Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Mr. Zhou, since everyone is almost here, can we start filming?

Yes, Mr. Zhou, everyone who is supposed to come has come, let's start the auction quickly!

Let the auction begin! Mr. Zhou, don't delay any longer!

Soon, the merchants began to rush and seemed very anxious.

After all, who knows how many qualifications this salt merchant has, and there are hundreds of competitors in front of him!

If you continue to wait, as long as the wealthy businessmen from those places are a little further away, your chances of succeeding in the competition will be greatly reduced.

Thinking about it, more and more merchants began to urge loudly, and the scene suddenly became noisy.

Zhou Chen nodded when he saw this, and then clapped his hands under everyone's gaze, which made everyone very puzzled.

The next moment, pretty maids appeared one after another, thoughtfully preparing pens and papers for all the merchants.

Everyone was even more puzzled after seeing it. It seemed that the auction method of this tasting was different from the previous two.

Under everyone's surprised gazes, Zhou Chen explained with a smile: This tasting will take place in secret.

The paper placed in front of you has your names and places of origin recorded on it. Please check whether it is correct first.

If there are no questions, then please write down your recent address on this piece of paper, the new salt agency location you want to take a photo of, and the agency fee you prepared...

This secret auction will be based on state capitals. Only one official salt merchant will be selected for each state and prefecture. Of course, there may be two or even several wealthy businessmen competing for one place. Then only the price will be determined. The taller gets it.

As soon as these words came out, all the merchants were confused.

Secret shooting!

It turns out this is a secret shoot!

But in this way, for the merchants who participated in the auction, it was full of malice!

They originally thought that this auction would be the same as the previous two tastings, with a direct public auction of people and places, and they basically had some understanding of the various situations of their peers in advance.

Even wealthy businessmen such as Wang Wenxian and Wang Fuguang have privately discussed the new salt's agency locations, and they have tacitly determined their respective ownerships.

For example, Shanxi Province has four prefectures and twenty states under its jurisdiction. According to the respective scope of activities of Shanxi merchants, a reasonable plan was made after discussion.

In this case, they only need to wait for the auction to start, quote a decent price to fool them, and win the qualification of salt merchant.

After all, there is no competition from others, and only you want this place, so why spend unjust money to be taken advantage of?

When the time comes, I will save money, the court will be satisfied, and then I will be qualified as a new salt agent. It can be said that everyone is happy!

However, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny!

Zhou Chen actually adopted a secret shooting method. This sudden move caught the merchants off guard.

After all, if you really write down your ideal location and agency fees on paper, there will be some uncontrollable elements to a large extent.

The biggest drawback is that no one is sure whether the partner they have negotiated with before will suddenly and temporarily raise the price and take away their share of the deal!

In this form of secret shooting, you don’t even know who your possible opponents are, so how can you have any partners?

From this moment on, all the merchants participating in the auction may become rivals in the competition!

For a moment, all the merchants frowned, and the scene fell into an eerie silence.

In the private room on the second floor, Yang Shiqi asked again.

Prince Han, why did you use secret photography?

The last time we auctioned briquettes, in order to increase the transaction volume, we had to reveal some news about the new salt method.

Zhu Gaoxu explained helplessly: As a result, the agency locations of these merchants were roughly determined last time. They feel confident that the bidding may stagnate!

That's why I thought of the secret shooting method. Because they were suspicious, they were not sure whether they could really win the agency land, so they had no choice but to spend a lot of money and empty their pockets, even if they lost. No complaints!”

On the contrary, if they clearly have the opportunity to take pictures of their favorite agency location, but because they are stupid and trust others, the duck they get flies away, do you think they will be mad to death?

As soon as these words came out, Yang Shiqi and other giants were shocked.

His Highness the King of Han's analysis simply revealed the true thoughts of the merchants in front of him!

Don't forget, they are profit-seeking businessmen. With huge interests in front of them, who would care about loyalty and credibility at this time?

They will definitely pay a high price obediently to ensure that they can win the agency of their choice, not only for insurance but also for peace of mind!

I have organized such a tasting event, how can I do it without squeezing them dry?

After hearing this, Xia Yuanji gave him a thumbs up sincerely.

Prince Han is really smart, I admire him!

In terms of making money, His Highness is the number one person in the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Gaoxu: ???

Um?

This word?

Why does it sound weird?

At this moment, Zhou Chen's voice came from the audience again, still explaining the rules to a group of merchants.

It is forbidden to communicate or make noise during the entire process, and it is forbidden to look left or right, otherwise you will be disqualified from bidding and will be sent to Jinyiwei's prison!

After you have finished writing, you only need to raise your hands, and someone from UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net will come to collect the paper immediately, and your privacy will never be leaked.

As for whether you win the bid, the results will be available within half a month. If you win the bid, officials from the Ministry of Revenue will go to notify you. At that time, you only need to prepare the agency fee, and then you can directly become a salt merchant under the protection of the imperial court!

Of course, I hope you will act according to your ability and don't make random bids. I also kindly remind you that one person can represent multiple places, as long as the agency fee is sufficient!

As soon as these words came out, everyone froze on the spot, and their faces suddenly became very ugly!

What Zhou Chen said before was all nonsense, but this last sentence cost them their lives!

One person can represent many places. Doesn’t that mean that as long as he has enough money, he can represent four or five places!

Opportunities are few to begin with, but this will make them even less!

damn it!

Zhou Chen is so insidious this time!

For a moment, all the merchants were holding their brushes tightly, but no one took the lead.

Although this tasting meeting was much simpler than the previous two, they only needed to write down a number, but all the merchants felt it was an extremely headache!

Their current enemies are all the merchants sitting in this hall!

Speculations and calculations are happening constantly!

Finally, someone took the lead in writing!

On the second floor, Xia Yuanji couldn't help but sigh: His Royal Highness the King of Han is really smart!

This was originally a struggle between merchants and the court, but His Highness the King of Han turned it into a struggle between merchants and merchants. The court can just sit back and reap the benefits!

Xia Shangshu's words are serious. I just do it casually. How can I be as good as Xia Shangshu praised...

No, no, no, Prince Han is too modest. You are the best person in the world when it comes to making money!

...

Your uncle!

If you don’t know how to praise others, just shut up, okay?
