Chen Rui, who bought the elixir, was very proud and smiled at Qian Tongsheng, who was sitting next to him, saying, "With this elixir, it can not only suppress the diabetes for a year, but also sell it at a high price without using it. And the money also

Brother must have seen it, and the bottles that charge medicine are all immortals.”

"Yeah yeah."

Qian Tongsheng smiled falsely, but he was humming in his heart: Why are you proud? My Qian family is not inferior to your Chen family, so I will buy a good treasure later.

For the court, perhaps even if you have money, you may not be able to buy grain. Because the big landlords who store grain, the wealthy businessmen were wary of the court.

But for local wealthy businessmen, gentry, and landlords, they can buy grain if they have money, not only because they know who has food, but also because the three are closely related, or most of them are the same.

A family consists of those who study and become officials, those who do business and get rich, and those who farm and protect their capital.

Even if the dynasty changes, the family status of these people may not decline; even if there is occasional decline, they can lie dormant for decades and rise again; thus, the family will be prosperous for thousands of years!

In short, these people can find connections to buy food when they have money, and they may not have so much food at home, so they are so confident in bidding.

On this side, Chen Rui wanted to continue showing off to others, so he saw Ming Shilan in the pavilion take out another small medicine bottle.

Lu Jiude said with a loudspeaker: "This elixir can suppress yang hypertension. If you feel dizzy due to yang hypertension, you will take it immediately and take it once. The owner of the Xu family bought me a year's price, and the starting price is 10,000 shi of rice.

··”

Hyperyang is also a disease of wealth and honor, and it is more common than diabetes. Although traditional Chinese medicine in the Ming Dynasty had a good treatment for hyperyang, it could be effective but it was slow.

Therefore, after listening to Lu Jiude's explanation, many elderly rich people took their time.

In the end, this bottle of medicine for treating yang hypertension reached a price of 50,000 shi of rice.

Then, Ming Shilan took out a glass mirror that was more than one foot long and wide from the box.

Seeing this, many wealthy people in Suzhou were disappointed.

"Isn't this a diorama? It's bigger and clearer."

"It looks like a diorama, but I don't know what's so wonderful."

"It's said that this time it's all treasures of immortals, so it shouldn't be selling ordinary things, right?"

"Who knows."

"···"

While everyone was talking in a low voice, Lu Jiude said, "This object is called a glass mirror. It looks like a diorama, but it is not a diorama.

First of all, the diorama cannot be so big or so clear. If you have a diorama at home, I believe you should know that the diorama is at most a palm-sized piece.

Secondly, mercury is used in the production of dioramas, and mercury is poisonous. If you all use dioramas frequently, you will be slowly invaded by toxins and aging faster, and even die prematurely due to diseases.

Your Majesty does not want to see Westerners using this poisonous mirror to assassinate our Ming women, so this time, not only will we give us a dozen better and non-toxic glass mirrors, but we will also establish a glass mirror factory in Nanjing.

Of course, since glass mirrors are common things, the starting price is cheaper this time, which is 1,000 stone of rice, and each increase must not be less than 100 stone of rice."

Diorama made of "tin amalgam" in the West was born in the early 14th century and was spread to the middle class of the people from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty, some dioramas were introduced and were very popular.

Zhu Meiyu planned to build a glass mirror factory to make money, so she naturally had to attack Western dioramas.

So, Hao Guangming taught Lu Jiude what he said just now, and beat the reputation of the diorama to death with one stick.

Sure enough, after learning about the difference between glass mirrors and dioramas, even though they knew that they were ordinary objects, the rich still bid for the auction.

In the end, the ten-sided glass mirror was sold at a high price of 80,000 sq.

Afterwards, Lu Jiude began to sell "immortal medicine", mainly to treat hyperactivity, diabetes and calcium supplementation and health care. However, it is no longer a single bottle auction, but a group, or three bottles in a group, or five bottles.

A group.

A total of thirty bottles of "immortal medicine" were sold in front and after, and more than one million stones of rice were obtained!

In fact, Lu Jiude brought a total of fifty bottles (all small bottles), but after the photo was taken, the willingness of the rich in Suzhou to buy was reduced sharply. Some were only given a price of two or three thousand stones and then bought it.

He knew that most of the rice and grain in Suzhou were all the same.

In other words, these are the rich people who are willing to use rice and grain to buy elixirs.

Remembering Hao Guangming's teaching that "scarcity makes things valuable", he left behind twenty bottles and stopped selling them, but continued to sell electronic watches.

There are several reasons why Hao Guangming regards electronic watches as the second largest goods after medicine.

One is because this thing is cheap and easy to wholesale in later generations.

Second, electronic watches are indeed strange to the rich people of the Ming Dynasty.

The third is to help Zhu Mei promote the 24-hour system and open up the market for the first watch factory in the Ming Dynasty in the future.

It can be said that multiple goals can be achieved in one go.

Lu Jiude also brought 50 electronic watches. Maybe the rich man in Suzhou was really exhausted. Only twenty were auctioned in this wave and he won 300,000 stones.

Seeing three large boxes in the pavilion, a small box was opened. Although the situation in the box could not be seen, all the wealthy Suzhou people were thinking: All the treasures brought by Eunuch Lu should have been sold out, right?

Even if there is still, everyone can't buy it anymore. The food I took out before has indeed reached the limit of their ability.

Unexpectedly, Ming Shilan took out three solar table lamps and a solar floor lamp from the last box.

The solar floor lamp was unfolded and it was as big as a sea bowl. After it was turned on, it looked like a small sun!

Suddenly, many rich people regretted it.

"Why don't you take out such a good magic lamp? If you want to buy it early, I'll buy it anyway!"

"The light of that lamp is like the bright moon to the sun compared to this floor lamp."

"Hey, the starting price of this floor lamp is probably not hundreds of thousands of stones of rice. Who else can afford it now? I don't know what Eunuch Lu thinks."

"···"

While the rich were talking, Lu Jiude's huge voice came from the pavilion.

"Everyone, three solar table lamps will be auctioned together, with a starting price of one million taels of silver!

As for this floor lamp, it is the finale of this auction, with a starting price of 2 million taels of silver!”

The rich were stunned at first when they heard this, then they were extremely excited and even cheered regardless of their identity.

"Can you actually use silver this time?"

"It's so great, it should have been like this long ago!"

"It's much more convenient to buy it with silver."

"Haha, our Qian family has nothing else, it's just that it's a lot of money..."

Immediately, hundreds of wealthy people in Suzhou began to bid enthusiastically.

During this process, Lu Jiude and Ming Shilan had smiles on their lips. If they found that the wealthy people in Suzhou were insufficient to use, it was also from Hao Guangming's religion that they used silver to replace rice and grain.

Because Hao Guangming knew that in the late Ming Dynasty, although the silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty suddenly decreased due to changes in the power of the Western navigation and war, the silver flowing in the market suddenly decreased during the Age and Chongzhen period, it did not mean that the Ming Dynasty lacked silver.

As a precious metal, silver itself does not decrease for no reason.

After the voyage of grandeur began, Western countries made countless silver flow into the Ming Dynasty through trade.

Only a small part of this silver circulates on the market, most of which are hidden by gentry, landlords and tyrants.

For example, many rich people and landlords have silver winter melons hidden in their homes, which are the kind that cannot be held by one or two people.

Although Zhu Mai is not short of money now, all the "treasures" were brought to Suzhou by Lu Jiude and others. Of course, he had to pay a little silver from the treasures of Suzhou rich people...

"The Changshu Fan family has bid 6 million taels, and is there anyone who has paid a higher price?"

When auctioning the floor lamp, Lu Jiude, the eunuch, was also excited - six million taels. Even when he was the Emperor Chongzhen, he would probably never be greedy for such a big eunuch.

These wealthy Suzhou people are so rich that even the eunuch is shocked.

"Six million taels once! Six million taels twice! Six million taels three times!!"

Bang!

Lu Jiude knocked on the small copper hammer in his hand.

"Disclaimer!! Congratulations to the Fan family in Changshu for taking photos of the solar floor lamp!!"

Lu Jiude had a smile on his face, and Ming Shilan next to him was quite happy.

At this point, when the auction ended, they sold a total of 8.8 million taels of silver! 2.17 million stone rice!!
Chapter completed!
