In the supreme box on the fourth floor, Li Shimin looked at Luo Zhang below with a strange look on his face. He really couldn't figure out how this kid's head grew. People's land was cultivated to collect rent, but he was lucky enough to sell his house. I'm afraid It is the first of its kind, unprecedented and unprecedented.
Luo Zhang did not continue to preside over the auction of this house, but handed it over to Zhao Tianhu. From now on, Zhao Tianhu will take over this place. He cannot do everything by himself, so he must be exhausted to death. Besides, this house There was no need for him to arouse the atmosphere of the auction. All that needed to be said was said and all that needed to be publicized. According to Luo Zhang's own estimation, the price could not be lowered.
The house auction was in full swing, but Luo Zhang climbed to the fourth floor and knocked on the door of the supreme box.
Seeing that the person coming was Luo Zhang, Eunuch Huang directly led him to His Majesty's side, and then stepped aside, as if His Majesty had already given instructions.
Luo Zhang didn't pay attention and immediately paid his respects to His Majesty.
"Tell me, what do you think?" Li Shimin asked, taking a sip of tea.
Hearing His Majesty's inquiry, Luo Zhang smiled. He came here just to explain to His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, aren't I thinking about the health of the officials of the Tang Dynasty? The effect of the hot spring is indeed as I said, it is good for the body. No, I come up to invite your Majesty to go to Huaqing Pool tomorrow to take a bath and experience it. It will work." Luo Zhang said with a smile.
"Did you know that the crime of deceiving the emperor is to be beheaded?" Li Shimin glanced at Luo Zhang and did not believe Luo Zhang's lies.
"Wei Chen naturally knows that since Wei Chen dares to say this, it must be true. How dare Wei Chen deceive His Majesty." Luo Zhang explained.
"I hope you won't deceive me. I won't be able to forgive you then!" Li Shimin also laughed as he spoke. Thinking about it carefully, Luo Zhang did not deceive him. This was one of the reasons why he loved Luo Zhang so much.
Looking at the hotly-sold houses below, Li Shimin joked: "Since you are selling houses, how much do I want to buy one?"
Luo Zhang naturally heard Li Shimin's teasing, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty is joking. Your palace, Weichen, has been built a long time ago. It is in Huaqing Pool, where Weichen has opened up a separate area. You won’t be disturbed by outsiders, and it’s the best hot spring in the entire Huaqing Pool. Your Majesty can rest there after taking a dip in the hot spring!”
"Well, if you dare to ask me for money, I'll let Gao Yang deal with you!" Li Shimin glared at Luo Zhang and said.
Li Shimin's words made Luo Zhang look helpless. How could he reason with such an old father-in-law, who actually asked his daughter to take care of him? If His Majesty knew that his daughter was being taken care of by him now, I'm afraid he wouldn't Let's put it this way, Luo Zhang thought happily.
Li Shimin did not stay here for long. He chatted with Luo Zhang for a few more words and then drove back to the palace with the Maotai bottle Luo Zhang gave him.
Li Shimin left so quietly that the people who were fighting for a house did not notice that the lights in the supreme box on the fourth floor had been extinguished and fell into darkness again. By the time they found out, the auction had ended.
But it was already midnight.
When everyone walked out of Yan Lai Tower, they looked back at Yan Lai Tower and felt very emotional in their hearts about what they had seen and heard today.
Even when I think back on it many years later, I still talk about it with relish.
Of course, this does not mean that the auction will end here, but that all future auctions will be held during the day. Don’t even think about auctions at night. This time, His Majesty showed mercy and gave a special exception to cancel the curfew. If you want to cancel the curfew in the future, Unless something big happens.
Standing outside the gate, Luo Zhang saw everyone off, then turned around and went to the small box on the fourth floor. As soon as he entered, he saw Wei King Li Tai sitting there and looking at him with a smile.
Not only Li Tai, but also Zhao Tianhu and Du Jin were standing next to them, and they were also laughing from ear to ear.
Seeing this, Luo Zhang also smiled. He should be happy tonight. Everyone made a lot of money in today's auction.
In the first three auctions, a total of 1.2 million taels were sold. Luo Zhang earned 600,000 taels. King Wei took 30% of the share, which was 360,000 taels, and Zhao Tianhu took half of the share, which was 60,000 taels of silver.
Although Zhao Tianhu has the least, you must know that this is just the proceeds from an auction, and it will be a very objective figure after one year. Besides, this is only Yanlailou, and Zhao Tianhu currently controls the majority of the business. For this, Zhao Tianhu No complaints.
In the fourth auction of the houses in the fiefdom, Luo Zhang received a total of one million taels, which was a pure profit. Compared to other people's fiefdoms where they could grow crops and fruit trees and earn thousands of taels a year, he The fiefdom is really called the golden rooster that lays golden eggs. It only takes one night to collect the money that it would take a hundred years to earn from other people's fiefdoms. This does not include the money spent in the future to buy a house and go to Huaqing Hot Spring to soak in the hot springs.
Just like Luo Zhang said to his grandma, even if someone exchanges a larger and better fief for him, he will not change it. This is a fief that can pass on the family. Compared with his, other people's fiefs, It's simply weak and scummy.
Du Jin is responsible for the management of this place and accounts for half of the income, which is fifty thousand taels. This makes Du Jin extremely happy. He already has an income of fifty thousand taels before he even starts doing anything. This is more than what he earns from working hard. too much.
After dividing the money, everyone naturally wanted to celebrate. Wine and food were indispensable. How could his own shop treat him badly?
It wasn't until the ugly moment that Luo Zhang returned home happily, which made Gao Yang complain a lot, but what would happen if he complained again? Now Gao Yang is taken care of by Luo Zhang.
Two days passed by in a flash. Luo Zhang's Yanlai Building became famous after the auction that night, and became a place that all Chang'an people talked about. You must know that His Majesty was there that night. This shows that What, this shows that His Majesty thinks this place is good.
For a time, many people wanted to enter it to find out, but the super high gate stopped many people. There were only two conditions for entering, either spending 10,000 taels to buy a bronze member, or you are fifth grade or above. Officials can enter for free. Those who fail to meet these two requirements, sorry, will not be admitted!
This makes people even more curious. Various rumors and legends are prevalent in the streets and alleys of Chang'an. Some say that it is extremely luxurious, some say that there is a paradise inside, and some people slander Luo Zhang for looking down on others. In short, there are all kinds of things.
Luo Zhang laughed off this. He had positioned Yanlai Building as a high-end club from the beginning. How could he receive those ordinary people? If you want to eat, just turn left when you go out. Datang Barbecue Shop will meet all your requirements. , I want to enter Yan Lai Building, but I can’t do it if I don’t meet the conditions.
Luo Zhang didn't care too much about Yan Lailou's affairs. He had already left everything to Zhao Tianhu. He believed that Zhao Tianhu could handle it, while he had more important things to do.
Two days later, before dawn, Luo Zhang wore a black corset, rode his royal horse, and led Chen Kuifeng and Shiba out of Chang'an City.
Outside Chang'an City, Li Junxian was also waiting with a team of people. The order he received was to fully cooperate with Luo Zhang to investigate an incident from today on. As for what the matter was, His Majesty did not say anything and only asked him to obey Luo Zhang in everything. That's fine. Although he was curious in his heart, as the commander of the Secret Intelligence Service, he naturally knew what to ask and what not to ask.
After seeing Luo Zhang, Luo Zhang just greeted Li Junxian and passed by without explaining anything.
Although Li Junxian was curious, he didn't say much and followed closely with his troops.
Galloping all the way, Luo Zhang ran for half a day before stopping.
Only then did Li Junxian follow him, looking at the rolling mountains in front of him with some doubts: "Luo Zhang, what are we doing here in the Qilian Mountains?"
"Go into the mountain and look for something! Something vital to the Tang Dynasty!" Luo Zhang said, looking at the rolling mountains ahead.
"Things? Important to the Tang Dynasty?" Li Junxian was frightened by Luo Zhang's words and almost screamed, but luckily he stopped, otherwise he might have attracted a crowd of people behind him.
"You have also seen that thing. It was the last hidden weapon used by Wang Hu that day. That thing is very important. If I can find it, I can go and take a closer look. Do you think that if every soldier of my Datang Dynasty had one? Tie Liao Da, or I can make him ten times or a hundred times more powerful, and throw this thing into the city of Gaogouli. What do you think will happen in the city?" Although Luo Zhang's tone was calm, you can still hear the excitement in his words. meaning.
