Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

With more people, the city will be more prosperous, the tax revenue will be more, and the ability to distribute welfare and maintain public order will be stronger. This cycle will naturally bring the city to life.

As for the side effects of raising expectations?

Keqing had thought about this before, but after arriving at Licheng, what Licheng brought was not enough to meet their expectations.

But how can this be?

Keqing believes that the conditions, philosophy, atmosphere, welfare and prices of Licheng are among the best.

Although there is no secret place or various rare treasures here, it is safe and there is no need to worry.

In Keqing's vision of the future, the success of both equipment refining and alchemy will make Licheng self-sufficient, which will attract more people and form a positive cycle.

Plus the "specialties" brought by the auction house

I believe the future won’t be that bad.

only……

"Aren't there too many people?"

Keqing looked down from a high place, looking at the hundreds of flying boats parked outside the city wall.

To be honest, she was shocked when she saw the rush of people coming.

However, although it was unexpected, Keqing had already made arrangements to welcome a large influx of people, so the situation was relatively stable.

Among them, she also saw some young men from noble families who had extraordinary identities, wearing gold and silver, and seemed to be from hundreds of cities.

"Lord City Lord, should we keep an eye on them?"

Seeing Keqing staring at the visitor of extraordinary status, the captain of the Licheng Guard accompanying Keqing asked in a low voice.

It is obvious at a glance that he is a child of a noble family, what if he gets into trouble.

"Don't worry too much, just be a little careful. Increase the number of patrols recently, and be careful of anyone causing trouble."

Keqing told them not to pay special attention to them, as there will be more people like this in the future and they can't just keep an eye on them one by one.

Not to mention anything else, these people have people protecting them behind them, and they are very sensitive to any kind of sight, so it is best not to treat them specially, just treat them normally.

"I understand, Lord Mayor."

Keqing nodded and looked at the arrangements and guidance for the flow of people.

"It seems that the previous decision was not wrong. Fortunately, those gods have opened up a large area."

Previously, Keqing had asked those captive gods to expand the east side of Li City close to the Wild Beast Forest and the west side of the desert, directly expanding it a hundred times the current size of Li City. They also built roads, paved them with bricks and stones, and constructed houses.

At that time, many people thought that the city lord might want to take revenge on the people from the ten cities, after all, Li City did not need such a large territory.

A hundred times, that's terrifying. How can the power of the formation cover such a large area?

At the time, everyone thought it was revenge.

Whenever the empty night falls, even though the lights are on in that large area, it still feels like a ghost town.

But now it seems that this was not revenge at all, it was foresight.

Nowadays, a large number of people are pouring in, and because the houses have been built earlier, there is no need to worry about chaotic streets or congestion.

Moreover, Keqing had already made various arrangements in those vacant streets and shops half a month ago, and used preferential policies to allow some businessmen and business alliances to open branches in various places.

This also resulted in the influx of people being well arranged in a suitable area.

There are countless things like this, so I won't go into details. Seeing that the influx of people remained at a stable stage, and the drainage and other things were not chaotic, Keqing felt relieved and stopped caring about these things. Instead, she began to prepare for the auction house.

……

Inside the auction house at this time.

"Lord City Lord, this is not a good idea... Preparing for the auction house to distribute the auction invitations is our job, and you are overstepping your authority by intervening in it."

The person in charge of Dragon King Auction House looked unhappy.

I am very disgusted with Keqing's attempt to interfere.

I thought the Lord of Li City was here to give me some goodies, but I didn't expect that he actually wanted to interfere with the auction house's work.

Keqing's expression did not change, and she did not speak. She just tapped the spiritual wood armrest beside her with her index finger, making a light tapping sound.

The scene was silent and quiet, and an inexplicable aura filled the entire reception room.

Yayoi was in a state of confusion, wondering what the Lord of Licheng meant.

The silent pressure was exerted on her whole body. Even though the other party didn't say anything and just looked at her calmly, Yayoi felt as if she felt a huge pressure coming at her.

He suddenly remembered that the killer was behind the Lord of Li City, and even Dan City was in trouble. Could it be that the other party was going to attack him! ?

No way……

The more I thought about it, the more shocked I became. The quiet environment, the huge oppression, Keqing's aura was always very noticeable.

Even though she didn't say anything, she just said a sentence at the beginning.

But it is this kind of empty environment that seems to be able to swallow up the soul, and the beautiful eyes that look at you quietly like the blood moon, which brings up a shocking and breathtaking illusion.

Time passes by intermittently.

Many conjectures emerged in Yayoi's mind, and her hair was slightly wet under the robe.

When wondering if the other party wanted to replace their auction house, Keqing looked at him, felt that the time was right, and spoke.

"Friend Mi, as far as we are concerned, half of the auction items in this auction house are provided by our Licheng, and the implementation of the auction house also requires Licheng to intervene in part. I think this is as it should be."

"There is no precedent for this. How can it be done this way?"

"Without our auction house, you wouldn't be able to hold an auction at all."

Yayoi objected subconsciously, but Keqing shook her head.

"I asked Ye Shang to choose your auction house not because you have a wide network of contacts, but because your auction house has always had the best reputation, emphasizes integrity, and is very reliable, so I chose you."

"Of course, your Dragon King Auction House was once a well-known auction house in the Wasteland State, but since the death of the previous owner, your status has plummeted, and most of the market has been divided up. Do you think what I said is right?"

Yayoi stiffened her neck and couldn't say anything.

"What you said is indeed true, but our Dragon King Auction House still has many connections."

"But without you, we can still run the auction house, relying on the auction items in our Licheng. Let's not talk about other things. What do you think will happen if we support our own auction house?"

Keqing narrated calmly, but Yayoi felt a huge sense of crisis in her heart!

Not much!

If we really let them do it in Licheng, wouldn't that be further seizing their market?

Over time, people all thought that Licheng Auction House was the best auction house and no one would remember their Dragon King Auction House.

This is a threat!

"Okay, what do you want to do..."

"It's very simple. I will use the resources of Licheng to help your Dragon King Auction House reach its peak again, but I want to use this as capital to own part of the rights and profits of your auction house. In short, I want to give you a part of the business shares in exchange for us cooperating with you and improving the reputation of the Dragon King Auction House."

"impossible!"

Yayoi subconsciously refused, but Keqing ignored her and continued.

"This business owner will participate in the dividends, but will not manage the daily affairs. He can interfere when necessary."

"Licheng has the right to use the merchant ships under the Merchant Alliance for free. There is no handling fee income for the auction items of Licheng Auction House."

"The Licheng Auction House will undergo special renovations, requiring real-time transfers."

Seeing Keqing talking continuously without paying any attention to his opinions, Yayoi's face grew colder.

The Lord of Li City must be dreaming if he wants to take over the Dragon King Auction House with just one auction.

But when he heard the real-time transfer, he couldn't help but ask.

“What is real-time forwarding?”

"You should know Zhongzhou, right?"

“Who doesn’t know Zhongzhou?”

Is this thinking that you are mentally retarded?

Keqing ignored his cold expression and continued.

"The Zhongzhou Merchant Alliance has a formation that is similar to a photo stone. It can project the image of one place to another place not far away."

"so what?"

“What I mean is that the auction house should set up this kind of video, so that monks with identities and verified assets can enter the auction house for auction, and other people can do this real-time transfer even if they do not enter the auction house.

At that time, we will set up several places to play the music for everyone in Licheng. We will then collect a symbolic fee for the maintenance of the formation."

Seeing that Yayoi was a little confused, Keqing continued to explain.

"This kind of real-time broadcast can not only increase the public's sense of participation, but also improve the reputation of the auction house and Licheng, and spread the reputation of Licheng to the outside world."

Noticing Yayoi's expression turning curious, Keqing continued in a seductive tone.

"Think about it, if the auctioneer introduces where the item came from, how valuable it is, and how the auction house went through so much trouble to get it, wouldn't it be a good publicity for both the owner of the item and the auction house?"

"By then, everyone will know how powerful this auction house is, and that it can produce treasures like this."

“This, this is really…”

"And this matter can be taken a step further. Those who can participate in the auction are all people of status. What would happen if everyone knew that they lost the auction to others? Would they be so angry for the sake of face that they would increase the weight and do irrational things?"

"This, this is wonderful!"

"And what else? What else?"

"Of course there are other benefits. For example, the auctioneer actually has many skills in speaking. If you compare something with something while speaking, such as a thousand-year-old stone marrow, or the auctioneer's body-building pill..."

“There’s no comparison!”

"There is no comparison, but with comparison, people will tend to think that the Body Refining Pill can be compared with the Stone Marrow. If you can't buy the Thousand-Year Stone Marrow, you can buy the Body Refining Pill. Then will the sales volume... I call this advertising, which means to make it known to the public."

The more Yayoi listened, the brighter her face became.

"It's amazing that there is such an idea!"

"And what else? Is there anything else?"

Keqing chuckled.

"It depends on the sincerity of your auction house."

Chapter 851: Ask if you don't understand (2W)

After being reminded by Keqing, Yayoi's face suddenly turned bad, but thanks to the ideas Keqing just put forward, he just buzzed.

"Impossible, you want our dragon just for an auction.

Royal Auction House, it’s impossible.”

"What if it happens more than once?"

"What!?"

Yayoi was stunned.
