Chapter 607 Dragon Heads Up (2)(2/3)

Now, I can only praise secretly, and at the same time I say disrespectfully in my stomach that the emperor is not confused yet. There is a reason for promoting the Cao family.

While speaking, the pen and post were already carrying the magnet with someone.

There are about ten pieces in total, all of which are one and a half inches wide, more than half a foot long and half an inch thick.

Before Cao Yong had thought about what to use for this "security check" equipment, someone came to report that several guards from the guard office had arrived and were outside, so he wanted to see the general manager.

Upon hearing this, Ma Qi, He Yi and others stood up, and Ma Qi asked, "Where are they coming from? Could it be that there is an order?"

When Ma Qi asked the question, he couldn't help but want to slap himself.

This message was said, but the word "Cao".

He hurriedly bowed and said, "Report to the master, those guards did not say that they wanted to pass the order, but only said that they were former colleagues from General Manager Cao who came to support him."

Cao Yong knew that it was Nalanfusen and the others who arrived.

It was a bit surprised, and with some joy, I parted with Ma Qi and He Yi, and took great strides to greet him.

Ma Qi and He Yi looked at each other and sat down again, and their expressions were not as comfortable as before.

Looking at the clean warehouse, there were various seats placed. Several tables, gongs, hammers and other items were already arranged on the two-foot platform.

There was a faint sound coming from outside, and the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were busy, carrying the silver into the warehouse and holding the booklets to keep the books, and they were very busy.

This so-called "buying of the Ministry of Internal Affairs" has not officially started, but now, Cao Yong's contribution cannot be eliminated.

What is it not "support"?

Because when Cao Yong started to organize this, the internal affairs office and the seven custodians below were both like a mess. Although later, because Cao Mansion Xixi died of illness, the bidding was taken over by the Sixteenth Prince. This made the people here dare not disobey the silence, but few people were willing to do their best.

This contribution has become the only one that Cao Yong has taken over.

If others want to get a share of the pie, they can't bear to face it.

Although Ma Qi and He Yi did not intend to give Cao Yong a warning, this made them look like they were useless...

Outside the warehouse, the people who came were Nalanfusen Nash Guards, Nalanfusen, Heshan, Shiyun and others.

Everyone had seen each other. Shi Yun looked behind Cao Yong and said with a smile: "Where is uncle? I have completed the task. Master Cao and uncle want to treat me to a good meal."

It turned out that their guards had rested yesterday and returned to Beijing from Tangquan Palace. After entering Andingmen, they met Seshtu.

Seshtu thought about the bidding the next day, so he asked everyone to come and shock the scene.

After all, wearing the guard's skin can also miss those rich people. It saves them a little money. If they really think they are the old man, they dare to speak loudly.

The bidding and tendering of the Office of the Internal Affairs has also caused a lot of controversy these days.

Nalanfusen and Heshan were not just colleagues with Cao Yong. They traveled around Mongolia several times, and their friendship was not a little bit. A few of them were the godfathers of Hang Seng.

When Cao Yong first arrived at the Office of the Interior, the water there was deep, so everyone was happy to go over and take a try.

So, we made an appointment to come over.

Yiduli was still free and easy yesterday, but today he became nervous again and recited silently with the manuscript of his speech.

According to his words, he memorized them all well, but when he stood on the platform, he felt that he forgot the words.

After hearing this, Cao Yong gave him a trick, writing some of the manuscripts in small regular script on the inside of the sleeve on the left. In this way, when you are nervous, you can look down and give a word.

Yiduli was overjoyed when he heard this. He immediately found the clerk and asked for ink and copied it in a quiet place.

Cao Yong was happy about the arrival of Nalanfusen and others, but he did not dare to use it lightly or seriously, which was easy to lose his word.

They can only be used as decorations for everyone to see that the imperial guards have arrived.

If they were really instructed to work, they would have a memorial from the censor tomorrow, impeaching Cao Yong for his crime of "arrogance", "rebellion", and "great disrespect".

Nalanfusen and Heshan also understood this, but they had met the greats of the Office of the Internal Affairs and then became spectators.

Shiyun was young and couldn't sit still. He watched Cao Yong ask someone to tie the magnetic strips to a two-foot-long narrow wooden board, and tightly curiously.

Cao Yong talked about how to use this item, and asked the commander of the guardian camp to call twenty guardians to serve as guards at the entrance. These ten magnetic stripes are used for "security inspection".

The first time Shi Yun saw this strange thing, he was reluctant to let go. The same guard changed his clothes temporarily and held his chest to serve as a guard.

He didn't care about wearing the clothes of the guards' camp. How could the guards dare to wear guards' uniforms and wander around in front of others?

Although he was interested in watching the fun, Shiyun also stuffed silver into his hand as he said good things. He didn't know what to say, so he asked a clerk and went to sleep in a remote place.

After all this struggle, it was almost noon.

The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have gone out and asked the merchants to line up according to the number plates they have in their hands and prepare to enter the venue.

In the venue, in addition to the opposite side of the hosting station, there are also many round tables on both sides of the east and west, which are for adults from other departments to observe.

This time is coming, and no one from other yamen is coming. Could it be that the six officials from the government offices sent someone to pick up posts yesterday? It was all a joke?

Everyone in the Office of the Internal Affairs was different, but Cao Yong started to get busy again.

The 200 auction positions were set earlier, and the 200 "donation" positions were gone, and many merchants were waiting to pay the deposit and collect the sign. There were even more people waiting for the "donation" position.

Cao Yong thought about it and said to the person who came to report: "Add a donation location and 800 taels of silver per location. Should the auction seats be added? Fifty. The first forty will be issued in order. The last ten will be issued, and the one who pays the highest deposit will be paid."

The head of the government was afraid of confusing Cao Yong's orders, so he repeated it and saw Cao Yong nodding before responding.

He Shan was beside him, pointing to the rows of chairs far away from the front desk, and asked, "What is the donation location? Is that there? What are the benefits? Can a chair be sold for 800?"

"It's just a matter of strangeness. Some merchants want their nephews to follow them to see some world." Cao Yong replied.

After a quarter of an hour, the sounds outside began to become complicated.

The previous chief returned, his face was flushed and he was so excited that he almost danced: "Sir, sir, the fifty bidding numbers have been shipped out. The ten numbers behind, ten numbers... were sold at a high price... No. 249 is 600,000 silver taels... No. 250 is 800,000 silver... Ten numbers total 285,000 tons..."

When others heard this, they only felt that the amount of money was more than hundreds of thousands or millions of taels, but they didn’t know how much it was.

The most shocking thing was Shang Zhishun, the doctor of Guangchusi.

You should know that last year, the salt and tea tax in the treasury collected a total of more than 3.74 million taels of silver.

On Cao Yong's side, the bidding has not yet begun. The deposit and donated silver accounted for more than 5.5 million taels.

This is just a margin. According to the bidding plan, the starting amount is three times the margin, and the transaction is expected to be more than five times. So how much money will be recorded at that time?

Cao Yong felt a lot of joy after hearing this number.

Even if two-thirds of the merchants fail in the auction, a small amount of 4 million yuan will be put into the treasury, and they can handle the war in the Northwest for a while. After the auction is successful, the income of the treasury will definitely be much greater than that of the treasury.

From this point of view, his ten million is quite eye-catching.

Although I have taken advantage of this money at once, I have really focused on it, but it has reached this point, and it is nonsense to worry about it anyway.

On the host stage, in addition to the case, there was also a clock temporarily borrowed by the warehouse.

As the bell of "Dangdang" was sounded, it was early noon (eleven o'clock in the afternoon).

Instructed by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Shi Yun and the soldiers from the military camp inspected one by one and let everyone enter the venue.

Ma Qi, Cao Yong and others had already disappeared, so that everyone would not kneel down and bow down when they saw him, which made the scene chaotic.

Although there were many people coming in, few people spoke, most of them took their number plates and found the corresponding chairs to sit in a very orderly manner.

When you meet an acquaintance, you don’t care about greetings, and you often nod your head.

Seeing that they were wearing them, many people used python satin, and it seemed that they had donated the top to wear it on their bodies.

Only 250 auction seats were filled with the two hundred and fifty "donation seats" entered the venue.

Shi Yun held up the magnetic plate and glanced at the daggers found on the tray on the edge, but he was amused and crying.

However, he was born as a merchant and had a village atmosphere. The daggers were mostly flower-shaped, inlaid with gold, jade and gems. They looked gorgeous and were light and fluttering in their hands, not like they were used for the top.

The twenty guards, including Shiyun, were divided into five groups for inspection, and the speed was very fast.

After a while, most of the time, I went in, leaving only a few people who fell into the ground.

Shiyun felt his arms were sore, and he was hoping that he would finish soon, change his clothes and go to the venue to watch the fun.

The person in front of him was slow and he didn't come forward. Shi Yun couldn't help but frown and waved, "Hey, hurry up, don't delay your efforts."

The man looked at the magnetic plate in his hand and then slowly stepped forward, leaned over and pulled out a deer-skin-shewn dagger from his boots, and whispered: "Is this temporarily put or should it be confiscated?"

Due to the movement of speaking, Shi Yun didn't hear it clearly. He held the magnetic plate and gestured to him while asking, "What are you going to take it away?"

The man was Han Jiang. Although he looked at it for a while and knew that the examination would not be done with his clothes, he still couldn't help but take a step back.

Seeing that her expression was strange, her chest was bulging, Shi Yun frowned and said, "What is there? Are there any iron tools? Is it your own? It saves you trouble."

When Han Jiang heard this, his face turned red and he almost turned around and ran away.

She calmed down and handed the dagger in her hand: "This is the only iron weapon on her body, which is the relics of her parents. If it is confiscated, please find someone to release the dagger for the time being."

Seeing Shiyun not responding, Han Jiang thought he didn't believe it, so he replied in a humble and arrogant manner: "Mr. Cao's house is in charge of the affairs of the company. I know the young ones. If the adults don't believe it, you can come and ask someone to come and ask."

Shi Yun's eyebrows did not stretch, but his eyes seemed to stick to Han Jiang's face.

Han Jiang realized something was wrong, so he quickly turned his head and avoided it.

Shi Yun's gaze fell between her neck, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. She pulled the dagger from Han Jiang's hand and said, "Don't bother that boy Zhao Tong, this guy will keep it for you, you can go in first!"

Han Jiang felt strange in his heart. Someone urged him later, but she didn't care about exploring it and entered the venue with her head down.

Shi Yun held the dagger in his hand and looked at Han Jiang's back, but his expression changed, sometimes he was happy, sometimes he was solemn, and very entangled...
