Chapter 150 [The poorest prince in the entire Tang Dynasty]

Since ancient times, great things have been more than wealth.

Qin Qiong was definitely a brave general when he went to the battlefield, but at this moment he was so nervous that he was not even as good as a three-year-old child. This straightforward and loyal Duke stared at the platform without blinking, and he himself didn't know that his fists were clenched.

"I hope it can be sold at a high price!"

"It must be sold at a high price!"

"My Qin family's ankle is a ancestral craft. If you meet someone who knows the goods, you will definitely be able to sell it at a high price..."

However, what you are afraid of will come from!

Just when Qin Qiong and his wife were extremely nervous, they heard Li Yun laughing on the platform and shouted: "Although the saddle is good, it can't compare to ginseng. Therefore, the starting price of these three thousand Qin's saddles can only be set at fifty stakes. As for the price increase for each auction, I think it's enough to be five stakes once..."

A bang!

A cup in Qin Qiong's hand was directly fried, and the pieces of the cup were pierced directly into the flesh. Blood instantly flowed with blood on his palms, but the Duke was completely unknown.

Mrs. Qin performed worse, her eyes turned pale and almost fainted.

Why is the starting price of three thousand exquisite saddles only fifty cents?

This is not a sell, it is clearly thrown away.

In order to weave this batch of saddles, the Qin family gritted their teeth and borrowed a large amount of debt. Not only did they buy the best silk thread, but they were also mixed with expensive silver wires. The whole mansion worked day and night for two months, and the dignified Duke's wife was so tired that she was covered in blood.

I won’t mention the hard work I put in. The materials alone will have to be worth thousands of cents. I originally expected to make a fortune, but I didn’t expect Li Yun to only give a starting price of fifty cents.

Qin Qiong's face turned pale.

Mrs. Qin was trembling all over.

The Qin family was not rich and belonged to the kind of family that lived by guarding the fields. Although Qin Qiong was a Duke of the State, he was loyal and honest and did not know how to do business. However, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty was not very high, and he could only receive a salary of 200 stones of rice in a year.

How much is the rice salary of two hundred stones?

In the future, it will be 20,000 pounds!

At first I heard it, it seems like a lot, but when I think about it, it’s a joke. It’s 20,000 kilograms a year, and 1,600 kilograms a month. A dignified Duke, who raises a family, relies on 1,000 kilograms of food every month. You can imagine how tight the Qin family’s life is.

Qin Qiong suddenly stood up and stared at the platform angrily. Mrs. Qin beside him was startled and couldn't help but whisper: "Shubao, what do you want to do?"

"I won't sell it anymore!"

Qin Qiong took a deep breath.

Mrs. Qin's face suddenly pale and said hurriedly: "Shubao must not. You are refusing to your face. Not only will you offend King Zhao, but the reputation of the Qin family will also be tainted. Shubao, please accept it. We will save vegetarian food in the future and find ways to pay off the debts slowly."

A dignified Duke's wife said this, which was heartbreaking. It was almost unimaginable for people in later generations to come. How could a founding Duke be so poor?

If you look at history, you will know that he was so fucking poor in the early Tang Dynasty.

The Cheng family is rich because their ancestors are wealthy.

Liu Hongji's family is rich because his wife comes from a pearl-picking family.

But Qin Qiong is different. He was a poor man from Shandong. When he was young, he worked as a small yamen runner and sold his horse for the sake of money.

Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty’s nobles, there is almost no family that is poorer than the Qin family.

Qin Qiong took a deep breath again and suddenly said to Mrs. Qin in a low voice: "If it were only me, Qin Shubao, I would rather die than regret it. However, this group of Anlang has the hard work of the wife and the hard work of everyone in the mansion. I would rather be defiled by my reputation than regret today's business. Madam, don't persuade me. You and my husband have been for twenty years. You should know what kind of person you are a husband."

He had a tough and firm tone, and was about to speak to the high platform. Mrs. Qin suddenly stood up from the stone bench. The righteous wife of the country suddenly smiled softly, held her husband's arm and said, "Honey, my wife will follow you, I will throw this person away. If the King Zhao of Xifu feels dissatisfied, I will bear his dissatisfaction with you..."

Qin Qiong looked at his wife deeply, nodded slowly and said, "It's great!"

The couple suddenly stepped out of the crowd and headed straight towards the auction platform.

They have a kind of tragic tragedy of burning their boats.

From today on, the Qin family will become a laughing stock for all people in the world.

But before the two of them got closer, they heard Li Yun laughing and said, "Look, Duke Qin has come here in person. It's just right, it's just right. I'm worried about how to explain this batch of saddles. Let's ask Duke Qin to come on stage to talk."

This sudden turn made Qin Qiong and his wife stunned. Qin Qiong reacted very slowly, but Mrs. Qin reacted very quickly. She suddenly pinched her husband's soft flesh and hurriedly lowered her voice: "Shubao, don't talk about remorse."

Then he raised his head quickly and asked Li Yun hurriedly: "Your Highness Zhao, the King of Xifu, thank you for the opportunity. Unfortunately, my husband is not good at speaking. Can I explain it on my behalf?"

After saying that, he was afraid that Li Yun would refuse, so he added, saying, "These saddles are supervised by me personally, and there are even twenty of them that I have knitted by myself. Can Your Highness, King Zhao, let me explain it?"

Li Yun didn't disagree. He laughed and flashed to the side, bowed to make an invitation and said, "I'm going to invite Aunt Qin to the stage."

This voice of Aunt Qin gave Mrs. Qin great courage.

She took a deep breath and slowly climbed up to the platform. She blurted out because she was very nervous and said, "Our Qin family's saddle is very good!"

There was a burst of laughter in the audience!

Mrs. Qin's face turned red and subconsciously wanted to cover her face. Li Yun's eyes rolled a few times and suddenly said, "Aunt Qin said your saddle is good. How dare you ask what is the good thing about it? Many people in my Tang Dynasty can weave saddles. I wonder what is the difference between the Qin family's saddles and ordinary saddles."

This is equivalent to helping Mrs. Qin straighten out her thinking.

Mrs. Qin looked at Li Yun with gratitude, finally overcame her own tension, and slowly spoke up and explained: "Our Qin family's saddle is a ancestral craft. When weaving, we use the best silk thread. It is not only soft and light, but also durable. In order to increase the degree of toughness, some silver threads are also mixed in it. I am not boasting, but a saddle can last for fifty years."

"Ha ha!"

Li Yun was very good at playing the role of supporting role and exaggeratedly shouted: "A saddle can last for fifty years, so why shouldn't it be regarded as a family heirloom?"

The whole audience burst into laughter again, but there were already many merchants' eyes shining in the laughter.

Mrs. Qin was a little embarrassed when she was laughed, but her tone was very firm, and she said proudly: "My husband is loyal and honest. Our Qin family never does cheating."

These words made everyone nod.

Shandong Qin Shubao was extremely loyal and righteous. Even the emperor occasionally called Qin Er Ge. No one dared to blame Mrs. Qin. Even merchants from the Western Regions had heard of Qin Qiong's name.

However, no name cannot be used as a product.

Li Yun's eyes turned again and said, "I didn't expect that the Qin family's Ankle is so delicate, so I suddenly became moved. Aunt Qin, let's discuss it, I'm about to build an invincible cavalry. I think you don't sell your Ankle. I just pack the whole lot. I'll give you a high price of five stakes for a Ankle..."

Mrs. Qin subconsciously wanted to nod, and even wanted to say that our saddle was only two cents. However, when she suddenly noticed Li Yun's gaze, Mrs. Qin's heart suddenly moved.

She tried hard to keep herself in her mouth and kept herself from speaking.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a tough guy ringing in the yard and said unhappily: "Why? Why are you, Baoyuan? We Tuyuhun people also want to buy..."

Li Yun looked at him with murderous intent and said, "Just because I am invincible in the world, do you want to try one-on-one with me?"

The Tuyuhun merchant shivered, suddenly looked at Li Shimin, and asked stutterly: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, do you Han people follow the rules?"

Li Shimin pretended to be angry, suddenly stood up and scolded, pointing at Li Yun, saying, "Get aside for me, you are not allowed to buy this batch of saddles. You start a Chinese transaction to match business. How can you see good things directly? Get aside and let the Western Regions merchants start bidding..."

Li Yun praised in his heart, but his face showed an extremely unwilling expression, and hummed, "At worst, I can give you six cards."

The Tuyuhun merchant in the yard shouted and said proudly: "I will trade seven stakes, and I will exchange them all for the bullock."

Li Yun was furious and cursed: "I have a lot of talent. This is the best saddle of my Han Duke family."

He is very bad, so he directly raises the price of three guan. If the other party is impulsive, even if he adds Yiguan, Li Yun will sell it to him.

But the Tuyuhun merchants were not fooled, but frowned and thought, and finally slowly spoke: "The three thousand anthracites must be sold to me. King Zhao of Xifu, don't provoke me, I will give you seven stakes at most. Three thousand anthracites will be unified and twenty-one thousand athracites will be exchanged for them all, which itself has already made you a big profit."

This guy suddenly became fluent in his speech. He was so arrogant that his tough guy words were all disguised. Li Yun suddenly laughed and pointed at him and said, "Merchants, merchants, are as smart as rats. Okay, I will give you a face. I won't fight for these saddles."

The Tuyuhun merchant also laughed and learned the etiquette of the Han people and bowed: "Although the King of Zhao deliberately used methods, I can still make a lot of money in this transaction. A piece of saddle money can be sold for ten cents when transported back to the Western Regions. Thank you, King Zhao. I am Habdur, I am willing to get to know you."

Only then did Li Yun realize that he underestimated the ancients.

It turns out that his methods of setting off have long been seen through.

He glanced at the merchant deeply, suddenly nodded with a firm face, and said, "When today's auction is over, I will personally give you a gold medal of honor. From today on, you are the first honorary member of Fanyang Trading Center."

Habdul was immediately overjoyed.

Merchants can best understand how valuable Li Yun’s membership gold medal is.

The Qin family's deal can be said to be full of twists and turns. Until the final transaction was successful, Mrs. Qin was still stunned. Li Yun respectfully helped her down the platform. After a long time, she suddenly felt excited. She pinched Qin Qiong who was waiting in the audience and said in a crying voice: "Uncle Bao, our family's sankan sold 21,000 yuan?"

Qin Qiong took a deep breath, tried hard to restrain his ecstasy and said, "And it was for the bull to exchange..."

Jianniu is very valuable in the Tang Dynasty. After getting it back to Chang'an, it will definitely increase the price. By then, it will not be 21,000 guan, and it may become 30,000 guan.

And how much does the Qin family’s saddle cost? Including labor, it will not exceed 3,000 guan!

This is a tenfold deal.

Qin Qiong and his wife felt a little confused!
