Chapter 145 Celebrities through the ages

The Prime Minister waved his sleeves and laughed disdainfully, "Why do we need to take action? As long as we don't take action, it will be fine."

The ministers who were attached to the Prime Minister understood this one after another. They all looked at each other and smiled, and left the palace in good spirits.

As he said, Tang Yuchuan went to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to inform the Emperor about the auction of the imperial gifts. The Empress Dowager showed great integrity to the world and had no choice but to agree.

Even though the emperor was seriously ill, he kept agreeing.

However, they all had the same understanding in their hearts, that is, whether Tang Yuchuan's auction would be successful.

Now in the court, not even Master Lu is on his side, who else will support him?

There are a few wealthy businessmen in the capital city. As the saying goes, if a government-businessman family does not have the nod of important ministers, it will only be those who are not worthy of being on the stage.

Yan Ruomeng could also think of things that everyone could think of. After Tang Yuchuan came back to talk to her, she immediately asked.

"What if the auction fails and no one comes?"

"There are so many people in the world, how come no one comes?" Tang Yuchuan leaned on the rocking chair and ate spicy peanuts leisurely.

Yan Ruomeng couldn't stand his worries, so he took the plate of peanuts away with a leisurely look, "I'm talking about being in the capital."

"That's right, this is the most prosperous place. The people are richer than you think. Even some rich farmers nearby have mountains of gold and silver in their homes."

Yan Ruomeng's current worries have never occurred to him, but these are nothing. He even thinks that those courtiers who will not go now will be eager to go in then.

Whatever Yan Ruomeng said, Tang Yuchuan looked at ease and became suspicious in his heart, "Did you have some back-up plan that you didn't tell me?"

Tang Yuchuan smiled and said nothing, his narrow eyes tapping on the plate of peanuts.

Yan Ruomeng handed it over angrily.

"Since we are going to auction, we will make more money. We will auction a hundred items in total. The auction will be held for three days. We will auction 40 items each on the first two days and 20 items on the last day."

"You can make small profits but quick turnover. Even if each auction item only sells for a thousand taels, it will be enough to build a yard." Yan Ruomeng made a small calculation in her mind.

Tang Yuchuan nodded and continued, "However, we have a gimmick. These buyers have all contributed to the construction of Fengyuan. I will have their names engraved on the walls on both sides of the gate of Fengyuan so that they can

Can be famous for eternity."

Yan Ruomeng fell into deep thought. Why did she feel that there were missing items among the hundred items?

The most important thing the ancients paid attention to was the posthumous name. This is something that can be done with only a little money. You may not know how many people squeezed their heads to get into it.

Dengyun Tower is located in the middle of Dengyuntai Mountain. It is a six-story octagonal building.

Thinking that two floors were needed to place the auction items, Yan Ruomeng decided on the number of people based on the locations of the remaining four floors. Fifty people could enter for each auction, but the recent fifty people had to pay a registration fee of ten taels of silver.

Is ten taels of silver too much? Liangyu asked while helping to write the rules.

Yan Ruomeng curled his lips, "Where is this? People who come to the auction will lose those ten taels of silver. I'm afraid they won't dare to come if they don't carry ten thousand taels with them, and these ten taels of silver include tea, melons, fruits and snacks.

, there are also auction performances, so many ultimate enjoyments, after all this, do you still think ten taels of silver is expensive?"

Liangyu was successfully brainwashed, "Master, what you said makes me want to pay money to see the world."

Yan Ruomeng touched her head and said, "You, as the organizer, will definitely be able to come when the time comes."

Yan Ruomeng continued to talk about the rules. All the people who successfully took pictures of the goods would arrange their names in order according to the amount of the goods. Turning back to the walls on both sides of the courtyard, the names of the people would be engraved in this order.

Ever since humans knew how to compete, who wouldn’t want to have their name written in front.

Yan Ruomeng felt that her heart was moved.

The rules were finished in a short time, and Yan Ruomeng asked Liangyu to make flyers and distribute them in the streets and alleys of the capital.

Before noon had passed, the people in the capital were in a state of excitement.

"Wang Xiucai, that is something that will make you famous forever. Whether you go or not, I remember that your father is a member of the local government."

Wang Xiucai became excited when he mentioned this. He weighed the money bag around his waist and said, "Of course I will go. If I take the exam again, I might not be able to pass it. Why don't I spend some money and leave a name? Now my family can

It’s time to be satisfied.”

"Hehe, I thought so too."

The two scholars chatted and laughed and went to the Dengyunlou registration office.

After they heard about this, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance looked confused. When he realized that everyone around him was going to Dengyun Tower, he picked up the boys around him and went to join in the fun.

"Sir, this is the registration site for the prince's auction. The registration fee is ten taels of silver per person." The boy ran back and forth panting.

"Are they crazy? How can they run away so fast after paying money?" The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said he didn't understand.

The boy breathed heavily and said with difficulty, "His Highness said that anyone who takes a photo of the items given by the emperor will have their names engraved on the walls on both sides of the courtyard."

The Minister of Hube opened his eyes in shock and kicked the boy, "Why did you say such a big thing?"

The boy innocently covered his buttocks and said, "You didn't ask just now."

"Stop talking nonsense, you just said that His Highness was engraving names, so His Highness is at Dengyun Tower?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue looked anxiously in the direction of Dengyun Tower, feeling anxious in his heart.

I don’t know if it’s still possible to have a relationship with the prince now.

"His Highness is not here, but His Highness had someone write a notice and post it at the entrance of Dengyun Tower. Now everyone knows about it." The boy pointed in the direction of the crowd.

When he turned around and found that his elders had also followed the crowd, he hurried to catch up.

"Sir, what are you doing here? Wait a minute, little one."

The voice of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance came from the front, "I want to go in and take a look."

Unfortunately, before he could reach Dengyun Tower, there was a sound of wind in front of him.

"The tickets have been purchased. Everyone should go back. There is no need to go."

Hearing this, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was petrified on the spot, and the servants around him hurriedly helped him.

He regrets it now, why did he lose such an eternal opportunity to become a celebrity just to agree with the Prime Minister.

People around him also regretted it as he did.

"If I had known, I would have run faster. I heard that the items sold this time all start with ten taels of silver. If such a good opportunity is gone, it is really gone." Several scholars who had run slower hugged each other and cried bitterly.

An atmosphere called despair lingered around Shangshu Hube. If the internal injuries could be seen externally, he must have vomited three liters of blood.

But as the saying goes, if you keep thinking about it, there will be repercussions.

Suddenly, a hopeful voice came to mind from the crowd.

"I grabbed the ticket, but I suddenly regretted it. So many rich people have gone, so what's my business? I won't go. If any of you want to go, I sold the ticket to him.
