Awakening ability

Chapter 184
Fang Hao did not refuse to accept the gift.

But I felt quite depressed after collecting so many valuable things that I couldn't use.

These things are all luxuries and are used by the rich, and donating them will not recharge your own power.

That's not as good as gold and silver.

Of course, the best is gold.

As for the reputation of letting those people directly use gold as gifts, that's not something he needs to consider.

He came here to do things, to improve his strength, not to raise his fame.

He is not from the same world, what does he want that fame for?
Get some gold and donate it, do some practical things, and improve yourself some strength. That is the right way.

After he said that he would accept gold as a gift, Master Ma and Steward Chen both relaxed.

This is it!

An official who has been an official for thousands of miles only for money, not for money, is a different kind, and it is very scary.

These gifts are valuable, but they are useless in Fang Hao's heart.

He asked the two: "Can you find a way to sell these things and exchange them for gold?"

Frankly speaking, Master Ma and Steward Chen looked down on someone like Fang Hao who was obsessed with gold.

It was as if he had never seen gold before, and he looked very cowardly.

Even the two of them are not that fascinated by gold.

When Sun Fulin was a national teacher, although he didn't need the wealth, his women did, so he never minded collecting some money.

It's just that when he left, the wealth that came in was distributed to his women and children by him.

Because monks can't use it.

This new national teacher is also a monk, and he doesn't even have a woman. I don't know why he has such an obsession with gold.

Maybe it was because my childhood was too poor, which left some psychological shadow.

Both of them thought so.

Although I despise this kind of behavior, I still dare not show it.

Chen Guanjia said: "These things are very valuable. Most people can't afford them. It's hard to sell them. It's a bit difficult to sell so much at once."

Fang Hao frowned: "Can't sell it? Isn't it just a pile of garbage? It's a waste of space to put it in the house."

Chen Guanjia said: "We can open a shop and hang those things there and sell them slowly."

Hearing this proposal, Fang Hao suddenly remembered the urban legend about some sensitive words about the luxury canteen in the residential area.

When I first heard such a legend, I felt that the world was terrible.

But now that it's my turn, I think it's a good idea.

The National Teacher's Mansion set up such a store, and any luxury gifts received can be sold through this store and turned into real money.

That's not the point yet.

The most important thing is that with such a luxury store, those dignitaries who want to give gifts to the National Teacher's Mansion in the future don't need to search for luxury goods everywhere, and just come to this store to buy them.

I bought luxury goods from the shops opened by the National Teacher's Mansion, and then gave them to the National Teacher's Mansion, and then the National Teacher's Mansion put the received luxury goods in the shops to continue selling.

It eliminates waste, and it is convenient for those who give gifts. They don't need to rack their brains to think about what kind of gifts the Master Guo likes.

This forms a perfect circle.

Every time a cycle is completed, the National Teacher's Mansion will receive a large amount of real money.

He pondered: "The method is a good one. There are so many gifts hanging in the shop for sale. It may take a long time to sell them all."

Chen Guanjia said: "This really takes time."

The main reason is that I received too many gifts this time.

This time, there were a lot of people giving gifts, that's because Fang Hao was newly appointed, and those who came to give gifts were all gifts for the new officials to take office.

It is an unspoken rule to give a gift to the new national teacher, and not to give it is disrespect to the national teacher.

So all the princes and ministers came over with gifts.

Those who come over to give gifts after this are those who ask for the national teacher.

That number is certainly not going to be much.

With the demand for gift giving, the shop opened can have business to do.

Without such a big demand, there is no way to sell so many things.

Fang Hao frowned involuntarily.

Master Ma smiled beside him and said:

"Although it can't be sold in the normal way, the national teacher can invite all the dignitaries in the capital together for an auction to auction off all these things."

"Won't it be a little ugly to ask them to pay to buy these gifts back after they gave them the presents?" Fang Hao asked.

Although he didn't intend to gain fame here, it was really ugly to sell the gift from others back to others.

Get a shop to sell it, do it secretly, and only those in the small circle know about it, so it's not a big deal.

But to invite all those dignitaries to come and hold an auction, this is simply telling the world that someone in another place is shameless for asking for money, and that is too shameful.

"It's okay," Ma Zhu said. "If you simply auction those things, it's certainly not good-looking, but if you give a noble reason, for example, to raise funds for the reconstruction of the homes of the people who suffered from floods this summer, Then there will be no problem, but it will give the national teacher a good reputation."

Fang Hao's eyes lit up: "You can have this!"

He wanted to exchange those luxury goods for gold, originally for charity.

This is not an excuse, but something he wants to do.

There is really no moral taint in using this reason to auction.

He patted Master Ma on the shoulder and said happily:

"That's a good idea! Let's do it!"

He asked again: "Is the flood in Taiqiu country very serious this summer?"

Master Ma said: "This summer, continuous torrential rains fell in the south. Many tributaries in the lower reaches of the Qiulong River collapsed, and two main embankments collapsed. Many places in the five provinces on both sides of the river were affected. The summary of half a month ago, and More than 200 million disaster victims were left homeless."

More than 200 million, that is not a small number.

Fang Hao asked: "Has the imperial court provided disaster relief?"

Master Ma said: "The imperial government has allocated more than [-] million taels of silver for disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction, but because of the large area affected by the disaster and the large number of people affected, there are still many victims who cannot be properly arranged."

Fang Hao already had a certain understanding of prices in this world, and knew that more than 1000 million taels of silver only sounded like a lot, but it would not have much effect if it were really used on more than 200 million homeless victims.

There is one more important point - the more than 1000 million taels of silver, after layers of exploitation, can really be used on the victims of the disaster, and it is unknown whether there are still 100 million taels.

Fang Hao didn't know much about officials in this world, but the gifts he received gave him a feeling that officials here are not so clean.
