Zombie travels through time and space to become the empress, who only wants to be a jerk and not att

In fact, Li Xuanji has nothing to do with it at all. What is being sold and how much is it for?

How can I sell it for more money?

How to maximize profits is what Jiang Feng is best at.

Murong Anle is the best at selling things beautifully.

Murong Yue was listening at first, but later she felt drowsy.

This part is not fun at all, bargaining is more fun.

In the end, the first royal auction in the history of Qing Kingdom was called "Jianji Auction" and was jointly hosted by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue.

A total of 1,400 items from the royal treasury were auctioned.

The proceeds are turned over to the state treasury.

In addition to the items, the winner will also receive an additional plaque issued by the Ministry of Rites that reads "A man of great accomplishment who helps the country".

If the auction is won by an imperial merchant, the project corresponding to the imperial merchant will be extended by one year.

Anyway, the imperial merchants will give it to anyone. One more year will make the title more valuable to the merchants. I think these imperial merchants will work hard for this one-year deadline.

The time is set two days after the scientific examination.

It also allows the students of Qing State and the merchants to interact with each other.

What else?

Oh, by the way, I also need to arrange a few agents, so that when I meet those rich people or those from other countries, I can take advantage of them.

All in all, there are still four days before the scientific expedition begins, and they don’t have much time left.

They were not worried that those dignitaries would not be able to make it. Just kidding, Qing Kingdom was not that big, it would still be in time for them to come in person.

Besides, even those who have business or connections in Beijing should just not come and participate.

Not strong enough.

In the end, Murong Yue only knew that there were still four days of scientific examinations and six days of auctions.

Humans really can't live too comfortably.

If you have nothing to do, find something to do.

The ministers knew about the auction, and the radicals were more in favor of it.

"They are all royal property. Your Majesty cares about the world. What's wrong with that?"

"Hide the wealth among the people and use it for the people. When these objects are in the hands of the people, they will be seen again as history continues."

The conservatives are divided into two parts.

Some people think that these things are inheritance, and if they are sold like this, the inheritance will be broken!

Another part thinks it is too conservative. Since His Majesty has already taken out the private treasury, shouldn't you, the great scholars and aristocratic families, express your opinions?

Let’s not talk about us officials, we are so poor!

So, an additional link was added to the auction.

The noble families can submit a collection for auction, the proceeds from the auction will go to the national treasury, and then His Majesty can personally nominate a painting.

As for whether it was written by His Majesty, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, Li Xuanji said that Murong Yue just needs to stamp it.

Of course, it’s voluntary!

It’s okay if the noble families don’t want to participate, just come and have fun!

These are Murong Anle’s original words.

But with the noble families participating, those who don’t come will seem out of place.

What's more, the things they took out were too shabby, which was even more embarrassing.

So in the end, the noble families all paid the price for their own face.

But since I have a big family and a lot of wealth, it doesn’t matter. Besides, I have also received the calligraphy from His Majesty, so that’s enough.

Preparations for the scientific expedition and auction are in full swing.

Murong Yue was basking in the sun on the steps of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with the little rabbit and the little hedgehog nestled on her knees.

Qi Yuan hurried in with a dusty messenger.

The messenger's face was covered with frost, his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse, "Your Majesty, urgent delivery of eight hundred miles."

Murong Yue didn't understand what "800 miles express" meant, but she knew that the matter was urgent by looking at the other party's attire and appearance.

She took the light letter.

In addition to the wax seal, the thin envelope of the letter also had the red seal of each official post station.

This is something I haven't received before.

It represents how many official post stations the letter has gone through. If there is any problem in the future, the corresponding official post station can be found based on the seal.

Murong Yue tore open the envelope and saw the words written on a piece of paper. She could recognize "Yellow River", "Spring" and "Drought".

Drought means lack of water.

I'm afraid I've seen it wrong.

"Qi Yuan, come and see!"

It was an urgent letter of eight hundred miles. Qi Yuan did not care about anything else. Knowing the current situation of His Majesty, he immediately stepped forward and took the letter.

"Your Majesty, I have been patrolling the upper reaches of the Yellow River and have discovered that the water level has dropped by at least half a meter compared to the same period last year."

"I am afraid that there will be a severe drought this year. I hope Your Majesty and the court will make early preparations."

Seeing what happened next, Qi Yuan's hands couldn't help but tremble.

A water level of half a meter may not seem like much, but there are tributaries everywhere along the Yellow River, and water is used everywhere.

The water level in the upper reaches dropped by half a meter, and in the middle reaches it was almost half less than in previous years.

As for the downstream, it is likely to dry up completely.

Now Murong Yue understood, it was drought.

Not to mention humans, even zombies, creatures that have almost no need for water, cannot tolerate drought.

What about humans?

In the last class, the teacher taught her that the Yellow River runs through the territory of Qing State and is the river of life for Qing State.

If it were before, her thought would be that if this base was gone, it would be gone.

Wander around by yourself and be a happy and free zombie.

And now, here we have clues about our mother and some good human friends. This base is so big, what will we do if they are gone?

"I..."

"Go find the teacher!"

This was the first time Murong Yue encountered such a thing. She couldn't leave, and her first reaction was to find a teacher to solve the problem.

Qi Yuan ordered the messenger to go down and rest, then turned around and chased after him.

Murong Yue ran to the Xuanji Hall in one breath.

His Majesty has arrived——

Before the announcement was made, Murong Yue rushed in.

"Teacher, it's not good!"

"Sudden death!"

what?

Li Xuanji was shocked. Who died?

"Ah! Something happened! Teacher!"

"Your Majesty, please speak slowly." It was the first time in such a long time that Li Xuanji saw His Majesty so anxious.

Murong Yue was so anxious that she spoke fluently, "Yan Qinghe wrote a letter saying that the water level of the Yellow River has dropped and Qing Kingdom will suffer a severe drought."

Huh?

After Murong Yue finished speaking, she raised her hand and touched her mouth.

what happened?

It was as if I had suddenly grown a mouth.

Qi Yuan, who followed closely, handed the letter in his hand to Li Xuanji.

At the same time, suppress the surprise in your heart.

The last time you faced the giant snake in the enclosure, Your Majesty was very fast, and I originally thought it was just a short burst.

But just now, the distance from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the Hall of Xuanji is not short, but His Majesty maintained the same speed as that day.

So fast that only an afterimage remains.

He almost didn't keep up.

Your Majesty is an unparalleled master. I didn’t expect Your Majesty to be so powerful.

After reading the letter, Li Xuanji checked the envelope and seal again to confirm that they were not forged.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Please ask the six ministries and the prime minister to discuss it."

"Yeah," Murong Yue nodded.

Now that she has calmed down, she also feels that this matter should be discussed by everyone together, after all, there is strength in numbers.

Soon, the ministers of the six ministries and the prime minister, who had just returned home from court and had not yet finished their lunch, were summoned to the palace again.

Everyone was shocked when they heard about this.

But after a brief panic, there were rules.

The last severe drought in Qing Kingdom was during the reign of the retired emperor, about 30 years ago. At that time, the old policies were still in use, and when drought came, the people could not get enough to eat.

Rise up in rebellion.

Local repression.

The secret could no longer be concealed and reported to the court.
