Don't be a prince

Squeezing his throat, Li Chengqian said: "Everyone, since Gu has arranged for you, it's better for you to do so, lest outsiders find out and think that Gu can't afford to entertain you. Let go of wine and meat, whoever is cautious, don't I'm so lonely!"

Everyone only knew that the owner of Box No. [-] was very generous, and the bids were very arrogant during the auction.You must know that although there are princes and princes in the box except for a few merchants, none of them dare to reveal their wealth.Who didn't find a businessman as an intermediary to bid, and now it seems that the prince is actually among them.No wonder.

The prince has spoken up, if you don't eat and drink, you are not giving the prince face, and you are not giving the prince face. Although the prince can't do anything to you, it doesn't sound good to spread the word.He has fulfilled his duty as a host, and it is too much to act as a guest and make a fuss over the host.

Although they were reluctant to let go of the dazzling glaze under the sun, everyone could only go out with a slobber and find a brothel on the street to eat and drink.

"Chengqian, what is the purpose of your arrangement?"

Li Shimin naturally saw that the meal arrangement was purely superfluous.It's noon now, and it's the time when glazed wares are at their most glorious. If you don't start bidding at this time, you'll definitely be overwhelmed.

Li Chengqian smiled: "Father, just let this son-in-law keep you quiet, and you will know after a while. My son has already prepared the meal for noon today, and you don't have to go back to the palace. We will stay in this private room." Let's eat."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengqian ordered Zhang Yun to move over the folding table in the corner.

The people in the room went to the brothel to find food, but of course the bosses in the private room didn't need it. Someone brought the food in, so that some greedy guys could lie down at the window and swallow the beauty of Liuli.

Because he had a premonition that the emperor's father would come today, Li Chengqian ordered the kitchen to prepare the roast lamb in the morning.

It is actually very simple to roast the mutton well, as long as the mutton is roasted over low heat, the mutton is marinated in advance to remove the smell, and the mutton is sprinkled with cumin and other seasonings after roasting.

Like most of the seasonings of Thirteen Fragrances, cumin did not exist in the Tang Dynasty, and the cumin in the East Palace was robbed by Li Chengqian from Hu merchants.What is now called benzo fennel, is used as a medicinal material.

It was the first time for Li Shimin to eat this kind of mutton on iron skewers, but after tasting a bunch, he couldn't stop.

At noon, almost every single room wiped out a sheep.

Wiping his mouth, Li Shimin asked nonchalantly: "What's the seasoning on the mutton? I like it very much. I taught it to the imperial dining room. When I want to eat meat, I still have to eat this."

Li Chengqian was used to being robbed by this bandit emperor, so he could only reluctantly agree.

Those who left the auction house couldn't come back for a while, and it would be too unpleasant to go into the brothel just to drink and eat.

While waiting for these people, Lao Jin had already sent the treasures he had photographed into a single room for the emperor to play with first.

Grabbing two jade beads and rolling them back and forth in the palm of his hand, Li Shimin opened his mouth and asked: "You called all those princes and nobles to the auction, what should you do if they are cheated? This auction, as long as It’s for defrauding Hu merchants. Of course, I don’t care if you trap the rich family of five surnames. But if the truth is revealed in the future, be careful that you will be targeted. Don’t think that you will not be dealt with because you are the prince.”

Li Chengqian sat back on his small bench, and said indifferently: "You still need to go out, and when the auction is over, you will issue an order to reprimand and order those who took the glazed wares to be sent to the palace, and you will pay. Naturally, I won't be cheated, if I still pretend to have nothing to do with myself, guarding the baby and not letting go, I deserve to be cheated!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction.

Because he sneaked in, no one knew the emperor was there.

Although the private room is elegant, the sound insulation effect is not very good. Sitting in the private room, he can clearly hear the voices of the ministers in the second and third private rooms on both sides.Good guy, they are all rich!

Chapter 187 Drunk Mistake

Although Baiqisi's monitoring of each family is very strict, the estimation of their family property is still limited.

As an emperor, it was hard for him to believe that he could hear the word "seven thousand guan" from Fang Xuanling's mouth.

I'm really joking, when did the Fang family accumulate so much wealth?Seventy thousand can be shot casually?

Glancing at Lao Jin who was going out, Zhang Yun immediately understood what the emperor meant, and went out to threaten Lao Jin with the horizontal knife.

Today, the emperor wants to take a good look at how rich his subordinates are! ,

No matter how obsessed with pink, there must be a limit. As long as there is the first one to leave in each brothel, the rest, even if they are still nestled in the bed, will ignore a certain part of the high-spirited part, change their clothes and return to the auction.

After waiting all morning, finally came the auction of glazed wares, no matter what, I wanted to win one!

It's slow when you disperse, but it's fast when you gather. From the first person who came back, it took less than a stick of incense for everyone to gather.

The glazed wares were still placed there, and under the catalysis of alcohol, the guests became even more fascinated with those gleaming treasures.

The person on stage now has been replaced by Lao Jin.

As the number one leader in the gold and stone industry, he has much more credibility than Lao Li.

Stretching out his hand to pat the glazed tiger on the auction stage, Lao Jin's flat voice sounded: "A tiger, the starting price is [-] guan!"

Five thousand?

Before the people in the room could react, Cheng Yaojin's loud voice rang out: "Five thousand guan? My old Cheng gave [-] guan!"

Everyone involuntarily looked at Cheng Yaojin's single room. This person simply leaned his whole body out of the window, with one foot on the lower edge of the window and one hand on the top of the window. He looked aggressive, but his posture was a bit out of place. play.

When this one spoke, few dared to challenge him, even Cui He and Lu Zi'an shook their heads helplessly.The Demon King of Confusion has a great reputation, and no one wants to mess with this bastard.

Just because no one messed with them in the venue didn't mean that no one dared to challenge them in the private room.

Yu Chigong also jumped out, pointed at Cheng Yaojin and cursed: "I was about to speak, but you snatched it first, eleven thousand!"

Before the two of them officially began to scold, Li Xiaogong's voice sounded again: "Hehe, I also like this tiger very much, 1 guan!"

Tigers have always been warriors and totems worshiped by generals. In addition, the glazed tiger was shaped so imposingly that the generals who came to participate today were all red-eyed.

"Hahaha, everyone looting so hard, how could I miss Li Jing, [-] guan!"

Seeing that the three of them had made quotations, although Li Jing felt that something was wrong, he couldn't help but let out a cry.Anyway, it's just a price increase of one thousand guan, no matter what, someone will take it.

Sure enough, Li Ji's dark voice sounded: "What's the point of [-]? I just add it to [-]. If there are more, just pretend that I don't exist."

Adding [-] guan at once, it is hard for ordinary people to imagine such a big deal, but in the Datang military, this is common.

Unlike civil servants, military generals like Lufu the most, and they can't wait to eat meat every now and then, making their small life extraordinarily prosperous.The more they spend money, the more the emperor seems to let go of their guard.

In comparison, civil servants are inferior. From the beginning to now, there has not been a quotation in the single room of civil servants.

Li Ji had already increased the price to [-] guan, and the sudden increase of [-] guan made many people feel pain.

Li Chengqian, who was in the private room, couldn't help but praise Li Ji: "This guy is very familiar with the principles of auctions. Everyone added a thousand guan to a thousand guan, but it turned out that it was just a thousand more guan. One thousand guan, suddenly someone added [-] guan, which immediately reminded them of the previous [-] guan, and everyone feels distressed at this time."

Li Shimin said with a chuckle: "Li Ji has been stationed outside all year round, and it seems that he has made a lot of money at the border!"

"Father doesn't know that my son's property is protected by General Li Ji. My son feels embarrassed and ordered his subordinates to send five thousand guan to his house this year."

Speaking of Li Ji's use of military power to make a fortune, both Li Chengqian and Li Shimin took it for granted.Although doing so is not in line with military law, the general is outside, and the king's order is not acceptable.As long as you are hard enough and brave enough to fight, that's enough.Moreover, everyone knows that this is just a way for the general to defile himself.

The price of [-] guan made both Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong quiet down.The two bowed their heads and considered for a long time, but they could only give up.Fastest update../ ../

Although Lao Jin was much calmer than Li Dahai, he couldn't help his palms sweating when he saw that the first piece of glazed ware was sold at a sky-high price of [-] guan.When I hit the hammer board with a small hammer, the hammer came out of my hand.

"Sixteen thousand guan, deal!"

Seeing that the effect of a good start had been achieved, Li Chengqian walked to the window with a smile and gestured to Lao Jin.

Immediately afterwards, the second glazed vessel came on stage.

As soon as it was put up, there was a burst of cheers from the audience.

Yaoshou, what was lifted up at this time turned out to be a glazed Buddha!

Look at that benevolent face, look at the ingenious white hair between the brows in the center of the forehead, tsk tsk, if you enshrine such a glazed Buddha, you will definitely be able to achieve your wishes!

"Fifteen thousand!"

Wang Lang, head of the Taiyuan Wang family, stood up and shouted hoarsely.He believes in Buddhism very much in this lineage, and he is bound to get such a Buddha statue.

"Amitabha, [-] guan!"

Hearing this offer, the emperors in the No. [-] cell stood up to see which monk was so powerful.

An old monk also stood up. His long eyebrows showed his age. Although his monk's clothes were worn out, he could tell from the respectful appearance of the people around him that he was an eminent monk.

"Master Huijue of Tiantai Sect."

After saying this, Li Shimin sat back down again.

The Tiantai sect is a major sect of Buddhism, so it is naturally very rich.The temple property is all private property, no taxes, no political involvement in troubled times, and no participation in wars. I don’t know how much money I have accumulated over the years.With so much money, even the emperor is jealous.

"Infinite Life Buddha, the poor monk offered [-] guan! In the Sutra of Medicine Master Tathagata's Vows, the poor monk once saw a record: 'The Buddha told Manjushri, this is going to the East, and after passing through the ten-year-old Jiasha Buddhaland, there is a world-famous Jingliuli, the Buddha named Medicine Master Liuliguang Tathagata, originally practiced the bodhisattva way and made twelve great vows to make all sentient beings obtain what they seek.'

Looking at it now, the statues of Medicine Buddha Tathagata enshrined in our temples are nothing more than ordinary clay sculptures. Only by obtaining this treasure can we pass on our Buddha's vows. "

Another monk stood up. In the Buddhism of the Tang Dynasty, there was a big gap between the north, the south, and the east. The different sects and the types of scriptures they obtained led to great differences in their teachings.On the surface, it looks like one heart, but there are also many infighting behind the scenes.This is why Xuanzang wanted to go west to learn Buddhist scriptures.

Li Chengqian did not expect that a glazed Buddha could be connected with some kind of pharmacist Tathagata, making these monks so crazy.The reason why the craftsmen were ordered to cast this was for fun, and also because they wanted to see if Buddhism was really rich.

When distributing the invitations, he deliberately sent two of the invitations to the Buddhist sect, and now he was lucky enough to see the monks of the two sects fighting together for their faith and fighting for money.

"Forty thousand!"

"Forty-five thousand guan!"

"Forty-eight thousand guan!"

"Fifty thousand!!"

After shouting this, Master Huijue immediately stepped forward a few steps, walked to the front of the stage, and shouted at Yuanming, the representative of the southern Buddhist sect, "[-] guan, no matter how much you pay, the old monk is just [-] guan more than you." Come on, bid!"

Seeing the crazy Master Huijue, everyone was speechless.This is still the master with profound Dharma, this is clearly a rascal!

No matter in terms of seniority or age, Yuan Ming couldn't compare with Master Huijue, so he could only sit down with a livid face.

Master Huijue, who got the glazed Buddha for [-] guan, immediately ran out with joy like a child, and he wanted to quickly bring this Buddha statue back to the temple to worship.Although there are many [-] crowns, this Buddha statue will soon be able to play its role, attracting countless good men and women.

Seeing that the price of the second glazed ware had been fired up to [-] guan, many people had pained expressions on their faces.

Miscalculated, if it’s a simple two-person transaction, there is still a business model of bargaining, but there are so many people here, you don’t like expensive, others think it’s appropriate, and some people even think it’s a good deal to get a higher price.

The nose that smelled a hint of conspiracy at first, but after the third glazed vessel was brought up, it suddenly smelled the fragrance of flowers.

That's right, phantom smell.It obviously doesn't have any smell, but seeing the vivid and colorful flowers in the vase is like smelling the fragrance of flowers.

For the first time, Lao Jin extended his introduction: "Everyone, this thing should have been brought out later, but the price of the Buddha statue in front was too high. .As you can see, it's a vase with flowers in it. But ah."

Speaking of this, Lao Jin stretched out his hand to grab a flower, pulled it hard, and immediately pulled out the hairpin body from underneath.

"If you pull it out, it's a woman's hairpin. It's nothing magical, it's just a thing to please women. It costs a thousand sticks. You can shout..."

"One thousand five hundred!"

Surprisingly, this sound was actually shouted by Lao Fang himself.

This sound confirmed his fear of guilt.

"Two thousand five hundred!"

Something even more unexpected happened, it was Yu Chigong who called for the price.

Unlike Fang Xuanling, this guy really respects and loves his old wife.For the sake of his old wife, he even refused the emperor's marriage invitation with the allusion of "a wife of dross will not go to court" in person.

"Three...Forget it, Yuchi Old Hei, I, Old Cheng, will sell you face!"

This sound is so loud that it can be said to be heard all over.Cheng Yaojin wanted to do it, but who could compete with Yu Chigong?So Yu Chigong got what he wanted a long time ago as he wished.

Two thousand five hundred guan is not a lot of money, at least for those present today.

With this detente, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.It's better to be down a little bit, and the heart can't bear it if it's so high.

So far, all the people who have taken the bait are Tang people, and Hu merchants have not yet made an offer.

This won't work, people of our own family, even the five surnames of Buddhism, have to be less tricked, and we must pay close attention to tricking outsiders!

So, anxious Li Chengqian walked to the window and gestured to Lao Jin.

After Lao Jin saw it, he immediately turned around and gave an order.Not long after, a giant wolf with a vigorous body and blood-red teeth was lifted up.

Seeing this sculpture, the generals all exclaimed in unison, and the sound of running in a hurry and knocking on the door immediately rang out.

Even Li Shimin stood up involuntarily, pointed at the giant wolf and said to Li Chengqian: "Prince! Tell me, don't you know the meaning of this wolf?"

Li Chengqian blinked and said with a smile: "Of course I know, so my caravan has already taken the giant wolf to the border. The giant wolf you are wearing is much more gorgeous and bigger than this one."

Li Chengqian spoke loudly on purpose, and Lao Jin had already gone out to explain to the generals, so he stopped.

The totem of the Turks is a wolf, and they all claim to be descendants of the Sirius tribe.As for which bloodline is closest to the Sirius God, there has been no conclusion from the fights.Well now, with the appearance of such a glazed giant wolf, whoever gets it can overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.And Xue Yantuo Tuyuhun and others can also use this glazed giant wolf to build a good relationship with the Western Turks.

Before, the Western Turks had already proposed marriage to the Tang Dynasty, and it was because of Xieli's intervention that they failed.This is already a trend that the two sides are about to become allies.If the appearance of this giant wolf led to a change in the situation, it would be terrible.

"Thirty thousand pens!"

This time, there was no need for Lao Jin to quote, and Hu Shang shouted in clear Tang dialect.

"Forty thousand!"

"Fifty thousand!"

"[-] guan, plus wow baby Liu Tululu..."

Some were anxious, and even turned into Western Region dialect as they spoke.

The scene was crazy, everyone in Tang was dumbfounded looking at Hu Shang who was drooling and his eyes were green.Those who know the truth naturally understand, those who don't know the truth think these beards are crazy.
