That day, a notice was posted on the notice board outside Kaifeng Mansion. Three days later, a bidding process was held at the Huyin Bin House in Kaifeng Mansion. The subject of the bidding was the plot of land located at the intersection of Bianhe Street and Majing Street.
The special thing is that this plot of land has now been conscripted by the imperial court and dug into a temporary river. It is more appropriate to say that it is a plot of land than a pie drawn on paper.
Bidding for this piece of official land at auction at this time is equivalent to nothing, but the people of Bianjing are very smart. God knows when the official palace will be built, and once the temporary dug river is built, there is no telling whether it will be filled back in the years of the monkey.
We don’t know when the river will be backfilled again, which means we don’t know when we will get the land. The right to use it is entirely on paper!
Moreover, this land is not a cheap thing, it costs a lot of money. Lei Yungong used the means to acquire the land at the beginning and it didn't cost much. Now that the land of the imperial court is for sale, who dares to use the means of the imperial court? People from the government More to make money!
Anyone with a discerning eye will know that selling land at this time means that the court must be short of money! Buy low, sell high, even if none of the residents who originally lived here wanted to redeem their land, just because they couldn't afford it!
It takes three to five years to build a palace, which is considered fast, and ten to eight years is even more common. If the money is spent on Kaifeng Mansion and it takes more than ten years to get the land, then who can bear it?
This temporary river channel is for the officials to build palaces. Who knows if the officials will see that the construction is successful and take this opportunity to build other palaces as well?
Under all kinds of worries, everyone who was waiting and watching had only one thought. They were afraid that they would never be able to get this piece of land in this life. What was the use of just having the land deed of Kaifeng Mansion? Kaifeng Mansion is also a watchdog raised by the officials. Do they still dare to bark at their master?
The bidding notice came out.
There was another uproar.
Everyone looked at who was bidding on the list? Zhao Zong'e, the young father-in-law of Zhao Yunning's family, the king of Xin'an County! That is the number one dandy in Bianjingtian. Who dares to snatch something he likes? If you have your life, you may lose your life, right?
But not participating does not mean that they do not want to watch the fun. The Yinbin Room, like the main hall, is the place where Kaifeng Mansion handles external affairs. People can supervise the actions of the government in these places. To put it bluntly, they just want to watch the fun. Common people also like such activities. In an era when legal knowledge was scarce, this kind of thing was much more interesting than watching a play.
Liang Chuan and Zhao Zong'e both received invitations to rent houses in Kaifeng Prefecture. In order to support Liang Chuan's bidding activities, Sun Houpu had already written a document back to Qingyuan and made a bold decision that even Liang Chuan could not think of!
He had no share in the Sun family's wealth. In this case, he officially decided to separate the family and start an independent business from then on. What kind of determination is this? As the eldest son of the Sun family, although he cannot inherit all of the Sun family's property, it is still appropriate to receive several percent of the property. As soon as Sun Houpu's decision came out, he would not be able to get a single copper. From now on, he would be reduced to begging on the street, and the Sun family would not look at him with pity.
The Sun family cannot give Sun Hou 50% of the family wealth, but 10 to 20% is still appropriate. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can be so rich that he can rival the country!
The whole thing is going to be ruined, success or failure all depends on Liang Chuan!
Sun Houpu made a promise to Liang Chuan in front of everyone, and he would fight Zhao Zonge to the end within the scope of all his family wealth, at all costs.
Sun Houpu was not stupid. On the contrary, he saw from Liang Chuan the story of how Lu Buwei made a fortune and lived with rare goods. He often thought, why couldn't he also take a gamble?
It was in Bianjing that Sun Houpu realized that sometimes having more money is not necessarily easy to use. Life is not just about money and business. When Liang Chuan was down and out, there were people following him. This was not because of whether he had money, but because of the way he was as a person.
Sun Houpu felt that he might lack this quality in himself. If one day he learned this quality from Liang Chuan, who knows what achievements he would have?
Everyone watched this young man play so big and they all admired him sincerely. Sun Houpu is indeed from a family that does big business. When he invests, all the cards on the table are played. Grandma, this is what he does for big things. material.
Sun Houpu, as his future partner, had agreed on the capital contribution at the beginning. Liang Chuan and he would provide the technology and Sun Houpu would pay for it, and the two would share it proportionally. Although this urban complex would cost a lot of money, it would not require Sun Houpu to give up all his belongings.
Sun Houpu had another consideration in doing this. He was determined to bet all his money on Liang Chuan. If something happened to Liang Chuan in the future and he lost the bet, he would not implicate the Sun family in Qingyuan. This was different from the original Liang Chuan. The advice to him coincided with each other.
You can't put all your eggs in one basket, it will be a disaster if they are broken.
Three days later, Sun Houpu showed up at the Yinbin Room in Kaifeng Mansion with Liang Chuan, Qin Jing, Yu Chitian, Yelu Chongguang and others with various land deeds and money house deeds.
This bidding event was a big deal, and Mr. Hufang reported it to Governor Cheng Lin early. He, a small official, didn't want to take on such a big responsibility.
Cheng Lin works at the feet of the emperor, and she deals with the children of these princes and nobles almost every day. She often fights small lawsuits. On the left is the family member of a court official's family, and on the right is the best friend of a general. Although handling such cases is difficult, it is not impossible. experience.
When he saw that the first person on the bidding list was Zhao Zong'e, he frowned first, and then looked at the other person. It was Liang Chuan who helped him solve the murder case of Yang Ercai and Yang Big Eyes that day. Later, he didn't know how to stay with Ding Wei, and still He made a splash at Lu Yijian's farewell banquet. Recently, there were rumors in the DPRK that Liang Chuan had a profound and unfathomable background. .
He looked at Liang Chuan's name and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
This Liang Chuan can be said to be a rising star in Bianjing City now, and he will still have a figure like Ding Wei. If there are no accidents, Ding Wei will give him a hint in the future, and he will rise straight up, from a domestic slave to an important minister in the court. , it is not impossible! But, how could Zhao Zonge get involved here?
This giant crocodile has always been a ruthless character who pursues profits and fattening. Could it be that he? .
Cheng Lin's many years of experience as a veteran in officialdom told him that only people with strong backing would dare to have trouble with an unreasonable yamen like Zhao Zong'e.
A big taboo in officialdom is not to offend someone without knowing it. It is better to know clearly what big shot you have offended than to invite people to plot behind your back without knowing it. In Liang Chuanming's eyes, he is Ding Wei's manager, but it is said that there is any big force behind him to support him?
Who else is greater than Dingwei? One is Empress Dowager Liu and the other is an official, gone.
Cheng Lin is rational. The Queen Mother and the official family will know a slave of Ding Wei's family. Isn't this a joke if word spreads about it? If the spy was installed, now everyone in the court knows that this person has some background, why would he be so careless?
After much deliberation, I came to the conclusion that this trip to the muddy water must not touch me. I must not be careless while sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight.
Zhao Zong'e came slowly, followed by a group of servants. In the past, Wang Deyong and Yang Qi would hang out with him from time to time. Since Yang Qi was sent to the northwest, even Wang Deyong didn't dare to show off much anymore and kept a low profile with his tail between his legs.
In Yinbin's room, Zhao Zong'e sat on the left, and Liang Chuan and Sun Houpu sat on the right. Zhao Zong'e straddled Erlang's legs with a cynical attitude, while Liang Chuan and Sun Houpu sat upright, not even leaning on the back of the Grand Master's chair.
Zhao Zong'e didn't recognize Sun Houpu and asked with disdain, "Where did you come from?"
Sun Houpu looked at Liang Chuan, but he didn't know what to call himself now.
Liang Chuan said: "This is my comrade-in-arms, Qingyuan Sun."
Zhao Zong'e rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky. When would he, the young father-in-law, sit on an equal footing with these low-level people? This made him feel that he was cheap. He had never heard of any nonsense about the Qingyuan Sun family. , just said: "You southern barbarians don't stay well in your hometown and insist on coming here to join in the fun. Why do you have to recruit people to make up the money if you don't have enough money?"
As expected, the dude talks like a dude and is very professional.
Liang Chuan ignored his sarcasm and said to Cheng Lin: "Sir, it's almost time and your house has not received any bid applications from other people. Why don't we start earlier so that we can go through the formalities after the bidding is over?"
Cheng Lin nodded and said: "Han Tiesi, please read the rules loudly!"
It turns out that the clerk's surname is Han. He is not in charge today. He only needs to be responsible for the job. He is not required to take responsibility. The pressure on him is gone, and he looks naturally good.
The clerk said loudly: "The subject of this bidding is the plot of land at the intersection of Bianhe Street and Maxing Street. The deposit is 50,000 guan. The starting price of the bidding is 50,000 guan. Each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 guan. There is no upper limit. Both bidders The highest bidder will get the land. If the winner fails to pay off the bid on the spot, it will be considered as giving up. The government will confiscate the deposit of 50,000 guan, and the land will be obtained by the other party, and the winner only needs to pay 50,000 guan."
Sun Houpu glanced at Liang Chuan and whispered in his ear: "This Kaifeng Mansion is really good. It can earn at least 50,000 yuan no matter what. The other party will definitely not be short of money. If it is set like this, I don't think this land is worth it." Less than 100,000 guan, otherwise as long as one party breaks the contract, they will immediately get 100,000 guan, which is equivalent to selling the land twice!"
Liang Chuan said: "A little money doesn't matter."
Sun Houpu's heart was bleeding, and he thought to himself: It doesn't matter to you, there are so many ways to make money, and we selling tea can be regarded as a very profitable business. It feels like we can make money faster than you can just talk!
After the document read out the rules, he asked both parties: "If you two don't understand the rules, you can no longer raise objections to the rules once the bidding starts. Mr. Cheng is solely responsible for the explanation."
"Then let's get started."
"Both parties will count the deposits and hand them over to our department."
Liang Chuan said: "It's too troublesome to get cash. You can use the house deed to cover it."
"Of course you can. All goods of equal value are acceptable."
Both parties immediately took out a large number of land deeds and real estate shops of equal value.
The paperwork checked the deposits of both parties and they were correct.
The clerk turned to Cheng Lin and said, "Sir, you can start."
Cheng Lin nodded.
The clerk said loudly: "This time, the free bidding for both parties begins!"
Zhao Zonge was quite surprised when he heard this rule!
Zhao Zong'e didn't want this land, and he didn't know when he would get it. He first learned from Qing Ji that Liang Chuan was interested in this land, and immediately stepped in to defraud Liang Chuan. Good thing.
God knows when I can get it, and it's not a geomantic treasure. If I open a brothel, I'm afraid no one will patronize it, so why use it? Can’t raise pigs?
Liang Chuan wanted it, but he didn't want Liang Chuan to get it so easily! Even if you let him get it, you will have to make him bleed a lot!
"Fifty-one thousand strings!"
Zhao Zonge leisurely sipped tea, looking calm and calm.
There are many businessmen from Bianjing City surrounding Yinbin's house. Some of them are also interested in this land, but they all have a common understanding, that is, they cannot offend Zhao Zong'e and simply treat it as a fun. Seeing how determined Zhao Zonge was, they all felt a little anxious for Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan rolled his eyes at Zhao Zong'e, "You can only increase the price by a thousand guan at a time, so you really want to make it clear that you don't want to buy the land, so you just want to cause trouble."
Sun Houpu also noticed it and whispered: "Third brother, he didn't mean to buy land."
Liang Chuan did not hesitate and said loudly: "One hundred thousand strings!"
Liang Chuan raised the corner of his mouth and looked down on Zhao Zong'e. If you come to cause trouble, I will be as ruthless as you are. There is no need to add a thousand guans at a time. Let's do something simple and directly express my attitude!
As soon as Liang Chuan's quotation came out, Zhao Zong'e shuddered and his tongue burned with tea. This kid is so big, it seems he really wants this land!
Okay, since you think this way, I would be really sorry for myself if I didn't let you really bleed.
The crowd watching the excitement outside the room immediately doubled up when they heard Liang Chuan's bid, and the whole place was excited. Although this piece of land is worth a little money, it definitely doesn't cost more than 100,000 yuan. This Liang Chuan's offer is really generous. ah!
Some people have noticed that it was Liang Chuan who sold bricks on Bianhe Street last time. Everyone started talking, it turned out to be him!
Zhao Zong'e said: "One hundred and eleven thousand strings!"
He doesn't add much, but every time he adds a thousand guan more than Liang Chuan, it will piss you off! If you have the ability, keep adding more. Anyway, I have a thousand guan more than you!
"One hundred and fifty thousand strings!"
Liang Chuan didn't hesitate. The price increase was 50,000 yuan. Everyone outside the room was infected by the arrogance exuding from Liang Chuan. Your mother, this is a big deal. The price is so high without blinking an eye. Looking at Zhao Zonge, this kid was more like a kid playing house than buying land. Everyone suddenly looked down on him.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Zong'e at this time, hoping that he would join them again.
150,000 yuan is enough to buy three pieces of land on Bianhe Street. If you add more, it will be a loss.
If you add a little more to this money, you can even buy the most prosperous shop on Maxing Street! Who would be willing to spend so much money to buy such a piece of land in such a remote place where birds don't shit?
Liang Chuan deliberately provoked Zhao Zong'e and said, "Young Master, if you are so noble, just give this land to me. Why do you need to be the same as me?"
In fact, Zhao Zonge had already had a vague idea in his mind at this time. Could this be a trap? What if he increased the price and spent 150,000 yuan to buy such a bad river?
However, under the stimulation of Liang Chuan, there were countless eyes staring at him. Zhao Zonge felt that he had been greatly humiliated. When did he start to worry about money? Moreover, he was forced by a barbarian, and he felt cruel. He said angrily: "One hundred and fifty-one thousand strings!"
Hiss, everyone took a breath of cold air.
Grandma, these royal relatives are indeed different, they have a bit of confidence!
The two sides have reached the point of fighting with bayonets. This 150,000 guan is by no means a small amount. You must know that the annual coins given to the Liao Kingdom are only 100,000 guan a year. The 150,000 guan was buried underground just for that piece of land. Gold doesn't work?
Everyone immediately turned their attention to Liang Chuan. Next, they will see how this little brother named Liang Chuan is doing. Can he knock down the prestige of Xin'an County Prince's Palace and make us ordinary people feel proud and proud! Everyone stared directly at Liang Chuan, expecting him to take action again!
Countless scorching eyes were shot at Liang Chuan. If he gave up at this time, it would be a joke. Liang Chuan had made up his mind to make a career in Bianjing. At this time, there was reason to back down. How could the young master be so lucky? If you don't suppress his momentum, will your own territory not be accessible to anyone who wants to?
Liang Chuan did not disappoint everyone. He said confidently and gracefully: "Two hundred thousand yuan!"
Two hundred thousand dollars!
I believe that except for Cheng Lin, Zhao Zonge and Sun Houpu, no one here has seen what two hundred thousand guan looks like!
Everyone took a breath of cold air. Even Zhao Zong'e was stunned. His mouth was a little dry. He glanced at Liang Chuan blankly. Two hundred thousand guan. He didn't know what to say at this moment. What if this was allowed to happen? If he really took the picture, he wouldn't be able to take it out immediately. With so much money, just carrying silver on a load can fill the Yinbin Room.
Everyone started to get a little suspicious. The two of them were fighting to the death, but instead they felt like they were cheating, just like playing house. . .
Everyone was a little worried about Liang Chuan. Everyone always thought that Zhao Zong'e was here to play, but now it seemed that Liang Chuan was here to play.
But if he dares to gamble with two hundred thousand yuan, he still has to bet with Cheng Linhao of Kaifeng Mansion. Regardless of whether he is here for fun or not, his heroic spirit today has already made him famous in Bianjing.
Cheng Lin is not a good person. If Liang Chuan dares to treat him like a monkey today, Cheng Lin will dare to ask Liang Chuan to open the Tianling Gai and eat the monkey's brain!
Cheng Lin also felt that something was wrong. The two of them felt like they were trying to get around each other. As the host, he still said: "Liang Chuan, I would like to tell you that two hundred thousand guan is not 20 guan. You won't be able to take it out for a while. Not only does the land belong to Zhao Zong'e, but also your 50,000 guan deposit book." The government will also confiscate everything!"
Liang Chuan took out a piece of slightly yellowed paper from his arms and said: "These are two IOUs issued by the Pu family and the Wu family of Qingyuan. The debt is one million yuan each. The Wu family and the Pu family of Qingyuan Everyone can go and find out, everyone in Nanyang is doing expensive business, and you can ask anyone on the road how much their wealth is!"
The clerk took the IOU in Liang Chuan's hand and saw that it actually had the official seal of Quanzhou Prefecture. This official seal of the government was not something anyone would dare to forge randomly. When he came to Qingyuan and asked if it was a fake, Liang Chuan's head immediately fell to the ground. Today in full view of everyone Liang Chuan doesn't need to take such a big risk!
Quanzhou is very rich, and Zhao Weixian doesn't just want to be a rich prince there. This is something everyone in Bianjing knows.
It is not unusual for the government to come forward to guarantee businessmen. On the contrary, in a city like Quanzhou that is famous for its commerce, such an IOU is even more reasonable.
Since there is a government guarantee, there is no doubt that it is real. Each of them is owed one million yuan.
Cheng Lin looked at the document and got a positive answer.
Two million strings! God, no wonder Liang Chuan didn't take the two hundred thousand guan seriously, and the scene exploded. Today was really a good show, with so much money in hand, no wonder Liang Chuan was acting like a house, but he wasn't just doing it. Every family.
Zhao Zong'e didn't believe it. He guessed that this was Liang Chuan's trick. He moved over and saw the two IOUs with his own eyes. He complained in his heart, "This is really two million!"
If one plan doesn't work, then do the opposite!
At this time, Zhao Zong'e felt bad in his heart. Since there is so much money, let me let you bleed a little more. I don't want the land. If you want it, just pay a little more!
He added the bid again and said: "Two hundred thousand and one thousand!"
After saying that, he looked at Liang Chuan with a ferocious smile, "Aren't you rich? You can add more!"
Everyone swallowed hard. These two men did not regard money as money. It was clearly a fight between gods. If this fight continues, Kaifeng Mansion will make a lot of money!
Everyone was looking forward to Liang Chuan being domineering again, but Liang Chuan suddenly changed his tone and said, "Young Master is indeed so arrogant. I have revealed my wealth and Young Master is still so persistent. In this case, I can't take advantage of others. This is I will give the land to the young father-in-law!"
What!
Everyone is still waiting for Liang Chuan to kill again, and they still have two million IOUs in their hands, why don't they pay?
Even Zhao Zonge was dumbfounded.
You are so fucking shameless!
You want the land and you pay the price. Just fish me out and forget about it?
In Zhao Zong'e's heart, ten thousand grass and mud horses ran past and turned to stone on the spot. It turned out that he was the monkey, making people play around!
The group of people behind Liang Chuan suppressed the laughter in their hearts. As expected, his boss never spared anyone a trick. Now it depends on whether Zhao Zong'e has 200,000 yuan!
