67. On April 26, the sun was gone, and the daughter returned
"Have you heard of it, today Ruibao County mainly entertains guests in Songtao Tower."
"Isn't this a common thing, Lord Ruibao has two banquets for three days, which is not unusual."
The two men who were eating soup cakes in the street chatted casually, and the Luzhou Mansion seemed to be quite calm these days, even if the county lord invited guests, he could talk about it.
"Hey, don't you know, today's banquet of the county lord is not something that ordinary people can go to, she summoned the young lady of the rich family, saying that she wanted to raise money for the immigrants who ate the locust plague last year."
"Fundraising? The word sounds fresh and tight, what is that? ”
"It's money, and it says it's going to build a community outside the city for those displaced people...... I don't know that this community is a Laoshzi thing, saying that His Royal Highness King Fu has approved it, but His Royal Highness doesn't give money, so he lets the county lord toss it himself, this is not what she called a group of young ladies today, just for this matter. ”
"This is interesting, we will also go to see a lively event later, maybe we also have the heart to donate some, which can be regarded as adding a thought to the old folks."
The Northern Song Dynasty itself was developed in commerce, and now they mainly focus on commerce after cutting the land, so although the Song people lack soldiers and major generals, they have some money and silver in their purses.
When the two of them came to the bottom of the Songtao Building, they found that there were already a lot of people outside, and they were discussing noisily, and the two of them squeezed into the crowd to the front, and found that the people outside were looking at something written on a piece of red paper.
"This Xiucai, what's written on this? My brother and I can't read. ”
They couldn't understand it after looking at it for a long time, so they asked for help from a person dressed as a scholar next to him, anyway, regardless of whether he was a talent or not, it was not a bad thing to call a polite word.
"This said that when the county lord went out of the city yesterday, he saw that there were many homeless people outside the city who were very pitiful, lacking food and clothing, and had no fixed place to live, as if he was doing something for these people, so he was anxious to donate some money and food to the people of Luzhou Prefecture." The scholar pointed to the side of the board in front of him: "Do you see those big boxes?" Whether it is donating money or food, they will be named there, and when the time comes, a monument will be given in front of the village built for immigrants, saying that as long as they donate money and food, they will be able to leave a name on the monument. If you donate food, you have to ask for four stones. ”
"If someone is corrupt," ...... someone next to him interjected, "That's a lot of money." ”
"But the boss said that every eldest son I am waiting to donate will be carefully told."
"In that case, I'll donate it later."
Immediately someone took out the money from the body and began to register, many people even in order to leave a name on the inscription, did not hesitate to run home to get money and silver to donate, the scene is called a hot one.
The people who were in charge of weighing and registering at the scene were all the sisters of the county lord, they were all women who had read books, sitting there tossing and turning, and there were guards from the Fuwang Mansion standing next to them, but no one dared to make a mistake.
And at this moment, King Fu was sitting in the restaurant opposite, looking at the heat of Songtao Building, he twisted his beard and said to another person: "Tell me, Ruibao, this girl, you know nonsense." ”
"I don't think this girl is messing around. Didn't you bother to settle the displaced people a few days ago? ”
Opposite King Fu sat a middle-aged man in plain clothes, he didn't seem to have an official body, but when talking to King Fu, he didn't look like a grass farmer, he picked up a cup of wine and drank it all, and ate a piece of roasted mutton: "But you are worried that Zhao Xing is suspicious, in a dilemma, your treasury money and food are not enough to settle all the displaced people, if you don't raise taxes, you are afraid that you will be helpless, right?" ”
"Yes, Brother Wang."
"I'm not your brother for a long time, and now I'm just a white man. It is already the gift of the former emperor to be able to leave this old life, and he no longer dares to accept this royal name, and now the king only has Fushou Kangning. ”
King Fu sighed, and didn't say anything more, and on the other side, the former Thai brother Wang, King Fu didn't say anything, just quietly took a sip of wine.
"But if the tax is raised, it will inevitably disrupt the present paradise and drive people out. If you don't raise taxes, where will you get this money? Zhao Xuan drove more than 200,000 displaced people here, don't you understand what this means? ”
King Fu smiled lightly and did not speak again.
"With more than 200,000 people to eat and wear, you are already stretched, right? You still have soldiers under your hands, the king of the world, only your military power can't be handed over, but how can Zhao Xing be willing, he naturally wants to do his best to give you this set. The plain man smiled: "But Jin Ling'er's trick is as if someone gave her a trick, and directly gave Zhao Xing's calculation to the bottom of the kettle." ”
King Fu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Please Brother Wang to solve your doubts." ”
The King of Thailand pursed his lips and smiled, and then picked up a piece of meat: "You go back and interrogate first, who is the master behind Jin Ling'er." If you do it, you will incite public opinion, and those people in the DPRK and China will naturally refuse to let it go. But if Jin Ling'er comes, it is people who have nothing to say, I am a country with benevolence, Jin Ling'er blocked the mouth of the whole world in the name of benevolence, this money and silver are public, open a monument and pass on, although it is a little unruly, but probably no one will care about such a girl. Not to mention anything else, it is the matter of this money and silver being made public, even if it is the old stubborn in the DPRK and China, they can only hold the board and bow down to Zhao Xing and say, 'The country is fortunate'"
"It seems that she also invited the overseers of the court to supervise the movement of the money." King Fu smiled: "When I heard about this yesterday, I was quite unimpressed, but look at it like this...... I'm afraid I'll get a lot of money, but I don't know if it's enough to settle this homeless people. ”
"Let's see, whether it's enough or not, you've saved a lot of worry."
As he was talking, he heard that the following mode had changed again, and a little guy who didn't know where he came from stood at the door and shouted loudly: "Liu Si on East Street, five runs!" Huangjia Cloth Workshop on Changle Street, ten runs! ……”
His voice is loud, crisp, and penetrating, like a cuckoo in spring, and can be heard carefully through several streets.
"Liu Si on East Street, chasing five times, praying for the peace of mother and son at home......"
The King of Thailand was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stroked his palms and laughed: "Talent! Talent! After you go back, you have to ask Jin Ling'er who this person behind her is, weren't you afraid before? Now, that's enough. ”
King Fu tilted his head sideways and looked at the surging heads below, with a smile on his face: "Since this is the case, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”
The two watched quietly for a while, and found that the big households had not yet entered, and the money and grain donated by the people of Luzhou Mansion alone had been folded down, and the number of shouting houses had increased to seven, and the shouting voices came and went.
The registered book was also densely filled with the names of countless people, and King Fu looked at this scene, his eyes were bloodshot.
"This ...... This...... My three months of taxes, that's it? King Fu's breath was short: "This ...... Fantastic. ”
"That's nature, and that's where the benefits of wealth are hidden from the people. However, this trick can be used but cannot be commonly used, and Jin Ling'er can use it, but you can't use it, if you use it, I'm afraid you will cause big trouble. ”
"Yes." King Fu sighed: "I don't know how many there will be in the end." ”
The King of Thailand pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and stretched out ten fingers.
"Millions?"
"Ten thousand." The King of Thailand raised his head and smiled confidently.
King Fu shook his head: "My Great Song Dynasty pays only 10,000 yuan in taxes a year, how can this come out with 10 million yuan?" ”
"Hahahaha, you, you, you, you are still suitable to lead troops to fight, you are still weaker in the doorway here."
Others say so, King Fu is a slap when he goes up, but the person in front of him is the brother of the king, and he is the person who once claimed to be the most likely to inherit the Great Song Dynasty, he said that this King Fu recognized it.
"Let's make a bet, and if I win, give me the jar of good wine in your house." The King smiled and said, "If I lose, I will give you the bracelet that the Queen Mother gave me." ”
"Really?"
"Nature."
At this moment, the little guy below suddenly shouted hoarsely: "There is a phoenix to the Yi Pavilion, 300,000 runs!" Pray for peace and security! ”
King Fu was stunned for a moment: "This kiln is also ......."
Not only him, but even the King of Thailand was shocked, and he stared at the increasingly turbulent people below with wide eyes: "Good ...... Come on, come on, you see, you see. ”
King Fu poked his head out and took a look, and found that the whole street was crowded with people at some point, and almost all the merchants in the city came.
"Dingguo Mansion, 100,000 runs! Zuojia Pharmacy, 30,000! The head of the Zuo family pharmacy said that he would rather put medicine on the shelf, but hoped that the people in the world would be safe. ”
Hearing this voice, King Fu flicked up: "Dingguo Gong also joined in this fun?" Oh...... It's a small bowl, she's really rich. ”
The King of Thailand narrowed his eyes: "It's not good." ”
"What?" King Fu's brows furrowed: "Why did Brother Wang say this? ”
"That's not good." The King of Thailand sighed deeply: "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep your jar of wine tonight." ”
And before they could catch their breath, they suddenly heard the little guys singing in unison: "The Xu family of Jiangnan West Province feels that the country is in trouble, so I hereby donate 100,000 stones of grain, 10,000 catties of various medicinal materials, and 2 million yuan of silver." The son of the Xu family, Xu Li and Xu Changqing donated 300,000 yuan in his personal name. I wish the mountains and rivers are safe. ”
King Fu stroked his chest, and his breathing became short: "The Xu family in Jiangxi...... Why is it coming? ”
"The Xu family donated almost three million guan, and now more than half of the ten million guan is now." The King of Thailand frowned and said, "This is ...... I want to force the Jin family to vomit blood. ”
"Why?"
"Why did your Xu family in Jiangxi donate so much?" The king of Thailand looked at the big shopkeeper of the Xu family here, holding the certificate of the Xu family, and said that the money and silver would arrive in a few days, and said thoughtfully: "This is clearly to bake the Luzhou Jin family on the stove." ”
King Fu also nodded knowingly: "The Jin family can only have more, not less, otherwise I am afraid that I will be poked in the backbone." ”
