Chapter 312 Auction

"It's a steam engine."

Someone who knew a little more couldn't help but correct him:
"It seems that they are relying on the hot steam from boiling water to support the car."

"Why don't you listen to what you're saying?"

The commoner who firmly believed that Yun Shu was a deity rolled his eyes to the sky:

“Have you never boiled water or seen a carriage?

Can the heat from your house support a carriage?"

"..."

That's indeed not possible.

I really don’t know how Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess did it. It’s so magical!
The people were very curious, but they didn't think they could see it with their own eyes.

After all, it was a gift to His Majesty.

But the presidents of local chambers of commerce are different.

After reading the preview article about this "magic car" in Tiansheng Weekly last month, they all put in their best efforts. When they looked at the commercial taxes collected, they felt that they were terribly high!
With the idea that maybe the chamber of commerce that paid the most commercial tax this time was my own chamber of commerce,
At the end of the month, almost all of them came to Beijing in person with their account books.

Later, perhaps the Ministry of Revenue received instructions from Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and checked all the account books, but they did not announce which chamber of commerce paid the most taxes this year.

They thought that the Emperor's Birthday was only a few days away, so they decided to stay in the capital for a few more days.

Until today, I learned that the reward that Her Royal Highness wanted to give to the first place winner was actually the method of making the "magic car".
They were completely unsettled—

What Her Royal Highness said in that article was indeed not false at all.

Once you get this method, it will be hard not to get rich overnight!

For a moment, all the presidents of the chambers of commerce could not help but send people to inquire about the news.

"How is it? Did you find out? Which chamber of commerce won first place?"

"Reply...Reply, Master!"

The servant who had run all the way back from outside supported himself on his knees with his hands, panting heavily for a while before he raised his head and reported:

“Although I didn’t find out which chamber of commerce won first place, I bought the latest edition of the Beijing Daily!”

"...Master, I need your copy of the Capital Daily?"

The president of the Pengzhou Chamber of Commerce was so angry that he wanted to curse:
"Look at how out of breath you are. I thought you brought back some important news!"

"No, no, this is also very important!"

The servant quickly handed over the Beijing Daily and explained:
"I was passing by a teahouse when I heard someone say that it seemed that Her Royal Highness had published an article in the Capital Daily, saying that she was going to sell a 'magic car' or something."

"Selling a god car?!"

Isn't it said that this car-making method will be rewarded to the chamber of commerce that pays the most taxes?

Why are you selling it again?

The president of the Pengzhou Chamber of Commerce quickly took the Beijing Daily and quickly turned to the article the servant mentioned.

[Traveling a thousand miles a day is not a dream!]

"God Car" auction, realize your dream! 】

[…Do you want to be the second or third person in the world to own a “magic car”?

At 1:00 pm on the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, on the third floor of Tianwaitian Restaurant, the "God Car" will be auctioned off in advance. Only two units will be available.

At that time, professionals will explain to you the magic of the "magic car".

At the same time, Her Royal Highness will also be present to announce the Chamber of Commerce that paid the most commercial taxes this year and the list of the top three individuals who paid the most commercial taxes! 】 "Pre-sale auction, limited to two units?"

The president of the Pengzhou Chamber of Commerce murmured:
"I see. Now that there are so many powerful businessmen in the capital, these two 'magic cars' will definitely be sold at sky-high prices.

Your Highness, through this auction, you can let everyone know about the "God Car" and understand its value more clearly.
Afterwards, the chamber of commerce that paid the most commercial taxes this year will be announced, and the method of manufacturing cars will be handed over to the other party.

Those who failed to grab the "magic car" at the auction will immediately find the first-place chamber of commerce to discuss the purchase of the car.
After the first batch of orders were received, the Chamber of Commerce that obtained the method of manufacturing cars knew more clearly how great an opportunity they had obtained.

The chambers of commerce that did not receive the tax will be encouraged and will work harder to pay more commercial taxes next year..."

Everything is linked together, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is really good at calculating!

But even though they knew it was a plot, they still jumped in willingly.

This is really...

The president of the Pengzhou Chamber of Commerce shook his head helplessly, put down the daily newspaper in his hand, turned around and said seriously:
"Go and ask Mr. Ma to calculate how much silver we can come up with at most!"

"You want to buy a 'magic car'?"

The servant had been following the president of the Pengzhou Chamber of Commerce for many years. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but ask one more question:
"But didn't you just say that these two 'magic cars' would definitely be sold at a sky-high price?

You know the price is sky-high, but you still want to join in the fun?"

"You, you look at things too simply!"

The president of the Pengzhou Chamber of Commerce snorted and laughed:
"Do you think Her Royal Highness came here in person just to announce which chamber of commerce paid the most commercial taxes this year?

It's such a simple thing, can't you just tell someone about it? "

"But isn't that what's written in the Beijing Daily?"

The servant was a little confused:

"Besides that, what else does Your Highness want to do?"

"I don't know about this either."

The president of the Pengzhou Chamber of Commerce said thoughtfully:
“I do want to buy that car, but I won’t really spend all my money on it.

I asked Mr. Ma to calculate the money we have available now, in preparation for other actions that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess might take at that time.

Of course, this could be me overthinking.

But no matter what, it’s always better to be prepared.”

"Oh... you are really smart, Master!"

Although the servant didn't quite understand what he heard, he still praised him!
After flattering his master cheerfully, the servant quickly turned around and went to find Mr. Ma to complete his master's instructions.

……

None of those who can become the president of the local chamber of commerce is a simple character.

Similar instructions were being given in many other places at the same time.

A few days later, it was the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

Ever since he heard that Yun Shu was going to hold an auction, Yun Chuhuan had been clamoring to go out of the palace with her to watch the fun.
Emperor Xuanwu was so fed up with his nagging that he simply gave him leave early and left him to Yunshu.

Originally, I just wanted to take a day off to go out with my fifth sister to join in the fun, but I didn't expect to get eleven days of the Spring Festival. Even Yun Chuhuan, who was on vacation, was almost crazy with joy.
He even got a large amount of available funds from Liu Xiang——

"Fifth sister, can I discuss something with you?"

"Why are you so shifty?"

After all, Yun Shu had been with Yun Chuhuan for such a long time, so he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with him:

"What bad thing are you planning to do with me?"
