(It’s a new week, please vote for recommendations!)
Half an hour later, Liang Qiufeng walked out of a lively tea shop. His whole clothes had changed. He looked gray, his back was a little hunched, like a sick man. He first said:
He glanced around and left slowly. He turned two streets and walked into a restaurant. A quarter of an hour later, he walked out again.
At this time, he had completely restored his original appearance, and he was a vigorous young man. Unfortunately, his clothes were simple, his sword was dim, and he looked very ordinary.
After going around in a long circle, he could be sure that no one was following him. It seemed that Zhenyuan Trading Company was very disciplined and did not arrange for tailgaters.
For this reason, I appreciate Tianbao Trading Company a little more.
Liang Qiufeng, who had regained his true self, did not rush back. The treasure was successfully released, the resources were in hand, and a big worry was solved. However, since he had come to Huaizuo Mansion, it would be too hasty to come and go.
After thinking about it, he decided to go back to Zhenyuan Trading Company and participate in the auction. As the third lady said, he might actually come across something interesting.
This time you enter, of course, through the main entrance.
The auction held by Zhenyuan Trading Company today has a threshold, and not just anyone can come in. Either holding an invitation, or having a name card specially issued by the trading company as a distinguished guest, or paying one hundred catties of spiritual rice, which is considered entry-level.
fee.
Liang Qiufeng didn't have any invitation cards or name cards. He had made a deal with the third lady before and forgot to ask her for one. Now he could only pay a hundred catties of rice to go in and find an empty seat in the ordinary hall to sit down.
The hall was dark, with thousands of people, and no one cared about him, a new and small character.
The auction house of Zhenyuan Trading Company is extremely grand and spacious, and is divided into ordinary halls and VIP rooms. The VIP rooms are on the second floor, from a high position, overlooking the entire auction house space. Naturally, the treatment they receive is far from that of sitting in an ordinary hall.
people can enjoy it.
Of course, obtaining VIP status is not an easy task.
The auction has already started and is in full swing.
According to the usual practice, the things auctioned at the beginning are the lowest in value, from low to high, and the real good things are at the end. For example, the top-grade "Huanglong Dao Sword" is the treasure of the finale.
You have to wait until the last minute to come on stage.
I believe that only then will the big shots in the VIP seats get seriously involved and conduct fierce bidding.
Although the things in the previous auction are ordinary, they are still good things for ordinary warriors. Many of them are rare in the market, so at this time, people are bidding, and the bidding sounds are coming and going, and the atmosphere is very
It's lively.
It was the first time for Liang Qiufeng to see such a scene, and he watched it with gusto.
"Three thousand five hundred kilograms of rice. This is my first time. Is there anything with a higher price?"
"Second time!"
"The third time, the deal is done. Congratulations to this friend for acquiring this high-quality medicinal herb 'Bitian Yinqiu'."
A beauty in palace attire who was in charge of hosting the auction smiled gracefully and dropped her gavel.
Just as everyone was eagerly waiting for the next auction item, someone suddenly came out from behind the scenes and whispered a few words to the beauty in palace attire.
The beauty in palace attire nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Now, our third lady from Zhenyuan Trading Company has something to tell you."
"Third Miss?"
After hearing the news, the scene suddenly seemed to be ignited and exploded.
The name of Yang Shuanglan, the third lady of Zhenyuan Trading Company, is extremely famous not only in Huaizuo Mansion, but also in the entire Tang Dynasty. On weekdays, I don’t know how many people want to see her but can’t get it. If she can listen to the beauty’s words, even if she pays another hundred
Jin Lingmi's admission is worth it.
In an instant, many people could not help but stand up and lean forward, hoping to see more clearly.
Soon, the elegant third lady Yang Shuanglan came on stage. First she smiled sweetly, and then she slowly said:
"I am here to interrupt everyone for a while, mainly to announce our firm's plans for the Yangchun Auction next spring..."
Hearing this, many people were a little confused.
Zhenyuan Trading Company's Yangchun Auction is of extremely high standard and is held every year. It is well known that there is no need to notify it so early, but I don't know what kind of medicine is being sold in her gourd.
I heard Yang Shuanglan continue to say: "There is good news that our Zhenyuan Trading Company has purchased a high-quality dragon blood stone. This stone will be carved and polished by the famous Master Zuo. Several ornaments will be processed.
It will be put up for auction at the Yangchun Auction, and I hope you will support me at that time..."
"What, dragon blood stone?"
The words stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire auction was a sensation. Many big names, including those who were sitting in the VIP seats, couldn't help but move in shock.
Next year's Yangchun Auction will have jewelry made from dragon bloodstones to be auctioned. The news spread like wildfire, causing waves of waves, and even made many people feel uninterested in the upcoming auction.
Wearing an ornament inlaid with dragon blood stone can speed up the recovery of vitality in the body, which is much better than spiritual rice and even some low-level elixirs. The most important thing is that when you carry something on your body, it has an effect all the time.
It is engraved and has unparalleled advantages.
For example, in a fierce battle, everything is changing rapidly. Would the enemy let you dig out the spiritual rice and take out the elixir to gnaw on it? You are afraid that if you stretch out your hand, there will be a flaw and you will be killed on the spot.
The accessories you wear are different. You don't need to pay attention to them at all, and you don't need to activate them. The effects will occur completely automatically, which is extremely remarkable.
In addition, after being made into accessories and worn on the body, it can also add beauty and style.
Ornaments made of dragon bloodstone have always been the most sought-after treasures on the market. The prices remain high, and they are often sold at high prices but not available.
Now that they heard that Zhenyuan Trading Company was auctioning such treasures, everyone's desire was immediately aroused.
Yang Shuanglan wanted this effect. She smiled slightly, said something more, and then left the stage.
The auction continued, but many people were a little absent-minded, and the scene seemed deserted.
"The auction below is a bit special. Well, it is a hundred slaves. However, these slaves are all healthy young people of fourteen or fifteen years old, both male and female. One hundred slaves are divided into ten groups, with ten people in each group.
The starting price of the group is one thousand kilograms of spiritual rice. The price will be increased by one hundred kilograms each time..."
When Liang Qiufeng heard this, he couldn't help but be startled: Why, even people can be auctioned? This is too mysterious.
He had never heard of such a thing.
I couldn't help but ask the person sitting next to me.
The man was looking thoughtful, as if he was still thinking about what Yang Shuanglan said, admiring the precious ornaments made of dragon bloodstone, and said calmly: "There is something strange about selling slaves at auction. You are new here, right?"
."
Liang Qiufeng nodded.
The man coughed dryly and started talking coquettishly.
It turns out that in the Divine Continent, wars would occasionally break out between the seven kingdoms and they would attack and plunder each other. When wars broke out and people were displaced, slaves were born. In addition, within the kingdom, there were civilians who encountered difficulties and found it difficult to make ends meet.
, when they are desperate, they will sell themselves into slavery.
Over time, slaves came into being, and their number increased, even forming a class.
Slaves had no rights and were treated like goods, and could be bought and sold at the discretion of their masters. There were specialized slave trading shops in the market, and the market was good.
Among them, there are shrewd businessmen who select young and healthy ones, put them together, and sell them at auctions, where they can sell for high prices.
Such things are commonplace, but Liang Qiufeng didn't know about it when he first came here.
After hearing this, he shook his head first, and then as if he remembered something, he slapped his thigh, looking excited and excited.
When the man saw it, he curled his lips and secretly scorned: Country bumpkin.
But what this "hillbilly" did next surprised him.
Liang Qiufeng actually participated in the bidding of slaves, and first bought the first group of slaves for 1,500 kilograms of rice.
In fact, this is nothing and not surprising.
However, Liang Qiufeng had no intention of giving up and continued to raise his cards, buying the second group, the third group of slaves... until the sixth group, the seventh group... the tenth group.
Get them all.
The man looked at Liang Qiufeng with his eyes wide open, as if he were looking at a monster: Why did this country bumpkin buy so many slaves?
You know, with so many people and so many mouths open, no matter how bad the treatment is, you still have to eat.
Crazy, absolutely crazy.
Others thought that Liang Qiufeng must be a disciple of a certain sect and accepted a mission from the sect to buy people back to work in the sect.
Such things often happen. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
