coming to my auction. You all know the rules of this auction. I won't talk nonsense here. Let's start."

As soon as Zhao Han finished speaking, two servants carried a piece of glass onto the stage, and the servants put the glass on the stage and retreated.

Zhao Han said to everyone: "I think you all know what this is, yes, this is colored glaze, but the quality is much higher than the colored glaze brought by Hu merchants, and the production of colored glaze is very simple and the cost is also very low. Well, the auction is now The first recipe is Liuli, the base price is 1 taels of silver, the highest bidder wins, please bid."

"Ten thousand and one hundred taels."

The first bidder was Zhou Zhen, a 30-year-old man in the wealthy businessman team. On the surface, he is a wealthy businessman from Luoyang. In fact, he is from the Li family. He was lucky enough to be invited by Zhao Han because he did not have the formula for fine salt. Come here, this time Li Hongkun gave her a death order, this time I have to auction two formulas, no matter what formula is fine.

The rich merchants are all very interested in this colored glaze formula. When they came to Xingyangzhuang, they found that the newly built houses used colored glaze as doors and windows. will suffer.

Rich merchants began to bid one after another, and when the price soared to 5 taels, only four wealthy merchants were still bidding.

Seeing that it was almost time for Duan Zhixuan to make an offer, Duan Zhixuan said, "I will offer 6 taels."

Seeing Duan Zhixuan's bid, the four wealthy merchants all shut up. Although they are rich, their status is not as good as that of peasants. People don't fight with officials. They have a deep understanding of this sentence.

Seeing that no one was bidding, Zhao Han held a small gavel and shouted: "6 taels once," seeing that there were still no bids, continued to shout: "6 taels for the second time, 6 taels for the third... "

Before the second word was uttered, Zhou Zhen said, "I'll pay 500 taels."

Zhou Zhen knew that as long as he got a formula from the auction today, his identity would be known to everyone. Once his identity was revealed, he would not be afraid of Duan Guogong's revenge, so Zhou Zhen went all out, and he must get this glazed formula.

Duan Zhixuan glanced back at Zhou Zhen, and shouted to Zhao Han: "The old man pays 1000 taels."

"I pay 6 taels."

Duan Zhixuan frowned and continued to shout: "I will offer 8000 taels."

Zhou Zhen gritted his teeth and shouted, "I'll pay 7 taels."

When Duan Zhixuan saw Zhou Zhen calling out [-] yuan, he had no choice but to give up the colored glaze formula. Although Duan Zhixuan gave up the colored glaze formula, he remembered Zhou Zhen.

Seeing that Duan Zhixuan was no longer going to increase the price, Zhao Han shouted to everyone: "One time for 7, two times for [-], three times for [-]." Zhao Han knocked on the table with a gavel and said, "Congratulations to Zhou Zhen for winning Glass formula."

Seeing that he had successfully auctioned off his first formula, Zhou Zhen was finally relieved. Zhou Zhen was most afraid that he would not be able to explain to Li Hongkun if he could not compete for a formula today.

Zhao Han took the microphone and continued: "Okay, next is the second auction item. The item for this auction is my newly improved loom. Please look at the screen."

As soon as Zhao Han finished speaking, Ma Yi began to play the video of the new loom. This video was a short video Zhao Han had recorded with his mobile phone before. Everyone noticed that a woman sitting next to a new loom suddenly appeared on the stage. Weaving cloth is many times faster than the old-fashioned loom.

Zhao Han stood on the stage and said: "Since everyone has seen my improved new loom, let's start the auction now. The starting price of this loom is 2 taels and starts now."

As soon as Zhao Han shouted, the rich merchants rushed to bid first, and the price rose to 8 taels of silver in an instant. They were determined to win this improved loom, because in ancient times, good cloth could be used as money. This new loom weaves cloth much faster than others, and makes money much faster than others.

At the end of the competition, only the dukes were left to bid, and those wealthy businessmen gave up. If a duke competed with them, they could take a risk to compete, but when so many dukes came to compete at once, they gave up.

The price of the loom directly soared to 14 taels, and Chai Shao crossed his legs and said, "Zhang Liang, do you still want to compete with me? I know that 14 taels is your property, so just give it up, haha .”

Hearing Chai Shao's triumphant laughter, Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, although this is all my property, but you can't hold on anymore, right? It's not certain who will win. I'll pay 14 taels."

Chai Shao didn’t expect Zhang Liang to see through his bottom line. Indeed, 14 was his bottom line, and he couldn’t afford it no matter how high it was. After all, he still had a large family to support, so it was already very difficult for him to spend so much money all at once. So Chai Shao had no choice but to give up the auction.

Seeing that no one was competing, Zhao Han was about to call for a deal, but before he called out, Empress Changsun said slowly, "I'm paying 15 taels."

Zhao Han looked at Empress Changsun in surprise. Zhao Han originally thought that Empress Changsun came here to buy soy sauce, but he didn't expect that she would also bid for the auction, and the price was 15 taels. When did Empress Changsun become so rich?
