Chapter Ninety-Three: Father and Son

Then, the Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and listened to the King of Shu continue: "Father, the son feels that Fan Yushi is right. "The royal family has no family, and in the face of the suffering of the common people, the sons and daughters think that the scholars also have no family affairs!"

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!"

"The wealth of the Erchen family can at most resettle the victims around Chang'an City."

"Erchen believes that his father can mobilize all the families and let them donate."

"Then, you can build a merit monument, and this inscription will be erected in the center of Chang'an City."

"Let future generations and grandchildren see the family that has contributed to the disaster victims today."

"This is just a little immature foolish opinion of the son, and I hope my father will decide."

Li Shimin's words made Li Shimin's eyes light up.

It's really wonderful, it's just wonderful!

This merit list is really amazing!

Because, this list can be seen by the people of the entire Chang'an City!

No!

With the passage of time, it will definitely be able to spread throughout the Tang Dynasty.

The five surnames and seven hopes have been passed down from generation to generation, and for them, word of mouth and fame are very important.

If they donate less, they will be engraved on the merit tablet, but they will be scolded by the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, this scolding may be hundreds of years.

Therefore, as soon as the merit monument strategy came out, this disaster relief was almost successfully completed.

The five surnames and Qiwang and other wealthy families are inevitably indispensable.

And Fan Tong in the court, when he heard this merit list plan of the King of Shu, the roots of his angry teeth itched, and a mouthful of old blood was so hung that he spit it out.

This strategy is really lacking in morality!

In this era, there is no such term as moral kidnapping.

But what the King of Shu did was moral kidnapping.

Especially if you engage in moral kidnapping, why do you want to take me with you?

In this way, those rich people who are forced to donate donate, don't all hate me?

……

Li Shimin waved his hand and immediately made a decision, announcing the establishment of a meritorious monument in the center of Chang'an City.

All the noble families of the Tang Dynasty, all disaster relief donations, will be engraved on the tablet, remembering the merits, for future generations to pay homage to.

As soon as this decree was issued, the nobles of the world's families immediately gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

For them, giving is a must-donation.

But how much to donate is the question.

First of all, it is impossible to donate too little.

This is to be engraved on the merit tablet, and if you donate too little, you will inevitably be scolded by future generations.

However, you can't be the wrongdoer, donating too much.

The best way to do this is for them to negotiate a number, and everyone will donate the same.

In this way, they can reduce the losses to a minimum.

After some discussion, the five surnames and seven wangs finally decided that each family would donate 10,000 yuan.

In ancient times, the word "Wanguan" was usually used to describe the wealthy.

That is to say, if a family has 10,000 pieces of furniture, then it is a great wealth.

Therefore, 10,000 yuan is already a huge amount of money in this era.

Of course, for the five surnames and seven wangs and other families, this number is still a bit shabby.

However, the five surnames and seven hopes are not good men and women.

This donation was not something they were willing to donate in the first place.

They have just been kidnapped by morality.

10,000 is nothing to them, and it can give an explanation to the people, which is a suitable number.

However, just as they were about to donate, suddenly, a message came out.

Before them, the king of Shu donated 100,000 guan of money plus 10,000 denier of grain.

This news directly stunned the five surnames and seven wangs.

This King of Shu, is he a hero or a fool?

So honest?

If you donate all your property, will you really donate it all?

But what do we do if you donate it all?

They have five dignified surnames and seven hopes, if they are compared to the king of Shu!

Or with ten times their numbers, in a crushing way.

Then they are really going to be scolded to death.

Moreover, the King of Shu not only donated 100,000 yuan but also 10,000 denier of grain.

People are also responsible for the food, clothing and daily life of the victims near Chang'an City!

As the biggest wealthy family in the Tang Dynasty and the most wealthy family, they must at least surpass the King of Shu!

So, after some negotiations.

With tears in his eyes, the five surnames and seven hopes turned the donated money into 150,000 yuan, and also donated 10,000 deniers of food.

There are seven families with five surnames and seven wangs, and if each family has 150,000 guan, there will be as many as 1 million guan!

At the same time, there are 70,000 deniers of grain.

With this figure alone, there is already a surplus in this disaster relief effort.

What's more, there are other families and donations from merchants?

Therefore, this time the disaster relief, instead of having any problems, will have a surplus.

……

In the palace, Tang Emperor Li Shimin was in the Hanxiang Palace, drinking with Li Su, the king of Shu, and Concubine Yang was beside him.

This kind of situation is really too rare.

In addition to sacrifices, festivals, and celebrations, the emperor feasted his ministers.

Tang Emperor Li Shimin basically has no experience of drinking alone with any prince.

The emperor and the prince, although it is a father-son relationship, are also a monarch and a minister.

They rarely have the opportunity to be able to sit and drink together alone.

And today, Li Shimin is so happy and excited.

Because Li Su's idea of today's merit list is really wonderful, it can be said that it kills multiple birds with one stone.

First of all, it is to be able to solve the disaster relief problem perfectly.

This time, just the money and food donated by the five surnames and Qiwang exceeded the task.

Not to mention, there will be a steady stream of disaster relief materials delivered in the future.

These materials can not only satisfactorily solve the disaster relief work, but also have a large surplus, which can fill the national treasury.

Secondly, this time, you can also take the opportunity to strike at the five surnames and seven hopes.

Li Shimin has long seen that the five surnames and seven looks are not pleasing to the eye, and he has long wanted to suppress the five surnames and seven hopes.

Originally, Li Shimin was also going to order someone to arrange a family tree to achieve the goal of suppressing the five surnames and seven hopes.

But now that you have a merit list, you don't need it at all!

Because Li Su next, there is still a sassy routine that has not been performed.

"Father, on the merit list, you can engrave the son's donation of 200,000 guan, and the second place can be engraved with the donation of 180,000 guan by the Kong family, the donation of 170,000 guan by the eldest grandson's family, and the donation of 160,000 guan by Cheng Yanjin!"

"After ranking the five surnames and seven wangs to ten, for hundreds of years after that, let all the people see what the five surnames and seven wangs are."

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Wonderful, wonderful! You're so good at this plan! Come, Father and Emperor give you a drink! ”

Li Su hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said, "Father, the sons respect you, the sons respect you!" ”

"By the way, father, do you think it is appropriate for the sons to donate?"
