Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 403 Is the Grain Squeezed Dry?Then take the silver!

Chen Rui, who bought the fairy medicine, was very proud, and smiled to Qian Tongsheng who was seated next to him: "With this fairy medicine, not only can you suppress thirst for a year, but you can sell it at a high price even if you don't use it. Brother should have seen it, even the bottle containing the medicine is a fairy product."

"Yeah yeah."

Qian Tongsheng had a false smile on his face, but he hummed inwardly: What are you proud of?My Qian family is no worse than your Chen family, and I will buy a good treasure later.

As far as the imperial court is concerned, even if they have money, they may not necessarily be able to buy food.Because those big landlords and rich merchants who store grain are wary of the imperial court.

But for local wealthy businessmen, gentry, and landlords, they can buy grain with money, not only because they know who has grain, but also because the three are inextricably linked, or most of them are from the same family. In a family, there are those who study and become officials, those who become rich in business, and those who keep their capital by farming.

Even if the dynasties change, the family status of these people may not necessarily decline; even if there is occasional decline, they can recover after decades of dormancy; in this way, the family will last for thousands of years!

All in all, these people can find connections to buy food if they have money, but they may not really have that much food at home, so the price is so confident.

Here, Chen Rui still wanted to continue showing off to others, so he saw Ming Shilan in the pavilion taking out another small medicine bottle.

Lu Jiude said with a loudspeaker: "This elixir can suppress yang hyperactivity. If you feel dizzy due to yang hyperactivity, it will take effect immediately after taking it once. The old owner of the Xu family bought a year-old from me. The starting price is [-] shimi. ··”

Yang hyperactivity is also a disease of the rich, and it is more common than diabetes.Although Chinese medicine in the Ming Dynasty had a good treatment method for yang hyperactivity, the effect was slow.

Therefore, after listening to Lu Jiude's explanation, many elderly rich men paid more attention.

In the end, this bottle of medicine for curing yang hyperactivity cost [-] shimi.

Then, Ming Shilan took out a glass mirror with a length and width of more than one foot from the box.

Seeing this, many wealthy people in Suzhou were disappointed.

"Isn't this a diorama? Although it is bigger and clearer."

"It does look like a diorama, but I don't know what's so wonderful about it."

"It's said that these are all fairy treasures, so you shouldn't sell ordinary things?"

"Who knows."

"···"

When everyone was discussing in low voices, Lu Jiude said: "This object is called a glass mirror, it looks like a diorama, but it is not a diorama.

First of all, a diorama cannot be so big and clear. If you have a diorama at home, you should know that a diorama is at most the size of a palm.

Second, mercury is used in diorama making, and mercury is poisonous.If you women in your family often use dioramas, toxins will slowly invade your skin, aging faster, and even die prematurely due to multiple diseases.

Your Majesty does not want to see Westerners use poisonous mirrors to murder my Daming lady, so this time not only bestow ten better and non-toxic glass mirrors, but also establish a glass mirror factory in Nanjing.

Of course, since the glass mirror is a vulgar item, the starting price this time is also cheaper, at [-] shimi, and each increase in price should not be less than [-] shimi. "

Western dioramas made of "tin amalgam" were born in the early [-]th century and spread to middle-class households during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty, some dioramas were introduced and were extremely sought after.

Aimee Zhu originally planned to build a glass mirror factory to make money, so naturally she wanted to attack Western dioramas.

Therefore, Hao Guangming taught Lu Jiude what he said just now, and killed the reputation of the diorama with a stick.

Sure enough, knowing the difference between glass mirrors and dioramas, even though they knew that they were ordinary things, the rich still actively bid for them.

In the end, ten glass mirrors were sold at a high price of [-] shimi!

Afterwards, Lu Jiude started selling "fairy medicines" again, mainly for the treatment of yang hyperactivity, diabetes and calcium supplementation, but it was no longer a single bottle auction, but grouped, or a group of three bottles, or five bottles One group.

A total of [-] bottles of "fairy medicine" were auctioned before and after, and more than one million shimi were obtained!
In fact, Lu Jiude brought a total of [-] bottles (all small bottles), but after the photo was taken, the willingness of Suzhou rich people to buy plummeted.

He knew that most of Suzhou's rice grains were just that.

In other words, that's all for the rich who are willing to use rice grains to buy immortal medicines.

Remembering Hao Guangming's teaching that "rare things are more expensive", he kept [-] bottles and didn't sell them anymore. Instead, he continued to sell electronic watches.

There are several reasons why Hao Guangming regards electronic watches as the second largest commodity after medicines.

One is because this thing is cheap and easy to wholesale in later generations.

The second is because electronic watches are really rare for the rich in the Ming Dynasty.

The third is to help Aunt Zhu promote the 24-hour system and open up the market for Daming No. [-] Watch Factory in the future.

It can be said that it serves multiple purposes.

Lu Jiude, an electronic watch, also brought 50 of them. It may be that the wealthy people in Suzhou were really squeezed out. Only 30 of them were auctioned this time, and they got [-] shimi.

Seeing that the three big boxes and one small box in the gazebo were opened, although they couldn't see what was inside the boxes, all the wealthy people in Suzhou were thinking: All the treasures brought by Mr. Lu should be sold out, right?
Even if there is still, everyone can't buy it anymore. The food that they took out earlier has indeed reached the limit of their ability.

Unexpectedly, Ming Shilan took out three solar-powered table lamps and a solar-powered floor lamp from the last box.

I saw that the solar floor lamp was unfolded to a height of two meters, and the light bulb on it was as big as a sea bowl. When turned on, it looked like a small sun!

Suddenly, many rich people regretted it.

"With such a good lamp, why didn't you take it out sooner? If it's earlier, I'll buy it no matter what!"

"Compared with this floor lamp, the brilliance of that table lamp is like the bright moon to the sun."

"Hey, I'm afraid the starting price of this floor lamp is hundreds of thousands of stone meters. Who else can afford it now? I don't know what this Eunuch Lu thinks."

"···"

While the rich and powerful were discussing, Lu Jiude's loud voice came from the gazebo.

"Everyone, three solar desk lamps will be auctioned together, with a starting price of 100 million taels of silver!
As for this floor lamp, it is the finale treasure of this auction, with a starting price of 200 million taels of silver! "

The rich people were taken aback when they heard this, and then they were extremely excited, even cheering regardless of their status.

"Can you use silver this time?"

"That's great, it's long overdue!"

"It's much more convenient to buy it with silver."

"Haha, our Qian family has nothing but a lot of money..."

Immediately, hundreds of rich people in Suzhou began to bid enthusiastically.

During this process, Lu Jiude and Ming Shilan had smiles on their lips—if they found that the rich people in Suzhou had insufficient food, it was also taught by Hao Guangming to replace rice with silver.

Because Hao Guangming knew that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although the silver flowing into Ming Dynasty suddenly decreased due to the changes and wars in the Western Great Voyage, so that the silver flowing into the market dropped sharply during the years of Tianqi and Chongzhen, it did not mean that Ming Dynasty lacked silver.

As a precious metal, silver itself does not decrease for no reason.

Since the beginning of the great voyage, western countries have let a lot of silver flow into Daming through trade.

However, only a small part of these silvers circulated in the market, and most of them were hidden by gentry, landlords, and local tyrants.

For example, the silver winter melons hidden in the homes of many rich people and landlords, the kind that one or two people can't hold.

Although Auntie Zhu is not short of money now, all the "treasures" have been brought to Suzhou by Lu Jiude and others. Of course, she has to take some silver from the rich man's treasury in Suzhou by the way...
"The Fan family in Changshu offered 600 million taels. Has anyone else offered a higher price?"

When the floor lamp was being auctioned off, Lu Jiude, the eunuch, also became excited—600 million taels, even in the days of Lord Chongzhen, a big eunuch like him probably couldn't get it in his entire life.

These rich men in Suzhou are so fucking rich, even the eunuch was shocked.

"600 million two times! 600 million two times! 600 million two times!!"

boom!
Lu Jiude tapped the small copper hammer in his hand.

"Deal!! Congratulations to the Fan family in Changshu for taking the photo of the solar floor lamp!!"

Lu Jiude smiled all over his face, and Ming Shilan beside him was also quite happy.

So far, the auction is over, and they have sold a total of 880 million taels of silver! 217 million shimi! !
