dred years since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, only two of you have emerged as such extremes!”Xu Changqing and Guan Zhiwei looked embarrassed, both a little frightened."Your Highness, the humble mi...Chapter 1270: The Main Act Begins

Businessmen pursue profit, but when profit reaches a certain level, they will inevitably shift from pursuing profit to seeking fame.

What businessmen lack most is fame.

A person's instincts and nature determine what they most lack, and therefore what they most desire.

Both the imperial court and society as a whole held merchants in extreme contempt.

Facing such disdain, the business community is powerless to resist, but that doesn't mean they are willing to accept it.

So they turned their attention and greed more towards profit, attempting to fill the emptiness and inferiority complex brought about by their social status with lavish spending.

Therefore, when there is such an opportunity to slightly improve their situation, they are really capable of doing anything.

The imperial decree of commendation made Jin Wannian's breath quicken.

It was obvious to everyone that Xu Changqing and the Crown Princess were putting on a show just now.

It's not that Jin Wannan spent 300,000 to buy a cup. It's more accurate to say he spent 300,000 to pay for the play personally performed by the crown princess for him.

But the reward given by the Crown Princess made Jin Wannian wish he could buy dozens more of these cups.

"Commoner, commoner, thanks your Highness, the Crown Princess, for your grace!"

Jin Wanyue knelt on the ground, trembling with excitement. He felt as if every cell in his body was bursting with happiness.

The others looked at each other in dismay, their faces filled with regret.

They would just love to have dozens more cups, so they could show their loyalty once again.

Su Jinpa naturally wanted to meet their requirements.

A pair of eyes like autumn water, carrying a wisdom that seemed to pierce the heart, she spoke: "There are indeed a few things in the East Palace that the Prince usually likes. Now that the Prince is busy with government affairs, they have been left idle..."

"300,000!"

Cao Kun hardly let Su Jinping finish his words before he hurriedly raised three fingers, "Your Highness the Crown Princess, this humble subject is willing to pay 300,000 to buy one of them!"

He couldn't even wait for Su Jinpa to say what these things were.

With Cao Kun leading the way, others jumped at the opportunity, clamoring to buy a piece of the East Palace's idle property for 300,000 yuan each.

What that thing is doesn't matter at all, even if it's just a chamber pot, this bunch of rich people would treat it like an heirloom because it comes with an imperial decree.

This object is priceless.

In just a few short sentences, Su Jinpa had managed to acquire over three million, almost four million taels of silver. He couldn't help but be inwardly astonished.

These people are really obese.

The prince put a lot of effort into getting these people to the East Palace, and he had prepared three knives for them.

The first cut yielded over 500,000.

This second cut, directly flipped nearly ten times, releasing over four million.

But the real ace in the hole, the third knife, is the main event.tened that none of them dared to speak.After finishing his statement, Zhao Xuanji turned to Li Chen and said: "Your Highness, the squabble among the officials is all due to the conflict between King Z...
