I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 226 This is called land speculation!

"I'll offer 60 gold coins!" Suddenly, a man stepped out from the crowd. He was short in stature, but his clothes were extremely luxurious.

It should be the butler of a big family.

"70." Zhu Youjian said calmly.

He is the best at raising prices.

"80!" The butler was equally indifferent.

A mere 80 gold coins is nothing to real big families like them.

Big deal, let the master's family transport a batch of gold and silver from Jiangnan, and go to the Daming Royal Bank to exchange it.

Moreover, there is now a special organization in the governor's office in various places, which can help everyone exchange gold and silver items into Daming gold coins, Daming silver coins, and Daming copper coins.

Food, livestock, land, etc. can all be exchanged.

Even, you can mortgage a 'loan'...

"85." Zhu Youjian seemed to hesitate slightly, and added [-] gold coins.

"95!" The butler was so arrogant that he directly added [-].

"Ninety, no, one million!" Zhu Youjian said.

"110 million gold coins, if you dare to keep up, just come!" The butler waved his hand, and another man who looked like a servant quickly stepped forward and brought a red sandalwood embroidered pier to the butler.

"Master Fu, please have a sip of tea, soothe your throat before asking for a price!"

The butler shook his sleeves, sat firmly on the embroidered pier, took a sip of a bowl of tea, and said calmly: "Boy, if you continue to add, I will always have one hundred thousand more gold coins than you."

Zhu Youjian pondered for a while, licked his lips, and said in a shy voice: "You Bozhou Fujia is rich and powerful, so you really won't give us a way out?"

"Hahaha, I will give you a living, who will give our master a living?"

The butler laughed loudly, continued to drink tea, and stretched out a finger: "See, no matter how much you bid, our Fu family will give you [-] gold coins more than yours!

If I don't strive for a first-class garden, the old man can't go back and explain to the master and wife. "

On the stage, Wei Zhongxian, Qian Qianyi, and Zhang Ruitu were dumbfounded.

This kind of loss is actually nothing to put it bluntly.

Moreover, among the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of "caretaker" often appeared.

Official childcare, merchant childcare, thief childcare, gambling childcare, kiln childcare...

However, no one expected that the first person to stand up as a babysitter in front of him would be His Majesty the current emperor.

If the butler on the opposite side knew that he was "bidding on the same stage" with the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian with his legs crossed, drinking small tea, and his nostrils upturned, he would probably be scared to death.

"Then I'll bid 500 million gold coins!" Zhu Youjian's voice was full of emotion, almost gnashing his teeth and said: "If you have the ability, can you add it? I'll directly offer 500 million gold coins!

Moreover, it is still a decent Ming gold coin!

Let's make it clear today, if anyone comes up with a bunch of fake gold coins, don't blame me for being ruthless, and immediately go to the palace to report you! "

Sure enough, the butler's face was a little ugly.

500 million gold coins, in fact, has already begun to hurt the Fu family.

What's more, I want that serious Ming gold coin...

Looking around the world, how many rich merchants, rich families, and aristocratic families would use "Daming Gold Coins" with little gold content when doing business?

"Come on, even if I go bankrupt today, I still want to fight for the best villa for my sister-in-law!"

Zhu Youjian said in a bitter voice.

In terms of acting skills and cheating, Zhu Youjian, who has been a man for two lifetimes, has never been afraid of others.

"510 million!"

After pondering for a moment, the butler added [-] gold coins with some pain.

"520!" Seeing the fish biting the hook, Zhu Youjian began to increase his psychological offensive.

"This master housekeeper, can you give me a hand, my son thank you eighteen generations of ancestors!"

The butler sneered, swung his stubby arm abruptly, and said, "580 million!"

There was an uproar on and off the stage.

What does 580 million Daming gold coins mean?
According to the current gold and silver exchange price, isn't it 580 million taels of gold?If converted into silver, according to the exchange ratio of seven to one, wouldn't it be an astronomical figure?
In addition, under the secret promotion of Wei Zhongxian, Qian Qianyi and others, a gold coin of Ming Dynasty is worth ten acres of irrigated land...

……

"Is Bozhou Fujia crazy? Even if they sell all their property, it's still not enough for this number, right?"

"Don't underestimate these small families, maybe they still have Lao Dier."

"Oh, that's really hard to say."

Hearing the discussions among the audience, the fat butler of Bozhou Fujia's face turned pale. Although he was already retreating in his heart, thinking of winning the No. A smile.

"You are unreasonable, why do you add so much at once?" Zhu Youjian said in pain, "I, I, I will go bankrupt..."

"You don't have any money, right? Then go back, who knows if you, a little Biyu, can come out as a lady, haha." The butler of the Fu family laughed.

Zhu Youjian looked up at Wei Zhongxian, Qian Qianyi, and Zhang Ruitu, and blinked.

The meaning is very clear: old boy, learn a little bit!
Then, he turned around slowly and looked into the distance, all he could see was the Forbidden City on the other side of the China Sea.

"Which master, lend me 100 million gold coins. When my sister-in-law becomes a noble concubine, I will definitely repay you double!"

Zhu Youjian's voice just fell.

There was a roar of laughter from the audience.

Are you kidding, I will lend you 100 million gold coins so that you can bid for the best villa with all of us?

Want to eat fart!

"Hey, brat, why are you pretending to be a boss if you don't have money? Go play with mud!" A wealthy man pushed aside the crowd, walked slowly to the front of the stage, and said calmly:

"Songhu Xu family, increase the price by 100 million gold coins."

There was another uproar in the audience.

The Xu family in Songhu has been a real big family in the Ming Dynasty for the past hundred years. Not to mention big figures such as Xu Guangqi, even some of the offshoots of his family often occupy three prefectures and two counties.

While still in the capital, they were somewhat scrupulous, and acted more restrained and low-key.

If it was in the south of the Yangtze River, if the Songhu Xu family came forward to do something, nine out of ten big families would not only politely give up the business at hand, but might also take in 80 million gold coins.

Who made the Songhu Xu family rich and powerful?

This time, if another girl from the Xu family enters the palace and becomes a concubine, won't she be even more prosperous and arrogant?
"780 million gold coins, genuine Daming gold coins, is there any price increase?" The big man from the Songhu Xu family looked around and said in a deep voice:

"The ups and downs sound uncomfortable."

"Simply, our Xu family increases the price by ourselves, 1000 million gold coins!"

Everyone: "..."

Can you still play like this?

Isn't it just how much money is there?How much money can be so capricious?It's not human at all!
"Why, Bozhou Fujia didn't increase the price?" After hurting the others, the big man from Songhu Xu's family turned his head to look at the butler of Fujia, chuckled lightly, and said:
"The little Fuzhou family in Bozhou dare to show off in the capital?"

"This bowl of tea is very fragrant?"

"Do you want to add 200 million?"

The face of the butler of the Fu family was flushed red, he twitched his thick and short neck several times, and finally managed to say: "Fu family, add [-]!"

The audience laughed.

The Xu family in Songhu directly added more than 200 million to themselves in one breath.

As a result, the people from the Fu family in Bozhou spent a long time trying to make money, and only added a mere [-] gold coins...

"200 million." The Songhu Xu family raised the price directly.

At this moment, the people from Fujia in Bozhou finally didn't dare to follow the price increase, so they had to sneak into the crowd and hide in desperation.

……

"Seventeen million times!"

"Seventeen million times!"

"Sixteen million..."

"Wait, I'll raise the price." Just as Qian Qianyi happily knocked down the mallet in his hand, a crisp voice sounded.

Everyone took a closer look, but it was an extremely handsome young man.

With a face that can be broken by blowing bombs, it is actually quite a bit more youthful than ordinary girls...

On the stage, the expressions of Wei Zhongxian, Qian Qianyi, and Zhang Ruitu changed slightly, and they quickly covered it up.

Isn't that Miss Hongliu...

Obviously, she was disguised as a man, following the idiot emperor to drive up the price of X.

"My lord, add 500 million gold coins," Miss Hongliu snapped, opened the golden paper fan in her hand, shook it a few times, and said with a smile: "My lord is fighting for the best garden for my sister, everyone has no objections, right?

200 million, plus 500 million, is 700 million gold coins.

If anyone refuses to accept it, come up and raise the price with me! "

Putting away the paper fan in her hand, Miss Hongliu, who was disguised as a man, walked forward slowly, looked up and down the old man of the Xu family in Songhu, and asked with a smile: "The Xu family is really rich, but the mere 200 million in the past is like letting your own The girl lives in the best villa.

Hey, are you thinking too much? "

The old man of the Xu family in Songhu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "2000 million gold coins."

at last.

It was beyond the imagination of most people on stage and off stage. If 2000 million gold coins were actually exchanged for gold and silver, it could be said to be an astronomical sum.

There are many wealthy households named wealthy families, but it is still quite difficult to take out so much wealth at one time.

"You, really want to increase it to 2000 million?" Miss Hongliu, who was disguised as a man, widened her eyes and looked at the uncle of Xu's family in Songhu again.

After a dozen breaths.

Miss Hongliu sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Well, actually, 700 million gold coins is enough to make our family bankrupt, and I can't add 2000 million gold coins;

Alas, my poor sister, it seems that she can only live in an ordinary villa! "

She sighed and retreated under the big willow tree, picked up a bowl of tea, winked at Zhu Youjian who was sitting opposite, and said with a low laugh, "How is it? Is my technique still effective?"

Zhu Youjian silently gave her a thumbs-up, and said with a smile: "It's okay, earning 500 million gold coins in a dozen breaths is much better than robbing banks."

Both of them were about to cry out from laughter.

The following auctions began to gradually fall into a low ebb.

But because there is a ruler of 2000 million gold coins standing there in front of it, the original idea of ​​building a garden for his daughter, which was originally planned to be 80 gold coins, was ultimately in vain.

500 million.

200 million.

1000 million.

980……

……

In the end, under the "repeated jumps" by Zhu Youjian and Hongliu, even the auction price of the last villa was finally finalized at a price of 790 million gold coins.

The next step is to sign the withdrawal contract.

Wei Zhongxian had been prepared for a long time, and he notified Li the shopkeeper of the Daming Royal Bank in advance, and personally led nearly a hundred staff to handle the "transfer procedures" for everyone.

When Li Yan saw 'Master Zhu Jiao' in the crowd, he wanted to go forward to salute, but Zhu Youjian stopped him with his eyes.

Just kidding, you kid rushed over to meet each other, wouldn't you just pass through?

I am Master Zhujiao.

Master Zhujiao can't become me...

"Let's go, go to the boat to drink, eat meat and play poker." Zhu Youjian said solemnly.

"Playing poker?" Miss Hongliu asked rather puzzled: "My lord, what is poker?"

Zhu Youjian: "Ahem, I'll teach you how to play slowly later."

Uncle, inadvertently, I almost slipped my mouth, and brought out a new term of 'not serious' to the Ming Dynasty, it's really crazy...

……

The idiot emperor took Miss Hongliu quietly back to the painting boat to play poker.

In the cabin of a large ship not far from the auction site, Wei Zhongxian, Qian Qianyi, and Zhang Ruitu were drinking tea and taking a break. It could be seen that they were about to suffer from internal injuries.

Just one auction, just to raise money... ahem, to raise the total financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty for 20 years.

This marriage is simply too cost-effective!
Among them, the happiest one was Mr. Qian Qianyi, the leader of Ming Dynasty's civil servant Qingliu, who found a decent husband's family for his second daughter with only a mere few million gold coins.

Tsk, unexpectedly, Qian Qianyi transformed himself into the father-in-law of the idiot emperor...

Qian Qianyi held a bowl of tea, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing an unconcealable smile: "Mr. Wei, Mr. Zhang Ge, drink tea, drink tea."

Wei Zhongxian picked up the tea bowl calmly and drank slowly.

By the way, even the tea dregs in the tea bowl were fished out and stuffed into the mouth, chewed carefully, and swallowed.

He has learned this trick of the idiot emperor.

It seems that compared to Long Live Lord's stink and shamelessness, he, a well-known treacherous minister in the Ming Dynasty, is not dark enough.

Just by marrying [-] wives, the wealthy households in the world have been severely pitted without anyone noticing.

If you continue to play like this, is there a way for others to survive...

"This Qian Qianyi became the head of the state happily, but he never thought of Zhou Kui whose head was beheaded last year? '

"Lord Qian, this time, Lord Qian should take the lead in organizing the wedding for the Long Live Lord!" Wei Zhongxian finished chewing the tea, put the tea bowl on the desk, and clasped his fists to congratulate Qian Qianyi with a smile.

"Wei Changgong is being polite. This is everyone's credit. Qian doesn't dare to covet such a feat." Qian Qianyi quickly put down his tea bowl, cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"Wei Zhanggong is right, Mr. Qian should be the first to contribute." Zhang Ruitu, a cabinet scholar who has never had any sense of presence, said with a smile: "Moreover, Mr. Qian has become the head of the country, so I need to take care of him in the future."

Qian Qianyi smiled, and said calmly: "The little girl has average appearance and little talent, even if she enters the palace and becomes a concubine in the harem, she is probably just a talented person, a servant or a lady.

How dare you call yourself the head of the country?

You two, please don't mention this matter again, otherwise, Qian's face will not come down! "
