Another World's Imperial Examination Official Path
Chapter 86 Bidding
All the major families have received the invitation letter from Yao Pingzhi. Faced with the official invitation letter from the county magistrate, although most of them are unwilling in their hearts, they still decide to go.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who don't pay attention to Yao Pingzhi, or because of some reasons, they don't like Yao Pingzhi, so they naturally ignore the invitation letter, such as the Zhao family and the Sun family.
But Chu Zhuang and Yao Pingzhi didn't care, it was enough for so many people to come.
A group of people walked into the county office, discussing as they walked.
"What do you think magistrate Yao is looking for us this time?"
"Is there any other purpose, just want to ask us to donate money?"
"I have already donated once, donate again?"
"No, don't expect me to spend another penny this time!"
Standing on the veranda, Chu Zhuang and Yunmengxi watched these people walk into the county office. After hearing what these people said, they couldn't help showing a smile on their lips. They only hoped that these people would not slap themselves in the face in the future.
Experience a really fragrant feeling.
"Hmph, I'm afraid they won't accept any donations at that time!" Yun Mengxi said softly with a cold snort.
Chu Zhuang chuckled and said, "Let's go, it's about to start, let's go in and have a look."
As the representative of Zuixianlou, Bai Jingting naturally wanted to attend. He had already entered, but Chuzhuang and Yunmengxi were not present. Yao Pingzhi specially prepared a screen for them to watch from behind.
Yao Pingzhi glanced at the people who came down, knowing in his heart that after the invitation letter was sent out, almost six or seven out of ten came, and he secretly remembered the people who didn't come.
Today, you don't care about me, come here, you can't afford it!
"Everyone!" Yao Pingzhi waved his hands, and the voices of discussion all around stopped immediately, and all eyes were focused on one of Yao Ping.
"I called you here today to discuss something."
"This winter, many disaster victims stayed outside the city..."
As soon as Yao Ping opened his mouth, everyone's eyes began to drift away. It looked like the headmaster was on the top and the students were deserting the bottom at the opening ceremony. Seeing this, Chu Zhuang couldn't help chuckling.
It's just that they don't know what kind of reaction they will have if they hear the news that Yao Pingzhi is about to announce, which is similar to the school's holiday.
While talking, Yao Pingzhi paid attention to the expressions of the people below, sneered in his heart, and continued: "So I would like to ask everyone to show a little kindness and help these disaster victims."
"Master County Magistrate, we really have no money!"
"I've already donated once this year. We can't let us use our entire family to help these disaster victims, right?"
"I'm old at the top and young at the bottom. I really have no money!"
As soon as Yao Pingzhi finished speaking, the group of people below began to cry and became poor. In short, it was just two words, no money!
"Quiet!" Li Fei sternly reprimanded when he saw everyone shouting.
Only then did the room return to calm, but everyone didn't agree with Yao Pingzhi's words. Anyway, they wouldn't take out the money. Yao Pingzhi couldn't threaten them with a knife to take the money, could he? !
"Don't be impatient, everyone, and listen to me."
Yao Pingzhi waved his hand, pointed to the rice paper in Li Fei's hand and said, "In addition, I plan to repair a charity pavilion at the gate of the city, and erect a charity monument outside the charity pavilion..."
Speaking of this, everyone began to realize that something was beyond their imagination, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what Yao Pingzhi meant.
Are you talking about donations?Why did they suddenly jump to the Charity Pavilion and the Charity Monument? Could it be that they were too fascinated by their desertion and missed something?
Yao Pingzhi already had confidence in his heart, so he was not in a hurry, and told about the construction of the charity monument and charity pavilion.Yao Pingzhi glanced around, and then clapped his hands. Li Fei immediately led someone up, holding a large piece of rice paper in his hand, which was the size of the charity stele negotiated by Yao Pingzhi and Chu Zhuang.
The Charity Monument can be divided into upper and lower parts. The upper part is engraved with big characters, bold and black.
In the same way, everyone present bids for the auction, and the one with the highest price wins.
As for the next part, there are a total of [-] seats, the price is fixed, one gold coin for one seat, and it is determined by the lottery of the people present. The lottery drawn can be transferred, and you only need to register before engraving the stele.
The eyes of the people present were a little lax, but following Yao Pingzhi's words, their eyes became brighter and brighter, and they greedily looked at the piece of paper Li Fei held in his hand.
Where is the city gate?That is the place that must pass through when entering and exiting Ming County. What does it mean to set up a charity monument in this place with their names engraved on it? !
This means being famous!
There are noble people in the world who don't care about fame and wealth, but after all, they are only a few, at least none of these people present is such a person.
So facing the opportunity proposed by Yao Pingzhi, how could they not be moved.
"Oh, these disaster victims are indeed pitiful. I can't bear to look at them. I still have some surplus food at home. Instead of keeping it, it's better to use it to help the victims." Someone said pretendingly.
The person next to him glared at him. Just now, this person yelled the loudest, saying that he had no money and it was profitable right now, but he immediately changed his words. He was really despicable and shameless!
"Although a certain family has no money left, these victims are really pitiful. Even if they sell their property, they have to help them and relieve the county magistrate's worries!" Someone immediately said loudly.
The large-scale real fragrance scene is being staged in full swing.
The people present were all human beings, and the quick-response immediately expressed their position, hoping to attract Yao Pingzhi's attention.
Looking at these people, Yunmengxi couldn't help but chuckled. He covered his mouth and looked at Chu Zhuang beside him, and whispered, "These people are really shameless!"
"Only if they are shameless, the teacher can ask for money!" Chu Zhuang said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
Yunmengxi showed a thoughtful look, nodded, and continued to look at the reactions of everyone in the field.
Yao Pingzhi sneered in his heart when he heard the flattering words to him from below, no matter how nice the words are, it is useless, don't even think about getting a monument if you don't have money!
"Everyone's love, Pingzhi has already felt it."
Yao Pingzhi stopped the commotion, and then said: "It's just that this charity monument, since it's called a charity monument, of course only those who have donated money can be engraved on it, otherwise wouldn't the name not be worthy of the name?"
"That's right, that's right!" Everyone echoed.
Yao Pingzhi nodded in satisfaction, and then stated the conditions for the monument, and finally said: "The number of places is limited, first come, first come, late bids, no matter how high the price is, there will be no place."
"First of all, the first position. The starting price is ten gold coins, and each increase must not be less than one gold coin. Now start bidding!"
Yao Pingzhi glanced at Bai Jingting's direction inadvertently. This position was naturally reserved for Zuixianlou. After all, it was Chu Zhuang's idea, and they took so much money to come here. They deserved this position.
Before everyone could react, Bai Jingting immediately stood up and called out his bidding price: "Eighty gold coins!"
"Eighty gold coins once!"
"Eighty gold coins twice!"
"Eighty gold coins three times, deal!"
Li Fei handed over the rice paper in his hand to another person, and started working as the host from the sidelines.
Bai Jingting suddenly bid a high price of [-] gold coins, and everyone was in an uproar. Moreover, they were not yet familiar with the process of this new bidding method, so no one bid for a while.
Li Fei didn't wait for them to recover, and immediately struck the gavel, confirming the first place!
Announced directly on the spot: "Congratulations to Mr. Bai for winning the No.1 position of the Charity Monument!"
"Is Master Bai planning to engrave his name on it?" Li Fei looked at Bai Jingting and asked with a smile.
"Hey, I don't engrave my own name. I bid for Zuixianlou. Of course, I want to engrave the name of the signboard of Zuixianlou." Bai Jingting and Li Fei said in harmony.
When the merchants below heard Bai Jingting's words, their eyes lit up instantly. At first they thought that this matter had nothing to do with them. After all, they were just small merchants, and it was enough for them to get rich. What would they do if they wanted to be so famous, so they just stood aside Watching the crowd scramble.
But right now Bai Jingting's words instantly opened up a new way of thinking for them. They don't need to be famous, but their shop does!
And there is still a great need!
Yao Pingzhi saw that the atmosphere in the venue was heated up in an instant, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes, but then he thought about the faces of these people before, and sneered again in his heart.
Yao Pingzhi looked at Li Fei, and Li Fei immediately understood, took down the rice paper, and Yao Pingzhi personally wrote the words Zuixianlou on it.
"Be quiet, everyone. Next, bid for the second position. The starting price is still ten gold coins, and the starting price cannot be lower than one gold coin each time." Li Fei tapped the hammer, very satisfied with his current role.
"The second seat is not as good as the first one, why is it also the starting price of ten gold coins?"
"The price is so expensive, anyway, I won't take pictures!"
"Everyone, don't bid maliciously, sit down and discuss carefully, there is no need to set the price too high!"
There are people below who are persuading, but everyone understands the truth, but there are only so many positions on the rice paper, and there are so many people present, too many monks, too little porridge, no matter what, it is not enough.
"Fifty gold coins!" The person who clamored that he would never bid was the first to shout out the high price.
"51丨"
"55!"
The price gradually increased, but it did not reach the level that Bai Jingting was afraid of, and soon the price stopped at 65 gold coins.
Li Fei slowly tapped the gavel in his hand, and said slowly, "65 gold coins, the first time!"
"Why are you calling so slowly?!" the current bidder said dissatisfied.
After all, when Bai Jingting was bidding, this Li Fei yelled so fast, before they could even react, they had already struck the hammer.
However, when they waited for them, they called so slowly, as if they were afraid that others would not bid.
It's really annoying to compare people to people!
"Then I was too nervous the first time!" Li Fei said calmly and dissatisfied: "If you are not satisfied, let's do it again
Anyway, what is being delayed right now is the time of the bidders, and Li Fei is in a hurry.
Bidding pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, Yao Pingzhi was on the side, but he did not say a word about it, obviously Bai Jingting's matter was his acquiescence.
Shady, there is shady!
Everyone present shouted in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out. After all, if Bai Jingting canceled their chance, they would have no place to cry.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who don't pay attention to Yao Pingzhi, or because of some reasons, they don't like Yao Pingzhi, so they naturally ignore the invitation letter, such as the Zhao family and the Sun family.
But Chu Zhuang and Yao Pingzhi didn't care, it was enough for so many people to come.
