Chapter 319

"Presumably this is Uncle Zhong's family!"

Li Yuanwai saw Zhong Jiuling and others walking in, stood up, and cupped his hands at Zhong Zhengxing.

Zhong Zhengxing also cupped his hands, "Mr. Li, I have known you for a long time."

After exchanging polite greetings, the two parties sat down one after another.

A quarter of an hour later, the first shop address auction hosted by Tong Yisheng began...

This time, the auctions were all shops near the canal wharf, with the highest commercial value, so Tong Yisheng's reserve price was also high. Extending from the main road in the center to both sides in turn, the value of the shops decreased in turn.

So the first ones to be put up for auction were the shops on both sides.

Zhong Zhengxing and Li Yuanwai valued the shops close to the main road of the center, so they did not participate in the auction at the beginning.

However, Landlord Li made frequent moves. When it was finally his turn to shop near the main road in the center, he had successfully obtained the addresses of four shops.

"Father, you can start now. Next, you must not be reluctant to part with the money." Zhong Jiuling joked playfully.

Zhong Zhengxing, who was a little nervous at first, became less nervous when she said this, "You are just kidding me. But don't worry, Dad came prepared this time."

Here, just as the father and daughter finished their words, Tong Yisheng said solemnly, "Okay, the next auction is the address of the No. 35 shop in the first district on the left. The starting price is 800 taels, and each bid must not be lower than 100 taels. Now the auction begins."

Almost as soon as Tong Yisheng finished speaking, someone held up a sign and said, "2000 taels."

"Two thousand five hundred taels."

"Two thousand five hundred taels."

……

"Three thousand five hundred taels!"

"Three thousand five hundred taels!"

At the end of the bidding, there were only a few with strong financial resources left, and Zhong Zhengxing and Tong Wenfeng were among them.

Zhong Zhengbei, who was sitting next to Zhong Zhengxing, felt dizzy when he heard these numbers, and his brow was sweating in the cold weather. He suddenly admired his elder brother and niece for being able to cope with such a situation. .

"4000 taels!" Zhong Zhengxing's voice suddenly became louder.

Seeing this, Tong Wenfeng shrugged and decided not to argue with his uncle.

But the others knew that Zhong Zhengxing was Tong Yisheng's son-in-law, and might be the father-in-law of His Royal Highness Zhanwang in the future, so they hesitated for a while and decided to let go, anyway, there were three better shops behind.

In this way, Zhong Zhengxing finally got a very good shop at a price of 4000 taels.

He smiled and looked at his daughter, "How is Lingling? Are you satisfied with this shop?"

"Well, Daddy is great!" Zhong Jiuling gave a thumbs up without hesitation.

One morning, the address of the shop near the canal was completely auctioned off, and finally raised a full 20 taels of silver, which made Tong Yisheng very happy.

In the afternoon of that day, the auction was for the addresses of other shops in the left and right districts.

Because the number of shop addresses is twice that of the morning, although the price is lower, it also raised 30 taels of silver.

In just one day, just for the addresses of shops in two districts, the total amount of auction funds was as high as 50 taels of silver. Tong Yisheng was so happy that he almost cried while hugging Mu Xiuning, "His Royal Highness, good job. This After a while, our new county is finally not short of money."

But Mu Xiuning looked at Zhong Jiuling tenderly, "Old Tong, in fact, Lingling's contribution is even greater, she provided many useful suggestions."
