I Conquer the World For My Duke

"I promise you!" Su Muxiao screamed, "Hurry and report! "Quickly report!"

"Nineteen hundred thousand!" Just as Su Muxiao finished speaking, she raised the number plate in her hand and shouted.

Auctioneer's hand stopped in midair, and her entire Treasure-collecting Tower quieted down once again.

"Sizzle ~"

There was the sound of something shattering.

Feng Jingyi tightly held onto his chest. He was already so heartbroken that he couldn't speak anymore.

His mind was blank and his ears were buzzing. He could not hear what was happening outside. He raised his eyes, as if a servant had ran in to help Su Muxiao, who was sitting on the ground, and a few waiters had tidied up the mess in the room.

He looked at Bai Zheng who was standing at the side. Her fair face had a smile that was not a smile.

"I hope that the Shang clan will send those twenty thousand taels to our doorstep earlier. Otherwise, the Fifth Prince won't be able to gather this much money."

Su Muxiao looked deeply at Bai Zheng, her eyes burning with a blazing fury. After a long while, she finally turned around with the little girl's support, gritting her teeth as she said: "You don't have to worry."

Bai Zheng laughed, it was sweet and light, like an oriole in the forest.

"Zheng knows that her work has always been safe. Even if she was more impulsive today, she shouldn't use such a large sum of money to joke around.

Seeing Su Muxiao slow down and turn her face, Bai Zheng sighed and continued.

"Cousin is a kind-hearted person who doesn't put up any defenses when interacting with others. She probably never thought about why she would always be the one to suffer."

Su Muxiao staggered and said stiffly: "You don't need to care!"

Bai Zheng did not mind and nodded: "Cousin sister, take care."

"One hundred ninety thousand!" Auctioneer's voice sounded.

Bai Zheng acted as if she did not hear anything, she returned to her chair, picked up a fresh set of tea, and started to eat.

When she went out to eat dinner, she was tossed about by Su Muxiao just now. Bai Zheng finally felt hungry.

She ate a few mouthfuls, and when she looked up, she realised Feng Jingyi was holding onto his chest, his face pale and eyes lifeless, staring at his blankly. Only then did she remember that she had not explained everything properly to him, and immediately put down the tea in his hand.

"Fifth Prince, don't worry. There will be people who will sincerely buy this paper making technique. You don't have to worry about money. As for the twenty thousand silver, just consider it as Bai Zheng repeatedly shocking your highness to apologize. "

Bai Zheng said as she held the teapot on the table and poured some tea into the cup in front of Feng Jingyi, smiling apologetically and ingratiatingly.

Hearing Bai Zheng's words, Feng Jingyi gradually found his voice, and heard himself asking that question.

"Are you talking about the Third Elder Brother?"

"I'm afraid that Third Prince is happy to see how you will pay." Bai Zheng shook her head.

"190,000 gold, second time!"

Auctioneer's voice made Feng Jingyi unconsciously tremble, but his thoughts started to become clearer and clearer.

From the moment Feng Jingxuan raised the price to 140,000, none of the merchants followed along. On one hand, the price of one hundred and forty thousand yuan was not something that ordinary people could bear. On the other hand, the price of one hundred and forty thousand yuan was not something that ordinary people could bear.

But now, the situation was completely different. The treasury was empty to the point that they couldn't even afford the 200,000 taels of silver needed for the disaster relief. How could any prince easily pay 190,000 taels of silver?

Therefore, no matter who announced the final price, it was no longer the same as stealing from the royal family. Rather, it was to create a stable stage for the princes who had reported the high price so that they could walk down with dignity and not fall miserably.

Looking at the entire Treasure-collecting Tower, who could possibly save him with two hundred thousand silver?

Feng Jingyi's eyes instantly focused, and a red figure appeared in his mind.

Bai Zheng's gaze once again turned to the room that had maintained its silence. No one knew why she wasn't thinking about Soong Yiqing, but the man dressed in green, whose face was pale yet gentle.

Since he did not have a good physique and did not participate in the auction from the beginning to end, what was his purpose in coming here?

Whispers began to sound downstairs, and the fight over the paper crafting was coming to an end. The people below began to get restless. Some sighed regretfully, some clasped their hands together and began chanting.

Because of his arrival, this era had undergone a great change in advance. It was unknown whether it was good or bad.

"Two hundred thousand!" While Bai Zheng was in a daze, a low and deep voice finally sounded.

Auctioneer was startled, and her face started to show excitement.

Though Treasure-collecting Tower had once sold for a sky-high price of three hundred thousand gold, that was already a hundred years ago. At the end of the previous dynasty, the emperor had spent so much money to get this price.

However, since the beginning of the dynasty, not to mention two hundred thousand taels of silver, even a hundred thousand taels of silver could be counted on one hand!

Feng Jingyi narrowed his eyes: "What benefits did Miss Bai give Young Master Soong?"

Bai Zheng laughed, there was no longer a need to hide the truth, "To tell you the truth, found this paper making technique."

"What!" Feng Jingyi was shocked.

"I have finally lived up to my expectations with the two hundred thousand silver that Prince required."

"Just for the sake of annulling Chu Feng's marriage, you sold off such a good thing?" Feng Jingyi felt an inconceivable feeling never before.

This wasn't 20 taels, this was 200,000 taels! If it was in her own hands, then even Chu Feng didn't dare to do anything to her with her status and value.

"It's precisely because it's such a good item that Bai Zheng, an insignificant third grade vice minister's daughter, cannot afford it." Bai Zheng said indifferently.

Bai Yinan had just gotten out of the corruption case, and his Bai Mansion was still at the tip of the iceberg. He had just arrived at this foreign world for a short while, and didn't have any capital or connections, nor did he have any trump cards to continue standing.

After all, it was a big tree that attracted the wind. The current her was already high-profile enough, so it was better for her not to cause too much trouble.

What's more … Bai Zheng smiled. It was just paper making, she had a lot of these kinds of good things.

Feng Jingyi looked at Bai Zheng in realization. After mumbling for a long time, he finally said: "Miss Bai is right." There was a sense of empathy in his tone.

"200,000 silver, deal!" Auctioneer's gavel heavily slammed down.

The most boisterous and intense paper creation auction in the last hundred years of Treasure-collecting Tower was finally confirmed by the sound of the gavel.

Bai Zheng smiled, raised her teacup and touched Feng Jingyi's cup: "Cheers!"

Feng Jingyi was startled: "Tch? "Che'er?"

Bai Zheng reacted and laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's the dialect of my grandfather's family. to celebrate. "

"Dong, dong, dong."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Bai Zheng shouted.

The door was pushed open. It was the same manager he had met last time.

The manager took out a gold ingot from his sleeve, and walked in front of Bai Zheng, and said respectfully.

"This is here for you from the Young Master Soong who bought it. It was originally two hundred thousand silvers, and as usual, he is going to take ten percent of it from the Treasure-collecting Tower, with the remaining one hundred and eighty thousand silvers. "With this gold spindle carved with the characters' Song 'as the basis."

In this era, there was no paper, so naturally, there was no silver notes. The business of Soong Family was huge, it was very inconvenient to do business without banknotes. When trading with others, one would usually use the golden spindle with the word "Song" carved on it as a basis, ensuring that they could exchange for silver from any of the merchants in Soong Family.

Bai Zheng took the gold ingot and frowned.

Damn, she had forgotten the draw.
