After making these arrangements, Qian Ruoyu returned to the palace, but soon someone came to his door.

Yan'er said to Qian Ruoyu.

"The people who came with the Queen are from West Street Business and Ruyi Business. They said that because the Queen has formed an army to suppress bandits, they all want to make a donation!"

Hearing these words made Qian Ruoyu feel a little more energetic, but Qian Ruoyu didn't want to meet them directly now. After all, if the emperor knew about this, it would be troublesome.

It was because of this that Qian Ruoyu whispered a few words directly to Yan'er.

After hearing this, Yan'er nodded immediately and then came to the small hall of the palace.

This small hall is specially used for receiving guests. There are three halls in the palace, and this is the smallest one. The other two are halls for receiving civil officials and military generals respectively.

Therefore, this small hall is naturally used to accommodate these merchants.

When they saw Yan'er coming, they didn't see Qian Ruoyu, which naturally surprised the people in front of them.

But Yan'er said very calmly.

"Our queen has said that it's not impossible to donate money, but the money should not be given to our palace, but should be given to the court first, and then distributed to us by the court!"

"Please go back first. You are here in public like this, which is really beyond the reach of my palace! If you really want to let the whole city know about your help, go to the Ministry of Revenue now. They should be happy to accept it!"

But after hearing these words, the people in front of them were obviously surprised, because they never expected Yan'er to say such a thing, so one of them took a few steps forward and said.

"This... We from West Street are here specifically to congratulate Her Majesty the Princess..."

The others also nodded.

Yan'er saw that her improvement was so obvious, but the people in front of her still didn't understand, so she explained it again.

"Don't you understand what the princess said? If you want to make a public donation, you can naturally take it to the Ministry of Revenue. There are special people who will accept the money, and then the money will eventually be managed by His Majesty!"

"As for the personal connections with the princess and the other three, that's fine. There's a table here. You can put your own voluntary personal connections on the table. Remember to sign your name at the end."

"Besides that, the princess will not accept even a single grain of silver!"

After hearing these words suddenly, everyone understood instantly that it seemed that the funds for donations could not be brought in, so they could only rely on personal connections.

Then the representative of the West Street Chamber of Commerce immediately walked forward, came directly to the table, and placed an envelope on the table.

At the same time, he wrote a few words on the envelope with a brush, and then stepped back respectfully.

After seeing this scene, the other people naturally became sensible and came to the table one by one. They placed their banknotes on the table and wrote their signatures on them.

Seeing them like this, Yan'er felt relieved. It seemed that these people were smart, otherwise they would not have chosen to come here specifically to give out silver bills.

Just after everyone put down all the banknotes, they followed Yan'er and left the palace.

Yan'er immediately took all the banknote envelopes to Qian Ruoyu.

Looking at the thick envelopes in front of him, Qian Ruoyu immediately knew in his heart that these businessmen were indeed very sensible, but the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce among them surprised Qian Ruoyu.

After all, above Ruyi Chamber of Commerce is Ruyi Money House. Qian Ruoyu was originally going to investigate Ruyi Money House, but Ruyi Money House actually came to the door to deliver money in person at this time.

Qian Ruoyu was the first one to open the envelope from Ruyi Money House and found ten silver notes of one thousand taels inside, a total of ten thousand taels of silver.

Qian Ruoyu didn't even blink when seeing the ten thousand taels of silver notes. The amount of silver Qian Ruoyu had in his hands was beyond the estimation of ordinary people.

Qian Ruoyu even wished he could find a silver mine, so that he would have an endless supply of silver.

And just after that, Qian Ruoyu opened the silver bills of West Street Business, which contained thirty silver bills of five thousand taels, a total of one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver.

After seeing the amount of silver bills, Qian Ruoyu was even more satisfied. He thought to himself, the business people in West Street really know how to do things. They knew that he was short of money, so they actually took out so much silver at this time.

The largest remaining envelope turned out to be from Jingcheng Commercial, which was under the name of Jingcheng Chamber of Commerce. When Qian Ruoyu opened it, he saw that it contained silver notes worth nearly 80,000 taels of silver.

The remaining several chambers of commerce were some unknown chambers of commerce in the capital, but after all, the leading chamber of commerce had made a move, so naturally they also made moves one after another, ranging from five thousand taels of silver to eight thousand taels of silver.

Although the number was not large, Qian Ruoyu could see that these businessmen had obviously understood their position in Jingcheng Business, so they nodded slightly, appearing to be very relieved.

"Go and exchange these banknotes this afternoon, and bring all the silver to our palace."

Hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, Yan'er naturally nodded quickly.

At the same time, Qian Ruoyu thought about it for a moment and said to Yan'er beside him.

"By the way, is there any extra space in our yard?"

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Yan'er thought about it and then shook her head.

"My lady, our yard seems to be completely full at the moment, including Miss Lianhua's house, a firewood room, and two maids' rooms. It seems that there is no vacant space in our yard..."

After hearing this, a trace of doubt appeared on Qian Ruoyu's face. He took Yan'er out and walked around the yard.

Qian Ruoyu found that there was some vacant land around his yard, and this vacant land did not affect the buildings next to it.

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu immediately said to Yan'er.

"Or else let's make some changes to our yard!"

"Since there is no open space around the courtyard, then you can ask the servants of the palace to start renovating the courtyard and demolish the other three walls except the first wall. After that, expand our area to twice the original size!"

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Yan'er naturally did not hesitate at all and nodded quickly.

After all, Qian Ruoyu has now reached the pinnacle in the palace, and every word he says is true and effective!
