Zhao Kang's voice became deeper, and his sharp eyes swept away. This posturing really frightened many people. They all looked at the stage with wide eyes, ready to hear what kind of talent he said.
of nobility.
"A plate of green vegetables only costs two cents in an ordinary restaurant. It is eaten by ordinary people, but it costs a lot of money at Baiwei Restaurant in the imperial capital! It is eaten by merchants, but it costs three taels of silver in the best restaurant in the imperial capital. Why is it the same?
The price of a plate of green vegetables is thousands of times higher! Have you ever thought about it?"
Many people were silent. Looking at the frowns on some people's faces, it seemed that they were really beginning to consider this matter that they had never thought of before.
Xiao Feiyu smiled slightly and knew it was time for him to take action. He pretended to be thoughtful and said: "The location is different, so the materials used are also different, so the prices are naturally different."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Kang shouted: "Wrong! Big mistake!"
Many people were confused. Rice merchant Wang Conglin said puzzledly: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning is right. How can the vegetables used in ordinary restaurants be compared with the flavor restaurants?"
These words were obviously meant to flatter Xiao Feiyu.
Zhao Kang said with a smile: "How good can a green vegetable be? Even if he is a palace chef, no matter how superb his cooking skills are, he can still turn fried vegetables into roasted whole lamb?"
Some people smiled lightly and nodded. Yes, vegetables are vegetables after all, so how can they be compared with hard vegetables like roasted whole lamb?
Mei Ruolan on the side also pretended to be puzzled: "Mr. Zhao, why is there such a big difference?"
Zhao Kang gave the answer: "Because of people!"
"Ordinary people only need two cents for a plate of green vegetables, but if we eat it for you here, it will cost the same amount or even three taels of silver!"
"Why! Because we determine the value of things! This plate of vegetables can only be bought at such a high price because we eat it!"
"Its destiny has changed because of us and because of you! This is the nobility, all of you here!"
"We ate that plate of vegetables!"
Zhao Kang spat with impassioned words: "No! That is an existence that ordinary people cannot understand. It is the loneliness of being in the cold at a high place! Even if it is just a glass of water and a piece of cake!"
"But as long as it passes through our hands, its value will make a qualitative leap! Because we are nobles, we give it value!"
"This world will also be changed by us! It will be changed by me, you, everyone here, and us! This is why you gather here! Why you gather in this noble hall!"
"As long as we sit here, we are the same. We are nobles who can change the value of material itself, and even change the entire world! Listen to the applause!"
Zhao Kang raised the auction hammer and hit it hard!
A burst of warm applause sounded like thunder, as if it was about to lift the entire roof.
At the end, everyone even stood up. Zhao Kang's words touched the hearts of these people. The dignitaries felt that they were superior to others. When it came to governing the country and bringing peace to the world, they felt that they should be the ones to do it, and no one else could!
The group of wealthy businessmen have a strong sense of identity. For a long time, their status as businessmen has been too low. Even the farmers who cultivate the land are nobler than them in the eyes of the scholar-bureaucrats.
No matter how rich they are, they are still not recognized by the upper class. When others see them, they will only say that they are full of stinkers, treacherous, and unbusinesslike!
But now Zhao Kang's words gave them a great sense of identity, because they were also here in the noble hall at this moment, and Zhao Kang classified them as among the nobles who could change the world.
He is in the same position as the surrounding civil and military officials and royal generals of various countries, just like them.
Therefore, the majority of the businessmen clapped and were so excited that they clapped their palms until they were red and painful and refused to put them down!
Seeing this effect, Zhao Kang was very satisfied, and he didn't want to waste half a day's saliva here!
I won’t give up until I cut all your leeks today!
Mei Ruolan stood next to him, applauding desperately. Although it was a script, she was still infected unknowingly just now, with little stars in her eyes, looking at Zhao Kang with admiration.
Her status can be said to be at the lowest level among them, not even as good as the maid who delivers tea. She is a housewife, and to put it nicely, she only sells her art but not her body.
The most unpleasant thing to say is that you have to build an archway after being a pawn.
Just now, she really thought that she was the noble in Zhao Kang's words. With that kind of strong excitement and excitement, even if Zhao Kang now said, "Come with me to change the world."
Mei Ruolan would nod in agreement without hesitation!
The applause lasted for a long time and did not stop. Zhao Kang snapped his fingers and slowly raised his hands. Everyone looked at him and wanted to find that strong feeling from him again.
Then Zhao Kang said loudly: "Now, I, Zhao Kang, the chief auctioneer of the Noble Hall, on behalf of His Royal Highness Prince Ning and all the members of the Noble Hall, welcome all the nobles!"
"Here you will enjoy the true treatment of nobility. Our Noble Hall has one purpose. Everything is tailor-made for nobility!"
Xiao Xuance, who was in the audience, was filled with enthusiasm and shouted: "Stop talking nonsense and bring me the things! I want to buy them all! Who dares to steal them from me!"
The aura of being alone and dominating the world made Zhao Kang think that this kid was actually his sitter.
But he was really helped by this guy. With a soft hum, Li Muqing said lightly: "Your Highness, don't speak too early. Your Highness is not inferior to you in terms of status and dignity! Bring up all the good things on the stage!"
As the Third Highness of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most powerful among the Four Kingdoms, Li Muqing was obviously from a true aristocratic background. With so many people looking at him, how could he let his limelight be overshadowed.
Someone smiled slightly: "Speaking of the fact that I have a lot of treasures, I really want to see what the treasures of the Noble Hall contain."
It’s Liu Hanlong, King of Han of Qi State!
Thanks to Xiao Xuance, before the auction even started, someone was already secretly competing against each other.
Zhao Kang felt happy because he wanted this effect.
He immediately clapped his hands, and after receiving the instructions, Liu Xiangyin and Qin Yufeng from the backstage quickly directed the maids to carry small wooden boxes one by one to the front of the stage, a total of twenty people.
Everyone stopped sitting now and stretched their necks to see what kind of treasure was contained in the exquisite wooden box.
Zhao Kang took the box from the maid and opened it. Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone in the audience, he said: "This object is called fragrant skin jade. It has the magical effect of cleaning the body. It can make the body smell fragrant. Next, I want to invite
Five ladies and ladies come on stage to test the effect. Is anyone willing?"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Yuan, who was sitting next to Xiao Linglong, raised his hands: "I'll do it, I'll do it!"
