Zhou Hao's death is undoubtedly a great loss for Cao Shuo.

Although Wei Tu took over the Touching Gold Camp, he didn't know anything about digging graves after all.

The Touching Gold Camp was not paralyzed, but its efficiency was much worse than before.

The Yuan family in Hebei is intensively preparing to use troops in Xuzhou, and Cao Shuo is also stepping up his armaments, preparing to start a big war with the Yuan family.

The craftsmen of the craftsman's workshop are rushing to make weapons and armor every day.

The flying kite, which was intended to be put into use on the Guandu battlefield, was also successfully tested under Cao Shuo's personal supervision.

In order to facilitate the siege of the city, Cao Shuo even developed a catapult that could be pulled by a horse-drawn cart.

The size is much smaller than that of the fixed catapult, and the new catapult has improved the projection arm and uses thick cow tendons as a catapult aid, which not only does not reduce the projection distance, but greatly increases the destructive power of the catapult.

In the open space of the craftsman's workshop, the weapons that were made out were neatly arranged.

Cao Shuo was ready to deal with the Yuan family's attack at any time.

The war is not yet coming, and Cao Shuo has endless things to do every day.

In addition to going to various government offices in Shouchun City to check the preparations before the battle, he would also inspect the city defense and the security situation in the city every day.

Wei Tu was no longer around, leaving Cai Ji alone.

In the first few days, Cao Shuo was really a little uncomfortable.

Surrounded by Cai Ji and more than a dozen guards, Cao Shuo rode along the streets.

From a distance, he saw many people outside the door of Lingyun Pavilion.

Pointing to Lingyun Pavilion, Cao Shuo asked, "What's going on there?" Why are there so many people today? ”

"Hui Gongzi." Cai Ji said: "Today, Lingyun Pavilion auctioned the burial goods in the Jianrong Tomb, and these people should all come to participate in the auction. ”

"Today's auction?" Cao Shuo said: "The funeral goods there are very ordinary, how can they attract so many people? ”

"Childe doesn't know." Cai Ji said: "In fact, it has been spread in Shouchun City two days ago, in order to open the Jianlu Tomb, many people died in the Jinjin camp, and even the Faqiu Zhonglang General was folded inside. Although the funerary goods brought out of it are not particularly cherished antiquities, for some people, they are worth far more than those cherished antiquities. ”

"Anything else?" Cao Shuo was stunned: "Who told you this?" ”

"Steward of Lingyun Pavilion." Cai Ji whispered: "The rumor is actually what he let people out, Gongzi ordered ten times the market price, but he changed it to twenty times the market price, saying that everyone has a sense of curiosity." Some people collect antiquities not really as a hobby, nor do they really like it, but just to show off their wealth and status. They don't care how much it costs, they only care about buying these antiquities, and when they mention them to their relatives and friends in the future, they can say how many people who have died for the burial goods in his hands. ”

Cai Ji said that the head was the Tao, and Cao Shuo was also stunned when he heard it.

The management of Lingyun Pavilion has always been prosperous in business, and it is precisely because of Lingyun Pavilion that Cao Shuo raised an army and rectified the place, so he did not have to worry about insufficient funds.

Seeing the crowd of people outside Lingyun Pavilion, Cao Shuo said to Cai Ji: "Let's also go and join in the fun, if necessary, you go and help Lingyun Pavilion." ”

"How can I help?" Cai Ji asked in amazement.

"Before the auction started, you went up to the stage and said that I value this auction very much. The Touching Gold Camp suffered heavy losses when digging this ancient tomb, and Zhou Hao, the general of Faqiu Zhonglang, also died in his post. Cao Shuo said: "I came to watch the auction in person, but also to comfort the dead heroes. ”

The consternation on his face was even greater than just now, Cai Ji looked at Cao Shuo and praised: "Gongzi is really thoughtful, in this way, those who are suspicious of Lingyun Pavilion's words will also let go of their worries, and today's auction will definitely be very successful." ”

"If it doesn't work out, wait until the auction is over." Cao Shuo said a word, and rode his horse towards Lingyun Pavilion.

"Childe is here." Cao Shuo came to the door of Lingyun Pavilion, and someone shouted, and the crowd dispersed to the side.

After getting off the horse, Cao Shuo asked the guards of Lingyun Pavilion who were guarding the door, "Is the steward here?" ”

"Go back to Gongzi!" The guard saluted and said, "Today's auction of the burial goods of the Jianrong Tomb, the steward has been preparing early in the morning and is inside. ”

Cao Shuo didn't ask any more questions, and took Cai Ji and the others directly into Lingyun Pavilion.

"Childe is here, it seems that this matter is true." Outside the gate, someone was muttering.

"Could it be that you haven't heard of it yet?" Another person said: "Because there were so many people who touched the gold camp that they even folded the Faqiu Zhonglang into it, Gongzi mobilized many people from various villages and leveled the whole tomb." ”

"Where did you hear that?" The man who was still a little skeptical about this asked.

"I have relatives outside the city, and he is one of them." The person who replied said: "Until now, the coffin is still in the open field, and if the son doesn't say that the grave will be filled, who dares to move?" ”

"But pity General Jianji." At first, some skeptical people pouted: "One or two hundred years after death, there is still a corpse wilderness." ”

"That's what it takes." Someone else said, "Since this is true, what are you waiting for?" Hurry in and grab a few pieces. Such an opportunity is missed, and there will never be another one. ”

"According to me, the price of the burial goods of the Jianrong tomb will increase a hundred times sooner or later." Another voice shouted, "If you grab it, you will earn it, everyone go in quickly!" ”

If Cao Shuo was at the door at this time, he would definitely be able to hear that some of the people in the crowd were arranged by Lingyun Pavilion.

But these people gathered outside the door of Lingyun Pavilion, where would Cao Shuo have seen more of the world?

More than 2,000 years later, human society is far from being as complex as people in this era.

Although they were not stupid, people who had not experienced those tricks, at the instigation of some people, clamored to enter Lingyun Pavilion to participate in the auction.

At this time, the guards of Lingyun Pavilion guarding the door stopped the crowd.

"Everyone, be quiet." The man who led the guards pressed his hand twice and shouted to the crowd: "The auction is a total of three days, and there will be two in the morning and afternoon today." The venue of Lingyun Pavilion is limited and cannot accommodate so many people. From now on, Lingyun Pavilion is officially opened, please buy ancient coins first. Seats are limited, while stocks last! ”

The man's words caused a burst of embarrassment.

Despite their disgruntle, the crowd gathered outside could only snap up the ancient coins they entered.

The ancient coins sold were completely a profitless business for Lingyun Pavilion.

If you want to enter the venue, you need to put the coins in the box before entering.

The ancient coins sold will soon return to Lingyun Pavilion, and for those who bought them, it is just a matter of passing through their hands and earning an admission qualification.

After Cao Shuo entered the Lingyun Pavilion, more and more people bought ancient coins and entered the pavilion.
