The Uz Sword, which was finale today, is about to be auctioned, but Li Xiu frowned slightly at this time because he found a problem that occurred at the auction. In fact, he should have thought of this problem for a long time, but he ignored it, or he did not expect that the problem was so serious.

In fact, this question is not big or small. For example, when a product is started to bid, as long as the first one is the noble in front, the merchant behind will not dare to bid again, and as a result, only the group of nobles in front will be bidding. However, some nobles obviously have privileges, such as Changsun Wuji, as long as he bids, almost no one dares to follow him.

Similarly, if the first one bids the merchant behind, the nobles in front will become very quiet. It is not that they dare not bid, but they are disdainful. After all, they are either nobles or high-ranking officials, and they must not compete with a group of low-ranking merchants. Even if they like this auction item very much, they will never bid, otherwise it would not be embarrassing to say it out.

This discovery also made Li Xiu very helpless, and even cursed in his heart that "this damn class society". However, no matter how he scolded him, he had no way of doing it. After all, the general trend of the entire society is like this, and he can never change it alone.

"Class!" Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but repeatedly chewing on this noun that often appeared in later political classes. Although there were also differences between poor and rich people, officials and people in later generations, the boundaries between classes have been very weakened. Of course, in fact, classes must exist, but they are not so obvious on the surface.

In contrast, the class of feudal society like the Tang Dynasty was very clear. Confucianism divided people into four types according to their professions: "scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants". Among them, scholars belong to the ruling class and are at the top of the entire country. Although merchants have wealth, they are at the bottom of the class. The status of farmers and craftsmen is higher than that of them. This is probably the reason why there will be no bourgeois revolution in the Central Plains. After all, the status of merchants is too low. Even if they have a lot of wealth, they will not be able to get involved in the regime.

"The following is the final auction item at this auction, which is the extremely precious Wuzi sword. Although the price of this knife is not the most expensive, it is definitely the rarest..." At this moment, Wang Liang on the stage had already taken the Wuzi sword to the stage and then introduced loudly.

I don’t know if Wang Liang did it on purpose, but he actually introduced the knife and was stinky and long. The people below couldn’t wait, especially the generals such as Ma Ye, who wanted to rush to the top to block Wang Liang’s mouth, and then immediately started bidding. Fortunately, Wang Liang did not dare to go too far. After introducing the knife, he finally spoke again: “The base price of this Wuz sword is 1,000 guan, and each bid must not be less than 100 guan!”

As soon as Wang Liang finished speaking, Ma Ye was the first to stand up and offered a price: "One thousand five hundred coins!"

No one expected that Ma Ye would add 500 coins at once. Of course, this also showed his determination. The merchants behind naturally did not dare to offer a price. As for the people in front of him, although many of them were very coveted by this Wuzi sword, they scared a lot of people away when seeing Ma Ye. After all, in their opinion, they really couldn't offend Ma Ye because of a knife.

However, there are also people who are not afraid of offending Ma Ye, such as Changsun Wuji. He slowly increased the price and said, "One thousand six hundred coins!"

"One thousand eight hundred guan!" Ma said immediately without changing his expression. Changsun Wuji had expressed his interest in this treasure sword before, so he had expected this situation.

Changsun Wuji was not the one who gave up easily. He raised the price without hesitation again. In addition, Qin Qiong and several other generals also bid without showing any weakness. Speaking of which, the value of this Uzi treasure sword is indeed not the most expensive. For example, the coral that was first auctioned at the beginning was worth more than this knife. However, the Uzi treasure sword is too rare and has always been priceless. Moreover, for generals, this knife is the treasure they want most, so naturally they will not give up easily.

It is precisely because of this that the competition for this knife is very fierce, especially Ma Ye and Changsun Wuji are not people who are short of money. In the end, Qin Qiong and others have given up, and the only two of them are left to bid. In the end, Changsun Wuji can't stand it. Although he is not short of money, there is a family to raise. In contrast, Ma Ye hates his son and has a daughter and is married, so he doesn't care how much money he spends. In the end, he almost got the Wuzi sword at a large price higher than the market price.

As the last auction item was sold, the entire auction finally ended. It was getting late at this time. After all, there were so many sales items sold in the afternoon, and some sales were still very competitive, so it took a lot of time. At this time, it was already dusk outside, and everyone here felt hungry.

It is precisely because of this that many people immediately got up and left when they saw the auction ending, preparing to go to Zhengnan Building opposite to find a seat to eat. After all, this is the best time for Zhengnan Building to do business, and if they go late, they will not be able to find a seat.

However, at this time, Wang Liang on the stage spoke again: "Everyone, this afternoon has delayed everyone's afternoon, and I guess everyone is hungry, so we prepared some wine and food in the side hall, all of which are customized from Zhengnan Building opposite, so everyone can enjoy it at will!"

When the auction house actually prepared dinner and booked it from Zhengnan Building, the people below were very surprised. Changsun Wuji, who was sitting next to Li Xiu, couldn't help but say to him: "Mr. Prince Concubine, your auction house is really generous. The cost of this treat is probably not small, right?"

"Haha~, everyone spent so much money to buy our auction items before, and now we should spend some money to treat everyone to something!" Li Xiu laughed at this time. Of course, he didn't say that the wool came from the sheep. Anyway, it was also spent on these people to buy things. He calculated just now that the auction made the bank several times the money. If it was held for a long time, it might become one of the financial support points of the financial management supervisor.

At that moment, Li Xiu invited everyone to the side hall for dinner. Now it was just at the meal time, so I might not find a seat when going to Zhengnan Building, so everyone, including Changsun Wuji, went to the side hall for dinner. Li Xiu found Wang Liang and other officials of the auction houses, and discussed the gains and losses of today's auction while eating. At the same time, he also told the problems he found. After all, the isolation between the nobles and the merchants was too obvious, and this would also affect the effect of the auction.

Just as Li Xiu finished speaking, Wang Liang suddenly said hesitantly: "Mr. Concubine, I think your concerns are indeed very reasonable, but the villain also has some thoughts on this!"
