Chapter 505: He Jin's Request
Dian Wei followed Liu Xin and his party to the "Taoyuan", and handed over the body of the colorful tiger to one of Cao Cao's subordinates, Liu Xin heard Cao Cao say that this subordinate used to be one of the best leather makers in Luoyang City, but unfortunately because the son of this leather maker killed someone and then absconded directly, the leather maker who did not have time to escape was arrested by the Luoyang government to give his son a crime, originally prepared to ask for beheading after the autumn, but Cao Cao saw that this leather maker was also an honest man, felt that his son's guilt should not be borne by the cobbler, so Cao Cao bailed the cobbler out and made the tanner his subordinate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Therefore, Cao Cao asked the tanner to take away the corpse of the colorful tiger, and strive to make this tiger skin rough before Liu Xin left Luoyang, after all, it takes a lot of time to complete the skin, so now the time is limited, and it can only be rough.
And Dian Wei got the reward for this colorful tiger from Cao Cao, as well as a settlement fee, which can also be said to be the first salary that Liu Xin paid to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei did not stay long in the "peach orchard", after all, Dian Wei had to return to his secluded village before dark, because there were no street lights in this year, and it was very troublesome to rush after dark, not to mention that although Luoyang was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, but on the hill outside Luoyang, there were also many bandits, so even if it was a fierce general like Dian Wei, I don't want to walk at night without being ambushed by bandits.
Of course, Liu Xin was also very curious and asked Dian Wei why Dian Wei used a pu knife instead of a halberd to hunt today.
When Dian Wei heard Liu Xin's question, he touched his head a little embarrassed, saying that his halberd had already been damaged, after all, the price of weapons in these years has remained high, because the iron-making technology of the Han Dynasty is just like that, and the melee halberd that Dian Wei is good at using is basically a full-body iron structure, so the price is even more expensive, and Dian Wei's original pair of halberds were damaged when he was fighting with Li Yong's subordinates after killing Li Yong, after all, it is still the same sentence, the iron-making technology of the Han is really not good, What's more, it is still made by an ordinary folk blacksmith with bad materials, so although Dian Wei's halberd is all made of iron, the durability is also very touching, so Dian Wei remembers that he was scrapped like this after repelling the attacks of more than 20 Li Yong's subordinates.
And Dian Wei's other halberd, also some time ago, Dian Wei was damaged when chasing a wild boar, so Dian Wei, who had no money to buy a pair of halberds, could only buy the cheap Pu knife in his hand now, and it was also Dian Wei's art master who was bold, in the face of some prey with relatively high "armor", such as the colorful tiger he met today, Dian Wei also chose to kill the colorful tiger with a dagger in order not to damage the Pu knife in his hand.
After listening to Dian Wei's answer, Liu Xin couldn't help but have a black line, he didn't expect Dian Wei to change to Pu Dao for this reason, of course, Liu Xin also assured Dian Wei who was about to leave that he would build a pair of high-quality halberds for Dian Wei, but after hearing Liu Xin's promise, Dian Wei couldn't help but be cheeky and asked Liu Xin for six halberds.
Liu Xin naturally would not refuse Dian Wei's request, after all, this is not a matter for Liu Xin, after all, the short halberd is used for melee combat, and the small halberd is a throwing weapon, which can enrich Dian Wei's offensive ability.
However, at this time, Liu Xin suddenly thought of a problem, that is, although the current iron-making technology of Dahan is very good compared with other civilizations in the same period, it is very backward in Liu Xin's eyes, and Liu Xin also knows that there are many existing iron-making and steel-making technologies in Sujia that can be immediately launched and put into practical application.
Therefore, Liu Xin is going to discuss with Su Jia after going back, and after returning to Yizhou, he will come up with a more suitable set of iron-making and steel-making technology, so that the production efficiency and combat ability of Yizhou can be greatly improved.
After Dian Wei left the "Taoyuan", Liu Xin and his entourage also left the "Taoyuan" and returned to Luoyang City, and went back to their respective homes directly.
After dinner, Liu Xin told Su Jia his idea, and Su Jia agreed with Liu Xin's idea and began to compile a suitable plan.
And Liu Xin also got a message from Su Jia, that is, He Jin sent someone to inform Liu Xin that He Jin has completed the preparations for the Luoyang auction, and has decided to hold the Luoyang auction tomorrow, of course, this is also the day when some auction participants who enjoy special treatment visit the auction in advance, and the official Luoyang auction will be held the day after tomorrow, but He Jin still hopes that Liu Xin will go to the outskirts of Luoyang tomorrow, and the Luoyang auction house transformed from the manor bought by He Jin, Participate in the "warm-up" event of this Luoyang auction.
After all, in the final analysis, this Luoyang auction is nominally hosted by Liu Xin, He Jin is just a role similar to the "undertaker", so it is still necessary for Liu Xin to sit in the Luoyang auction, not to mention that Liu Xin can also take this opportunity to get acquainted with some high-level people of the Han Dynasty, after all, the people who can participate in the Luoyang auction hosted by He Jin are basically the best people in the Han Dynasty today, and no matter how bad they are, they are all named families in the neighboring areas around Luoyang City, of course, There are also many famous wealthy businessmen in the Han Dynasty who have tried their best to buy the qualifications to participate in this Luoyang auction.
And He Jin also told Liu Xin that this Luoyang auction also received a lot of consignment auction items, including a lot of good things, He Jin said that they were all kept for Liu Xin, so Liu Xin felt that he needed to go tomorrow.
So early the next morning, Liu Xin packed up his clothes and took Su Jia and his group to the place of Luoyang Auction House, but unfortunately, Liu Xin originally planned to take Lai Ying'er to participate in it, but in the end he was politely rejected by Lai Ying'er, but this was also expected by Liu Xin, after all, Liu Xin also knew that since Ying'er's character, it was basically impossible to agree to such a proposal, so Liu Xin was not good at forcing Ying'er to come.
And when Liu Xin and his entourage passed by the gate of Luoyang City, they happened to see Dian Wei who came to Liu Xin to report, so Liu Xin happened to bring Dian Wei with him.
And last night, Su Jia built a pair of halberds and six halberds overnight, as well as special straps, so Liu Xin directly gave these halberds to Dian Wei, and Dian Wei was very satisfied with this, after all, Su Jia used the standard steelmaking technology of the future, but unfortunately there are not many materials available, but Dian Wei's set of equipment can still be used as a very modern cold weapon, if the strength of ordinary weapons in this era is one, then the strength of Dian Wei's set of weapons is about seven to eight, It can be compared to the famous weapons of the Three Kingdoms like the Blue Dragon Glaive.
When Dian Wei put on Su Jia's special strap and equipped the eight halberds in place, Dian Wei instantly changed from a hunter with a relatively strong appearance to a bit of a fierce general.
Although the Luoyang Auction House that He Jin renovated was located on the outskirts of Luoyang, it was not far from the gate of Luoyang City where Liu Xin left, only two or three miles away, and He Jin, as the actual organizer of this Luoyang auction, had naturally started to welcome guests at the door of Luoyang Auction House.
When He Jin saw Liu Xin's iconic flowing horse, he walked over with a smile, and Liu Xin naturally couldn't put up a shelf casually, so Liu Xin also got off the flowing horse, and followed Cao Cao and his party to He Jin.
Of course, Liu Xin only realized a problem at this time, that is, there seemed to be a lot of people he brought, because except for Jiang Wei, who wanted to stay in the compound, the other people came with Liu Xin, so Liu Xin was a little embarrassed and teased He Jin: "General, there are a lot of people brought by this king today, I don't know if you have prepared enough lunch, General?" ”
He Jin naturally laughed, shook his head and said: "Where is it, Lord Wang, you are just joking, Lord Wang, you can bring so many people here, that is to give me someone He a face, and the protagonist of this auction is Lord Wang, I am not doing it for you." ”
After Liu Xin and He Jin exchanged pleasantries, they entered the Luoyang Auction House together, as He Jin introduced to Liu Xin before, the transformation of the Luoyang Auction House has been successfully completed, and it is also completed in accordance with the transformation suggestions and drawings given by Su Jia, which is similar to the structure of Liu Xin's Yizhou Auction House, but Luoyang is the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty after all, so the area of the Luoyang Auction House is more than twice that of the Yizhou Auction House, so the number of participants in the Luoyang Auction that He Jin has now determined has reached 1,000 people. After all, the participants of the Luoyang auction this time are not allowed to bring bodyguards into the venue, because He Jin, as a general, naturally mobilized a five-hundred-person Luoyang City Guard, and those bodyguards who could not enter the venue of the Luoyang auction were responsible for security work outside the venue, and the garrison camp outside Luoyang City was only two or three kilometers away from the Luoyang auction, so the security work of the Luoyang auction was already very perfect, after all, unless Zhang Jiao patted his head now and decided to hold the Yellow Turban Uprising to attack Luoyang, Otherwise, there will be no problems with the Luoyang auction.
After learning that the security work of the Luoyang auction was so complete, Liu Xin couldn't help but express his contempt for He Jin's public and private behavior... and appreciation, after all, most of the auction items in this Luoyang auction are provided by Liu Xin, so the majority of the income from the Yizhou auction can be obtained by Liu Xin, so the security work of the Luoyang auction is also Liu Xin's most concerned issue, after all, no one will dislike his own money too much, not to mention that Liu Xin will spend a lot of money to buy some materials after returning to Yizhou in the future, such as buying horses from the Xiliang area, buying ore resources from other regions, etc., these are all costly. Therefore, although Liu Xin didn't care about the Luoyang auction some time ago, and did not interfere in all the affairs of the Luoyang auction, and let He Jin make trouble by himself, Liu Xin's heart is still very concerned about whether the Luoyang auction can end smoothly and his own interests, and through He Jin's introduction to himself now, Liu Xin can be regarded as relieved, because Liu Xin knows that the auction items he provides are unlikely to have the problem of unsuccessful auctions, so he can already prepare to lie down and collect money.
After visiting the Luoyang Auction House, He Jin took Liu Xin to a lounge, and He Jin had something to discuss with Liu Xin, so he invited Su Jia and his group to another lounge.
Liu Xin sat in his place and asked He Jin with some doubts: "General, do you have something to discuss with this king?" As long as you make arrangements according to the booklet that the king gave you, there should be no problem if you want to successfully hold the Luoyang auction. ”
After Liu Xin discussed with He Jin and decided to hold the Luoyang auction, he asked Su Jia to write a booklet the next day, writing out all the problems that need to be paid attention to in holding the Luoyang auction, so it stands to reason that all the problems that may be encountered in the Luoyang auction have been solved, so Liu Xin is now very puzzled What He Jin is looking for himself.
And He Jin smiled hehe, and said to Liu Xin a little embarrassed: "Well, Lord Wang, you are right, now the Luoyang auction should be held smoothly, but this can only be said to be able to hold a Luoyang auction in a decent manner, so I think that as the first Luoyang auction held for the first time, and it is also the first Luoyang auction held in the name of the prince, it should be more brilliant, so as to be worthy of your name." ”
As soon as Liu Xin heard He Jin say this, he knew what He Jin was thinking, so Liu Xin smiled and asked knowingly: "Oh, what do you think this king needs to do to make this first Luoyang auction more brilliant?" ”
He Jin naturally knew that Liu Xin had understood what he meant, and seeing Liu Xin's current appearance, he had already agreed with his own idea, so He Jin smiled again and said: "Then I will tell you directly, I have already seen the auction items of the Luoyang auction that you provided to me, although these rare treasures are rare good treasures in the Han Dynasty, but there is one less one that can be calmed down, so please take out another treasure that can be more graded." ”
Liu Xin smiled, and only said one sentence in his heart, as expected.
