Chapter 31 Auction
She emptied a medicine box, put the makeup mirror in it, and immediately showed it to Han Xing and others after taking it out.
This time everyone learned their lesson and no one asked where this treasure came from.
How on earth does the prince manage to produce good things every day?
Well, because Han Xing secretly told several team leaders about his guess, there were royal secret guards following him to secretly protect the prince, and the things the prince took out were all sent by the secret guards...
"The royal treasure, the only one in the world, a double-sided rotating luminous mirror. How much do you think it's worth?"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers who were huddled together and putting their heads in front of the mirror, vying to see their own faces, all took a few steps back.
It seemed as if Jinsui was holding not a makeup mirror, but a bomb.
Han Xing noticed her intention and was even more shocked than when he heard that she was going to bring a large group of people to have dinner at Haoqiang's house.
"Your Majesty, are you planning to sell this treasure?"
Jin Sui said as a matter of course: "Yes, this thing is of no use to me now, it is better to exchange it for gold and silver to buy food and grass."
The soldiers were so grateful that they almost cried. The prince did this all for them! He even wanted to sell his heirlooms.
They all begged not to sell it, saying that it would be fine even if they had to eat beans and rice along the way, but the prince's treasures must not be sold.
Jin Sui smiled with emotion, waved his hand and said, "I said it is a unique treasure in the world, but that's because I want to sell it at a high price. In fact, I have many such items."
Next, Jinsui had a verbal battle with the soldiers, but he was unable to convince them.
Especially Han Xing, who was almost broken by guilt.
He believed that it was his own incompetence that made the King of Li decide to sell the treasure.
Jin Sui was so angry that he decided not to talk to them properly. He said:
"Do you guys obey my orders? If you do, take this mirror to the city and sell it. If you don't, let's go!"
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers knelt on one knee, sweating profusely. This was because the King of Li was too kind and had no airs of a superior.
He ate from the same pot with them, applied medicine to the wounded personally, went to the river to wash horses with them, and took them to dig wild vegetables and pick wild fruits, so that they almost forgot about it.
This is the King of Li! His Royal Highness the former Crown Prince!
We can only listen to his words, how can we refute them? If it were a prince with a bad temper, they would have ordered military sticks to beat him long ago.
Han Xing was about to break the mirror again after reviewing it, so he hurriedly said that he would obey the prince's order and sell the mirror immediately.
That's right! Jin Sui's angry expression instantly turned into a smile, and he told him how to sell it.
Don't take it directly to the pawn shop, you won't get much money that way.
You have to go to the tallest and most luxurious restaurant in the city, beat the gong, and tell them that the King of Li wants to sell treasures through auction.
Jin Sui thought for a moment and said, "The starting price will be one thousand taels of silver."
Jinsui was not familiar with the prices of luxury goods in this era, and thought that the mirror would only cost a few dozen dollars if purchased online.
One thousand taels of silver is equivalent to hundreds of thousands of dollars in purchasing power in later generations. At this price, even a mirror from a god would be worth it.
She mainly wanted to test the purchasing power of the wealthy people in Yandi so that she could set the price when she sold such "treasures" later.
He told Han Xing alone: "If you can't sell it at the auction, find a pawn shop to pawn it."
She pointed at Hei Hu and said, "Take the gong and go with Captain Han."
Black Tiger asked in surprise: "Isn't the prince going?"
Han Xing also looked nervous. He was asked, a small captain at the border, to go to Dazhou City to sell the prince's treasures, or to auction them.
Not only had he never done such a job, he had never even thought about it.
Jin Sui pretended to be disappointed and said, "I won't go, to avoid being laughed at."
Han Xing felt even more distressed. How could such a good prince be bullied like this by those people in Chang'an? Hei Hu only grasped one key point: "If the prince doesn't go, then I won't go either. I want to protect the prince!"
Han Xing didn't want him to go either. He would just go there like a big black bear and talk nonsense. What would he do if he scared the guests? Jin Sui pointed at Hei Hu's good friend, the short soldier, and said, "Then let him beat the gong. He doesn't need to bring too many people. Ten people are enough."
The purpose of bringing the little guy along was to bring good luck, because his last name was Hao and his given name was Duojin.
If you bring too many people, they will be considered as extortionists or robbers.
Jinsui wanted Hanxing to take the bronze token as proof, but Hanxing hurriedly said that it was not necessary, as the entire Yan area knew that they were here to pick up King Li.
Moreover, once this treasure is taken out, everyone will believe that it is a royal treasure.
Han Xing led the team onto their horses, holding the "treasure" firmly in front of them.
Hao Duojin asked nervously: "Your Majesty, what if the people in the city break the treasure?"
Jin Sui smiled and said:
"That's perfect, blackmail... Ugh, just let him buy it. If he doesn't have the money to pay, we can just move into the city and never leave."
Han Xing broke out in cold sweat again. Ever since he found the prince, he has often broken out in cold sweat.
He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will protect the treasure and will never let anyone damage it."
When Han Xing was about to pull out his horse, Jin Sui thought of something else and said loudly:
"After you get the money, buy Black Tiger some new clothes first!"
Poor Black Tiger, because he was too big, there was no suitable clothing for him in Huaizhou City. Everyone else was wearing new clothes, but he was the only one who was still wearing old clothes.
She is nearly two meters tall, and she stares at other people's new clothes every day, like a wronged young wife.
Hei Hu was overjoyed and shouted, "I want red, Brother Han, buy me red."
After Han Xing and his party left, Jin Sui started chatting with other soldiers, some of whose names she didn't know yet.
I asked them with a smile why they joined the army, where their hometown was, whether they had started a family, etc.
Perhaps the soldiers had never seen a superior as amiable as King Li. Even the most timid young soldiers dared to step forward and say a few words to King Li.
Jinsui was mainly inquiring about the situation in Yanzhou. When he heard that Yanzhou was very prosperous, with many merchant caravans coming and going, and that during festivals, the city was decorated with lights and lanterns, and the sounds of singing and dancing could be heard even in the border town.
Jin Sui sensed something was wrong: "Border town? Aren't we going to Yancheng? Why is there another border town?"
Someone hurriedly explained: "It's not a city, it's actually the camp of the border guards, and everyone is used to calling it a border town."
"We, the Black Feather Camp, are not allowed to enter Yancheng."
After further questioning, Jin Sui realized that there was also "bullying" in the army, that is, a chain of contempt, and the imperial garrison looked down on the soldiers of Yanzhou Prefecture.
But the government soldiers were extremely wealthy, and had the best military supplies and equipment. There were sixteen government soldiers in the entire Yan area, and they also competed with each other.
But they would unite and be hostile to the imperial garrison. After listening for a long time, I didn't hear anything about the Black Feather Camp.
After being asked again, all the soldiers felt a little ashamed, and the tips of their ears turned red due to their thin skin.
Black Tiger was still straightforward: "They all look down on us border troops, saying that we are useless.
Even the soldiers who don’t fight in the battlefield look down on us because we don’t even have farmland.”
Jin Sui thought more deeply about King Li and felt that he was so pitiful.
Regardless of the truth behind his forcing the emperor to abdicate in Chang'an, although the emperor spared his life, he killed all his confidants.
Even Ling's father, a minor county magistrate of the seventh rank, was beheaded just because he had corresponded with him.
The King of Li was taken to the border without any guards around him and almost died in a bandit's lair.
The army given to King Li in Yan was the weakest in the entire Yan area. It could not even enter Yanzhou City and had almost no military supplies.
In a border area with complicated forces and frequent invasions by foreign races, this is clearly to let the King of Li die in Yan! How shameless! Saying that he spared the King of Li's life for the sake of the father-son relationship, he actually wanted him to die far away.
Seeing that the King Li remained silent for a long time, the soldiers looked at each other and were a little worried. Could it be that the King Li also looked down on them and didn't want them anymore? Jin Sui is now available. I beg for votes and subscriptions from my dear children.
