A bidding process involving tens of thousands of dollars in revenue from the Salt Transportation Department cannot be canceled just because of a farce.
If we make a big fuss today, it will only be a joke for a few days and delay the process for a few days.
So, Lin Tailai's purpose is to delay time? But delaying time can't change the situation.
The crowd dispersed, and the aftermath was rippled.
Today's farce in the Salt Transportation Department has been circulating in Yangzhou City for several days and has become the hottest topic in the city.
Some current affairs commentators said that the fact that Lin Daguan did not kidnap the salt transport envoy showed that his dominance has declined.
A few days later, when the topic's popularity dropped slightly, the Salt Transportation Department hurriedly summoned the salt dealers to recognize the nest, intending to finalize the ownership of these five thousand nests as soon as possible.
Still in the lobby of the Salt Transportation Department, a dozen salt merchants gathered here again.
Official Lin lived up to expectations and appeared to protect the Wu Tian family.
Today, all the followers are not allowed to enter the Yimen. They all stand outside the gate and are guarded by hundreds of salt guards.
"Why do you still dare to come when the matter is only three?" Official Lin provoked the salt merchants unscrupulously, "Aren't you willing to show your shame?"
This time, no one responded to Mr. Lin, didn’t even look at Mr. Lin, and rejected all words and deeds that might cause disputes.
Don’t make any extra moves, just show your money! I don’t believe you, Lin Tailai, has more money than a dozen of our top salt merchants!
Fei Yunshi sat behind the public case with an expressionless face, while the clerk read the relevant documents nonchalantly.
After the scribe finished reading the document, Fei Yunshi was too lazy to speak and said directly: "Five thousand Yinwo, the base price is ten thousand taels of silver, let's get started."
Manager Sun, the leader of the Western merchants, said: "I will pay eleven thousand taels."
Wang Yuanwai also made a gesture and said loudly: "Twelve thousand taels."
Then Zheng Zhiyan, the official, said: "I will pay fourteen thousand taels."
The amount of money that seems like an astronomical figure to ordinary people seems to be just a number on this occasion. This is the financial strength of the top salt merchants.
However, other salt merchants were very considerate of Mr. Zheng and stopped raising prices. This was a tacit understanding in private.
But as long as Lin Daguan is present, if nothing unexpected happens, an accident will definitely happen.
"Fifteen thousand taels!" Lin Tailai shouted loudly, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Lin Tailai quickly explained, "Wu Tian is a womanly family, and it is not respectable to shout in public, so I raised the price on behalf of Wu Tian."
Zheng Yuanwai, who was determined to win, did not hesitate to increase the price, "Sixteen thousand taels!"
Official Lin did not hesitate and shouted: "Eighteen thousand taels!"
At this time, the bidding rhythm stopped slightly.
Officer Zheng stared at Mr. Lin angrily, "What are you shouting about, you poor guy? Do you have eighteen thousand taels of silver?"
Others secretly thought, could this Lin Tailai be maliciously raising the price?
Officer Zheng gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely: "Twenty thousand taels!"
At this price, it was already double the base price, but Zheng Yuanwai still couldn't give up the 5,000 new yuan.
Official Lin didn't hesitate at all and quickly followed up: "Twenty-two thousand taels!"
Everyone looked at Wu Tianshi next to Mr. Lin. After all, in name, the real bidder was Wu Tianshi.
But I saw that this beautiful young woman's face was pale and her whole body was shaking. She was obviously frightened.
Now the pressure came to Zheng Yuanwai again, but Zheng Yuanwai withstood the tremendous pressure and shouted: "Twenty-five thousand taels!"
As long as you can get 5,000 yuan, you can make it back after a few years of careful management without losing money!
In the sight of everyone, Lin Daguan slowly raised three fingers and shouted with astonishing momentum: "Thirty thousand taels!"
The lobby, which was originally quiet except for the shouting of prices, immediately seemed to explode, and everyone was in an uproar!
Everyone has the same idea, Lin Tailai is sick, seriously ill!
It’s understandable that you maliciously raise the price, but raising the price like this, besides cheating yourself, what’s the use?
I know you, Lin Tailai, want to cause trouble, but not like this!
Is it possible that the thirty thousand taels of silver you shouted out were drawn on the paper money?
Officer Wang was speechless. You, Lin Tailai, tried your best to delay time, but this is the result?
Can I start thinking about how to become truly independent after getting rid of Lin Tailai?
Zheng, who had been bidding, suddenly lost his anger. When he looked at Lin Tailai, he felt like he was looking at an idiot.
Asking for 30,000 yuan in two days to compete for 5,000 yuan, what is that but a fool?
The shipping envoy who had been silent until now shouted loudly: "According to the regulations, if the bid cannot be honored, it will be deemed as defrauding the salt transportation department to obtain tax money! The family property will be confiscated, and the court will be reported to the court for sentencing!"
Wu Tian's mind went blank because she was the one who was nominally bidding!
Could it be that Lin Tailai deliberately sacrificed himself to maliciously disrupt the official business of the Salt Transportation Company?
Anyway, I am just an insignificant little girl, so I won’t lose much if I sacrifice her.
Fei Yunshi suddenly felt that there was something wrong in what he said, and quickly added: "The accomplices will be treated as accomplices and will be punished together!"
Standing in the center of the whirlpool, Lin Daguan was extremely calm and said lazily: "I didn't say I wouldn't honor it. Do you all hope that I can't honor it?"
It seemed that the "thirty thousand taels" he just shouted was really just a number.
Although it’s late to start working hard, we have to catch up and continue to ask for monthly votes!!! Please support!!!
