Does the emperor want them to raise funds?
this……
They all stopped talking.
Shu Yanghong was the first to take the lead and said, "I am willing to donate money to support this project!"
"This is a great act of charity. I will first offer 500,000 taels of silver!"
Sang Jingyun:?
You are the only one who can perform!
"We, the common people, are also willing to fund this project!"
"I offer six hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Shu Yanghong:?
You just have to have more than me, right?
Shu Yanghong, "Then I will pay 700,000 taels of silver!"
Sang Jingyun said, "I offer eight hundred thousand taels!"
Shu Yanghong, "I will pay 900,000 taels!"
Sang Jingyun said, "I offer one million taels!"
Shu Yanghong, "I will pay 1.1 million taels!"
Sang Jingyun, "The common people are coming out..."
…
Emperor Dewu watched them arguing, and silently picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. For the first time, he felt that listening to people arguing was a wonderful thing.
Why was it that their quarrels always touched his heart?
Everyone around: ...
Two eye-catching bags!!
Can you guys fight to get out of the palace?
Do we have to fight when we are all here?
What should we do?
If we don’t go out a little more, will we be able to get out of this door? !
Everyone took note of these two conspicuous bags.
The two of them finally stopped at two million taels of silver.
Emperor Dewu clapped his hands and said, "Good!"
"The people of Yuan will all know about the money donated by Ci'an Hall and Jiwu Hall for the benefit of the people of Yuan."
"You two families have great love."
"I am very pleased. It is an honor for the Yuan Kingdom to have an owner like you."
Shu Yanghong and Sang Jingyun both had smiles on their faces, they were very happy.
After all, they were praised by the Emperor! Of course, it would have been better if the other one hadn't been praised.
Thinking of this, the two looked at each other, snorted at the same time, and turned their heads away.
The people on the side quickly spoke up, "We are also willing to contribute some money to support this project!"
"Yes, yes, we are willing to do it too."
"We may not have as much money as Brother Shu, so I'll offer 500,000 taels of silver!"
"I'll also offer 500,000 taels of silver!"
None of them dared to offer less than 500,000 taels of silver. After all, they were big shops, not small ones. Shu Yanghong and Sang Jingyun had already offered so much, so how could they afford to offer less?!
After everyone agreed to go out, Emperor Dewu smiled softly, "My dear righteous men, I thank you on behalf of the people of Yuan!"
"Don't worry, the people of Yuan will know about the good things you have done."
The owners smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. Yuan Kingdom is also our homeland. We naturally hope that Yuan Kingdom will get better and better!"
"Yes, yes, I hope Yuan Kingdom will get better and better!"
They felt that in the end the people would definitely think that it was Emperor Dewu who paid the money, and there was no way they would know that it was them who paid it.
Unless Emperor Dewu makes public the fact that they paid the money.
However, no emperor would do this.
This is an opportunity for the emperor to gain favor with the people. Which emperor would give up such a good opportunity to others?
Don’t even think about it!
But since the emperor said so, they have to agree even if he doesn't do it.
Emperor Dewu stood up and said, "Everyone, please enjoy your meal. I still have memorials to review, so I won't stay with you for long."
After saying this, Emperor Dewu walked away.
After Emperor Dewu left, the other hosts all sighed with a wry smile, "Ah!"
I knew this meal wasn't going to be easy.
One meal costs five hundred thousand taels of silver!
Five hundred thousand taels!
It hurts, but I have to eat this fruit!
You have to eat it!
Such expensive fruit, shouldn’t you eat a few more bites?
The hosts lowered their heads and ate the fruit plates in front of them.
Shu Yanghong and Sang Jingyun didn't care. They got up and left.
They knew that what the emperor said about letting the people know that they had paid money was true.
After all, the emperor had told the people about the good things they had done before.
Because they did good things and generated income.
If they do more good things like this, they won't lose anything.
The other owners don’t know this, they just regret that they came too quickly today!
But... no one dared not to come.
This is Emperor Dewu. Who dares to refuse Emperor Dewu’s invitation?
The next day.
Emperor Dewu sent people to post a notice about their donation of silver and money to subsidize the construction of the school.
When the bosses saw the announcement, they all found it incredible.
Um?
The emperor actually told everyone about their donation?
There was even a notice posted?!
Many people gathered around to watch, "These owners are really good."
"Ah, I've bought hairpins from this shop before! I need to buy some more!"
"I've bought rouge from this store before! I want to buy more from this store too!"
"The cloth from this shop is also very good. I didn't expect the owner to be such a broad-minded person. I will buy all my cloth from him in the future."
…
The people were talking about this matter.
Owners;!!!
A big surprise from the sky!
They really didn't expect that Emperor Dewu would do this!
He didn't even take credit for their work!
This is so rare.
“I’ll donate again next time!!”
I don't know which owner said this, and the others followed suit, "Yes, yes, I'll donate next time too. I've thought about it, and 500,000 taels of silver isn't enough. I'll have to add more later."
