Infinite Streamer

With a minimum of 10,000 taels of silver, you can own that peerless treasure, the No. 1 Night-Shining Pearl, a rare and dazzling item that is only the size of a pigeon egg but always emits a dazzling and mystical color!

The jewelry merchants and wealthy merchants present all felt that it would be great if they could get this night-shining pearl for 10,000 taels of silver. Even if they could get it for 100,000 or 80,000 taels of silver, it would still be worth it! But obviously, the rules of this auction would not stop at 100,000 or 80,000 taels of silver. It seemed that they could only wait and see who was stronger!

As expected, the situation was basically consistent with everyone's expectations. Merchants who raised their placards to bid came one after another in a very short period of time, and the bids were repeatedly refreshed to higher and higher values, making the climax of the bidding in full swing wave after wave.

Until Guan Yu shouted "One hundred and eighty thousand taels three times, deal!" Then Guan Yu announced the bidder's location and license plate number, who turned out to be a mysterious wealthy guest accompanied by Mr. Wang, the largest jewelry merchant in Jiezhou City. It was said that the background behind him was the most powerful of the Ten Attendants (Zhao Zhong). The final price of the bidding ended at one hundred and eighty-eight thousand taels.

Guan Yu arranged for Li Su and five personal guards to go to the accounting office with the successful bidders to handle the transaction formalities. Then all the candles in the reception hall were lit again and the second item for auction was launched.

The second item for auction was a two-meter-high mirror with both sides. When four personal guards carried the mirror out from the side room, all the merchants were stunned!

Although every merchant present had used a bronze mirror to dress or wash their face, and they were all aware that what was in the mirror in front of them was their true face, the clarity was extremely high, hundreds or thousands of times clearer than a bronze mirror, and it reflected all the scenery in such a large scale that it was enough to make people of this era who saw the mirror for the first time marvel at it!

So, after another round of fierce bidding, this giant double-sided mirror was sold at a sky-high price of 80,000 taels!

Afterwards, various glowing jade bracelets, glowing necklaces, glowing earrings, glowing hairpins, various exquisite glowing dressing mirrors, glowing jade watermelons, glowing jade cabbages, and various glowing fruit-shaped glass products all appeared on the bidding booths one after another.

Without exception, they were all sold at a sky-high price of at least 20 taels of silver or even taels of silver.

Everyone in the audience was very happy. What a wonderful night! What did we experience? There were so many rare treasures. Many people had lived for decades and had never seen any of the rare treasures tonight. But we saw all kinds of rare treasures in one night!

The merchants who spent a fortune were also very happy because they had the only rare treasure in the world! The happiest person in the audience was Li Su, who counted the silver until his hands cramped! He had to watch the other guards continue to count the silver.

The final statistics show that 1.89 million taels of silver were received tonight, and about half of the silver will have to be collected within three days.

You have to know that at that time, one or two taels of silver could allow an ordinary civilian family to enjoy a happy and carefree time for almost a year!

At this time, social contradictions in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were becoming increasingly severe. Even Emperor Ling of Han himself had been selling official positions to make money. As the saying goes, what the superiors like, the subordinates will follow suit. Corruption and bribery became rampant, and they exploited the people in various ways. As a result, the chronic disease of land annexation became more and more serious, making the rich richer and the poor poorer, seriously increasing the burden on the lower-class people. Many poor and helpless people had to leave their homes and became displaced refugees.
