Section 128
The two people stirred for unknown amounts of time before finally stirring a jar of medicinal residue into a gelatinous substance!
Just when the two of them wanted to rest, Zhu Zhankan came to the two of them again with a kind smile.
When he arrived, he also brought two full tanks of medicine residue with him!
Sixth child! Sixth child! You old man!
I don’t know why, Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhankan wanted to shout this word in their hearts!
Chapter 137 The Chamber of Commerce’s Second Auction
"It's too difficult, it's really too difficult!" Zhu Zhanji looked like a salted fish who had lost his dream.
Collapsed next to the futon used for refining medicine!
The fifth oldest person next to him, Zhu Zhanyi, also looked tired.
Although the process of refining medicine is very difficult, the process of refining medicine still brings many benefits to them.
At this moment, Zhu Zhankan's voice, which sounded like a god and a wraith, sounded from their ears.
"You have worked hard in the process of refining medicine these two days. Just continue to work hard in the future. Okay, go back and rest first!" Zhu Zhankan said.
Oh my God! I can finally go home and rest!
Zhu Zhanji's life of refining medicine these two days has simply changed his world view!
How come there are medicinal materials that smell so smelly!
The eldest brother and the fifth child left Jingxin Mansion with the smell of medicine all over their bodies.
Zhu Zhankan came to North Street.
He seemed to smell a familiar smell!
That's what an auction smells like!
Looking at the manpower organizing the auction, it was still the manpower organized by the Salt Transport Chamber of Commerce last time.
"It's interesting, you actually organized another auction?"
"How much time has passed now, and those businessmen are rich again? It's impossible, right?"
Zhu Zhankan grabbed a folding fan and walked towards the familiar street.
Familiar auction stage, familiar auctioneer.
There were also familiar business gang representatives such as Wang Guangzhong from Shanxi merchants and Ma Ting from Huizhou merchants who were also sitting in the audience.
The successful holding of the last salt auction gave them a good opportunity to earn a discount.
In the name of the imperial court, while transporting salt, he also resold some of his own goods.
Although it's true that you can't make that much money from salt.
Sometimes, you will lose a little money by transporting salt to remote areas, but you can make a lot of money from other goods!
Besides, things are rare and expensive, and you can make money wherever you make the difference!
Moreover, the imperial court is not a fool who only wants to make a profit, so how can it really prevent them from making a penny?
Besides, making money or not is another matter, just the business school established under the auspices of the emperor.
That is a good opportunity that they could not ask for in eight lifetimes!
You will get an official position after graduation. Whether you are studying or becoming an official in the future, the journey is almost smooth.
Therefore, when they heard that the Salt Transport Chamber of Commerce was starting its second auction, everyone got together enthusiastically, preparing to continue to give the emperor a big face and exchange for some real benefits.
However, this auction is naturally very different from the last one.
This auction was obviously not as prestigious as the last one, and almost no distinguished officials attended.
And the person hosting the auction is also a little-known newcomer.
Wang Guangzhong from Shanxi merchants secretly shook his head. It seemed that nothing important would appear in today's auction.
"Dear guests, welcome to our auction."
The new host, holding the familiar auction gavel, walked to the auction stage with a warm smile on his face.
It's just that the aura is far inferior to those old people who engage in auctions.
But this is normal, you should always give new people a chance.
"I bet you readers made a lot of money in the last auction, right? Today's auction will not disappoint everyone." The new host said with high spirits.
As soon as these words came out, many businessmen in the audience became interested.
The auction of the Salt Transport Chamber of Commerce is a large auction with a royal background.
Naturally, they won't just promote the advantages of their own goods like a folk sideshow.
Since the other party really said that today's goods will satisfy everyone, maybe they will actually come up with some amazing treasures.
Most of the businessmen who can appear here are not simple businessmen.
They travel far and wide, and their knowledge is far beyond what ordinary people can match.
Many people may spend their entire lives never leaving their county.
Of course, if you are fleeing, that's a different story.
And merchants, especially those who travel around and bring goods to the Ming Dynasty, can almost discover many details of the Ming Dynasty.
As a businessman, since you can make a fortune, keen observation is the most basic basic skill.
They naturally noticed that some kind of magical change seemed to have occurred in Ming Dynasty.
Unprecedented and unheard of strange things began to appear in many places.
The anecdotes may not all be true, but many of them have confirmed that real supernatural events have occurred!
There are a lot of things involved!
Who knows if the imperial court has similar information?
"Without further ado, the first auction item today is a glass jar from the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty!"
Zhu Zhankan laughed out loud when he saw the so-called earthen jar with colored glaze.
That was just a random mass production job he did when he was studying weapon refining.
In order to temper the heat, he directly created some signs of being left unfinished for a long time.
It is these traces that make this glazed earthen jar look much older.
When Wang Guangzhong heard that the first treasure was a glazed clay pot, he cast his eyes on the pot.
He frowned slightly.
Wang Guangzhong's fortune was not very glorious.
It can even be said that there is a businessman who is not very glorious.
His first pot of gold was a sum of gold that he cheated with fake cultural relics, and thus became rich.
And he took a look and concluded that this was not the style of the Tang Dynasty pot.
But after a second look, the style of the glazed pot was indeed very exquisite, and it also looked very old, which was completely consistent with the time from the Tang Dynasty.
This made Wang Guangzhong a little confused.
Could it be that this is a new type of pot that has never appeared in the Tang Dynasty?
There are indeed a few people with similar vision as Wang Guangzhong.
However, it is really difficult for them to be interested in such rare treasures.
They are businessmen, not antique dealers.
The first principle of collecting antiques is to maintain their value.
This antique is the most difficult to estimate the price of because it is unknown what style it is.
Since this earthenware jar is branded with the name of the Tang Dynasty, the price must be high.
If no one takes it, they can't afford it.
Not surprisingly, most merchants thought the same way, and they offered a small price and bought the goods.
The host was not very disappointed at this moment, as if he had expected it, but his shaking right hand still revealed his mood.
"The second auction item..."
This newcomer couldn't help but be nervous!
If the auction was cold because of him.
He might be in big trouble!
The auction was coming to an end in a blink of an eye, and the new host's cold sweat never stopped.
These things auctioned today could not arouse the interest of these big merchants at all.
On the contrary, many merchants have not even bid a price for the auction until now!
