The New Biography of Han Lingdi

Chapter 151 Auction

There was a lot of life in front of a luxurious building. Many carriages parked here and many monks came down.

In the past month, with the efforts of the chamber of commerce and the imperial court, the entire Journey to the West and the list of gods have been spread throughout the northern region, and even the books are being reprinted. All the magic weapons of the fairy family in it are dizzying.

At this time, the auction represented by Guo Xi took out something exactly the same as the one recorded in it, saying that it would be auctioned. At this time, under the promotion of the book, more people focused on this auction.

With Liu Hong's tacit attitude and the overcoming of the entire interests, the aristocratic family finally acquiesced in this matter. After all, Buddhism and their interests are not great. Finally, a millennium deception is about to begin.

"Please," Guo Xi greeted everyone who came here at the door, and some people from the aristocratic family also came. After all, Liu Hong did not restrict the family who came, as long as you want to come, you can come.

After seeing that the number of people was almost there, Guo Xi saw a carriage coming. He hurried over because he recognized that the carriage belonged to Liu Hong.

"Your Majesty, you came in person like this?" Guo Xi said. He did not expect that Liu Hong would come to this auction in person. It can be seen how much Liu Hong attaches importance to this.

"Arrange a box for me." After Liu Hong said this, he came down directly.Looking at this luxurious building, where everything is happening, a scam against Buddhism begins.

"Yes." Guo Xi said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Feng, Li Ying, Yang Ci, Chen Fan, Wang Xu, and Liu Chong are all here, do you see?"

He didn't expect that so many court ministers would come, and they would attach great importance to it. He didn't know why these people would come. Wouldn't it be good to honestly collect money at home?

"It's already been arranged in the private room, so it won't affect the auction." Guo Xi looked at Liu Hong who had stopped, and hurriedly said, he didn't want Liu Hong to think that he did it on purpose.

"It's okay, they were not forbidden to come this time, come on." Liu Hong said.At this time, he also knew that Guo Xi could not stop these people.

"Your Majesty, go in, it's about to start." Wei Zhongxian said beside him.

"Okay, let's go." Liu Hong said.

...~...the dividing line
"Did you see that His Majesty is here too, this guy Guo Xi must have reached something with His Majesty." Yuan Feng said disdainfully.

"Of course, for the sake of the family and survival, Guo Xi should do these things. However, our family can't say anything. We can only support His Majesty in the struggle against Buddhism." Yang Ci said.

At this time, if it wasn't for Guo Xi, the monastery believed that the aristocratic family was also involved in this matter, and the aristocratic family would have no way to explain it, so they simply supported Liu Hong in this struggle.Anyway, they can also get some benefits.

"Look, Buddhism, let's see what we can spit out this time?" Li Ying said. Liu Hong worked hard for more than a month to see what he could get.

Liu Hong is a person who can't afford to be early without profit. Of course he knows that Liu Hong must be eyeing the big benefits later.But how big the benefit is, they actually estimated it to be around 2000 million.

2000 million yuan is considered the wealth of a top aristocratic family, and it is definitely not small.No wonder Liu Hong worked so hard to complete this matter.

It's just that they underestimated Liu Hong's ambition, and also underestimated the power of the entire chamber of commerce and the Ministry of Commerce.And they underestimated the power of Buddhism.

"It's started, let's see." The next step is to enter the venue. The people who come are from a total of 948 monasteries in Dahan. According to the original plan, the people here can accommodate about 3000 people.

"Everyone, I'm very happy that everyone can come here. Everyone here is a Buddhist. As a religion with a long history of hundreds of years, Buddhism has countless legendary items. We have prepared [-] items for auction. said the auctioneer.

"I hope everyone can actively participate. Let's get started," said the auctioneer.

"The first item is a jade purification bottle. Please see if the pattern on the surface has some texture. This is the jade purification bottle of Guanyin mentioned in Journey to the West. The starting price is 50 yuan." The auctioneer said.

"50 yuan!" A monk on the 50rd said [-] yuan. At the beginning, the items were cheap. This was also a case of some small monasteries snatching things. After all, those big monasteries are looking for good things.

I don’t know why, recently there have been a lot of rich benefactors in many temples. They have lent money to the temples. After all, it is allowed to use the money of other incense masters to return them after the puja is over, but if the puja is over, If it is not paid within ten days, it will start to double.

It was usury, but because time was too late, they had no way to borrow money from the chamber of commerce. After all, those chambers of commerce pledged real estate and some treasures. Although the money they gave was legitimate, some of them were afraid that the chamber of commerce would cheat them.

"55 yuan." No. [-] raised his hand. He is a monastery in the south of the Yangtze River. The south of the Yangtze River has not yet developed, and it is not as good as that in the north. However, these temples are more influential in the south, so there is a lot of money.

In the end, under fierce fighting, the item was sold for 80 yuan. "These monks are still reserved. They don't have any courage at all." Liu Hong said after seeing that it ended with 80 yuan.

"Your Majesty, 30 yuan is not a lot at once." Yuwen Chengdu said, he did not expect that his Majesty would not even care about 30 yuan.

In the end, one hundred items were sold one after another, and a total of 900 million yuan was obtained.This can be said to have finally exceeded the income of the entire big man.

And the total amount of money that Liu Hong took out was only 5500 million. In other words, those monks exceeded the 400 million invested by Liu Hong this time.It can be seen that those monks have finally fallen into madness.

"Those monks. Are they rich?" Yuan Feng asked, more than 1 million yuan, and those monks really dared to shout, because Liu Hong played a trick, that is, he can pay the money three days after the end of the auction. Give them a chance to raise money.

So when these monks were shouting, when they reached the peak, they never thought that they might not be able to spend so much money at all.After all, they have already shouted red-eyed,

"This time, really, it's a big loss." Monk Daoji said, he originally had 2000 million yuan, but this time they auctioned 700 million yuan. At first they didn't think it was anything, but after the end After that, he also figured it out, 700 million yuan.They couldn't get it out at all.

This time, after all, they took out the land and the money pledged by the chamber of commerce. If they can't make money from this conference, they will be finished.They are also gambling.
