Under the dark purple velvety night, melodious music came from the temple of Hades, and countless lights intertwined into brilliant colors, trying to dispel the cold and slaughter that shrouded the complex. It's a pity that it has little effect, but is affected by the unique aura of the temple, rendering it like a ghostly fire.

“......”

Evan stood far away on a terrace, watching the rehearsal before the banquet, seeing the brightly lit night sky from the brightly dressed band in front of the palace, the more he looked at it, the more twisted he felt, and he subconsciously shook his head again and again.

"Your Majesty, what do you think is wrong, and how can we improve it?" Yasin asked cautiously when he saw that his face was full of displeasure.

"Something is very wrong, nothing is right!"

The more he listened to the music, the more impetuous, and rubbed his temples with a headache: "Stop, stop, let them all stop, and the lights will be extinguished for me immediately! The rehearsal ends here! The banquet can't be done like this!"

"Yes. ”

Although Yasin looked uncertain, he didn't say a word of nonsense, followed his orders and ran all the way down the terrace, instructing his subordinates to stop the rehearsal.

“......”

Evan stood by the guardrail, blowing the cool night breeze while staring at the temple and pondering it.

As the noisy music gradually subsided, his mood also returned to calm, and it didn't take long for him to figure out where his sense of twist came from - it was only a few days since Menes was defeated, and he spent a lot of money and extravagantly and wastefully entertained guests, isn't this a trick!?

"It's ridiculous to have a banquet in extraordinary times, and I have to find another way. ”

He took into account the mood of the commoners at the bottom and immediately dismissed this aristocratic approach.

Usually there are things that want to spread in the aristocratic circle as soon as possible, and holding a banquet is indeed the most efficient way, and it is easy to find out their thoughts on this occasion, and some things that are not easy to say openly can also be mentioned in private.

But not now, Evan considered that he himself had the black spot of signing a traitor's treaty, and if he held a banquet to celebrate after signing the treaty, it would be compared to 'why not eat minced meat', maybe it will really stink for 10,000 years.

In short, the more important thing to do now than to gather people is to whitewash your image.

So...... How?

Ivan silently lowered his head and pondered for a while, then his eyes fell on the royal court of Menes, where the searchlights were most dense, and suddenly he had a new idea.

......

"What!?Charity auction?"

Eru Romei looked up from the desk full of papers, her beautiful eyes stared, and then she looked at him in surprise:

"Haven't heard of it, what is that?"

"Specifically...... That's roughly it, cousin, you and I donated some gold, silver and jewelry, and held a small bazaar in the temple of Hades, so that the whole city, including noble merchants, could bid for it at will. Then all the money earned is used for relief of refugees and post-disaster reconstruction. ”

He patiently explained, paused at this point, and smiled confidently:

"The names of the merchants and nobles who bought the goods will also be on the list, so that the relief victims will know who the good people are who are helping them. ”

"That's a good idea!"

Her eyes were shining when she heard this, her heart was full of joy, she raised her slender index finger, and shook it with joy:

"It's up to you to do it, and it's just right...... Well, I'll give you a batch of supplies, and then you make a plan and submit it to me. When I read the plan and think it is feasible, I will send a few master accounts who are proficient in planning to help you do this. ”

"Cousin, I know that there is not enough money to spend on disaster relief, so ...... I hope you can give a little more as you like, so that there are more goods available for auction and the funds raised will increase in disguise. ”

Evan himself doesn't have much money, but he knows that his cousin is very rich, after all, the entire empire belongs to hers, so he reminds the other party in disguise to give a little more, anyway, the left hand turns to the right hand, this kind of thing must not be stingy.

"Of course I know what to do. ”

Eru Romei didn't let him say anything, shook the bell on the desk, summoned the adjutant Renee, and ordered the other party to count the materials in the palace and provide them to Evan for auction.

"The bidding is up to me, and the money raised must also be managed by my people, understand?" said at the end, her beautiful and immaculate face showed a crocodile-like look again.

"Of course. Ivan replied with a respectful jaw.

He will never be corrupt, and it is a great thing that this matter can be named by the organizer, how to spend the money...... Of course, it is up to the payer to decide.

......

In fact, long before Evan found her, Eru Lomei had already begun to reduce the amount of money spent in the palace in order to subsidize the disaster relief gap, and was ready to sell most of the luxury goods.

Therefore, the amount of materials to be sold is huge, much more than Ivan imagined, and it can be said that it is a huge wealth. It includes a large number of unused luxury furniture, exquisite antiques, precious stones, all kinds of lamps, clothing, bedding, religious utensils, bricks, stones, wood, precious metals and even some columns.

He followed Renee to carefully count all the supplies for sale, and after a little more time, ordered the chief of the court to draw up a list, and found that the conservative value of these items was about eight million debens.

"I didn't expect there to be so many things to sell. ”

He looked at the dazzling list, and couldn't help but sigh at the extravagance of the previous generations of Sun Kings, so many useless things can be stored, and the style of life is really corrupt.

"Your Majesty, everything that can be sold is here, when are you going to start writing a plan?" Rennie reminded in a low voice.

"Don't be in a hurry!"

Evan looked at the dazzling list and said with a smile:

"We have to classify all the items in advance, what kind of goods, what kind of buyers, we must list clearly, so that we can raise more money. ”

"The queen has already instructed her to do this, and I will listen to you on what to do. Renee looked at him with a suspicious look and asked, intentionally or unintentionally, "Your Majesty, according to your method, what price can you sell this batch of materials?"

"What ...... this?"

Evan raised his chin and showed a confident look:

"If nothing else, I can at least quadruple it!"

"That's four times, thirty-two million Deben...... Your Majesty...... Aren't you really talking big?"

The female officer's eyes became more and more strange when she looked at him, not like looking at the monarch's eyes, but with a look of looking at the braggart king.

"Look at it. ”

Evan, who was now in good spirits on happy occasions, didn't bother with her, craned his neck, walked to the gem storeroom, and prepared to count the jewels for sale.
