When they returned to the warehouse, Xiao Yun ordered his men to light up the entire warehouse.

Looking at the pile of goods piled up like a small mountain, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but bloom with joy.

There were more than ten boxes filled with ink incense. They were dry, heavy, and each box weighed several hundred kilograms.

There were also other things that were several times, or even a few hundred times, more than what he had told His Majesty.

The person in charge was still trembling. He walked to Xiao Yun's side and whispered, "Xiao Sheng, is this considered cheating the king?"

Xiao Yun chuckled and said, "When you sell them, as long as you don't sell them all to one person. Also, the amount I told His Majesty... It's the real amount. Who asked you how much you have? According to that number, the quantity is also the same. Do you understand?"

"This..."

The leader said with a bitter face, "This little one doesn't really understand. Xiao Sheng, if you only say so much... Wouldn't that mean that it can only be sold for this much? If you sell too much, wouldn't that make people suspicious? With just a little calculation, we can calculate the quantity of our goods."

Xiao Yun said," On the surface, we naturally need to sell very, very little. Do you really think I want to put these things on the counter to sell? If you want to buy them, you have to do me a favor. They'll have to rely on their connections to find one person on the left, one person on the right, and one person on the right. Finally, they found the Gold Hidden Pavilion. Then, they could only do it in their own name. Selling a tiny bit of this kind of goods to them, of course. The price was much more expensive than outside, but it didn't matter. The key was that there was! As long as they could buy it, they would be happy. They wouldn't care about the price at all... Of course, they will all think that they are an extremely rare existence. However, they do not know that many of these goods are sold in this way. Do you understand now?"

The person in charge thought for a moment, but still said with some confusion, "However, with Saint Xiao's character, I'm afraid that the selling price will be the same. On the contrary, those people, through various layers of relationships, need to be arranged in different layers. Buying the same thing will probably cost even more money, and they spend a lot of money. But you still earn the same as before, and you still need to put in a lot of effort in between. Why is that?"

Xiao Yun chuckled and patted him on the shoulder. "This is enough for you to study for the rest of your life. You definitely don't understand the word hype. Take your time to read it. Look more, do more, ask more, and say less. "

"Oh..."

The person in charge naturally didn't understand. He opened his eyes wide and tried to comprehend as much as possible.

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Actually, the core of it is a sentence. Things are valued by rarity. If it is not rare, we can create some conditions."

"The rarer something is, the more expensive it is?"

The person in charge immediately nodded his head.

He could always understand these words.

Of course, understanding and true knowledge were still different.

The only advantage was that when something happened, he would not be surprised and panic.

Because he had clearly underestimated the popularity of these goods and the efficiency of those influential officials in Qin Country.

In just one day.

What a shocking intelligence ability.

They actually immediately found out about the few new things His Majesty used.

Then, each of them sent their capable stewards to the Gold Hidden Pavilion to buy them.

This seemed to have become their habit.

As long as there was something new, it would definitely be sold by the Gold Hidden Pavilion. There was no need to think too much about it.

Sure enough, the first few shops that arrived actually bought those luxurious new prices.

Each and every one of them enjoyed it at home, as if they were kings.

However, they didn't have many practical uses. Most of them had been saved up. When there were guests at home or when they went out to give gifts in the future, they would use these things.

In the capital, there would be an extremely grand festival every day.

This family would marry, and that family would hold a funeral. That family's youngest grandson would hold a banquet for important guests in a hundred days...

There would not be a day when the entire city was free, and nothing would happen at all.

And in these important gatherings or banquets, these new things naturally had to be taken out. They had to be used without leaving any trace, showing off in a very low-profile manner. Inadvertently, they would give him a layer of gold on his face.

And what he bought in the beginning was only a small portion.

The other nobles did not have such good luck.

Or perhaps it was already too late when they heard the news.

Or perhaps the process of rushing over was a bit slow.

In any case, they didn't buy it right away.

They naturally thought of a way, which was to find some "capable" people and get them to help buy it.

Then, these capable people found some 'capable' people, and they found the branch manager of the Gold Hidden Pavilion. Then, they secretly took out the items from the sealed warehouse. They sold the items to the other party at a high price.

One tael of silver was sold for two tael of silver. They would keep one tael of silver for themselves, and one tael of silver would enter the public account.

When the goods were in the hands of those who had connections, they would be sold for three taels. Then, the goods would be sold to those who had the ability to sell them for another tael. Finally, the goods would be sold to those who wanted to buy them.

Four taels, or five taels. After buying something that had once been sold for one tael, those influential people would not feel that they had suffered a great loss.

Instead, they felt that as long as there was such a thing, it would be fine!

Take Yang Shuo for example.

As the Southern Prefecture's Minister of Justice, he could be considered a person with absolute power, but he was a famous person in the capital who had poor relations with people.

No one wanted to interact with him. When they saw him, they immediately hid far away, afraid that they would have any interaction with him.

He originally didn't care about these things at all.

What was wrong with poor popularity? It wouldn't affect him becoming an official, and there wouldn't be so many unnecessary social gatherings. Wasn't this a pretty good thing?

But this time, he had become an important figure in investing in the Northern Expedition, and he had gained a lot of credit. Of course, there were also benefits.

Now, his Yang Family occupied a lot of places in the Outer Sanctum of the Northern Region. Although those places were nominally the imperial court, the local forces had already become the territory of the various large families.

Because of this, some of the people who hated him had no choice but to try to get close to him.

And those gatherings that were specially used for bootlicking...

Yang Shuo realized that he actually did not hate it!

It was very satisfying.

Very interesting!

Furthermore, he found out that his family had the possibility of soaring again. As for the matter of communication, he was naturally happy to see it happen.

Thus, on one hand, it was someone else trying to sell his strength, and on the other hand, he was starting to take the initiative to get close to them. There were many such gatherings.

On average, there would be one in two to three days.

Furthermore, if there were any major or minor matters in the other families, he would also come to visit.

In this way, his days could be said to be quite comfortable.1

Then, he realized that some strange things had suddenly become popular in the capital. Today, he was going to another large family clan as a guest. Since the old man was celebrating his 80th birthday, he should at least bring some gifts over.

In the current capital, giving gifts was too particular. It would be best if he could give something as fashionable as this.

When the ceremonial officer read out the gift list loudly, wouldn't he also gain some face?

Face was an addictive thing!

Once it is pasted, no one will want me to take the initiative to tear it off.
