King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 233 Listen to me and thank you...

Ok?
What the hell?
Calculate, figure out people's hearts, these words, are you sure they are used for praise and praise?
These bastards are deliberately disgusting, right?
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes at everyone in front of him. He didn't bother to pay attention to these rude bastards. He picked up the hot tea and drank it leisurely.

Xia Yuanji and others on the side felt the change in Zhu Gaoxu's attitude, and instantly realized that it seemed that the words they used just now were somewhat inappropriate.

His old face could not help but turn slightly red, and he pretended to explain a few words aloud.

In response, Zhu Gaoxu shrugged, waved his hands to everyone to stop, and then looked at the auction place below.

At the same time, in the hall, the voice of Ji Gang, who was responsible for presiding over the auction, sounded again:
"No whispering or making loud noises during the entire process, otherwise it will be deemed as giving up the qualification for the auction, and the deposit paid will not be refunded."

"As for who successfully bids, the list will be released in two days and the list will be announced."

"Those on the list only need to prepare the agency fee. As for the refined salt from the area you are selling, it will be delivered by the court as soon as possible."

Having said this, Ji Gang paused and couldn't help but look at the box on the second floor. Then he looked back at the auction merchants in front of him, with a meaningful smile on his face and said:

"I am here to give you a friendly reminder. I hope everyone will act according to each other's ability."

It's literally killing me.

Jia Shang: "???????"

All the merchants, who could be said to be the eighteenth generation of Ji Gang's ancestors, greeted him cordially and hated him so much that they gritted their teeth.

And even if everyone was aware of Ji Gang's purpose, they knew that this was a deliberate attempt to break up their alliance in order to allow them to drive up prices.

Thank you very much for your kindness.

"Although the imperial court has not limited the number of areas that you can bid for in this auction, once the auction is completed, the area agency fee must be paid, and it must be paid when the list is released."

Are you sure this is really a so-called well-intentioned reminder, and not a deliberate attempt to lay a trap for everyone?
Didn't you see that just now because of the "secret shooting" incident, the atmosphere in the entire venue has changed, and the smell of gunpowder has become stronger?
The result was amazing. Just now, everyone made eye contact and finally calmed down their restless emotions. Their suspicions and suspicions were instantly shattered by this so-called 'kind reminder'.

Not the usual insidious and ruthless one.

boom.
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunder exploding in everyone's ears.

"So when you bid, you have to think carefully about how much area you can occupy based on your strength."

Faced with this kind of business that is sure to make money without losing money, and the profits are so considerable, who is willing to give up, who is willing to hand over such a good opportunity to others?

Many people's faces suddenly changed wildly, and their expressions couldn't help but become solemn.

As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts!

Doesn't this force them to fight and rob?
The problem is that they can't find any reason for this so-called white lie.

This bastard is just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

It’s so heartbreaking!

"Otherwise, you will have to pay liquidated damages according to the standard."

A complete conspiracy.

But it also left them with no way to deal with it.

The atmosphere in the venue unconsciously became depressed and solemn.

For a long time, no one took the lead in writing. Everyone had their brows furrowed, their expressions full of entanglement, thinking, and weighing.

I do not know how long it has been. Finally someone couldn't sit still anymore and started to write with ink.

If there is one, there are two. As the sound of ringing sounds, many people also join the ranks and write down the numbers and places they like on paper.

The auction, which could have ended in half an hour at most, was abruptly delayed to two hours by the merchants present.

It was obviously a mild day, neither hot nor cold, but after the auction ended, the clothes of the merchants who participated in the auction were already wet without knowing it, as if they had been fished out of the water.

When Ji Gang collected all the envelopes, he announced that the auction was over.

The originally calm, quiet, and solemn atmosphere in the venue suddenly became lively and noisy.

Businessmen and wealthy businessmen gathered together in twos and threes, and acquaintances gathered together, chatting and talking, beating around the bush, trying to get information from others, hoping to determine whether they had any hope of winning the bid.

But we are all old foxes, and we all know each other's purpose and intentions.

Although they all had faint smiles on their faces when chatting and discussing, they could also feel that there was no longer any intimacy between them, and instead, their words were filled with heavy suspicion and vigilance. , questioning, guarding, and suspicion.

Although they all reported the prices written by each other, no one dared to believe the truth or falsehood easily.

After a brief chat, everyone seemed to have lost interest in getting together, and many people turned around and left.

When they arrived, they were in groups, but after the auction, almost everyone left alone, and no one was interested in going with others.

Although no one said anything, everyone understood it.

In the private room on the second floor.

Xia Yuanji and others who were standing in front of the window, observing every move below, saw the situation in front of them. The expressions on their faces couldn't help but change, and the eyes that turned towards Zhu Gaojiu couldn't help but shrink.

dong dong dong.
Just at this moment, there was a crisp knock on the door, and the closed door was gently pushed open. Ji Gang, the protagonist in charge of the auction, walked in from the door with a wooden box in his arms, and saw the man who was leisurely drinking tea. Zhu Gaoxu, greetings:
"I see you, Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu smiled noncommittally, waved his hand at him, and said:
"okay."

"Don't be so formal. You've been busy and working hard these days. Put your things down and go home to rest."

After receiving the order, Ji Gang placed the wooden box in his hand on the ground and bowed to Zhu Gaoxu:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for caring."

"My minister retire."

Say it.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and walked away quickly.

When the door was closed again, Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked at the ministers in front of him. Finally, his eyes fell on Xia Yuanji and said in a deep voice:
"okay!"

"You guys should stop complimenting each other."

As he spoke, he pointed to the letter in the wooden box in front of him and continued:
"The list will be released the day after tomorrow. The quotations of the participating merchants must be sorted and sorted today."

"Then I will report it to His Majesty for review."

"So everyone, hurry up and take action!"

"We don't have much time left..."
