When he heard that the Hedong Wei family had bid 200 million yuan, Cao Cao turned around and looked at Yuan Shao. In Cao Cao's heart, he believed that 200 million yuan was beyond the value of this halberd-wielding general and was not worth it.
When he wanted to tell Yuan Shao to give up, Yuan Shao was the first to say: "Brother Meng De, just increase the price. Although I, Yuan Benchu, am not a benevolent and righteous gentleman."
"But I will still abide by the basic integrity. This not only represents my personal credibility, Yuan Benchu, but also represents the reputation of my Yuan family."
"A small Hedong Wei family will not make me, Yuan Benchu, shrink back."
Perhaps, even Cao Cao himself did not expect Yuan Shao to have such courage. He changed his views on him one after another, but when he turned around and thought, he had Yuan Shao's affirmative support, so naturally there was no need to be afraid of the Hedong Wei family.
So he immediately said loudly: "I will become a monk with 250 million yuan."
This made Zhang Rang, who had already wanted to make a deal, immediately became happy. He didn't expect that Cao Mengde actually had enough capital to compete, but he glanced at Yuan Shao next to him.
I thought: It seems that I borrowed the money from the Yuan family, otherwise how could I continue bidding.
Moreover, even the Hedong Wei family was shocked by Cao Cao's courage. They didn't expect that this little man would dare to continue bidding with them.
As for the businessmen, they simply didn't understand why the two forces were competing so fiercely for this unprofitable position.
But it didn't hinder their discussion at all. After all, the Hedong Wei family was also famous. Compared to this, they were more concerned about competing with the Hedong Wei family for the origin of this little man.
The Hedong Wei family continued to bid: "Our Hedong Wei family bids 300 million yuan. If this brother is not convinced, we will just compete."
Yuan Shu: The Wei family in Hedong? A sick man seemed to have married Zhaoji's sister in history, but later the Wei family was wiped out by the Yellow Turbans.
Sister Zhaoji was sold to the Huns, and was later rescued by Cao Cao.
When Yuan Shu thought of Cai Yan who followed him like a road brother when he was studying, he thought of these past memories and didn't want Cai Yan to experience these things again.
Moreover, Cao Cao later married a guy in his twenties. Thinking of all these, Yuan Shu felt a little irritable inside.
I didn't expect that I would forget these important things. If I hadn't seen the Wei family at the auction today, I might have forgotten this matter.
At the auction, Cao Cao dismissed the Wei family's 300 million yuan. Because Yuan Shao was supporting him in bidding, he didn't think he would lose.
But just when he was about to start bidding again, Yuan Shao also intercepted him and said: "Meng De, there is no need to bid like this with him."
"What a waste of your time."
Before Yuan Shao finished speaking, Cao Cao was about to return because of Yuan Shao. But he didn't show anything, after all, this is human nature. After all, a small halberd-wielding general is really not worth 300 million yuan, so he also understands Yuan Shao's thoughts.
However, when Cao Cao thought that Yuan Shao was giving up, Yuan Shao continued: "Let's just ask for 500 million yuan. Hedong County is so far away from Luoyang."
"Presumably the position they are interested in is definitely not a small halberd-wielding general, so they will not waste too much money on this position."
Yuan Shao's words completely shocked Cao Cao. But Cao Cao immediately came back to his senses and said: "I will make a direct debut with 500 million yuan. I wonder if the Wei family will continue to follow?"
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he looked at the Wei family and smiled mockingly, which was extremely provocative.
But the fact is exactly what Yuan Shao thought. The Wei family came here this time to bid for the position of prefect. So I won’t spend too much money competing for these positions, so I can only give up.
And they didn't expect that there would be such a person. They were willing to spend 500 million yuan to bid for the position of a halberd-wielding general. It was just a small seventh-grade commander. In their opinion, it was not worth so much money.
So I had to give up.
To be honest, even Zhang Rang himself did not expect that the official position of a small seventh-grade halberd-wielding general would bring so much benefit.
He originally thought that it would be good to have 200 million yuan. But he didn't expect the result to be beyond his expectation. Maybe the big man could really come back to life.
However, I don’t know if His Majesty can hold on until that time.
Zhang Rang: "In that case, the position of the seventh-grade halberd-wielding general will be auctioned by Cao Cao, the former Sili captain."
"The next bidder is..."
Yuan Shu ignored their noise and bustle, just thinking about how to explain this matter to his wife when he returned home.
After all, when Feng Yuan was willing to marry him, Yuan Shu was just a withered bone in a grave in the eyes of outsiders. Not only does everything cost the family, but he also listens to music all day long. Although I don't care about all this, it is still a bad influence.
But Feng Yuan has never disliked herself. She even said something sincere to herself on their wedding night.
It was precisely because of this that he was so kind to Feng Yuan. And in these years, except for some very important things, the rest of the time has almost revolved around Feng Yuan.
This also made his eldest brother scold him for this and indulge in the gentle land.
But what I want to confirm now is whether Cai Yan is married now. Hope it's not too late.
Yuan Shu asked the system in his mind: "System, help me find out if Cai Yan is married now."
System: "Okay, one hundred gold."
The cold voice of the system came, and Yuan Shu could only let him do it himself. After Yuan Shu watched a hundred gold disappear from his system interface, an answer appeared in front of him: "Based on time and actual inspection of the system, there is still half a year before Cai Yan marries Wei Zhongdao."
"And it was exactly half a year ago that Cai Yan was betrothed by Cai Yong to Wei Zhongdao of the Wei family in Hedong."
"Exactly the same as in the host's original history, Wei Zhongdao in this time and space is still a sick man. Cai Yan's marriage was just for happiness, but according to the progress of parallel time and space in history and the present, Wei Zhongdao half a year after Cai Yan's marriage Just die.”
"Two years later, the Wei family was massacred by the remaining Yellow Turban remnants. The women and jewelry were sold to the Xiongnu."
After the system's voice finished speaking, Yuan Shu's extremely anxious heart calmed down. At least there was still time for him to prepare, and Yuan Shu himself was not a man of faith.
At this time, Zhang Rang has auctioned off most of his official positions. Now there are only three positions of governor and one position of Nanyang governor.
However, the position of Nanyang Prefectural Shepherd had been reserved by Yuan Shu himself. Everyone present was just going through a formality with him, and Zhang Rang himself knew this.
After all, he alone took nearly 60% of the money Yuan Shu used for operation. But the rest is still a huge wealth if divided into other people's hands.
Zhang Rang looked at the people below and said: "The next positions to be auctioned are the positions of the three governors, namely the position of the governor of Zhuo County, the position of the governor of Hedong County, and the position of the governor of Jizhou."
"You can bid on your own, but the starting price for each position of the prefect is 2.5 billion yuan, and each increase in price must not be less than 100 million yuan."
After Zhang Rang finished speaking, the people below immediately started talking. Some merchants even gave up directly. After all, they could afford the money, but they were reluctant to cut their own flesh.
Unless they are willing to abandon a large amount of their property, spending so much money at once would be taxing for any chamber of commerce.
Cao Cao said to Yuan Shao: "Brother Benchu, I didn't know which position you were interested in."
"Will it be the same position as Brother Gu's? If so, will you continue to bid at Benchu?"
I have to say that Cao Cao's words are like a test of the soul. As for this question, Yuan Shao himself had no way to answer it. After all, he didn't know.
After all, if two people really like the same position, according to reason and status, even if the current Yuan Shu introduces Yuan Shao in white, he is not qualified to compete with Yuan Shao.
This is the advantage and status of the legitimate son.
Yuan Shao: "I think my second brother may not bid with me."
Yuan Shao can say this because Yuan Shu fully supports him at home, so there is no need for him to worry about this.
At this time, people from the Wei family in Hedong bid: "For the position of the governor of Hedong, our Wei family bids three billion."
All of a sudden, it was three billion dollars, and most of these businessmen felt that they had no hope. But there were also some businessmen who didn't know how to unite and said, "We will pay 3.2 billion for the position of the governor of Hedong."
At this time, Wen Nu, who had been silent at the venue, also made an offer: "I, Wen Nu, bid three billion for the position of the prefect of Zhuojun."
Not long before he left, his position as governor of Zhuojun was revoked.
That's why it appears here. I have to say that under the rule of such a court, this is really sad.
Yuan Shao was also unwilling to be outdone and said: "For the position of Jizhou Prefect, I, Yuan Benchu, have offered 3.5 billion. I don't know who else wants to bid."
"Does anyone else want to bid?"
Zhang Rang really didn't expect that the Yuan family would suddenly pay 3 billion to buy the position of Jizhou prefect.
Even Cao Cao couldn't help but envy Yuan Shao's courage and charisma at this time.
You don't need to think about it to know that Yuan Benchu's name will ring in the ears of every scholar and nobleman after today.
