"Ten taels?"

When did this cunning nine-tailed old fox become an iron rooster with buckles and ropes. Too surprised, Shen Jinshan, who had just shouted out 100,000 taels, asked unconsciously.

Hu Jiuling glanced at him and did not speak, but turned his gaze to Xiao Houye, who had been staring at his own girl since Fang Cai. Others may be afraid of the high-ranking and powerful little marquis, but as an imperial businessman who is accustomed to seeing the dignitaries and magnates in the capital, he himself is not so afraid. Even if he is afraid, he will immediately become the fearless father if he cares for his daughter A-Yao.

Obviously, he promised him last night, and he still has a thief's heart to die.

"Could it be that the Hou Ye is not allowed to donate ten taels?"

Lu Jingyuan was still immersed in suspicion of that girl, recruiting military salaries was just a trivial matter for him, even if he couldn't bring back a tael of silver, the emperor's uncle would not blame him in the slightest. Although this situation is unlikely, at least it ensures that he does not have the slightest worries and can put the matter about the girl in the first place.

He didn't pay attention to it when Shen Jinshan spoke, but now it was Hu Jiuling who spoke out, and he had to treat that girl solemnly.

"Donating is voluntary. What he said will not be taken back, and the military salary collected today can be used to offset future taxes. ”

"Brother Shen, can you hear clearly? It's all voluntary. Facing Shen Jinshan, Hu Jiuling repeated the first sentence, and the chips in his hand did not change at all.

With him taking the lead, the businessmen who are attached to the Hu family will definitely not dare to stand out, and they will put out green chips together, and the neutral businessmen will hesitate to wait and see when they see this. As for following Shen Jinshan on weekdays, this would have kept up with the businessmen who cheered him on, and they all launched a green chip, and their faces were even greener than the chips.

Can it not be green? The little marquis just said the last sentence, and the words pierced their hearts like sharp needles. Today's fundraising can be deducted from taxes, and the large amount of silver on the deed of painting at the warm pot banquet last night is not, count, count!

Yesterday, I sucked Ah Furong dizzy, and under the warm atmosphere, the number they shouted out was more than one by one, and the number on the deed was already the limit of what they could out. The gold medal made the arrows, the soldiers opened the way, and the city was proclaimed, such a great glory was in front of them, but they lost the opportunity to have it from the beginning.

Heartbroken and regretful, seeing Shen Jinshan so happy to give out money, these people all hated him. Dig such a big hole for them to jump, but they come out of it. Want to be the first to compete? There are no doors!

So, in the surprised eyes of everyone, these businessmen who have followed Shen Jinshan for many years will all follow Hu Jiuling and launch a green chip.

"Ten taels."

"I'll give ten taels."

"Don't dare to compete with Master Shen, I will follow the crowd and follow ten taels."

With them taking the lead, the neutral businessmen who were originally hesitant to wait and see also raised the green signs in their hands.

In the first round of fundraising, except for Shen Jinshan, who stood out from the crowd, all the other businessmen invariably gave out ten taels of silver.

"What's going on?"

Such a clear and concise number that you don't need to remember it at all. However, Ah Yao worked seriously, and still found Shen Jinshan's name on the first piece of paper among the twenty-three merchants, wrote down "one hundred thousand" at the back, and then wrote a big "ten taels" in other blank spaces. After a few notes, she looked at the merchant next to her.

How could they turn to Daddy? What kind of medicine is sold in Brother Jing's gourd?

"Miss Hu, please announce the results." Shen Jinshan urged Ah Yao, he didn't care at all about the former alliance against the water. The businessman is very profitable, and when he becomes the head of the meeting, he does not worry that they will not be in a hurry to shout and stick up. His gaze swept over the people in the last seat, and he would let them know that he regretted it.

"Master Shen donated 100,000 taels of silver, please order arrows with gold medals, and the honor guard will open the road and report the good news along the street."

A-Yao picked up the gold medal, and it wasn't long before the gold medal was put down, and there was still a hint of warmth on it. Subconsciously looked at Brother Jing, who was sitting precariously, his face still with an official authority, and then she shifted her gaze and looked at Daddy a little nervously. Receiving her gaze, Daddy raised his head to give her a comforting look, and then his face was full of confidence, and she was finally a little relieved to see this.

Daddy must have a backhand, she thought.

But as this idea became less and less firm.

The roasted whole sheep was served, the cheerful sound of plucked and nagra drums sounded, and the dancing queens dressed in Western Regions specialties and wearing bell bracelets and anklets danced exotic dances, and the jingle bells combined with a pleasant tone, and the atmosphere in the entire Yunlai Building became more and more enthusiastic.

At the same time, rounds of fundraising are also going on, and after each start, Shen Jinshan will always take the lead in shouting out 100,000 taels, and Daddy is always the old god pushing out the green chips in front of him.

No more, no less, just ten taels.

If it weren't for the dancing enthusiasm of the dancing queen and the enthusiasm of the roasted whole sheep feast itself, the atmosphere would have been very embarrassing.

The rest of the people also followed suit and only donated ten taels, leaving Shen Jinshan to stand out from the crowd. A-Yao, who keeps the accounts, saves trouble, and only needs to draw the word "positive" under the first sheet. Drawing horizontal and vertical strokes, as Daddy launched the green chips again, she had already put together a "positive" word.

"Master Shen donated 100,000 taels of silver, please make the gold medal ...... arrows"

Repeating the exact same words, Ah Yao became more and more unable to keep her spirits up.

Diametrically opposed to her, as the government soldiers carried and relied on swaggering through the city again and again, beating gongs and drums and shouting "Shen Jinshan donates 100,000 taels of silver for the soldiers in the northwest", the news quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Qingcheng.

The master of the Shen family is so generous?

Once it was pretending, twice it was to slap the swollen face and fill the fat man, and the third time it was a full 300,000 taels of silver, a huge amount of money that ordinary people had never heard of, completely conquered the people of Qingcheng. No matter how Shen Jinshan behaves, at least it is a matter of family and country affairs, and people will never shirk it.

And by the time it was 400,000 or 500,000 taels, the people of Qingcheng had already begun to respect Shen Jinshan.

"What if you pick it again on weekdays? Extravagance or frugality are personal habits. It is related to the righteousness of the famous clan so open-mindedly, and this alone Master Shen is stronger than Master Hu. ”

"Master Shen is good, you don't need to use Master Lahu as a back, right?"

"100,000 taels of silver will be reported along the street, Master Shen has been five times, Master Hu is so rich but he refuses to give out even once, no one is allowed to say this?"

Although the fundraising is voluntary, no one can say that the money is wrong, but it is a bit unreasonable to refuse to give out the money once. The person who defended Hu Jiuling just now is speechless.

Ah Yao in Yunlai Building also thought of this, the roasted whole sheep has been divided, and it is almost noon to see that it is the last round of fundraising, what is Daddy thinking?

Not only him, but Shang Jia, who had made up his mind to follow Hu Jiuling, was also a little hesitant, and so far each of them had come out with fifty taels, although it was unlikely that this would be the case in the sixth round, but in case...... Sixty taels of silver, ordinary □□ and point, a meal is more than this amount, if it is really passed out, do they still want to be people?

Dad...... Ah Yao looked inside anxiously, but this time Ah Dad seemed to have no tacit understanding with her. Seeing that the dancing girl finished the last dance, she had to boldly announce: "The last round of fundraising, start!" ”

"Shen gave 100,000 taels." Like the previous five times, Shen Jinshan still took the lead.

At the same time, Hu Jiuling, who was in the focus of his sight, picked up the green chip again, and seeing this, Ah Yao's heart directly raised his throat.

"Hu is out of ten taels."

What the...... The audience was in an uproar, and even the retreating dancers stopped.

"Daddy!" Daddy couldn't help but shout, and then asked expectantly, "Are you kidding?" ”

When Hu Jiuling was out of ten taels before, Shen Jinshan had suspected that this old fox was playing some kind of ghost idea. Although he asked for such a large sum of cash yesterday, the huge Hu family would not be unable to take out 108,000 yuan. As he shouted "ten taels" five times, his doubts became heavier and heavier, until he reached the peak after the sixth time.

"Master Hu must be joking, who doesn't know that the Hu family is the richest in Qingcheng."

"Is Hu joking, Brother Shen shouldn't know best?" Hu Jiuling asked rhetorically, and then raised the green chip in his left hand in front of everyone: "If you say it, you will not regret it, Hu will donate these ten taels." ”

Sure enough, because of the silver he asked for yesterday? Although he was puzzled, after listening to him completely confirmed, Shen Jinshan finally put his mind at ease. At the same time, a sense of self-satisfaction for his resourcefulness rose in his heart.

Is it really only ten taels?

At this time, most of the businessmen present couldn't sit still, and the businessmen who were attached to the Hu family began to persuade one after another. Seeing that Hu Jiuling looked like he couldn't pull back nine cows, they had no choice but to give up.

"Brother Hu, I'm sorry, my Huang family can't afford to lose this person, I will donate 100,000 taels."

"I will also donate 100,000 taels."

Except for the merchants who were attached to the Shen family, most of the rest of the merchants donated 100,000 taels. Compared with the contradiction of the latter, the former is unusually happy. I thought I would lose face today, but I didn't expect that Master Hu would lose it with them. Master Hu has a lot of face, and with him in front, there must be nothing wrong with them, and several people thought gloatingly.

Depressed, Ayao wrote down the next blank roster. After all kinds of 100,000 taels, listening to Daddy, he still didn't change his words, trembling and writing the word "ten taels", and her depression reached its peak. Yu Guang looked at the gloating businessman next to her, and she was angry.

But as Daddy's daughter, she really doesn't have the face to ask.

Putting away the pen, she pulled herself together and looked ahead one last time. Just as he was about to say something, Shen Jinshan's voice sounded.

"Miss Hu, please announce the results?"

This will Shen Jinshan is proud, although many people have donated 100,000 taels, and the name of the good news will definitely be placed with him, but the first five times he was the leader. He could imagine the transformation of the people outside from suspicion to admiration to outright admiration after hearing his name again and again.

It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure.

This...... Ah Yao frowned, and opened her mouth very unwillingly: "That ......"

Before he could say the first word, Hu Jiuling, who had been sitting there all the time, standing still no matter how others persuaded him, suddenly spoke: "Slow, there are still people present who haven't donated." ”

Who? More than 20 businessmen looked at each other, and even Lu Jingyuan was a little puzzled. I was puzzled by Hu Jiuling's attitude, and I was even more puzzled about who was missing.

"There are no mistakes." After checking the roster, Ah Yao whispered.

It turned out to be her! Half a hall away, Lu Jingyuan, who was deaf and clear-sighted, heard Ah Yao's voice and instantly understood.

"Although A-Yao came to help Hou Ye keep accounts today, she is my daughter Hu Jiuling. During the apprenticeship ceremony that day, Hu said that in the future, all the Qi Qi of the Hu family will belong to A-Yao. But this child is too filial, even if the key to the treasury is on her, she has never had the heart to grasp the family property and drive my bad old man down. ”

Hu Jiuling's last sentence can be regarded as piercing the hearts of many businessmen who have sons and are already old. Unlike the Hu family, which has a single seedling in thousands of acres of land, most of them have a group of children. The girls are better, but the sons grow up and get married, and the long room, the second room, and the third room, intentionally or unintentionally, all focus on the family property. As they grow older and feel weak, they feel a heartfelt sense of anger and fear.

Holding the key to the warehouse without bringing anything? I can't even think of it in their home!

sighed like this in their hearts, but everyone understood that Hu Jiuling was planning to donate a big one for his daughter, which could be regarded as paving the way for her.

They were right, in Ah Yao's slightly confused gaze, Hu Jiuling looked at her with encouragement, and directly shouted out a number: "Ah Yao represents the Hu family and donates one million taels!" ”

One million taels! They couldn't get this amount even after pouring out their entire family property, and Master Hu really made a big move. Compared with him, Shen Jinshan's 100,000 taels again and again are so petty.

Shen Jinshan, who had not completely relaxed, was stunned, one million taels, just gave him thirty percent, where did Hu Jiuling get so much silver.

"Master Shen still needs to change?"

Hearing the little marquis's question, Shen Jinshan looked embarrassed. 600,000 taels was already the limit that the Shen family could come up with, and he originally wanted to donate this silver, and then take it from Hu Jiuling to continue to maintain the normal operation of the Shen family's silk village. I never thought that Hu Jiuling would suddenly come to such a hand, and he was directly caught off guard.

I have already invested 600,000 taels, do you want to give up lightly?

Today's Shen Jinshan is like a gambler who has lost a red eye, thinking of all the conveniences after becoming the head of the club, he gritted his teeth.

"Shen added another 500,000 taels, a full 1.1 million taels."

"One and a half million." Hu Jiuling shouted lightly.

"Six hundred and fifty thousand taels, one hundred and twenty thousand two hundred and fifty thousand."

"One million and three million."

"One million three hundred and fifty thousand."

"One million and four million." Can't help it, right? The smile on Hu Jiuling's lips grew.

If you can't go on like this, you'll be dragged to death. With a quick calculation in his heart, Shen Jinshan shouted: "One million and eight hundred thousand taels, Shen someone donated this amount in total, can Brother Hu pay it back?" ”

"Brother Shen is sure?" Hu Jiuling showed some surprise at the right time.

Sure enough, he was timid. The smell of roasting the whole sheep came to the fragrance, and the bell between the hands and feet of the dancing girl who had not yet retreated made a crisp sound, and the warm clouds came to the first floor of the building, and the warm atmosphere was especially there, and Shen Jinshan was a little less vigilant when he was immersed in it.

"Of course, no doubt."

"A-Yao, bring a pen and paper, and make a deed."

Daddy really didn't disappoint her, although she didn't fight for Shen Jinshan, but 1.4 million taels was not considered to have ruined the reputation of the Shen family. The mood got better again, Ah Yao handed over the pen and paper, Shen Jinshan made a promise with two strokes, and then slammed the matter on the spot.

After a qiē was completely confirmed, Hu Jiuling took out a deed from his sleeve: "I don't know if Brother Shen can recognize this thing?" ”
