Under everyone's gazes, the stunning number finally jumped out.
"One million gold!"
The bidder was still Blood Romance.
Seeing this, Moon Illuminates the River stiffened and took the initiative to back out. Apart from supporting the development of the guild, he also had to take care of Lingxi City, so he couldn't continue to gamble.
"One million one hundred thousand gold!"
Swallow Li San gritted his teeth and chose to keep up.
In the end, it was still a showdown between Blood Romance and Swallow Li San.
"One million two hundred thousand gold!"
Blood Romance naturally had no reason to give up.
"One million two hundred and fifty thousand gold!"
Swallow Li San's eyes were filled with a trace of struggle.
Anyone could see that this round of bidding was close to his limit.
Now it was time to see if Blood Romance would continue bidding.
"One million three hundred and fifty thousand gold!"
As expected of the number one player, Blood Romance raised the price by another hundred thousand gold. Finally, Blood Romance said to Swallow Li San from afar, "Brother Yan, this is my last bid."
Obviously, Blood Romance also didn't want to continue bidding indefinitely.
One million three hundred and fifty thousand gold was already a sky-high price. Even Lin Jing couldn't afford it.
[Bloodlust Mercenary Group] truly had a deep foundation.
Swallow Li San sighed dejectedly when he saw this, and he unwillingly withdrew from this competition.
… …
In the blink of an eye, the auction came to an end.
Finally, the mysterious veil of the finale was lifted. It was a talisman.
"Emperor Historical General Summoning Talisman. Once used, there is a 100% chance of summoning an Emperor Historical General. The starting price is one hundred thousand gold. There is no fixed price. Please bid. "The auctioneer said.
Summoning Talismans were even rarer than Substitute Dolls.
Not only was the Emperor Summoning Talisman auctioned out an Emperor Summoning Talisman, but it was also a directional Summoning Talisman.
After the baptism of [War Blood], the players were much calmer towards the final item.
The only ones who really wanted it were the Lords.
In other words, they were the territories that lacked a general who could take charge of an area on his own.
Unfortunately, the Lords that had the strength and money were all from [Yan Huang Alliance].
In [Yan Huang Alliance], Di Chen had Lian Po, Lord Chun Shen had Tian Dan, and Xiong Ba had Wu Qi. The Battle Wolves had Zhao Zhuang, so they weren't in a rush to recruit generals.
As for Feng Qing, he had no intention of doing this.
Thus, the one who truly desired this Summoning Amulet was Military Kill Ripper. Army Kill Ripper had just bought the Mongolian Iron Cavalier Training Manual, and he needed a general to lead this army.
It was a pity that Military Kill Ripper was too unpopular within the [Yan Huang Alliance], and no one gave way to him.
Although Di Chen, Lord Chunshen and the others already had famed generals in their territories, they did not mind adding one more. After all, compared to Shanhai City, their lineup of generals was truly shabby.
After a round of bidding, Military Kill Break won the bid for the talisman at the price of six hundred and fifty thousand gold coins.
The entire auction had officially come to an end.
The ten items were sold for a total of 5,250,000 gold coins.
This year's auction was destined to be recorded in the annals of history and become a legend of wealth.
After the auction ended, the auctioneer announced a shocking piece of news.
As the saying goes, nothing should happen more than three times.
This year's auction would be the last one held by the system in China.
In the years to come, players would no longer be able to buy treasures like the ones displayed in the capital's auction.
When everyone heard this, they all sighed deeply.
Only Ouyang Shuo remained calm.
As someone who had been reborn, Ouyang Shuo had already expected this.
He also knew that in the fourth year of Gaia, although there would not be an auction in the capital, Gaia would organize a global auction to share this feast.
At that time, players from all over the world would compete for the ten treasures. Just thinking about it made one's blood boil.
After setting a date for the [Shanhai Alliance] Conference with Bai Hua and the others, Ouyang Shuo left the auction house.
Of course, he did not leave the capital.
Now that he was in the capital, Ouyang Shuo naturally had to talk to his two allies, Shadow Fox and Dream Clouds. The location of the meeting was the Shanhai City office in the capital.
The three of them discussed for an entire afternoon before going their separate ways.
That night, Ouyang Shuo left the capital and returned to Shanhai City.
The next day, after half a month of discussion and deliberation, the Southern Border Protectorate's new restructuring plan was officially announced. It signified that the governance system of the territory had been upgraded.
The entire plan involved three major adjustments.
First, it would be upgraded to four major bureaus.
The Administrative Bureau, the Interior Bureau, the Finance Bureau, and the Military Bureau would all be upgraded to general bureaus.
There was a practical reason behind the name change.
First, the Interior Bureau would have the Science, Education, and Health Bureau, and the Military Bureau would have the War Readiness Bureau. It was inevitable that there would be some confusion in the names, so it was not easy to clearly define the relationship between the two.
After being upgraded to general bureaus, there would be no such trouble.
Second, the structure of the three levels of government offices, except for the Military Bureau, was basically based on the structure of the Southern Border Protectorate.
Thus, it was impossible to clearly define and maintain the absolute authority of the four bureaus of the Southern Border Protectorate. After the upgrade, the four general bureaus of the Southern Border Protectorate would become a unique existence.
The four bureaus were upgraded and their names changed, but the official position of the chief officer remained the same. He was still called the chief officer.
Ouyang Shuo had thought of calling him a 'minister'.
Unfortunately, although the Southern Border Protectorate had the authority to establish its own headquarters, it could not appoint ministers.
In private, Xiao He and the others had already crossed the line by calling themselves ministers. In an official position, Ouyang Shuo naturally did not dare to step over the line and give others a chance to speak.
Only after the country was established could it be truly established.
Second, it was to expand the four bureaus.
After the destruction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the territory would have seven counties.
The Southern Border Protectorate's previous structure of four bureaus and seventeen departments was no longer enough to maintain the governance of the territory.
Take the Office of Examination under the Administrative Bureau as an example.
According to Ouyang Shuo's original plan, the Office of Examination was the core department responsible for governing the territory. In reality, the Office of Examination was only responsible for assessing the performance of the territory's officials. It was far from the true governance of the territory.
Ouyang Shuo's previous reorganization of the territory's governance had forced him to send out a higher-ranked administrative bureau chief.
This was how it was.
If the Office of Examination was expanded, there would be no need to worry.
The same situation was happening in the Education, Education, and Health Bureau. Ouyang Shuo wanted to reform the basic public services of the territory, and the Office of Examination could not handle it. He could only temporarily upgrade the Office of Examination.
There were many similar administrative problems.
Thus, the expansion of the four bureaus was imperative.
