Infrastructure Throne
Chapter 33 Sword Auction
Hearing Shen Qingze's order, at first, the Lance brothers thought it was a slave contract with another name, but when they got it, the two were shocked by the lenient terms above.
Not to mention food and housing, there are fixed working hours every day, and the extra working hours are counted as "overtime". After verification by the superior supervisor, you can receive a small amount of "subsidy".
Remuneration is distributed according to the "professional title" every month, and by the end of the year, after calculating the "performance" of the year, there are additional bonuses to be claimed!
The entire contract is divided into two parts, rights and obligations, and there is no word master and slave at all.
It even clearly stated that no one, including Shen Qingze, can beat the goblin orcs who come to work at will. On the contrary, if they are bullied and beaten at work, they can still complain.
Working day and night for the master is no longer an "obligation" as a slave, but a way to make a living and realize value as a "person".
Although the Lance brothers have strong doubts about the right to "complain", there is no doubt that this contract is a preferential treatment they have never seen.
Even in the most beautiful dream, I dare not dream of such a good thing.
Although Shen Qingze has repeatedly emphasized that this is only fairness that everyone should enjoy.
Holding the signed contract, Lance peeked at the side of Shen Qingze's face.
Although that face was full of business-like indifference, Lance couldn't help but wonder if the other party gave them such superior treatment because of his beauty?
Aren't those nobles like this?In order to play with the body and mind of the beautiful slave, first give a little sweet date to lure the other party.
Thinking of this, Lance stepped forward secretly, standing between his younger brother and Shen Qingze, completely blocking Shen Qingze's sight.
Shen Qingze: "?"
He has freshly baked hot blueprints in his arms, and he wants to have an in-depth exchange with Els about the shipbuilding industry!
"My lord!" Panting, Teng Er ran into the yard, saluted Yan Zui and Shen Qingze respectively, and then took out a piece of parchment rolled with string from his arms.
"This is the list of treasures that will be publicly auctioned by the auction house under the branch of the Blue Sky Business Alliance in the near future."
"According to the instructions of the officiant, I have already contacted the steward of the branch of the Bikong Merchant Alliance. The man said that he is very interested in the pair of swords and swords we want to auction and is willing to prepare for us. Once the auction is successful, Bikong Merchant The League will take a [-]% commission."
Yan Zui held his small whip, and Shi Shiran came to Shen Qingze's side: "You decide to cooperate with Bikong Business Alliance?"
"No." Shen Qingze seemed to have eyes behind his back, grabbed the long whip that the other party had secretly thrown over him, and yanked hard...it couldn't be pulled.
Tsk, grabbing the blade failed.
It seems that Yan Zui's level is twice as high as his own.
In the future, the skills given by the test system should not be found by Yan Zui. If he fails every time, does he want to lose face?
Yan Zui smiled and tugged at the handle of the whip, swinging it around playfully, even with the other party's hand: "Does Master Priest like my whip so much? Don't let it go."
Shen Qingze let go immediately, letting the whip hit the ground with a crackling sound.
He explained slowly: "The Blue Sky Merchant Alliance is powerful, and it is more than enough to eat our goods, but relatively, they are specialized in business, and they will definitely lower the purchase price and sell it at a higher price to make a difference. I don't want to be taken advantage of by them .”
Yan Zui rested his chin on one hand and nodded vigorously, but he didn't know what he was agreeing with.
Shen Qingze glanced at him: "As for the two brothers Tia and Lott, since you have found Lott in the smuggling investigation, this business definitely cannot be done with him, so we only have one option left now, which is Young City Lord Tia."
"I sent Jin Da to inquire. It is said that Tia is weak and lives in seclusion. It is difficult to see him at ordinary times. He only occasionally goes to the auctions and arenas of the Blue Sky Merchant Alliance."
Yan Zui narrowed his eyes: "You want to auction off a pair of swords first to get his attention?"
Shen Qingze took the parchment from Teng's second hand, unfolded it, and looked at it bit by bit: "Compared to the two brothers Tialot, Lott is stronger, and it can be said that he is pressing hard on the succession of the city lord."
"Once the old city lord dies, the two of them will definitely fight. We will help whoever is weak. Before they fight, they will both lose and win. There is no time to pay attention to our small rural town."
"We take advantage of this period of time to develop our own behind closed doors, and we can also earn a sum of military expenses by the way, why not do it?"
Yan Zui played with the horsewhip in his hand, clicked his tongue lightly: "You are really bad."
Shen Qingze turned away his face and ignored him, and ordered Jin Dao: "The escape of slaves happened in Lot's smelting workshop tonight, and it will definitely spread throughout the city tomorrow. Keep a low profile these few days and prepare two sets for Lance Brothers." Capes and masks."
Jin Da nodded: "Don't be so cautious, there are many goblins and orcs in Mingzhu City."
Shen Qingze glanced at Els, and said indifferently: "They are outstanding in appearance, if they are recognized, they will cause trouble, so we should be more cautious. After selling this batch of goods, we will leave Pearl City as soon as possible."
"Yes."
On the other side, Brother Lance stood in the corner and whispered intimately.
Lance held his younger brother's thin shoulders, fixed his falcon-like eyes on each other, and said in a stern tone:
"Eyrs, listen, although we have a new owner, you must not be alone with him. If he tries to bully you, you must yell no and stop, you understand?"
Ayers was silent for a moment, lovingly patted his brother's troubled head, his expression was indescribable: "Brother, I think you think too much..."
※※※
Three days later, it was the day of the January auction of the Blue Sky Business Alliance.
There are two landmark buildings under the Pearl branch of the Blue Sky Business Alliance, one is the arena in the south of the city, and the other is the auction house in the inner city.
The Blue Sky Auction House used 91 blue bricks of the same size to form a square outer wall. The dome is conical, symbolizing the roundness of the sky and the earth.
The inner layer of the dome is covered with a kind of frosted glass called crystal sand, which is made of spliced irregular small pieces. It was transported by water from the south and is very rare and valuable.
Whenever the sun rises, the brilliant light shines through the glass, reflecting colorful hazy shadows. It is said that even the capital palaces of the Mansi allies and the Great Xia Empire may not use such luxurious and luxurious decorations on a large scale.
Shen Qingze, Yan Zui and his party sat in the VIP seats on the second floor, and the pair of swords they auctioned were the finale of this auction.
Every VIP seat on the second floor has a partition, so they don't disturb each other. The dignitaries and dignitaries in Pearl City are all here, and those sitting in the lobby on the first floor are their spokespersons and a large number of individual customers from other places.
Before the auction started, the lobby on the first floor was full of people, and everyone was chatting chaotically. Most likely, the topic was inseparable from the shocking "slave escape" a few days ago.
I heard that a few slaves were not captured in the end. Everyone would rather starve to death than return to that hellish smelting workshop. Not only did Lott lose a large group of slaves, he also lost a large number of iron objects, and his face was thrown into the dust. up.
"The first treasure, a set of blue and white glazed porcelain tea set, starts at 300 silver coins! 50 silver coins increase the price!"
The auction just started, and the bustling hall immediately entered a climax of bidding. Even in the game world, collecting those exquisite and delicate porcelain is one of the ways for dignitaries to show off their wealth.
Shen Qingze looked up at the frosted glass on the dome of the auction. This kind of glass is made of saltpetre and sand. The reason why the light is hazy is because the purity and transparency are too low.
If glass with high transparency can be produced, the market value will not be lower than that of porcelain.
※※※
Next door to Shen Qingze, the VIP room was very quiet, all the servants and maids bowed their heads, not daring to breathe.
Lott sat on the chair with his legs crossed. The cushion and back were made of a whole piece of bear skin. He supported his side face with one hand and held a snakeskin whip in the other. A sneer appeared on his rough face. .
Fortan, the steward of the smelting workshop, knelt at his feet tremblingly, lying on the ground with his whole body buried in his head, crying with snot and tears about how loyal he was, and about the group of ungrateful slaves How abominable.
Every time he said a word, Lott whipped him until he was completely silent, not daring to say a word.
In the eyes of nobles like Lott, it doesn't matter whether they are in charge or goblin slaves, it's all the same.
On the booth in the hall on the first floor, the host vigorously introduced one rare treasure after another, constantly mobilizing everyone's enthusiasm for competition and the psychology of comparing and showing off.
"The last auction is the grand finale of this session!"
finally come!
Many merchants who came here specially to collect the magical weapons suddenly showed excitement.
On the second floor, Lott, who had been waiting for this moment, and Tia, who seldom appeared in front of people, both cheered up.
"This is a pair of precious knives and swords forged by the forging craftsmen of Yuanliu City. It is easy to cut gold and jade, blow hair and hair!"
A blacksmith in Yuanliu City?
Many people showed doubts, is there any famous blacksmith master in that remote town?
The host paused, and looked down at the two weird and awkward terms on the entry list—"Dragon Slaying Sword and Yitian Sword!"
"Start at 50 gold coins! 500 silver coins for a one-time increase!"
Two burly servants lifted the curtains of the knife box and the sword box one from the left and the other from the right, and the two exquisitely crafted steel swords were immediately exposed to everyone's eyes.
No more than a finger wide, the dark silver metal texture is smooth and seamless, with faint patterns hidden, and a chilling cold light floating on the blade.
In order to sell the treasures at a good price, the people in the auction house specially selected an angle with excellent light to create a visual texture of light and shadow.
There were exclamations from the crowd one after another, and bids were immediately made.
Lott was overjoyed at first, but when he took a closer look, he couldn't help being taken aback, his thick brows furrowed, and he kicked Fordan who was kneeling on the ground heavily:
"Dog thing! Didn't you say that the treasured sword you presented to me last time was forged by the smelting workshop after several months of hard work?! Why is there an identical treasured sword in the blue sky auction house? And it is a pair of swords?! "
Futan's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted from fright, how could it be possible!Such a rare treasured knife, that country bumpkin outsider actually hid a pair? !
"One hundred gold coins!" In the hall on the first floor, a young man in a formal dress held up the price tag in a steady rhythm.
As soon as he spoke, the venue was immediately silent.
Lott stared at the man's back, very annoyed, this guy was none other than his sick and beautiful brother's loyal eagle dog.
Lot originally planned to use the treasured sword presented by Futan to celebrate the birthday of the city lord's father and please him. If his brother used this pair of swords to be the first...
Wouldn't it be a contrast to his picking up people's wisdom!
Futan's head was sweating profusely, and he couldn't wipe it off. His mind was blank. The snakeskin whip was hanging above his head like a murderous noose. In desperation, Futan suddenly hissed:
"Stolen! It must have been stolen by a thief in the smelting workshop during the chaos when the slaves ran away that night!"
"Think about it, what kind of blacksmiths are there in Yuanliu City? I've never heard of it! The best craftsmen and blacksmiths in the Northland are all in our Pearl City! How could such a sharp weapon be made in such a rural place!"
"This pair of swords! It's yours! The auction house is selling stolen goods!"
Not to mention food and housing, there are fixed working hours every day, and the extra working hours are counted as "overtime". After verification by the superior supervisor, you can receive a small amount of "subsidy".
Remuneration is distributed according to the "professional title" every month, and by the end of the year, after calculating the "performance" of the year, there are additional bonuses to be claimed!
