Daming: I help my wife be the empress

The rules of the auction are very simple, and they have been revealed by the Xu family before, but now Lu Jiude just reiterates it.

First of all, grain can only be exchanged for treasures, and they are all calculated in rice. Other grains can be accepted at the time of handover, but they need to be exchanged at the price of rice, and rice is regarded as an equivalent.

The second is to copy the rules of the auction scene from later generations.

Soon Lu Jiude reiterated the rules of the auction, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then continued: "Our family knows that everyone can't wait to see the treasures, so we don't need to talk too much, and now we will auction the first item."

At this time, Ming Shilan took out a cardboard box from the box, took out the "treasure" inside, unfolded it, and showed it to the wealthy people in Suzhou.

At the same time, Lu Jiude took a loudspeaker and introduced: "If you are a courtier, you should have heard that the emperor once rewarded several capable civil servants with a treasure called 'sun lamp desk lamp', and this is it."

Everyone looked at it, and saw that the treasure in the paper box, which was only the size of an ordinary inkstone, suddenly turned into a treasure with "immortal atmosphere" in its material and shape after unfolding.

It was easily picked up by Ming Shilan with one hand, and it was displayed in the pavilion, obviously very light.

Although it was daytime, a bright radiance bloomed, soft and not dazzling.

Lu Jiude continued: "This solar desk lamp is used for night lighting. It is so bright during the day, but how bright it should be at night can be imagined.

Even if you are not a scholar, you should have a student at home, right?Think about it, if children who are studying at home can use this light to read at night, how convenient would it be?
In addition, how much face should it be to take out this thing when inviting guests to a banquet at night to make the hall as bright as day?

In addition to the bright light, the most amazing thing about this lamp is that it can continue to emit light as long as it absorbs sunlight.

That is to say, unless you are not careful enough and wear it out, it can be used as a family heirloom and passed on to future generations.

As far as our family knows, so far, less than ten ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have been rewarded with this treasure by His Majesty, which shows how precious this treasure is. "

Having said that, Lu Jiude took a break for a while.

The wealthy people around the lotus pond whispered to each other excitedly——

"Isn't this the legendary eternal lamp?"

"You are too ignorant to say that. As far as I know, the ever-burning lamp uses whale oil as the lamp oil, and it can last tens of hundreds of years in the tomb, but the light is only slightly brighter than a normal candle. Can it be compared with this magical lamp that emits light by absorbing sunlight?"

"Speaking of which, fluorite can actually absorb sunlight and emit light at night, but the brightness is far from that of this magic lamp. Could it be that this magic lamp is made of fluorite?"

"Even if it is really made of fluorite, it must be a magic weapon refined by the methods of the immortal family."

"Then will you buy it or not?"

"As long as I can afford it, I will definitely buy it."

"Brother Chen was joking, is there anything in this world that the Chen family can't afford?"

"My Chen family has some money, but it's nothing compared to Brother Qian's family."

"···"

Lu Jiude looked at the electronic watch that Auntie Zhu gave him as a reward, and seeing that 10 minutes had passed, he picked up the loudspeaker again.

"This sun lamp table lamp is considered one of the most important treasures of this auction, so the starting price is [-] shim, and each increase should not be less than [-] shim. Whoever wants to get this magical lamp can bid."

"11 stone!"

"I will offer 15 stone!"

Someone immediately raised the price to 15 shi, which made the voices of other rich people stagnate.

But soon someone shouted unhurriedly: "16 shi!"

"20 shi! My Wujiang Cai family is going to order this magical lamp!"

Lu Jiude frowned, and said with a loudspeaker: "Have you forgotten the rules of the auction? No one should make threats. The Cai family in Wujiang commits a crime for the first time, and they will be warned once; if they commit a crime again, they will be expelled from the venue!"

The young rich man of the Cai family in Wujiang who was asking the price suddenly turned pale.

"Is there any price increase? Wujiang Cai's 20 shi once..."

"I will offer 30 stone!"

Someone shouted a high price of 30 shi all at once, even though there were rich people present, they couldn't help being a little commotion.

After seeing who was asking the price, no one raised the price for a while.

Seeing this, Lu Jiude frowned again, and thought: This auction is still not good enough, it seems that next time, according to His Majesty's instructions, everyone participating in the event should wear a mask to participate, so that they don't know each other's identities , so that the auction can be made more "fair" and the treasures can be auctioned for more value.

Just hope someone doesn't mess it up this time.

Ming Shilan on the side looked at the rich men in Suzhou around him, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Being able to be dispatched by Aimee Zhu to participate in such important affairs, her quality and ability in all aspects can be said to be the best among female officials who were born in Nanjing.

Thinking that many of these wealthy people can produce more than [-] shi of grain, but His Majesty is worried about the lack of food all day long, and there are tens of thousands of hungry people in various places in Ming Dynasty who starve to death anytime and anywhere. Everyone who is rich and rich should be killed!

'After returning to the palace, I must tell His Majesty the wealth of this generation! '

After thinking this way, Ming Shilan revealed a bright smile instead.

In the end, the first treasure to be unveiled in this auction, the solar desk lamp, was auctioned at a price of 30 shim.

"The next treasure to be auctioned is called an electronic watch. Let's see, this is it."

What Ming Shilan took out was not the watch worn by Lu Jiude, but a cheaper electronic watch. Hao Guangming bought hundreds of them at a wholesale price of a dozen yuan.

"Everyone who is well-informed must know that the 24-hour system is being implemented today, and this electronic watch uses 24-hour and Arabic numerals to keep time, allowing you to accurately grasp the time anytime, anywhere.

This watch is auctioned in three groups, one in the first group, with a starting price of [-] shimi, the second group of three, with a starting price of [-] shimi, and the third group of five, with an initial bidding price of [-] shimi, with each increase not less than [-] shi Meter. "

Lu Jiude's auction speech was a bit weird compared to the people of the Ming Dynasty, because he learned some modern vocabulary after being trained by Hao Guangming.

In addition, the auction price he set seems high, but even if it is converted into silver at the current grain price, it is not much.

For example, based on three taels of silver and one stone of rice, the lamp was only sold for 90 taels.

And among the Suzhou rich people present, which one is not worth more than one million taels?It is estimated that there are tens of millions of worth.

It should be known that in the late Ming Dynasty, the financial resources of the rich in Suzhou should be able to rank among the top five in the Jiangnan prefectures.

In the eyes of most rich people, electronic watches seem to be less useful than solar lamps, and there are still situations where they need to buy electronics when the battery runs out. In addition, Lu Jiude will auction three sets, so a total of 15 shimi was auctioned in the end.

"The next one is the elixir to cure thirst."

Elixir?

Hearing this, all the rich people immediately lifted their spirits.

After all, the first rumor they heard was related to the elixir to cure diabetes.

Diabetes is a disease of the rich and the rich. None of the rich people present can be sure that they will not get it. If the price is right, it is always right to buy a copy.

As a result, after Lu Jiude finished introducing them, they realized that this fairy medicine could not cure diabetes (diabetes), but could only suppress it—after taking the fairy medicine, it was basically the same as a normal person, but it needed to be avoided.

And the price of a piece of fairy medicine that can be taken for one year is not very expensive, the starting price is only [-] shimi.

And this time Lu Jiude only took out one copy.

Although some people speculated that Lu Jiude brought more than one elixir to cure diabetes, no one dared to bet.

Therefore, 12 shimi were actually sold for this elixir!
