Hearing this, the kneeling shopkeepers and thugs kowtowed as if they were being pardoned, indicating that they understood! Then after Jin Yiwei waved, he rolled and crawled and ran to work! From now on, this salt farm is completely taken over by Jin Yiwei!
The captain turned around and bowed and said, "Sir, I just don't know what else my subordinates can do in this salt field besides watching them work."
Liu Haojia said: "Find someone to draw the entire terrain around the salt field, and remember clearly when the tide rises and falls! Another thing is to create a roster! The next thing is to supervise these people to pay their wages according to the rules of the officer. Send it on. I guess you’ve finished all this work, and your replacement will be here soon!”
The captain's expression relaxed when he heard this! This matter is simply a piece of cake for him! The only slightly more difficult thing is to find someone to survey the terrain and map it. But something like this can be done with just money!
After Liu Haojia explained clearly, he stood on a high place and looked repeatedly at the places where the kitchen households lived. Although he couldn't bear it, he turned around and left! He is not a god and cannot save everyone. He can only make them live a more comfortable life within his power!
What he is most anxious about now is to rush to Nanjing! Because he had already announced in Nanjing that he would hold an auction to exchange all the confiscated antiques and treasures for silver and transport them back to the capital! .
After Liu Haojia rushed back to Nanjing, the auction was almost ready. Countless invitations were sent out by Xu Guogong's messengers! The reason why he asked Xu Guogong to help him was because Xu Guogong's presence was equivalent to his guarantee that the auction would be fair and just.
And there is no one who knows who is rich and who is willing to spend money better than the Duke of Xu who has been in Jinling for two hundred years! Therefore, the invitation card issued by Xu Guogong's Mansion caused a huge sensation in Jiangnan!
In fact, what really caused a stir was the list of auction items attached to the invitation! It can be seen from the catalog that this auction is very grand! Antiques, curios, calligraphy and paintings are indispensable, and all kinds of rare treasures are also included! What’s even more maddening is that on the last page of the directory, it’s written on a single piece of paper: A luminous pearl! It can fill the room with brilliance!
When seeing other auction items, everyone is just excited at most! But when they turned to the last page and saw "One Night Pearl", all those who opened the directory were no longer excited, but their hearts were beating violently, which was unbearable!
How could such rare treasures be lost among the people? This kind of thing should have been included in the palace a long time ago! Now that I have this opportunity, I must find a way to take a photo of it! Even if you can’t take a photo, go take a look!
So the people who received the invitation started collecting cash in unison the next day, and then deposited the money in Liansheng Bank. After that, they rushed to Nanjing with the banknotes and night, for fear of missing the auction deadline.
After they left, Liansheng Bank also gathered a large amount of silver and shipped it to Nanjing! And other confiscated properties were gradually collected in Nanjing! It can be said that the wealth gathered in Nanjing at this time is unparalleled!
Liu Haojia was very busy when she arrived in Nanjing! One of the most important items is to sign various official documents, the largest number of which are documents for the receipt of various properties. So Liu Haojia told the people below: "Today he counted money until his hands cramped!"
After four or five days of fussing, all the matters were finally settled! Liu Haojia then ordered everyone to be divided into two teams, one half was responsible for guarding various properties and prisoners, and the other half was given a holiday to allow them to move freely! I finally came to the colorful world of Jiangnan and got a large sum of money. How could I not go out and have some fun!
After Liu Haojia rested for two days, it was the day the auction started! For this auction, he specially borrowed a house from Xu Guogong as the auction location. The best thing about this house is that there is a stage in the back garden, which can be used as an auction venue!
At this time, the garden has been cleaned very clean, and not even a single fallen leaf is visible on the ground! Moreover, all the trees and pavilions are covered with lanterns. When they are lit, the whole garden will be brightly lit! That’s right, this auction was held at night!
There is a huge Eight Immortals table on top of the stage, with three chairs on each side! The entire stage was also shrouded in huge lanterns
! A small stream separates the stage from the auditorium opposite.
This is because the actors' status is low and they are separated by a small stream to prevent any actor from crossing the boundary and bumping into the nobles! Especially the nobles watching the play in the backyard are mostly female relatives. Separating the two sides with a stream is conducive to their reputation among the ladies!
But there are also dozens of lotus-shaped lanterns fixed on this stream, scattered and floating on the water. When they are lit, the entire water surface is illuminated! Coupled with the reflection from the water surface, there is double the light, which will definitely make people feel relaxed and happy, and feel that the stream is vast and boundless!
Opposite the stage is the auditorium. But the auditorium is not an ordinary auditorium, but a winding corridor! But at this time, the corridor was filled with chairs. Only chairs and no tables were placed like this. This was because there were so many people coming to participate in the auction! There is not enough space for the number of tables! But the good thing is that it can still be done by making sure to put a coffee table between every two chairs!
At the same time, each chair has a name on the back and a number plate on the chair! Everyone who comes to the auction has read the instructions on the invitation and will naturally use these things without making a joke!
There was only a coffee table facing the stage, with two chairs on both sides of the coffee table. Needless to say, this place can only be used by Xu Guogong and Liu Haojia.
Liu Haojia arrived first in the evening. As soon as he jumped off the horse, several guards came up to see him. The person leading the team was guarding a hundred households! He stepped forward and saluted and said, "Sir, I didn't expect you to come so early!"
Liu Haojia threw the reins to the servant and said, "How is the arrangement going? Can the auction be held on time?"
Baihu replied: "Everything is fine! Thanks to the Duke's government for sending many people this time, these people are very efficient in their work!"
Liu Haojia nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at the four large lanterns hanging in front of the door. Each lantern had four big characters written on it: Beizhen Fusi! Then he looked at the Jinyi guards standing upright with embroidered spring knives in their hands, and then he said with a smile: "We are all in this garden now, right?"
