It was getting late, and the ground was covered with castor oil within three miles, even if the wind blew, it was really difficult to blow up the dust on the ground, and those words would be difficult to destroy, so Jia Yi directly announced that he would not be selected today, and the selection would start early tomorrow morning.

In fact, the main reason why Jia Yi didn't make the selection today is that he doesn't have the 10,000 taels now, and the 50,000 guan he bought oil before has already spent all his cash money, although his worth is far more than this now, but all his money was used to buy grain before Huang Zai broke out, and now all he can take out is this 50,000 guan.

Tonight is destined to not be able to go home and sleep with his wife, many businessmen are all gathered outside a handsome tent specially vacated in Wengcheng, waiting for Jia Yi's arrival so that he can donate money so that the emperor can see.

Jia Yima sat on a chair in the handsome tent, the old god was crossing Erlang's legs, hanging his eyes and looking at the businessmen who were scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously, and there was a table in the handsome tent, on which there was an account book, and a special clerk was preparing to record the reputation and money of some merchants and merchants.

"Come in."

Seeing that the recorder was ready, Jia Yi nodded at the two street patrol Wuhou standing outside the door and said.

"Cao Daguang, grass people, meet His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose Chitose Chitose."

The first one to come in was a middle-aged fat man, maybe he thought that being able to see Li Chengqian would be the most glorious thing in his life, so he just entered the door and lay on the ground, bowing to this Jia as soon as he fell his head, only scared Jia Yi jumped up from the chair and hid to the side, people want to worship the prince, he is not.

"Ahem, what, you're looking for the prince, he didn't come, I'll take care of everything here."

Cao Daguang looked up, and the person standing in the military tent turned out to be a young boy, although this young man looked like a rich man, but there was no place on his body that could show that he was an official gentry, and after looking around in the military tent, he made sure that there was no prince, and then slowly stood up.

"Who are you?" Cao Daguang slapped the dust on his body and asked Jia Yi without raising his head.

"Kid Jia Yi, I'm in charge of recording your donations today."

"Jia Yi? I haven't heard of it, so I don't know what your relationship is with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

The expansion of the Sifang Restaurant is basically carried out in the name of Old Man Lin, and there are only a handful of people who know that Jia Yi is the real boss behind the scenes, this Cao Daguang is not clear, and it is really not too puzzling.

"It doesn't matter." At the beginning, Jia Yi maintained the most basic politeness, but judging from the high-minded appearance shown by Cao Daguang, Jia Yi knew that this person must not have taken himself seriously, and what he said became much more indifferent.

"Then how do I know that all the money I donated today will fall into the hands of His Highness?"

Jia Yi was almost amused, who in the world except the emperor would dare to deceive Li Chengqian in this kind of thing.

"Do you know what this place is?"

"The Tent of the Urn City."

"Then do you think ordinary people can enter here casually?"

"Of course not."

"What's the cost, if you want to donate, hurry up, if you don't want to donate, get out, I'm very busy."

Jia Yi's words suddenly became cold, which made Cao Daguang startled, the reason why he came here today to donate money was mostly because he was able to meet Li Chengqian, this is what the military tent of Wengcheng can do, if he can't see the prince, he won't donate a copper plate.

"Huangkou child, so rude, I came here to donate money, how can I accept your bird's anger, forgive me for not being able to accompany me, and say goodbye." After Cao Daguang finished speaking, he turned his head and walked out of the military tent, and then Cao Daguang's voice sounded outside the tent.

"The prince is not in the account, the person who collects the money in the account is an rude yellow-mouthed child, I advise everyone not to go in and be humiliated."

When Jia heard this, he walked out of the military tent, stood in front of many businessmen, clasped his hands around his chest, and said loudly: "Everyone, you only know that you want to donate money, but do you know what benefits you will get after donating money?" ”

"Donating money to the prince, just to let the prince remember the name of our waiting, what other good can it be."

Someone in the crowd was the first to explain his thoughts.

"The prince doesn't have the ability to forget, he can't remember your voice and smile, and he won't remember it, the only benefit you can get is to see the prince."

Jia Yi's words were like a stone thrown into the lake, which instantly aroused countless ripples, and many businessmen standing in the field began to turn their heads and ears, as a businessman, he should be profitable, this is nature, if a businessman says that he is not pursuing profits, then this person cannot be called a businessman, can only be called a good person, and only a good person will do those thankless things.

Seeing that many merchants were about to leave, Jia Yi said again: "But you have another opportunity to show your business name in front of Your Majesty. ”

This sentence was like a boulder thrown into the lake, which suddenly stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone turned their heads to look at Jia Yi who was standing at the door of the military tent, waiting for Jia Yi to continue, and asked directly in a hurry.

"What you said is true?"

"Your Majesty can really see the name of our firm?"

"Just kidding."

“……”

Jia Yi glanced at the circle of merchants, and then said calmly: "If you donate money for everything, I will make a banner for you and hang it on the city wall, donate more, hang the banner bigger, donate less, and hang the banner smaller, of course, each banner will also write the name of the donor's business, at that time, if Your Majesty comes to watch, you will definitely see the name of your business." ”

"How should the size of this piece be assessed?"

"For those who have a hundred pieces of money, the banner is three feet long and one foot wide, and for those who have a thousand dollars, the length and width of each increase by ten times, and so on, you will do what you can."

"Will His Majesty really come to watch tomorrow?"

This is the most valuable question, if the emperor can't come, then everything is in vain, and the emperor can't see it, even if the banner is pulled to the sky, then what's the use.

Jia Yi got the news early in the morning that the person who will give the first place award tomorrow will be Li Er, and Li Er will personally grant him an official position, just with a good hand, he can gain fame and fortune, it is really a great opportunity to ascend to the sky, if it weren't for the brush words written by Jia Yi, he really couldn't read it, he also wanted to go.

"Your Majesty will give the first place an award tomorrow."

"I'll donate a thousand."

"I'm two thousand."

"I'm three thousand."

Before Jia Yi's words fell, those businessmen began to shout loudly, and Jia Yi had no choice but to say loudly with a wry smile on his face: "Everyone don't be impatient, you all have a chance, now let's enter the account one by one." ”

For the whole night, Jia Yi listened to these businessmen say how much he had donated, and it was not until the last businessman left that Jia Yi and the little recorder yawned loudly and put away the account book.

At the beginning, a tent was temporarily set up outside the military tent, not for anything else, but for money, because the big guys wanted to donate a lot, so everyone was carrying silver, even if it was silver, it was a not small tent to the brim.

When Jia Yi was just about to count the silver taels, a young man suddenly walked in, followed by two small servants carrying a huge box, and knew that this must be to donate money without asking.

"How much do you donate?"

Jia asked consciously.

"One hundred taels of gold."

Jia Yi raised his head suddenly, one hundred taels of gold is 10,000 taels of silver, that is, 10,000 yuan, this is a huge amount of money for anyone, just to let the emperor know the name of their firm, it seems that this money is a bit big.

"What's your firm's name?"

"The World Chamber of Commerce."

It turned out to be the World Chamber of Commerce, when Jia Yi was kidnapped by Zhu Zhi last time, he learned from Zhu Zhi's mouth that he was hiding in the World Chamber of Commerce, and then borrowed the hand of the Chamber of Commerce to exchange the lease contract of 800 acres of river beach land for half a year for cash, and then under the operation of the Chamber of Commerce, he hired more than a dozen chivalrous people to take revenge on Jia Yi.

As for how big the World Chamber of Commerce is, Zhu Zhi is not clear, and Jia Yi is even more unclear, he only knows that the four square restaurants in Duqu County are the masterpieces of the World Chamber of Commerce.

"Okay, put down the gold, and you can go."

"Farewell"

Jia Yi opened the box and checked the amount of gold in the box, and made sure that there was no problem, then he raised his head with a puzzled face and looked at the back of the people of the world's merchants leaving, he was a little puzzled by what the world's chamber of commerce was just going to do, did they think that showing their faces in front of Li Er once could bring them more huge benefits? This is obviously unrealistic, the cost of any advertising has to be budgeted, and no one will put a lot of money into advertising in a hurry.

I couldn't figure it out, Jia Yi simply didn't think about it anymore, anyway, if he made money, it didn't matter how much money he gave.

Soon the money was summed up, a total of 113,500 taels, the banners have long been prepared, as long as the words are written on them, there is no need to embroider so troublesomely, as long as it can be guaranteed that the emperor can see it today, no one will care about the whereabouts of these banners after they come down.

The morning sun broke through the horizon and sprinkled the first rays of sunlight in the world, and the students who had sat on their side of the city all night saw the sun come out, not only did they not have any tired expressions on their faces, but they were more energetic one by one, as if they could really get the ten thousand.

"When the angel came, the decree came, and the people knelt ......"

A high-pitched eunuch yelled at the outside of the city, and everyone was stunned, and then they all fell to their knees.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said......"
