Chapter 1687: nearly two thousand years of ginseng (2/2)
"However, 500-year-old ginseng is very rare and can be sold for thousands of taels of silver. It is estimated that the price of this nearly 2,000-year-old ginseng will not be too low, and there must be a lot of people competing for it. I don't want to hold too much. Hope, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
"You're right, the competition will definitely be fierce, but if there is no competition, today is an eye-opener, and it's not in vain."
"It's just that thousand-year-old ginseng is extremely rare. How could they have nearly two-thousand-year-old ginseng?"
"Is there any need to ask this? Every year, local officials present rare treasures to the imperial court. There are many talents in the imperial court. They were given to His Majesty the Emperor by others, or found by His Majesty."
"makes sense."
Shopkeeper Jia said loudly, "The lowest auction price for nearly two thousand years of ginseng is 4,000 taels of silver."
As soon as the voice fell, one person said: "Five thousand taels of silver."
When everyone saw it, most of the officials immediately understood that he was the minister who said in the court that his mother needed ginseng to treat her illness.
"Six thousand taels of silver."
"Seven thousand taels of silver."
"Eight thousand taels of silver."
…
"19,000 taels of silver."
"Twenty thousand taels of silver."
The minister thought that he had only brought 20,000 taels of silver in total, so he sighed helplessly, and had to give up the bidding, which was his life.
Murong Lingran saw that the minister was disappointed, and his face was obviously tired. Obviously, there was something at home that made him extremely worried, and it was estimated that the family really needed this ginseng.
