After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

Emperor Jiade, who was not well-off, was a stingy emperor. He was extremely stingy when it came to this title which would require a huge amount of money from the national treasury to support in the future.

Haven't you seen that Emperor Jiade has more than a dozen princes and princesses? Except for a few princesses who have already married and obtained titles and ranks before their marriage, the rest of the princes and princesses are all bald princes and princesses without any titles or ranks.

Emperor Jiade originally wanted to start with the eldest son, the Crown Prince, thinking that as long as the Crown Prince gained experience in the Ministry of Personnel for a period of time and made some achievements, he would have a reason to be rewarded.

However, Emperor Jiade was almost crying over the stupidity of his naive eldest son. After seven or eight years of experience, he had nothing to show for himself, and there was no reason to confer any title on him.

Anyway, he was not satisfied with any of his sons, and he did not want to send any signal to the ministers in the court about which prince he preferred as the heir. So Emperor Jiade simply suppressed his sons from the eldest prince onwards and simply did not confer titles on any of his sons.

So, for the first time in all dynasties, a strange phenomenon occurred where more than a dozen princes were bald princes and none of them had a title.

But Emperor Jiade was a capable and courageous emperor after all. Anyway, this was the emperor's family affair. Besides, Emperor Jiade was less than 50 years old and in the prime of his life. It would be a long time before he became the next emperor. Any court official would be so narrow-minded as to offend the current emperor for the sake of the next emperor who was still unknown. That would be a moron.

If he was so stingy even to his own son, one can imagine how stingy Emperor Jiade was. It has been more than 30 years since Emperor Jiade ascended the throne, and the number of titles he has bestowed on him cannot be counted on one hand.

Now, in order to alleviate the disaster, Emperor Jiade was willing to give out a title, even if it was the lowest rank of county earl, which was the first time in history.

With such a big bait, it would be strange if the auction scene wasn’t bustling.

"Quiet, everyone, please be quiet and objective. Mei Niang knows that you are all very excited and can't contain your excitement.

But our auction has its own rules. Now I announce that the last lot of this charity auction, the grand finale, the plaque with the inscription of "Charity" by Emperor Jiade and the title of county earl that will not be demoted for three generations, will start at 100 million taels of silver. Each bid must not be less than 1 taels of silver. The bidding will start now."

"100 million taels..."

"I'll pay 110 taels..."

"Get out of the way. I'll pay 150 million taels..."

"200 million taels..."

"240 million taels..."

As soon as the host Mei Niang finished her words, the bidding sounds from the audience began to rise one after another.

……

"Your Majesty, it looks like the money for disaster relief is secure."

Seeing that Emperor Jiade's expression had relaxed a little, Li Shiliu naturally took advantage of the situation and said something with a smile.

"Girl Li, you did a great job. If you want any reward, just ask for it."

Seeing that he had solved his recent worries and saved the private treasury he had worked so hard to accumulate over the years, Emperor Jiade was naturally in a very sunny mood. Even those troublesome sons could not affect him. After all, he had many sons and the royal family could support them. If things really didn't work out, he could continue to have more children and then slowly choose an heir.
