I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

Chen Qingyun put away the bottle and said, "It's better not to look at it. I don't lack this little toy."

Don’t even think about earning a penny from me, this corrupt official from Jiangzuo.

"Have you found any clues at the Qianqi Division?"

Chen Qingyun changed the subject and asked about this matter.

"Your Majesty, there is no news yet." Qiuyue said.

"Qianqisi is really incompetent!"

Chen Qingyun was angry.

The Qianqi Division is the Empress's most capable assistant. In the past, any important matter that needed to be investigated would be thoroughly investigated in less than a day.

Today, facing Anding County, there is not a single news.

Somehow, Chen Qingyun always felt that this place was too weird!

Whether it is the dazzling array of new things or the county magistrate Jiang Zuo who talks nonsense.

"Your Majesty, when will we set off for Beijing?" Qiuyue asked.

After all, the empress has been away from the capital for some time, and the court has a lot of affairs to attend to. Your Majesty cannot be away for too long, otherwise the ministers in the court will start to become restless again.

Chen Qingyun pondered for a moment before saying, "Wait one more day, I must personally find out the details of Jiang Zuo."

The next day.

There was a constant stream of people in front of the yamen.

There was constant noise and bustle.

"Be quiet. Be quiet."

Following the sound, I saw Master Guo standing on a platform, holding a wooden hammer in his hand, muttering, "Next item, a golden incense burner from the Jianhe period of the previous dynasty, starting price is three thousand taels."

There were many people standing in the audience, each holding a wooden sign in their hands.

"I'll add twenty taels."

"I'll add thirty taels."

"One hundred taels!"

"One hundred taels, is there anyone who wants to add more?" Master Guo looked around, "One hundred taels for the first time, one hundred taels for the second time, one hundred taels for the third time, deal!"

"Transaction amount: three thousand one hundred taels."

"Good stuff, good stuff."

Both parties pay the money and deliver the goods in person.

Jiang Zuo sat on the other side, very satisfied.

The auction had only been going on for one hour when the total transaction amount reached 98,000 taels.

After making some extra money, he packed his bags and ran away.

Jiang Zuo had already planned to settle accounts in his mind, and all the government officials were secretly preparing to flee south.

Today, almost all the wealthy young men within a hundred miles have gathered in Anding County.

As soon as the news of the auction was released yesterday, wealthy businessmen from all over the country came to buy goods.

After all, Lord Jiang Zuo's reputation is well-known in this area. Doing business with Lord Jiang will only make money!

Although sometimes, Lord Jiang does ask for a rather high price...

Inn.

"Auction, what is that?"

Chen Qingyun also heard the news and felt confused again.

"What is Jiang Zuo doing?" Chen Qingyun was very curious, "I want to see it myself."

When he arrived at the yamen, Chen Qingyun was immediately shocked by the scene before him.

Is this a government office or a busy city?

How can we do this in front of the government office?

Chen Qingyun was quite dissatisfied with Jiang Zuo's actions.

The bidding from the audience on and off the stage was even more incomprehensible to Chen Qingyun.

"What are they doing?" Chen Qingyun asked softly.

"Miss, I heard they call this an auction." Qiuyue replied.

"What is an auction?" During the past few days in Anding County, Chen Qingyun has been wondering whether she, the empress, is a frog in a well.

"That is, the one with the highest bid wins," Qiuyue explained.

“So that’s all.”

Chen Qingyun understood.

I want Jiangzuo to pay the tax, but he is selling goods here to make money?

Looking at this group of people shouting, Chen Qingyun couldn't help but feel puzzled.

These wealthy businessmen are all so generous.

Isn't this just a stupid person with a lot of money?

Chen Qingyun was extremely confused.

This little trick might be useful for fooling the playboys, but it is not something the empress would notice at all.

"Next, we will have the highlight of this auction." Master Guo on the stage introduced, "Please invite our Master Jiang to explain it to you personally."

Jiang Zuo stood up, holding a bottle of something unique in his hand, and said, "This is our Anding County's unique brand of Chanel perfume... Everyone, please smell it carefully."

As he spoke, Jiang Zuo opened the bottle and waved it gently.

The gentle breeze brings the unique fragrance in the bottle to everyone's nose.

“What a nice smell!”

"I don't know why, but I feel very comfortable after smelling it."

"What on earth is this thing that has such a special effect?"

The audience was amazed.

This is the taste!

Chen Qingyun just took a light sniff and immediately felt refreshed.

The fragrance I smelled at this moment was even better and more comfortable than the one Jiang Zuo sent me.

If she bought some and placed them in the palace, she would feel more relaxed and at ease when handling government affairs on weekdays.

The empress is busy with all kinds of affairs every day, and she needs to relax when she has free time.

Jiang Zuo is such a cunning guy. The bottle he sent yesterday only had a small amount, which was totally not enough.

Jiang Zuo was heard saying, "This kind of perfume is absolutely rare in the world. You can't afford to lose money by buying it. The starting price is fifty taels per tael. We have one hundred bottles in stock now. We'll bid them all at once. Is there any boss willing to buy them all?"

"It's good stuff, but buying 100 at a time is too much."

"And fifty taels a bottle is not a small amount."

"Master Jiang, can you buy a bottle first..."

someone asked.

"No." Jiang Zuo said, "This is the last stock. If you miss this opportunity, this perfume will be gone."

After a while, someone started to bid: "I'll add another two taels."

"Okay, add two taels, for the first time..."

The scene stopped.

"I'll add another two taels here, too."

At this time, Chen Qingyun suddenly shouted.

The person who made the first bid couldn't help but continue to raise the price, "Then I'll add another two taels."

You want to fight me with just this little bit of silver?

How could a dignified empress lose to this group of rich kids?

The empress's competitive spirit was immediately aroused.

Fifty taels per bottle, these one hundred bottles would cost five thousand taels.

Although it is a considerable amount, it is just a drop in the bucket for Chen Qingyun.

No one can take away what the empress wants.

"I'll add two hundred taels."

Chen Qingyun shouted.

Everyone couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.

"Who is so generous?"

Some people couldn't help but admire: "Whose daughter is this? She is so pretty."

Jiang Zuo looked carefully and found that it was Chen Qingyun. He was a little surprised and said, "It turned out to be Miss Chen, Boss Chen, OK, Boss Chen, two hundred and six taels for the first time..."

"Two hundred taels is a lot!" The man was shocked and had to put down his hand: "Forget it, I won't follow."

"Congratulations to Miss Chen for the successful auction."

"One hundred bottles of special perfume were auctioned successfully, a total of 25,600 taels of silver. Thank you, Boss Chen."

Twenty-five thousand six hundred taels?

"Didn't we just add just over 200 taels? Logically speaking, shouldn't it be over 5,000 taels? Where did the 20,000 taels come from?"

The agreed amount of five thousand suddenly became more than twenty thousand!

Isn't this treating people as fools?

"Miss Chen, the price increase just now is 206 taels per bottle." Jiang Zuo explained.
