So he hesitated and finally broke the silence and said: "My lords, this luminous pearl is a good treasure that can be passed down to the family. Don't miss it! Such a big luminous pearl is a rare treasure that only happens once in a hundred years. No, it should be a rare treasure that only happens once in a thousand years. Got it! If you want it, please bid quickly!"
In this way, after he preached for a long time, a tentative voice finally said: "I will give you three thousand taels of silver!"
Hearing someone's quotation, everyone turned to look, wondering who was so bold? Liu Haojia didn't even look back, he just wanted to make a gesture to the host to speed up the auction.
When the excited host saw someone speaking, he immediately shouted: "Okay, okay! Someone has already made a bid. Is there anyone else who bids higher?"
At the same time, in order to delay time, the host introduced it again! When he finally finished the introduction and looked at the guests hopefully, one person finally said: "Three thousand two hundred taels!"
Seeing that someone finally raised the price, the host was ecstatic and became even more eloquent! Then people began to come out to quote one after another, and the atmosphere slowly became more lively! In the end, this luminous pearl was sold for thirteen thousand taels of silver!
As for who the buyer is, Liu Haojia has no interest in knowing! Anyway, when this guy took out the banknote, he basically wrote his name in the book of life and death of the Lord of Hell! And according to Liu Haojia's understanding, most of the people sitting here today have the method of death. Death sooner or later will lead to death! He might be happier if he died holding Ye Mingzhu in his arms!
Moreover, Liu Haojia has put a full lead lining in the box containing the luminous pearl, which is already protecting the owner's life to the maximum extent! He did what he could do, and let fate take care of the rest!
After the Night Pearl is sold, it marks the complete end of this auction! Everyone was excited to discuss today’s harvest with the people around them! They also congratulated each other on buying their favorite baby, and the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious!
At this time, rows of maids appeared and gave the auction items to the buyers! Then the Jin Yiwei will escort them back! As for the curfew in Nanjing, it is useless to these people!
After everyone was sent away, Liu Haojia stretched and said, "After the results are calculated, report them to me tomorrow morning!"
After that, he left in a big way, leaving a lot of people to clean up the mess!
Early the next morning, Liu Haojia received the account book from the accountant! He opened it and smiled proudly! This auction earned more than two million taels of silver!
This number may seem high, but in fact it is much lower than his real expected income! Because this time only less than one-third of the total antique treasures were auctioned! There is still one third of the items to be auctioned in the capital!
The remaining part will be held in another auction in Tianjin, and the audience of this auction is businessmen! Their status is low, so if they have good things, they must first let the officials and gentry buy them first, and then they can take the rest!
Of course, there are still a small number of exquisite products to be sent to the palace! Some of it will be sold to friends and allies at low prices. After all, both modern times and the Ming Dynasty are humanistic societies, which cannot be avoided! This amount of money, plus the millions of money copied out, almost exceeds 10 million taels!
And there is a large amount of income not included in this, which is the land, real estate, shops, etc. in the homes of salt merchants and officials, as well as some large items that are difficult to move. Selling these things will bring a lot of money! A rough estimate, excluding the rewards and rewards, can earn at least 16 million taels of silver!
After reading the account book, Liu Haojia asked: "Have the teams from all over the country arrived to transport money?"
Mr. Accountant said: "It's not all here yet! Even if it's all here, I won't be able to leave Nanjing in a short time! The silver will have to be recast!"
Liu Haojia waved his hands and said: "You should think more! Wouldn't you exchange the scattered silver for some official silver locally? The local government has a lot of official silver in stock. Go to them to exchange it! Give more It’s just a waste of fire!”
Mr. Accountant said in embarrassment: "Sir, I have already exchanged a batch of official silver with the government. The fire cost was three points! But the little official silver saved in the government is not enough, so I want to
Now, would you please come forward to exchange a batch of silver for the nobles in Nanjing? This might be a little faster. "
Hearing this, Liu Haojia laughed and said, "You don't have to think about this! Except for a limited number of families except Xu Guogong's mansion, I'm afraid no one would dare to exchange their official silver with us!"
The accountant said in surprise: "How could it be? Our house has a high fire cost. We also got a favor from the adults. There is no reason to refuse!"
Liu Haojia said with a smile: "They absolutely don't dare! That's because they are afraid that they are just searching for the next house raid!"
The accountant's face turned red after hearing this! I couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and finally I suppressed a series of coughs!
Liu Haojia waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can go and do your work. Try to urge them to melt the money, but the time must be accelerated. I must rush back to the capital as soon as possible."
However, Liu Haojia still wrote a letter to Xu Guogong, asking him to come forward to raise a batch of official silver in exchange for the non-standard silver in Liu Haojia's hands. As for the rest, it all depends on recasting!
After being busy like this for more than twenty days, I finally completed all the preparations and could finally return to the capital.
On the day Liu Haojia left, almost half of the people in Nanjing came out to watch the fun! Because the news had already spread, saying that this time the Jinyiwei commander would personally escort the confiscated silver back to the capital. There are millions of taels of silver and a lot of rare treasures!
You know, in this era of Ming Dynasty, there was basically no concept of confidentiality. The officers and soldiers who participated in the house raid would brag about their personal experiences as their qualifications! The officials who handle it will also use this matter as a talking point. As for the servant who followed his master into the auction, he showed off to others what he saw and heard that day. Even the porters would brag about how many boxes of silver they carried on a given day!
Under the publicity of many people, everyone knew that the silver shipped back to the capital this time would be an astronomical figure! So they naturally wanted to watch the excitement driven by curiosity! So the road from the military camp where the silver was stored to the Yangtze River pier was packed with people!
If there weren't soldiers every few steps to maintain order, I'm afraid the streets wouldn't be able to accommodate so many people! At this time, on the way from the military camp to the dock, it is really a post every three steps, and a sentry every five steps! Dense soldiers ensured the complete smooth flow of the road.
