Chapter 614 High-end and high-grade

Ma Chao has always been eager to have a counselor, a counselor like Zhuge Liang in the play.

Because if Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang encounter his situation, Liu Bei only needs to say, "It is really lamentable that such a good general has not been reused by the enemy. Sir, how can this good general be brought to me?

Mr. Zhuge Liang in the performance will smile, and then plan cleverly. Within a few days, he will fall at Liu Bei's feet.

But in fact, Ma Chao also knows that novels are always just novels. No matter how smart Zhuge Liang is, he can't be so brilliant. And his subordinates Jia Xu and Guo Jia will not be weaker than Zhuge Liang in terms of planning alone, but the two have only eight words for the proposal of subduing Zhao Yun: convince people with virtue, and the future will be long...

And Ma Chao came straight to receive the joint auction of the Ma family, the Guan family and the Li family. These days, Ma Chao has been paying attention to the resettlement of trucks and rollovers outside Chang'an City: the Mother River and Yellow River pass through Chang'an, and the amount of water has not dried up even in winter. Ma Chao felt that he should greatly alleviate the drought problem this spring by placing thousands of vehicles and overturning cars in advance and mobilizing tens of thousands of workers to drill wells to prepare for drought.

It was not until Liu Yue personally drove Ma Chao back from the farmland that Ma Chao suddenly thought that ten days had passed, and it was the day of joint auction with the two companies.

The date of the auction has been set for the 20th of the first month. The purpose is to bring the vision of the rich people in Yongliang, Sili, and Ji and other places to Chang'an when the New Year is not over and large families are free. And the effect is really as enthusiastic as the three families expected.

Rich families all over the country have shown great interest in knowing that the Ma family is going to hold an unprecedented auction of sacred objects. In particular, Liu Yue was also afraid that the world would use the role of the Propaganda Team of the Ceremonial Department, which made rumors spread all over the world. Some said that the Ma family wanted to auction the glass sculptures that had been paid to the emperor; some said that the Ma family auctioned rare treasures obtained from outside the Western Regions; others said that the Ma family's auction was false, and in essence, it was Let's see which rich family has such a rich family as the Ma family...

But in any case, the first shot in the first year of Xingping was fired by the Ma family: the scouts of the Ma family, everyone held a large pile of invitations in their hands, and the red invitation was written with gold powder. The dragon flying and phoenix dance was extraordinary and luxurious. He was sent to the hands of the rich people in Yongliang, Sili, Bingji, Saiwai and other places.

The location of the auction is the Longmen Inn, which was decided by Ma Chao very early. When it was mixed into Chang'an, the Longmen Inn was a landmark building in Chang'an. Now, after the Ma family took over, in order to cooperate with this joint auction, Ma Chao spent a lot of money on decoration and construction.

Ma Chao did not move at all in the restaurant hall in front of the Longmen Inn. After bringing down the rear house, Ma Chao asked the craftsmen to build a strange big house, and then found various craftsmen to decorate the house with dense chairs and number plates on the back. There are also many small rooms on the second floor, among which the best ones are built resplendently. The soft Persian carpet can almost bury the ankles. Many copper pipes with thick arms are laid in the room, which are used to circulate ice water in summer and can be connected to the coal stove in winter to become heating. It can definitely be called warm in winter and cool in summer, warm and pleasant. To sum up in a modern sentence, that is: high-end and elegant, low-key luxury with connotation, unrestrained and fashionable with depth, simple and fashionable international style...

Circular dome, echo wall design cloister, absolute ancient Roman design style. As long as you speak on the stage, the whole hall will hear it. The glass spotlight embedded in the wall only needs a few bright butter candles to illuminate the whole stage like daylight. When Ma Chao brought the auction host to get familiar with the scene, he asked proudly, "How's it going? Isn't it crazy and cool?"

Yu Pan's face turned red, and finally raised a thumb and replied to Ma Chao: "Awesome!"

Everything is ready except the east wind, and in winter, the most indispensable thing is the east wind. In the blink of an eye, the 20th of the first month came as promised. Ma Chaoduan sat in the most luxurious private room on the second floor in the hall, hugging the beautiful woman left and right, and saw a lot of people at the bottom. Among them, there are many of his familiar faces: Rigu Deji of Qingyi Qiang; Zhong Yuqiang of Baima Qiang; Duotamu and others of Huang Yangqiang. These people have long been from the hen that laid golden eggs in the Hanqiang Trading Institute and made a lot of money. Under extreme boredom, he is even willing to come to Chang'an to participate in this auction. It is really a typical example of a man becoming bad when he has money.

In addition, Yu Fro, the representative of the Xiongnu, came, and there was also a large group of noble leaders of other Xiongnu tribes that Ma Chao did not know. Finally, it was the messengers who still had a war of words with Ma Chao, as well as the rich people in the four states of the Han Dynasty. Ma Chao even heard that the Wei family in Hedong and the Zhen family in Jizhou also came. However, Hedong is not Ma Chao's rival Wei Zhongdao, and Zhen's family is not Zhen Mi... As a result, Ma Chao has no interest in these two families.

I was thinking about when I would be able to get through this year's disaster, so I stepped out of Sili and walked to Ma Chao, who was on the cusp of the storm. Suddenly, I felt that the lights in the hall dimmed, and the stage in the middle became bright. Yu Panxin walked to the center of the stage and was neither humble nor arrogant. Xinran said, "Today, with the first auction of Chang'an won the support of all the sages from all over the world. I waited for Thank you very much. I can only prepare some songs and dances. I hope it won't disappoint everyone. After saying that, Yu Pan did not show courtesy, showing the arrogance of the host of the Ma family and left freely.

Seeing this, Ma Chao nodded silently: Yu Pan, facing the scene of almost 1,000 people under the stage, did not even have a trace of trill in his tone, and was a usable talent. And Li Zihao and Guan Shanxue are not things in the pool... Presumably, these three will be powerful players of Ma's business in the future.

The song and dance performed on the stage is a heavyweight dance of Han Dynasty music and dance. According to the regulations of Zhou Li, the dance is divided into eight, six, four and two, which are performed when sacrificing the emperor, prince, doctor, etc. In history, only the emperor can enjoy the honor of the eight dances. The princes (kings) and the prime ministers can enjoy the six dances, while the Fengyi doctor can only enjoy the four dances.

Ma Chao is now a cavalry general with a golden seal and purple, with the honor of nine tins, so he can enjoy six dances. There are six people, divided into six rows and six columns, with a total of 36 people. When dancing, the dancer holds the pheasant tail feathers in his right hand and the left hand holds the pheasant, which has the meaning of standing and standing voice respectively. Each action represents a word and a group of movements in a piece of music. With the slow blend of light and music, the dancers have become used to the popularity in the hall and begin to fold their waists and sleeves to show their gentle and elegant dance posture.

Originally, arranging six dances was just a political need. Ma Chao was not very interested in ancient songs and dances. However, when his heart gradually integrated into the colorful and flying dance scene and clearly felt its freedom and elegance, he gradually felt a kind of old and solemnity. That kind of solemnity is by no means heavy, and Ma Chao feels that it is a vivid spiritual portrayal of his solid courage and strength. After the whole dance, Ma Chao was shocked by the cultural feeling that swept the world and included Yu.

And after this dance, the whole hall was so quiet that even a needle fell to the ground. Even those Qiang, Xiongnu and other aliens who didn't know anything were shocked by the surging culture of the Han people like a dream.

Ma Chao came to his senses first and looked at the reaction of those people under the hall. He couldn't help sneering and said, 'Yes, the effect has been achieved. It's time to harvest and slaughter wealth...'
