The name of the person who donated the largest amount and the amount of money, food and clothing donated are written first.
Sort in descending order.
After writing the list, everyone checked it several times. After confirming that it was correct, they dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest.
Prepare to go to the palace gate early tomorrow morning to ask for an audience with His Majesty.
The other side.
Song An and others who were keeping an eye on this place also got the news.
I know there is a group of merchants coming from other counties.
You have to go to the palace to donate money, food and clothing.
They didn't dare to do anything to these merchants.
You can only calm down and observe secretly.
.........
the next day.
Early in the morning.
Ying Zheng received news that there were merchants asking to see him at the palace gate.
It was said that they came from other counties and donated money, food and clothing.
Ying Zheng said, "Announce."
"promise."
Xia Lin responded and walked out.
After giving a few instructions to the palace maid outside the hall, the maid walked quickly towards the palace gate.
Xia Lin returned to the palace and served Ying Zheng.
Ministers Wang Wan and Feng Quji were also in the hall.
Qi Pan, Ying Zheng, Wang Wan and Feng Quji were gathered together to discuss political affairs.
After the discussion, Qi Pan looked at Wang Wan and asked.
"How is Lord Wang these days?"
"I haven't seen you for a few days. I heard you were sick?"
Wang Wan covered her mouth and coughed, "Ahem... Thank you, Imperial Master, for your concern."
"It's nothing serious now."
Qipan nodded, "That's good."
Wang Wan looked at Ying Zheng again, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty."
"If Your Majesty had not sent Dean Xia to treat me, I don't think my illness would have healed so quickly."
"You are too polite, Lord Wang."
Ying Zheng said, "Your Majesty, you are my most trusted minister. How can I not send someone to see you when you are ill?"
"I hope you're feeling better now."
"But you still need to pay more attention to rest these days and don't overwork yourself."
Wang Wan: "Yes, Your Majesty, thank you for your consideration. I will definitely keep it in mind."
A palace maid walked in quietly and whispered a few words in Xia Lin's ear.
Xia Lin waved his hand and the palace servants retreated again.
Xia Lin walked up to Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty."
"The merchants outside the palace gate have arrived."
"good."
Ying Zheng: "Let them in."
"promise."
Xia Lin went out and soon came back with a few merchants.
The leader was Qin Lou.
There were several merchants following behind him.
They are all the ones who went to see Jiang Xiang last night.
Qin Lou and several merchants walked in with their heads lowered.
He bowed towards the seat at the top and said, "I greet your Majesty."
"I greet your majesty."
Ying Zheng's expression was gentle, "Well, get up."
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Lou and others did not expect that Ying Zheng would be so easy to talk to.
Stand up carefully.
Qin Lou raised his head slightly and saw that in addition to Ying Zheng, there was also a young man and two ministers in the hall.
Judging from the young man's clothes, he should also be a minister in the court.
But...Qin Lou couldn't figure out for a moment which minister this was?
So young.
He didn't dare to look around casually, so he just took a quick glance, then quickly lowered his eyes and said to Ying Zheng.
"Your Majesty, we have heard that you intend to build a Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu."
"I have saved up some money, food, and clothing to donate to Your Majesty."
"I hope Your Majesty will review it."
As he spoke, Qin Lou took out the list he had drawn up last night from his arms.
Present with both hands.
Xia Lin walked up to Qin Lou, took the list from his hand, and handed it to Ying Zheng.
After Ying Zheng looked at the list, his expression softened a little.
"You guys are so thoughtful."
He was thinking in his heart, what kind of reward should he give them?
Donating so much money, food and clothing must have cost a lot of money.
He was able to devote himself so wholeheartedly to building the Great Wall for him and the Qin Dynasty.
These merchants are rare.
He couldn't treat them unfairly.
I thought of Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu and others who had been conferred the title of imperial merchants and awarded plaques.
Ying Zheng thought, how about...giving them the title of imperial merchant as well?
Give a plaque?
In this way, they have an additional identity and protection when doing business outside.
If they earn money, they will donate something next time.
Maybe they are more positive.
Donate more than you already have.
Ying Zheng has always been lenient towards those who are useful to the Qin Dynasty.
He looked gentle and asked a few simple questions.
After deciding on the inn where they would temporarily stay, Xia Lin was asked to escort them out of the palace.
After leaving the palace.
Qin Lou and the others were still a little dazed.
Just...that's it? ?
Gone???
Although Ying Zheng's expression was gentle when he spoke to them, they were somewhat flattered.
But when I think about Jiang Xiang and others being named imperial merchants and receiving plaques bestowed by the emperor.
The people in Qin Lou couldn't help but feel jealous and unwilling.
They also donated money, food and clothing.
Why were Jiang Xiang and his people named imperial merchants and given plaques by His Majesty?
And they have nothing?!
Qin Lou and his companions looked at the palace gate and gritted their teeth.
I walked towards the inn feeling lost.
They are asking too much.
They were just wishful thinking.
Imperial Merchant, not everyone can be named an Imperial Merchant by His Majesty.
They have too high expectations of Your Majesty.
