Looking at these "real estate speculators" who have come all the way to "come here for fame" - people like Zhaoju, who have been bleeding a few days ago, are fine... As for the other old nobles who have not yet purchased their own land, Their eyes widened in horror!
Hold the grass!
Xiong Wuliang, Xiong Wuliang, you are so cruel!
No wonder it took three days...it turned out to be waiting for these wealthy foreigners and big dogs!
An Lujun, who came from afar, smiled at Jing Chong, showing his white teeth...
Jing Chong felt a chill in his heart - the Anlu Lord in front of him, his father was a run-down noble. Because of his meritorious service in battle, he was granted the title of emperor by the previous king of Chu... Such a poor background has always been looked down upon by the children of wealthy families like the Jing family. .
Since his father was granted the title of Lord Anlu due to his meritorious service, and later his father passed away due to illness, it was natural for this guy to be granted the title.
Somehow, some memories that had been buried for many years slowly came back to life... Jing Chong suddenly remembered that when he was very young, he was imprisoned because the current Lord Anlu (who was still a child at the time and a hostage in Yingdu) was from a humble background and had a remote fiefdom. , laughed at the latter loudly...
"I didn't expect that I... would also have the opportunity to become a noble citizen of Yingdu." Anlu Jun smiled solemnly, playing with a shiny ancient copper sword coin with his fingers.
Xiong Wuliang didn't come today - but a face that was equally impressive and made people gnash their teeth with hatred appeared on the stage.
I saw Song Zhe slowly walking out from behind and smiling slightly: "Everyone, you came on time."
"No more nonsense, let's get started..."
…
The subsequent development of the situation was indeed not what Jingchun expected!
Hold the grass.
These gangsters who came to Yingdu from other places to beg for food are really ruthless in their bidding!
Especially when it was Jing Chong's turn to own his own land... That damn An Lujun was like a wolf with red eyes, bidding wildly for the price without even blinking!
"Ten thousand gold!" An Lujun sneered, and he had already called out an astronomical number!
For a feudal lord in a remote mountainous area like Anlu Jun, ten thousand gold is already all the property in the fiefdom!
And what is being auctioned is only one-third of the total area of Jing's mansion.
Even though Jing Chong thought he was wealthy, he couldn't bear it anymore - after all, this was only one-third of the mansion. Besides, even if Jing is rich, he can't be so prodigal!
"What? Could it be that the Yingdu Jing family doesn't even have ten thousand gold?" An Lujun smiled gently, but the words he said were extremely provocative!
Song Zhe on the stage smiled even more happily when he heard this... This plan that was delayed for three days now seems to be so successful!
The second batch of land auctions will total an unimaginable number!
It is conceivable that I will undoubtedly get more favor from my master.
Of course, this won preference is based on the pain of many wealthy families in Yingdu...
Ahem!
Not to mention how Song Zhe was laughing wildly in his heart - here, An Lujun smiled coldly and waved his hand: "Twelve thousand gold!"
Everyone in Jingchong was dumbfounded: "I haven't bid yet..."
An Lujun laughed loudly, with the unique boldness of a military attache in his voice: "It was ten thousand gold just now, now it is twelve thousand gold!"
Everyone was deeply shocked!
Hold the grass!
This old man from out of town is now driving up the land price with a crazy squeeze and bidding with himself!
Jing Man's face turned red, and he was gnashing his teeth at being squeezed... He wanted to pull out his sword and strike down this damn An Lujun with one strike!
"Isn't it possible that the dignified Jing family is not as rich and wealthy as me, a foreign lord?" An Lujun continued to provoke madly: "I'm afraid that the Jing family's great reputation is just superficial!"
It is true that compared to the Jing family, Anlu Jun's power is too small.
The crazy clamoring at this moment is undoubtedly an act of throwing an egg at a stone.
But Mr. Anlu is definitely not stupid!
Now the political situation of Chu State seems very clear - Xiong Wuliang is obviously a reformist. Although he does not admit it, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just Xiong Wuliang's delaying strategy.
And many old nobles are naturally on the opposite side of Xiong Wuliang!
An Lujun is now desperately provoking. The old grudges from his youth and the longing to move to Yingdu are of course only one aspect... More importantly, he is sending a signal to Quyang Hou - I am willing to be used by you!
Someone may have asked - Mr. Anlu also has a fiefdom. If Xiong Wuliang carries out a reform, wouldn't he also be the party whose interests are harmed?
In fact, those who really hate the reform are only the Jing family, Zhao family and other large nobles...
Among the noble vassals, there are also three, six or nine levels.
Superiors like Zhaoju and Jingchong are the top figures in the pyramid among the vested interests, and of course they are extremely resistant to reform.
And Anlu Jun is like this, sealed in a remote place where no birds can poop, and the population under his rule may only be three to five thousand people at most... Although flies are just pieces of meat no matter how small they are, they can squeeze out the oil and water from the barren land. , can only be said to be better than nothing.
It's not a pity to give up.
An Lujun is betting!
By supporting Xiong Wuliang's reform, you may have lost a fiefdom that is better than nothing, but you will have the opportunity to get more and more useful things!
…
It’s not that Xiong Wuliang didn’t attend – there was only a screen as a barrier, and he knew the auction site well.
The so-called criminals often like to return to the scene of their crimes.
What's more, our Marquis of Quyang loves money as much as his life... How can an unscrupulous young man not come to witness such a highlight moment of making (extorting) money (frauding) like crazy?
It's just that Marquis Qu Yang didn't want everyone to see the ugly face with the corners of his mouth raised crazily, so he used a screen to hide himself... Except for his own people, no one knew that the dignified Marquis Qu Yang was listening in the corner...
At this moment, in the venue, I heard An Lujun running against the Jing family...
Xiong Wuliang raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something...
yes!
I am still affected by my inertial thinking... Nobles are by no means monolithic!
Needless to say, the old nobles must hate themselves to death - but among the many nobles in the huge Chu Kingdom, there must be a considerable number of small and medium-sized nobles who can be used by me like the Xu family, the Hong family, and Anlu Jun!
As long as their 'gain' is greater than their 'loss', they can fully support themselves!
Xiong Wuliang's eyes lit up slightly, as if he thought of something.
Perhaps, this is a good entry point...
If the envisioned 'plan' can come true, it will surely greatly reduce the resistance to reform!
"Mr. Anlu, you are a poor little prince, do you really have so much money and food? Are you just randomly bidding?" In the venue, Jing Chong's face was ashen and he gritted his teeth and said.
Even the Jing family couldn't bear it anymore!
Don't get me wrong - the Jing family is indeed a big tree with deep roots. It has many manors and fields, and even many private military groups. Throughout the Chu State, there are countless officials and minor officials who are secretly loyal to the Jing family, and their forces are intertwined... But It would be too difficult for Mr. Jing to shell out so much cash at once!
Song Zhe's eyes lit up, he smiled at Jing Chong and said, "Elder Guo, could it be..."
