A transparent fish-patterned pen wash, worth 6,000 taels of gold!

A gold-painted tiger stripe glass plate, worth 8,000 taels of gold!

A pair of colorful glass vases are auctioned at a sky-high price of 10,000 taels of gold!

………………

In the face of more exquisite glass vessels, the magnates are completely crazy, money has become a number, gold is treated as dung, as long as they can bid for it, they are willing to go bankrupt!

Because of the lack of financial resources, the magnates have borrowed one after another, thousands of taels of gold are just a small meaning, and there are many people in tens of thousands of taels, Liang Xiaoyu responds to his needs, as long as he makes a contract and presses it, no one dares to repay the account anyway!

The magnates are also not afraid, the debts are slowly repaid, and they can't pay it back, so they sell the glass utensils in their hands, there are more rich people in the world, and the good baby can't be sold, and then not only can it be repaid, but also the profit is profitable!

In fact, the price is so high, in addition to the exquisite glass utensils and the rarity of things, there is another important reason, that is, among the guests seated, there is a 'trust' arranged by Xiao Yi! ’

Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Zhang He...... Many Xiao generals have secretly received notices not to participate in the competition of glazed ware, so when someone shouts the price, they also follow the coaxing, constantly raising the price!

I feel that the price is about the same, Liang Xiaoyu on the stage will send out a code, and a few people will stop bidding, and the big pit that has been dug will naturally let others jump...... Many powerful people have lost their wealth for it, which is really painful and happy!

Someone must ask, these exquisite glass utensils are all brought back from Tianzhu by Wu Zhen, the magnates are rich and people, why not organize a long-distance caravan, go to Tianzhu and turn around, why bother so hard?

The reason is also very simple, the glass is found in a cave, this kind of good thing can be met but not sought, even if you send someone to Tianzhu again, you may not be able to find the glass, such a beautiful work of art, by no means those savages burned, but another source......

There are a lot of monks sitting there, and they have discussed with each other in private, thinking that Wu Zhen must have a great opportunity, and the mysterious cave he strayed into is likely to be the glass world of Buddhism, and the Buddhist scriptures record: 'There is a Medicine Buddha in the West, living in the Pure Land of Bliss, spotless, full of glass! ’

The Pure Land of Bliss of Buddhism is only open to those who are destined, even if you send someone to Tianzhu Kingdom, you may not be able to enter the glass world, even if you find the glass world, you may not be able to enter, even if you are lucky to enter, you may not come back!

It is better to concentrate all the financial resources and take down the glazed ware in front of you as a family heirloom, which is called 'a thousand sheep in sight, not as a rabbit in hand!' ’

"Agriculture, the foundation of the world, gold and jade, hungry and cold, can not be eaten, cold can not be clothed, which makes the county state persuade farmers to mulberry and plant trees, and can get food and clothing......"

"A few of you firmly remember that people are the masters of money, and you can't be slaves who keep money, if you don't have clothes and food, even if you guard the mountains of gold and silver, you will starve to death!"

"No--follow my father's teachings!"

………………

In the private room on the second floor, Xiao Yi pointed to the crazy crowd, educating Xiao Xuan, Xiao Yao, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Huang's sons not to be confused by gold, silver and jewelry, money is just a tool, and if you gather it, you will come and go!

In order to impress his sons, Xiao Yi deliberately left a set of glass cups, so that his sons could break one with their own hands, if a man wants to achieve great things, in addition to being wise and martial, smart and wise, he must also regard money as dung, and misers are always small people!

"Smack! --Syllable! Syllable! ”

The glass cup worth 10,000 gold was broken into pieces in an instant, and the children stepped on a few more feet to show that they would never be slaves to money.

There is no woman who doesn't love jewelry, and in the face of exquisite glass jewelry, Cao Jie, Zhen Mi, and Cai Wenji are also excited, but in this environment, they are not easy to speak!

However, as pillow people, they know that these glazed utensils are not from Tianzhu at all, and they have nothing to do with Wu Qian, but the husband went to Zhengming Academy, and then 'changed' out, as for how to change it, they also asked Deng Ai, Hao Zhao and others, but they were tight-lipped one by one!

It doesn't matter, as long as you know that these treasures are conjured up by your husband, since you can change it for the first time, you can change it for the second time, as long as the sisters work together, don't worry about your husband's disobedience, otherwise go to the study to sleep!

Xiao Yi naturally didn't expect that he was going to 'catch fire in the backyard', in fact, making up such a big formation, making up stories, and arranging auctions, not only for the purpose of looting money, but also for an important reason - the war situation in the Western Regions is unstable!

When Xiliang was pacified, seeing that Ma Chao was as brave as a tiger and unruly, Xiao Yi was afraid that something would happen in the future, so he asked him to lead the Xiliang generals to expedition to the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and took his father Ma Teng to Xuchang and gave it to the high-ranking officials Houlu for containment!

Ma Chao is not a tiger general in the world, he triumphed all the way on the way to the west, killed the corpses of all countries in the Western Regions, and the blood flowed like rivers, and successively broke Wusun, Qiuzi, Yanqi, Ruoqiang, Loulan, Jimo, Xiaowan...... More than a dozen countries have greatly increased the prestige of the Han family, and a lot of loot has been shipped back!

However, there are 36 countries in the Western Regions, with tens of thousands of miles of land and millions of people, and Ma Chao only has tens of thousands of horses and horses, occupying more than a dozen important cities, but he cannot carry out comprehensive conquest, let alone establish effective rule!

And after many defeats, the people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions have also learned to be smart, they dare not confront Ma Chao head-on, so they use the vast space to start a guerrilla war with the Han army, touch a sentry today, kill two rangers tomorrow, and slowly wear down the strength of the Han army!

Ma Chao has the courage and no strategy, and there is nothing he can do about it, and the army has traveled thousands of miles, there is no rear, no soldiers, one less soldier dies, and the strength is constantly weakened, so that after six or seven years of fighting, it has not been able to fight west of the Green Ridge!

A few years ago, Ma Chaolian sent three envoys, all of whom asked Xiao Yi for reinforcements, and this tiger general said softly, if there is no military support, he will not be able to stand in the Western Regions, which shows how dangerous the situation is!

The problem is that it is not an easy task to go on an expedition of thousands of miles in a foreign land, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fought a Dawan country, he successively sent more than 200,000 troops, and used the strength of the whole country to transport military rations, which lasted for four years...... Only then did he take advantage of the civil strife in Dawan and took the Second Division City by luck! (Dawan Capital)

Now we have to face the entire 36 countries of the Western Regions, the enemy's strength is stronger, the route of the expedition is farther, and how many troops, horses, and ordnance are needed...... And logistical supplies?

The southern expedition failed, Cao's battalion lost troops, the treasury was depleted, the people were even more exhausted, and there were civil uprisings in many places.

But if you don't send reinforcements, Ma Chao and others will be defeated, not to mention that the results of the war in the past few years will be ruined, the countries in the Western Regions will follow and kill, Xiliang, Longyou, and Hetao will be affected, and the western frontier of the Han Dynasty will be unstable, which will be even more unfavorable to the country!

After weighing it repeatedly, Xiao Yi believed that the reinforcements must be sent out, and it would not cost the country's strength, so it was best to let the people sign up on their own and raise ordnance, food and grass by themselves, that is, to form a volunteer army!

Wu Zhen is a role model, a person travels thousands of miles alone, travels to foreign countries, brings back exquisite treasures, in exchange for countless gold and silver treasures, once this matter spreads out, the world will inevitably vibrate!

People die for money, birds die for food, in order to get gold, silver and jewelry, there are not a few people who dare to play with their lives, what is lacking is only a direction, a successful example, especially those robbers, bullies, and lone rangers...... Hehe, why worry about not having soldiers!

The people of the Central Plains have changed everywhere, in addition to the continuous wars and the overwhelmed people, these 'bad people' fan the wind and take the lead in making trouble is also one of the reasons, because only when the world is in chaos, they can take advantage of the situation to rise, and if it succeeds, it will be the second of Han Gaozu, and if it doesn't work, it will be Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, which is much better than enduring poverty and old age and dying in the wilderness, right?

For these 'bad people', it is useless to suppress them by force, one is that they are scattered in all directions, hiding in the wilderness, even if the officials and soldiers lay a net of heaven and earth, it is impossible to catch them cleanly, but waste their strength in vain!

Second, even if you catch it, it's useless, the strong are like weeds, poverty and ambition are the soil for survival, cut off a batch of old ones, grow a batch of new ones, there will never be an end!

Since they can't be suppressed, it is better to take advantage of the situation and form them into an army to support Ma Chao, who is fighting alone, to expand the territory of the country, and to seek wealth for himself - if he succeeds, he will be a hero, and if he dies, he will be a ghost!

In this way, the reinforcements of the Western Expedition are available, the domestic unstable factors are gone, and the 36 countries in the Western Regions can be leveled, and a large amount of spoils of war can be obtained, and the attention of the people can be diverted......

"Eighteen thousand taels of gold, this set of flowers, birds, fish and insects, four-color glass screens, this son is going to decide!"

"Who is it that has such a big deal...... It seems to be a guest in a private room on the second floor! ”

…………

Thinking of the smugness, Xiao Yi was about to laugh, but was interrupted by a discordant voice...... "Cao Zijian, there is not enough success, and there are more failures!" ”
