Chapter 45: Rewarding People (Part 2)
Everyone was in an uproar. You must know that Lan Roar is the second warrior of the Lan Clan in the Lan Clan, and he is considered a top master among the entire Baiyi people. Now he actually let a little-known Great Chu caravan guard defeat Qing Yiyi, and he was defeated so simply, so neatly, so thoroughly, that he even lost his life.
However, the people of Baiyi are very wild, and Lan Roar's death did not make them sad, and it is common for people to die in such a ring match. On the contrary, the loss of powerful lives has further stimulated these Baiyi nobles. They cheered and poured into the ring, and many enthusiastic and bold Baiyi girls threw flattering eyes at Liang Li, and even touched Liang Li's body. Liang Li was a little confused.
Zhao Chongyi and Chen Wenhui smiled. At this time, the host of the banquet, who was sweating profusely, squeezed in front of the two people, holding a large handful of silver tickets in his hand, and said: "Steward Zhao, the silver you won in this matter, as well as the silver you bet before, a total of 10,000 taels, but, according to the rules, I took 1,000 taels out, and here is 9,000 taels." ”
Zhao Chongyi nodded, and did not accept the silver ticket, but was full of energy, and shouted into the field: "Liang Li, come back." ”
Liang Li hurriedly pushed away the enthusiastic Baiyi girl, quickly turned over and got out of the ring, and came to Zhao Chongyi's side. Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "Liang Li, you have worked hard, you take the nine thousand taels of silver tickets, you will reward you with two thousand taels, and the rest will be divided among the brothers, and the brothers who were injured before will also be shared." Everybody's worked hard. ”
Liang Li immediately got two thousand taels of silver tickets, and was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, and got the silver tickets from the banquet host. The host of the banquet was stunned for a moment, although all the people present were rich. However, there is really no one who can casually take out nine thousand taels of silver to reward people.
Although Zhao Chongyi did not say these words, because Liang Li got out of the ring, although everyone's attention was focused on Liang Li, they naturally heard Zhao Chongyi's words. Suddenly, the people present were shocked by Zhao Chongyi's extravagant arrogance, nine thousand taels of silver, and everyone present took it out. But. If you take out nine thousand taels of silver and reward them to the guards, it will be unlikely. Although, of the nine thousand taels of silver, four thousand taels were won. But. There are also 5,000 taels out of his pocket.
The Baiyi nobles present couldn't help but praise each other. Da Chu is really a rich place, and the merchants of Da Chu are really luxurious. Hearing these words, the blue clan's standing blue qi trembled. Originally. Lan Roar's death had already made him very angry. Especially because he lost the ring match, he couldn't get up and down. Then I felt sorry for the five thousand taels of silver. Although he is the young master of the Lan Clan, the Lan Clan is not very rich, and five thousand taels of silver is definitely a big number.
When Wu Lilan was distressed about the five thousand taels of silver, Zhao Chongyi waved his hand and actually rewarded the nine thousand taels of silver with interest. This almost caused Wu Lilan to suffer internal injuries again. The hatred for Zhao Chongyi in my heart has reached the extreme.
The host of the banquet was stunned for a moment, remembering that he still had a few stacks of silver tickets in his hand, so he hurriedly walked in front of Princess Ram and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness Ram, your capital is one thousand taels of silver, and you won one thousand taels of silver, and I took away two hundred taels of silver, and here are silver tickets of one thousand eight hundred taels of silver." Please keep it away. ”
Ram subconsciously reached out and took it himself. It was still very happy for her to earn eight hundred taels of silver. However, she suddenly thought of Zhao Chongyi's extravagant behavior just now, and the kind of aristocratic spirit of others did not take the silver ticket in person. Although she didn't have the generosity to take the 1,800 taels of silver tickets to reward people, she couldn't take it herself. After all, she is still a princess.
Ram gestured to the maid who was following him, and the maid was still bright-eyed, and hurriedly took the silver ticket from the hand of the banquet host.
While receiving the silver ticket, Ram inadvertently saw his sister Chemu. I saw that my sister was frustrated, and after thinking about it, I understood, my sister was distressed and lost three thousand taels of silver. Although they are princesses, they don't have much money in their hands, and the three thousand taels of silver are probably the ones my sister has accumulated for a long time.
Although Ram was angry that his sister was towards the Wu Lilan of the Lan clan, this was his own sister after all, and he still felt sorry for her, so he said to her: "You know that you feel sorry for the silver at this time, right?" Why did you go earlier? If you let your mother know that you are towards the people of the Blue Clan, will you discount your legs? Take the eight hundred taels of silver, and use them first. The three thousand taels of silver are gone, and it is not convenient for you. With these eight hundred taels, although it is not comparable to the loss, it will not be exposed to my mother in the short term. ”
Chen Wenhui was very close to Sister Ram because she was standing, and when she overheard these words, she couldn't help but praise in her heart, although Ram hated it, she still knew how to love her sister.
Where do you know, Che Mu said, "Thank you, sister." After speaking, he took the 800 silver tickets, and said while putting them in his sleeve: "Sister, don't sue my mother." Mother has always disliked the Blue Clan. However, isn't the Lan Clan also the nation of our Baiyi people? We are all children of a great god, why would my mother and sister rather believe in the Chu people, believe in the Qin people than believe in the Lan tribe? I think the Blue Clan is good. The Chu and Qin people are our enemies. ”
Chen Wenhui couldn't help but squint her eyes when she heard this. This Che Mu is really a nasty person, and she is still good-looking in vain, which is really ruined.
Ram frowned when he heard this, and immediately whispered, "Who sued you for this?" It must have been said by Wu Lilan. Hmph, tell you to have less contact with him, and you won't listen. In the future, you are not allowed to associate with the Lan clan. ”
Chemu pouted and said nothing.
Chen Wenhui couldn't help frowning, only to realize that the host of the banquet was already standing beside him, talking about something. She couldn't help but be embarrassed, she had just been distracted by eavesdropping on the chat of other sisters, and she didn't notice what the host of the banquet was talking to her.
Chen Wenhui remained silent, glanced at it, and followed the water red. Shui Hong is very smart, at a glance, he knew that his master must have been distracted just now, so he didn't hear what the host of the banquet said, at this moment everyone's eyes were focused here, Shui Hong walked over generously, took the silver ticket from the host of the banquet, quickly counted it, and told Chen Wenhui and said: "Mrs. Qiyu, there are a total of 12,800 taels of silver tickets here." We put in more than 7,000 taels of silver, and turned back more than 7,000 taels of silver, and after removing the taps, it was exactly 12,800 taels of silver. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Okay, eight hundred taels of silver, take out two hundred taels and reward them to the people at today's banquet." and six hundred taels of silver shall be given to your sisters who serve, and to some of your stewards. Finally, the 12,000 taels of silver were sent to His Highness Ram. ”
Ram heard a little strange, how did he give the money to himself?
At this time, Chen Wenhui came to Ram's side, gave a blessing and said: "Your Royal Highness Ram, I have not been in Guangzhou City for a long time, but I have also heard some good governance of Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty the Queen cared for the inhabitants of the impoverished city of Guangzhou, especially those who could not even afford to build a house. Her Majesty the Queen built a house for them. However, because of the problem of money, only a few houses can be built every year, which is far from enough for the poor people. I was touched by Her Majesty's love for the people. Therefore, I would like to ask Her Royal Highness the princess to transfer this more than 10,000 taels of silver to Her Majesty the queen for me to build houses for those people. ”
As soon as he said this, the Baiyi people and Qin nobles at the entire banquet were shocked, and they were all moved by Chen Wenhui's spending money and kindness, and they all praised each other.
Ram was even more overjoyed, building houses for the poor was something the queen had been doing. In the royal palace, every year the money saved is invested in this project. However, the economy of southern Xinjiang is underdeveloped, and the money that can be used for this project is too small, so the project has been carried out for many years, but the results are not great. This is a piece of the queen's heart. As the crown prince, Ram helps his mother take care of government affairs, and he often worries about this matter.
Now there are more than 10,000 taels of silver at once, although it is still a lot less than the total number, but it is much more than the money invested in this project every year.
Ram said happily, "Thank you Mrs. Zhao for your kind donation. Although this more than 10,000 taels of silver cannot completely solve the housing problem of the poor people in the entire city of Guangzhou, it can already build a lot of bamboo buildings, and at least 10,000 poor people will not sleep on the streets. On behalf of the people of southern Xinjiang and the people of Guangzhou, I would like to thank Mrs. Zhao. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled slightly.
Ram is really a qualified crown prince, and then, Ram gave an impromptu speech here, talking about the pity of the people who sleep on the streets of Guangzhou, and also about the children of those people who are sick because they sleep on the streets, and they cannot be treated, so they can only die miserably. The success touched the noble ladies and girls present and earned some tears.
At this time, Chen Wenhui felt that for the sake of Ram was still very kind, she decided to help Ram, she said: "What His Royal Highness Ram said is too touching. In fact, if we eat a little less meat at every meal, eat one less fish, make one less skirt on weekdays, and buy one less hairpin, it will be enough for these poor people to build a house, save a family, and make many poor people's children get sick and die less young. This is a good deed for accumulating virtue and doing good. The gods are above, and they will definitely give us good fortune. I decided to donate another 2,000 taels of silver to His Highness Ram and ask her to help us use the money for those people in need. ”
In this way, the ladies and girls who were already very moved at the scene all donated generously, you donate one hundred taels, she donates fifty taels, and it adds up. After a while, His Highness Ram had accumulated a bunch of silver tickets around him. (To be continued......)
