Chapter 1687: nearly two thousand years of ginseng
After seeing the servant walking towards him, he immediately followed.
He is not a cheeky person either. He has lost face twice in a row and almost got the reputation of not being able to lose. He has no face to stay here any longer.
He has to think about it, what can make up for his loss this time.
For example, if he finds a way to get the seeds of Suichenhua, he can sell them in batches in the future. Even if one pot sells five thousand taels, he can make a return after selling eight pots.
Thinking of this, his mood improved.
But what he didn\'t know was that Suichen flower was not so easy to plant successfully, otherwise it would not become a legendary flower.
If it wasn\'t for Murong Lingran\'s space, I\'m afraid everyone here would never have the chance to see Suichenhua in this lifetime.
Ji Guangbiao\'s idea is doomed to fail.
The auction was going on smoothly again. What followed were the treasures provided by the queen mother, several princes, and even the emperor. All of them were sold for more than 5,000 taels, and more than 100,000 taels were added to the army.
After a while, it was Murong Lingran\'s turn to offer the auction items again.
Liu Jiahuai lifted the red cloth that covered it, revealing a box inside, then stepped forward to open the box, took it to the front and showed it to the people in the front row, and said seriously, "This is a ginseng that is nearly two thousand years old. Presumably everyone knows the wonderful benefits of ginseng, so I will not introduce too much here.”
Boom!
As soon as his voice fell, the people present seemed to have exploded, chatting with others.
"Nearly 2,000 years of ginseng, the first time I\'ve heard of it in my life."
"That medicine is a great tonic."
"Yes, for the elderly and infirm, it is a life-saving medicine."
"However, 500-year-old ginseng is very rare and can be sold for thousands of taels of silver. It is estimated that the price of this nearly 2,000-year-old ginseng will not be too low, and there must be a lot of people competing for it. I don\'t want to hold too much. Hope, lest the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
"You\'re right, the competition will definitely be fierce, but if there is no competition, today is an eye-opener, and it\'s not in vain."
"It\'s just that thousand-year-old ginseng is extremely rare. How could they have nearly two-thousand-year-old ginseng?"
"Is there any need to ask this? Every year, local officials present rare treasures to the imperial court. There are many talents in the imperial court. They were given to His Majesty the Emperor by others, or found by His Majesty."
"makes sense."
Shopkeeper Jia said loudly, "The lowest auction price for nearly two thousand years of ginseng is 4,000 taels of silver."
As soon as the voice fell, one person said: "Five thousand taels of silver."
When everyone saw it, most of the officials immediately understood that he was the minister who said in the court that his mother needed ginseng to treat her illness.
"Six thousand taels of silver."
"Seven thousand taels of silver."
"Eight thousand taels of silver."
…
"19,000 taels of silver."
"Twenty thousand taels of silver."
The minister thought that he had only brought 20,000 taels of silver in total, so he sighed helplessly, and had to give up the bidding, which was his life.
Murong Lingran saw that the minister was disappointed, and his face was obviously tired. Obviously, there was something at home that made him extremely worried, and it was estimated that the family really needed this ginseng.
