Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 21: Chapter 21

In a blink of an eye, the day of the Anleju auction meeting arrived.

Since letting go of the comics, Zuo Ming has relaxed a lot. On this day, on a whim, he turned out to be an auction master of ceremonies.

"Gentlemen, ladies, young and old, good afternoon! Today, I, Anleju, are very honored to hold the first auction of Chang'an and even the entire Tang Dynasty here!

Presumably, everyone has heard about the relics of the Sui Dynasty.I can tell you responsibly that all this is true!Some time ago, the royal family indeed found a treasure house of the Sui Dynasty.However, there is not much gold and silver in it, and some of them are these things!And there are more than 3000 pieces! "

As he spoke, Zuo Ming stretched out his hand and lifted the big red curtain in the copper plate held by the maid beside him, revealing a colorful glazed toad.

Seeing the toad, everyone was amazed. Although it was small in size, it exuded bursts of brilliance in the well-shaded theater.Although it was only the fluorescent powder made by Zuo Ming that worked, how could the group of mountain guns understand this, they only thought it was a rare treasure.

Of course, more people still noticed another sentence of Zuo Ming, that is, there are three thousand treasures like this!

Three thousand pieces!What is that concept?There are only more than 1000 or [-] people here, that is to say, if no one bids, they can buy at least one glass product here!
For a while, many wealthy businessmen and nobles who knew each other looked at each other with flickering expressions.

Zuo Ming naturally knew what they were thinking, so he smiled coldly in his heart, but said calmly, "Now that everyone has seen the things, I won't repeat myself. The first auction item is this A seven-color glazed toad, the base price is [-] guan, and each bid must not be less than [-] guan! After each offer, I will repeat it three times. If no one raises the price after three times, then this treasure will go to the last bidder. !"

Five hundred guan, for such a high-quality glazed product, it is definitely a very low price.However, with such a price, after Zuo Ming's voice fell, there was a brief silence.

Although not long after, someone tentatively called out a reserve price, but after that, no one made a move.

And Zuo Ming glanced over, and many people had a mocking smile in their eyes.

In the luxurious box on the second floor, Li Shimin frowned deeply, "I thought he could come up with some good solution! It seems that this so-called auction doesn't have much effect!"

Like Li Shimin, the eldest grandson Wugou was also worried, "Oh! Yes! Three thousand pieces of glazed products are really too many. It would be great if there were more seats in Anleju. Unfortunately, the current Anleju It can only accommodate more than 1000 people at most. But speaking of it, the entrance fee is actually a big profit for that fellow Zuo Ming.”

"Hmph! The entrance fee of [-] guan per person, what did you say that you just want to test the financial strength of the entrants. If you don't spend it afterwards, the original amount will be refunded! This is only what he can think of. Let people Let Qingque stay away from him after spending unjustly money and still be full of happiness, don’t be sold and count the money for him.”

Li Shimin couldn't sell the glaze, so Li Shimin was naturally in a bad mood, and his tone became eccentric.

Regarding this, Changsun Wugou only smiled faintly, "Yes! This kid has a great grasp of human nature, it seems that all human weaknesses can be used by him, but this time, he seems to have miscalculated."

Having said that, both of them fell into silence and looked down.

After all, Zuo Ming still smiled and shouted out the five hundred guan for the third time, and then made a final decision and sent the glazed toad out.Empress Changsun and Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Li Shimin has now closed his eyes, and he has no intention of watching the next auction.

However, at this moment, a soft sound suddenly sounded from the silent venue.

When I saw it, it turned out that the maid accidentally smashed the glass toad to pieces when delivering it.

At that time, the maid turned pale and began to cry.And the winner of the toad, as if his heart was broken, began to curse viciously.

Seeing this situation, Zuo Ming naturally apologized to him instead of the maid, and promised to pay back double.

The maid originally thought that the sky was falling, but Zuo Ming didn't blame her, and even helped her double compensate the buyer, so she was full of joy and gratitude at that time.

However, she was overjoyed, but the buyer's face turned like a pig's liver.

For 1000 taels of silver, will you exchange me for a colorful toad?Did Nima say it was double compensation?This toad is worth at least ten thousand coins, okay?
However, even if he was unwilling in his heart now, he couldn't say anything more.After all, he was the toad he bought for [-] guan in full view.If he dared to demand [-] yuan in compensation from Zuo Ming, Zuo Ming would definitely sue him for extortion.

After this episode, the second auction item was brought up.

It was a beautifully crafted glazed butterfly hairpin, which immediately caught the eyes of Changsun Wugou as soon as it came up.

"Ah! Such a beautiful hairpin!"

This kind of thing is definitely a big weapon against women!
Seeing that the queen lost her composure because of a hairpin, Li Shimin smiled lightly, and then said proudly, "Guanyin servant girl likes it, I will buy it for you later!"

Since she came to the throne, the queen has always managed the family with diligence and thrift, and has been advising him to refrain from extravagance, so he hasn't given her a gift for a long time.Right now, it would not cost a lot of money to take pictures of that hairpin, and secondly, it could boost the enthusiasm of the auction, so he naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.

The eldest grandson Wugou naturally knew Li Shimin's intentions, and his heart was sweet at that time, as if he had eaten honey.

However, just when their concubine was interested, Zuo Ming on the stage made a move that made everyone unimaginable and even dumbfounded!
——That guy actually grabbed the hairpin, then slapped it and threw it to the ground.

After throwing it away, he waved his hand at the people behind without even looking at it, "Throw away the small ones. Few people want them, and they can't be sold for a lot of money, so I won't waste the time of all the distinguished guests! "

"Bastard!" Li Shimin stood up angrily.If it wasn't too far away from Zuo Ming, I'm afraid I would pick up the boots and throw them over immediately.

However, Li Shimin was angry, but Changsun Wugou laughed lightly, "I knew this guy must have a conspiracy! He is really good at it! Such a beautiful hairpin was smashed to pieces just like that."

Changsun Wugou seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually explaining to Li Shimin.

After hearing this, Li Shimin calmed down instantly.

He is also a smart person, how can he not understand Zuo Ming's intention at this time?It's nothing more than a rare commodity to live in!

Didn't you guys not buy the first auction item?Very good, I will now treat you as not interested in the little ones and smash them all!I won't sell it anymore, let's see how you can take advantage of me!
After smashing it, there must not be much left!If you don't bid again, just wait and return empty-handed!
It has to be said that he is the only one who can deal with this ruthless hand in the entire Tang Dynasty now.Even Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, who already knew the real cost of Liuli, couldn't do that.

After all, the values ​​that have been cultivated for a long time are there, and it is not so easy to surpass them.

Zuo Ming did it thoroughly, not long after, the sound of breaking glass was heard behind the scenes, which made all the wealthy businessmen and nobles feel pained.

The most hateful thing was that when the second glazed product was brought up, the guy actually looked at it, said "it's too small" and threw it on the ground again.

Immediately, countless wealthy people flocked to stand up, "Mr. Zuo, slow down! It's not too small! It's not too small! It's already very big!"

"Yeah! Yeah! Stop smashing it! We're definitely going to buy these! Don't smash it! Ouch—"

Before the rich man could finish his sentence, Zuo Ming had already thrown the third glazed product on the ground, so he had to cover his face in pain.

"Oops! Sorry, my hand slipped!"

Pretending to be a pity, Zuo Ming smiled.

He smiled brightly, but everyone felt a boundless darkness.

This guy hates it too much, just to bring the price of colored glaze back to the original level, he smashed the treasure worth hundreds of thousands of pennies, they have never seen such a ruthless one!

They really want to ask loudly, "Don't you fucking feel bad?"
