My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

   "Chang\'an is a prosperous place under the feet of the emperor, and this monopoly is indeed not low."

   "Yes, I don\'t have to think about waiting for these businessmen with meager family resources, let\'s wait for other states and counties!"

   "Yes, yes!"

   "..."

  As soon as Tong Nian\'s words fell, the small merchants below started talking about it. They couldn\'t afford it, so they could only complain with their mouths.

   "510,000 guan!" A person began to bid.

Tong Nian had already been trained by Li Yin, and at this time he said in a dignified manner: "This merchant is offering 510,000 taels, is there anyone else asking for a price?" He picked up a small hammer and tapped it, "51 taels Ten thousand times..."

   "I offer 530,000 guan!" A fat businessman stood up and shouted.

   "Okay, fifty-three guan!"

   "..."

On the ground floor of the auction stage, Dou Yun\'er listened to the quotation and calculated the profit of the perfume. Chang\'an has a population of millions, and most of the rich and powerful live in it, accounting for at least 50,000 people. According to the amount of consumption, Chang\'an consumes at least 50,000 bottles of perfume a year. After all, the perfumes are used by female relatives, and the net profit of these 50,000 bottles can reach 250,000 bottles. It will take more than two years to pay back the capital, and then it will definitely make a lot of money.

   "Father, why don\'t you bid?" Dou Hairuo urged, and she quickly calculated the profit.

  Dou Yundao: "Wait a little longer, it\'s not necessary now, the merchants who are really competing with us haven\'t bid yet." He turned his head and looked to the right as he spoke.

As far as he could see, there were two people sitting, one was a kind-hearted, kind and refined middle-aged man, and the other was a handsome young man with a jade face. As if feeling Dou Yun\'s gaze, the middle-aged man turned his head and rushed Looking at Dou Yun, he nodded, while the young master looked at Dou Hairuo.

  Dou Hairuo also looked over and said, "Father is talking about the Qian family!"

   "That\'s right, the Qian family has always been ambitious to replace our Dou family. Now that we have such an opportunity, how can we give up."

  While the two were talking, the price had already been called to 650,000 guan. At this moment, a voice shouted: "700,000 guan." It was the middle-aged man from the Qian family who made the call.

  The asking price of the middle-aged man directly increased by 50,000 guan, which made many businessmen sigh.

   Tong Nian was happy, "700,000 guan, is there any further price increase? 700,000 guan once, 700,000 guan twice, 70..."

   "750,000 guan!" Dou Yun raised his hand.

   This Dou Yun was sitting directly below Tong Nian, and Tong Nian recognized at a glance that this was Dou Yun, the richest man in Chang\'an, and thought that this big tiger finally made a move.

  The middle-aged man with "Eight Hundred Thousand Crowns" raised his hand again, but his confidence was already lacking.

   "..."

The two competed with each other, while the other businessmen sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, especially the richest man in Yangzhou City, Cai Jiexiong, who was known as the richest person in Yangzhou City, but he still didn\'t dare to intervene in the business of Chang\'an Yes, after all, every place has its rules, and if the rules are broken, he will be out of the way. Qianglong still can\'t beat the local snake, especially in such a profitable business.

While shouting the price, Tong Nian also remembered Li Min\'s words, the common people are suffering because money is concentrated in the hands of aristocratic families and local wealthy businessmen, and the state\'s taxes cannot be collected from these people, so these powerful people are Getting richer and richer, the small money at the auction is still affordable for them.

   "One time for a million, two times for a million, three times for a million!" Tong Nian raised a small hammer to make a final decision, "Congratulations to shopkeeper Dou for obtaining the monopoly right of Chang\'an perfume."

  The Qian family still couldn\'t stand it when they shouted one million guan, and they couldn\'t do business that would only pay back in three or four years.

  After the Changan monopoly was auctioned off, Tong Nian continued, "The following is the Yangzhou monopoly."…

  Yizhou City, at the gate of the palace, Jin Daqian is instructing his servants to hang up a new plaque, while the previous plaque of the Shu Palace has been taken down.

   "A little bit more up!", "A little bit to the right."…

  Cui Yingying stood at the gate of the palace directing, and Jin Daqian repeated Cui Yingying\'s orders like a repeater.

   It\'s just that everyone can see that Cui Yingying is a little absent-minded. Although she let Tong Nian go, she is still worried about the auction monopoly.

  As she was thinking, a servant came on a fast horse, dismounted and said, "Report to the princess, the auction of the exclusive right has reached five million."

   "Five million guan!" Cui Yingying repeated, and ran back to the South Courtyard happily. She earned 5 million guan in just one hour. Could she not be excited?

   "Your Highness, it\'s already five million!" Cui Yingying shouted as soon as she entered the South Courtyard.

Li Yin has also been paying attention to the auction information. Hearing Cui Yingying\'s words, he felt relieved. He put down the compound bow in his hand, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "There are still 10 million bows before the estimated total." ,

Li Yin has also accurately calculated that the population of the Tang Dynasty is concentrated, and this monopoly can be sold for money in a few wealthy states. Other small states and counties are estimated to be difficult for a few thousand, so like Chang\'an, Luoyang, The monopoly rights in Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Guangzhou are the big ones, but Li Yin keeps the monopoly rights in Yizhou for himself, and there is no need to hand them over to outsiders.

The composite bow in Li Yin\'s hand is the first batch of composite bows produced in Taoyuan. Its shape is simple, because it is used by the army, and it mainly focuses on practicality. It does not have the fancy of modern composite bows, except for the pulleys at both ends and a few adjustable bow strings. It is basically the same as the bows and arrows of the Tang Dynasty, and there is a crossbow on the table, which is also made with modern technology.

"With these 15 million guan, the money spent by the palace will be much more abundant." Cui Yingying has been in charge of managing the expenditure and income of the palace for the past few months. It\'s getting slow, especially Li Yin\'s large-scale construction work, either to build this or that, the money is really used like flowing water.

  Li Yan looked at Cui Yingying\'s pained face, and said with a smile, "Are you afraid of running out of money? These small industries are just for fun. Have you seen any big industries?"

Although the luxury goods business can make huge profits for a while, the real money still depends on food, clothing, housing and transportation. In addition to planning to open up the luxury industry to search for the money of those elites, Li Yin is also planning to work **** clothing, food, housing and transportation. Although the profit is thin, the purchase volume is large after all.

Moreover, the entry of the Chamber of Commerce in the prosperous Tang Dynasty has brought some changes to the economic model of Yizhou. Some people work in workshops and earn much more money than farming. This has led many people to start renting out and buying and selling their own land. It is limited to the craftsmen under the workshop of Tang Chamber of Commerce, but this is also an invisible signal that a new economic model is about to grow and expand in Yizhou.

   Cui Yingying laughed and said, "Then Yingying is waiting for His Highness\'s new idea."

  The auction lasted for two real days before it ended. Tong Nian gave Cui Yingying the aggregated transaction amount, and Cui Yingying told Li Yin that the total was 17 million guan, which was 2 million guan more than expected.

   Tong Nian said with a smile: "Your Highness is still wise, this snipe and clam fight each other for the fisherman\'s benefit."

  Li Yan was very satisfied with the result, and agreed: "Yes, but this auction is over, and the goods must keep up with the supply, and we must not lose our reputation, otherwise no one will want to deal with us next time."

   "Don\'t worry, Your Highness." Tong Nian replied.

Li Yin made a lot of money, and the merchants who participated in the auction would be more or less happy and sad. Those who are happy are those who have gained something, and those who are sad are those who have nothing, but even so they feel that they are not in vain. Come here, at least you have seen this novel sales method, which can be used for future conversations after dinner.

At this auction, all the 3 million bills that Dou Yun brought were used up. At the same time, he also reaped all the sales rights of Chang\'an perfume, apricot flower wine, hard yellow paper, shampoo, and watches. It can be said to be a bumper harvest. He is preparing to receive the first batch of goods in front of the workshop of the Shengtang Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, Dou Hairuo was standing beside Dou Yun, with a smile on his face, waiting in line with Dou Yun to get the goods. Beside her was a woman covered in a white veil, and beside her was a woman in a white dress. The maid in the green shirt, and behind her stood two fierce-looking barbarian men.

  Dou Hairuo had never seen such a strange businessman before. He kept looking at the woman\'s face with his wonderful eyes, trying to see her appearance clearly.

  The woman also noticed Dou Hairuo\'s gaze. She glanced at Dou Hairuo who was dressed by the young master, a flash of disgust flashed in her eyes, she turned her head away, but Dou Hairuo didn\'t feel any abnormality at all, but still stared at the woman with great interest.

  The maid next to the woman had noticed Dou Hairuo\'s frivolous behavior a long time ago, and finally couldn\'t help but asked, "What are you looking at?" in a very stern voice.

Although Dou Hairuo did not come from a family of officials, she was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, so a servant girl yelled at her, frowned and said, "My...my lord, I just took a few glances, didn\'t you also look at me? Otherwise, how would you know I was looking at her?" Dou Hairuo pointed to the veiled woman.

   "Hmph, irrational words, are all of you Tang Dynasty scholars so frivolous and frivolous?" As soon as the maid said this, everyone immediately understood that this group of people might be Hu merchants.

   "Green clothes!" The masked woman reprimanded softly, her tone obviously displeased.

Dou Yun glanced at the two barbarian men, and pulled Dou Hairuo to tell her not to talk anymore. The most taboo of going out as a businessman is to cause trouble in a foreign land. This is the experience that Dou Yun has summed up over decades of businessmanship. He still remembers a year in Luoyang As a merchant, at that time he was young and energetic and had a few words with a merchant, but the merchant actually robbed all his goods with a gang of desperadoes. If he didn\'t run fast, he probably would have died.

   Seeing Dou Yun\'s unhappy expression, Dou Hairuo snorted and stopped talking, and the woman also seemed unwilling to cause trouble, and ignored her, but the maid occasionally cast a few vicious glances.
