Since there is space, it is naturally the best to buy it for 0 yuan

After the young prince finished speaking, he said to Xiao Ningzi, "Well, Xiao Ningzi, send a few more people to keep an eye on the price and see how much it will eventually rise.

By the way, quietly tell my mother that when the price over there reaches the upper limit, don't rush to agree, delay a little."

"Yes, master." After saying that, he went downstairs.

"This is all I can do. I can't help you with anything else, or it would be unethical.

Even if I agree, my mother will not agree."

"I understand, I understand. This is very good."

The young prince asked knowingly, "Why did you have to buy this? It's so expensive. Although it's really good, it's really expensive now."

Li Cheng pointed to the sky and said, "That lady's birthday is coming."

Now that I know this, I can't hide it, so I just tell it directly.

Thinking of the people in Prince Ning's Mansion, they didn't like the Empress Dowager very much, so they could only speak vaguely.

The young prince snorted, "I was saying it before, our palace's banquet has been turned into a large-scale sales scene, it turns out it was caused by the Queen Mother's birthday.

Every year, a large number of troops are mobilized, and the people are exhausted and money is wasted. Just look at these two gifts, a million taels of silver have been spent.

It’s too extravagant. This doesn’t even include the silver for other gifts. It’s too extravagant.”

Li Cheng could only listen with a smile. Others dared to complain, but he didn't.

It is luxurious enough, but as a low-level official, if you want to live like a human being, you have to scheme for personal gain; otherwise, you can't move forward.

Although it is a luxury, the wool comes from the sheep and you will always make it back.

If you want to be protected by others, you have to pay what you have to pay.

Otherwise, why would others protect you?

It’s all an exchange of interests and values.

Be glad that you have value to be used by others. What is scary is that no one is willing to use you.

The young prince sighed, stopped talking, and started drinking tea.

Li Cheng, on his side, was also waiting anxiously, his heart was so anxious that sparks appeared on his face, but he had to appear calm on the surface.

I'm afraid something might go wrong along the way.

After a while, Xiao Ningzi came back.

"Master, the current price offered by Madam Yin is 50 taels, and the other two ladies have stopped bidding."

After hearing this, the young prince asked directly, "Lord Li, what do you think?"

Li Cheng thought about it and decided that he couldn't continue bidding. He might as well add a little bit and settle it.

"Little Prince, I am willing to pay 52 taels to buy it!"

"Then let's just settle it?"

"Little Prince, let's decide!"

The young prince thought about it for a while, and said to Xiao Ningzi, "Okay, then let's make it happen. You can tell my mother that someone has already spent 52 taels to buy it, and the money has been paid, so just stop it there."

"Yes!"

After listening to this, Li Cheng immediately started counting the banknotes. Yes, he was quick to pay, and the other party had nothing to say.

Although I paid a little more, money can be earned back if it is spent.

Besides, this time I accidentally got in touch with the young prince.

Thanks to this transaction, we can at least say hello to each other next time we meet.

Maybe I can get an invitation to the palace at the next banquet.

He directly counted out 52 taels of silver notes, a thick stack, and pushed it in front of the young prince.

"Little Prince, please click the amount."

"The cashier is coming soon, let them order."

Not long after the young prince finished speaking, the accountant arrived.

After seeing the gift, directly click the amount and check the authenticity.

After the accountant checked the inventory and found no problems, he left.

As for Xiao Ningzi, after she replied to the princess, the scene suddenly became quiet.

The princess said angrily, "Chi'er is too unreliable. Doesn't he know that someone wants it here? They've already bid for it."

"My princess, the young prince said that we were too slow, while the people over there were quick and efficient in their words and actions, and their bids were straightforward and they were paid all at once.

The young prince said that he had already been bad enough for his friend, so he didn't want to let him down again in terms of price.

So, seeing that the price was high, I just decided to sell it!"

Mrs. Yin's expression kept changing, but she had to say, "It's okay, it's okay."

She couldn't afford to offend the palace. What else could she do except admit defeat?

I can only blame myself for not bidding hard enough. I should have raised the price a little more.

But the upper limit of the authority my husband has given me is only this high.

The other two ladies had secret joy flashing in their eyes.

People are so strange. They don’t like people who are with them or at the same level as them to live better than themselves.

Since I can't get it, I hope you can't get it either.

It doesn’t matter who gets it in the end.

At least, we are all the same, we haven't got it, but we are still at the same starting line, that's enough.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wang stood up and saluted.

"My Lady Princess, the matter of the mirror has been settled. We have the audacity to bother you for a long time today. Thank you for your hospitality today. I have to take my leave now."

Then the other two ladies also stood up and bowed to take their leave.

This matter finally came to a successful conclusion.

A full 95 taels of silver. I can’t even imagine it!

These 95 taels of silver were obtained by plundering the people's blood and sweat.

In the end, it was just to please the Queen Mother.

You don't know until you blow it up, and once you blow it up, everything will be exposed. These officials are richer than each other.

At this moment, the princess really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

After the young prince saw Li Cheng off, he hurried over to the princess.

When he saw that there was no one else around, he whispered that the two families had given him a total of 11 taels, saying it was a thank-you fee given to him separately.

When the princess saw her stupid son, she finally wised up for once and didn't make it known to everyone.

But after thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't tell anyone about this, but you need to tell the government and get the government's approval."

"Why? This is not a bribe. This is a reward for my hard work as a middleman."

“But everything that happened today was accomplished in our palace. It represents not only you as an individual, but also our palace.

So, you have to pay the money and see how the government handles it in the end."

We are currently trusted by the government, which is not too bad. But if one day, they no longer trust us, it will be a living handle.

It would be better to nip it in the bud.

The young prince said unhappily, "Well, your majesty is also short of money, and I guess you may never come back."

Even if you go there and never come back, you still have to hand it over.

"Xiao Hei... Tan, didn't I promise to give you 9% of your hard work fee? 5 taels, that's a lot."

"That's right, mother. Then should I give the silver to Little Black Charcoal now?"

"Little Black Charcoal is not in a hurry. You go to the palace first. I will send Little Black Charcoal to you tomorrow.

This incident is too big, and I guess a lot of people are watching you. It's over, you two can meet tomorrow, let's meet at the restaurant."

"Okay, I'll listen to mother."
