Chapter 460;
Li Yu saw that the hundreds of people in the yard were almost discussing, so he picked up the gong and hit it, and there was a crisp bang, followed by a lingering sound.

"My elders, I am now selling the right to sell the location of Tianzi No. [-] in Chang'an City, starting from the northeast corner, taking Zhuque Street as the watershed, going south to the north wall of Kaihua Square, the north wall of Chongyi Square, the north wall of Yiyang Square, Dongshi The north wall ends at the north wall of Changlefang.

This Tianzi No. 12 location has the favorable location in Dongshi, and Pingkang Square is so cheap that you spend a lot of money every day. It is a good location. The starting price is [-] guan. I don't make accurate numbers for the following, but this is a big deal passed on to future generations. Well, it's on sale now, and the one with the highest price will get it. "

After Li Yu finished speaking, the group of people in the upper house all looked outside attentively, but the scene was not as scrambling as everyone expected.

Those old men at the front of the yard looked at me and I looked at you. No one spoke for a long time. Li Shimin remained calm on the surface, and his head was already sweating anxiously.

A group of generals clenched their fists tightly, as nervous as if they were about to fight in battle.

Li Yu was also in a hurry and couldn't stand in the cold, so he hurriedly said to Xiao Tong on the left;

"Brother, when you came to Chang'an the day before yesterday, we went to Pingkangfang to check the pavilions in the alleys in Pingkangfang to see if there was Wuliangye for the distinguished guests. Brother, do you still remember the day before yesterday?" Is it a matter?"

Who is Xiao Tong?That was the direct descendant of Xiao He, the great prime minister of the Han Dynasty. His head was very empty. He knew that those who could afford it would sit in the first two rows without raising their voices, so he said calmly;

"Brother Yu certainly remembers that the two of us visited more than 30 courtyards in a row, and Wuliangye was sold in every courtyard.

Not only that, but there are also immortals who sell them drunk, but the price is a bit more expensive than those sold in wine shops outside, but the imperial court only sets the price uniformly for all wine shops in the world, as for the various courtyards in Pingkang Fang who want to sell them. How much money, Brother Yu thinks we don't have to meddle in our own business. "

"What elder brother said is true. Although the price is a little bit more expensive, my younger brother thinks that the business is still booming. It seems that the distinguished guests who go to eat flower wine don't care about the extra three hundred and five hundred dollars.

Unexpectedly, my younger brother was ordered to make wine, but he came to complete the alleys of hundreds of rouge and gouache, he really unintentionally planted willows and willows to make shade, and the business of those hundreds of courtyards to serve is booming..."

Li Yu's voice was not too loud, and he deliberately lowered his voice, but when the audience was calm and silent, they could still be heard clearly.

Li Yu repeatedly chanted about hundreds of brothel yards twice, and finally someone couldn't help it anymore, and an old man stretched out a hand;

"I, Boling Cui's big house, paid 13 yuan on behalf of Boling Cui."

As soon as these words came out, the neat and orderly strengths of the monarchs and ministers in the upper house let out a foul breath, and many people began to wipe their sweat, even Li Shimin was no exception, Yu Chigong said in a low voice while wiping his sweat;

"My mother, someone finally paid for it."

"The big house of the Zheng family in Xingyang contributed 14 yuan on behalf of my Zheng family."

Following Zheng's voice, Cui Yueping, the representative of the Cui family's big house in Qinghe, couldn't help it anymore;
"Qinghe Cui's 15."

The patriarch of the Zheng family in Xingyang who paid 14 guan just now said calmly;
"I, Mr. Zheng, bid 20 guan."

Yu Chigong, who was in the room, began to wipe his sweat again, muttering softly;

"Your Majesty, didn't Li Dalang say that the price would increase by one thousand guan each time? Why didn't you bid the price according to what Li Dalang said? Your Majesty, do you know who this old man is? He is so arrogant that he offered 20 at a time."

Li Shimin's mood was called out with the 20, the best couldn't be better, He Ai, who was extremely happy, would explain in a low voice;
"This is the largest clan in the central plains of Henan Province, Zheng Youren, the patriarch of the Zheng family in Xingyang. This old man is a very powerful person.

He used to be a first-rank member of the real power faction in the previous dynasty. Their Zheng family is an extremely powerful family in the Central Plains, and their wealth is scary.

Jing Demo is going to care about how they bid, you are a general who is good at fighting in battle, how can you figure out the minds of these people? "

"That's right, how can I understand the fancy-headedness of these people? If I were to be a minister, I would definitely add one thousand and one thousand. What a waste of money..."

Before Yu Chigong finished speaking, Li Jing pulled Yu Chigong's shirt from the back. Yuchigong Niutou saw that the old commander shook his head at him, and Yuchigong was not a fool. He immediately realized that this was to accumulate money for His Majesty. Well, so I hasten to add;
"Whatever the hell you call it, it's better to call it 30, Your Majesty, don't you think so?"

Li Shimin nodded and smiled without saying a word, Yu Chigong was worried that he was going to say the wrong thing again, so he hurriedly squeezed out of the room, giving up the seat by the window.

"My Boling Cui family is 21."

Cui Yueping of the Qinghe Cui family also called out immediately;
"Qinghe Cui's 22 guan."

This time the calm old man stretched out his hand again;
"Zheng's 25."

Cui Yueping immediately followed up;
"Qinghe Cui's 26."

A little old man of the Boling Cui clan finally spoke;

"Second brother, don't add little by little, lest the Zheng family brother look at us ugly."

"It's big brother."

The old man who had been bidding on behalf of the Boling Cui family stretched out three fingers;
"30."

The whole audience calmed down, and those small doormen on both sides began to wipe the sweat from their heads. Today, I finally gained some insight. My family is considered a big family in the local area, but I can't afford this amount of money. Silk, what a fucking thrill...

"My Qinghe Cui family is 31."

Cui Yueping of the Qinghe Cui family immediately added [-] without even thinking about it. This amount does not need to be approved by the patriarch at all, and he doesn't take it seriously, let alone mentioned it three times in the letter of the elder brother.
Liquor trading is a trivial matter, the most important thing is to support the new emperor and preserve the foundation for the Cui family of Qinghe. This is the most important thing.

Eldest brother has insight into everything and is sure that this ruthless emperor who dared to kill his brothers and his family will not follow the old path of previous dynasties,
Eldest brother has said many times that the emperor will definitely make a move. It will be too late when he makes a move. Cui Yueping admires his elder brother the most in his life.

And this time the eldest brother prepared two assets in the treasury for himself to honor the royal family of the new dynasty.However, Cui Yueping has always been safe and doesn't like publicity, so he only added [-] guan.

The little old man didn't wait for the chief of the Zheng family to increase the price this time, and directly reminded him;
"Second brother, it's your turn again."

"Yeah, I got it, big brother, the Cui family of Boling has 40 guan."

This time the audience was quiet, and Li Yu didn't avoid anyone, exaggeratingly took a large cloth towel and wiped his forehead, expressing that he was frightened by the amount.

The group of generals in the upper room were all panting like old cows, Li Shimin didn't turn his head, listening to the heavy breathing of his subordinates,
There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, apparently in a very happy mood, Changsun Wuji finally couldn't help but speak;

"Your Majesty, this number is almost enough to build the Yicang."

"Well, I know in my heart that most of the officials from the Cui family in Boling are okay. This old patriarch still has the temper of 20 years ago, and he never showed up. Everything is the elder of the Cui family in Boling. He My second brother came out to deal with everything."

The calm old man stretched out his hand again;

"The Zheng family in Xingyang is 45."

"Qinghe Cui's 46."

"The Cui family of Boling is 50."

"My Zheng family paid 55 yuan."

This time Cui Yueping was also generous;
"Qinghe Cui's 60 guan."

The elder of the Boling Cui clan turned his head and glanced at Cui Yueping;

"Nephew, you don't feel sorry for how much money your elder brother gave you? Before coming here, the old man went to your lair to see your elder brother. I heard that he gave you a lot, but you can't waste it casually, right?"

"Thank you uncle for reminding me. My nephew knows it well. This is the bottom line of our Qinghe Cui family. It is better to have a good time than to increase it one time at a time. If my uncle continues with the head of the Zheng family, it is not impossible for my nephew to let it out. "

The old man looked at the chief of the Zheng family again, and bowed his hands in salute;

"Brother Zheng, my younger brother is being polite."

"It's easy to say, Brother Yu is paying back the courtesy here, there are too many people here, Brother Yu will not get up, I hope Brother Yu will not blame you."

It doesn't matter, Brother Zheng, your Zheng family's business is mostly in the West Market, and I would like to ask Brother Zheng to make it easier, I am very grateful. "

The calm old man of the Zheng family thought carefully for a while before taking an unprecedented step back.

"It's easy to say, our Xingyang Zheng's bid is another 70. If someone raises the price again, we will not bid. After all, our Xingyang Zheng's business is in the West Market, and it seems really uncomfortable to move the business to the Dong's." It's very convenient, forget it, listen to people's advice, and I will listen to people's advice once I have enough food."

The elder of the rich family of the Cui family in Boling respectfully hugged his fist as a thank you to the Zheng family for withdrawing, then turned around and said loudly;
"80. I, Boling Cui, offer 80 guan. If you brothers don't bid anymore, Mr. Li Xianbo, please hit the gong."

Li Yu nodded, picked up the gong and began to speak;
"Boling Cui bought the right to sell baijiu in Tianzi No. 80 area, and offered [-] guan. If no one raises the price, the gong will be knocked here?
80 once, 80 twice, no one has raised the price yet? 80 times, bang...

The right to sell liquor in the Tianzi No. [-] area will forever belong to the Boling Cui family from now on. Please send someone from the nobles to sign and draw a deposit, and bring the money and silk to the household department within three days to handle the relevant contract documents. "

As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, the rich elder of the Boling Cui family who was in charge of asking prices immediately got up and walked over, sat opposite Xiao Tong, and began to sign on the rice paper prepared in advance to go through the relevant procedures.

Li Yu looked at many small doors in the courtyard and was shocked when they heard the auction price was 80. Li Yu was very proud of the strategy he came up with.

"Next, let's auction Tianzi No. 12 area, south of the back wall of Dongshi, east of Zhuque Street. The starting price is [-] guan. If you are interested, please start to increase the price."

This time the calm old man glanced at Cui Yueping and spoke calmly;
"I, Mrs. Zheng, offer 15."

The boss of the Boling Cui family was busy signing and making a pledge, so no one asked for a price from the Boling Cui family, and Cui Yueping immediately entered the fighting mode;
"Qinghe Cui's 50."

The Taiyuan Wang family came to the third house, but no one came from the big house, and the three houses had no leaders. They wanted to fight for it. Seeing that Cui Yueping added 50 in one breath, the patriarch of the fourth house did not Talking, bowing his head and thinking about something, the patriarchs of seven or eight rooms on the other side gathered together and muttered, but they didn't know what they were talking about.

"The Zheng family of Xingyang paid 55 yuan."

"Qinghe Cui's 60."

"My Zheng family in Xingyang paid 65 yuan."

"Qinghe Cui's 70."

"The Zheng family of Xingyang has 75 guan."

Cui Yueping was in place in one breath;

"Qinghe Cui's bid is 81 guan."

This time the calm old man still looked calm, but he stopped talking and closed his eyes.

The scene immediately calmed down, Li Yu could only pick up the gong and asked three times;
"Chang'an City's Tianzi No. 81 site, Qinghe Cui's bid is [-] guan, is there any one who wants to raise the price, if no one raises the price, then the gong will be knocked?

One time for 81, two times for 81, three times for 81, it's a deal, bang..."

After calling several times but still no one spoke, Li Yu had no choice but to beat the gong to confirm the management right of Tianzi No. [-] site. Cui Yueping strode forward and sat in front of Xiao Tong. place, also began to sign the pledge.

The group of people in the upper house were already dumbfounded, and Niu Jinda stood still as if in sedation, only muttering to himself;
"God, just over 160 million coins have come in? Did my old cow hear something wrong?"

Li Ji joked;
"Brother Jinda, I'm afraid you heard it wrong. Just these two places can make more than 100 million yuan?"

"Oh, Li Shilang, don't come and laugh at me. Today, I, Lao Niu, have learned a lot. I think back when we fought with His Majesty,
After three or four months of fighting with all my strength, I finally won a family against the king, and it was only this number. I didn't expect that I could get these numbers in less than half an hour. Open your eyes once! "

Du Ruhui said directly to Changsun Wuji;

"Changsun Shangshu, the number of righteous warehouses you want is enough, and there are 10,000+ guns more, but it's finally the turn of our sixteen guards."

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes with a smile;

"Enough is enough. From tomorrow onwards, I won't be urged by my acquaintances in various yamen anymore. Alas... I don't want to renege on my debts. Who doesn't want to deal with things generously, but the situation doesn't allow it."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile;
"You don't have to worry about this time, dear brother. It should be the turn of the son of the sixteen guards. Please ask the eldest grandson Shangshu to help you."

"Don't worry, the two servants. This time, the sons of the Sixteenth Guards should really change their armor and weapons. The younger brother will fully support it, but we have to save some for the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, so don't eat them all."

Du Ruhui was very happy with a smile. He had never felt so happy and enthusiastic. His biggest dream in the past ten years was to equip all the troops of the sixteen guards with all their might. Let's see how powerful they are.

Thinking about it, it must be much stronger than before, but Du Ruhui knew very well in his heart, this is just a dream!
As long as the world is a little more peaceful, no emperor will be poor and silent. Since ancient times, the cost of soldiers has been a bottomless pit. Emperors of all dynasties have deliberately avoided this topic.

It's not that they don't want to be strong, but that they really can't afford to wear and tear. Just look at Emperor Wu of Han who once equipped all the troops neatly.

Although the imperial court is strong and the Han people are proud, the whole world has also been ruined, and people are wearing tattered clothes and famines everywhere. How many people died of starvation?
But ever since Li Yu's appearance, especially in the past few months when he made liquor, Du Ruhui's long-dead heart has been revived again!

Du Ruhui has been looking forward to this moment. He has a vague feeling that maybe Li Dalang, who is as clever as a ghost, can help him fulfill his dream, or even do better.

Sure enough, Li Dalang lived up to his expectations. He sang all the way at the beginning of today. He only sold the right to sell baijiu for two places, and he immediately made up enough for the righteous warehouse in the world.

As long as the important matter of the Yicang is handled well, His Majesty will have no excuse to shirk the rest of the proceeds. The son of Sixteen Guards finally has hope...
