Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 462; Unexpected

Chapter 460: Unexpected
Li Yu was about to strike the gong when he heard that there was still a price increase, so he quickly re-determined;
"The third house of the Wang family in Taiyuan has increased the price by 55 guan. Is there any elder who wants to increase the price? If no one raises the price, it will be a gong?
"Well, it seems that no one has added more, 55 once, 55 twice, 55 three times, bang... Congratulations to the old patriarch Wang for obtaining the management rights of the southern half of Luoyang City and the eastern half. Arrange for people to come and sign the pledge."

Although the patriarchs of Wang's seven or eight families offered a good price, at least you got a piece, didn't you? The two of them smiled and sat down side by side in front of Xiao Tong. Both of them let out a long sigh of relief. Under the command of Xiao Tong, he signed and pledged.

Li Yu yelled and shouted to auction off the last piece of land in Luoyang City. This will be the last piece of land left. Everyone didn't have to think about it. Instead, they all started to participate. The distribution of houses among the major families began to compete fiercely.

After a lot of competition, it was settled in Qinghe Cui's second house at a price of 61 yuan. The patriarch of the second house turned blue with anger, and came to the front to sign the pledge.

When walking on the road, he gave Boling Cui's third bedroom and Fanyang Lu's second bedroom a few hard glances, his eyes wished he could eat the patriarchs of these two families!
His plan was exhausted, so he won 55 and the same amount as the seventh house of the Wang family in Taiyuan. Who knew that the third house of the Cui family in Boling and the second house of the Lu family in Fanyang were clenching their hands tightly and would not let go.
He had no choice but to call 61 guan in the end. Only then did he securely win the quarter of the land in the southwest corner of Luoyang City. How can he not be annoyed that he has added [-] guan more money to his teeth?
"Elder elders, young and old, I am really thirsty, and I want to take a short rest, please don't worry, let me catch my breath and let's proceed with the sale of the management rights.

Everyone keep their hearts in their stomachs, anyway, today we will sell all ten provinces in the world, 720 state capitals, and [-] counties after subtracting important border areas and remote areas. It's rude!Please forgive me one or two. "

Hundreds of people in the yard, and wealthy households from all over the country all said that it was okay, and it would not be too late to ask Li Yu to rest for a while before presiding over the overall situation. Many people said that they came with dry food today, and they can eat it when they have free time A pancake to satisfy one's hunger.

Li Yu gulped down a bowl of water brought by his servants in one gulp, and sat in the Taishi chair to rest. It would be a lie to say that this kind of hard work is not tiring.

He kept yelling from 08:30 in the morning until almost [-]:[-] noon. He was really tired. Before he could sit down for a while, Qian Dehai, the head servant next to Zhizun, came to Li Yu, leaned down and whispered for a while, and then left .

Everyone in the yard could see clearly, people who didn't know Qian Dehai all inquired who this person was, and only after inquiring did they know his real identity.
They all suddenly realized that they were more sure that the people in the room at the back were His Majesty the Ninth Five-Year Emperor and his civil and military ministers, and everyone who was sure that His Majesty was in this courtyard seemed to know it better. They began to whisper to each other, and what they whispered was nothing more than more reassuring words.

After Qian Dehai left, Li Yu took a closer look at the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang family's fourth house, and was filled with admiration. It turned out that this lunatic old man didn't increase the price indiscriminately, but came to help His Majesty the Emperor again.

Li Yu, who had enough rest, also ate a meat pie for a while, and then ate a bowl of hot water, and then stood up again.

"It's extremely impolite to bother you elders. I think there are still many things to do, so I don't dare to delay too long. Let's start quickly."

After saying a few opening words, Li Yu picked up the booklet on the table again and read carefully;

"The next thing to be auctioned is Kaifeng Mansion, the largest county town in Henan Province within ten miles of the world. The starting price is [-] guan. Elders who are interested in this place can increase the price. Each increase should not be less than [-] guan."

This time is the opportunity for the Zheng family of Xingyang to show their strength. The Zheng family of Xingyang is the largest family in the entire Henan province. There are also other families who have raised the price twice symbolically. It fell into the hands of Mr. Zheng's family in Xingyang.

The younger brother of the great patriarch of the Zheng family happily walked up to sign the pledge again, but did not leave after finishing it, and just stood aside and waited with a smile. It seems that in Zheng's plan, he still has to fight for many sites Yes, so I don't move back and forth.

The next scene was not so intense. The largest counties in the ten kingdoms of the world were divided by the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Cui family of Boling, the Cui family of Qinghe, and the four, seven and eight houses of the Wang family of Taiyuan.

Then there are more than 100 state capitals. Don’t underestimate these 100 state capitals, but they are the backbone of spirits sales. The competition is very fierce. Zhoucheng, and the nearby Zhoucheng, originally had a starting price of [-] guan, but they all sold at the same price as Shidaojuncheng.

More than 100 aristocratic families and powerful families are all very interested in the state city of 160 to 100 guan, but they don't even blink their eyes at the amount of money of 160 to [-] guan. He was very surprised. He never expected that the sales of these [-] state cities would be so booming. After the division of more than [-] state cities, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Since more than [-] state cities needed to sign and deposit the same number of copies , Xiao Tong was sweating profusely, and here Liu Qi led two accounting masters from the warehouse department to check the numbers carefully, writing non-stop.

In front of the four tables were densely packed with old men who wanted to sign, draw and pledge. Li Yu really had no way to continue the auction, so he had to take a break for a while, hurriedly walked across the yard of the venue, and entered the room of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor to report. Condition.

Li Shimin and a group of civil and military officials in the room were very happy to see the enthusiastic registration and fierce competition. Everyone was completely relieved. Li Shimin stopped visiting by the small window, and went back to sit in the Taishi chair and drink hot water and clear tea , leisurely analyzing the surrounding situation with a group of ministers.

After Li Yu reported, the Beiya Forbidden Army inside opened the door and let him in. Li Shimin was talking to several generals;

"Pharmacist, I understand what you said, why don't I want to be ashamed, and I also want to let the sons and daughters go to the grassland, and even go to their big khan's mace!

But if you want to get rid of the evil spirit of the Weishui Alliance, the biggest difficulty is nothing more than two points, one is to change the configuration of all the soldiers and horses in the world,

The two also need to have enough money and silk to exchange for food and grass. As the saying goes, soldiers and horses go first before using food and grass. Wars are actually fighting for national strength.

To put it bluntly, it’s nothing more than fighting for who has more money. This can be realized from the situation when we first fought the world. The problem is that both of these two focuses are on money, so you want to be stubborn without money?That is absolutely impossible. "

A group of civil and military ministers all nodded in agreement, and Du Ruhui nodded solemnly;

"Your Majesty is so wise, you can see everything clearly, why don't you have no money and silk, what can you use to change all the configurations for the sons of the sixteen guards?"

Changsun Wuji also interjected at the side;
"Yes, Your Majesty is right. If there is no money, it will be extremely difficult for the army to move for thirty miles."

When everyone was shaking their heads and sighing, Li Yu walked in, walked up to the emperor with a cautious expression and bowed down;

"Meet His Majesty the Emperor."

Li Shimin looked at Li Yu in surprise;

"Get up, shouldn't you be in charge of the overall situation outside, why are you running here?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, at this moment, all the counties and cities of ten provinces in the world have been finished, and more than 160 state cities that have been put up for auction have also been robbed. More than 100 people are gathered around the table to go through the formalities of signing, painting and depositing. There is no way to continue.

So I wanted to come in and report to His Majesty and your uncles, and talk about the sales figures in these states, so that Your Majesty and your uncles may have a solid foundation, and I am not being lazy and slippery this time. "

Li Shimin and a group of ministers didn't listen to the situation outside, and they were already at ease watching the scene, so everyone didn't care at this moment, they all looked at Li Yu quietly, waiting for him to say the specific amount of money.

Li Shimin asked casually, even if one of the more than 160 state cities was sold at the starting price of 200 guan, there should be more than [-] million silver in the account, right? "

"Your Majesty, I think so too. After all, there are so many prefecture cities, and they are not as majestic as Chang'an City and Luoyang City.
It can't keep up with half the size of Luoyang City, and it can't even compare with the top ten counties in the world. I didn't expect it to be completely different. Not a single state city was sold for ten or twenty thousand silver dollars.
The competition is very fierce. Many aristocratic families and wealthy families have not acted before. After waiting for the state city to come out, indeed a lot of them responded positively. The fight was very tragic. Among them, more than a dozen states in Jiannan Road sold When it reached over a hundred thousand, I was really taken aback..."

Before Li Yu finished speaking, a group of ministers gasped, and Li Shimin even interrupted Li Yu's report directly and asked directly;
"You only said that there are more than 160 prefecture cities and ten counties in the world. We don't care about these two things. How much money and silk were sold in total?"

"It's Your Majesty, if you avoid it, the size of the top ten counties in the world is second only to Luoyang, with a total of more than 460 million guns sold,
I can't remember the exact number of ministers, so I can only give a general idea. If your majesty wants to know, you can only understand it after Liu Qi, Liu Yuan, and others have calculated it clearly. "

Speaking of this amount, a group of civil and military ministers are all smiling, this is good, there is a lot of money, the good guy has tens of millions, at least he can spend some money for the sons of the border...

Li Yu didn't stop looking at His Majesty's happy and relaxed smile and reported again;

"Your Majesty, the more than 160 prefectures sold about 37 guan. As for the specifics, it is still not clear. It is only an approximate number. It is possible that it is only a little over 800 million. After all, I just calculated roughly. Liu Yuanwai and the others It’s not finished yet, I’m afraid we won’t find out until night.”

Li Yu felt very strange that no one spoke in a very cold manner. Li Yu raised his head and looked, Li Shimin looked at Li Yu with wide-eyed eyes, took a few breaths, and Li Shimin asked in a very serious voice;
"First of all, please clarify the approximate number you calculated. How much difference can there be?"

Li Yu thought about it carefully and then said with a playful smile;

"Returning to Your Majesty, I simply calculated it. The fluctuation may not be small, maybe thirty or fifty."

Li Shimin took a deep breath, it was the first time that he didn't lose his temper when facing Li Yu's playful smile;
"The up and down error may exceed 50 guan?"

Li Yu became serious this time;
"Returning to His Majesty, 30 may be available, but it will definitely not be less than 800 million. Even if I don't worry about it, I won't be so confused. How can I talk nonsense."

A group of monarchs and ministers looked at me and I looked at you, no one spoke, Yu Chigong wiped the sweat from his head twice, leaned against the wall and gasped for breath.

Du Ruhui couldn't bear it anymore and took two steps forward;

"Your Majesty, I think..."

As soon as Du Ruhui said a few words, Li Shimin stretched out a hand to stop Du Ruhui's words, and Du Ruhui could only keep silent.

"Ai Qing needless to say, what I said just now speaks volumes, no matter how much money I get out today, only 300 million coins will be left to be used for the floods in the south and the construction of the righteous warehouse in the world.
The imperial court will leave another 100 million guns as a reserve, and the rest will be handed over to your Ministry of War for use, so don’t ask me any more.

Even if I harvested 2000 million yuan in silver today, I won't even look at it. This time, I must be ruthless and hand over the rest to Ai Qing. "

Du Ruhui smiled from ear to ear;
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is a truly wise Lord."

Li Yu was thinking in his heart that since you have said so, I'll have a good time with you;
"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to my calculations, the rest of the state capital and more than 600 counties do not need to be contested.

It can be sold directly, and the family will give them two counties. If they are all divided up today, let alone 2000 million, I am afraid that 500 million is possible, hehe..."

A group of ministers hadn't woken up from the shock, and they were completely dumbfounded when they heard the number again. How could Li Shimin not know Li Yu's thoughts and scolded;
"Get out!"

"According to the order."

Li Yu agreed, turned around and left with a snickering smile, the people in the room were still looking at me, I looked at you, no one spoke for a long time, Yu Chigong was about to step up to say a few words of congratulations, Li Ji who was next to him hurriedly stopped Yu Chigong's clothes, said in a low voice;

"What are you doing up there?"

"I'm going to congratulate Your Majesty, this can get more than 2000 million coins, I must congratulate Your Majesty!"

"What are you going to congratulate? Congratulations to Your Majesty, seeing that so much money is not yours anymore?

Your Majesty has already said that no matter how much is left today, it will be handed over to Sixteen Guards, but who would have thought of getting this much out? How could His Majesty say those things if he knew such a huge number?
Do you think His Majesty will be happy now?Seeing that so much money has to be thrown out, and it is not easy to go back on what you said yourself, are you unhappy without seeing it?

Are you still rushing to make fun of yourself?Wait a minute, Your Majesty is a wise and mighty Holy Lord, you can think about it in a while, just wait until His Majesty thinks about it, don't you see that everyone is pretending to be stupid right now? "
