Modern people who traveled through the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 247 Agents

Empress Changsun actually didn’t have much money, this was the largest amount she spent in the harem, and this was earned from the two formulas Zhao Han gave her. The reason why she bought the formula made by the loom was because Empress Changsun knew that she bought this loom. The cloth machine will definitely not lose money.

After Zhao Han was surprised, he took a gavel and shouted to everyone: "15 once, 15 twice, 15 three times, it's a deal. Congratulations to the Queen for taking the loom making formula. Next is the third lot. It is said that people depend on food, and the third item in the auction is seeds, which are called potatoes. They are not afraid of locusts when they grow in the ground, and the yield is particularly high. On average, one mu of land can produce fifty shi of grain (one stone is about one hundred catties) ), the most important thing is that this potato is particularly drought-resistant, unlike other grains, which only produce three or four stones of grain on one acre of good weather, I have seeds from one hundred acres of land here, and the auction price is 1 taels of gold."

As soon as Zhao Han finished speaking, Li Shimin suddenly got up and went to the stage, took Zhao Han's hand and asked excitedly, "How much grain can one mu of land called potatoes produce?"

Zhao Han said: "If there is a drought, one mu of land can produce thirty to forty shi of grain, and if the weather is good, it can produce fifty shi. What's wrong? Didn't I tell you before?"

Li Shimin said angrily: "When did you tell me? If you tell me, can I be so calm? Alright, I want the potato seeds."

Zhao Han said: "That's not acceptable. You can't be so domineering if others haven't bid yet. What if someone else bids higher than you?"

Li Shimin said with a smirk: "Well, I will offer 1 taels of gold, who can offer a higher price than me?"

As soon as Li Shimin's words came out, none of the people at the auction dared to speak out. Zhao Han saw that this would not work, how could he make money like this?Zhao Han hurriedly gave Cheng Yaojin his eyes, signaling him to raise the price, but Cheng Yaojin pretended not to see Zhao Han with a cigarette in his mouth, and Zhao Han gritted his teeth angrily.

Zhao Han had no choice but to make eye contact with Changsun Wuji and the others, but no one paid attention to him. Zhao Han had no choice but to announce that Li Shimin's auction was successful. Li Shimin smiled triumphantly, then walked back to his seat and sat down to wait for the next lot.

Zhao Han took out sweet potato seeds again and said to Li Shimin: "Seeds can only be auctioned once per person. The seeds in this auction are called sweet potatoes. The yield of sweet potatoes is the same as that of potatoes. But if you are lucky, the yield can be as high as 1 shi, and the bidding price is also [-] taels." Gold, now the auction begins."

Li Shimin really wanted to beat Zhao Han up now, it was clearly aimed at him, but he also had a way to deal with this brat, Li Shimin cast a look at Empress Changsun.

Empress Changsun nodded to show that she understood, and said to Zhao Han, "I will give out 1 taels of gold."

Zhao Han saw that Li Shimin asked Empress Changsun to call for the price. What is the difference between this and his own call?Zhao Han hurriedly said: "You are a family, and the empress is not qualified to bid."

Li Shimin stood up from the stool, he really wanted to go up and beat Zhao Han up, but Li Shimin held back, turned his head and gave Wei Zheng a look, Wei Zheng nodded to show that he knew, Li Shimin thought to you, you brat Can't say anything?If you dare to stop me again, I will beat you up today.

Wei Zheng said: "The old man bids 1 taels of gold."

Everyone saw Li Shimin's eyes on Wei Zheng, who would dare to bid?Everyone knows that Li Shimin is bound to win, who dares to bid?

Zhao Han had no choice but to announce that Wei Zheng had successfully photographed sweet potato seeds. Zhao Han said to Li Shimin, "I still have winter wheat seeds here. They will be sown in August and September and harvested in March next year. There are no locusts during this period, and they are also highly resistant to drought. A mu of land can produce twelve or three stones of grain, if you want it, I can save it by auctioning it, and the price is still 1 taels of gold."

Li Shimin nodded and said that he wanted it, and wanted to count on your kid's knowledge, and said to Zhao Han: "I want this seed too, what other seeds do you have? Take them out together."

Zhao Han took out the corn again and said, "There is also this corn. You have eaten this. The yield per acre of land is the same as that of winter wheat. However, corn can only be sown in March and April, and harvested in July and August. This is afraid of locusts."

Li Shimin nodded and said that he also wanted this. Although this corn is not as advantageous as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and winter wheat, the output is also very objective. Li Shimin decided that he also wanted this.

Seeing that Li Shimin had bought all the seeds, Zhao Han continued: "The next auction is the number of agents. This agent means that I will be responsible for the production of the things, and the products produced will be sold to the agent at a reserve price. The dealer is responsible for the sales, do you understand what I said? If you don’t understand, you can ask questions, and I will explain them to everyone.”

Just after Zhao Han finished speaking, He Xu asked, "My lord, if I get an agent's spot at auction, will the selling price be set by me or by you, my lord? Also, is there only one quorum for this agent? "

Zhao Han didn't expect that He Xu had a good vision, and the question he asked was on point, and he explained to He Xu: "You decide how much to sell, I don't care about it. As for the number of agents, there is only one in each region, and the base price is 5000 taels, as for how much you can buy in the end, it depends on the number of people bidding, and the quota of an agent is only limited to one year, and the auction will be re-auctioned after one year."

He Xu nodded to indicate that he had no problem, and the others didn't say anything, what were they all waiting for Zhao Han to auction?
Zhao Han asked Ma Yi to turn on the projector and said, "Everyone knows that the land cannot be used for planting crops in winter, so the land will be idle and useless, and what I want to auction is the greenhouse, which can grow vegetables in winter. Because this greenhouse is built on the ground, the temperature in the greenhouse will be maintained, and a stove is built in the greenhouse, so that the temperature in the greenhouse will be the same as in summer, so that the fields will not be idle and wasted, and the greenhouse is one foot The wholesale price is ten fen, as for how much you sell it is up to you, well, the auction price of the agent in Chang'an area is 5000 taels of silver, and the auction starts now."

Li Shimin thinks this greenhouse is good. It is useless to leave the fields idle in winter, and there are only two types of vegetables in winter, that is, cabbage and radish. If there are fewer vegetables, the food consumption will be greater. If there is this greenhouse, the types of vegetables will increase. If there are more, the food consumption will decrease, which will reduce the food shortage and shortage of food.

Everyone also understood this truth, so they felt that the sale was not a loss, and everyone started bidding one after another, and the final price was set at 1 taels. It's also 1 taels of silver."

Zhao Han asked everyone: "Is there any bid from the agent in Shandong?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Han knocked on the table with a gavel and said, "Well, the agent in Shandong is owned by He Xu."

Others also auctioned off the agents in their own area, but none of them exceeded 1 taels, and the lowest one was auctioned at the original price of 5000 taels.
