Chapter 251

Because the number of mirrors in the auction is less and less, the atmosphere is getting hotter.

The sound of bidding keeps on rising. Five hundred mirrors are auctioned off one by one. The merchants who buy the mirrors will get a small wooden card, and then they will pay money in the chamber of commerce with the wooden card to take away the mirrors.

"Sixteen thousand taels."

"16500 Liang."

“……”

The auction lasted from the morning to the afternoon, and there was only one mirror left at the end of the 500 mirrors. At this time, the voice of bidding became louder and louder.

"Seventeen thousand taels."

"Eighteen thousand taels."

"Twenty thousand taels!"

The last sound was fixed, and the auction site was silent. All the mirrors in the auction were sold out.

Li Kaiyuan couldn't see his teeth with a smile. Five hundred mirrors brought at least 6.7 million taels of income to the chamber of Commerce this time. He was also clear about the cost of the mirrors. Among all the commodities in Qingzhou, mirrors really made a huge profit.

At the end of the auction, people on the scene left one after another, either complacent or sighing.

Five hundred people who auctioned the mirrors left behind. At this time, they took the wooden plate and asked Li Kaiyuan to get the mirror.

Because the mirror is only 10000 or 20000 silver, most of these merchants buy it directly with silver notes, silver or gold, but few merchants offset it with goods.

After all, it's not a big deal.

When it came time to collect money, the staff of the chamber of commerce immediately got busy, counting the silver, carrying the silver, and handing the mirror to the auctioneer.

It was not until the evening that the auction really ended.

Pang Yukun and Xiao Mingcai appeared and looked at the gold, silver, silver and other things. They laughed contentedly.

The Treasury's silver is abundant again this time.

"Your Highness, the amount of this transaction is clear. Here is the account book. Have a look at it." Li Kaiyuan said to Xiao Ming holding an account book.

Xiao Ming opened it and saw that there were 500 records of each auction. At the back of the account book was written a total of 7.2 million taels.

"7.2 million taels."

Pang Yukun's beard was shaking and his face was smiling. These 7.2 million taels were enough for Xiao Ming to carry out several major projects.

Xiao Ming nodded his head with satisfaction and said, "send the silver into the Treasury and spend it in a unified way."

"Yes, your highness." Li San answered, and immediately asked the soldiers outside to escort Yin Liang to the storehouse of Qingzhou government. This is where Qingzhou government storehouse is.

All the taxes of Dayu state are here. Apart from leaving a part of the turnover of the money earned by the chamber of Commerce, it also basically comes here and is paid by the government according to the situation of each state.

After the auction, Xiao Ming was relaxed. 7.2 million taels was enough for him to build another 20 or 30 galleons.

However, it is obvious that he can not give all the money to the army. A large part of the money must be put into the people's livelihood of the six states to make money.

Moreover, as his stall gets bigger and bigger, there are more and more places to spend money.

For example, in the College of Bowen, all food and accommodation are free for those who are admitted to the college. This is also to enable the poor students to devote themselves to their studies and not worry about their worries.

After all, Bowen college is the core talent export place that will drive the development of Qingzhou in the future.

After leaving the chamber of Commerce, Xiao Ming didn't go through the main door of the Palace this time, but went in through the side door.

Because he knew that at this time, there must be many people outside the door who wanted to discuss with him about the mirror.

but he made up his mind that the mirror would not sell the right to sell like perfume and soap, but he made a lot of money at that time, but it was a loss for him in such a monopolistic business.

It took more than ten days for the noisy business of mirrors to fade away in Qingzhou. At this time, the chamber of Commerce began to officially sell mirrors.

Businessmen staying in Qingzhou immediately flocked to the chamber of Commerce, but many were blocked out.

"Chamber of Commerce members first." Li Kaiyuan explained to a group of businessmen.

The membership system of the chamber of Commerce has been in operation. Now the number of members in the chamber of Commerce has reached thousands. These people will get preferential treatment in terms of speed and price when they take goods in Qingzhou.

Moreover, some members of the chamber of Commerce have considered settling down in Qingzhou. After all, they buy their members with a huge sum of silver. Only when they settle down in Qingzhou can they get the information of the chamber of commerce all the time.

For example, they visited the mirror before the exhibition.

A lot of convenience, let them gradually identify with the membership.

Li Kaiyuan said that, some members of the chamber of Commerce showed a proud smile. Among the people, they seemed to be a little higher.

Some businessmen who did not join the chamber of Commerce began to hesitate to join the membership.

Li Kaiyuan looks at the businessmen and laughs in his heart. It's all in Xiao Ming's plan. The business center of Dayu is gradually moving to Qingzhou.

King Qi's mansion and Xiao Ming no longer care about the 7 million taels of silver. In his eyes, these goods really belong to pure low-end products. The only thing is that the mirror has some technical content.But that's far from what he's after.

Qingzhou's industry is just in its infancy, and there will be more high-tech products coming out one after another.

These commodities are produced by talents trained in Bowen college.

His current task is to carry out several major projects, one of which is the reinforced concrete wall of Cangzhou.

During this period of time, zhanxingchang has been preparing building materials in Cangzhou, and the steel workshop has also been producing steel bars. Now the conditions are all ready, and only construction is needed.

Wang Xuan brought the news that the barbarians studied artillery. To be honest, it really worried Xiao Ming.

Before Shanhai Pass was broken, Cangzhou was just a small city. It was not until the barbarians came in that Niu Zhen and others rushed to build the wall. In fact, the wall was not very strong.

Later, zhanxingchang was strengthened only to increase the firing position of artillery, but the wall was still not strengthened much.

If the barbarians really come here with guns, the wall is really dangerous, at least the gate is easy to be penetrated by shells.

Therefore, after the silver was sufficient, he not only sent tens of thousands of slaves, but also allocated silver to hire the local people of Cangzhou to participate in the construction of the city wall.

This is also to compete with the barbarians for time, because with the national strength of the barbarians, if we really find craftsmen who know how to use guns, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before we can produce guns.

Based on this situation, Xiao Ming is going to Cangzhou to arrange the construction of the new city wall in person. After all, zhanxingchang is far away from him in building.

Outside the palace, aster has prepared a carriage for Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming went to the door and said, "the textile workshop should not slack off. When the king comes back, he should see the sails."

Aster nodded and said, "Your Highness, you should be careful when you go to Cangzhou."

After that, he looked at Niu Zhen, Lu Fei, Luo Xin and 2000 cavalry. After capturing many barbarian horses last time, Qingzhou cavalry expanded a lot again.

But aster is not thinking about this, but she thinks that Xiao Ming's visit to Cangzhou is not just about the city wall.
