"The bottom price is 250 jin, and each price increase is at least ten jin. Now those who are interested can start raising their signs."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people immediately raised their signs.

After all, they are the first group of slaves to the auction, and everyone is more interested in the form of auction and thinks it is quite interesting. Anyway, it is quite fun to pick up the brand.

It was so thrilling that at the auction hall that could accommodate more than 3,000 people, almost half of the people raised signs.

The shopkeeper was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"There are too many people holding the sign, so I might as well just add ten coins. Will there be someone who raises the price for 260 coins?"

The words fell.

Suddenly, someone shouted in the VIP seat next to the hosting station, "Three Hundred Points!"

This game attracted the attention of many people. After all, the rule is to add ten coins at one time, but this person directly added forty.

Of course, it is also allowed to directly offer a high price. The manual has already explained it, but this behavior still attracts attention.

"It seems to be the son of Zheng, Xingyang."

"It's that guy again, and that day he was the first to take action to grab the street in front of the dock."

"Gou Zheng!" someone hummed in dissatisfaction.

"Is it a lot of money for three hundred guan? I shouted so loudly, Lai Fu, raise a sign for me, and shouted five hundred guan." The one who spoke was a young man from another VIP seat not far away.

There is a small sign in front of this person's seat, which says the words "Lanling Xiao".

Although the Lanling Xiao family is not as famous as the Zheng family in Xingyang, the Lanling Xiao family was also a Chinese clan in Jiangnan and also a top gentry. However, since the Sui Dynasty unified the world, the Jiangnan gentry was no longer as good as before.

But the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the current Xiao family in Lanling is still good. After all, Xiao Yu of Lanling Xiao family was also the prime minister of the two dynasties during the Wude and Zhenguan dynasties. I remember that when Yang Guang was in the Sui Dynasty, the Empress Xiao, who was favored by Yang Guang, was also from their Xiao family.

Now in this famous city in Yangzhou, many industries are in the hands of the Xiao family in Lanling.

Five hundred stags of money are really a drop in the bucket.

"Does the Xiao family of Lanling have any grudges with the Zheng family of Xingyang?" Li Xiao sat on the side and looked at the scene, asking Zhao Chiman next to him thoughtfully.

"Have you never heard of it?"

The Xiao family of Lanling was known as the family of the emperors of the two dynasties. The Southern Liang and Southern Qi of the Southern Dynasties were both established by the Xiao family of Lanling. In today's Tang Dynasty, there are six surnames known as the most expensive family, namely the Zheng family of Xingyang, Pei family of Hedong, Wei family of Jingzhao, Li family of Zhaojun, Xiao family of Lanling and Cui family of Boling.

Among these six major families, Bocui, Zhao, Li, Xing and Zheng are ranked in the five surnames and seven clans, Jingzhao, Wei family, and Hedong Pei family are also the four surnames in Guanzhong. Their status is unquestionable. Only the Xiao family of Lanling is the southern dynasty with a slightly inferior status in the minds of northern geniuses.

It can be said that the Zheng family in Xingyang is the representative of the five surnames and seven families in Guandong, while the Weihedong Pei in Jingzhao is the representative of the famous families in Guanzhong, and the only one in Lanling Xiao is the representative of the Jiangnan clan.

Lanling Xiao and Xingyang Zheng did not deal with each other, and there seemed to be no reason.

Zhao Chiman smiled and said to Li Xiao, "Actually, the Xiao family of Lanling has long been integrated into the Guanlong noble group, and the Guanlong nobles have always looked down on Shandong geniuses and the five surnames the most."

In the past, the Xiao family of Lanling originally lived in Lanling County, Henan Road during the Jin Dynasty. Later, with her clothes and traveled south, she moved to Jiangnan with the Sima family, and since then became a gentry of overseas Chinese surnames in Jiangdong. Later, the Southern Liang, Southern Qi and the Western Liang Dynasty were established successively.

But after the Sui Dynasty unified the world, Xiliang surrendered to Sui Dynasty, and Xiliang Emperor Xiao Kuinu married Emperor Wen of Sui, Yang Guang, King of Jin, as his concubine.

Later, Yang Guang ascended the throne and conferred the Xiao family as the queen. So the Xiao family of Lanling became a relative of the foreigners. Xiao Kun's brothers were among the court. The Xiao family of Lanling not only became a relative of the foreigners, but also married everywhere. For example, actively married the Guanlong Group, the Houmo Chen family and the Zhenger family, the Hu tribe's nobles were all in-laws; Xiao Yu, the prime minister of the early Tang Dynasty, also married Dugu family, and Li Yuan called him "Xiao Lang".

The royal family Yang family, Hou Mo Chen family, and Dugu family are all core families of the Guanlong group. After entering the Sui Dynasty, the Xiao family of Lanling has been gradually integrated into the Guanlong group. Its status in the Tang Dynasty is also related to this.

Empress Xiao's younger brother Xiao Yu surrendered to Li Yuan during the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He served as prime minister in both Wude and Zhenguan dynasties, and his son also became the princess of Emperor Taizong.

The current emperor Li Zhize married the daughter of Xiao again. Concubine Xiao, one of the four concubines in the court, is the daughter of Xiao in Lanling.

It is precisely because of this kind of active integration into the Guanlong Group and the extensive marriage that the Xiao family of Lanling has been able to become one of the six strongest clans today with the former Jiangnan overseas surname.

In fact, Zheng in Xingyang actually had a similar path to Xiao in Lanling. For example, Zheng in Xingyang betrothed his daughter to Jian, the eldest son of the governor of Xingyang, Li Yuan, became his wife. Later, Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor and became the crown prince. Zheng Guanyin, a daughter of Zheng in Xingyang, became the crown prince.

After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin became the master of the Tang Empire, and the Zheng family in Xingyang soon sent another daughter to the palace to be a concubine for Taizong. Even in the harem of the current emperor Li Zhi, there was actually a Zheng concubine.

"One thousand stakes!"

The young man from Zheng's family in Xingyang turned his head and looked at it. After seeing that the VIP seat from Xiao family in Lanling, he sneered and doubled.

Ten slaves, who shouted for one thousand, was already a fight.

After all, no matter how valuable a slave is, it cannot be worth one thousand. The market price is at most about three hundred guan. One thousand guan, that is more than three times more.

"Are there any good show to watch today?" Li Xiao smiled and picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if he was about to watch the good show.

"One thousand guan is nothing to them, and ten slaves are nothing to them, but their own face is the most important."

After the Zheng family's price of 1,000 yuan was shouted out, the seat of the Lanling Xiao family was silent for a while.

"Hahaha, can't you afford to play?" Zheng Shizi seemed to be talking to his entourage, but the sound seemed a bit too loud, so big that almost everyone heard it.

"Three thousand guan, I, the Xiao family in Lanling, will accompany you to the end!" The young master Xiao seemed a little annoyed, and then shouted a high price of three thousand guan. This was already the price of one hundred slaves, which increased ten times.

"Silly, so stupid. The Xiao family in Lanling dares to release such a person? Is there no one in the family?" The young fat young man from the Zheng family in Xingyang laughed and stopped raising the bid.

It was obvious that this person cheated Mr. Xiao.

Mr. Xiao also knew that his face looked ugly, but he mocked the seat of the Xing family without leaving the gear.

"It's just three thousand guan, not enough to buy a boat. Yesterday, I just ordered ten new dragon-style boats and spent 50,000 guan. If the Zheng family doesn't have any money, go home as soon as possible and don't come out and embarrass you."

The fat brother of Zheng's family in Xingyang fought with the white-faced young man from the Lanling Xiao family, and ignited the auction, and the subsequent auction became even more popular.
