Chapter Ninety-Five: Bright Robbery
Chu Xiaoxiao had already raised donations before, and knew how thin Zhang Million's so-called meagre power was, so he naturally wouldn't let him finish his words.
Now as long as Zhang Million agrees to donate money, Chu Xiaoxiao is confident that he can spit out a sum of money.
As soon as the sound fell, the audience was in an uproar.
A rather wealthy grain merchant sitting not far from Zhang Million almost collapsed on the chair, and after reacting, he immediately said to Chu Xiaoxiao: "County Lord, when did I say that I would donate half of my family wealth?!"
Most of these wealthy businessmen are people who regard money as their lives, and asking them to donate half of their family property is like asking them for half their lives.
Hearing this person's words, Chu Xiaoxiao blinked and said, "Lord Lin has voluntarily donated half of his family wealth, do you still want to be stingy?" Just now Master Zhang also said that your life is not easy, so I don't have a fixed number, no matter how much family wealth everyone present, only half of it can be circled." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, these wealthy businessmen present almost vomited a mouthful of blood.
"County Lord, don't do it!"
After only a moment, the rich businessman who was rich just now took the lead in crying towards Chu Xiaoxiao.
If it is a beautiful pear blossom with rain, Chu Xiaoxiao can still appreciate it to some extent, but for the funny performance of these people, Chu Xiaoxiao can only watch a joke at most.
"County Lord, it's not easy for me to wait......"
"If we really take out half of the family wealth, then our family will not be able to live in the future!"
"The county lord is gracious!"
All of a sudden, in the entire hall of the Taishou Mansion, the cries of a bunch of middle-aged men rang out one after another.
Although they had long known that this Huaiyang County Lord was not good, they didn't expect Chu Xiaoxiao to be so ruthless.
"Gentlemen, don't be too humble. Chu Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Your merits, the county lord has already reported to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will issue an order to commend you in a few days." Ladies and gentlemen, this is a good thing for the glory of the ancestors, and the people of Yongzhou City will remember your righteousness. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces were ugly and a little scary.
This Huaiyang county lord is clearly a clear robbery!
Under such circumstances, Chu Xiaoxiao had already told His Majesty before notifying them, and even if they didn't want to donate the money, they would donate it.
But the people present were all businessmen, and businessmen loved money, so they spit out half of their family property at once, and most of the people present were going to be distressed and bleeding.
It's just that what they don't know is that if they hadn't taken advantage of the fire to rob from the beginning, took advantage of the Yongzhou plague to raise the price of medicine, and collected grain at a low price, making Yongzhou City miserable, Chu Xiaoxiao would not have let them take out most of their family wealth for no reason.
Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhang Million with a smile on her face, and said with a smile: "Master Zhang must have no problem, after all, who doesn't know Master Zhang's integrity, he will definitely not abandon the people of Yongzhou City." ”
These wealthy businessmen are all headed by Zhang Million, as long as Zhang Million is restrained, others will not be a problem.
As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces turned weird.
Gao Yi will definitely not abandon the people of Yongzhou City?
Is this Huaiyang County Lord talking about Zhang Million?
The people present did not know Zhang Million very well, with Zhang Million's person, I was afraid that the people of Yongzhou City were all dead, as long as it did not damage his property, Zhang Million would not blink an eye.
"You!" Zhang Million pointed at Chu Xiaoxiao, his face turned red, and after a long time, he vomited a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground on the spot.
This weasel New Year's banquet for chickens finally ended with Chu Xiaoxiao's victory.
After this day, the three thousand Imperial Forest Army brought from the capital have not been idle, Chu Xiaoxiao made the so-called donation like a house, and the Royal Forest Army cried everywhere.
If someone who doesn't know the truth sees it, maybe they think that the Royal Forest Army robbed the wives and sons of these rich merchants.
A large number of silver taels were transported to the treasury of Yongzhou City, and all this money and wealth will be used to treat the epidemic of the people of Yongzhou City.
After being beaten by Chu Xiaoxiao for such a time, those rich businessmen no longer dared to join hands to raise the price of medicine, so for a while, Yongzhou City was slowly beginning to recover.
For this series of things, Chu Xiaoxiao followed up almost the whole process, and even personally led the troops to seal up two medicine halls with very high prices, and those rich businessmen naturally entered the cold cicada and did not dare to make any more moves.
In the inn.
Chu Xiaoxiao had just come back from outside the city, and before she could wait for her yard, she saw Yun Ruochen at the gate of the courtyard who didn't know why she was standing here.
"Didn't you tell you to go out less?" Chu Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at Yun Ruochen, and then didn't know what to think, took a step back slightly, and narrowed the distance between herself and Yun Ruochen.
Yun Ruochen watched Chu Xiaoxiao's movements, her lips, which were originally a little light in color, pursed slightly, and a look similar to injury flashed in her warm eyes, and the whole person stood there without saying a word.
Who is Chu Xiaoxiao? As soon as he saw Yun Ruochen's expression, he knew what he was thinking in his heart.
So with a light snort, Chu Xiaoxiao said angrily: "I just went out of the city, mixed with a group of sick people, and I haven't had time to change my clothes yet." You're not in good health, and I'm not afraid to give you my sickness. ”
Hearing this, Yun Ruochen's eyes instantly brightened, "Xiaoxiao, what you said is true?"
Chu Xiaoxiao held her forehead, "I'm idle, can I lie to you?" Your Majesty sent you here because of my uneasiness and kindness, you are not in good health, so don't go out and walk around. This place is not as good as the capital, in case there is an accident, you have to put your life here. ”
Listening to Chu Xiaoxiao's seemingly scathing words, Yun Ruochen had a faint smile on her lips, and said instead: "I heard that you have raised a lot of money these days?"
"Hey, I'm talking about you......" Chu Xiaoxiao knew that Yun Ruochen was changing the topic, but seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, Chu Xiaoxiao simply didn't say more, but followed Yun Ruochen's words.
"Hmph. Chu Xiaoxiao snorted lightly, "Those people are so rich, and they are so greedy, greedy and not greedy enough to swallow elephants, and they are not afraid of breaking their belly one day!"
Chu Xiaoxiao asked the Imperial Forest Army to come to the door and forcibly expropriated half of the wealth of these rich merchants.
It is said that half of the family wealth is actually only half of the silver in the treasury of these rich merchants.
These wealthy merchants have industries all over the country, and no one knows how much property they have. Chu Xiaoxiao said that it was half of the ones he took, but in fact, he didn't even have one-twelfth of the real family property of these rich businessmen.
