Awakening ability

Chapter 200 21 million taels of gold
The auction started at nine o'clock in the morning, and at twelve o'clock, there was an intermission. There was a total of one and a half hours of rest, and everyone ate together in the cafeteria of the National Teacher's Mansion.

At this time, Fang Hao also ate in the cafeteria with everyone.

The National Teacher's Mansion originally didn't have a large dining hall, but it did have a large kitchen, with some cooking small stoves and some cooking big pot meals.

Now the large kitchen is still preserved, but a large dining hall has been added.

People in the disaster relief office have three meals a day in the canteen.

The taste is much better than the big canteen in the inner courtyard of Huaxia Ability Training Academy.

One of the imperial chefs sent by Emperor Hongxi was in charge of the big pot of rice here.

There was also an imperial chef who opened a small stove for Fang Hao.

Fang Hao usually eats from a small stove, and the taste is really not comparable to that of a big pot.

It's just that sometimes in order to show my approachability, I still need to eat in the cafeteria.

Of course, it’s not a chore.

Being able to eat with Master Guoshi is enough for many people to brag about for a lifetime.

Fang Hao only spent more than ten minutes eating, and then went to the disaster relief office to learn about the results of the morning auction.

In almost three hours, a total of more than 90 orders were sold, which is quite efficient.

Not one single was unsold.

More than 90 orders, the price is high or low.

Among them, the one with the highest price was Fang Hao’s customized inscription. Two orders were released in the morning. One was sold for a sky-high price of 500 taels of gold. It was bought by someone from the third prince. The other one was sold for 800 taels of gold. It was sold at a price of , and was taken by the Seventh Prince's people.

The total record in the morning was more than 4000 taels of gold.

The turnover is quite impressive.

And the items that were auctioned in the morning were less than one-fifth of the total.

After more than an hour of rest, the afternoon session of the auction started again.

Fang Hao continued to watch on the spot.

The afternoon auction lasted until 100:[-] p.m. In more than five hours, more than [-] items were sold.

Among them are two custom-made personal inscriptions by Fang Hao.

The number of items auctioned in the afternoon was larger, but the total transaction amount was smaller.

However, it also reached more than 5 taels of gold.

In one day, more than 200 orders were sold, and none of them were unsold.

The total transaction amount reached a huge 12 taels of gold.

This transaction amount has reached Fang Hao's psychological expectations.

12 taels of gold is equivalent to 600 million taels of silver. If it can be used on the more than 200 million victims, it can solve their survival problems.

There is no way for them to have a high-quality life, but at least they can survive the coming winter and survive until the next year's grain harvest.

If you can't survive that test, you will die.

If you can survive that test, you still have a way to go in life.

After the friends in the disaster relief office figured out the accounts, they were all shocked.

Although a few of them were born in wealthy families, most of them were not so well off.

Now that they suddenly learned that they were going to supervise the use of such a huge sum of money, each of them felt a heavy weight on their shoulders.

Also, this is only the first day of the auction.

The auction is not over, because there are still so many auction items that have not been auctioned, and it will continue the next day.

The entire auction will probably last for three days.

The next day, Fang Hao was no longer at the scene.

Anyway, the auction on the first day had already achieved its goal, and in the remaining two days, it was not so important whether he was there or not.

At the auction on the second day, without Fang Hao's on-site supervision, everyone who participated in the auction said they felt great.

There is not so much pressure, there is no need to show how much sympathy you have for those affected by the disaster in front of the national teacher, and you don't need to increase prices crazily and buy some inexplicable things.

That feeling is really beautiful.

However, Lin Bin, the director of the Disaster Relief Office, was not in such a good mood.

Because there was no Fang Hao on the scene to suppress, the transaction amount of the whole day the next day was only more than 3 taels of gold.

For this reason, Fang Hao appeared again at the auction on the third day.

This is no small matter.

This may involve tens of thousands of taels of gold.

Tens of thousands of taels of gold, rounded up, is hundreds of millions of RMB, hundreds of tons of power, can that be considered a trivial matter?

So, on the third day, he came over to supervise again.

Monitoring is still effective.

The transaction amount on the third day has increased to a certain extent compared to the second day. More than 200 auction items were auctioned, and a total of more than 5 taels of gold were sold.

The three-day charity auction finally came to an end. Fang Hao swept away at least [-]% of the gold accumulated over the years by so many wealthy families in the capital.

The total trading volume exceeded 21 taels of gold.

Converted into silver, that is 50 million taels.

For this flood, the total amount of relief funds allocated by the court was only more than 1000 million taels.

That includes dredging silted up river channels, rebuilding collapsed embankments, and providing relief to victims.

If those funds are in place, if the problem cannot be completely solved, at least it can survive.

It's a pity that less than one-tenth of that large sum of money can be implemented.

Otherwise, nothing would happen to Fang Hao.

After the charity auction, all the staff of the disaster relief office were dispatched.

There are five chief and deputy directors, each responsible for disaster relief in one province.

Fang Hao asked everyone for Shang Fang's Sword, so that they could not only supervise the use of this donation, but also have the power to investigate local disaster relief efforts.

Every director is accompanied by a big internal swordsman—in fact, he is a casual cultivator recruited by the emperor.

This can ensure their safety to the greatest extent.

Investigating the strength of local disaster relief is a very dangerous thing, and Fang Hao had to be prepared.

Fang Hao took the more than 21 taels of gold.

He will use it to buy grain, seeds, and clothing.

He was also supervised by the Disaster Relief Office throughout the procurement process.

Before the team was dispatched, he held a meeting with the employees of the disaster relief office. Based on the information compiled by the office, he determined how much gold each province got, and also determined the proportion of clothes, food, and seeds. Proportion.

For this purchase, he solved it province by province.

Every time he went out to purchase, he was not alone, but brought the office director and an employee in charge of the province.

Flying with two ordinary people Yujian is still no problem.

The purchased items and prices are supervised by the office director and staff.

With one more person to supervise, the credibility is obviously stronger.

However, with his current mana, Yujian can only take two people with him at a time, and he can't take care of any more.

——Although no one can sanction him, he must prove his innocence, which will help him to do things in the future.

I would rather have a little trouble than finish this matter cleanly and improve my integrity.
