Wang Ben's words echoed in the hall, and the noisy crowd quieted down.
Zhu Qiu's face turned ugly. There were not many people in Xianyang who dared to talk to him like this.
Just as she was about to get angry, she turned around and saw that it was Wang Ben who had spoken.
He could only cough dryly and sit down.
Even though he was one of the top merchants in Great Qin, he was nothing in front of Wang Ben.
If he really offended this person, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.
The hall was silent and Shen Wansan laughed,"Everyone, the auction will now officially begin. The starting bid for each jar of Drunken Immortal Brew is 1,000 gold. Each bid must not be less than 100 gold.”
"The first batch of Drunken Immortal Brew will now be auctioned. There will be five jars, and the starting bid will be 5,000 Gold.”
As soon as Shen Wansan finished speaking, the crowd was filled with exclamations.
"What is it? Did I hear wrongly? The starting price for each jar is 1,000 Gold?"
"This... Although this wine was good, it was not worth a thousand gold.”
"How is this selling wine? This is clearly robbing money.”
Just as everyone was discussing, a loud shout sounded,
"I want this first batch of wine. I'm willing to pay five thousand gold.”
Immediately after, another loud voice shouted,"A bunch of poor people. I'll buy this immortal wine even if it costs ten thousand gold, let alone thousands of gold!”
"I bid 5,100 Gold."
Ying Yu, who was sipping tea leisurely at the side, almost couldn't laugh out loud.
If he didn't know that Shen Wansan didn't ask for help, he would have thought that he was one of them. This map cannon was really good.
As soon as he said this, many people probably had to bid for it even if they did not want to buy it for the sake of face.
"I bid 5,200 Gold."
"I bid 5,300 Gold."
"I bid 5,800 gold."
Just as Ying Ziyu had expected, everyone started to bid.
Young Master is willing to bid 6,000 gold."
The people who were about to continue bidding were stunned and quickly shut up.
Since the Young Master had offered a high price, they did not dare to compete with him. For a moment, no one spoke.
Seeing this, Shen Wansan picked up the gong on the table and shouted,""Young Master has raised the bid by 6,000 gold. Is there anyone else who wishes to bid?”
"Six thousand gold, going once."
"Six thousand gold, going twice."
"6,000 gold, going thrice, sold!”
"Congratulations to Gongzi Gao for winning the first batch of Drunken Immortal Brew.”
As the gong sounded, the first batch of five jars of Drunken Immortal Brew was successfully auctioned off.
Ying Ziyu, who was standing at the side, had a smile on his face. Although he had expected this, he couldn't help but feel excited when the truth came.
This money was too easy to earn.
Five jars of wine had brought him 6,000 Gold in profit, yet the cost was less than 100 Gold.
For this auction, Ying Yu had prepared fifty jars of wine, which would be auctioned in ten batches.
According to this trend, the next few batches would definitely break through 10,000.
"Congratulations to Young Master for winning the first place. We will now begin the auction for the second batch of Drunken Immortal Brew. It is still five jars, and the starting price is still 1,000 gold coins.”
As soon as Shen Wansan finished speaking, everyone immediately competed to bid.
"This second batch of Drunken Immortal Brew, Young Master Jin Ben wants it for six thousand.”
A loud voice rang out. When everyone saw that the person who spoke was Young Master Jiang Lu, they could only shut their mouths helplessly.
Jiang Lu opened his mouth, and similarly, no one dared to bid. This second batch of Drunken Immortal Brew naturally belonged to him.
The third and fourth batches were sold to Feng Quji and Meng Yi for 7,000 gold.
When the fifth batch began to be auctioned, no one immediately called out a price.
After waiting for a few breaths to make sure that no big shots spoke, they all shouted their prices.
"Old General Wang Jian is addicted to wine. Does Marquis Tong Wu not intend to buy a batch of Drunken Immortal Brew for the old general to taste?”
Seeing that Wang Ben didn't say anything, Feng Quji asked with a smug look on his face. Wang Ben snorted coldly,"It's just a few jars of wine, why are you so smug?"
I have a car at home. Am I proud? However, Wang Ben knew that he couldn't tell anyone about it.
Therefore, he only snorted coldly and did not say anything else!
Feng Quji chuckled when he saw Wang Ben's silence. He thought that Wang Ben was just too poor to make a bid.
The auction continued. Without the participation of these big shots, the bidding became more and more intense. By the seventh batch, the price had already exceeded 10,000.
Shen Wansan, who was in charge of hosting the auction, was so happy that his eyes could not be seen.
After another two rounds of intense competition, the auction was coming to an end.
The price had also been raised to 15,000 Gold.
Not only did such a sky-high price not dissuade these people, but it also showed a trend of demand exceeding supply.
It made Ying Ziyu want to take out another 180 jars for auction.
However, he knew that the rarer something was, the more valuable it was. The reason why this wine could be sold at such a high price was because it was indeed delicious and because it was scarce.
In the eyes of the nobles and wealthy merchants, this Drunken Immortal Brew was definitely not bad.
It was very likely that there would be no more in the future, so many people were willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
However, once there was more wine, it would be different.
As the crowd continued to bid, the last batch of Drunken Immortal Brew was auctioned off at the sky-high price of 25,000 gold.
Ying Ziyu couldn't help but sigh. These nobles were too f * cking rich.
By now, all fifty jars of Drunken Immortal Brew had been sold, bringing Ying Yu close to 100,000 gold.
100,000 Gold!
With this 100,000 gold, the Cemetery of Martyrs and the Royal Academy could be built.
The auction was finally over.
Of course, the money would only be received tomorrow. No one would bring so much gold with them.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't carry it!
At this moment, the eastern patrol army was about to reach the Eastern Sea.
Along the way, Shi Huang observed the landscape of the Great Qin Empire and the local customs. During this period of time, Shi Huang had been practicing the Dragon God Technique that Ying Yu had given him. He practiced the movements on the scroll every day and matched it with the prescription recorded in it. Brother Zheng was pleasantly surprised to find that he had become younger.
Although it was not obvious, he could clearly feel the changes in his body.
"Your Majesty, urgent report from Xianyang!"
Just as Shi Huang was deep in thought, Zhang Han's voice sounded from outside the carriage.
"Hand it over."
The First Emperor slowly opened his eyes, his emotions unreadable.
When the new Zhongche Prefecture Magistrate Liu Shu heard this, he quickly got out of the car and came in front of Zhang Han. He received the secret letter and handed it to Qin Shi Huang.
Looking at the secret letter in his hand, the First Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly. On it were written the words " His Majesty's personal letter ". However, what made the First Emperor's eyes turn solemn was not these words, but the material of this secret letter. He had never seen such a material before.
It was smooth in his hand and as light as a feather!
Could this be the paper that Yu 'er mentioned not long ago? Thinking of this, the First Emperor impatiently opened the secret letter.
What entered his eyes was a line of small words. Shi Huang recognized this notebook. It was written by Meng Yi.
"Civil and Military Science and Technology System!"
"Performance appraisal system!"
After reading the secret letter, the First Emperor began to consider the feasibility of these two systems.
Suddenly, an eagle's cry rang out, interrupting Shi Huang's thoughts. Shi Huang opened the window and looked out. He saw a huge goshawk circling in the sky.
The cries of the eagles were incessant, making Brother Zheng upset.
"Why does it keep circling around my warm carriage?”
The surrounding officials and chamberlains all remained silent. Everyone could tell that the First Emperor was not in a particularly good mood. If he did not like it, he would be beheaded.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Shu thought for a moment and said loudly,"Your Majesty, this goshawk might want to witness your elegance.”
Look, people who can talk are indeed different.
"It could also be a warning to His Majesty.”
Shi Huang, who was already smiling, immediately changed his expression."Why did Cunxiao say that?"
However, it could be seen that the First Emperor had no intention of blaming Li Cunxiao.
"Your Majesty, this place is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and the ravines are the most suitable for an ambush…"
"Ambush?"
Before Li Cunxiao could finish his words, a minister at the side immediately said disdainfully,"The world is clear and the road is smooth. A hundred thousand soldiers are guarding Your Majesty. Who dares to ambush you?”
Li Cunxiao snorted coldly and did not continue speaking.
"Your Majesty, I think what General Li said makes sense.”
Zhang Han looked at the surrounding terrain. It was indeed as Li Cunxiao said, suitable for an ambush.
" Yes." The First Emperor nodded." Order the front troops to investigate the surroundings strictly. All troops, speed up and pass through this place as soon as possible."”
"Yes!"
When the First Emperor spoke, the others naturally didn't dare to say anything more.
It had to be said that Li Cunxiao's sense of smell was really sharp. He was right. There were really people ambushing here, and they were from two forces.
In a cave not far from the eastern patrol army.
"Mister Zifang, we are commoners, we only have lowly lives. If we die, so be it. Why do you have to follow us to die?”
That's right, the ambushers were Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, the descendants of the fifth generation of Minister Han.
