But the starting bid was only five hundred taels of silver.
After all, the birth rate in the Great Shang was high, and with a larger female population, women were considered relatively less valuable.
Of course, five hundred taels of silver was equivalent to the purchasing power of one million RMB on Earth, so it was actually quite a lot.
"Three thousand taels!" Just then, Liu Linzhang and his two companions made their bid as expected.
"Ten thousand taels," Xu Lei said, bidding before anyone else could speak.
This stunned everyone present.
Bidding ten thousand taels for an Official Slave? Very few people would do such a thing!
They had thrown out thirty thousand taels for a painting by Divine Monk Wu Tan, but a painting at least had collection value and could even appreciate over time!
The expressions on Liu Linzhang and his friends' faces changed drastically. After exchanging a look and conferring,
"Ten thousand and one taels!" they gritted their teeth and bid again.
