Chapter 63: The Day Before the Auction
Time is fleeting, and the sun and the moon are like a shuttle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before you know it, there is only one day left before the auction.
Chengdu City, which was originally very prosperous, is now even more lively, with a large number of caravans entering and leaving Chengdu City every day, and there are many visitors in front of the Huangfu Gate.
Liu Xin didn't know how many representatives of the wealthy family he had met today, all in all, Liu Xin felt that he just needed to smile now.
The smooth holding of the exhibition made all the major families in Yizhou know about Liu Xin's existence, and they are also full of interest in all kinds of rare treasures in Liu Xin's hands.
As a result, the major families in Yizhou coincidentally chose to go to Chengdu to participate in the auction held by Liu Xin.
Therefore, every wealthy family who comes to Chengdu City will send a representative to Huangfu to have a relationship with Liu Xin, which makes Liu Xin very annoyed.
But the only thing that made Liu Xin happy was that the gifts given by these people were very generous, and it could be regarded as a benefit fee for chatting with them for so long.
However, the influx of wealthy families from major families into Chengdu City naturally included all kinds of gentlemen, and there were a lot of troubles.
After all, these gentlemen, in their respective families' territory, are all rampant and domineering figures, this time they are all together, it is inevitable that some contradictions will occur, not to mention that some gentlemen have been grudging for a long time, so they will do it if they don't agree with each other, and fighting has become the main theme of Chengdu City in the past few days, and Huang Mei has a headache for this.
After all, behind these gentlemen are the major wealthy families, no matter how they deal with it, there will be problems, and even make both ends unpleasant.
So Huang Mei had to choose to orally educate these gentlemen, and then go back to their respective homes and find their own mothers.
Liu Xin also had a headache for this, after all, these wealthy families are not only extremely protective of their shortcomings, but also have a large number of resources and contacts in their hands, Liu Xin does not want to be unhappy with these wealthy families, and he will enter Yizhou in the future, and he will also need the help and support of these wealthy families.
As for those gentlemen, Liu Xin couldn't let them go unpunished, and let them destroy the public security environment of Chengdu City at will, so Liu Xin asked Jiang Wei's city guards to start patrolling, and Yan Shuai also helped and sent Chengdu officials and soldiers to help maintain law and order.
With the army patrolling the streets, those gentlemen have also restrained a lot.
However, another trouble has come to the table, that is, with the arrival of the major wealthy families participating in the auction in Chengdu, the inns and hotels in Chengdu have become overcrowded.
After all, this auction allows the price to be offset by goods, plus the various treasures provided by Liu Xin, you can see that the price is expensive at a glance, so the major families have organized a large fleet of vehicles, so there are many escorts and servants accompanying them.
However, this matter is easy to deal with, and Liu Xin hit Lezhi City in the idea.
Through Xia An's connections, Liu Xin successfully persuaded the homeless people in Lezhi City to vacate half of the city to park the convoy of the wealthy family, and let their guards and servants rest here.
However, in this way, there are many fewer minions under the sons of the gentlemen, and the frequency of fights and brawls has dropped by about fifty percent, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy.
However, Liu Xin also became interested in Lezhicheng.
Liu Xin and Huang Mei sent away another wave of guests, and it was already half past five in the afternoon, so they closed the door on the grounds that it was not early.
Liu Xin rubbed his somewhat stiff facial muscles, and couldn't help but complain: "I don't think I can make any other expressions except laughing now." ”
Huang Mei also replied with a wry smile: "It's not because of your reputation, these people want to make friends with you, but it's okay, the auction will start tomorrow, and we can finally relax for a day." ”
For tomorrow's auction, Liu Xin arranged for the first half to start at 10 a.m., rest at 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., and then start the second half of the auction from 2 to 5 p.m.
As for the host of the auction, it was naturally Su Jia, because after Liu Xin told Huang Mei and others about the rules of the auction, he saw that Huang Mei and the others seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and they knew that only Su Jia was capable of doing this job.
Liu Xin stretched his waist, and then said to Huang Mei: "Looking at it from a distance, you say it's good for us to rebuild Lezhi City?" ”
Huang Mei was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head helplessly, and said: "This matter may not work now, after all, Lezhicheng originally belonged to the county level, and I am only the Chengdu county order at the same level, not Shu County, so even if we rebuild Lezhi City, we will not be able to master Lezhicheng, and we will only let others pick peaches." ”
Liu Xin nodded, indicating that he understood this, "You're right, it's really not the time yet, but Lezhi City will definitely be in our pocket in the future, after the auction, I will arrange for the Lei family to rebuild the buildings in Lezhi City on the grounds of fulfilling the promise, and you can take care of it when the time comes, I estimate the time." ”
Liu Xin estimated the time, Emperor Ling should have known about his existence by now, so it was time for him to pack up and prepare to go to Luoyang.
Huang Mei thought of this, and understood what Liu Xin meant, nodded and said: "I understand, I believe that when the lord comes back from Luoyang, Lezhicheng will definitely take on a new look." ”
As soon as Liu Xin wanted to speak, Su Jia rushed in from outside the door, and said with a serious expression: "The big thing is not good, if nothing happens, there is a Ban Yu Man who is preparing to attack Chengdu!" ”
When Liu Xin heard this, he frowned and said, "How can this be, Su Jia, can you be sure?" ”
Liu Xin was still very concerned about the rebellion of Ban Yuman, so he asked Su Jia to send people to Ba County to pay attention to the movements of Ban Yuman.
In the past few days, the news from Ba County has shown that Ban Yuman is still sticking to the cottage and forming a stalemate with the suppression forces of Ba County.
Su Jia nodded affirmatively and said, "I'm ninety percent sure, and this is still a ghost made by Yi Yi!" ”
Liu Xin was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that Yi Yi gave advice to Ban Yuman, so that they could turn defense into offense and break through the encirclement of the Ba County official army?" ”
Su Jia nodded, and said: "That's true, today I got the news from Li Xu, saying that Xin Jian has ordered Li Xu to find a way to open the east gate of Chengdu in the middle of the night tomorrow, and then there is no need for Li Xu to care, hearing this news, I feel that this matter is by no means simple, sure enough, I just got the latest news from Ba County, three days ago, other barbarians around Ba County, suddenly responded to the Ban Yu Man, and the Ban Yu Man in the walled city inside and outside the attack, broke the Shu County official army, and then divided into three, one attack to attack Jiangzhou City, One is heading south, the trace is unknown, and the remaining group of about 5,000 people is coming to Chengdu. ”
Liu Xin gasped, he didn't expect this Yi Yi to dare to do such a crazy thing!
