Chapter 1330 Where there are people, there is a difference
Five thousand guans is something that many people dare not even think about.
But at this moment, it's just a quota.
Although, this quota is really extremely important to them.
But right in front of me is the first one.
"Five thousand guan, this quota is too expensive. I have never heard of it." Among the crowd, there were Tang officials with shocked expressions on their faces.
"One quota is five thousand guan, and two hundred quotas are equivalent to one million guan and ten thousand guan."
"Oh my God!" The person next to him also had a look of disbelief on his face.
Although it had been expected that the price of the quota would be high, no one expected that it would be such a high price.
The emperor sat on the chair and heard that someone had already obtained a quota of five thousand guan. He was not only happy but also shocked.
At this moment, he finally understood why Zhao Chen had so firmly told him that he could solve the salary problem of Dali Temple officials.
How can this not solve the salary problem of Dali Temple officials? Reopening a Dali Temple is enough.
"Guanyin, I can have a good sleep tonight." The emperor smiled and said to Empress Changsun.
I often feel relieved in my heart.
In the past, the emperor always had trouble sleeping at night whenever he thought about the river canal in the east of the river that could burst its banks at any time.
He was worried about what he would do if the canal in the east of the river burst its banks and nearly a million people were displaced.
Now, one quota is sold for 5,000 guan. The emperor believes that 500,000 guan can still be collected.
Empress Changsun just smiled.
Although Zhao Chen's method of helping the emperor raise money quickly was somewhat inappropriate, it was able to solve the Hedong problem in the shortest possible time.
Moreover, Empress Changsun also felt that there was nothing wrong with allowing some businessmen's children to study in the Imperial College.
We are both citizens of the Tang Dynasty, so why do businessmen have to be inferior to others?
If possible, maybe there will be talents among the businessmen's children.
"Zhao Da, this money is so profitable." Cheng Chumo stood behind Zhao Chen and whispered.
Cheng Chu silently listened to the numbers being shouted out one by one, his heart trembling every time.
It feels like the numbers these businessmen shout out are all for free.
"They are all just fighting for an opportunity. Even if it is just a small chance, they will try their best to get this opportunity." Zhao Chen looked at the businessmen in front of him and said calmly.
Zhao Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with the auction quota.
The quota for the Imperial College is real, and admission to the Imperial College is also real.
The auction quota gives businessmen an opportunity.
And they also need this opportunity.
"Zhao Da, tell me why people are born unequal."
"For example, some people's families are rich, some are so poor that they can't take the blame, some people have a noble status, and some people are struggling at the bottom of life." Cheng Chumo suddenly asked Zhao Chen a very strange question.
Zhao Chen looked back at Cheng Chumo with some surprise.
Seeing his serious expression, he didn't look like he was just joking with me.
"As for your question, I can only tell you that wherever there are people, there will be fights."
"Similarly, wherever there are people, there are classes and differences."
"All we can do is try to let as many people enjoy fairness as possible."
"As it stands, we can only give all businessmen a chance, but who can get the quota depends on their financial resources and courage." Zhao Chen said slowly.
Cheng Chumo obviously didn't understand.
"There is never absolute fairness in the world. Just like in a family, with four or five children, there will always be one who is particularly loved by his parents, and there will always be one who is not favored."
"This is the same principle." Zhao Chen explained to Cheng Chumo again.
Cheng Chumo nodded in understanding and said, "No wonder every time I go home, the old man wants to kill me."
The corner of Zhao Chen's mouth twitched. Cheng Yaojin wanted to kill Cheng Chumo, but not because he was unpopular.
But this guy is very mean-mouthed.
Even Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Chumo's father, was often so angry that he vomited three liters of blood.
Zhao Chen shook his head and continued to look at the auction ahead.
"Five thousand guan, is there any increase in price for the second time?"
"If not, then this shopkeeper will get the first spot in the Imperial College." Su Wo Qinghe's voice echoed on the school grounds.
Five thousand guan is definitely a high price.
And it’s still the first spot, and businessmen don’t want to fight to the death for the first spot.
After Su Wo Qinghe finished speaking, there was still no answer.
"Okay, the first spot in the Imperial College was snatched up by this shopkeeper for five thousand guan."
"Please ask the shopkeeper to come here and register." Su Wo Qinghe hammered down for the third time, and someone led the shopkeeper who took the place aside.
All the businessmen looked at the shopkeeper with envy as he passed by.
Five thousand guan, many of them can afford it.
Many people now regret that if they had added one hundred more points, the first spot would have fallen into their hands.
"The second quota, the base price is one hundred guan, starting now." Su Wo Qinghe was also very fast.
It directly announced the start of the auction for the second quota.
"Two thousand strings!"
The auction for the second quota had just been announced, and the previous shopkeeper Mobeiqiu shouted out his price.
Two thousand strings, not even the initial test.
It directly doubled twenty times.
All the merchants frowned. If they all bid like this, the prices for these places will not be low.
But there is no way. It is unrealistic to want to buy an opportunity at a low price.
"Three Thousand Guan!" As soon as Liang Qianguan finished shouting, someone immediately shouted out Three Thousand Guan.
"Okay, the second shopkeeper bids 3,000 yuan and spends a lot of money for his descendants."
"I believe that your descendants will succeed in their studies in the future and will definitely repay you generously."
"Is there anyone else who bids?" Su Wo Qinghe shouted to everyone on the stage.
The merchants who had not planned to bid at first were a little excited when they heard what Su Wo Qinghe said.
They all came here to grab a spot.
It is to give my descendants a chance to break away from their current status.
If they can serve as officials in the court in the future, they will all be heroes of the family.
Money, if you don’t have it anymore, you can make it again.
But if the opportunity disappears, it will be a lifetime thing.
"Made, I'm willing to risk it all, five thousand guan!" Someone suddenly shouted a price.
This is already the second time I’ve done 5,000 strings.
And, it seems, it's far from stopping there.
"Damn it, another five thousand strings?"
"It seems that the price of this second quota is far more than 5,000 guan."
"Isn't that right? There is something about that girl on the stage that makes these businessmen a little desperate."
"For the sake of future generations and for the sake of the family, these are enough to make them desperate."
"This girl is Su Wo Qinghe, she is a good youngster. If she can be admitted to the Ministry of Etiquette..."
"She is a woman, how can she enter the Household Department!"
The officials discussed, and when the price of five thousand guan was called out, everyone was stunned for a while.
