Zeng Yi estimated that the cost of the Persian warship would be recovered. Unexpectedly, after being fooled by the Silver Empire, not only the cost was returned, but also a small profit was made. And the person who captured this warship was also the guy from his old friend Yangming. Look
Upon seeing this, Zeng Yi knew that the ship must be his. Because of the specific situation of the ship, Zeng Yi told Hua Qianyuexia in bed, and Hua Qianyuexia must have given the order for Yangming to take over the warship.
The battleship is only a small head, and the highlight is the four silver pillars at the back.
However, these four silver pillars really have no other use. They are just used to show off. Although the major sects can afford to pay, they will not be taken advantage of. They are definitely worth a lot of money, but they will not appear like other good things.
, it is impossible to predict the final transaction price.
As the finale, when the four silver pillars were displayed, everyone was really shocked, "Holy crap, they are really silver pillars!"
"I thought the Silver Empire was bragging, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"Yeah, this must weigh several tons!"
Everyone talked a lot, and finally the auction began.
...
With Zeng Yi's reminder, Hua Qian Yue Xia took down the first silver pillar. As soon as she took down the silver pillar, Hua Qian Yue Xia loudly said in front of everyone: "This is the property of all the sisters of Tianxiang Guild. The president has decided
Stand right in front of the station gate!"
"This advertisement is done without any sense of violation!"
... All four pillars were sold, and a total of more than 400,000 taels of silver was earned. This was far beyond Zeng Yi's expectation, and had already exceeded the value of the silver pillars themselves. If only 400,000 taels of silver were earned,
If Zeng Yi owns it, then he will be rich. Unfortunately, it belongs to all the blood-clothed guards. As soon as the auction ended, these guys surrounded Zeng Yi. Looking at these guys, Zeng Yi looked hungry.
He said helplessly: "Are you saying you don't believe me so much?"
"Believe it, believe it! How can you not believe it, senior brother? It's just that the brothers are used to being poor, and suddenly they can't wait to have a higher income."
After looking at the crowd, Zeng Yi said: "Including the Persian warship, the total is less than 500,000 taels of silver. Putting aside the consolation money for the fallen brothers, as well as the maintenance and other expenses of the three warships, it is only
There are 400,000 taels of silver left. Let’s divide it equally among our two thousand brothers!”
...After the money was divided, everyone withdrew. Zeng Yi stayed at the trading island for half a day. Then he had other things to do. He was so busy that he had no time to see Hua Qian Yuexia, the girl.
Before leaving, Zeng Yi had to feed her.
Half a day later, Zeng Yi left the trading island and returned to the capital. After two days of absence, the pro-army captain's office had already investigated the situation of the prince's family. Although the prince's father had no real power in the south, he had a good reputation.
It is quite big, and its reputation is quite good, and it is deeply loved by the local people.
This would be a bit troublesome. If they were to quarrel and exterminate the clan, public opinion would be difficult to control. Before taking action, the pro-military captain's office must find a way to control public opinion.
Zeng Yi discussed it with Shantian and others.
"Seniors, what is the specific situation of this Marquis?"
Shantian replied: "It has been operating in the south for many years and has always been very friendly to the people, especially to ordinary people. It has no royal airs. Even when there is a local disaster, it will use its own money to help the local people. It is deeply praised by the people.
The support of local people.”
"In that case, we can't just quarrel with them and exterminate them!"
"Shaantian nodded. The current state of the imperial court is so chaotic. If we conduct a house raid in an open and honest manner, it is very likely that the imperial court will lose the support of the people. Especially if we do it, if we are used by someone with intentions, we will become a princess and suppress the opponent. At the critical moment,
Even if we give up this mission, we cannot discredit Her Highness the Princess!"
Everyone was silent for a while, and then Zeng Yi said: "If you want to successfully destroy Ya, it seems you have to find a way to improve your reputation."
"Reputation?" The four shakers looked at Zeng Yi almost at the same time.
"Yes, reputation. Since its reputation is good, then we should find ways to make its reputation worse. I think our pro-military captain's office should be familiar with this kind of work, right?"
Shaantian nodded. In addition to intelligence, an organization like the pro-military Duweifu also has a very important job, which is actually to control public opinion. When King Xing rebelled, it was the propaganda of the pro-military Duweifu in the northwest, so that the soldiers and civilians in the northwest,
Master supports King Xing.
"This junior thinks that we should first let the brothers spread rumors in the south. No matter whether they are true or false, the specific purpose is to suppress the reputation of the marquis. When the rumors spread, we will find a way. It is best to let the local people see it with their own eyes.
Come on, the Marquis is not as good as they are. As long as he comes for a few rounds, regardless of the local people, believe it or not, we are taking action, and I don’t think there will be too many twists and turns!"
The four people in Shaantian were silent for a moment, "This is also a way. Since this plan was proposed by the commander, then let the commander handle it! Mingri, follow me and protect my safety!" Mingri!
Ri nodded.
That night, Zeng Yi gave the order for the pro-military governor's office to start taking action. The pro-military governor's office acted very quickly. The next day, people in the southern part of the Central Plains began to spread the news about the old marquis.
It is said that the old marquis was a lecherous man with many wives and concubines at home. As long as he liked a woman, he would try every means to get it back to his house. The pro-jun captain's house also arranged several unfounded things, saying that that
The old marquis once fell in love with a girl, but the girl didn't agree. The old marquis actually used his influence to make things difficult for the girl's family. He was forced to have no choice but to commit suicide.
There are a lot of such rumors in the pro-military governor's house. In fact, these rumors are just rumors to a discerning eye, but ordinary people can't tell the truth from the false. One or two, due to the influence of the Marquis, the common people still sneered.
But if it spreads a lot, people will inevitably become suspicious.
The prince's father naturally heard the rumors about him among the people, and didn't pay much attention at first. However, the rumors spread more and more widely, and the marquis realized that something was wrong. It was obvious that someone was adding fuel to the flames.
The Marquis immediately started making connections, trying to find out who was going to deal with him and whether the imperial court was going to attack them. However, the actions of the pro-military Duwei Mansion were so secretive that he couldn't figure out the reason in a short time.
, and in the imperial court, there was no movement at the six gates, from the imperial guards to the masters, all were stationed at the border, and there was no abnormal movement in the east factory, so the Marquis ruled out the situation that the imperial court wanted to move him.
