"I will pay 5,000 guan to buy your gold..."

Li Yun suddenly spoke and shouted an astonishingly high price to the merchant.

However, he immediately added, saying with regret: "But the rules cannot be broken. The auction is a cash transaction. You just shouted a high price of 200,000 yuan, but after shouting, you said you need to go back to raise money. This is a violation of the rules. It should be punished. However, I will not punish you for the time being, because you are the first person to violate the rules."

This is strange. The first person who violates the rules should be punished heavily.

Li Yun saw that everyone was confused and explained directly: "My trading center is a start-up, and many rules have not yet been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The merchant hurriedly shouted for the price because he did not understand the auction rules! Since ancient times, there have been words that if you have no intention, you can get a little exemption, so I will not punish you, but no one will give you a lighter time if you have another... Because, this example already exists, and if you have another next time, it is intentional..."

As he said a little, his tone suddenly turned cold. This time he did not explain to some people, but looked at the entire trading compound and said in a singular manner: "Anyone who is rushing and shouting will be killed without mercy and will destroy his clan..."

This is a matter that must be strictly regulated.

You must not yell at auctions.

If this rule cannot be established, there will definitely be people shouting and raising gouging in the future.

You must be ruthless and let everyone know this rule.

And it is not enough to kill the people who shout alone, because they cannot have the deterrent shock. The families of major families in this era will keep dead soldiers in captivity. What if a dead soldier is sent to shout and slap the price?

Therefore, it is necessary to use the method of involuntary conspiracy to destroy the clan of those who shout randomly.

Only in this way can the rules be established...

...

After Li Yun said this murderously, his face returned to a warm smile as warm as spring breeze.

He looked at the Western Regions merchant again and said in a gentle tone: "You said you wanted to give me gold. I appreciate this kindness, but I can't take advantage of you, otherwise I will make money by relying on the rules. But I also love this piece of natural gold very much. How about I buy it from you for 5,000 guan?"

The merchant was obviously in a low mood and said sadly: "I just want to buy a secret recipe."

Li Yun smiled and said, "There are twenty secret recipes, maybe the price will drop in the end..."

The merchant shook his head and said bitterly: "Impossible, impossible. I have been eavesdropping on everyone's discussion all day long. I know that your secret recipes are really attractive. If you use the method of slowly increasing the bid, each secret recipe will not be less than 300,000 yuan, so I will directly shout out 200,000 yuan, wanting to buy one with this scary price increase."

He sighed and murmured: "It's a pity that I only have this piece of gold, which is only worth three thousand guan. I wanted to give it to you and get a fundraising opportunity. As long as you give me this opportunity, I will definitely raise money when I return to my hometown. The secret recipe is so important..."

He said and smiled bitterly, and suddenly sat down on the ground, holding the piece of gold in his arms, his face becoming extremely dull.

Li Yun saw his mouth keep murmuring, as if he was muttering something in a low voice. At this time, the wind was whistling, and only some intermittent sentences could be heard. The merchant seemed to be saying: "Songzan Gampo drove me out of Tubo, but I also had noble blood flowing on my body. I was unwilling, I was unwilling, if I had honeycomb coal, if I had honeycomb coal..."

Li Yun's heart moved and suddenly walked to the edge of the platform.

He bent his legs and squatted down, squatted on the edge of the platform and looked at the merchants, and suddenly said, "Do you know, your gold is worth more than 3,000 guan. If you follow the market price of the Tang Dynasty, you will have at least 16,000 guan. I just wanted to buy it for 5,000 guan, but it has actually taken advantage of you..."

The merchant was sitting on the ground depressed, and raised his head blankly when he heard this.

He thought Li Yun was comforting himself, and tried hard to squeeze out a bitter smile on his face.

Li Yun's eyes flashed a few times, and suddenly stood up and looked into the distance. A group of people happened to appear there. It was Li Shimin who had just walked out of the warm pavilion with his ministers in the Tang Dynasty.

"His Majesty……"

Li Yun bowed his hand from the ground, then pointed to the gold in the hands of the merchant on the ground, and shouted: "There is a piece of natural dog-headed gold here, weighing up to 11 kilograms and four liang. This merchant from Tubo believes that gold is only worth 3,000 jin. I told him that this piece of gold can cost at least 16,000 jin, but he didn't believe it, thinking that I lied to him. You are the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, so why don't you make a conclusion..."

Li Shimin's eyes were obviously flashing.

The emperor heard the word "Tubo" that Li Yun suggested clearly.

With Li Shimin's shrewdness, how can this opportunity be missed?

The emperor nodded without hesitation and said solemnly: "Gold weighs eleven pounds and four ounces, and at least 16,000 ounces."

The Tubo merchant was stunned for a moment and subconsciously murmured: "So my gold is worth 16,000 guan?"

Li Yun and Li Shimin did not lie to him in this regard.

Why do merchants think they are only worth 3,000 guan, while Li Yun and Li Shimin think they are worth 16,000 guan?

The reason is very simple, it involves exchange rate conversion.

For example, the Tang Dynasty officials set a thousand coins to be Yiguan, but in fact eight hundred coins can be used to be made into Yiguan. Now it is the first year of Zhenguan, and the official price of one or two silver taels is threeguan.

But because there is too little silver, one or two silver can actually be exchanged for at least five jin of money.

There is even less gold, because gold has always been a thing that suppresses the treasury. In the first year of Zhenguan, although the official price of one tael of gold is equal to fifteen taels of silver, no one is willing to exchange it if it really needs to be exchanged, and at least it has to be doubled for thirty taels of exchange before someone is willing to.

This piece of dog head weighs eleven pounds and four ounces, and it can be at least 3,100 taels of silver.

How many copper coins can three thousand one hundred silver be exchanged for?

In the Tang Dynasty, it can be exchanged for at least 16,000 guan.

Even so, those with gold may not be willing to exchange it.

This incident was obviously a surprise for the merchant. Unfortunately, he soon became depressed again and said with a sad face: "Even if it is worth 16,000 guan, I still can't afford the secret recipe. 16,000 guan, I have lost more than ten, 16,000 guan..."

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, slowly got up from the ground, holding the piece of gold in his arms, his face numb and wanted to leave.

Li Yun's eyes flashed.

Li Shimin's eyes flashed in the distance.

The two had almost no communication, but they reached a tacit understanding in their hearts.

"etc!"

Li Shimin suddenly spoke, then stepped forward to the merchant.

The emperor seemed to be attracted by the gold in the arms of the merchant. His eyes turned and stared at the gold. After a long time, the emperor took a deep breath and said in shock: "I just focused on speculating on the value, but I actually ignored that this thing was made of natural, dog-headed gold, which weighed eleven pounds and four ounces..."

Li Yun jumped off the platform and rushed to the emperor with great exaggeration. He spoke in a hurry and panic: "Your Majesty, don't rob me, don't rob me."

"Ah hahaha!"

Li Shimin only laughed loudly, as if he was extremely proud.

This behavior made the merchant stunned.

At this moment, I suddenly saw another person standing next to the emperor. It was Sun Wuji, the Minister of Revenue of the Tang Dynasty. This guy was also full of surprise and ecstasy. He stood up and shouted directly at the emperor, exaggeratingly saying, "Your Majesty, God has given you auspiciousness."

"Ah hahaha!"

Li Shimin seemed to be able to laugh.

The Tubo merchants were confused and couldn't figure out what was wrong with the Han people.

At this moment, he suddenly saw Li Yun stretching out his big hand, and the dog-headed gold in his arms suddenly came to Li Yun's hand, and the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty roared angrily.

But Li Yun was not afraid at all. He jumped back to the platform with his dog-headed gold in his arms. He first shouted to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, elders, don't compete with the younger ones..."

Then he looked at the merchant and shouted, "I will pay 300,000 yuan to buy your natural dog-head gold."

The Tubo merchants were stunned.

Is this absurd change?

At first, it was only considered worth 3,000 guan, but it was determined to be 16,000 guan. Then, for some reason, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Zhao of the Western Palace suddenly fought for a piece of gold...

King Zhao actually gave a high price of 300,000 yuan.

Under the platform, Li Shimin was still roaring, while Li Yun was holding Huang Jin and laughing, as if he was extremely proud of it.

The emperor was furious, and Changsun Wuji seemed to be very angry. The Minister of Revenue from the Tang Dynasty suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Li Yun and angrily rebuked: "This thing is auspiciousness, and mortals should not be touched easily. Only the royal family can possess the treasures given by God."

Li Yun laughed again and counterattacked and asked, "Dare you ask the Minister of Revenue, is this king considered a royal person?"

Changsun Wuji seemed stunned, as if he was being held back by Li Yun's counterattack.

At this time, Li Yun looked at the Tubo merchants and smiled and said, "You are the owner of gold and have the right to choose to sell it to. I am willing to pay a high price of 300,000 yuan to buy your natural dog-headed gold."

Li Shimin snorted angrily and said, "I also paid 300,000."

As he spoke, he looked very arrogant and seemed to be coercing the Tubo merchants.

The Tubo merchants did not hesitate and shouted: "Sell it to King Zhao, I want to sell it to King Zhao."

Li Yun laughed with a very proud expression, while Li Shimin snorted angrily, his face obviously turned pale.

The emperor was about to get angry, but fortunately there was a woman next to him.

But seeing the woman hurriedly holding the arm of the Emperor of Tang, she kept admonishing: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, let's elders, don't argue with the younger generation, dog-headed gold is auspicious, the town and the house are prosperous, King Zhao is the only seedling, it's best for him to have gold..."

The Tubo merchants vaguely thought they understood it!

It turns out that his dog-headed gold is auspicious in the Central Plains, and the town at home represents many children and blessings.

"Thank God..."

The Tubo merchant suddenly stroked his chest with his hands and prayed devoutly: "Thank you for the guidance of the gods, I asked me to choose this piece of gold when I escape, otherwise I will never have a chance. Songtsen Gampo, please wait for me."

After he prayed devoutly, his whole body suddenly became full of vitality.

He looked up at Li Yun on the platform and said anxiously: "King Zhao, I have money now. I just called 200,000 yuan, but no one came out to compete. According to your rules, the 200,000 yuan is the transaction price. I want to buy a secret recipe, you must give me the secret recipe."

Li Yun laughed and said generously: "I have always been a fool in business. I not only give you a secret recipe, but also give you 100,000 guan. Congratulations, you suddenly become a rich man..."

The Tubo merchant rubbed his hands excitedly and couldn't help but say, "I don't care about getting rich. I will understand when you wait for you. I have my own pride and I never care about money."

"Do you actually treat money like dirt?"

Li Yun seemed very shocked, and suddenly burst into laughter and said, "I like such a person the most. My brother and I hit it off at first sight. Good brothers from Tubo, how about we join forces?"

As he said that, he jumped, walked up to him with gold in his arms, and said solemnly: "Just use this piece of gold, I will become brothers with you. I am the King of Zhao, the King of Xifu, and the invincible person in the world..."

The Tubo merchant rolled his eyes with a "ga".

This guy was excited to suck him over!
