Chapter 142 Cao Cao pits Yuan Shao
Zhang Rang, who was helped to the high platform, cleared his sharp voice and said to the young master of the aristocratic family present:
"The third round of auctions are all important positions chosen by the emperor, so this round of auctions is hosted by our family.
Those who can win this round of auction will be the pillars of the great man in the future.
Without further ado, the auction begins!
The first official position, the counselor, starts at 10 million yuan, and now the auction starts!"
The auction process is indeed the same as before, and bad official positions are sold first.
The counselors were just civil servants who planned for the emperor and did not have much real power. The princes of these aristocratic families obviously had no interest in this position.
There was only one young man from aristocratic family who had not taken a good position in the second round before, and he had a short sale.
After the official position was completed, Zhang Rang continued to speak:
"Now you start bidding for your second position, Shaofucheng, starting at 20 million yuan, and you start bidding!"
The Shaofu is mainly responsible for the emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and also involves managing the royal family's money.
The official position is obviously much higher than the advisor just now. Although the starting price is a little higher, several young men still participated in the competition and finally sold for 30 million yuan.
After selling a few more official positions that were a little bit rich, Zhang Rang finally took out a relatively heavy official position:
"The ninth official position will be auctioned, General Zhe Chong, with a starting price of 30 million yuan, and the auction will be started!"
General Zhe Chong is a miscellaneous general of the Han Dynasty. Although he does not have much real power, he has a good reputation. It is still very good to buy it and show off.
As soon as this official position was released, the scene suddenly became lively.
The young masters of the aristocratic families began to actively participate in the auction, and soon the Central Army sold the high price of 37 million yuan. At this time, the number of people holding the bid was significantly reduced, and this official position was basically worth so much money.
Yuan Shu raised the sign directly and said, "Fifty million yuan!"
As soon as the price was released, no one on the field competed with him.
Spend 50 million yuan to buy a general who has no real power, and this is the way to get the door clamped.
I can't recover the cost at all.
Only a prodigal son like Yuan Shu can do this.
Although Yuan Shu took the position of this official position, he was only photographed by his generals, and he would not be a general Zhe Chong at all.
All he was thinking about was the "big fat" that Zuo Feng said before.
Then Yuan Shu captured four miscellaneous generals, all of which were sold for 50 million yuan.
All the children of aristocratic families present had seen what it means to be stupid and have a lot of money. 250 million yuan spent so much, without blinking.
"The No. 1 Prodigal Son in Luoyang" has made hundreds of millions of money in Xiyuan, and will soon become a topic that the people of Luoyang are talking about.
Wei Kai frowned and said to Yuan Shao beside him:
"Brother Benchu, your younger brother, I don't understand what you have done by taking so many miscellaneous generals."
Just now when Yuan Shu bought the "General Zhe Chong", Wei Kai thought that Yuan Shu wanted to give him a military position on the basis of his original Nanyang prefect, which was very consistent with Yuan Shu's character of prodigal son.
For this reason, he secretly despised Yuan Shu in his heart.
But now this guy took photos of five miscellaneous generals in one go, which made Wei Kai very confused. It was impossible for him to register five positions alone.
Yuan Shao sneered disdainfully when he heard this:
"My good brother has a lot of slaves as minions, and these generals should have bought the positions of these slaves."
Seeing Yuan Shao disagreed, Wei Kai's heart sank.
Although Yuan Shu looks like a bastard on the outside, he is actually very smart.
Since Wei Kai dealt with Yuan Shu, he has never suffered any losses.
Will such a scheming person buy miscellaneous generals for his slaves?
I'm afraid it's unlikely.
Then the greatest possibility is that there are at least five talents under Yuan Shu who are competent for generals.
This was so terrible. Wei Kai clenched his fists and felt a deep sense of crisis.
"The next auction position is 'Central Army Captain', with a starting price of 50 million yuan! Now the auction starts!"
After so long the third round began, a real military post finally appeared.
The Central Military Academy Captain has quite a lot of power and can control some of the troops in Luoyang.
If this official position goes further, it is the Sili School Captain. This position controls the Sili army and is not a close minister of the emperor.
It can be said that this position is the most attractive of all the official positions released.
Cao Cao said to Yuan Shu with some envy:
"Central Army Captain, if I didn't want to go to a local position, I must bid for this position!"
Yuan Shu said to Cao Cao with a smile:
"Brother Meng De, even if you want to work in a place, you can still try bidding."
Cao Cao said in confusion: "Brother Gaolu, what does this mean?"
Yuan Shu took a sip of the good tea on the table and said comfortably:
"Of course some people want to shoot, so let's add some difficulty to him."
In Yuan Shu's impression, Yuan Shao became the captain of the Central Army after his tenure in the General's Mansion.
Therefore, he was sure that this was the position that Yuan Shao wanted to bid for.
Yuan Shu thought to himself that since you have harmed me together, don’t blame me for collecting some interest first.
Cao Cao was so smart that he understood what Yuan Shu wanted to do directly.
He smiled at Yuan Shu with a wretched smile and said:
"Brother Highway, you've become bad, but this move has won my heart, hehehe."
As Yuan Shu expected, Yuan Shu started a crazy competition with the children of other aristocratic families for the position of "Central Military Captain", causing the price of this official position to soar to 70 million yuan.
Seeing that no one continued to bid, Zhang Rang said:
"Seventy million yuan, is there anyone else going to offer it?
If no one bids, our family will announce Mr. Yuan Benchu..."
"I will pay 71 million yuan!" Just as Zhang Rang was about to announce the ownership of the "Central Army Captain", Cao Cao raised the sign and said.
Yuan Shao's face turned pale when he thought the dust had settled. Why did Cao Mengde come out to compete with him at this time?!
But now it's an auction, and he can't do anything if he bids for it.
He glared at Cao Cao fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "I will pay 75 million yuan!"
"I'll pay 76 million yuan!" Cao Cao said immediately afterwards.
At this time, Yuan Shao's heart was bleeding, and Cao Mengde's light words doubled the difficulty of bidding.
However, the official position of "Central Military Captain" is related to his future, and he is bound to win, so he can only say with a sharp tongue:
"I'll pay 80 million!"
"I will pay 81 million yuan!" Cao Cao continued to bid calmly.
Anyway, Yuan Shu had just told him that it wouldn't matter if Yuan Shao gave up the bidding, he would pay the money.
Since there is a financial backer, what else can Cao Cao hesitate about?
Just beating Yuan Shao is over.
Yuan Shao could no longer bear it, and roared at Cao Cao with a blushing face:
"Cao Mengde, what do you want to do?"
Cao Cao spread his hands at him and smiled:
"Of course it's an auction. Who stipulates that you, Yuan Benchu, can be the military captain?"
