On the central auction table, there is a set of four-color glazed screens, six feet high and eight feet wide, painted with four patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects, the lines are lifelike, giving people a harmonious and quiet beauty, if placed in the study, or in the bedroom, it can definitely be regarded as the treasure of the town!

As soon as this set of exquisite screens appeared, it immediately pushed the madness to a climax, and the magnates did not give in to each other and competed for the first bid, and soon exceeded 10,000 gold, and no one thought that anyone would offer 15,000 gold, and the auction hall was instantly silent!

Fifteen thousand gold is a lot, but there is no shortage of rich people present, and the price is definitely higher, and the reason why no one has raised the price has nothing to do with money, all because of the shouts coming from the second floor.

Everyone knows in their hearts that there are people surnamed Xiao and Cao sitting on the second floor, this auction of glazed vessels, Da Sima is the one who sits behind the scenes, and he will definitely not participate in the bidding, and the one who makes the shot must be one of the sons of the Cao family, and everyone can't afford to mess with it?

The prime minister is old and weak, and the prince is imminent, and the three sons of Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi, who have the greatest opportunity, are all sitting in the private room on the second floor.

If you continue to raise the price, offend one of the sons, and this one happens to be the heir, the price raiser will be miserable in the future, it will be very miserable, although the glass screen is a treasure, but it is not as important as life, so everyone unanimously remained silent.

Next, the eight attendants carried the glass screen, slowly moved to the second floor, and entered the No. 2 private room on the west side, and then the sounds of exclamation, praise, and play sounded, and there seemed to be a lot of people inside......

"There is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian monopolizes eight buckets, but unfortunately in these eight buckets, there are literary talents, artistic talents, eloquence, and poetry talents...... But he doesn't have the talent of an emperor, he is destined to be desolate and happy all his life, and he made a wedding dress for others! ”

Others don't know the situation, but Xiao Yi is clear, sitting in the No. 2 private room on the west side, it is the fourth prince Cao Zhi, a guy who is outside the gold and jade, and is ruined!

Speaking from the heart, Cao Zhi wrote and opened his mouth, and often held banquets, made a large number of friends, and impressed many people with his demeanor, so that some people praised: 'The four sons are elegant and outstanding, and the virtuous and talented gentlemen under him, regardless of the young and the young, are willing to swim and die for it!'" ’

It's a pity that Cao Zhi is flashy, lacks some strategic skills, and has no clear understanding of this glass auction, and his self-control is even worse......

This grand auction is like a 'fishing game', the glazed utensils are the bait, the plan is the hook, the magnates and monks are the greedy swimming fish, and the Cao and Xiao families on the second floor are fishermen with long poles!

A good fisherman must be patient, quick to see and move, and to have strong control.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhi saw that the 'bait' was fat, and he didn't resist the temptation, and plunged into the water and competed with the swimming fish, which seemed majestic, but in fact it was extremely stupid:

The ancients had a saying: 'The Son of Heaven is rich in the four seas, and the concubines are billions of trillions, and the concubines are also slaves because of their texts'...... To put it simply, a good ruler will not compete with his subordinates for wealth and merit, because everything in the world belongs to me, so why fight?

Cao Cao did a good job of this, using wisdom to control the civil and military generals, let them charge into battle, make meritorious contributions, and control the overall situation and reward the meritorious civil and military personnel!

Cao Zhi disregarded his identity and competed with the powerful for glazed utensils, which was equivalent to turning from a fisherman on a boat to a fish swimming in the water, which shows that he does not have the heart of a king and cannot be a clever controller!

In addition, Cao Zhiguanbai-Xuchang Ling, Juefeng-Linzi Marquis, Yulu, and Shiyi are all added together, but only thousands of gold every year, and they have to eat, drink, wear, and support their customers, and they have always been unable to make ends meet!

Now that he has taken out 15,000 gold and auctioned a set of four-color glass screens, isn't it obvious to tell the world that Cao Sigongzi has extra income, either accepting bribes or bending the law for bribes!

Although Cao Cao has the power of the world, his life is very simple, and he has always eaten the same taste, does not live at a heavy table, and does not worship the altar in the room...... Try to save money to reduce the burden of the people, and we hate the things that corrupt and bend the law!

When the superior chooses the heir, most of them choose personality, hobbies, and wisdom...... The son who is most similar to himself is not only a kind of spiritual sustenance, but also to ensure that the governing strategy remains unchanged, in history, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the crown prince, an important reason is that 'the son is not like the father', the prince Liu is too weak, and the strong father is not the same kind of person at all!

Cao Cao is choosing an heir, he must have the same consideration, to find a son who is most like himself, but Cao Zhi spends thousands of dollars and spends extravagantly, if he is allowed to take the throne, what will become of the country's major politics?

Don't look at Cao Cao didn't come, but among the powerful people below, there must be a lot of eyeliner, and report what happened to 1510, I'm afraid that the auction is not over yet, and the traitor will receive the news...... The consequences can be imagined!

……………………………………………………………………

A total of thirty-six pieces of glaze were fired, half of the utensils and Buddha statues, Xiao Yi left a set of glazed cups, and gave his sons to listen to the sound and play, and gave a pair of 'five bats holding longevity glass bottles' to Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian as gifts.

The remaining sixteen pieces of glazed utensils were all bought by the magnates, and a total of more than 100,000 taels of gold (half of them borrowed loans from Wuwu Qianzhuang), which can be said to be a painful slaughter of fat sheep and blood!

Next, it's the turn of the great monks, Xiao Yi's ingenious layout, the focus is to suppress the forces of Buddhism, this time I don't scrape off the three layers of fat, I'm sorry for the hard work before!

A statue of Guanyin was lifted up, three feet high, the main body was snow-white, standing on the seven-colored lotus platform, holding a bottle in one hand to make a drain shape, and holding a green willow branch in the other, the face looked extremely compassionate, especially under the illumination of the light, as if the next moment was about to fly......

"Sprinkle and retreat the clear, nectar life, this is one of the thirty-three Guanyin in the West - Dripping Guanyin!"

"We are willing to pay two thousand gold in Fubo Temple, and we respectfully invite this dripping Guanyin, and I hope you want to let it!"

"Fuboke water, its name is unfavorable, let's give us Qinglong Temple, three thousand gold to welcome the Guanyin Dharma Body!"

"Amitabha, those who fight with the old man will go to hell - and I will drag you with him when I go to hell!"

……………………

Just bidding for the glazed vessels, the monks were hot-eyed, but because of the stakes, they didn't want to offend the court magnates, so they didn't participate in the competition.

I thought that the Buddhist monks and the four major were empty, even if they were bidding for heavy treasures, they should be reserved, but I didn't expect that on the contrary, once the monks went into battle shirtless, they were more fierce than ordinary people!

The first dripping Guanyin statue was auctioned for a high price of 5,000 gold!

A glass statue of the King of Fudo Ming was invited away by the temple with 7,000 gold!

A statue of the Buddha reclining in silence and nine-colored glazed is more than 10,000 gold!

……………………

The monks are completely crazy, constantly raising the price, only the Shenguang monk of Tianyi Temple, one person won three glazed Buddha statues, a total of more than 20,000 gold, dare not borrow, it can be seen that its financial resources are abundant!

Other temples have their own harvests, but it is the Tianyin Temple-Yijie monk, who has never participated in the shopping struggle, and occasionally shouted the price a few times, which is also to block the Shenguang monk, forcing him to pay a higher price, and the angry latter glared angrily, but he was helpless!

In fact, the monks also know that if they continue to fight like this, they will inevitably compete with each other and the fishermen will benefit, but there are two important reasons why they have to jump down with their eyes closed knowing that there is a pit in front of them......

First, the monks have been practicing all their lives, seeking to achieve positive results and get rid of the suffering of the six realms of reincarnation, these Buddha statues are exquisite, and they come from the Western glass world, contaminated with great blessings, which is equivalent to opening the key to the Pure Land of Bliss, and naturally they have to fight desperately!

Second, the power of Buddhism is malignantly expanded, the number of temples is increasing, in order to compete for believers, pilgrims, lamp oil money, the major temples are also fighting openly and secretly, if there is a glass Buddha statue in the town, the appeal will inevitably rise in a straight line, why worry about the money not rolling in?

"The monks are so rich, they often offer tens of thousands of gold, and they don't wrinkle their eyebrows, the old man is really ashamed!"

"No matter how much money the bald donkeys have, we haven't sent it to the door, incense money, lamp oil money, and ritual money...... Raise such a monster in the end! ”

"No matter how high the water rises, it doesn't matter if the boat goes, Dahan still has the final say...... I spit out what I ate, and give me back what I took! ”

………………

The monks spent their money like dirt, and they were very happy to fight, but the magnates who watched the battle were a little saved, but they didn't expect that the monks who were compassionate all day long would be like crazy demons when they competed for the treasure, where is their scriptures, where is their practice?

I didn't expect that Buddhism was hugely rich, and the financial resources were even higher than the magnates, and the large and small temples near Xuchang were originally funded by the magnates, and they continued to give money for lamp oil, but I didn't expect to put the cart before the horse!

This is like an old man of land, when he goes out for a walk every day, he will give a few pennies to the beggar at the entrance of the village, proving that his family is rich and charitable, and he has won the praise of the whole village, and the beggar also continues to bow and worship!

But suddenly one day, the old rich man was surprised to find that the broken tray used by the beggar was actually made of purple gold, which was worth more than all his own property, and after the beggar got the alms, he was even more rich in fish and meat, spending all day and drinking all day, and living a small life more comfortable than himself!

As a result, the previous philanthropy has become a foolish and easy to deceive, and the praise of the villagers has also become a great mockery, the mood of the old rich man can be imagined, and the court magnates present play the role of the old rich man!

The more fierce the competition among the monks, the more gold they took out, the higher the dissatisfaction of the magnates, which then turned into monstrous anger, and finally a strong murderous intent...... Whoever dares to play me like a fool, I will let whoever has his head fall to the ground!
