Chapter 896: Auction
Later, he continued to gain power in the army. He won several battles and plagiarized several warehouses of small counties. The former Emperor turned a blind eye to this and let other generals get a lot of benefits together. The rest was handed over to the treasury.
This kind of thing happened several times later, so his warehouse in Qiyun Mountain was not simply a decoration.
The five thousand elite soldiers in Qiyun Mountain were not raised by the imperial court, but by him. If he doesn’t have some financial resources, can he afford it?
Bai Zhi didn’t know this. She only knew that this medical book was different from other things. She had to buy it herself, and she should pay for it.
Bai Zhi didn’t say anything, she pulled Dongfang Mu upstairs.
The layout of the second floor was very similar to the offices she has seen in modern times. A large space was divided into a small section room with a carved board. Each section has a person sitting in front of the table.
At this time, there were many people on the second floor, all holding things and talking to the people in the small room. Some were calm and smiling, while some were angry and glaring at the person on the table.
In the final analysis, it was nothing but about the profit. The people with a good and high evaluation were naturally smiling, while the people with low evaluation naturally got angry and glaring at the person sitting at the table.
The servant brought Bai Zhi and Dongfang Mu to a small room in the corner. Each section room has a small door. After passing through the door, a small room became more like a small box. Only two people can fit in. If another person gets inside, people will get squeezed.
Dongfang Mu wanted to squeeze in. A man was sitting inside, how could he let this man be alone with his precious granddaughter?
Bai Zhi took out the medicine bottle, put it on the table, and said to the man: “Sir, this is the medicine I want to sell for the auction. Please take a look.”
The man looked like in his forties. He was very thin, with sunken eyes, and had a sick image. He lifted his half-closed eyelids, glanced at Bai Zhi, then took the medicine bottle expressionlessly. After removing the corked, a strong pill scent filled the section room immediately. The man with a wilted complexion suddenly became energetic and quickly poured the pill into his palm.
“In this, there are niuhuang, rhino horns, and musk. What kind of medicinal pill is this?” The man asked urgently.
Bai Zhi faintly smiled and said: “Sir, you are really an expert. You simply smelled the scent, but then you can tell what is made of. That’s right, there are niuhuang, rhino horn, and musk in it. This is called niuhuang pill, which is used to treat heatstroke and fell unconscious.”
The man nodded his head repeatedly: “Yes, not bad. Just smelling this scent, I can tell that it is definitely effective. I haven’t received such a high-quality pill for a long time. It will definitely sell to a good price, it will definitely make a good price!”
Bai Zhi asked: “Do you plan to take this medicine to the auction?”
The man said: “Of course it will be auctioned. Good things must be known to everyone. Unfortunately, you only came today. If you come earlier, more people will see this pill and it will have good momentum. And naturally, it can be sold to a higher price.”
“What about now?” Bai Zhi asked.
The man sighed: “The next auction will be held three days later. But I will try my best, so don’t worry, miss.”
Bai Zhi nodded: “My purpose is not to sell things, so naturally it doesn’t matter.”
The man said to Bai Zhi: “Young lady, I take the liberty to ask who is the alchemist who made this medicine?” There were not many alchemists in the capital, what more, who can make such a high-quality medicine.
Bai Zhi said with a smile: “No need to look for the alchemist, I did it myself, so there are still many shortcomings.”
