Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 203 You Sing, I Come On

The official salt sales price of 600 million taels has been set, and it was set by Xue Qing, by amending the imperial decree.

Xue Qing had already sat down. He sat on the chair calmly. Although his gaze was still calm, his heart was already turbulent.

He knew that this was Fan Xian's lure, but the target was not certain, just because Xue Qing stood up at this moment and jumped into Fan Xian's trap on his own initiative.

The current Xue Qing doesn't want to care about how much damage Fan Xian's trap can cause him. He just understands one thing, no matter whether it is the imperial decree with his name written on it or Fan Xian, no one can get out of this Jiangnan Road. Not Yangzhou City.

Of course Fan Xian knew Xue Qing's anger, he just smiled awkwardly, and sat aside, he was not worried that Xue Qing would deal with him, because he would continue to deal with Xue Qing, deal with people who continued to stand up because of their interests, no matter who they were , they will all become the souls of Fan Xian's sword.

So Fan Xian was not in a hurry, he was never in a hurry to do anything, at least he was not in a hurry to kill someone.

The decree has been changed, who can say anything?
Naturally, the people below became well-behaved, and all of them looked suspiciously at the old man who was now as stable as Mount Tai. Maybe only he knew whether he was stable or not.

"The reserve price is 600 million taels, and the auction will start again." When Si Wu said this, he always felt that it was all a joke, but he didn't take it too seriously, so he said directly, "The bidding just now is invalid, and now it's time to start." .”

This time he still yelled very fast, but other people can't stop him from yelling fast. Governor Liangjiang can't stand up and yell. You yell slowly, right?So they can't make a fuss about it.Fortunately, Xue Qing's set of remarks has been dragged on for a long time, and now the Ming family really does not have much time.

"The Ming family, 600 million taels." Si Wu said.

Sure enough, the Ming family made a move.

This time, everyone was in an uproar.

This abruptly gave the Ming family time to let Wang Yu'er calculate the final balance of the money they could basically take out, and use it to bid for the price of the official salt this time, and now the people sent by the Ming family will go back to communicate It is the rest of the bidding, horses, cattle, official tea, these are all fat and oily things, of course the Ming family does not want to lose such a large piece of fat.

None of them.

After the Ming family made an offer, everyone fell silent.

Obviously, this is an inevitable move. Since he wants to bid, he will definitely take down this clear bid.

But there are always those people who don't have eyes, who come to touch the entire interest circle, the Ming family's interest circle.

"650 million taels once!" Looking at Dong Qiaoxiang, the secretary said.

"650 taels!"

"Six hundred..." When he said it for the third time, Si Wu saw Ming Shilan again.

The other party raised the price immediately.

"One time for 700 million taels." Said the secretary.

Then there was silence, and his speed was obviously slower than before.

"750 million taels!" Siwu said again after seeing Dong Qiaoxiang.

"Two million two times."

"..."

"..."

Fan Xian looked at Ming Shilan's expression from complacent to heart-wrenching, and from heart-shattering to ashamed.

The price has reached 50 million taels of silver, which is already a sky-high price, but Dong Qiaoxiang has no fear, and looks at Ming Shilan with confidence.

Akashi Lan said with a cold face, "Are you going to put all your eggs in one basket?"

"Obviously you and I both understand that although the price of this desperate bet is high, it is worth it. Everyone knows that the 1000 million taels of silver can be earned back."

Dong Qiaoxiang said, then smiled, "After all, this is the official salt that I can set at any price, if I control it well, there will be no second salt seller in the Qing Kingdom or even the world. "

Ming Shilan's complexion was very ugly, and he almost turned hideous. As the head of the Ming family, he never thought that a person who sold illegal salt would ride on his head and shit.What's more, he didn't expect that he was blatantly riding on his own head and shitting in front of so many people.

Shit is still very smelly, the smell is not good.

"You still have to stay in Jiangnan Road." Ming Shilan said to Dong Qiaoxiang in a dignified voice.

"It turns out that Mr. Ming also knew about this matter. I thought Mr. Ming didn't think that much at all." Dong Qiaoxiang smiled enchantingly.

Ming Shilan asked indifferently, "What do you mean?"

"It means that Mr. Ming doesn't need to rob anymore." Dong Qiaoxiang laughed.

At the same time, the countdown is over.

The sales power of official salt was given to Dong Qiaoxiang.

Everyone was shocked.

No one would have thought that the Ming family would let this piece of fat go, and no one would have thought that this piece of fat belonged to Dong Qiaoxiang.

"Have you figured it out?" Fan Xian asked.

"Almost." Qu Han was holding the abacus to fluctuate rapidly. Fan Xian looked at the pair of fingers flying on the abacus. If Qu Han lived in the past, playing the piano should be no problem.Maybe even play a game or something.

Qu Han knocked down a few beads at last, and finally gave up.

"According to the twists and turns of 300 million taels of silver for each project, and adding up the reserve price, the Ming family has almost brought this figure." Qu Han said.

Fan Xian was dumbfounded.

5000 taels!

It's not a big amount, it's a huge amount!This number is enough to make anyone in this world heartbroken.

Fan Xian swallowed his saliva.

Continue reading.

The subsequent bidding was not as fierce as official salt, but the competition of the people below was still very fierce. One was Dong Qiaoxiang, the other was a man dressed like a bandit, and the other was a masked teenager. There is no transaction below 800 million taels of silver.

If the Ming family makes a move, it is even more impossible for it to be lower than 1000 million taels, and there is even a bid, which is abruptly pushed to 2000 million taels.

This time the bidding, the smell of blood is obviously much stronger than ever before.

The people who raised the price were almost full of people, Ming Shilan didn't know why so many enemies suddenly appeared, let alone why, this time his original plan turned into such a dross.

His eyes fixed on Fan Xian's body, and his eyebrows frowned.

This time, when the eyes of the two sides intersected again, Fan Xian smiled charmingly. He was full of confidence, and he didn't seem to be worried about Ming Shilan's actions.

Sitting among the crowd below were Dong Qiaoxiang and Xia Qifei who had disguised himself. Xia Qifei had already won the three bids of Akashilan. At this time, he originally planned to win the three bids of Akashilan for about 500 million taels. Now that he has won three bids, he has spent nearly 4000 million!

"Patriarch!" The girl who settled accounts for Ming Shilan was already stupid. She never expected that Ming Shilan would bid in such a way, let alone that Ming Shilan had used up most of the bids after only taking three bids!
This is something that was impossible to happen in the past, but it has happened now, and it has really happened.

Ming Shilan is a steady and cautious person, but now, he has become a person who is easily fluctuated by emotions.

In fact, no one knew that Aka Shilan was still the prudent and cautious person, he hadn't changed, but was easily fluctuated by Fan Xian.

Fan Xian's tactics have always been very effective, such as making Ming Shilan see Xia Qifei.

So when Xia Qifei took off his disguise, Ming Shilan's eyeballs were about to pop out.

But now is not a place where he can do anything, nor is it a place suitable for Ming Shilan to get angry. He can only continue to do other things if he endures it.

"Miss Haitang raised the price so much, the Ming family might not accept it," Qu Han said.

Aka Shilan below obviously didn't recognize it, but he knew that the woman in front of him didn't have any good intentions for him, because she had already raised her eight hands abruptly, to the point where she was now 500 million taels.

Ming Shilan was attacked by a crowd. He never thought that he would fall into this situation. He looked at the person in front of him, and the person next to his ear said, "Master, there are only 2000 taels left, but the distance is far away." our……"

"I know." Ming Shilan frowned, at this moment he took a deep breath, as if he wanted to calm down, but obviously Haitang Duoduo didn't give him this chance.

"550 million taels!" the secretary said.

The Northern Qi Emperor's money was already in the Taiping Bank. Knowing that Ming Shilan had a hand to intercept the factor, Fan Xian had planned it long ago and asked Haitang Duoduo to withdraw the money from the bank. Now the money on Haitang Duoduo's body, Enough for her to take the bid.

"For this bid, the Ming family may fight to the end." Qu Han said, "But after the bidding just now, the Ming family has very little money left in their hands."

What we are shooting now is the sign of the transportation entrance, which is the transportation sign leading to Beiqi and Dongyi City. This is not a joke. The Ming family can have nothing. This road is what they depend on for survival. The biggest lifeline, if these roads are cut off, the Ming family basically has nothing to fish for.

It is impossible for Ming Shilan to see these vain money being thrown away with his own eyes, and it is impossible to see the Ming family fall into a dilemma, this is not acceptable to him!He couldn't just admit defeat and walk out from here.

This was Fan Xian's most important step.

force him.

Forcing the Ming family to take out the silver that they shouldn't have taken out, and the silver that they haven't had time to exchange. On the vast sea, 4000 million taels of silver are spent in vain.

That is the money that the Ming family really lost their lives. It is the money that Fan Xian must see. He knows that this part of the money is not in Ming Shilan's hands, but once this matter touches the bottom line of the Ming family, he will definitely What was taken out, must be taken out, because at least until now, they didn't even know that Fan Xian knew about it.

The disappearance of Qing Waer made them feel more at ease to do this. At this time, Fan Xian was forcing them to make a mistake step by step that they hadn't even thought of. Home, becoming crumbling.

Fan Xian looked at Chen Yuanhao calmly, and at this moment, Chen Yuanhao's expression became even more ferocious.

Fan Xian smiled. He knew that this person had everything from both sides, but he didn't know that he was so good at both inside and outside. Not only did he have a good relationship with the Ming family, but he also had a good relationship with Xia Qifei. It seems that in the past few years in Jiangnan On the way, Chen Yuanhao was well fed.

At this moment, Dan Da ran over anxiously behind him. He stood directly beside Fan Xian, but his eyes were on Chen Yuanhao first, and Fan Xian glanced at him. He said to Fan Xian, "My lord, it's not good."

Fan Xian frowned slightly, and asked, "What?"

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince..." Dan Da's voice seemed to be a little louder on purpose, and then he whispered into Fan Xian's ear, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince was taken away."

"Where did the news come from?" Fan Xian asked.

"It's my subordinates." Shan Da said, "I also cultivated some people on Jiangnan Road, specially inquiring about news for the internal treasury. Yesterday morning, the carriage of His Royal Highness the Third Prince was just taken away when he was taken away."

"How many people?" Fan Xian asked.

"I don't know, there are a lot of people, and the speed is very fast, not like ordinary people from the world." Shan Da explained.

Fan Xian nodded, his expression was not so surprised, but rather flat. Although Shan Da didn't know why Fan Xian reacted in this way, he didn't dare to ask. After all, this was Fan Xian, and it was him. immediate boss.

"Have you caught up? Do you know the exact location and direction?" Fan Xian asked again.

Shan Da shook his head, "I didn't keep up, I was the only one there, and he chose to report back immediately."

"So your people don't even know who the other party is, what they're wearing, where they're going, and what their purpose is, so you're sure it's kidnapping?" Fan Xian asked.

Dan was speechless, he looked at Fan Xian but couldn't say a word.

Fan Xian didn't punish him and didn't say anything radical, he just said calmly, "Who else did you tell about this?"

"No one else knows." Shan Da said.

Only then did Fan Xian fully understand the identity of this person beside him.

Fan Xian looked gracefully at this moment, and said with a smile, "Wang Qinian, Gundam."

"exist!"

"exist!"

The two responded immediately.

"Catch it." Fan Xian said indifferently.

Gao Da and Wang Qinian didn't need to ask, they immediately grabbed Shan Da in front of them.

Dan Da turned pale with shock. He looked at Fan Xian and asked with a frown, "My...my lord! What...why is this?"

"When you meet His Highness the Third Prince, you will know why." Fan Xian said this sentence loudly on purpose so that Chen Yuanhao could hear it clearly.

At the same time, he saw Chen Yuanhao's eyes.

Shocked eyes.

Wang Qinian directly took the bewildered Shan Da down, but the sudden change did not affect the continued bidding below. At this time, the price had already been raised by Haitang Duoduo to 800 million taels. , even Haitang Duoduo herself was startled, she lowered her head and tilted her eyes to look at Fan Xian, at this time Fan Xian seemed to give him a firm gesture.

This gesture was discussed by them before, once Fan Xian made this gesture, it meant that Haitang Duoduo would not raise the price no matter what, and would not follow suit again.

Ming Shilan is still struggling at this time, he still has very little money left in his hand, and he has won three bids before, plus this one, it is four bids, in fact, it is enough, enough for the Ming family At least it can last until the next expense, but it's not enough to give gifts, and it's not enough to feed those officials who are like wolves and tigers.

The houses of the Ming family must not be moved. Those are the roots of the Ming family. If they can be easily moved, the head of the Ming family has no intention of being the head of the Ming family. It would be a ridiculous thing that there will be no bounties from the servants in Mingyuan next month.

What can be used now is the silver that was robbed. The time is too short. Akashilan has no time to turn the silver into her own. There is also the stamp of the Taiping Bank on it. What should I do?Thinking of this, Akashi Lan can only take a gamble.

"850 million." Si Wu said, "Master Ming has paid 850 million!"

Nobody said anything.

This kind of sky-high price bid is too different from previous years. Those who want to use a few million taels to pick up a bargain now have wry smiles all over their faces. More than 20 people are sitting in the courtyard watching. ulterior motive.

This time, Haitang Duoduo didn't do anything anymore. She received a message from Fan Xian. She knew what Fan Xian meant. At the beginning of leisure, she doesn't need to put all her eggs in one basket now, even if she knows that this inscription is very important to Haitang Duoduo, and it is also very important to the whole country of Qi.

But Fan Xian must have thought in his heart, he didn't have selfish intentions, but he understood something.

The prerequisite for His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom to be able to let go of his hands and let himself do a big job is also obvious, that is, he has absolute trust in Fan Xian. Of course, this is specifically referring to this matter, so Fan Xian cannot do something useful. As for things that are detrimental to Qing and Qi, no matter what, it is impossible for this route to fall into Beiqi's hands. If it really falls into Beiqi's hands, this is not an economic issue, and it may rise to the level of espionage. system problems.

Fan Xian would not allow such a thing to happen within the scope of his jurisdiction, let alone allow himself to cause such a result, so the cautious Fan Xian threw out this road, as long as it wasn't taken by Bei Qi, whoever You can take anything.And Beiqi can take anything, as long as this road is not taken, it is easy to say.

As for this road, Fan Xian actually already had a suitable candidate.

At this time, Fan Xian looked gently at a person sitting in a corner.

That person is not Xia Qifei, nor Haitang Duoduo, nor Dong Qiaoxiang.

It's someone they don't know. Of course, this person is Qu Han, Haitang Duoduo, and Wang Qinian and Gundam even more.

A boy in black stretched out his hand, "2000 million taels."

The audience was in an uproar again.

Everyone turned their heads, the boy was as fat as a ball, his whole body was limp and weak, but the moment he stretched out his hand, he really looked like a big boss, not to mention.

Ming Shilan stood up directly, and he looked at the boy not far away with cold eyes, who was much smaller than himself, with a bloated body, ridiculously fat, but Ming Shilan didn't laugh, because he was very angry, he didn't want to Who knows where so many people have popped up, with such huge financial resources, fighting against him.

The struggle to the end is a general struggle.

It seemed that everyone had a knife in their hand, and they were looking for a suitable opportunity to kill him with one knife.

The Ming family has long been on the cusp, he just doesn't know it.

"The bid is 2000 million taels!" the secretary yelled.

"Two million two times."

"2000 taels!"

"Wait." The person who stood up this time was the governor of Jiangnan.

Fan Xian never thought that he would stand up, nor did he know why he would stand up.

"Master Taishou." Si Wu said with his head bowed.

"This person is not from Jiangnan, I have never met him, what about his qualifications?" Jiangnan prefect just asked cautiously, "We must ensure that everyone is a serious and qualified person before he can participate. This is the rule"

There is nothing wrong with this sentence.

"I definitely have the qualifications. Our family has participated in the internal treasury bidding for ten times, so I have already gone through the procedures. Please rest assured, I am a good businessman. There is no bad deed." The fat boy said.

"Ten times?" Ming Shilan sneered, "Neiku only opened eight times, and you participated in ten times. You are talking nonsense, right?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Of course, the first two times were not called Neiku bidding." The fat boy laughed.

"What's that called?" Ming Shilan asked.

"It's assigned by my Cui family!"

Suddenly, an old man came out from the inner hall.

Cangzhou Cui's family!

Cui Zhen!

Shocked!

Not only the people below, but even the three senior officials above stood up directly!

Cui family!

This is the family that has stood on the Qing Kingdom for the longest time!It is also the family with the deepest reputation and strength. When they fell, it was indeed an unbelievable news, but when the news came out, everyone still believed the news in disbelief.

But now, when Cui Zhen, who was once famous all over the world, appeared in front of everyone again, everyone was still shocked. After all, no one would have thought that this person would suddenly appear in front of everyone, let alone , Cui Zhen is not dead yet, and the entire Cui family is not dead yet.

The eyes of the three super officials above looked at Fan Xian at the same time. This person was the one who sent the Cui family to the abyss with his own hands, but now his face was not as shocked as ordinary people, but very calm. , seems to be telling everyone calmly that I know about this matter.

"It seems that Master Fan is not very surprised." Chen Yuanhao sneered.

Fan Xian raised his eyebrows, "It's not yet time for me to be surprised. After someone accepts my gift, someone will give me the same gift. I'm not in a hurry to be surprised."

Fan Xian thought very openly, and he didn't need to hide it as if he didn't do this thing, and he didn't need to put on airs to do something.

"Lord Prefect." Fan Xian asked loudly on purpose, "Are such qualifications and certificates enough?"

"Of course it's enough." The prefect also smiled, and he sat on the chair with a little joy, "Of course it's enough."

"Keep shouting," Fan Xian said.

"Yes, Master Fan." Of course, the secretary below was also very happy, and said randomly, "2000 million two times!"

"2000 taels!"

"2000 million taels! Three times! Deal!"

Taking advantage of the trend, the first moment the Cui family came to the door, with an overwhelming advantage, they won the qualification of Beiqi's internal warehouse sales, which is also the qualification for the Cui family to completely raise their heads.

Because the Cui family was not originally a family on the Jiangnan Road, but he happened to be on the important road from Northern Qi to Jiangnan, and from Jiangnan to Northern Qi. The economic profit that this road can bring is very large, and it can stabilize this road. For the losses caused, I believe that no one will move the Cui family in Cangzhou City.

And it was the Cui family after forming a team with the Overwatch Council.

At this time, Cui Zhen realized how correct his choice was, and also understood why Fan Xian would keep himself and Cheng Dalong, and the fate of the Cui family was dying.

The power to control the internal treasury is now in Fan Xian's hands, but Fan Xian, who wants to control this power, must find someone to assist him in the position, and must protect the power of the internal treasury to the greatest extent. Only in this way can the maximum degree of active power be taken in the management of the internal treasury.

This is a win-win situation. The Cui family can completely control the business thrown out by the internal treasury, and Fan Xian can also completely control the Cui family. At this point, Cui Zhen is not a person who is ignorant of current affairs, and Fan Xian just caught it. This is why Cui Zhenlai was chosen as the person in the early stage, because what Cui Zhen needs is absolute safety, this person who can lie in bed for ten years without wanting to die, definitely needs an umbrella, and Fan Xian happens to be able to do that , and Fan Xian also grasped his lifeblood, after all, the matter of Xiuyutang could make Cui Zhen die at any time, all he needed was a word.

In fact, if it is for ordinary people, it is definitely not willing to be taken advantage of by others, but for Cui Zhen, he actually urgently needs a reason to be caught, because only in this way is the fastest way for Fan Xian to trust him method, and only in this way, Fan Xian will not kill him.

Now that his life is safe, this young man is the only one who can touch him in the entire Jiangnan Road, so why should he be afraid?

All the silver in Xiuyutang is in the hands of Cui Zhen. To Fan Xian, it is the silver that loses his head, but to Cui Zhen, it is the silver that can be perfectly held in his hand without washing. Why not? Woolen cloth?Who would have discovered that the largest internal treasury in the world had become the money laundering institution for his Cui family and Fan Xian?
I received 5000 million taels of silver, and it is normal to return 5000 million taels of silver at that time?Who can tell what's wrong?Who can say that this approach is wrong?

And the 5000 million taels of snowflake silver was washed clean just like that.

……

Cheng Dalong, who had changed his name to Cui Dalong, respectfully invited Cui Zhen to his seat, and asked him to sit down, and then looked at Ming Shilan swearingly.

There is a suave, handsome and talented eldest son of the Ming family, and the other is the young master of the Cui family who is full of flesh and murderous, and even has cerebral palsy, although he is well-clothed and well-fed. No one will take a second look at Cui Dalong.

But it is obviously unrealistic not to watch Cui Dalong now, because what is going to be photographed now is farming cattle.

The military has always been responsible for the livestock breeding of cattle, because only cattle can plow the land, and every cattle is under the management of Qing State, and in this era, it is impossible to eat beef. In the age of scarcity, the role of cattle is very great.

Therefore, the breeding and production of cattle has become a matter that only the government can do. The control of cattle in each state and county is even stricter than that of people. Everyone can't even get cattle, and the price of cattle It is extremely high, and some people are even reluctant to buy a cow after working all their lives.

This makes the status and value of farm cattle higher and higher. Until now, the price of a cow is much more expensive than a house.

"The starting price is 300 million taels," said the secretary.

This time Xue Qing quietly closed his mouth, he couldn't let the edict be filled with what he said?So I kept silent immediately, and quietly sat aside, watching quietly.

"350..." The secretary hadn't finished speaking, that is, when an old man had just raised the price, Cui Zhen said directly, "1000 million taels."

"1000 million taels..." Si Wu was a little startled, he never thought that Cui Zhen's arrogance was not just in the legend now.

Ming Shilan looked at this old man who was about the same age as her father, and felt a sense of oppression. After the last bidding battle between Cui Zhen and Ming Qingda in the inner library, it was the descendants of the Cui family who came. After returning, the descendants of the Cui family never gained the upper hand in the bidding of Neiku.

But now, Ming Clan's victories over the past few years did not give Ming Shilan any confidence.

Even, the pressure doubled.
