Chapter 519: Blue and White Porcelain
Liu Xin understands that Cheng Yu is actually similar to the later important ministers of Shu and Fa Zheng, these two people are both upright and ruthless people, but the biggest difference between Cheng Yu and Fa Zheng is naturally the difference between the two people.

The biggest reason why Cheng Yu was a late bloomer and had the opportunity to officially go out of the mountain at the age of forty was that Cheng Yu's background was not good, which made Cheng Yu stay at the bottom of the society for too long, and Cheng Yu himself was the kind of person who was very powerful.
After all, Cheng Yu is not a child of a family like Xun Yu, he can get a lot of resources and help casually, Cheng Yu is slowly rewarded by his own efforts, so Liu Xin feels that Cheng Yu's performance in history can be said to be understandable, because you can't expect a person whose life is all problems and has been treated unfairly, and who has nothing to do but be compassionate and maintain a dynasty that is about to collapse.
As for Cheng Yu's so-called black history, Liu Xin also felt that Cheng Yu's actions could only be said to be unreasonable, but it was in line with the situation at the time, so Liu Xin thought that Cheng Yu was very similar to Jia Xu, who could be called a "poisoner" during the Three Kingdoms period, and the reason why Cheng Yu and Jia Xu were "poisonous" was because they were both born in the ordinary civilian class, so they would not take care of so many things, but this is also the reason why they lived for a long time, because the fewer things they cared about, the more comfortable they could live.
Therefore, Cheng Yu in history is a staunch pro-Cao faction, and it can be said that among Cao Cao's subordinates, he hopes that Cao Cao will be the emperor's strategist, because Cheng Yu's ancestors and himself are all commoners in the Han Dynasty, if the Han Dynasty is not over, then Cheng Yu will be a famous family at most in the future, because Cheng Yu's background is not enough, and he cannot become a real family.
However, if the Han Dynasty ends from now on, and Cao Wei replaces the Han Dynasty in charge of the world, then Cheng Yu, as the founder of the country, is bound to make his family among the ranks of the family, although Cheng Yu's background is still a problem, but so what, now the world has changed, even if those old families look down on Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yu, as the founder of the country, can also be directly ignored, this is like the early Tang Dynasty, although Cheng Yanjin and others were born recklessly, but after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Especially after the Xuanwumen Mutiny, they have become indisputable families, even the five families of the Tang Dynasty have to recognize the "legitimacy" of these families.
Therefore, Liu Xin felt that Cheng Yu had already decided the path he wanted to take in the early days of taking refuge in Cao Cao, that is, to help Cao Cao unify the world desperately, and it was best to let Cao Cao replace the Han Dynasty, of course, Cheng Yu was the right bet, and he also got the result he wanted.
But now, Liu Xin is a little worried about Cheng Yu's character, after all, Cheng Yu has not quarreled with people in history, and in terms of dealing with people, Liu Xin also feels that Cheng Yu is deficient, and Cheng Yu is also the kind of person who dares to start, Liu Xin began to worry that the first infighting under his subordinates would not be provoked by Cheng Yu, right?
Thinking of Liu Xin here, he couldn't help but look at Cheng Yu, who was honest and walking beside him, and he was temporarily relieved, because Liu Xin knew that there was no problem for the time being, after all, the current Cheng Yu was also "sensible", knowing his status under Liu Xin, plus although the Han Dynasty is a little chaotic now, there are uprisings and rebellious troops everywhere, but there is no feeling that the building is about to fall, so Cheng Yu did not want to support Liu Xin to establish himself as king as he did when he assisted Cao Cao in history. Now Cheng Yu should want to be Liu Xin's subordinate honestly, and then be promoted step by step to make a fortune, after all, if Cheng Yu becomes a local taishou, he is also qualified to establish a Han and third-rate family, but no matter what, this is also a family.
Therefore, Liu Xin feels that the current Cheng Yu is also concerned, and he should not do things for himself inexplicably.
After all, who would be idle and find excitement and make a lot of trouble for themselves, not to mention that Cheng Yu in history has "retired successfully" many times and took the initiative to "abdicate and make way for Xian", Cheng Yu should also be regarded as a person who "advances and retreats brightly", and will not be idle and want to do things...
So, Liu Xin and Cheng Yu chatted with each other, and soon came to the VIP room on the second floor of Luoyang Auction House, where Dian Wei was guarding the door, waiting for his arrival.
After Dian Wei came to serve under Liu Xin, he quickly found his position, that is, Liu Xin's bodyguard, because Dian Wei also knew that his kung fu was not very good, but in terms of foot combat, Dian Wei had defeated Wang Shuang, who claimed to be the first military general under Liu Xin, after all, although Jiang Wei was able to beat Wang Shuang, Jiang Wei was "shamelessly" divided into the scribe group by Wang Shuang, so Wang Shuang is still the "first general" under Liu Xin...
Therefore, after Dian Wei, who didn't know the truth, defeated Wang Shuang in foot combat, Wang Shuang, who thought he had lost face, was also a little smart, knowing that Wang Shuang's foot combat ability was very strong, but his kung fu was not very good immediately, and Wang Shuang was also a real general.
Therefore, in order to get back on the field, Wang Shuang tried a horse battle with Dian Wei, and Dian Wei was not a simple reckless man, naturally he knew that Wang Shuang felt that he had lost face in the foot battle just now, and now he wanted to get back face, so for the sake of harmony between colleagues in the future, plus Dian Wei himself is not very good at riding horses, so Dian Wei chose to defeat very neatly.
However, this also let Dian Wei know his current position, that is, a master of foot combat, although Dian Wei knew that Liu Xin would move troops against the barbarians in the south of Yizhou after Yizhou stabilized, and when the time came in Yizhou, where the terrain was complicated, infantry was the king, and he would have room to play, but Dian Wei felt that his best role was still as Liu Xin's bodyguard.
Therefore, Dian Wei very consciously characterized himself as Liu Xin's bodyguard, but he also understood very well that Liu Xin was an "immortal master", and ordinary means could not hurt Liu Xin, so the existence of his bodyguard only played an exemplary role, so when Liu Xin was talking to Wei Qi downstairs at the Luoyang auction just now, Dian Wei did not stay there to protect Liu Xin, and followed the large army to the VIP room on the second floor of the Luoyang Auction House to protect other people, after all, Wang Shuang did not come today because he wanted to guard his house, and Jiang Wei's strength Dian Wei is not very clear, so Dian Wei is definitely the only one who can fight among the people present, and Liu Xin's fiancée, Dian Wei's housemother is also here, so Dian Wei directly guarded the door of the VIP room, standing there like an iron tower, not angry and arrogant.
After Dian Wei saw Liu Xin, he directly helped Liu Xin open the door, and Liu Xin also began to feel that Dian Wei was very suitable for his temper and was a very good bodyguard.
After Liu Xin took Dian Wei and Cheng Yu into the VIP room, he introduced Cheng Yu to everyone first, after all, in terms of Cheng Yu's ability, if there are no accidents, Cheng Yu will definitely be able to become an important member of his subordinates in the future, so Liu Xin must ensure the friendship between Cheng Yu and others.
After Jiang Wei and others learned about Liu Xin's evaluation of Cheng Yu, they naturally accepted Cheng Yu's joining, and after all, Cheng Yu was more than ten years older than Jiang Wei and others, so he could be said to be well-informed.
Seeing this situation, Liu Xin was secretly relieved, and it seemed that the situation was much better than he imagined.
But think about it, among the people present, Huang Quan was born in a big family (Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were chatting with Liu Xin, so they were ignored), but Huang Quan was still relatively young and had not yet performed the crown ceremony, so Huang Quan put himself in the right position very honestly and became an honest student.
And Jiang Wei and others naturally became an "ordinary person" because of Liu Xin, while Zhang Song was born in a declining family, so naturally he would not be arrogant, so he chatted with Cheng Yu very much.
So, in a harmonious atmosphere, the first Luoyang auction finally began.
The layout of Luoyang Auction House is very similar to the layout of Yizhou Auction House, and it can even be said that Luoyang Auction House is a lengthened and widened version of Yizhou Auction House, which is the puls of Yizhou Auction House, after all, this is also the best layout of this kind of building of the auction house, so He Jin is also very honest in accordance with the drawings provided by Liu Xin to build Luoyang Auction House.
And He Jin also arranged an auctioneer in accordance with the auction process provided by Liu Xin, and this auctioneer turned out to be He Jin himself...
For He Jin's behavior, Liu Xin naturally said that you He Jin is happy, after all, He Jin also spent money to buy the right to hold this Luoyang auction, Liu Xin can only let He Jin toss blindly, obviously, this time He Jin wants to be in charge of the auction, naturally for his own reputation, but Liu Xin feels that with He Jin's eloquence, maybe he is really suitable to be an auctioneer...
So, in a burst of discussion, He Jin took a simple megaphone, to put it bluntly, it was the mouth part of an ordinary loudspeaker, and started this Luoyang auction.
I don't know who He Jin asked to catch the knife, and he even made a good opening statement, Liu Xin estimated that it should be a certain Wang Situ who did not want to be named.
Of course, He Jin still has a clear sense of priorities and priorities, so although He Jin wants to say a few more words and brush up on his prestige, He Jin knows that everyone present is not coming for him, so He Jin will accept it when he sees it, and when he sees that the situation is good, he officially launched the first auction item today.
As the first auction item of the first Luoyang auction, it is natural that the things that have appeared in the Yizhou auction cannot be used as the opening scene, so Liu Xin chose a good auction item according to the current situation, that is-blue and white porcelain vase!
Because the level of porcelain production in the Han Dynasty is very limited, the finished product can only be said to be nothing more than Erer, but this does not affect the Han Dynasty people's love for porcelain, and the ancient foreigners' perception of the Han Dynasty, in addition to silk and tea, is more porcelain, so Rome at the same time as the Han Dynasty was called "Great Qin" by China, and Rome called the Han Dynasty "the country of porcelain".
And the porcelain prepared by Liu Xin this time is naturally the highest masterpiece in the history of Chinese porcelain, and it is also the most recognizable - blue and white porcelain.
The full name of blue and white porcelain is blue and white porcelain, but because it is often referred to as blue and white porcelain, it is a treasure of Chinese ceramic firing technology, and it is also one of the mainstream varieties of Chinese porcelain today, which belongs to underglaze colored porcelain.
The blue and white porcelain is made of cobalt ore containing cobalt oxide as raw material, depicted on the ceramic body, and then covered with a layer of transparent glaze, fired by a high-temperature reduction flame, the cobalt material is blue after firing, and has the characteristics of strong tinting strength, bright color, high firing rate and stable color.
As for the origin of blue and white porcelain, its earliest batch of blue and white porcelain in the Tang and Song dynasties has seen clues, mature blue and white porcelain appeared in the Yuan Dynasty Jingdezhen Hutian kiln, so there is also a Yuan blue and white porcelain, to the Ming Dynasty, blue and white porcelain has become the mainstream of porcelain at that time, and in the Qing Dynasty Kangxi development to the peak, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also created and burned blue and white five-colored, peacock green glaze blue and white, bean green glaze blue and white, blue and white red color, yellow ground blue and white, brother glaze blue and white and other derivative varieties.
And what Liu Xin asked Su Jia to make is the most mature blue and white porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, which depicts lifelike flowers and peonies, which makes people like it at first glance.
Therefore, when this blue and white porcelain vase was displayed at the auction, all the buyers present looked at this blue and white porcelain vase with blazing eyes, because they all understood the value of this blue and white porcelain vase, after all, this is a porcelain that they have never seen before, and it is extremely high in terms of collection value and ornamental value.
Of course, here He Jin did not forget to introduce this blue and white porcelain vase, "everyone has seen that this porcelain vase is made using a new production process, called blue and white porcelain, its ornamental nature does not need to be He I elaborate, everyone should be able to see how good the quality of this blue and white porcelain vase is, of course, the most important point is that the maker of this blue and white porcelain vase, but now the famous Chengdu King His Royal Highness made it himself, the only one in the world, So the value of this blue and white porcelain vase is self-evident, so, in order to carry out today's Luoyang auction smoothly, the starting price of this blue and white porcelain vase is sixty-six gold, sixty-six or six Shun, okay, please bid! ”
