Chapter 1061 The auction is a gimmick
Zhou Hao's death was undoubtedly a huge loss to Cao Shu.
Although Wei Tu took over the gold-touching camp, he knew nothing about digging graves after all.
The Touching Camp was not paralyzed, but its efficiency was much worse than before.
The Yuan family in Hebei is preparing to use troops to Xuzhou, and Cao Shu is also stepping up his military preparations to start a war with the Yuan family.
The craftsmen in the craftsman workshop are rushing to make weapons and armor every day.
Feiyuan, who was once intended to be put into use on the Guandu battlefield, also successfully tested the flight under Cao Shu's personal supervision.
In order to facilitate siege, Cao Shu even developed a catapult that could be pulled by a carriage.
The volume is much smaller than the fixed catapult car. The new catapult car has improved the projection arm and used thick beef tendon as a catapult auxiliary, which not only does not reduce the projection distance, but also greatly increases the destructive power of the catapult car.
On the open space of the craftsman workshop, the weapons that were made were neatly arranged.
Cao Shu was ready to deal with the Yuan family's attack at any time.
Before the war came, Cao Shuo had endless things to do every day.
In addition to going to various government offices in Shouchun City to check the preparations before the war, he also patrolled the city defense and public security situation in the city every day.
Wei Tu is no longer by his side, only Cai Ji is left.
In the first few days, Cao Shu was really uncomfortable.
Surrounded by Cai Ji and more than a dozen guards, Cao Shu rode his horse along the street.
From afar, he saw many people around Lingyun Pavilion Gate.
Pointing to Lingyun Pavilion, Cao Shu asked, "What's going on there? Why are there so many people today?"
"Go back to the young master." Cai Ji said: "Today, Lingyun Pavilion auctioned the funeral objects in Jianjun's tomb. These people should have been here to participate in the auction."
"Auction today?" Cao Shuo said: "The funeral objects there are very ordinary, how could they attract so many people?"
"Young Master doesn't know anything." Cai Ji said: "In fact, it had already spread in Shouchun City two days ago. In order to open the tomb of Jianliang, many people died in the jin camp, and even the General Faqiu Zhonglang broke it inside. Although the burial objects brought from it were not particularly precious antiques, for some people, their value is far beyond those precious antiques."
"What else is there to say?" Cao Shuo was stunned: "Who told you this?"
"The manager of Lingyun Pavilion." Cai Ji whispered: "The wind was actually what he asked to release. The young master ordered ten times the market price, but he changed it to twenty times the market price. Everyone said that it was a curiosity. Some people did not really like it, nor did they really like it, but just to show their wealth and status. They didn't care how much money they spent, they only cared about buying these antiques. When they mentioned it to their relatives and friends in the future, they could say that they had died for the burial objects in his hand for many people who specialized in digging graves and digging graves."
Cai Ji was very polite, and Cao Shu was shocked when he heard it.
Lingyun Pavilion has always been prosperous in its management and business operations. It is precisely because of Lingyun Pavilion that Cao Shuo raised a large army and rectified the local area that he did not have to worry about insufficient funds.
Seeing the crowds of people outside Lingyun Pavilion, Cao Shuo said to Cai Ji: "Let's join in the fun too. If necessary, you can help Lingyun Pavilion."
"How to help?" Cai Ji asked in surprise.
"Before the auction started, you went to the stage and said, I attach great importance to this auction. The gold-muggling camp suffered heavy losses when digging this ancient tomb, and Zhou Hao, the general of the Central Army of Faqiu, died because of this." Cao Shuo said: "I came to watch the auction in person, to comfort the dead heroes."
The shock on his face was even more powerful than before. Cai Ji looked at Cao Shuo and praised: "Young master is indeed meticulous. In this way, those who doubt Lingyun Pavilion's words will also let go of their concerns. Today's auction will definitely be very successful."
"Will the auction be successful or not?" Cao Shuo said, and rode his horse towards Lingyun Pavilion.
"Young Master is here." Cao Shuo came to the gate of Lingyun Pavilion. Someone shouted, and the crowd dispersed to the side.
After getting off the horse, Cao Shu asked the guards of Lingyun Pavilion who were guarding the door: "Is the manager here?"
"Go back to the young master!" The guard saluted and replied: "Today, the burial objects of Jian'an tomb were auctioned. The manager was preparing for it early in the morning and was inside."
Cao Shu didn't ask any more questions, and took Cai Ji and others directly into Lingyun Pavilion.
"Young master is here, it seems that this matter is true." Outside the gate, someone was muttering in a low voice.
"Can you not hear it yet?" Another person said: "Because too many people from the Jinshi camp died, even the General Faqiu Zhonglang went in. The young master mobilized many civilians from various villages to level the entire tomb."
"Where did you hear it?" asked the person who was still skeptical about it.
"My family has relatives outside the city, and he is one of the civilians." The replyer said: "To this day, the coffin is still being flirted in the open air. The young master will fill the tomb, who dares to move?"
"It's a pity for General Jianjun." The person who was a little suspicious at first curled his lips: "One or two hundred years after his death, he will even be in a wilderness."
"Since this is true, why are you hesitating? Go in quickly and grab a few items. If you miss such an opportunity, you will not be able to come again in the future."
"According to my opinion, the price of the burial objects in Jianliang tomb will increase by a hundred times sooner or later." Another voice shouted: "Snatch it means making a profit, everyone hurry up!"
If Cao Shu was at the door at this time, he would definitely be able to hear that some of the people were arranged by Lingyun Pavilion.
But how could these people around Lingyun Pavilion have the world that Cao Shu had seen before?
The complexity of human society over two thousand years later is far beyond the same as that of people of this era.
Although they are not stupid, people who have not experienced those tricks are instigated by some people and are clamoring to enter Lingyun Pavilion to participate in the auction.
But at this time, the Lingyun Pavilion guarding at the door stopped the crowd.
"Everyone, calm down." The man who led the guard pressed his hands and shouted to the crowd: "The auction will last for three days, and there will be two games in the morning and afternoon today. Lingyun Pavilion is limited in the venue and cannot accommodate so many people. From now on, Lingyun Pavilion officially starts. Please buy ancient coins first to enter the venue. The seats are limited and you will be sold out until you sell it out!"
The man's words caused a sigh.
Although he was dissatisfied, the crowd around him could only rush to buy the ancient coins.
The ancient coins sold are completely profitable for Lingyun Pavilion.
If you want to enter the market, you need to put the ancient coins into the entrance box before entering the market.
The sold ancient coins will soon return to Lingyun Pavilion. For those who buy them, they just passed by them and earned the qualification to enter.
After Cao Shu entered Lingyun Pavilion, more and more people bought ancient coins and entered the market.
