Chapter 33: Donations
Before Yang Dewen finished speaking, the powerful and rich people below began to discuss.
Although a big city like Mingzhou City is still relatively safe, the money of many rich businessmen does not fall from the sky, they need someone to do business, some large business contacts, many rich businessmen here, and even have to complete the transaction themselves.
Recently, there have been a lot more hungry people outside, and these extremely hungry people dare to do anything in order to eat and survive.
"Yes, these hungry people are getting more and more bold now, just a month ago, the owner of the big winery outside the city, I heard that on the way back from the capital, was robbed and robbed by a group of hungry people, and in the end not only their own lives were lost, but also the lives of many people."
"Alas! Who's to say it isn't? Just a few days ago, Boss Li, who went to Huchu to sell grain, was also robbed when he returned to Mingzhou, he was very lucky, and those people didn't want his life. ”
"That's it, that is, those people used to only grab food, but now they don't even let go of other goods, the money boss of Dongcheng Silk Village, a batch of silk that came in, also had an accident on the road."
"If the imperial court doesn't increase relief efforts, something really will happen to the Great Qin Empire."
"It's so easy to say, the imperial court has not made any progress in the past few years, and even the old money accumulated before has been tossed up by the disasters in the past few years, what can be used to help the victims."
"Yes! This young man is not wrong, we should have money and food, and find a way to stabilize these victims. ”
"To put it lightly, whose money is not hard-earned, let you donate the money and food, are you willing?"
"If everyone refuses to donate, the world will be in chaos, and it will not do us any good, and if those who are in chaos and attack the city and seize the land, those of us who have money and food will become the object of their plunder.
When the time comes, we won't be able to keep it at all, we can't do it well, and we will take the lives of the whole family, so it's better for everyone to donate a little now, the victims will have something to eat, and no one will come out to rebel, as long as they are not about to starve to death, no one is willing to risk killing their heads. ”
"We encourage donations, but we don't force everyone to donate, donate more and donate less, everyone has their own hearts, as long as they are willing to donate, we all welcome them." Yang Dewen continued to speak on stage.
"Now that the charity dinner has officially begun, first of all, we will invite Du Qiniang from Wanhualou to sing for everyone.
During the party, everyone can reward the major Oiran who sang on stage, and the person who rewarded the most will enjoy a toast of the Oiran.
The guests who need to be rewarded only need to raise your hand, and the people arranged by our palace will count the amount of your donation, and you don't need to take out the cash or silver ticket immediately, you only need to pay the donation to the Ming Wangfu within three days after the dismissal, and you can do it.
In addition, we will announce the amount of each person's donation, and send people to announce it in major crowded places in Mingzhou City.
At the same time, we will also announce the purpose and destination of individual donations, so that everyone can clearly see where the money they donate is spent.
At the same time, we will also select the top ten benevolent people of the month in Mingzhou City at the end of each month, and the top ten benevolent people of the year at the end of the year.
The annual Top Ten Good People will also have the opportunity to participate in the selection of the Top Ten Good People of the Great Qin Empire, and those who are rated as the Top Ten Good People of Great Qin will be personally received by His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Du Qiniang of Wanhualou is playing and singing stage, so in normal times, it will definitely become the focus of everyone's attention.
But the rich and powerful people present now did not put their minds on appreciating Du Qiniang's performance.
Everyone is talking enthusiastically, what Yang Dewen just said, what is the selection of the top ten good people in Mingzhou.
Du Qiniang's performance ended, but no one in the audience raised their hands to say that they wanted to donate.
Prince Ming and His Majesty the Emperor frowned deeply, and they seemed to be unable to smile anymore.
"What the hell is this, this script is not played like this! It's too special to bully people, could it be that these ancient people are all hard-hearted. In Yang Dewen's heart, it seemed that there were 10,000 horses galloping by.
"I donate...... Donate a hundred taels of silver,...... Used to buy food,...... Distribute it to the victims who have no rice to cook. Just when Yang Dewen doubted his life, a young man raised his hand, stood up and said with some trepidation.
This girl is Xiao Yue, what she thinks is that she wants to help her eldest brother Yang Dewen, if there is no Yang Dewen, she doesn't know what kind of life she and Miss will live, it shouldn't be better than now!
"I only have so much silver, don't think I'm donating too little." Xiao Yue saw that everyone was looking at her, and the scene suddenly became quiet, and Xiao Yue, who was a little panicked in her heart, couldn't help but say a few more words.
Slap in the face! What is called a slap in the face, this is called a slap in the face, a young girl knows that she donates her few pocket money to help the victims, (at least many people think that the 100 taels of silver is Xiaoyue's pocket money.) There are so many wealthy businessmen and magnates here, when they go to visit the Qinglou, they spend more than that.
For a while, the wealthy businessmen and magnates present all raised their hands and shouted loudly: "I will donate five hundred taels." ”
"I'll donate a thousand taels."
"I'll donate three thousand taels."
"I'll donate 10,000 taels."
"I'll donate five thousand taels."
“……”
“……”

"It's successful, congratulations to Your Majesty, my Great Qin is saved." Prince Ming said excitedly to the emperor.
"Second brother, rejoice, rejoice! You've picked up a good son! The emperor also said happily.
"This is all Xiaotian's friendship outside, and the younger brother is just because he dotes on Xiaotian's child, and he is afraid that he will be too lonely.
sent someone to investigate the other party, and found that the other party was quite innocent, so he took the opportunity to recognize them as righteous sons and righteous daughters, I really didn't expect them to help so much. Ming Wang Ye explained.
"This is probably in the dark, Emperor Taizu Taizong has a spirit in the sky, protecting the foundation of my Great Qin Empire, so that Xiao Tian has the opportunity to get acquainted with this Yang Dewen, well! And this girl named Xiaoyue. The Emperor said.
After the performance of another Qinglou Oiran, Yang Dewen took the stage again and said to everyone: "Thank you to all of you here, enthusiastically donate money to the victims, in order to thank everyone for coming, and for your generosity to the victims, I specially donated a treasure, which was obtained by chance."
See, this thing will spit out flames with a light touch of your hand, and even the wind will not extinguish it. If you are interested, you can come forward and take a closer look. ”
Something that can breathe fire, and even the wind can't extinguish it, naturally arouses everyone's curiosity, and many people come forward to see what it is.
