I Conquer the World For My Duke

Soong Yiqing lowered his head. Of course he knew the crisis Soong Family was in, but he couldn't think of any good methods at this moment.

Bai Zheng's slender finger gently tapped the side of the teacup, her voice sweet and light, "Now, a method to calm the Great Zhou and not provoke it, is right in front of Young Master Soong."

Soong Yiqing raised his head, "What do you mean?"

"Two hundred thousand!" Bai Zheng answered, "Of course the more the better."

Soong Yiqing lowered his eyes and muttered to himself.

Obviously, the price of two hundred thousand gold had exceeded his original budget, which Bai Zheng could understand. After all, in this era, compulsory education was not universal, and the paper only benefited a portion of the literate people.

Moreover, most of the rich could read, so with this paper making technique in his hands, it would not be a big loss for him to control his Soong Family.

Soong Yiqing sighed, raised his head and said: "I understand, thank you Miss Bai."

"There's no need to thank me. I didn't do it for nothing. There's nothing to thank me for." Bai Zheng's eyes flashed.

Soong Yiqing was startled: "What do you mean?"

"Now that I've solved the Soong Family problem, and made the fortune for Soong Family so far, three thousand silver is not that much, right?" Bai Zheng's face bloomed into a big smile.

"You!"

That three thousand taels really did find me!

Soong Yiqing felt his chest tighten. Unexpectedly, he who was happily watching the show a few days ago had become the target of extortion in the blink of an eye.

"Young Master Soong thinks it's expensive? If I were to sell this information to the Lin Family, I'm afraid that even if the Lin Family Head gave me five thousand silver, he would not bat an eye. "

Although the Lin Family's business could not compare to Soong Family, it was still gradually improving. To any competitor, owning a patent was essential.

Moreover, it was not only his Soong Family that was being targeted by Feng Linche. Most likely, all the big families and merchants would not be able to avoid the fate of donating their Great Zhou to the imperial government for offending their business.

"Alright." Soong Yiqing closed his eyes. Did he still have a choice? This girl didn't give him any leeway.

"Three thousand silver will be sent to the Miss Bai's residence. As for today's treasure, Soong Family will definitely make it, its, its, its, and its value. " Soong Yiqing gritted his teeth as he said the last four words.

Bai Zheng stood up and patted her hands, "It's a deal."

But Soong Yiqing didn't want to give Bai Zheng another glance, he only nodded his head and pushed open the door to the private room, then walked out.

After seeing Soong Yiqing leave, Bai Zheng returned to her seat and took a sip of tea from the teacup. Only then did she laugh: "The tea of the Fifth Prince is truly good tea."

Right after he finished speaking, Feng Jingyi walked in with a puzzled expression: "Didn't you say you were talking to Soong Family? It's a good thing for the Soong Family. How come I just saw that Young Master Soong coming out with a face full of unhappiness? "

"Perhaps Young Master Soong has not reached the level of his father and brother? He was only focused on the next moment of failure and felt depressed. " Bai Zheng replied indifferently.

Feng Jingyi was speechless, although Soong Yiqing looked like a silkpants disciple, he was actually extremely shrewd. If he knew that he had been called shortsighted by a girl, who knows what kind of anger he would have.

Bai Zheng looked at the fully filled seats on the first floor, and thought that the auction was about to begin, so she stood up and bowed: "It has been a while since Bai Zheng left, if not father would worry. Thank you for your introduction today, Bai Zheng will be taking her leave. "

Feng Jingyi hurriedly said: "I have already told Assistant Minister Bai that Miss Bai is here to eat tea, there is no need to rush back, the auction will start soon."

"Sorry for the wait." Before Feng Jingyi could finish speaking, before the people from the bottom floor could even finish speaking, a voice filled with energy sounded out from the crowd and opened the stage with a smile.

The entire Treasure-collecting Tower instantly quietened down.

Hearing that, Bai Zheng knew that it was too late to go back, so she and Feng Jingyi looked at each other, and then sat back down on the chair.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Thank you for coming to participate in this month's Treasure-collecting Tower auction."

Bai Zheng looked down, only to see a middle aged man slowly walking out from behind the circular auction stage. He was tall and had a face full of blessings.

The man walked to the empty center of the auction stage and bowed to the people around him: "This month, Treasure-collecting Tower does not have many treasures to auction, but it is novel and interesting, I believe everyone has heard of it."

The man's voice wasn't loud, but because the entire Treasure-collecting Tower was extremely quiet, his voice could clearly be heard by everyone present.

"Everyone has already waited for so long, I don't want to cause any trouble, so I won't say much. Next, we will directly enter the treasure auction."

With that, scattered laughter came out from the crowd. It was obvious that the Auctioneer was satisfied.

Seeing that, the Auctioneer clapped her hands, her face became serious, and said loudly: "Now, the auction begins! Please open your eyes wide and look closely, for it is the first item to be auctioned for this month's Treasure-collecting Tower! "

Following his spirited voice, the empty round auction platform beneath his feet suddenly split open from the middle and a black square stone platform rose up from the bottom.

On the stone platform, there was a brown wooden box with the lid open. Inside, there was a red cloth, and in the center of the cloth, there was a large round pearl.

The third floor was covered in an exquisite veil. Although one could only see a blurry shadow from the outside, from the inside, one could clearly see what was going on outside.

Bai Zheng looked down from the third floor and saw that everyone seated on the two floors below had unconsciously straightened their backs. Everyone's eyes reflected the light of the pearls, it was extremely dazzling.

"This pearl is quite rare." Bai Zheng could not help but sigh. As the daughter of a Vice Minister of the third rank and Bai Yinan had always been an honest and honest man, she had almost never seen any kind of treasure in her memories.

"Miss Bai likes it a lot?" Feng Jingyi asked.

"I don't think I like it. I just find it novel." Bai Zheng said in a serious tone, "Bai Zheng is too vulgar, I have let Your Highness down."

Seeing that everyone had read enough, the Auctioneer started to introduce.

"This pearl is from the Black Mussel of the Western Regions. According to legend, there is only one in ten years. The pearl was rich and lustrous, with a rich luster. At night, it would emit a white glow. If you grind this pearl into powder, it will have the effect of preserving your skin for ten years. "

When these words were spoken, Bai Zheng could clearly see that downstairs, the eyes of almost all the women were flashing with green light, as if they were wolves that had seen food.

Bai Zheng shook her head, she could not help but sigh, in this world, it is truly easy for women to earn money.

Seeing everyone's expression, Auctioneer was clearly very satisfied: "Old rules, starting from 100 taels, each time you raise your number plate, it will increase by 100 taels."

With that, the Auctioneer waved her hand: "Treasure-collecting Tower first auction this month, Face Setting Bead, begin!"

Just as he finished his sentence, someone on the first floor raised his number plate, "Two hundred taels!"

"Three hundred taels!"

"Five hundred liang!"

"Eight hundred liang!" A voice came from the third floor.

Bai Zheng looked towards the source of the voice, and could not see the person inside. Feng Jingyi said in a low voice from the side: "That is the room that Chu Feng is in."

Chu Feng?
