Chapter 229: Donating money everywhere
The three princes, so far, one of them donated 100,000 taels of silver.
The third prince was angry, and the fifth prince was angry.
The Seven Princes are awesome!
At this moment, he felt that he had more face.
I am not worse than the fifth, or even worse than the third!
He is also a prince who can donate 100,000 taels, isn't it?
Therefore, looking up triumphantly, as if standing out from the crowd, looking down on everyone.
only to find that some people seemed to look at him like fools.
What do you mean? Shouldn't it be admired?
He was stunned and looked at the emperor.
The emperor rubbed his forehead at this moment, a little worried.
These sons met Chen Xiao, and Zhen Nima was more stupid than the other.
In a few words, the manpower was out of 100,000 taels of silver.
Especially the Seventh Prince, this is obviously digging a pit for him, and he still has to jump in, and if he doesn't let him jump in, Chen Xiao looks down on him.
This made the emperor even feel a little distressed, why was there such a fool left?
Could it not be biological?
He even had that thought!
The Seven Princes realized it later, and gradually, they finally reacted.
His face suddenly looked ugly, and he thought: It's over, didn't you say that you had no money if you were killed? What's going on?
It's useless to regret it.
The emperor agreed, the fundraiser was Chen Xiao, in the main hall, every word was spoken, how could he regret it?
At this moment, he wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to show it, only tears, quietly flowing down from the corners of his eyes......
Chen Xiao couldn't help laughing, and when he saw that the three princes were pitted one by one, he looked at all the ministers present.
Just now, the pit has been planted for the ministers.
Ministers can't donate anymore.
So Chen Xiao said: "Ministers, that is, the pillars of the Dragon Kingdom, so if the country is in trouble, can you be generous?" ”
How can this be refused? Where is Your Majesty sitting?
As a result, the ministers expressed their loyalty and said that they should donate money.
So, Chen Xiao walked to the front and said, "Then, please ask the ministers to stand up in order, report the names of their official positions one by one, and the amount of donations, so that I can register them." ”
A eunuch came out and stood beside Chen Xiao with a notebook and pen.
The ministers' faces were ugly, ya, Chen Xiao not only kidnapped everyone to donate money in the main hall, but also asked everyone to donate in public?
At this time, why are you embarrassed to donate less?
In fact, this trick was learned by Chen Xiao from the head teacher when he was studying.
I remember when I was studying, I donated here and where I went.
Go up one by one, not give money immediately, go up first and say how much to donate, and the head teacher writes them down one by one.
Wait until you get home and ask your parents for it, and the class leader will accept it next week.
Everyone must be curious, why didn't you donate at that time?
Because at that time, the students didn't have much money...... You know!
So why, how much do you have to register in advance when you go up to donate at the beginning? I went one by one, and it was so grand.
And when you pay the money, just give it to the squad leader? So whatever?
The reason is very simple, when they go up one by one to say how much to donate, everyone wants to be faced, and they don't want to be embarrassed, so they try to say as much as possible.
When I go home, I want to fight with my parents again.
When the money is paid, it has been determined how much money you want to give, it doesn't matter anymore, just give the money!
This is the moral kidnapping that many people inadvertently encounter.
In this case, who doesn't have a little bit of self-esteem?
So, to die is to face and suffer sin, and the taste has changed!
Chen Xiao's heart is dark, but he can't do anything to pit children and students.
But this Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials, which one has not been greedy? He cheated these people, and he didn't have a burden in his heart!
The ministers were speechless, and some of the first-class officials at the front helplessly went to the middle and spoke:
"Prime Minister Zuo...... Donate 50,000 taels of silver......"
Fifty thousand taels is okay, Chen Xiao didn't say anything.
The right prime minister also came out: "The right prime minister is 50,000 taels ......"
With these two first-class leaders, the back, Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, etc., are all 50,000 taels.
After a while, the second-grade officials were 34,000 yuan.
Then three products, 230,000.
Four products, generally 20,000 taels.
Five and six products are also out.
These are of low rank, and very few can go to the early dynasty.
In half an hour, more than 200 humanities and military officials all donated, a full 4 million taels of silver.
plus Chen Xiao's 500,000 taels and the three princes' 300,000 taels, a total of 4.8 million taels.
At the beginning, the emperor said that he would raise five million taels.
There are still 200,000 taels left.
But it's already awesome.
It's a full five million taels of silver, and it's almost 200,000 taels in such a short time, and the emperor admires it very much.
"Chen Xiao, there are still 200,000 taels left, these 200,000 taels, I will find a way!" The Emperor spoke.
Chen Xiao said: "No need, Your Majesty, the ladies of the harem...... Don't worry about eating and drinking, there is money, Your Majesty doesn't mind, I'll let them donate, right? ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, this guy has hit the idea on my woman?
However, it is not easy to object, saying: "They should also do something!" ”
Chen Xiao smiled.
At this point, the early dynasty is almost over.
So he retreated!
Today's retreat from the dynasty is particularly strange.
Many ministers looked at Chen Xiao dissatisfied, as if they were very unhappy with Chen Xiao because of the donation.
Chen Xiaocai didn't care about their emotions, took the eunuch who kept the accounts, and happily went to the harem.
The ministers didn't know what he was happy about when they saw him like this.
Have you forgotten that you promised to give 500,000 taels?
……
When he arrived at the harem, Chen Xiao first went to the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine has a very high status in the harem, basically the highest status among her peers.
In the harem all these years, there was no palace.
This imperial concubine is actually similar to the queen in everyone's eyes many times.
And the emperor's eldest son, the brave and warlike prince, is her son.
After Chen Xiao arrived at the imperial concubine, he indicated that he was from!
The imperial concubine was expressionless, and directly asked people to take 30,000 taels of silver.
From beginning to end, he didn't pay attention to or even look at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao doesn't care, just give money.
So, I went to Concubine Hui's place.
Hu Guifei was demoted to Hu Zhaoyi, and among the emperor's women, Concubine Hui should be the second.
Her son is the second prince!
It can be seen that the more capable the prince is, the higher his mother's title.
Concubine Hui's attitude towards Chen Xiao was also average, and she gave 30,000 taels of silver and sent Chen Xiao away.
Then there is Concubine Shu, who has a grudge against Chen Xiao.
His son, the fifth prince, was cheated by Chen Xiao, and he and Concubine Hu Zhaoyi also went to the Queen Mother to clean up Chen Xiao, but they were counted down by the Queen Mother.
At this moment, she was naturally unhappy to see Chen Xiao come to ask her to raise money.
But after a few official words from Chen Xiao, he showed that it was the emperor's intention, and the concubine had no choice but to give money.
All the way down, Chen Xiao arrived at Concubine Yu's Zhuang Ning Pavilion.
As soon as I got to the door, I heard that the Seven Princes had come back and were crying.
