I want to ruin the country

Yining looked at his face, which was sweeter than bee droppings, and said,

"Old man, are you still going to make things difficult for me?"

Ruijin's old face turned red.

"Your Majesty, although the money comes quickly, some of it is not legitimate. From now on..."

Yining teased him deliberately.

"Okay, okay, I won't do it anymore, and you don't have to share the money!"

Ruijin was a man of integrity. He thought the emperor was really going to regret it, so he said to the emperor in a serious tone,

"That won't do. How can a king go back on his word?"

Yining Road,

"You pretend to be good people, and getting scolded is my business. It's not that easy!"

Ruijin said hurriedly,

"I won't say anything more. I know I was wrong!"

Yining teased him deliberately,

"Would you like to go to dinner with them tonight?"

Ruijin was in trouble.

"Uh……"

Yining didn't want to tease him anymore.

"Forget it, I won't make it difficult for you. Just let the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs accompany them. Don't give them too much face!"

Ruijin knelt down hurriedly to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"

He still feels disgusted when he is asked to accompany a bunch of nouveau riche to dinner!

The evening event was a banquet to celebrate the emperor's death.

This was very different from lunch. The banquet was held in the Qianqing Palace. A total of 31 people were arranged at five tables, and there were officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs at each table to urge people to drink and serve food.

Those who received 10,000 taels of silver cannot participate. Some people really regret it. It’s just 100,000 taels of silver. I have it too. Why should I feel bad?

There is no medicine for regret, it’s too late to say anything now!

Those who can participate are so happy. It is such a great honor to have an imperial banquet in the Qianqing Palace.

Apart from the top three high school students who are selected every three years, who else can have such a face!

Those scholars earned their success through ten years of hard study, but we did it with only 100,000 taels of silver. It was worth it!

After all, time is money, and money can’t buy time. Can one hundred thousand taels of silver buy ten years of time? No, we have made a lot of money!

Delicacies came one after another, and they couldn’t even count how many dishes there were in the end. They estimated there were about fifty or sixty!

Ingredients that are rarely seen in normal times are very common here.

There were all kinds of famous liquors and rice wines from all over the country. These people were eating and drinking, and although they didn't dare to make loud noises, the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The people serving the dishes are eunuchs who are rarely seen in normal times. What an honor it is!

Haha, I can brag about it for the rest of my life!

The next morning, before nine o'clock, the auction venue was already full, because the Emperor was coming today and everyone wanted to catch a glimpse of him.

At nine o'clock sharp, Yining arrived at the venue with a large crowd of people following him.

Following behind were Prince Gong, Minister of Revenue Ruijin, and Minister of Rites Zaiyuan.

Everyone was so excited to see the emperor that they all lay down and shouted "Long live the emperor!"

Yining smiled and asked everyone to stand up.

"Everyone, I won't say much now, let's see who is the big winner today!

According to the value of the auction items, today I have also personally selected the first, second and third places, which are equivalent to the top three in the palace examination.

I will personally put a big red flower on him, are you looking forward to it?"

Everyone answered,

"expect!"

"Well, we'll wait and see!"

Prince Gong and Ruijin said in their hearts, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are so mean. You won't be satisfied until you take all the money from these people!"

Just based on these few words of yours, even a piece of dirt can be used to smash someone's head into a dog's head!

Today's rules have changed slightly. Raising a red flag once means an increase of one thousand taels, raising a green flag once means an increase of ten thousand taels, and raising a yellow flag once means an increase of fifty thousand taels.

The first item to be auctioned today is a night-shining pearl the size of an egg.

A eunuch drew the curtains and the room became dark. Now everyone opened their eyes and saw that the night pearl was glowing faintly, and the appearance of people who were close could be seen. It was indeed a great treasure!

The host introduced

This night pearl was copied from Heshen's house and comes from the Western Regions. There is only one night pearl of this size in the world.

This night pearl was originally presented to Emperor Qianlong, but was embezzled by Heshen.

If it weren’t for this night pearl, Heshen would not have died!

Of course, today is different. This is an opportunity given to us by the emperor, so we must seize it!

The starting price of this night pearl is 100,000 taels of silver.

People were excited when they heard this. One hundred thousand taels, isn’t that like giving it away for free? Grab it!

Ma Hanshan, the richest man in Beijing, was the first to raise the green flag and increase the price by 10,000.

He is from a wealthy family, and this time he paid 410,000 taels of silver in order to have a meal with the emperor!

Before the host could say anything, Qiao Sansheng from Shanxi Ticket Office raised the price by 50,000.

There is no doubt about their family's strength. They have money houses and bill shops all over the country. This time they also paid 410,000 taels of silver.

Shen Boming, a large landowner in Liangxiang, raised the price by 50,000.

Although he does not live in the capital, he is a wealthy local like Ma Hanshan. His village is called Wanqingzhuang, and the surrounding area is all owned by their family. They are very rich!

Ma Hanshan became anxious and directly picked up the yellow card and raised the price by 50,000.

The price reached 260,000.

Qiao Sansheng raised the price by another 50,000, bringing it to 310,000.

Shen Boming raised the price by another 50,000, bringing it to 360,000.

Ma Hanshan raised the yellow card again, reaching 410,000.

Qiao Sansheng was unwilling to fall behind. It was just money. He had no shortage of money, but there was only one night pearl, so he raised the price by another 50,000.

It reached 460,000.

Shen Boming also raised the price by 50,000 taels, bringing it to 510,000.

After another five rounds, the price reached 1.16 million.

At this time, a middle-aged man sitting in the back raised his hand.

"I'll add 200,000!"

"what!"

Everyone turned around to look, who is this person?

He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, wearing a sable-skin coat and a sea dragon hat. He looked smart except for a pair of sunglasses.

He has been sitting in the back these past two days, not talking much and not communicating with others much!

He bid several times, but in the end got nothing.

Why did you suddenly burst out with energy today?

The three people who were bidding 50,000 at a time were all wondering where this dark horse came from, and why he started with a price of 200,000!

The host shouted,

"One million three hundred and sixty thousand, is there anyone else who wants to add more?

One million three hundred and sixty thousand once, one million three hundred and sixty thousand twice!"

Shen Boming suddenly stood up,

"I'll add 300,000!"

The whole place fell silent. Shen Boming was afraid that the middle-aged man would stand up and cause trouble again, so he looked at him with a guilty look.

As expected, the middle-aged man stood up. Shen Boming began to tremble in his heart, thinking, damn, if he comes together, it will cost hundreds of thousands more.

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man sat down again.

The host shouted,

"One million six hundred and sixty thousand, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

"One million six hundred and sixty thousand once!"

"One million six hundred and sixty thousand twice!"

Seeing that no one raised their hands, the host shouted,

"One million, six hundred and sixty thousand three times, deal!"
