Chapter 228: Fundraising
When everyone heard it, Chen Xiao was actually willing to carry this pot?
To be honest, it is really far-fetched to buckle this pot on Chen Xiao's body.
But if Chen Xiao retorted a few words, as long as everyone is not stupid, there is really no way to pull this matter on him.
However, he didn't refute it, and that unforgiving mouth was surprisingly unjustifiable today.
Moreover, he also confessed to it.
It's a bit weird.
The emperor was a little confused, looked at Chen Xiao and said, "You...... Actually admit that it's your fault? ”
"Admit it, everyone says I'm wrong, so it's wrong?"
Chen Xiao was very serious, and his voice was full of calmness.
The emperor frowned and wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say.
The third prince sneered and said: "Since Lord Chen also admitted that it was his own fault, then, this food for disaster relief, isn't it, it should be up to Lord Chen to find a way to solve it!" ”
"No problem, it's a little meaning, this should be. What is inside, I will first express my position, and I will carry the pot, so I am willing to take 400,000 taels of silver as compensation for the trouble caused by my premature disposal of the household department this time.
In addition, I personally donated another 100,000 taels of silver to the disaster area. I knew that this money was not enough, so I would like to be the fundraiser for this disaster relief fundraiser and be responsible for getting people to donate! ”
Chen Xiao said it lightly, and moreover, he said it very clearly.
400,000 taels as a personal donation, and 100,000 taels as a personal donation.
In addition, the rest of the money, he found a way to raise and let people raise donations!
These words directly stunned everyone.
The emperor was also moved, and said, "You have ...... 500,000 taels? ”
"Scrape together, smash the pot and sell iron, and you can get it." Chen Xiao said.
"You think clearly!" The emperor reminded.
Chen Xiao said: "Think clearly! ”
The emperor said, "Well, then, I'll leave the donation to you!" ”
The third prince arched his hand to Chen Xiao: "Okay, Lord Chen is arrogant, and this prince admires it." ”
Chen Xiao glanced at the third prince and said, "You can't just admire it, I carried the pot, and I gave an extra 100,000 taels of donations." As a prince, didn't you say anything about the disaster area? Or are you just talking about it here? ”
The third prince's eyes narrowed, and he snorted, and his momentum was not lost: "This prince ...... Donate 30,000 taels of silver to the disaster area! ”
Chen Xiao looked disdainful: "The prince of the royal family, not as much as my courtier?" Who said on the street that day that he was a royal family, I was a minister, and the world belonged to the royal family. ”
Speaking of this, Chen Xiao looked at the three princes with his hands:
"In the world of this royal family, in addition to the disaster now, one of my courtiers has gone bankrupt to help, but as a prince, he has paid so much, which is chilling!"
"Besides, this kind of thing happened, and the household department couldn't come up with the money for the time being, and the officials donated an extra 100,000 taels of silver in addition to compensation. This Manchu Dynasty civil and military naturally has to donate.
I have set a good example for everyone, but Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, as a member of the royal family, you only donate so much, this is ...... Let the ministers behind, how is it good. ”
These words not only made the third prince's face ugly, but at the same time, it also made many ministers jump in their hearts.
When are they going to donate money, they wondered?
Ah, Chen Xiao is playing moral kidnapping, and he represents everyone.
The problem is, no one dares to say anything.
People donated so much, and they also carried 400,000 yuan, and these ministers were really driven by Chen Xiao to put them on the shelves all of a sudden.
Therefore, I feel that I can't donate anymore.
The emperor also admired Chen Xiao, although Chen Xiao was bleeding heavily this time, but, in a few words, the entire hundred officials had to donate, so the materials and food needed in the disaster area would not be a big problem!
The three princes were angry in their hearts.
I thought it was enough to choke Chen Xiao, but who knew that now I was also pulled into troubled waters by Chen Xiao.
Now that he has been brought to the moral high ground by Chen Xiao, he doesn't say it, how can he step down today?
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, this prince...... Donate 100,000 taels too! ”
As soon as the words came out, I regretted it.
100,000 taels, his entire net worth is only tens of thousands of taels.
This is still the result of him holding the palace and receiving various benefits outside.
The rest of the money, needless to say, has to ask his mother for it.
Chen Xiao smiled, and then looked at the five princes and the seven princes present!
When these two people saw Chen Xiao looking over, their faces turned green.
"The Five Princes?" Chen Xiao shouted:
"Don't be silent, the three princes have all donated."
The five princes are angry, they really want to go up and kill Chen Xiao.
I watched the play here without saying a word, and I was stunned by Chen Xiao.
So he coughed: "This prince really doesn't have much money, donate 50,000 taels ......"
Chen Xiao grinned and shook his head: "Tsk, people are more popular than people...... How does this compare? The same prince...... The gap between people is so big, how can it be so big......"
"Don't say it, 100,000 taels ......" The fifth prince's face turned pale.
Chen Xiao smiled: "It's a man!" ”
Immediately after, he looked at the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince was so nervous in his heart, he had already thought about how to deal with Chen Xiao's next words.
Anyway, he doesn't have much money, and the last 100,000 taels wanted to buy the secret recipe for winemaking, but he was deceived by Chen Xiao, and now it's very miserable.
Therefore, he swore in his heart that no matter what Chen Xiao said today, no matter what Chen Xiao said, he would find something to refute.
Who knows, Chen Xiao looked at the Seventh Prince with pitiful eyes, and then shook his head: "Alas...... Forget it......"
The Seventh Prince was stunned, and then became angry: "What do you call me to forget it?" Do you look down on people? ”
Chen Xiao said: "No, how could it be, alas, but what about your situation, everyone understands, it's okay, everyone understands you!" ”
"What do you mean? Just look down on me? I'm also a prince, and you despise me so much? "The Seven Princes are angry.
He could accept that Chen Xiao asked him to take the money, but he found a reason to prevaricate and refuse.
But he definitely can't accept Chen Xiao and forget it directly, what do you mean? Is Chen Xiao pitying himself?
I am also a prince anyway, but I am so despised and pitied?
Shameless yourself?
"I'm not looking down on you, you're poor!" Chen Xiao looked at the Seventh Prince with pitiful eyes.
As if, looking at a beggar.
It's more like saying again: let beggars donate money, where is this okay? You have to donate money to the beggars!
The seventh prince blushed and had a thick neck: "You don't look down on people, do you think this prince is miserable?" Do you think this prince is so unbearable in your eyes? Hmph, donate, must donate, if you don't let me donate today, I'm in a hurry with you! ”
Chen Xiao sighed, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll let you donate, then you can donate tens of thousands of taels casually, just don't compare with the three princes and the five princes, you ...... Everybody understands ......"
"I want you to understand a hammer, huh? I'm not worse than them, I don't need you to be so pitiful, why donate tens of thousands casually? Lao Tzu also donated 100,000 taels! "The Seven Princes shouted angrily!
Chen Xiao said helplessly: "Okay, okay, count you awesome, count you ...... hanging"
As he spoke, he lowered his head and almost laughed!
