Chapter 606

Ma Chao has always longed for a counselor, a counselor like Zhuge Liang in the novel.

Because if Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang encountered him in this situation, Liu Bei would only have to say: "It is a pity that such a good general has not been reused by the enemy. Sir, how can I make this good general submit to me?"

Mr. Zhuge Liang in the novel would smile by chance, and then make clever plans, and within a few days, he would fall at Liu Bei's feet.

But in fact, Ma Chao also knows that a novel is always just a novel.No matter how clever Zhuge Liang was, he couldn't be so brilliant.And his subordinates, Jia Xu and Guo Jia, are not weaker than Zhuge Liang in terms of planning and planning alone. But for the matter of subduing Zhao Yun, the two of them gave only eight words of advice: Convince others with virtue, There is ample time……

As for Ma Chao's coming day, he directly received the joint auction day of the Ma family, the Guan family, and the Li family.These days, Ma Chao has been paying attention to the resettlement of bobbin carts and overturned carts outside Chang'an City: the mother river, the Yellow River, flows through Chang'an, and even in winter, the amount of water has not dried up much.Ma Chao felt that he could greatly alleviate the drought problem this spring by arranging the thousands of bobbin trucks and overturning trucks in advance, and mobilizing tens of thousands of laborers to dig wells to prepare for the drought.

It wasn't until Liu Yue personally drove Ma Chao back from the farmland that Ma Chao suddenly realized that ten days had passed, and it was time for the joint auction with the two families.

The date of the auction has been confirmed by the three families as the [-]th day of the first lunar month. The purpose is to attract the attention of rich and famous families in Yongliang, Sili, and Bingji, etc. Chang'an.And the effect was as expected by the three families, and the response was enthusiastic.

Knowing that the Ma family, which is in full swing, is going to hold an unprecedented auction of sacred relics, wealthy families from all over the world have shown great interest.In particular, Liu Yue feared that the publicity team of the Ministry of Rites would use the role of the propaganda team of the Ministry of Rites, causing rumors to spread everywhere in Sili. Rare treasures obtained from outside the Western Regions; others said that the Ma family's auction is fake, in essence, it is to let the rich and powerful in the world see which wealthy family is as rich as his Ma family one side...

But no matter how you say it, the first shot in the first year of Xingping was fired by the Ma family: the scouts of the Ma family army held a large stack of invitations in their hands, and the red invitations were written with words written in gold powder. Extraordinary, luxurious to the extreme.The scouts held the big red Majiaxi flag and sent it to the rich and famous families in Yongliang, Sili, Bingji, and outside the Great Wall in eight hundred miles.

The location of the auction is the Longmen Inn that Ma Chao had decided on a long time ago. When he entered Chang'an, the Longmen Inn was a famous and iconic building in Chang'an. It cost a lot of money to renovate.

Regarding the restaurant lobby in front of the Longmen Inn, Ma Chao did not move at all.After demolishing the rear courtyard, Ma Chao asked the craftsmen to build a strange big house, and then recruited various craftsmen to decorate the house, and placed densely packed chairs inside, and the number plates were pasted on the back of the chairs. .There are many small rooms above the second floor, among which the best ones are resplendent and resplendent. The soft Persian carpet can almost bury the ankles. There are many copper pipes as thick as arms in the room. It is used to circulate ice water in summer, and can be connected to a coal stove for heating in winter.It can definitely be called warm in winter and cool in summer, warm and pleasant.To use a modern summary, that is: high-end atmosphere and high-grade, low-key luxury with connotation, unrestrained foreign style with depth, simple and fashionable international style...

The circular dome, the cloister designed by the echoing wall, the absolute ancient Roman design style.Whenever you speak on stage, the whole hall hears it.The glass spotlights embedded in the walls only need a few bright tallow candles to illuminate the entire stage as if it were daytime.When Ma Chao brought the auction host Yu Pan to familiarize himself with the scene, he asked proudly: "How is it? Isn't it crazy, cool and crazy?"

And Yu Pan's face was flushed, and finally raised a thumb and replied to Ma Chao: "Great!"

Everything is ready, only the east wind is needed, and in winter, the most indispensable thing is the east wind.In the blink of an eye, the [-]th day of the first lunar month arrived as promised.Ma Chao sat in the most luxurious private room on the second floor in the hall, hugging the beautiful beauties on the left and right, and saw that there were quite a lot of people coming down.Among them, there are many familiar faces: Rigu Deji from the Qingyi Qiang; Zhong Yuqiang from the Baima Qiang; Dotamu from the Huangyang Qiang and others.These people have long been derived from the hen that laid golden eggs in the Han and Qiang Trade Exchange, and have made a lot of money.Being extremely bored, he was willing to come to Chang'an to participate in this auction. This is really a typical example of a man who has money and then turns bad.

In addition, Yu Fuluo, the representative of the Xiongnu, came, and there was a large group of noble leaders of other tribes of the Huns who Ma Chao didn't know.Finally, there are those envoys who are still fighting with Ma Chao, as well as the rich and famous families in the four states of Han Dynasty.Ma Chao even heard that the Wei family from Hedong and the Zhen family from Jizhou had also come.It's just that the one from Hedong is not Ma Chao's love rival Wei Zhongdao, and the one from the Zhen family is not the famous Zhen Mi... As a result, Ma Chao has no interest in these two families.

Ma Chao, who was thinking about when he would be able to survive this year's disaster, thus stepping out of the shackles of the official, and walking towards the top of the pack.Suddenly, he felt that the lights in the hall dimmed, and the stage in the middle suddenly became brighter. Yu Pan walked to the center of the stage, behaved neither humble nor overbearing, and said confidently: "Today was planned by General Han Huanqi, The first auction in Chang’an was supported by all the sages from all corners of the country, and I am very grateful here, but I have prepared some songs and dances, and I hope everyone will not be disappointed." After speaking, Yu Pan did not salute, showing his gratitude to everyone. The arrogance of the Ma family as the hosts left casually.

Seeing this, Ma Chao nodded silently: This Yu Pan, facing the scene of almost 1000 people in the audience, did not even have a tremor in his tone, he is a usable talent.And Li Zihao and Guan Shanxue are not things in the pool... Presumably, these three people will be the capable leaders of the Ma family's business in the future.

The singing and dancing performed on the stage is the heavyweight dance of Han Dynasty music and dance.According to the regulations of Zhou rituals, there are eight yi dances, six yi dances, four yi dances, and two yi dances, which are performed when offering sacrifices to the emperor, princes, and doctors.In history, only the Son of Heaven can enjoy the honor of Bayi Dance.The princes (kings) and the prime ministers of the country can enjoy the Liuyi dance, but the feudal officials can only enjoy the Siyi dance.

Ma Chao is now a Hussar General with a gold seal and purple ribbon, and he has been awarded the honor of Jiuxi, so he can enjoy Liuyi Dance.There are six people in Liuyi dance, divided into six rows and six columns, a total of 36 people. When dancing, the dancers hold the pheasant tail feathers in their right hands and the 龠 in their left hands, which respectively mean standing up and standing up.Each action represents a word, a section of music and a set of actions.With the slow integration of light and music, the dancers have become accustomed to the popularity in the hall, and began to bend their waists and dance their sleeves to show their soft and elegant dancing posture.

Originally, arranging Liuyi Dance was just a political need.And Ma Chao is not very interested in ancient singing and dancing.However, when his heart gradually melted into the colorful dance scene with flying expressions, and he clearly felt its free and easy elegance, he gradually felt a kind of simple and dignified.That kind of solemnity is by no means heavy, Ma Chao thinks, it is a vivid spiritual portrayal of his solid courage and strength.After the whole dance, it gave Ma Chao a cultural impression that swept the world and included Ju Yunei, which shocked him very much.

And after this dance, the whole hall was so quiet that even a needle dropped on the ground could be heard. Even the Qiang, Xiongnu and other foreign races who didn't understand anything were shocked by the surging culture of the Han people like a dream. .

Ma Chao was the first to come back to his senses. Looking at the reactions of those people in the hall, he couldn't help snickering in his heart: "Yes, the effect has been achieved, and it's time to reap the wealth of slaughter..."
