The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Once people's emotions are up and the atmosphere is here, they won't feel anything when spending money. Maybe the revenue of the auction will be more than expected.

"Your Majesty didn't sit with Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, this is the reason." Changsun Wuji said.

Li Shimin shook his head and smiled.

"In fact, whether I am here or not, whether I show up or not, it doesn't matter to them." Li Shimin said: "Even if I show up, it won't affect their bidding, especially those aristocratic families."

Maybe, in front of me, they will also show their strength.

"Do you think they care?"

When Li Shimin said these words, his expression was indifferent.

After so many years, what are those people like, can you still not understand?

If you don't understand, there is no need to be the emperor.

They are competing openly and secretly.

On the one hand, the court cannot do without them. Most of the capable officials in the court come from these aristocratic families. But on the other hand, it is precisely because of their origins that if the court makes any decision that will harm their interests, then this decision will be rejected, and it will be difficult to implement the policy.

It is not possible not to use them, because if they are not used, there will be no one available in the court.

Even if the court selects talents through examinations, most of the people with excellent test scores are still from these aristocratic families.

Their background is there. Even if there are a few talents with mediocre origins occasionally, in the end, 90% of them will be submerged among the talents of aristocratic families.

"Everyone who comes to this auction knows that in the end, the money will be supervised by the queen. At that time, the account books will be in the palace. The prices of all the auction items and the bidders will be known in the palace. I will know everything, so the things that cannot be concealed are the same whether I am on the scene or not." Li Shimin smiled.

Changsun Wuji lowered his head silently.

"It's just that it's two different things for your Majesty to be present and for your Majesty to know after seeing the account book." Changsun Wuji bowed and said, "At least that's what I think."

Changsun Wuji thought about this matter from the perspective of a minister, and still felt that it would be better for the people on the third floor not to show up.

In the room where Li Fu was, Li Yuan was drinking tea and waiting to watch the excitement.

Li Yuan didn't think too much about what aristocratic families were like. From young to old, he had seen everything over the years.

The first thing used for the opening was some exquisite objects picked out from the warehouse of the Jingyang Palace. It wasn't that Li Fu specially collected them. Most of them were rewards from the palace.

There was no use for them to be left there, and these things generally couldn't be sold.

But the auction was different. It was still discussed with Li Shimin, so these things that could only be seen but not sold could be placed here, and they could be sold at a reasonable and legal price.

Good things that can be exchanged for money are good things.

For Li Fu, coral ornaments are enough for home decoration, and the rest will just gather dust in the warehouse.

Moreover, after selling these things, it is unknown when they will be returned.

Priceless things are the best gifts.

For those who are really powerful, they don’t need to spend money. These good things will be in the warehouse of their own house.

In the Tang Dynasty, even if Li Fu, the King of Jingyang, is not powerful, he has a cousin who is really powerful.

Who can compare with him?

These ornaments are not valued by the people in the private room on the second floor, so no one bids and there is no movement.

However, the merchants below are lively and start bidding.

There are also people who like these things and want to buy them back for collection or decorate their homes to show their status. They are also very interested.

Therefore, the opening is quite lively.

Every time a price was called, there was a servant on the second floor who would call out the price of the item, pass it out in time, and sing the price in the corridor facing the street.

A lot of people gathered outside the teahouse, waiting to watch the excitement.

They also knew that the price was called inside this time, and people outside would know, so they were all waiting on the street.

It was also cheap for the street vendors.

When they were tired of standing, they found a stall to sit down, eat and drink while watching the excitement, and the stall owners could also earn a lot.

This business was much better than usual.

"Dear guests, please look at the next auction item." Zhang Deyuan's voice fell, and the maid next to him came up dragging a beautiful wooden box.

When everyone saw this, they knew that the first small highlight of the day was coming.

When the box was placed on the stand, Zhang Deyuan opened it.

"This is the soap produced in the village of Jingyang County, a set of six pieces, each of which is differentThere are two scents that have never been sold to the public before, and they are only available today. "Zhang Deyuan said.

"Will these two extra soaps still be available in the shops in Chang'an City in the future?"

Zhang Deyuan smiled and said, "This distinguished guest asked a good question. These two scents are only available at auctions. They are rare treasures and will not be sold in shops. "

Hearing this, the men didn't think anything of it.

But the women present began to get excited.

Who doesn't want to use something unique?

Then you will have face in the circle of sisters around you.

If they sit together and chat, they will know the difference between buying it from the shop and buying it from the auction.

Zhang Deyuan introduced it and finally set the starting price at 20 strings of copper coins.

Soap is not worth much in the shops in Chang'an City.

The high price this time is entirely because two limited fragrance soaps are also in the gift box.

Usually, if you buy six bars of soap, you can't sell it for more than two strings of money.

But now, in this occasion, there are a lot of people who want to pay for it.

"Thirty strings of copper coins!"

"Fifty strings of copper coins!"

"Fifty-five strings of copper coins! "

There were people shouting prices all over the place. At first glance, seven out of ten were women.

Some people were shouting prices because they planned to buy it back as a gift.

You can get twice the result with half the effort if you cater to people's preferences.

So, even if the soap is not so valuable outside, here, with some gimmicks, as long as you buy it and give it as a gift to make people laugh, the value it brings out may be incomparable to money.

Because Zhang Deyuan also said that this thing can't be bought in the shop outside the auction.

This is also the meaning of the existence of the auction, that is, to sell things that can't be bought outside, otherwise how can there be a premium?

The three Hu people sitting in the corner saw that so many women were also interested in this thing, and their eyes lit up.

If such a good thing is taken to the Western Regions, perhaps...
