I want to ruin the country

The auction officially begins.

We had to sell 3,000 lots in 15 days, which meant an average of 200 lots a day, so the time was very tight.

Fortunately, Yining made preparations in advance this time. The information of each auction item was printed into a booklet and distributed to everyone.

Most of those who participated in the auction had a specific purpose and were guaranteed by the royal credibility, so people saved all the time spent on appraisal.

Moreover, the starting price and reserve price this time are directly the market price, so there is no need to spend time bargaining from ten or eight yuan, which saves a lot of time.

Because of this, the auction was very quick. Basically, the items were put on display, the numbers were announced, and then someone raised their hand, and the result was announced within a few minutes.

Due to time constraints, we only have fifteen minutes, or half an hour, for lunch.

At twelve o'clock noon, hundreds of eunuchs rushed in from outside, each holding a food box filled with delicious dishes.

The eunuchs quickly put the food on the table and everyone started eating and drinking.

The meal was very sumptuous, but we were not allowed to drink alcohol and we only had half an hour to eat.

After dinner, there is half an hour of activity time, and it officially starts at one o'clock.

The auction ended at eight o'clock in the evening, and all 200 lots were sold.

The two hundred lots fetched a total of three million taels of silver.

The auction started at eight o'clock the next morning, and more than five million silver coins were sold in one day.

On the third day, the amount exceeded 10 million taels of silver.

As the value of the items increases, the amount of money auctioned off every day is also getting higher and higher.

By the tenth day, a total of 120 million silver coins were sold.

Yining was overjoyed!

Although he has plenty of money now, there will be many places to spend it in the future. Will he still feel that the money is too hot to handle?

On the eleventh day, some treasures from past dynasties and treasures tributed from foreign countries appeared, and nearly 30 million taels of silver were auctioned that day.

At the end of fifteen days, all 3,000 lots were sold, and Yining earned a total of more than 300 million silver coins.

On the last day, Yining went to the auction in person again.

He went on stage to speak, warmly comforting the wealthy people below, saying that they had made great contributions to the rise of Daqing.

Speaking of which, Yining said,

“Everyone, you may have heard that the court wants to build three cement plants in each prefecture.

I believe everyone understands the use of cement. The court has given everyone an opportunity to make a fortune.

Anyone willing to cooperate with the court can contact the local Industrial Manufacturing Bureau!"

Everyone was extremely excited when they heard this. Cement is so great! It's harder than stone and can be used everywhere, such as building bridges, roads, and houses.

There were no fools among those present. They certainly knew that there were huge business opportunities here. When they heard that the emperor was willing to cooperate with them, they were all overjoyed.

Then I heard Yining say again,

"Everyone, most of you have captured precious treasures this time. I'm sure everyone is worried about how to keep them from being coveted by bandits, right?"

"boom!"

The people below immediately started talking.

This is exactly what they are worried about. The world is not at peace now.

Not to mention petty thefts, there are also bandits, robbers, robbers and bandits everywhere. They kill and rob, burn, kill and loot everywhere, making everyone feel insecure.

People are afraid of being famous just like pigs are afraid of being fat. What rich people fear most is being remembered by these people.

Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what methods the emperor had to ensure their safety.

Then I heard Yining say again,

"You can rest assured, I will arrange for soldiers to escort you back home safely.

You don't have to spend a penny. If anyone eats a grain of your rice or takes a penny from you, he will be beheaded! "

Everyone has these concerns. Bandits are rampant now. Don’t buy a treasure and then have it robbed by bandits before you get home.

The emperor was very thoughtful. Not only did he send people to escort them, he also considered that these soldiers might make things difficult for them or blackmail them, so he took precautions in advance. I guess they wouldn't dare to do that this time.

The emperor has recently been rectifying the civil service system, banning smoking and cracking down on corruption, and the social atmosphere has changed greatly!

However, after returning home, these officers and soldiers cannot stay there for a long time. That is impossible!

Then I heard Yining say again,

"Everyone may be thinking, what happens after the officers and soldiers leave? Do you have this concern?"

"Have!"

Many people said this below.

Yining smiled.

"I have also thought of this. After the officers and soldiers leave, the local soldiers will protect you.

Moreover, each of your villages can establish a security team, and the number of people can be determined according to the size of your village.

The members of the security team are civilians during the day and soldiers at night. This ensures that when bandits and robbers come, they can resist for a while!

Of course, this requires filing with the local government office, which can then issue you weapons!"

"boom!"

Everyone started discussing it again, and it turned out to be a good idea to set up a security team.

However, the robbers and bandits are all desperate criminals. Can these local people in the security group stop them?

Yining continued,

"Of course, this is only a temporary solution. I have a more fundamental solution. Next, I will mobilize the entire nation to eradicate all bandits and robbers!"

Everyone was talking about it again. Every dynasty said that they wanted to eradicate them, but which dynasty actually did it?

Yining said again,

"I'm putting this out here today, and you can spread the word when you go back.

From today on, any bandits and robbers who lay down their weapons and surrender, except for those with extremely serious crimes, will have their crimes reduced by one level.

Those who have not committed serious crimes will no longer be held accountable, and will even be given a chance to survive.

If you are stubborn and resist to the end, you will only end up dead!

You can also report petty thefts. Anyone who reports will be arrested first and then investigated!

However, if the accusation is malicious and false, the crime will be three times more severe!

I must return a clear and bright world to the people, ensuring that no one picks up lost items on the streets and no one locks their doors at night!"

When everyone heard this, it seemed that the emperor was going to make great efforts to improve social order.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is good that the emperor has this determination, and there was a burst of warm applause that lasted for a long time!

Finally, Yining said,

"Tomorrow at noon, I have prepared a royal banquet for everyone in the palace. You are free to come or not!"

Everyone was extremely excited. During the first auction, some people had several imperial banquets, and some even had a full Manchu-Han banquet. What an honor it was!

The emperor finally provides meals, how can I not go? How can I not be happy?

Yining said again,

"Also, I have a few rare treasures to auction tomorrow morning. If you're interested, please sign up today. The number of participants is limited to thirty.

I will award the top five auctioneers tomorrow with a red-lettered iron certificate!

As for who gets to participate, it all depends on who pays the most registration fee. From top to bottom, no one is cheated!"

Ruijin said in his heart, Your Majesty, you are really "a pockmarked man is not a pockmarked man, but a swindler"!

If you incite people like this, won’t someone die?

As expected, after the show, there was a huge crowd of people coming to Ruijin to sign up. Those who wanted to participate were the real wealthy people from all over the country.

They are usually the kind of people who spend money like water and don't even blink an eye. How can they not fight for their lives just to get that red book and iron certificate that can save them from death!
