Liu Xin naturally understood what He Jin meant, after all, at the banquet of Yang Ci's 60th birthday two days ago, the birthday gift that Liu Xin gave to Yang Ci was a good treasure of great value, so He Jin naturally put the idea on Liu Xin again, hoping that Liu Xin could provide an auction item of the same level, as the treasure of the first Luoyang auction, after all, although the auction items that Liu Xin is providing now are not bad, but if you really want to talk about it, it naturally cannot be compared with the amber with the word "longevity".

And Liu Xin naturally will not refuse He Jin's proposal, after all, to put it bluntly, He Jin is also making money for Liu Xin, so Liu Xin also plans to make a big news, and make a good money at this first Luoyang auction, after all, the participants in this first Luoyang auction are all big tyrants, and they are all willing to spend money to buy things, so Liu Xin feels that he needs to take a good thing at the same level as the word "longevity" amber, and exchange some money with these "wronged big heads" to spend money...

Therefore, Liu Xin, who thought of this, nodded with a smile and said: "Of course, this proposal of yours, the general, is very good, and this king also has this idea, but for some reasons, this king was still struggling with this problem, but now it is okay, this king will personally send a treasure over as the finale of this Luoyang auction when the first Luoyang auction officially starts tomorrow, and please rest assured, general." ”

Liu Xin's words made He Jin secretly relieved, after all, He Jin was not sure of Liu Xin's attitude at first, but now it seems that he was right.

This Luoyang auction, He Jin felt that although he was busy and couldn't make much money, but this Luoyang auction has not been officially held now, and it has already brought himself a lot of fame, as well as the deliberate fawning of some second- and third-rate families, which made He Jin feel that he had made a lot of money at this Luoyang auction, but when He Jin heard about the birthday gift that Liu Xin gave to Yang Ci, He Jin moved some thoughts, after all, no one would dislike the benefits he got too much, and this time the Luoyang auction was held more successfully, then the more fame will be provided to himself, and the success of this Luoyang auction is focused on the auction items provided by Liu Xin, and when He Jin browsed the auction list provided by Liu Xin again, he found that most of the auction items provided by Liu Xin to the first Luoyang auction were auction items that had appeared in Yizhou Auction House, although generally speaking, it was enough to meet the conditions for the successful holding of the Luoyang auction, but there was a lack of auction items that could be finalized like the word "longevity" amber. That's why He Jin took advantage of Liu Xin's visit to Luoyang Auction House today to make such a request.

After all, Liu Xin's current identity and status are incomparable to He Jin, the general, after all, He Jin's real power is limited and his reputation is insufficient, although He Jin is still the leader of the foreign relatives' forces, but the foreign relatives are not completely in the hands of He Jin, so He Jin can only say that he is bitter in his heart, and now He Jin also knows that he is just a paper tiger who is strong and strong, and he still needs to make up for his shortcomings as soon as possible...

And Liu Xin also knows what the current situation of He Jin is, so he is willing to sell a face to He Jin, after all, He Jin, the nominal general, although in fact, can only control the soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, but He Jin no matter how he says it, nominally he controls all the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Xin is still planning how to find He Jin to ask for something, such as the establishment of military power, after all, although Liu Xin is the assassin of Yizhou and has a certain military power, but Liu Xin cannot have the right to expand the military strength of Yizhou at will. Therefore, Liu Xin is now befriending He Jin, and he can justifiably expand Yizhou's troops in the future, as well as get some other benefits, such as more food and salary.

Although the soldiers of the current Han army are all unpaid compulsory soldiers, but the army's accommodation and equipment wear and tear will definitely have, so the Han court will allocate food and salary every year according to the military strength and types of troops in each region, and the gap between the food and salary in each region is very large, because the army of the Han Dynasty will be divided into different levels, and the equipment and accommodation treatment of soldiers at different levels will be different, such as ordinary soldiers in Luoyang City, The equipment, food and lodging conditions are definitely better than those of the elite troops in the Yizhou area, so according to the information that Liu Xin got from where he entered, Luoyang's food and salary expenses were more than those of Jiaozhou in one state.

Although Liu Xin is now confident that he can feed the army in Yizhou with his own ability, Liu Xin will not be stupid enough to refuse a regular income like food, and Liu Xin feels that such a salary is naturally more and better.

And He Jin is also a wonderful person, when Liu Xin and He Jin decided to report the first Luoyang auction together, in the subsequent chat, He Jin mentioned that he would raise the army's food and salary expenses in the Yizhou area to a higher level, so that the infantry in the Yizhou area can enjoy the treatment of the Western Liang cavalry, you must know that now in addition to the army in Luoyang City, the troops with the highest food and salary treatment are the cavalry troops in the three border areas of Liangzhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou. After all, the cavalry units in these three regions are the main forces to protect the Han from foreign invasion, so the treatment of these cavalry units is naturally excellent.

Of course, this is also based on the fact that the higher officials did not deduct food and salary...

Therefore, Liu Xin, who thought of this, came up with a bad idea again, and continued to He Jin: "By the way, General, this king suddenly remembered one thing, that is, about the problem of soldiers and horses in the Yizhou area, General, you also know that this king intends to deal with those barbarians in the south of Yizhou, so this king now wants to expand the army, and wants to arm a fighting force as soon as possible, so this king hopes that the general you can agree to this king's request for army expansion." ”

When He Jin heard Liu Xin say this, he naturally patted his chest, nodded with a smile, and said: "Of course, Lord Wang, you are fighting for the territory of our Han Dynasty, how can I drag your hind legs, Lord Wang, you only need to prepare a written application for me, as long as it is not an exaggerated plan to expand the army by one million or something, I will approve it as soon as possible, and I have also prepared a batch of weapons and equipment that can arm a force of 5,000 people, these are all new equipment that will only be put into storage this year, It's a good thing to prepare for the troops in Luoyang City to be redressed, if you need it, then I will allocate this batch of weapons and equipment to the Yizhou army, and I am responsible for transporting the troops, but I have prepared them for you. ”

He Jin's words couldn't help but make Liu Xin laugh, I have to admire He Jin is really a wonderful person, after all, he can sit on the position of a general from a pig killer, and he has been sitting firmly in the position of a general for more than ten years in history, He Jin will have a little ability no matter how he says, at least in terms of figuring out people's hearts, He Jin is still doing a very good job, after all, now He Jin has guessed what he needs most now, so he is ready to give himself the exchange conditions, which also makes Liu Xin feel very good.

Of course, Liu Xin has not forgotten that the Yellow Turban Uprising will occur next year, and at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, a series of problems will inevitably occur, among which Liu Xin is most concerned about the issue of food and salary, after all, according to the information He Jin told Liu Xin before, the Han Dynasty supplies food and salary to remote areas like Yizhou in accordance with the spring of each year, and only began to transport grain after the autumn harvest. The Han court began to require the local government to be responsible for all or part of the grain, but He Jin also promised Liu Xin that he would not do this to Yizhou.

So in general, the annual food and salary given by the Han court to the army in various regions are divided into two parts, so Liu Xin feels that the part of the food and salary in the autumn of next year is likely to be affected, so Liu Xin did not forget to take this opportunity, and asked He Jin to pay off the army's salary in Yizhou in the spring every year, and He Jin naturally met Liu Xin's request.

As a result, Liu Xin and He Jin completed the talks in a friendly atmosphere, and both parties were very satisfied with what they had gained, after all, this was just an exchange for each taking what they needed.

After ending this brief meeting, He Jin saw that the time was not early, so he invited Liu Xin and his party to the open space behind the Luoyang Auction House, where all kinds of meat had been prepared, after all, He Jin had also heard that Liu Xin liked to eat barbecue, and barbecue is a very common way of cooking in Dahan, plus the suburbs of Luoyang can also provide a lot of game, so He Jin has already prepared the materials for this barbecue.

As a result, Liu Xin and his entourage were also happy with He Jin's guests, and He Jin did not forget to express his satisfaction with the seasonings brought by Liu Xin, especially something called "Lao Gan Ma"...

That's right, Liu Xin now carries a bottle of Su Jia's special "Lao Gan Ma" according to his own taste, after all, Liu Xin also feels that when he eats out now, the taste of the food is basically not too much to his appetite, so Liu Xin feels that he also needs some "Lao Gan Ma" for cooking, so he specially asked Su Jia to carry Lao Gan Ma with him, as well as seasonings such as cumin powder.

And for people like He Jin, who basically add salt to the barbecue, Liu Xin took out a dazzling array of seasonings with different flavors, which naturally made He Jin more knowledgeable, and after He Jin tried the barbecue with these seasonings, he naturally had the cheekiness to ask Liu Xin for a set of seasonings, and Liu Xin could only endure the pain, and nodded painfully and agreed to He Jin's request.

Liu Xin's painful expression on his face is not pretended, after all, there are still a lot of these seasonings in the warehouse outside Chengdu, but as far as Liu Xin's current situation is concerned, these seasonings are "non-renewable" resources, after all, many of the raw materials of these seasonings are not the current local crops of the Han Dynasty, so it is a little less, especially these seasonings that Liu Xin brought from Yizhou Chengdu in Luoyang City, which are not too much, after all, Liu Xin felt that he didn't need much of these seasonings at first, As a result, I didn't expect to meet so many friends in Luoyang City, and eating and drinking is also a great way to deepen friendship, so the consumption of these seasonings is also very fast...

Therefore, when He Jin was still unsatisfied and proposed to let Liu Xin use these seasonings as auction items, Liu Xin immediately shook his head, saying that the number of these seasonings is not much, and it is not enough for his own use, how can he take them out for auction...

After finishing lunch, He Jin sent someone to take Liu Xin and his party to take a look at the storage warehouse of Luoyang Auction House, because He Jin also found a lot of good things from the people, and He Jin did not forget to tell Liu Xin that if there is something that Liu Xin can see, just take it, and He Jin will give the seller a suitable price at that time.

After all, although it is now the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but before that, it was only the Xia, Shang and Zhou, the Spring and Autumn Warring States and the Great Qin dynasties, and the legacy of these dynasties, for Liu Xin, the valuable antiquities are basically some bronzes, and these bronzes are basically "the heavy weapons of the country", either they are still treasured in the Han court, or they are in the cemeteries of some princes and nobles. There are very few bronzes that can be left behind by the people, and they are generally some small bronzes, such as wine lords and the like.

And there is no paper in these dynasties, so let alone any calligraphy and painting works, after all, Liu Xin still remembers that before he crossed into this world, he had heard of such a mentally retarded problem, that is, someone was asking the Qin Dynasty and other dynasties before the Han Dynasty, why there was no calligraphy and painting, at that time Liu Xin wanted to ask this questioner, are you telling a joke, the Qin Dynasty and other dynasties before the Han Dynasty did not have paper for calligraphy and painting, and even the textile level is not good, Therefore, the calligraphers and painters at that time could only make murals, belonging to the most ordinary workers, and their social status was very low.

Therefore, it was not until the Han Dynasty that the improvement of textile technology led to the appearance of canvas, the appearance of paper, and the formal formation of calligraphy and painting skills, coupled with the promotion of the family, that the status of calligraphers and painters began to be improved.

So Liu Xin didn't think he could find anything good, but according to He Jin's introduction, there were treasures that He Jin thought were good, so Liu Xin was still a little curious.

But what Liu Xin didn't expect was that Liu Xin really found a good treasure this time.
