I will never be Renzong

Chapter 72 Auction
Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed.

The heavy snow in the sky has put a thick white fleece on the bustling Kaifeng.

Compared with the desolation on the street, the Qinyage Pavilion is full of bustle and bustle at this moment.

Qinyage is the restaurant run by Shen Moran. In fact, it is not difficult to tell from the name that the owner behind the scenes is actually a woman.

Although the name of the restaurant is nice and elegant, there are few literati and scholars gathered, and even if there are, it is rare, because officials in the Song Dynasty were not allowed to enter the restaurant, and even scholars who aspired to become officials rarely went to the restaurant.

Qinyage has been closed for three days, and these three days have been preparing for the auction, so today Qinyage gathered dignitaries from the Song Dynasty and big businessmen from all over the place.

Shen Moran renovated the second floor and turned it into a small auction place with eight small private rooms for those bidders who are inconvenient to show their faces.

After everything was ready, Bi Sheng, the inventor of toilet paper, walked up to the stage and was very excited when he saw the dignitaries and big businessmen below. He never thought that one day, he, a small commoner, would become the target of these powerful people. .

Many dignitaries have found out that the toilet paper comes from the old man in front of him, and this old man is a person who is very valued by the government today, so it is a trivial matter to send gold, silver and silk to show their favor, and some people are willing to treat their own family as nothing. The daughter in the boudoir married Bi Sheng as a concubine, in order to invent valuable things in the future, so that they could be the first to do so.

But what Zhao Zhen didn't expect was that Bi Sheng refused, whether it was wealth or beauty, which made Zhao Zhen look at him with admiration.

On the one hand, Bi Sheng’s current energy is devoted to inventing and creating, on the other hand, facing beauty, Bi Sheng does not want it, but he is already in his fifties, and he often has more energy than energy!
What's more, he knows who gave everything to him, and the so-called draught does not forget the well digger, and the kindness of knowledge should be repaid by the spring, so he will not do anything to betray Zhao Zhen.

After Zhao Zhen found out about this, he summoned Bi Sheng to discuss it, meaning that the rich and powerful should not be offended to death. Since you are a popular person around me now, things like being flattered by others will not be cut off.

Ever since, Bi Sheng confiscated money and gifts, but those who wanted to marry their daughters, Bi Sheng would not refuse, and agreed to them all. Don’t be afraid. In Bi Sheng’s words, all four of my sons have only wives and no concubines. I only have one grandson so far, so what, I can't do it anymore, but I also want the Bi family to flourish. If you want to marry a few daughters, I will agree for my sons.

After the words were released, there were very few people who came to propose marriage in an instant, because Bi Sheng's four sons were all the most ordinary farmers, and Bi Sheng came to Kaifeng alone. The sons brought Kaifeng.

Although Bi Sheng is a commoner, he is also a fine human being. He understands that he is fine with him, but without him, it will be difficult for his sons to survive in Kaifeng. Instead of doing this, it is better to stay in their hometown.

"My lords, Bi is not good at words, so I won't say polite words. Before the auction starts, Bi will explain the rules. According to the previous regulations of the court, each bidder can only bid for the management right of one road. You can leave, go home and prepare money, and go to the palace to pay in three days, and someone will lead the arrangement at that time."

After Bi Sheng had finished explaining the rules, he picked up the hammer he had prepared in advance and tapped lightly: "The auction has officially started, and now the auction of the management rights of Liangzhe Road starts.

Surprisingly, after Bi Sheng's words fell through, he did not bid for the auction, and the dignitaries in the eight rooms did not move at all, as if they were all waiting.

Shen Moran, who disguised herself as a man and mingled among the bidders, was not surprised, because the rich and powerful were all inextricably linked. If they joined forces to disrupt the pornographic auction or lower the price, that would be impossible.

"A certain family gave out 200 million guan!"

Shen Moran gave a glance to the maid beside her, and the maid understood, and hurriedly raised the sign in her hand and shouted loudly.

"Hiss! Who is this? Just add 100 million coins when you come up? Is this a waste of money?"

"How can there be such a bid? Isn't he afraid of offending the dignitaries in the box?"

A rich businessman with a big belly muttered softly.

"No. 48 Langjun sold 200 million guan, is there a higher one?"

"200 million for the first time!"

"200 million second time!"

"200"

"A certain 210 million guan!"

The bidders of Box 200 were obviously unable to sit still. Liangzhe Road was second only to North Beijing Road. Although toilet paper was thin, it was a necessity of life. Let alone 500 million guan, even [-] to [-] million guan was worth it. of.

"300 sticks!"

This time, Shen Moran raised his card and shouted directly, if you want to play, play bigger.

"320 million yuan"

"370 million yuan"

The price was getting higher and higher, and the dignitaries in the other private rooms couldn't sit still. After all, everyone wanted to be the number one dignitary in the Song Dynasty.

After an incense stick of time passed, only private room No. [-] and private room No. [-] were left to bid.

In the first box are the descendants of the general Guo Chong in the early Song Dynasty, and in the second box are the descendants of the general Shi Shouxin in the early Song Dynasty. After Zhao Kuangyin drank wine and released his military power, although there were no members of the Guo family and the Shi family who held important positions in the court , but it shines in business.

"460 million! This is Shi's last offer. If Brother Guo wants to increase the price, Shi will have to give it up!"

In private room No. [-], a young gentleman spoke.

"500 million guan, Liangzhe Road is very important to my Guo family, I must win it, if I offend, please return Haihan!"

The same young voice came from the No. [-] bag.

The auction was still going on in an orderly manner. Although Mr. Shi was a little dissatisfied, he didn't dare to take it out on the spot. After all, this auction was about the face of today's officials.

When Shen Moran was bidding on Fujian Road, she intentionally failed the bidding, pretended to be angry and left, and her trust brought the atmosphere up, so there was no need to stay any longer.

In the palace, Zhao Zhen was unable to leave the palace due to business entanglements, but he was also concerned about the auction results, so he sent more than one group of people to urge him.

"Officials! Drink ginseng soup to warm up your body!"

Liu Lanxiang came in from outside carrying a bowl of ginseng soup.

"The weather is so cold, you are not staying in the bedroom, what are you doing here? You are weak and can't stand the wind and cold!"

Zhao Zhen asked with concern.

"It doesn't matter to the officials! The officials should drink the ginseng soup! It's not good if it gets cold!"

Liu Lanxiang smiled at Zhao Zhen.

After Zhao Zhen finished drinking the ginseng soup, Zhang Mao hurried in.

"Official! The auction results are out!"

As he spoke, he handed a copy of the letter to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen hurriedly put down the bowl, took the Zhazi and looked at it carefully.

"Okay! With so much money, I can finally form a strong cavalry!"

Zhao Zhen said happily.

"Is cavalry important to officials?"

Liu Lanxiang asked suddenly.

"Of course it matters!"

"Is it important to have a slave family?"

Liu Lanxiang said coquettishly.

At this time, Zhao Zhen started to look at Liu Lanxiang's attire. The originally young girl revealed a mature and charming temperament under her own hard work.

"Xiang'er! Stay tonight!"

"Official family! I'm a little unwell! I'm leaving first!"

For some reason, thinking of someone's strength, Liu Lanxiang's legs felt a little weak, and she hurriedly tried to escape the discomfort.

"You still want to run? You can't run away now!"

The ginseng soup helped. Zhao Zhen stepped forward and pulled Spearmint into his arms, then picked her up and walked towards the dormitory.

"Officials! It's broad daylight, what are you going to do? Let the servants come down!"

Liu Lanxiang struggled shyly.

"The most important thing about cavalry is riding skills. Today, I will let my concubine show my riding skills."
