The two people were building a relationship here, and the stewards naturally understood the reason, but they didn't point it out, they just laughed and said nothing. Naturally, they also hope that their subordinates can do more. Anyway, they can't escape from the palm of their hands, but it can make them more relaxed.
And at this time, they didn't care about the small thoughts of the people below. If they could get back a large number of slaves, I'm afraid the family master would be even happier! Those slaves don't need to give money, they just need to give them some food! Wouldn't it be cheaper to let them farm and do things then? As for those people who were fired, who cares about them!
After everyone had finished discussing here and placed the order, they looked towards the dock again. At this time, all the things on the first ship had been moved, and the Japanese boarded the ship again and left the berth under the command of the pirates. Then another ship came in immediately. There were still many people disembarking from the ship to carry supplies, but as a result, all kinds of supplies were piled up on the dock!
Those in charge were about to step forward to see what goods were there when they heard the sound of carriages and horses. Turning around, I saw a large number of people driving their carriages and horses towards the dock. Then quickly fill a truck and send it to the warehouse.
This time it was no longer necessary for everyone to step forward. Those carriages passed in front of them, and they could see clearly what they were with just a glance. A steward glanced at the grains of rice that fell on the ground and said, "These carts are all filled with rice. It seems that the price of rice in Tianjin is going to drop again!"
Someone said: "That's good! Now Tianjin's population is booming, and the rise and fall of food prices is no big deal! With this rice, it can be stable for a while!"
"Look, these carts are filled with copper, the best red copper!"
"We have to get some of these copper materials to make copperware. The profit is not small!"
"These cars are covered tightly, but they smell like sulfur."
"It should be sulfur, it's really pungent! These should be the military supplies that the Marquis brought back."
The stewards stood on the dock and watched the carriages loaded with goods rushing to the warehouse, while mentally assessing the harvest. Until their feet were sore from standing, the goods were still being pulled back one by one!
After a long time, even the cows and horses pulling the cart were covered in sweat, not to mention pampered people like them! One of the stewards stamped his feet, flicked his sleeves and said, "Don't look at it, don't look at it! There are so many ships outside that haven't come over yet, God knows when they will be unloaded! It seems that Wu Ninghou has made a fortune this time!"
A steward suddenly said: "By the way, will the wealth obtained this time be distributed according to shares? If so, our family will also get a lot of benefits!"
When this topic was mentioned, everyone became interested and chatted for a long time. It wasn't until they were tired that they dispersed, but the news spread from then on that the Marquis had won a great battle outside and got back countless good things! Moreover, he also killed the majesty of the Japanese. I am afraid that no Japanese would dare to go south in the future! ap.
After hearing the news, some people looked sad and said that this would definitely anger the Japanese and that Japanese pirates would come across the sea in the future! Others were happy and excited, saying that someone finally gave the Japanese pirates some suffering! But more people heard that the Marquis had robbed many good things and was going to hold an auction at Deyi Teahouse, and they all wanted to sneak in and watch the fun!
Just a few days later, the stewards of each family received the news that a trophy auction would be held at Deyi Tea House in two days, and all families were invited to participate. Along with the news came a thick directory. Those who got the directory were also surprised after reading it. They all said that they had captured a city and had to plunder it thoroughly to get these things!
The managers of each house estimate that there are almost 300,000 taels of auction items on the list. In addition, many items have been directly discounted for military needs. It seems that there are also 350,000 taels of silver and 400,000 taels of silver. possible! So everyone agreed on one thing, and everyone who subscribed for shares last time got rich!
Therefore, there are those who rejoice and cheer for friends, and there are those who beat their chests and stamp their feet, and there are those who lament! Some people are also asking when Wu Ninghou will go to sea again so that he can make a fortune!
But just as they were talking about it, more and more people in Tianjin City appeared. Not only did they show up, many noble families appeared, but there were also more wealthy businessmen. Even some people from civil servant families appeared here, and They all carried a large amount of silver and seemed to be participating in the auction. This made the nobles
I’m very unhappy. I feel that there are too many competitors and I have to spend more money to buy good products!
By the time the auction started, soldiers from the Wu'an Army were already standing around the Deyi Tea House. These soldiers surrounded the teahouse, and carts and carts of things were transported inside. The crowd watching the excitement was amazed, and they said that it was indeed a rare and big deal!
As the sky grew brighter, people started arriving one after another. The first ones to arrive were the nephews and nephews from various families wearing bright clothes and angry horses. When these young people heard about such an interesting thing, they all crawled out of the gentle village and came to the teahouse early to grab a good seat.
After that came the wealthy businessmen, and then the stewards of various families, including those from civil servant families, also arrived at the same time. There were no problems after they met with the people on Xungui's side, and they were very quiet. Because they are all servants, they cannot fight for their master's affairs, not to mention that no one dares to cause trouble in Liu Haojia's territory!
In less than half an hour, the teahouse was already full. Because the news spread relatively early, there were still people coming from Nanjing. But whether these people are interested in the auction items this time or in the process of obtaining the auction items is unknown!
Everyone sat down in the teahouse, and someone immediately brought them tea, gave each person a number plate, and asked them to sign on the back of the number plate. The manager in charge had an idea when he saw the number plate, but the dandies found it strange and pestered the waiter to ask.
The waiter said: "This number plate represents a family. When you see something you like, raise the number plate and call out the price. The highest bidder will win! At the same time, the store will also record the number of the number plate, and the auction is over. After that, the items will be delivered and the silver will be collected.”
After learning the function of the number plate, everyone nodded and thought it was a good idea. Someone else asked when it would start, and the waiter smiled and said, "It starts in a moment, please be patient!"
Sure enough, someone walked onto the high platform after a while. As soon as this person stepped onto the stage, he let out a burst of laughter and curses! It turned out that most of the housekeepers who frequented Tianjin knew this person.
This man's surname was Liu Shuo, and he turned out to be a storyteller. He has some skills when it comes to books, especially the atmosphere he creates! Later, for some reason, I ended up working as a storyteller at Deyi Tea House and worked as an auction host part-time.
