I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 832: Shelter from the Wind and Rain
After the news of the property controlled by the imperial court auctioned off was confirmed, all the southern states who thought they had the financial resources rushed to Jiaozhou.

In the face of interests, they no longer pay attention to Ziheng's marriage, but speculate on which properties the court will release for auction.

The action of the imperial court was very fast. The Ministry of Households organized the auctioned properties into booklets and printed thousands of booklets.

There is a threshold for participating in the auction, and individuals need to submit proof of financial resources.

Yang Xi and his wife were the first to respond, and the news spread quickly. Everyone saw that Princess An had submitted financial proof. They didn't have the face of Princess An, so they could only submit the proof honestly.

The sky was beautiful on the day of the auction, and the rare cloudless, blue sky made people feel relaxed and happy.

Yang Xi and his wife came very early, and Yang Jin also came to participate. They were surprised by Yang Jin's arrival, because they knew that Xixuan had prepared an estate for Yang Jin.

However, there are too many acquaintances participating in the auction today, the Bai family, the Ming family, the Li family and so on have all come.

The couple found their names and took their seats. Coincidentally, Ming Jiao was on their left and Li Yongyan was on their right.

Zhou Yu was very playful, "Have you two already chosen the property you want to buy?"

Li Yongyan was wary of Ming Jiao, they each represented the family, but they couldn't help answering Ding Guogong's words, "There is indeed an eye-catching property."

The Li family has been staying in Jiaozhou in peace and contentment. The emperor does not allow the family to leave the south. The Li family is the mother of the empress and follows the footsteps of the emperor. No one has made small moves in private. The Li family has never moved. In must win.

Ming Jiao will not back down either. The Ming family has a big business, no matter how many properties they have, they don’t dislike too many properties. Especially after the detailed property tax was promulgated, many problems were discovered within the family, and some clan members secretly hid a lot of property.

Ming Jiao was wary of Li Yongyan, "I did bring a lot of money."

After finishing speaking, the mouth was very bitter. Everyone in the world knew that the most important thing for the Li family was money. Back then, the Li family had minerals!

Now all the minerals are owned by the state, and the Li family has also been compensated!
Yang Xi likes scented tea, so she signaled the maid to change scented tea, while tasting the tea, she looked around and found that Princess Dai Lin of Lanta was also here, bringing her husband-in-law with her.

Zhou Ran didn't come, Zhou Ran said it was enough for the industry.

When all the people participating in the auction arrived, Yang Xi took a look and saw that all of them had come.

Yang Xixuan brought the prince to the scene in person, and if he doesn't come, he will be told the result, so the effect is the same if he doesn't come.

The auction started. The first thing to be auctioned was the property in the capital controlled by the imperial court. Everyone sat up straight.

After moving the capital, the most valuable thing is the capital industry. It can be said that the industry in the capital is not a renewable resource, and if you sell one, you will lose one.

At the beginning, the big families didn't participate in the bidding, and they gradually joined in later, and Yang Xi and his wife also raised the beat.

At this time, don't pay attention to humility. Whoever makes humility will regret it in the future.

The auction was not an auction of bundled properties. Yang Xixuan had a very bad heart, so he split up all the properties and sold them.

Yang Xi and his wife raised a lot of prices, and sometimes they missed. They could only buy it with money. After one auction, they missed twice. They were a Zhuangzi outside Beijing and the foundation of a house. The foundation is gone, and I want to rebuild on my own.

A sum of money went into the household department, and all the teeth of Shangshule in the household department came out.

Yang Xixuan silently recorded the families with the most bids. He was already very rich, but the background of these families was shocking.

This year, the imperial court continued to make big moves, first auctioning off properties controlled by the imperial court, and then inviting bids for the Northern Project.

Merchants who compete for the industry dare not participate, and the engineering merchants in the north have sharpened their heads to compete, but winning the bid is not easy. First of all, you must have a good reputation.

With the improvement of commercial law, there is also a vague concept of merchant credit, which was formally raised this time.

Yang Xixuan took precautions, and the naval battle in Guanyi was finally over. During the naval battle, Yang Xixuan sold weapons and made a lot of food. Now that the naval battle is over, batches of food are entering the granary of Huaguo.

Guan Yi did not win this sea battle, but if he continued to fight, he would only suffer heavy losses. The two sides stopped fighting, and Yang Xixuan also played a big role. Both foreigners and Guan Yi defended the Chinese navy.

Guan Yi still did not dare to come to Hua in person, so he sent envoys.

When Guan Yi's envoys arrived, floods broke out in the southern states with constant rain, and the dams could not bear the water, and several sections burst.

It's not that the dam repairs cut corners, but that the rainwater is too heavy and the dams can't hold it.

Yang Xixuan received the envoys, and Guan Yi's central idea of ​​the letter of credence thanked them. The purpose of the envoys this time was to exchange technology.

Yang Xixuan invited his brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, I am not going to continue exchanging technology with Guan Yi."

This naval battle made him see Guan Yi clearly. He couldn't let Guan Yi continue to grow. Now Guan Yi needs his technology. Sooner or later, Guan Yi will research technology independently. This is not what he wants to see.

Zhou Yu, "The initiative rests with the emperor."

Yang Xixuan smiled, he would reject the envoy and write back to Guan Yi himself.

He has seen that Guan Yi will develop rapidly in the next few years, he is afraid of Guan Yi and has to admit that Guan Yi is very capable.

Northeast, Zhenyuan set off to go north after Zhenyuan, and he personally sent Zilu back to the south when he arrived in the north.

It's just that Zilu walked very slowly, and every time he took a break, he would ask about the local legends of gods and ghosts, which caused Zilu to not return to Jiaozhou for a long time.

When Zhenyuan returned to Yunzhou, he already had a reputation, and Ziheng arranged a lot of errands without hesitation, and even waved his hand to let Yuan Tong judge lead Zhenyuan to do the errands.

Yang Xi and his wife didn't go back to the north, they wrote to Ziheng, Ziheng had revealed to Yuan's family the intention of getting married, Yuan Tongpan's family had guessed for a long time, and Yuan Tongpan was very happy now that the guess came true.

Yuan Tong's judgment is neither high nor pedantic, it is not easy for him to get to where he is today, he is not greedy for Duke Ding to support him, he just asks someone to speak up for him when something goes wrong.

Duke Ding and Princess An, how many life-saving medicines have been given by the courtiers, they are the ones who can influence the emperor!
That's why Yuan Tongpan was very attentive to Zhenyuan. No matter whether he was engaged or not, Zhenyuan was the nephew of Princess An, so he would put all his heart into leading the young man on errands.

What's more, the young man is already very outstanding, he has already made a name for himself at a young age, coupled with his humble and polite temperament, the Yuan family likes it more and more.

One taught with the heart and the other learned with the heart, and Zhenyuan quickly got started.

Spring plowing in the north has not been affected, although more rain is still within the acceptable range.

The imperial court had already made defensive preparations for the flood in the south. From the evacuation of the people to the rescue in an orderly manner, this time the natural disaster soldiers participated in the rescue. According to the imperial court, the soldiers not only defended against the enemy, but also saved the people from fire and water, and also sheltered the people from the wind and rain.

Yang Xi and his wife also went to the scene of the flood. They stood on a high place and looked at the desperate soldiers. The common people spontaneously made soup for the soldiers.
