The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

　　 Thank you for sponsoring the Chamber of Commerce, Xiao Rui continued: "Now this king announces that the first charity auction of the Great Xia Kingdom has officially started! Next, please have our service staff present the first treasure to be auctioned!"

Xiao Rui pointed to the left side of her body, and a beautiful young girl swayed over. Her mouth was smiling, her eyebrows were full of amorous feelings, and her eyes were playful. She carried a tray on the stage, and the tray was covered. A piece of red cloth.

　　 "What a beautiful red cloth." Xiao Feng couldn't help but praise, and then asked Xiao Ze: "Brother, I heard that you found this place. You also found this girl? Tsk, it feels really different!"

　　 Xiao Ze glanced at Xiao Feng with a speechless face, while Xiao Feng smiled awkwardly, still staring at the girl.

On the stage, Xiao Rui said with a smile: "My lords, the treasures of this auction are donated by your majesty, your empresses, and several princes. According to the auction process, there are three steps. The first step is to auction the treasures donated by your empresses. , The second step is to auction the treasures donated by the prince, and finally, the treasures donated by your majesty! And the first treasure now on the market is donated by our respected empress, please see!"

　　 After that, he lifted the red cloth.

　　 Everyone's eyes were attracted, when the red cloth was lifted, everyone saw a jade Ruyi!

"Look, everyone, this mutton jade Ruyi is carved from white jade in its entirety. It is crystal clear and has a warm luster. It also cleverly engraves bats on Ruyi, which means more blessings and longevity, and peaches imply longevity. It has the meaning of good luck and happiness, which makes this jade Ruyi a good product. This mutton white jade Ruyi has a starting price of one thousand taels and a minimum price increase of not less than one hundred taels. Now the bidding begins!" Xiao Rui introduced.

　　 The scene suddenly fell silent. After all, it was the first auction, and everyone present was not mentally prepared.

　　 "I, Hengtong Chamber of Commerce will bid one thousand taels!" Leopard hesitated for a while and immediately bid. This is a treasure donated by the Queen, or a tribute. It is no longer worth a thousand taels. The meaning it represents is the most important.

　　 "My Huishang Chamber of Commerce bids one thousand and one hundred taels!" The manager of the Huishang Chamber of Commerce immediately quoted.

　　At this time, the faces of civil and military officials were not very good. They kept saying that they looked down on merchants. Now they are rushing to bid, and the officials have not acted. Isn't this self-defeating?

　　 "The official bid two thousand taels!" Zhou Mingwen stood up and shouted. The queen is his sister. How could he let the treasure donated by her sister take so little silver? Wouldn't it be a shame if he was not as good as the imperial concubine Lin Yuer.

　　 "The official invested two thousand one hundred taels!" Who knows, the brother of the imperial concubine Lin Yuer also contributed funds, of course, the purpose of his funding was purely for the sick queen and Zhou Mingwen.

　　 Zhou Mingwen said angrily: "This official has invested two thousand eight hundred taels!"

　　 "Two thousand nine hundred taels!" Lin Feng said with a smile, he believed Zhou Mingwen would increase the price.

　　 "Three thousand taels!" Zhou Mingwen shouted, Zhou's family can't lose, nor can they lose!

　　......

　　 Xiao Rui looked at the fierce competition, listening to the rising amount of money, there was joy between his eyebrows.

　　 I like to watch the brainless competition of the local tyrants. It is easier to make money than drinking cold water. After all, drinking cold water can cramp your teeth.

　　 In the end, Lin Feng stopped raising the price, and Zhou Mingwen won the jade ruyi with four thousand taels of silver.

Xiao Rui immediately sent compliments: "Thank you for your generous donation, Lord Zhou, the Secretary of the Li Ministry. Your love will surely help countless poor people. When they live well and happy, they will inevitably pray in their hearts for blessings. Below, there is Please keep the second treasure for auction from the donation of the imperial concubine and empress. Master Zhou, you have to keep it!"

　　 Zhou Mingwen sneered, keep it? It must be maintained this time. Your Lin family deliberately raised the price. We come here without being indecent. How can I forgive you this time?

　　 Xiao Rui raised his hand, and another beautiful girl brought the treasure.

　　 On the fourth floor, Xiao Feng swallowed again and couldn't help muttering, "Where did the seventh brother find the maid? It smells so delicious."

　　 Of course there is a smell, the red woman is deliberately pure, this tune must be attractive.

　　 Xiao Ze glanced to one side, not wanting to pay attention to him.

　　 At this time, Xiao Rui had already lifted the red cloth, and the treasure presented by the imperial concubine Lin Yuer was a green jade pendant.

　　 Xiao Rui kindly praised this ice jade jade pendant, and then set the price at one thousand taels and started bidding.

　　 Sure enough, Lin Feng made the first bid, and Zhou Mingwen immediately increased the price. The two of you came and I fought, so that other people who were planning to bid couldn't talk. When Zhou Mingwen mentioned the price of four thousand taels, he was not ready to continue to raise the price, making Lin Feng unwilling and unwilling to pay out the money.

　　 But who knows, Lin Feng is so cunning that he bowed his hand and confessed: "Master Zhou has a profound family background, and the official is not as good as the official. Let this exquisite jade pendant be given to Master Zhou!"

　　 In an instant, Zhou Mingwen was dumbfounded, and was actually played by Lin Feng!

　　 Lin Feng was cunning. Her sister's jade pendant was also raised to four thousand taels, not inferior to the queen, so he didn't need to raise the price, and letting Zhou Mingwen disgust him even more. It's clear who loses and who wins in this round.

　　 Just when everyone thought Zhou Mingwen was defeated, a voice suddenly came from the fourth floor.

　　 "His Royal Highness Chu has invested five thousand taels!"

　　 is the personal **** of the second prince Xiao Yiheng. The price he paid directly increased the price by one thousand taels, which not only relieved Zhou Mingwen, but also showed the magnanimity and grandeur of the king of Chu.

　　 Xiao Rui wanted to clap his hands and praise his methods.

　　 The eldest prince Xiao Lie did not maliciously raise the price, so Xiao Rui set the final price.

　　 Next, the treasure donated by the three princes and concubines is a glazed calendula statue. Xiao Ze did not bid for it, and no one bid up the price. It was auctioned by the Book Merchant of the Ministry of Etiquette at two thousand taels at a moderate price.

　　 Next, the treasures donated by other imperial concubines were auctioned one after another, and finally won twenty thousand liang.

　　 It is true that twenty thousand taels is not too much, but Xiao Rui is extremely dissatisfied. This is far from his goal. No, he must play some tricks.

　　 "Next, please let the adults enjoy a song and dance, with some refreshments, after the song and dance, we will start the second round of auction!" Xiao Rui suspended the auction.

　　 Then, the beautiful oiran pouring tea and wine for this group of powerful people, I believe it will not be lonely.

　　 Xiao Rui went up to the fourth floor, accompanied Xia Huang with a few words, and then went down for a reason. Before leaving, he gave Xiao Yan a look.

　　 Xiao Yan understood, after a while, for convenience, he went downstairs and saw Xiao Rui.

　　 "Xiao Rui, what do you call me?" Xiao Yan asked.

　　 Xiao Rui said, "I will arrange a task for you, do you not?"

　　 "What mission?" Xiao Yan asked.

Xiao Rui said: "When auctioning the donations of the princes, you should try to raise the price for me, don’t be too obvious. But when the donations of the father are auctioned, don’t have any worries, try to raise the price, and listen at that time. If I do what I say, I will give you a hint when I stop. If you do it well, I will do it lightly to the emperor for you."

　　 "No problem, leave it to me!" Xiao Yan immediately jumped for joy when he heard that something was going to happen.

　　 Xiao Rui nodded, and then the two separated.

　　 After the singing and dancing, Xiao Rui continued on stage, and the treasures donated by the eldest prince Xiao Lie were also presented on stage.

　　 "Everyone, the second round of auctions is now starting, and the first treasure is a donation from King Jin, the eldest prince, please take a look!" Xiao Rui lifted the red cloth and saw a pair of Go on the tray.

Xiao Rui introduced: "Everyone knows that my elder brother is very talented and good at chess. This piece of Go is exactly what he loves. The white piece is polished with good white jade, and the black piece is polished with good black jade. Go is rare in the world. He is willing to take out such beloved treasures for the people. As a younger brother, he deeply respects him."

　　 On the fourth floor, Xiao Lie didn't change his face, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. This is an ordinary Go game. There are not ten sets in his mansion, but there are five sets. It is rare in the world to have them. Xiao Rui praised him so, he naturally wouldn't reveal it, but secretly remembered Xiao Rui's goodness.

　　 Xiao Rui said so well, he has only one purpose: "So, the auction price of this set of Go is ten thousand taels!"

　　 "Ahem..." Xiao Lie was careless, almost squirting tea.

How many? Ten thousand taels? Why don't I know how valuable it is? Xiao Lie was confused.

　　 "Big Brother is really generous." Xiao Yan deliberately admired.

　　 Xiao Yiheng showed disdain, and said sarcastically: "Things are good things, but I don’t know if anyone is bidding. Don’t let anyone care about it, it’s not good."

　　 Xiao Lie was startled, yes, if no one bids, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

Xiao Rui on the stage naturally knew that it was possible to pass the shots, but he also knew that he would never pass the shots because the prince could not afford to lose the person. They swallowed the shots by themselves, and they couldn’t pass the shots. That’s why Xiao Rui dared to work hard. Raising the price, if it weren't for being afraid of revealing the stuff, he would want to directly set a price of 50,000 yuan.

Sure enough, the price of 10,000 yuan made many Baiguans who support Xiao Lie discouraged. They wanted to photograph this thing to prove their allegiance, but the price of 10,000 taels is really a bit high. Buying a pair of Go that is not necessary is really a show of brains. Up.

Lin Feng is Xiao Lie’s uncle. If others don’t show up, he has to show up. Just when he wanted to speak, the **** who was next to the queen came out and said, “The queen empress said, since there is no one to bid, then the empress will bid one. Be sure not to let the treasure of the eldest prince be left unattended."

　　 As soon as he said this, Xiao Rui secretly called pretty.

　　 Just now your Lin family played Zhou Mingwen, and now the queen Zhou Xiangyun is against the general.

　　 This move completely angered the supporters of the faction supporting the Grand Prince. Now is not the time to care about the silver two, so the household minister Shangshu Yang Feiyuan went out: "This official likes this set of chess pieces, and I bid fifteen thousand taels!"

　　 Yang Feiyuan is Xiao Lie’s father-in-law, so naturally he must give his full support.

　　 "I also like this set of chess pieces, not as good as twenty thousand taels." Xiao Yiheng also gave a kick.

　　 "Twenty-five thousand taels!" Yang Feiyuan added another five thousand taels. He was the Shangshu of the Household Department and the head of the Yang family's family clan. The Yang family's wealth is rich, and the 25,000 taels are small money.

　　 This time, the queen and Xiao Yiheng were both silent.

　　 In this way, this set of chess pieces was auctioned for 25,000 taels.

　　 The activity continued, Xiao Rui waved his hand, and the maid sent the donation from the second prince Xiao Yiheng, opened the red cloth, and it was a scroll. Xiao Rui ordered someone to open the scroll, which was a picture scroll.

　　 "Everyone, this is a famous painting donated by the king of Chu. It is a map of wind and rain made by the famous painter Xiaoyaozi in Daxia. The collection value of this painting does not need to be said by the king, so this painting is priced at 20,000 taels!"

　　 Xiao Rui didn't brag this time. This painting is indeed worth a lot. Although 20,000 taels is a bit high, it is still reasonable. And Xiao Yiheng's purpose for taking out these treasures is also to be the leader.

　　 Sure enough, when the Emperor Xia saw this painting, he couldn't help but praised: "The King of Chu is interested!"

　　 This remark made the other princes' minds sinking.

Xiao Yiheng was overjoyed, thinking that he was right. He felt that His Majesty must pay attention to this donation, so he took out his treasures to raise funds, which can not only reflect his attention, be compassionate to the people, but also show that he is noble and regard these treasures as foreign objects. .

　　 This is the boldness that the prince should have!

　　 "This is what Erchen should do. Brother, his set of chess pieces is also a beloved thing, and the price is expensive, and Erchen learns from him!" Xiao Yiheng did not forget to attack Xiao Lie.

　　 Xiao Lie's expression was a little uncontrollable. If others don’t know, your Majesty doesn’t know the value of that set of Go? It can't be compared with this painting at all. hateful! For a moment, I ignored the opportunity to raise money to make justice, and was caught by Xiao Yiheng.

　　 Xia Huang smiled and nodded, without saying anything.

　　 Xiaoyaozi's "The Wind and Rain Map of the Country" does not need to be introduced or raised, and people who know how to start bidding. This time, Xiao Yan also took the opportunity to raise the price twice, which was regarded as helping to raise the price.

　　 In the end, this painting was won by Li's family at a price of fifty thousand taels.

　　 Xiao Rui was quite satisfied.

　　 Next, there are donations from other princes one after another, there is no waves, and it goes on smoothly.

　　 In the end, except for Xiao Rui and Xiao Yuan who was not in the capital, the treasures donated by the seven princes raised a total of 175,000 taels, plus the queen and noble concubines, less than 200,000 taels.

　　 Including the sponsorship and bidding from www.ltnovel.com~ it is only 750,000 taels, which is more than 1,200,000 taels, and 450,000 taels short.

And then, only your majesty’s donation was left, and your majesty only wrote three characters, which was written by Xiao Rui begging. These three characters wanted to raise 450,000 taels each. It costs 150,000 taels!

　　 What is the concept of 150,000 taels?

　　 The official salary of the Great Xia Kingdom is very rich, so Xiao Rui feels greedy, no wonder everyone wants to be an official, because his salary is higher than that of the Song Dynasty in the previous life!

They not only have salaries and silver, but also other subsidies such as clothing, lu millet, tea, wine and cooking materials, fuel charcoal, salt, clothing and food for the servants, millet for horses, additional support (increased), job money, minister money, and rewards. In simple terms, for a scholar, one year's income is equivalent to two thousand five hundred taels of silver.

　　 And one hundred fifty thousand taels need one six books without eating or drinking for sixty years.

　　 So, 150,000 taels is an astronomical figure.

　　 But you know, this is just a scholar's salary and does not involve his family business. If he has a knighthood, he will also have a food! Shiyi is the big head. It can be used to seal 23,000 households. After several generations, 150,000 taels is not a big deal.

　　 Not to mention those gate valves!

　　 The Li family clan has existed for hundreds of years, and Daxia has existed before it was established. There are also Zhou family, Yang family, etc., will they have less wealth accumulated over the centuries?

　　 A huge amount of money in the past, and Shen’s embezzlement, is compared to the fifteen-year state treasury, so where is the wealth of those celebrities?

　　 I can only say that their wealth is not revealed.

　　 "One hundred and two hundred thousand taels! No problem!" Xiao Rui immediately became full of confidence.
