C28 (2/2)

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.
