Chapter 426: Huge Momentum



After suffering losses at the hands of Qian Ruoyu time and time again, Li Zhiyi has become completely numb.

She had never thought of a way to deal with Qian Ruoyu directly, so she could only admit defeat every time.

After Li Zhiyi left, everyone in the hall began to cheer. After all, most of them had already begun to feel unhappy with Li Zhiyi.

Especially since the plague, Li Zhiyi's various behaviors have made everyone feel shameful.

After the outbreak of the plague, Li Zhiyi acted as if she was not a concubine. She rarely showed up and was even afraid to contact people.

She was afraid that she would get the plague from contact with others, so she was so cautious, but being so cautious always made people feel selfish.

After all, this situation is equivalent to distance oneself from the ordinary servants in the palace, and naturally will not be liked by others.

But Qian Ruoyu was different. Not only did he make everyone in the palace drink more potion, but up to now, no one in the palace had been infected with the plague.

Such a huge gap alone is enough to make everyone dislike Li Zhiyi.

Subsequently, donations were carried out in an orderly manner. Almost everyone in the palace made their own donations, and even the housekeeper donated a full sixty taels of silver.

The steward in the prince's palace is different from the stewards elsewhere. Because of the prince, the steward in the prince's palace has almost no extra property.

The sixty taels of silver he could come up with was not a small amount of money, so Qian Ruoyu nodded with satisfaction.

After everyone had donated all their money, they returned to their respective posts and started doing their own things. Qian Ruoyu also asked Yan'er to start counting the money.

Not long after, Yan'er said to Qian Ruoyu.

"My lady, the amount has come out. We have raised a total of 8,000 taels of silver for charity."

After hearing this number, Qian Ruoyu felt a little satisfied. After all, it was quite good for a royal palace to gather nearly 10,000 taels of silver.

Qian Ruoyu also decided to make up the remaining two thousand taels of silver, so that he could make up exactly ten thousand taels of silver.

Qian Ruoyu then nodded to Yan'er and said, "Since the palace has been completed, that's enough. You take out one thousand taels of silver from here as publicity expenses and promote the entire process. It would be best if our event this time could be as grand and impressive as possible!"

"I will add the remaining silver to make up to 10,000 taels of silver. You should announce to the outside world that the palace has donated a full 10,000 taels of silver."

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, she nodded immediately, then took the silver and left the palace.

After leaving the palace, Yan'er did not sit idle. Instead, she started using the money given by Qian Ruoyu to buy a lot of things, including a large amount of silk cloth, and asked the maids in the palace to help embroider the cloth.

Embroidering on silk is like making a banner.

Naturally, all of this was given to her by Qian Ruoyu, and Yan'er was doing everything Qian Ruoyu taught her without reservation.

Not long after, hundreds of banners were ready, and Yan'er even asked the servants of the palace to post these banners all over the capital.

However, within one day, the entire capital city knew about the military fund-raising effort, and even knew that everyone in the palace had donated a total of 10,000 taels of silver. Naturally, this made everyone in the capital city admire it.

In addition to these hundreds of banners, thousands of notices were written and posted in various places in the capital, and even the streets and alleys were covered with these notices.

These notices written on paper also explained the importance of raising military funds, which naturally made people around who saw them feel a little excited and wanted to raise military funds.

But in addition to this, Qian Ruoyu also knew that just like this, the aliens might not be willing to come and donate military supplies. After all, war is still a very far away thing for them.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu also decided to use the special-effect potion as a gimmick to make more people willing to donate military funds. After all, Qian Ruoyu could still make tens of thousands of bowls of special-effect potions.

Although it cannot support the needs of so many people in the capital, at least it is not a big problem for those who donated to drink the special potion.

It was because of this that Qian Ruoyu started making potions and asked Yan'er to publicize matters related to the potions.

Yan'er naturally started to promote it without hesitation, announcing that anyone who donated military supplies would be able to obtain the special potion.

And right after that, Yan'er set up the place for raising military funds directly at the gate of the palace.

Several horse-drawn carriages were parked across the gate of the palace, with several large boxes on top, each of which was empty.

Then one of the boxes was pulled to the main entrance of the palace. At this time, Yan'er could already see the common people walking towards this place.

Yan'er also shouted loudly.

"Raising military funds is about to begin. Please come up one by one and tell us your names. We will record everyone's name. When the war is over, our palace will find a way to give back to everyone!"

Although the people gathered together, few came forward, which naturally made Yan'er a little puzzled, so she hurriedly asked Qian Ruoyu.

After asking Qian Ruoyu, Yan'er realized that these people with eyes were very shy, so they needed someone to take the lead before they would take the initiative to come forward.

Yan'er also immediately remembered the method that Qian Ruoyu had taught her before without hesitation, and asked several people around her to pretend to be ordinary people and enter the crowd.

One of the maids managed to squeeze to the front and then raised her hand and spoke.

“I want to donate money, I want to donate money!”

After saying this, the maid walked forward and spoke.

"Your Majesty is a good prince. You saved my life before, so I donated the money I saved from my daily frugality to your Majesty!"

After saying that, she took out the ten taels of silver that Yan'er had given her and put it directly on the table.

After seeing the appearance of this maid, the people around her naturally widened their eyes, and then some of them walked forward, and then the next servant also walked forward.

“I want to donate too!”

"Although I only have a hundred bucks, I am willing to take it all out to fight for the prince. This is for the cause of our entire capital!"

As he said go, he walked forward with big steps, and Yan'er nodded repeatedly.

Sure enough, under the encouragement of the two people, more and more people began to move forward and started to donate on their own initiative.
