Chapter 14: Authentic Eastern Han Ceramics
After coming out of the game cabin, Qin Mo logged into the official website and posted a message under his real name.
"I am Qin Mo. By chance, I was appointed as the deputy general of the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou. I have now formed a team of 500 personal soldiers with complete weapons and armor, but I am lacking a general to lead the troops. I am now recruiting 50 squad leaders, 10 dubos, and 5 generals. Those who are interested please rush to Fanyang County, Zhuo County, Youzhou within three days. No one will be accepted after the deadline . Note: The minimum requirement is the leather training period."
According to the tribal organization of the Han army, a squadron consists of five people with a squad leader; a ten-man team consists of two squads with a squad leader; a platoon consists of five ten-men with a captain ; a garrison consists of two platoons with a commander; and a group consists of five garrisons with a group leader.
Each part has two songs and has a general.
Above the ministry is the army, which has generals of various titles but no fixed structure.
Qin Mo had only appointed sergeants before because he was targeting the players and was preparing to recruit heroes from all over the world to enrich the team and truly improve the combat effectiveness of the personal guard camp.
The conditions he offers should be very attractive.
After all, apart from him, the highest-ranking player among the players, Du Shihao, was only a qu leader.
…
After posting, Qin Mo went to school.
He had little time, but the posts he made quickly went viral online, sparking heated discussions.
Because of a conversation with Du Shihao near the Luoyang teleportation array, Qin Mo, who was originally a little-known person, has become somewhat famous in "Honghuang".
Players' first impression of him is arrogance.
Everyone originally thought that Qin Mo said he wanted to join the Yellow Turban Army just to fool Du Shihao, but unexpectedly, he actually joined the Yellow Turban camp and was promoted like a rocket to the position of deputy general of the Youzhou Army.
It made many people drop their jaws.
A large number of players replied below, and the number of replies quickly exceeded 1,000.
Some said that Qin Mo was bragging, some took the opportunity to mock Du Shihao, some just wanted to watch the fun, some wanted to take advantage of the situation, some wanted to advertise, there were all kinds of people.
Of course, there are also applicants who are sincere.
The bonus Qin Mo offered was indeed very tempting. Although he offered 65 positions at once, compared with tens of thousands of players, there were still too many people and too few vacancies.
The requirements for the skin training period are not too high, and it belongs to the current mainstream level of players.
For a while, players were eager to make a move...
…
Qin Mo didn't really ignore it. He logged into the official website with his mobile phone during class break. Seeing that there were a lot of replies and it successfully attracted the attention of players, he felt relieved.
Many people also sent him private messages directly to recommend themselves.
Qin Mo replied in unison: "See you online."
For him, it doesn't matter who comes, whether they are sincere or have ulterior motives, or even have other intentions. As long as they get on his ship, they can be used by him.
There is no need to discuss in detail.
What Qin Mo is concerned about now is another thing, that is, whether the Eastern Han Dynasty ceramic bottle brought back from the Three Kingdoms subcontinent is authentic and whether it can be sold at a good price.
I have to go online at night and prepare meat.
At noon, Qin Mo slipped out of school, took a taxi to the antique city, found a porcelain shop that looked quite formal, and walked in holding the ceramic bottle that had been wiped off the dust.
"Young man, what's this?" The boss was a middle-aged man wearing a white Chinese cloth jacket and had two small mustaches at the corners of his mouth. He looked well-groomed and a very cultured man.
"Ceramic bottle from the Eastern Han Dynasty, would you like to buy it?" Qin Mo asked as soon as he came up.
Put the porcelain vase on the counter.
He was not stupid enough to ask the boss whether the ceramic bottle was real or fake. If he really asked that, he would tell you it was fake.
The aura cannot be weak!
"Let me see." The boss became interested, picked up the magnifying glass, and slowly looked at it. After a long time, he looked up and asked, "Little brother, where did you get this bottle?"
"It's an heirloom in my family." Qin Mo said.
The boss didn't know whether he believed it or not, so he said, "It's real, 800, do you want to sell it?"
"800? Are you kidding?" Qin Mo was shocked.
"Little brother, you may not know the market situation. Porcelain from the Eastern Han Dynasty is not as valuable as porcelain from the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Although yours is also from an official kiln, its workmanship is average, so it is worth this price." said the boss.
"5000!" Qin Mo said gritting his teeth.
He really didn't understand this, and he felt so disappointed .
"5,000? Then you should take it back." The boss was firm in his attitude. It was really not worth the price.
“…”
Seeing that Qin Mo was a little disappointed, the boss said, "How about this, I see that your bottle is well preserved, so I'll give you some more to make it a whole, 1,000, no more."
"Deal!" Qin Mo didn't insist anymore.
This was a miscalculation. The ceramic bottle was not even worth a gold coin. Conservatively calculated at 200 yuan per gram, and a gold coin weighed 50 grams, that would be a full 10,000 yuan.
The only consolation is that the bottle is real.
As for why the ceramic bottle showed a sense of age, Qin Mo guessed that it was probably because a powerful person used the art of time travel to go back in time and directly ran along the long river of time to the Eastern Han Dynasty to scan the world at that time.
Of course it can be mistaken for the real thing.
After the defeat in the first battle, Qin Mo quickly calmed down. After all, it was just a small test. The ceramic bottle was worthless, but there would always be valuable ones. At worst, he could just melt the gold coins and sell them.
…
A chat group.
Xu Qiang, Zhao Shuang, Li Bingyun and others gathered together to discuss the post posted by Qin Mo.
More than 20 players from the Black Water Tribe were leaderless, so as soon as they appeared in Luoyang, they were lured away by other teams and completely dispersed, and their situation was extremely miserable.
Among the three, only Xu Qiang managed to get the position of sergeant.
Zhao Shuang: "Captain, do you still want to join Qin Mo? Don't forget, he rejected us in person, I can't lose face."
Xu Qiang: "After all, we are from the same tribe. I don't think there is anything wrong with that."
"If you want to go, you go. I won't go." Zhao Shuang refused. He thought that playing a game would not be a good way to get humiliated.
"I'll go," Xu Qiang said, and then asked, "Bingyun, are you going?"
"I, I'll go..."
Women are the most vengeful. After being rejected by Qin Mo last time, Li Bingyun was planning to ignore Qin Mo. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived in the Three Kingdoms subcontinent, Qin Mo showed off again.
For some unknown reason, I agreed.
"You, you guys..." Zhao Shuang was so angry that he couldn't speak and left the group immediately.
…
After school, Qin Mo went to the supermarket as usual and bought 100 kilograms of meat.
It feels like the funds are burning.
After returning home, Qin Mo did not rush into "Honghuang", but turned on the computer and began to look up knowledge related to antiques, paying special attention to Han Dynasty antiques. He could not make a fool of himself again.
After checking, I was a little disappointed.
In the antique market, the most valuable and most liquid antiques are from the Qing Dynasty, followed by those from the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The number of antiques from the Tang Dynasty is extremely small because many of them are cultural relics and cannot be circulated in the market.
It was even worse during the Han Dynasty.
If it cannot be traded freely, it will not be able to attract capital, and naturally it will not be able to sell at a high price.
A Han Dynasty five-bead is only one or two yuan each, and ceramics cannot be sold at a high price. Gold and silver wares are valuable, but the surface of those things is usually severely corroded, and they are cultural relics, so they cannot be faked.
Qin Mo thought about it and estimated that Han jade was the most valuable. He had an idea in mind and entered "Honghuang".
Appearing in the back hall, he subconsciously looked around and everything looked like money to him, such as the furniture. They were valuable, but it would be useless if they couldn't be sold.
Sighing, Qin Mo came to the front yard.
No players came to apply for the job that day. As usual, Qin Mo led his five hundred personal soldiers to conduct queue training, and did not deliberately look for porcelain bottles, jade artifacts or anything else.
Just let it be.
At the end of the day, Qin Mo didn't gain any experience points and even lost thousands of dollars.
This is the disadvantage of the Three Kingdoms subcontinent. Unlike the Black Water Tribe, there is a stable income every day. Fortunately, on the next day, players arrived in Fanyang City one after another.
Among them are Xu Qiang and Li Bingyun.
Qin Mo was really impressed with Xu Qiang. This man was so resilient. Even if his talent was average, he could still be useful. He planned to reward Xu Qiang with a position as a general.
It can also be regarded as a reward for the players of the Blackwater Tribe.
Qin Mo brought the players to the temporary training ground. As soon as they assembled, he frowned. He sensed three faint murderous intentions coming from the crowd, located in three different directions, vaguely surrounding him.
"Is there an assassin?"
Qin Mo relaxed his brows but sneered in his heart.
