Chapter 164: Fundraising

"You're saying it's simple, but what if those people don't want to?" Ning Hong couldn't help it, and stood up and asked, "Isn't it possible that the imperial court wants to rob it?" ”

This was a bit too much, and the old emperor frowned in displeasure.

However, everyone understands the reason why fundraising will harm the interests of many people.

These people are all rich figures, if they are unwilling, not only will the court not be able to raise money, but they will also cause dissatisfaction among everyone.

"Your Majesty, since the minister dares to say it, he naturally has a complete strategy."

Jin Yuan ignored Ning Hong, and said to the old emperor: "The cost of building the official road is only one million taels, and when the imperial court is rich, this money is not a problem at all, and those who are rich on the first side, these silver are even more of a drop in the bucket for them." ”

"Besides, if the official road is built, it will be beneficial to them, and they will be beneficial and buy the good of the court, so why not do it?"

The hall was quiet for a moment, and then the sound of conversation sounded again, unlike last time, many neutral officials also felt that what Jin Yuan said was feasible, and they discussed it one after another.

The wind in the main hall in front of him was not in the right direction, Murong Cheng wanted to say something more to press, but the old emperor didn't give him this opportunity, and immediately patted the armrest of the dragon chair, and the hall instantly quieted down.

"Lord Jin has worked hard for the country and the people, and I am very pleased." The old emperor smiled slightly, and said to Jin Yuan: "This matter will be done as you say, I am waiting for your good news." ”

Jin Yuan knelt down with his clothes on the hem, held up the jade wat, and said, "Weichen will definitely live up to the emperor's high expectations!" ”

The matter of building the official road was decided in a few words from everyone, and Jin Yuan was also busy in an instant, the harem didn't need him to worry about it, the old emperor himself knew what to do, what he needed to do was how to get money from those merchants.

In order to respond to the old emperor, hundreds of officials donated their own share, but how much to donate has also become a problem.

Too much, there will be a suspicion of greedy ink, too little and too deliberate, there is simply no silver three hundred taels here.

Just how much money is donated has stumped a large group of ministers.

"How much are you going to give?"

While making tea, Ning Zhao asked Jin Yuan and said, "It's a good thing to build an official road, and I also want to contribute, so let's go with you." ”

The official road is good first, and it is much more convenient for Ning Zhao to open the medical hall all over the country, which is also a great benefit to her, so she naturally has to help promote it.

"Do what you can." Jin Yuan took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile: "A mental effort, as long as we are united, this is a trivial matter." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ning Zhao again and said, "I still want to marry my baby lady to enter the door, so naturally save a little." ”

"Nonsense again!" Ning Zhao glared at him and said business, when did this person become so unserious.

"But that's fine, there must be a lot of people who hate you when you make this proposal, you take the lead, and you can resolve one or two." Ning Zhao smiled and looked at him with his chin propped up.

What Ning Zhao said was exactly what Jin Yuan thought, and now I don't know how many people are worried about fundraising, and taking the lead by myself has also solved the troubles of these people.

"You'll wait." Ning Zhao patted the back of Jin Yuan's hand, got up and walked towards the account room, and after a while, Ning Zhao walked back with a small cloth bag in his hand.

"Give." Ning Zhao handed it to Jin Yuan with a smile and said, "Miaochun Hall responded to the call of the imperial court and contributed to the construction of the official road. ”

Jin Yuan looked at the cloth bag handed to him, took it with a smile, opened it, raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Such a big deal, why don't you discuss it with Imperial Doctor Meng?" ”

Ning Zhao waved his hand and sat down next to Jin Yuan, and said with a smile: "The master will not have an opinion, I can still call the shots with this money." ”

Jin Yuan sighed twice, put the money away, looked at Ning Zhao and sighed: "Now like this, I feel a little like soft rice." ”

"The beauty you think." Ning Zhao pinched his face and said with a smile: "This is the money for road repair, what does it have to do with you, don't you still want to support me?" Then quickly settle this matter and go to ask the emperor for an order. ”

Jin Yuan also took the time to come, and left after not staying long.

Ning Zhao sent the person out of the door, watched him disappear into the crowd, and stood at the door for a while, Ning Zhao's eyes rolled, and he turned around and shouted, "Qing Cicada, send someone to help me deliver a few letters." ”

Qing Cicada put down the herbs in his hand, ran into the house with Ning Zhao, and asked, "Who did you give it to?" ”

Ning Zhao sat down in front of the desk, held the pen, paused, raised the pen to write down a name, and said with a smile: "The merchants in Kyoto can be regarded as good friends with me, don't they keep saying that they want to thank me for saving my life?" Now is the time for them to repay the favor. ”

Qing Cicada heard it in a fog, but her own lady did whatever she asked her to do, and she didn't ask more.

A few days have passed, with Jin Yuan taking the lead, the hundred officials have also taken out their own share, although it is not much, but it is not a small sum when it is all together.

"It's time to get ready to start." Jin Yuan closed the account book in his hand, which recorded the silver taels raised in the past few days.

Pouring a cup of tea for Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Jin Yuan said with a smile: "After that, there will be Master Lao Chen." ”

Lord Chen took a sip of the teacup and said with a hearty smile: "I am very happy to be able to benefit the people." ”

After a pause, he frowned slightly, and said, "But this money is far from enough, Lord Jin has figured out how to deal with those merchants?" ”

Jin Yuan tapped his fingers on the table and replied, "I have made an appointment with a few bosses tomorrow, and I will do my best." ”

Jin Yuan naturally had some plans, but what he didn't expect was that Ning Zhao had prepared a big surprise for him.

"Why are you here?"

The most gorgeous Tianxiang Building in Kyoto, Jin Yuan and several businessmen are about here, just arrived at the place, raised his eyes and saw Ning Zhao sitting on a chair, Jin Yuan was surprised.

Ning Zhao was chatting with a boss, and when he heard this, he smiled at Jin Yuan, pointed to the boss beside him, and introduced, "This is Boss Du of Baoshang Yinhao." ”

"Boss Du, this is Lord Jin, the head of the household department, and the matter of raising donations to build an official road is handled by Lord Jin." Ning Zhao smiled and introduced to Boss Du.

The surprise was only for a moment, Jin Yuan quickly recovered, arched his hand towards Boss Du, and said gently: "Boss Du has admired his name for a long time, it is really better to see it than to hear it, but I didn't expect it to be so young." ”

Indeed, Baoshang Silver is also one of the best silver numbers in Kyoto, which is why Jin Yuan made his first appointment, but Jin Yuan didn't expect that Baoshang Silver was such a big industry, and the helmsman was so young.

"Lord Jin is too modest." Boss Du stood up, saluted Jin Yuan back, looked at Jin Yuan, and praised: "I asked Lord Jin about his demeanor earlier, but now I see that it is really as bright and graceful as the rumors!" ”

The two exchanged pleasantries, and after a while, another person walked in from outside the box door, Ning Zhao saw it at a glance, got up and greeted enthusiastically: "Boss Tang is here, please take a seat!" ”

Jin Yuan and the others looked at it, a middle-aged man with a big belly, with a smile on his face, arched his hand towards Ning Zhao and said, "It's still too late, please forgive me." ”
