"I am willing to donate 5,000 yuan for the government to call!" Before a stick of incense arrived, a fat old man stood up, smiled, and said positively. This person specializes in the livestock business, and there are many shops in the meat shops in the cities of Tokyo, and there are tens of thousands of sheep, pigs and other poultry and livestock transported and sold to Beijing every year.

Someone took the lead, and then someone got up one after another and pledged donations, ranging from 3,000 to 7,000. They all had a positive attitude, but they were "stingy", and they observed Murong Yanchao's expression and paid attention to his demeanor.

Murong Yanchao is also a person who likes to accumulate money, and he also concentrates on the study of the way of goods and colonization on weekdays, and has also come into contact with many businessmen. At this time, seeing the performance of these people, it was immediately clear that these people, in terms of donations, were still playing "bargaining" tricks with him, and the preliminary quotation also tested his attitude.

Thinking of this, Murong Yanchao was immediately unhappy. Thinking of his dignified uncle, Kaifeng Mansion Yin, personally invited him to accompany him to serve tea, and after all his good words, he took out such a "little" money. He Murong Yanchao, when was he so good at talking, and time and face were so cheap?

Of course, there are more than 20 people, scattered and scattered, and there are more than 100,000 yuan, which is more than the first batch of money allocated by Liu Chengyou. However, Murong Yanchao had spent so much effort, how could he be so satisfied.

"Hehe......" Murong Yan smiled and took a sip of the tea he was not good at.

When he reacted like this, the wealthy businessmen who were good at observing words and emotions couldn't help but feel a sigh in their hearts, obviously, Murong Fujun was not satisfied.

"Have you ever written down all the funds you have pledged?" Murong Yan tilted his head and glanced at the scribe.

The scribe understood, got up with some "trepidation", and arched his hand: "Please forgive the king, the villain is slow and clumsy, and he has not remembered the whole ......."

"Then re-record!" Murong Yanchao waved his hand lightly, looked around with a cold face, and said, "The time for a stick of incense has not yet arrived!" ”

The meaning is obvious, re-pledge!

The expressions of the wealthy businessmen present gradually became solemn, and they seriously considered how much blood they had to produce in order to satisfy Murong Yanchao.

"The old man pledged to donate 100,000 yuan!" When everyone hesitated, a loud voice interrupted the silence of the scene.

Everyone followed the prestige, saw the common thoughts, and came slowly. When Murong Yanchao saw it, his black face stretched out, he got up to greet him, and arched his hand: "Why is Chang Gong here!" ”

With a reluctant smile on his face, Chang Si said: "The prince of the government is raising money for the expansion of the city, and the old man is ordered to assist, how can he not help but do it, and the golden heart will contribute!" ”

"Chang Gong deserves to be my Hedong elder! Come, please be seated! Murong Yan was overjoyed, introduced Chang Si into his seat, and asked, "What Chang Gong said about donating money, but is it serious?" ”

Hearing this, although his heart was dripping with blood, Chang Si still pretended to respond heartily: "Before the mansion, everyone is on the side, how can there be a lie." The old man is deeply favored by the country, and now he can repay it! ”

"Chang Gong is really a loyal minister!" Murong Yan laughed twice, and instructed the scribe: "Make a note for Chang Gong!" ”

"Yes!"

Looking at the pledge book, the pen is written, and the heart is like a knife, and the pain is great. This time, he has accumulated for many years, and his hard-earned income is nearly half of his family assets, but he is gone.

He originally intended not to listen to Guo Rong's advice, but Wang Jingchong's vicious wolf was still in Luzhou, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and then he was reluctant, so he finally decided to spend money to buy peace.

Chang Si threw it arrogantly, which made the rich people present breathe a little faster, 100,000 yuan, for these people, it is not easy to take out. Looking at Murong Yanchao's face, it became more and more calm, if this was used as a standard, it would not just be a heavy hemorrhage.

"Fu Jun, I am willing to donate 40,000 yuan, and 3,000 stones of corn each!" At this time, He Fuyin fought, bowed down and spoke, his face calm.

Seeing this, Murong Yanchao couldn't help but glance at him a few times, and he also had an impression of this giant businessman who was active around the powerful. With a smile on his face, he looked quite approving, and said, "This righteous businessman is also!" ”

"Write it down!" Obviously, Murong Yanchao was very satisfied with what He Fuyin had done, pointed his hand and commanded, looked at him, and said, "Don't worry, neither the court nor the government will treat people with meritorious service badly!" ”

"Xie Fujun!" He Fuyin replied respectfully.

Since He Fuyin, this donation gathering has finally started in a correct rhythm that satisfies Murong Yanchao, and the people invited have asked for donations one after another, and the widows have also pledged 30,000 yuan.

After the successful conclusion, Murong Yanchao set up a banquet in the yazhong to entertain the merchants, and only after the "guests and hosts were happy" did they go back and prepare the money and food pledged.

......

"I heard that Kaifeng Mansion held a donation party, how much did you get?" Walking between the palace rooms, Liu Chengyou asked with a little curiosity.

According to the report, everyone enthusiastically pledged donations, and the amount of money received was about one million yuan, and there was another 100,000 stone of grain! The cost of renovation and expansion in Tokyo is enough to support half a load! Li Fang reported the data he wrote down to Liu Chengyou.

"That's a lot!" The corners of Liu Chengyou's mouth were slightly upturned, and his face showed a touch of relaxation, and he sighed: "It's a little unexpected for me, I still remember when I first entered Tokyo, all industries were depressed, and the country was poor and the people were poor. I don't want to accumulate so much wealth in the past few years, and the wealthy businessmen in Tokyo have such wealth in their hands......"

"This is all the work of Your Majesty, stabilizing public order, encouraging agriculture and commerce, exempting harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and leading to the recovery of all industries!" Li Fang complimented.

"Isn't this pledge a harsh donation?" Liu Chengyou said.

Li Fang replied: "If there is no imperial court policy, how can they have the prosperity of businessmen, this is to give them an opportunity to repay the imperial court!" ”

"Moreover, businessmen seek profit and invite fame, this time, while the government raises funds, it also gives them fame and fortune, how can they actively pledge donations!" Li Fang said again, and there was inevitably contempt for Shang Jia in his words.

Liu Chengyou smiled faintly: "I, the imperial uncle, this means of making money is extraordinary. I have the heart to let him serve in the third division! ”

Of course, Liu Chengyou is just joking, Murong Yanchao is an elder, not to make money, but to plunder money with the help of the power in his hands. Such a donation, if it weren't for Liu Chengyou's suggestion, according to Murong Yanchao's style, I am afraid that it would be forcibly persecuted, and the businessman would have no fame and fortune.

"In addition, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry Chang Si donated 100,000 yuan!" Li Fang glanced at Liu Chengyou and reported.

"I've been in town for many years, and I've gained a lot!" Liu Chengyou looked calm, waved his hand, and said lightly.

After a few moments, Liu Chengyou instructed Li Fang: "Spread the message and warn Murong Yanchao that although the bricks, tiles, stones and other materials needed to build the city can be distributed to the merchants, the quality needs to be strictly controlled, and if there are those who cut corners, they will be severely punished!" ”

"Yes!"

When I returned to the palace, my buttocks were not yet hot, and the general affairs were reported, and Dr. Yu Shi and Zhongcheng, Bian Guiyan and Zhao Li jointly met him.

Leaning back on the throne, Liu Chengyou swept Bian and Zhao coldly, the two of them restrained their hands, stood in front of the emperor, facing the scrutiny of the Son of Heaven, and between their calm faces, there was a hint of uprightness.

Liu Chengyou retracted his gaze and asked, "The two Qings came together, and the one who asked for it was for Wang Jingchong?" ”

"Your Majesty Mingjian, exactly!" Bian Guiyan replied.

"Wang Jingchong is in the place, arbitrarily and recklessly, and every time he passes a place, he violates the system without authority, the usage is harsh, and the accumulation is very much, which can be described as shocking and vulgar. In the name of angels, he did things that harmed the officials and abused the people, and now the local officials and the people are full of complaints. This person has ruined the majesty of the court and damaged His Majesty's holy name, and asked His Majesty to recall this traitorous and cool official, ask him about his crimes, and reassure people's hearts! Bian Guiyan said: "The ministers have already connected the recital, and I implore Your Majesty to listen to the advice!" ”

Zhao Li also said: "Your Majesty, now inside and outside Tokyo, the crowd is angry, the local generals, everyone is in danger, and in the long run, there will be trouble." Your Majesty has worked hard to govern the government, so that the people's livelihood is stable, and you can't mess up the world because of a traitor! ”

"Huh!" Liu Chengyou smiled: "Just one Wang Jingchong can mess with my Han world, do you look down on him, or do you look down on me?" ”

"Don't dare!" Listening to the somewhat unkind words of the Son of Heaven, Bian and Zhao subconsciously bent a little.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou looked at the two seriously: "The people Wang Jingchong inspected, from the festival to the officials, are all based on real evidence, they are greedy, shouldn't they be investigated?" ”

Bian Zhao and the others were silent. Seeing that the Son of Heaven still looked like he was defending Wang Jingchong, he replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, local generals, or if there are lawbreakers, you can send officials to investigate because of the law." However, Wang Jingchong, whose reputation is not right, is honest and careful, does not know the general situation, his body is not right, his behavior is not beneficial, and he is a minister of chaos. Please also Your Majesty, think again! ”

"According to Bian Qing's words, if I use Wang Jingchong, it will be illegal and disruptive?"

"I really don't mean that! I hope that Your Majesty, take into account the overall situation, and adopt the group of chapters to convince the people! ”
