When Zhao Ziliang asked the waiter to call out the price of eight thousand gold coins, the host Kulikus did not immediately use his sharp tongue.
The highly encouraging words came out of his mouth without any pause, but he He was not in a hurry to count.
He needed to give Sexta No. 1 and General Andrew, No. 2 guest of honor, some time to think about it.
Zhao Ziliang didn't have any emotions.
No matter how large the amount involved in such an auction, it would not disturb his mood at all, but he was quite interested in the owner of the Moulin Rouge.
At this time, Zhang Huchen came in with Wan Qingming.
Wan Qingming walked to Zhao Ziliang and whispered in his ear, mainly talking about the situation at Moulin Rouge.
This was the reason why Zhao Ziliang asked Zhang Hucheng to go out to find Wan Qingming.
As Dong Deputy Governor of the factory, Wan Qingming The situation in Constantinople is also well known.
Dongchang has deployed many informants in Constantinople to inquire about all aspects of the news.
They are also more concerned about the existence of Moulin Rouge.
Therefore, Dongchang has long considered the Moulin Rouge.
I investigated it up and down.
After listening to Wan Qingming's low-pitched report, Zhao Ziliang realized that the background of Moulin Rouge was really not simple.
The Moulin Rouge has existed for more than two hundred years.
At first, the Moulin Rouge was not in this building, but near the walls of Constantine.
It was founded by a prostitute.
This woman specifically It is impossible to verify her name.
After all, it has been too long.
Dongchang only found this woman at that time.
The opening of the Moulin Rouge was supported by Queen Theodora as a backer.
Dongchang's intelligence analysis officers concluded from various information investigated that the first owner of the Moulin Rouge and Queen Theodora may have known each other when they were young, and even this The woman is most likely a sister of Queen Theodora when she was a dancer or prostitute.
As we all know, Queen Theodora had been committed to improving the social status of women during her lifetime.
She was the ancestor of feminism and the women's rights movement.
Her behavior won the support of many noble ladies of the powerful class and women in the public at that time.
She often suffers To the oppressed women speaking out and asking for justice, the Moulin Rouge was a very special existence at the time.
Its background was so large that it exceeded people's phenomena.
With the protection of rights, the power of the Moulin Rouge developed rapidly, involving various fields, when it was founded The original intention was to provide a roof for all oppressed women to shelter from the wind and rain.
However, after so many years, the current Moulin Rouge seems to have violated the original intention and principles of its founding, and its apparent power and hidden power The power in the dark seems to have It has reached an unimaginable point.
However, if an entity like Moulin Rouge wants to do business in peace and develop its power, it must be protected by the powerful class, otherwise it will easily be destroyed.
After all, its power is so big that it has already reached an unimaginable level.
It aroused suspicion among the powerful and high-ranking officials.
Of course, in the past two hundred years, the Moulin Rouge has experienced several large-scale internal strife.
The internal strife has caused great losses to the strength of the Moulin Rouge several times.
Some wars have also caused great losses to the strength of the Moulin Rouge.
After all, This is not an existence with a good reputation.
Wan Qingming also told Zhao Ziliang news about the current backer of the Moulin Rouge.
According to reliable information, the current backer of the Moulin Rouge is most likely the Empress Dowager Irina, because Irina was also a queen in the history of the Eastern Roman Empire.
A heroine with tough skills and superb methods, and she also supports the improvement of women's status.
This is her inevitable attitude, because she is in that position.
Only by improving women's social status can her power be stable, so Moulin Rouge took refuge.
It seemed to be a natural thing for her.
Although the strength of the Moulin Rouge has fluctuated due to internal strife and wars over the past two hundred years, it has become a behemoth.
It not only has its own armed forces, but also has its own intelligence organization, which is located all over the country.
Opening the Goulan Courtyard as a stronghold and training prostitutes to gather information for spies is probably one of Irina's willingness to protect the Moulin Rouge.

She needs the intelligence organization of the Moulin Rouge to work for her.
Zhao Ziliang was digesting the background and strength of Moulin Rouge when a shout suddenly came from outside: "Ten thousand gold coins" The waiter turned around and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "This is the quotation for VIP Room No. 1."
Zhao Ziliang laughed when he heard this: "It seems that VIP No. 1 was irritated.
He was directly raised from eight thousand gold coins to ten thousand gold coins, a span of two thousand gold coins.
By the way, do you know who VIP No. 1 is?"
The waiter shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, guest.
I'm just a waiter.
I have no way of knowing any information about the VIP room.
Even if I know it, I can't leak it to anyone.
Just like now, I never inquire about the guests, nor do I I will tell anyone that the villain has never come in tonight, let alone seen a few guests, that's all."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "It seems that you are a very smart person.
I like smart people."
The quotation of 10,000 gold coins really frightened many people, and many people in the hall were shocked and speechless.
The host Kourikus was dancing with excitement and continuing to incite.
At this time, a steward came up to the stage and whispered a few words in his ear.
Kourikus nodded repeatedly, and then said to all the guests: "In view of this event, The amount of the auction is too large.
We must ensure that the several distinguished guests participating in the bidding are able to pay such a large amount of money.
Therefore, we need to ask three distinguished guests to provide proof that they have sufficient financial resources.
There are two ways to prove that you have the financial resources to pay such a large amount of money: first, bring out more than 30,000 gold coins in cash on the spot; second, maybe the distinguished guests do not have such a large amount of cash with them, so please announce it on the spot Your true identity will be judged by the Moulin Rouge and all the guests on site.
Whether you have the financial resources to ask three distinguished guests to choose either of these two methods within a quarter of an hour."
Who would have nothing to do and run around carrying a sack of gold coins?
For people with status and status, their identity and social status are reputation and wealth, but this does not include those second-generation officials, second-generation rich people and even those who cannot make the decision.
The second generation of Jue, their expenses were still provided by their parents.
They were unable to pay such a large amount of money, so they had to reveal their identities in public and make the news public.
Afterwards, their parents would not be able to deny it for the sake of face.
After Kuricus' words came out, he immediately aroused the support of the entire hall and other VIP guests.
This made the scene even more exciting, because this eliminated the possibility of secret operations to a large extent, and everyone announced the truth.
Identities are facing each other and they are fighting to see who has the strongest financial resources.
If you carry enough gold coins with you, you are considered to have foresight and no one else can say anything.
This sudden decision of the Moulin Rouge made Sexta, the No. 1 VIP, extremely unhappy.
He went directly to the battle in person, walked to the window and shouted: "What's going on with your Moulin Rouge?
You sent the invitation.
You must know it."
Since we know our true identity, we should know whether we have the financial resources to pay this amount, so why should we make such a provision?"
Kuricus has a good temper.
He has developed it a long time ago.
He smiled and said: "Mr.
VIP No. 1, please forgive me.
We do not know the true identity of any VIP.
Your invitations are all the same.
You are invited Entry into the VIP room is random, which is to ensure the privacy of customers to the greatest extent.
If the transaction amount is less than 10,000 gold coins, Moulin Rouge has no worries about the guests' payment ability, but the current transaction amount has reached 10,000 gold coins. coins, and may even exceed 10,000 in the future.
In order to prevent the successful bidder from being unable to pay the transaction amount and causing losses to us, we have to introduce this rule.
We hope that VIP No. 1 can understand that if VIP No. 1 Since you do not carry so many gold coins, and you are wary of revealing your identity, we also express our understanding.
You can choose to withdraw from the bidding, and our Moulin Rouge will compensate you to a certain extent."

Sure enough, the young man still couldn't stand it.
Sexta immediately blushed and shouted: "Why should I worry about my identity being known?
What can I do if someone knows my identity?
I'm the imperial guard."
Viscount Sexta, the youngest son of General Alexius, the commander of the army, can I pay this amount with the strength of my family?"
"Oh, it turns out he is the youngest son of Alexius.
Their family is a long-established noble family with countless assets.
Tens of thousands of gold coins is really nothing to their family."
The guests in the hall started talking.
Kuricus said with a smile: "It turns out to be His Excellency Viscount Sexta.
That's no problem.
Your family is strong enough to pay this amount.
What about the other two distinguished guests?"
In the VIP Room No. 2, General Andrew thought for a moment and then raised his head and nodded to the robed servant.
The robed servant immediately shouted to the hall: "My master is General Andrew, the deputy commander of the Third Army."
"Ah, it turned out to be the famous General Andrew.
That's no problem."
Kuricus said with a flattered look.
Regardless of what others were talking about, he continued to ask: "Now the No. 1 and No. 2 VIPs are...
I have announced my true identity, so I don’t know whether VIP No. 13 will reveal his true identity or choose to withdraw from the bidding.”
No one thought that distinguished guest No. 13 would come here with 30,000 gold coins, including the host Kuricus, so he didn't even ask this question.
Zhao Ziliang smiled and nodded to Zhang Huchen.
Only then did Liao Zhengkai feel that something was wrong with Zhao Ziliang.
He didn't seem like a guard anymore.
He immediately thought of Dugujun, Liu Dan and others, and something suddenly occurred to him.
Yes, his face turned pale, he turned to look at Zhao Ziliang secretly, and his heart began to beat violently.
Zhang Huchen walked to the window and said loudly: "My master chooses the first option.
We are from the Western Qin Kingdom.
My master has a gold bank promissory note issued by the Western Qin Royal Gold Bank.
According to the exchange ratio, one gold dollar can be exchanged.
Three Eastern Roman Empire gold coins, this ten thousand gold yuan cashier's check from the Royal Gold Bank of the Western Qin Dynasty is enough.
It is equivalent to 30,000 Eastern Roman gold coins.
As long as you hold this gold bank cashier's check, you can withdraw money at any branch of the Western Qin Royal Gold Bank.
As far as we know, there are three Western Qin Royal Banks in Constantinople.
The branch of the gold bank, Moulin Rouge, can send someone or invite someone from the Royal Gold Bank to check the authenticity of the cashier's note":
