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

One has to admit that Xiao Heitan's brain is very useful. This is simply a stroke of genius. She managed to increase the donated silver of hundreds of thousands of taels by almost 10 times through a series of fancy operations. What kind of lucky star is this? This is clearly a boy who brings wealth!

This wonderful misunderstanding thus came into being.

The court officials and some businessmen had a dispute with the young prince, and the young prince also had a dispute with them. They had only one goal: they must win today.

Soon the amount of money involved reached 180 million taels. At this point, everyone felt a little regretful and calmed down. They felt that their previous actions were too hasty and impulsive, and they wanted to withdraw.

They found that they had reached halfway up the mountain. It was difficult to move forward and even more difficult to move backward. This state of being neither up nor down was the most difficult.

Finally, after a rest and some thought, I decided to continue. Even if some people can't get back the cost they paid even if they win, they can still get back some.

So, everyone gathered some silver and threw it in. The little prince and these people were biting each other, and the fight was very intense. He was always a little bit higher than the other side.

Even towards the end, everyone suspected that the young prince had committed fraud, thinking that it was impossible for them to have so much silver in their palace.

At this time, the Minister of Revenue, who had been keeping an eye on the lists on both sides, came out to dispel the rumors, saying that the young prince's donation had all been received, and there was no such thing as fraud or deception. The donations were real money, and he could guarantee it.

Everyone saw that the Minister of Revenue had spoken out, so they knew it was true. Because Minister Chen of the Ministry of Revenue was a well-known miser, never giving a penny and being impartial.

Anyone can lie, but this man cannot. When there is no money, the government cannot get it from him, let alone others.

Looking at his face that is about to smile like Maitreya Buddha, what is there to not understand? The national treasury is full again, but he is smiling like that, which makes people feel creepy. He might as well keep a sullen face all day long like before, at least it would be more pleasing to the eye.

In order to support this competition, Minister Chen specially asked the emperor for an order to exempt from curfew tonight and to extend the time of the event, announcing that the event would not end until the end of the hour of Hai.

The common people in the capital were also completely crazy with joy. No one wanted to stay at home. Everyone came to the streets and alleys to inquire about the latest news. Some people even went to the front of the No. 1 Restaurant in the World to sit quietly, enjoy the cool air and cool off, just to get the first-hand new news.

There were also people who sat quietly in front of the Meridian Gate and ate melons.

Shen Ruyi was very generous. She provided all kinds of herbal tea for free. She also took out some watermelons that she had stored in the space before and had them cut up and distributed to everyone. There wasn't much, but she made sure everyone got a small piece, as a way to celebrate in advance that she had made a lot of money.

The reputation of Tianxia Diyilou was already good, and with what happened in recent days, its reputation has been even better. It is different from other restaurants.

No matter how famous other restaurants are, they have little to do with ordinary people like them. Those restaurants are very far away from them and all look high and mighty.

He doesn't look like the boss of Tianxia Diyilou, but is very down-to-earth. He feels like a kid from the neighborhood, and treats the neighbors with snacks and food when they come over.

"The young owner of Tianxia Diyilou is very generous. He deserves to be rich."

"Who says it's not true? If we go to other restaurants to gather and stay outside, but don't go in to eat or drink, they'd be lucky if they don't send someone out to chase us away. How could they possibly treat us to free food and drinks?"

"That's right, the No. 1 building in the world is very generous. It's really amazing. Look, the amount of donations here is almost the same as that of the imperial court. How powerful and influential it must be to achieve this. It's amazing. I admire them more than anyone else."

"Yes, I heard that the owner of Tianxia Diyilou just donated another 10 taels to support our victory. He is so rich and generous."

"Who says it's not true? I still think this side is better. Look how united the people are here."

"That's right, this side will definitely win. On the imperial list, only Prince Ning's family is struggling to hold on. I think they will soon be unable to hold on, considering how much money they have already invested. What do you think?"

"I think so too. I've never heard that their palace is so rich."

"That's right, is Prince Ning's mansion so rich? Haven't you heard of it? Where do you think they get so much money?"

"Is that what you said?"

"Isn't it corruption?"

"Bullshit, impossible. There are no people sent out from their palace. The jobs that the young prince has taken over in recent years are all under the nose of the emperor. How can he get the opportunity to be greedy? The emperor is quite poor. If it is so easy to be greedy, it probably won't be his turn. What do you think?"

"The analysis makes sense. What do you think? Is it possible that the money was earned by the young prince? He has been making a lot of money with Mr. Shen recently. The business of Tianxia Diyilou is so hot. And the vegetables and fruits were sold at such high prices some time ago. Someone has calculated the accounts. They should have made a lot of money."

"What you said makes a lot of sense."

"I guess you're right."

……

A wonderful misunderstanding has arisen again. The information obtained by the grassroots people has always been one-sided and mostly superficial. The information that others want you to know cannot dig up the core issues and causes at all.

Minister Chen had imagined it was a wonderful thing, and he was already gearing up for the harvest. He even sent people to pass messages back and forth between the two sides.

As a result, as the competition went on, the price of Tianxia Diyi Lou was stuck at 223 million taels and there was no further increase. It had no momentum left.

Just to be on the safe side, the young prince threw in another 10 taels, thinking that should be enough.

Shen Ruyi was also watching every moment, like a typical gambler, mainly because the deal today was a bit big, and if he was not careful he would lose most of his family fortune.

It is better to avoid doing this. First, it is hard to bear. Second, this operation is more or less unethical. It is relying on the power of capital to attack and reap these leeks.

These leeks are more or less innocent.

In the end, the price of Tianxia Diyilou reached 237 million taels and stopped moving, while the price of the imperial court directly increased to 248 million taels, and the time was up.

Minister Chen announced the victory on the court list with great reluctance.

With the announcement of the final result, many people's hearts were instantly shattered into pieces and could not be picked up again.

He clearly wanted to make a profit if he won, but ended up losing all the money he should and shouldn't have lost, and ended up crying loudly.

The lights at the gambling house were even brighter, and there was a lot of noise and crying. Everyone was regretting and blaming Prince Ning's Mansion.

Shen Ruyi sent more people to retrieve the winning money overnight to avoid any further trouble.
