Ram was dumbfounded, she had never thought that she could solve charity problems in this way.

For a long time, the queen has implemented these policies that benefit the people with the money saved from the palace treasury, the money from the palace transactions, and even the queen has used the vine clan trading house and the palace trading house to make money. However, he didn't think to go over to collect donations from the rich families all over the city.

Chen Wenhui had already shocked Ram by doing this, and what she said next shocked Ram even more. Chen Wenhui said: "In fact, Her Majesty's virtuous and benevolent government can not only help the poor people who are suffering and have no place to live, but also all the businesses here. ”

Everyone didn't believe what he said, and a rich businessman couldn't help but ask: "What does it have to do with us to help those poor people who are sloppy and numerous?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I have also lived in Fugui Township since I was a child in Dachu, and I have never lived a poor life. Originally, I would never have dealt with these poor people for the rest of my life. However, when our family is doing business, it is natural to hire people to do the work. When the business grows bigger, I find that there is not enough manpower. If only there were more people in the city, there would be more workshops in my family. We can weave more fine silk, and we can trade more goods with you, and make more money. ”

As soon as these words were said, the wealthy businessmen present all thought that the large number of high-grade silk and fine porcelain brought by the Zhao family firm this time had already set off a storm in the market, and many ladies and girls could not buy them with money. They all complained, why can't the Zhao family firm bring more silk? So I was very touched when I heard this. Instead, I thought of my own workshop, my business. If there were more people, more people hired to take care of herbs, more people who went up the mountain to collect herbs, and more people who farmed, it would not be more output, and more things could be sold to the Zhao family. Well, what Mrs. Zhao said also makes sense.

Chen Wenhui continued: "But why did those poor people come to the city? Although you can find a job in the city and make some money, but. They don't have a place to live. Sleeping on the street every day, the wind and rain blow, the body is not good, and I can only wait for death. Why are they coming? If only they had a place to live. Even if it's just a simple house. It can only shelter from the wind and rain. They will be able to continue to live in the city, and they will go to various trading houses to work in order to eat, and earn money for food. Naturally, everyone's business will be fine. The more money you make. You can also buy a few more pieces of beautiful silk from Da Chu, and you can buy two more pieces of exquisite porcelain. ”

After hearing this, the rich businessmen present also exchanged their heads and ears, and the chief steward of the Qin Ren Commercial Bank was also here, and after hearing this, he groaned slightly, and raised his voice and said: "I, the Qin Ren Commercial Bank, also donated five hundred taels of silver to His Royal Highness Ram to build houses for the poor people. ”

This made everyone present have a good impression of the Qin people's firm. With the leadership of Qinren Commercial Bank, the wealthy businessmen present donated one after another. These people have a lot more money than the ladies and girls. Some donated two hundred taels, some donated three hundred taels, and for a while, the silver tickets around Princess Ram increased again.

In the end, the owner of the banquet, bowed his fat head, and thought for a while, anyway, the tap of this ring match was also made in vain, and he made a total of more than two thousand taels of silver. It is better to be generous, and he raised his voice and said, "I will also donate two thousand taels of silver." ”

This is a big donation second only to the Zhao family firm. All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on the host of the banquet. The host of the banquet was a wealthy Miao businessman, and he immediately felt satisfied, and felt that these two thousand taels of silver were really a place. You might as well do more of this in the future.

Ram couldn't help but be happy when he looked at the silver tickets of various denominations piled up in front of him, and couldn't help but admire Chen Wenhui in his heart. This Mrs. Zhao didn't expect to have such insight and eloquence, no wonder a talent like Steward Zhao doted on her. It can be seen that she is not only beautiful. In this way, my mind is even more difficult.

The sour love flashed by. Princess Ram, who has been cultivated as a crown prince since she was a child, is still very clear about her responsibilities. She was very happy to praise the Miao rich businessman a few words, and praised the rich businessmen, ladies and girls who were present to donate. Everyone was very happy to receive the praise of the princess, and it was really a joy for the guests and hosts.

Of course, there are still some people who are unhappy. These are the people from the Blue Clan. They did not donate, but also lost the second warrior of the clan, and also lost a lot of money, so naturally their faces were gloomy. Especially when many people in the crowd started talking. Looking at the Qin people's business house, they also donated five hundred taels of silver, which is second only to the banquet host and the Zhao family's caravan, but as the six major clans, the Lan clan is really untouchable, which is really bad.

Hearing this, Wu Lilan was very angry, turned around and walked out.

Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi smiled.

This matter is not the end. When Princess Ram returned to the palace with a huge amount of silver tickets that day to pay her respects to the queen and the patriarch of the Bai clan. The Queen was so pleased that she decreed that anyone who made a donation on the day should go to the palace and receive a jar of wine from the palace, which the Queen had offered. It's a small thing, but it's an honor. On that day, all the donors sent or personally went to the palace to receive wine. Chen Wenhui also sent someone to get an altar.

This matter, because of the queen's reward, quickly spread throughout the city of Guangzhou. The huge number of poor people saw that they would be able to live in houses, because the queen acted very quickly, and when she had money, she began to order building materials from the merchants, recruit workers, divide the land, and start building simple houses. Seeing the hope, the poor people praised the queen's virtue and thanked the rich merchants and nobles who attended the banquet that day.

The rich merchants who were praised by the people were very happy, originally they had no intersection with the poor, but now those simple poor people spontaneously offered a bouquet of wild flowers or a few eggs to the door of these rich merchants, although the things were not worth anything, they still made these rich merchants very happy.

In particular, most of the wealthy merchants who dealt in building materials participated in the banquet, but they donated a few hundred taels of silver, but because of the queen's purchase, they earned it back several times. The mood is naturally very good.

Compared with these people, the Lan clan is disliked by the people and wealthy merchants all over the city. They are the only ones who do not pluck a dime, and they are naturally spurned by the people, and they are also despised by those rich merchants.

There was even a phenomenon that some of the people in the Chamber of Commerce in the workshop run by the Lan clan automatically quit their jobs and went to work for those kind businessmen. The workshop of the Lan clan, the Chamber of Commerce suddenly faced a dilemma.

These nobles of the Lan clan complained to the patriarch Lan Si one after another. Lens was overwhelmed. can't help but complain a lot about Lan Ling and Wu Lilan, it's all caused by this mother and son, it's really a pair of-stirring sticks.

Lan Si lost his temper with Lan Ling and Wu Li Lan, where did Lan Ling suffer such grievances, as a great elder, she has always been used to being strong, and she quarreled with Lan Si, Lan Si became more and more angry, and in anger, she stopped spoiling the first lady Lan Ling, and went to live in the courtyard of the concubine Lan Mei. Lan Ling hated it and regarded it as a great shame, originally the little concubine Lan Mei had never put it in her heart, because she was beautiful, had a noble status, and gave birth to a son who was angry. However, now, she suddenly found that her once beautiful face had climbed into wrinkles, and Lan Mei was indeed younger and more beautiful than herself, so Lan Si turned to the concubine, Lan Ling was caught off guard for a while, and she could only say to Wu Lilan resentfully: "Son, the Zhao family firm has insulted us enough, you must kill Steward Zhao in the ring." ”

Wu Lilan frowned and said, "Don't worry, I'm not the Lan Roar who only has brute strength, I will definitely be able to defeat Steward Zhao." Our attackers should have followed the Zhao family's caravan towards Shaocheng, right? ”

At the mention of this Lan Ling, she was very happy, and she said, "Don't worry, follow it tightly." Our people have been enduring it, just waiting to go to the Lingnan Mountains to completely annihilate this caravan and get those goods of great value. ”

Wu Lilan's eyes showed hatred, and he said, "Hmph, isn't the Zhao family's caravan rich?" Spending a lot of money, spending a lot of money, I want to see if they can afford to lose such a huge cargo. ”

Chen Wenhui in the inn here was asking Shui Lian, Shui Hong, Luo Ding, and Lu Yu: "How are you practicing in all aspects of water sex recently?" ”

Luo Ding hurriedly replied: "It's already very sure underwater." ”

Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi nodded. Zhao Chongyi said: "Show me the map of the palace again." ”

Shui Hong hurriedly sent the map up. Zhao Chongyi asked: "Have you memorized this map?" ”

Shui Hong hurriedly replied: "We have all memorized it by heart. ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded and said to Chen Wenhui: "In this way, we can act, and it will be time to go to the palace for a banquet in two or three days." This time, our guards outside the mountain came over, and they also brought news from outside the mountain. In the capital, the emperor is seriously ill, and he wants to come to support this time for a short time. If something happens, we'll have to rush back. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, we are running out of time. There are also many things to arrange in the capital. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Although the prince's position is stable, I am always a little worried and want to go back to help the prince at this critical juncture." ”

Chen Wenhui knew that Zhao Chongyi and Liu Yan had been friends since childhood, although they were a little vigilant in their hearts because their respective positions had changed in recent years, but Zhao Chongyi's mood of defending the prince had not changed. Chen Wenhui can understand this very well, why is she still thinking about Lan Caiyu, Mingzhu and other little sisters. It's the same feeling. Although Chen Wenhui has never had a good impression of the crown prince Liu Yan, for the sake of Zhao Chongyi, she still said: "As soon as the matter is over, we will go back to the capital as soon as possible." Don't worry about those goods and the like, naturally there are entourages who will handle them well. ”

Zhao Chongyi was very pleased with Chen Wenhui's understanding, but his worried eyes couldn't help but look in the direction of the capital. (To be continued......)
