……

Time flies, autumn goes to winter, and after a grand New Year's sacrifice on the Winter Clothes Festival, Guanzhong has entered October.

Under the jubilation of the Tongwu Marquis's conquest of the Lingnan class and the return of the class, the whole Xianyang was jubilant, and the disciples of the hundred schools and almost the entire cultural class also used their votes to cast a grand vote for their respected sages.

With the spread of the newspaper through newspaper merchants, servants, and business travelers from the southeast, northwest, and northwest, this special newspaper and the entrained ballot began to expand to the whole country, and even the Lingnan lands that had just been conquered in Bashu and Qianzhong, Liao Dynasty Liang and other countries also learned of the news that the emperor built a national library and voted for a hundred sages, and even the cultural circles in these places began to be restless, and they went around to buy the Daqin Metropolis Newspaper of the same period for details, and even wanted to vote for their piety.

Of course, voting is very important and necessary, but in fact, the most important thing is donations, because the newspaper said that if you don't donate enough 10 million yuan in two years, this project of 100 statues of the sons of 100 schools will be canceled.

But obviously this worry is unnecessary, with the daily shuttle to and from the counties of the country to send a large number of ballots back to Xianyang, bundles of large bundles sent into the newspaper to seal, in addition to Huaxia Qian Zhuang also has a large amount of data, with the inspection of the steward brought back to Xianyang, there are a large number of people from all walks of life in various places continue to donate money in various places Huaxia Qian Zhuang.

In order to ensure the convenience and safety of donations, Chen Xu asked Huaxia Qian Zhuang to collect donations this time, and the donation methods have been published in the special issue of Who's Who.

Because it is a real-name donation, donors from all over the world only need to fill out a deposit slip to pay the money in the nearest Huaxia Bank, and the money deposited will be uniformly registered in the special account book, someone in a certain place, how much to donate, the time of donation, and the detailed address of the donor and the signature of the donor, etc., the money will finally be collected into the account set up by the headquarters of Xianyang Huaxia Money Village for the library project, and the construction of the library will be spent from this account in the future.

And just like Chen Xu originally envisioned, under the stimulation of the merit monument, the rich people in the world will naturally not give up this opportunity to leave a name for the ages, and the disciples of the hundred schools are also worried that the money is not enough to make this grand plan aborted, and the leaders of various factions continue to call on the disciples to donate a large amount of money, so the number of donations from all over the world is endless every day, although some of the clothes are shabby and can't take out a huge amount of a thousand yuan, but dozens of hundreds of dollars are also a heart.

The newspaper said that no matter how much the donation is, it is the support and concern for this great project, and every brick and stone in the library, every book collected and sorted out in the future, has a donor's heart, enough to be admired and worshiped by future generations, and at the same time calling for donations, it also advises everyone to donate rationally, do not approve of borrowing for it, do not care how much, just have a heart.

Under the stimulation of rationality and irrationality, in a month's time, the various branches of Xianyang's Huaxia Qianzhuang alone have received donations of more than 5 million yuan from all walks of life, and there is also news from nearby Sanchuan, Hedong, Hanzhong, Nanyang and other counties, and the counties are also very enthusiastic in donating.

"Haha, Hou Ye's method really worked, so that the pressure on Wei's body dissipated invisibly, thank you, thank you, I salute Hou Ye and Brother Fan again!" In the Qinghe Hotel, Shaofu ordered Zhao Wei to have a special banquet for Chen Xu because of the donation.

Accompanied by the director of Huaxia Money, Fan Caiying's brother Versace, since learning that Fan Caiying was pregnant, Chen Xu wrote to Fan Fan of the Fan family, asking him to temporarily transfer Versace to Xianyang to sit in the headquarters of Huaxia Qianzhuang, now the operation of Huaxia Qianzhuang has long been on the right track, the rules and regulations are strict and meticulous, the relationship between subordinates at all levels is clear, and with Chen Xu as the backing, no one dares to do anything wrong, so the operation of Huaxia Qianzhuang is very stable.

Five or six years have passed, and Versace is now a handsome old man with three strands of beard on his chin, wearing a jade crown and a gorgeous dress, and he has a heroic atmosphere, which seems to have nothing to do with businessmen.

"Master Hou, please, Zhao Fu Ling, please!"

"Please, two of you!"

Chen Xu and Versace raised their glasses together, touched them lightly and drank them.

"Shaofu Ling is happy too early......" Chen Xu picked up the chopsticks and said while picking up the vegetables.

Zhao Weileng asked with a puzzled face: "Did Master Hou say that this donation is not enough?" ”

Versace was also puzzled and said: "Master Hou, Xianyang alone has more than five million yuan, and there are still people donating money every day, although most of them are less than 1,000 yuan, but it is not a problem to make up two million more in the spring......

"No, Ben Hou is talking about this money or a fraction, you don't have to forget, there is still a group of the richest people who have almost not donated a penny so far!" Chen Xu smiled and shook his head.

"Merchant?" Zhao Wei and Versace put down their chopsticks almost at the same time.

"Yes, Shang Jia is currently the richest group in the world of Great Qin, they control hundreds of millions of money and wealth, and they will be even richer in the future, Shang Jia controls such a huge wealth, how can he not do his best for this matter? So Ben Hou said that Zhao Fuling was happy too early, and even happier things were still to come......"

"Huh, Master Hou is scared!" Zhao Wei's face instantly relaxed, and he shook his head while eating vegetables and said, "What Master Hou said is right, Shangjia does control a huge amount of money, but businessmen speculate and make profits, and they can't afford to make profits early, this library and the statues of Zhuzi have no benefits at all except for their fame, I'm afraid they won't donate a lot!" ”

Even Versace, who was born in a merchant family, blushed and nodded, "Zhao Fuling is right, for us and other businessmen, we generally will not do things that have no interests, unless we have to, although the merchant is also one of the hundred, but it is not related to the disciples of the hundred schools, we worship the ancestor of Shang Wang Qi and Tao Zhu Gong, the business profits, never participate in the battle of national policies, in business, this kind of thing is generally not involved, not to mention that even if Hou Ye continues to implement commercial reforms, our businessmen are now greatly increased, but in the eyes of the people, Shangjia is still a lowly person, and the statues of the sons of these hundred families may not have our predecessors in the business world, so it is reasonable that Shangjia does not participate in donations! ”

"Hehe, I can bet with the two of you on this matter, this donation, Shang Jia will be the main force in the end!" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"I don't believe it!" Zhao Wei shook his head.

"Sizhe doesn't believe it either!" Versace shook his head.

"It doesn't matter believe it or not, you will naturally know in a few months, can you two dare to make a bet?"

"What's the stake?" Zhao Wei and Versace both looked at Chen Xu excitedly together.

"We are all elegant people, gambling money is too vulgar, gambling and drinking are too disappointing, if we bet on one thing, if Ben Hou loses in the end, Ben Hou promised each of you one thing, no matter how big or small, if you lose, you must also help Ben Hou complete one thing, how?"

Zhao Wei and Versace glanced at each other, then gritted their teeth and nodded in agreement.

Chen Xu loses, then they are simply developed, they can ask for help in anything, Chen Xu can't shirk it, he can get a promise from the disciples of the Immortal Family and the Zuo Xiang of the Dynasty, there is simply a strong impulse to live forever, although there will definitely be no way to seek immortality, but there is no problem with the promotion and wealth.

As for what Chen Xu asked them to do if they lost, don't think too much about it, Chen Xu, who is too difficult, can't do it, it's useless to say it, with the current identity and state of the two, what can be done is nothing more than something that is not too difficult.

"Master Hou, how long will it be after a few months?" The bet took effect, and Versace couldn't help but ask.

"Time...... It's about February and March after the beginning of spring! Chen Xu thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, Brother Fan and I will wait until after the beginning of spring, and when the time comes, I hope that Hou Ye will not fool me and wait, come, Hou Ye, please have another drink!"

"Please!"

After the banquet was over, after eating and drinking, Zhao Wei drove back to the palace drunk, and just arrived at Shaofu and sat down to drink a cup of hot tea to sober up, when he saw a eunuch coming in a hurry.

"What?" Seeing this middle-aged eunuch, Zhao Wei instantly woke up more than half of his wine, and his voice became a little stiff.

"Yu Shaofu order, Concubine Lan asked her subordinates to inform her that today she had a hosta that fell into the pond by mistake......

"If you fall into the pond, let people salvage it, what's the use of looking for me, are your eunuchs and many attendants dead?" Zhao Wei couldn't wait to smash the teacup in his hand into the eunuch's face.

The eunuch's body shook slightly, and he hurriedly bowed his head and replied: "The Shaofu Order, someone has been arranged to salvage it, but it has not been found, Concubine Lan said that she wants the Shaofu Order to allocate 10,000 yuan to ask a famous craftsman to create another hosta......

Zhao Wei almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, slammed the teacup on the desk, stood up angrily, thought for a while, and then held back his anger, looked at the eunuch coldly and said: "This month, Concubine Lan has lost five hairpins, three jade hairpins, and two jade pendants, is Concubine Lan's bedroom haunted?" Go back and tell Concubine Lan that the treasury of the Shaofu Mansion is empty, and there is no money recently, and after the beginning of spring, the new tax will be deposited into the warehouse, and the official will arrange for her to make coins ......"

"Why aren't you leaving?" After Zhao Wei finished speaking, he sat down, and found that this eunuch had no intention of leaving at all, so he immediately held the teacup in his hand and wanted to smash it.

"Shaofu Order, Concubine Lan...... Concubine Lan said......"

"What did Concubine Lan say? Be careful that the official beats you! The green tendons on the back of Zhao Wei's hands rose.

"Lan Fei...... Say...... It is said that the Shaofu Order has collected a lot of mine taxes in advance for more than a month, and after the issuance of the donation order of the Marquis of Qinghe, there have been millions of donations from all over the country, and the Shaofu Treasury is not ...... There is no shortage of money...... "When the eunuch spoke, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Zhao Wei at all.

Zhao Wei's eyes shook slightly, and after taking a few deep breaths, he said expressionlessly: "You go back first and tell Concubine Lan that the money in the treasury cannot be used for the time being, and before the fundraising money is in place, the Shaofu treasury will not spend any money outside the regulations for the time being, go~"

"Yes, yes, the next official will leave!" Listening to the last word that popped out of Zhao Wei's teeth, the eunuch suddenly said goodbye with a trembling face and left.

"Guard the door of the mansion, no eunuch palace official in any concubine's dormitory will be seen!" Zhao Wei waved his hands weakly, leaned on the back of the chair, and kept panting.

"Yes!" Several chamberlains retreated to the door of Shaofu, but it didn't take long for another eunuch to come in a hurry, blocked by the chamberlain, and in the next half an hour, five or six eunuchs came, all of whom were blocked by the chamberlain, and even two of them had a big temper and the chamberlain quarreled, and after getting the reason, Zhao Wei felt that his brain was jumping suddenly, and there was a stream of blood as if he was going to break through the door of his head at any time and spurt out.

Since something called perfume began to appear on the market, the harem began to become restless, for more than a month, the harem concubines have not known how many hosta jade pendants and even crystal hairpins have been lost, and if they lose it, they will naturally ask Zhao Wei for money to buy, and this kind of thing is getting more and more intense, now the entire harem can lose dozens of valuables every day, but there is no way to check, these are young and beautiful concubines, the first emperor is not much alchemy and medicine now, and government affairs are not so busy, Therefore, every once in a while, they will go around the harem, and turn around and turn on the bed of a certain concubine, and as long as these concubines blow the pillow wind, he, who was once ranked among the three princes and nine secretaries, can only silently endure this injustice with tears.

And this Concubine Lan is especially bad, she has lost seven or eight valuables this month, and every time she gets money, she will buy perfume, which Zhao Wei knows, but he can only be helpless.

The emperor's wife can't afford to offend any of them.

And even he has a few losers in his own family, and a group of wives and concubines pester him all day long to beg for money with all kinds of tricks...... But don't really say it, the perfume smells extremely fragrant, and it makes people interested in applying it to the body, and several wives and concubines are also extremely gentle and hardworking for it, hissing ......

Zhao Wei couldn't help but make a swing in his aftertaste, it seems that he can't go home today, otherwise he won't be able to sleep all night.

Because this situation in the palace can only mean one thing, that is, the Qinghe shopping mall in Qinghe Hou has launched a new perfume.

Zhao Wei was very distressed, feeling that he would not be able to hold on like this, and after sitting for a long time, he went to the emperor to discuss, anyway, the money is the emperor's, and his wife is also the emperor's, he can't ignore it, it's a big deal that he resigns and goes back to support the elderly because he is unwell.
