Chapter 409: Man is better than man to death
After listening to the words of the wealthy businessman surnamed Li, the Wannian County Commander almost couldn't get up in one breath, and suffocated himself to death. I finally relieved myself and tried my best to hide my shock, and I couldn't help but start thinking in my heart.
If there are a few more such huge donations, what is the scale of this academy in Wannian County? This is definitely a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and invisible wealthy businessmen are not very rare, judging from the enthusiasm shown by the wealthy businessmen surnamed Li, those wealthy businessmen should also be able to give generously.
The total amount of funds raised in this way will definitely be quite a large amount, so the original plan to call it a grass hall will definitely not come to pass, and the academies that cost at least tens of thousands of yuan to build are called "grass halls", so what can those real grass halls do.
"Is it really 5,000?" Mei Zizi thought about the bright prospects, and the Wannian County Commander asked a little bit about gains and losses, for fear that this rich businessman surnamed Li was just impulsive.
"What? Doesn't that guarantee that a certain person will get the first few places? The wealthy businessman surnamed Li asked with some surprise, but he was not embarrassed to ask directly if he could ensure the first.
It was really the county magistrate who just said that the rich businessman surnamed Xu had put too much pressure on him, and he and the one who had always been the strongest competitors in Wannian County were quite in love with each other, and they definitely didn't want to fall behind each other in such a matter, especially when it was about fame and even fate.
"It shouldn't be a big problem, you'll find out later." The county commander nodded with a smile and said, in fact, his heart is really not as calm as it seems on the surface.
just looked at the other party's excited blood-red eyes, but he didn't dare to stimulate him anymore, if this was withdrawn, where would he find such a good breakthrough.
After coming out of Li's house with satisfaction, the county magistrate went to the home of the merchant surnamed Xu more calmly, and this time he got a satisfactory result in a shorter time.
In and out of the major luxury merchants in this way, he quickly completed his task, and it was overfulfilled, thinking that he should have the opportunity to show his face in this way, and it can be regarded as not insulting His Royal Highness the Prince.
A similar situation was also staged in Dengzhou, and Shi Tingshi also got a note, relying on the preferential conditions of erecting a monument and biography, and easily expanded the situation.
The final result is also quite gratifying, but the pressure he faces is also no less than that of Wannian County, there is no shortage of people in the family under the rule of Wannian County, not to mention Dengzhou, a place where culture and education are thriving, and the forces are also very complicated, otherwise the Dengzhou army will not let people infiltrate like a sieve.
Fortunately, because of Lin Sen's ventilation, Cheng Yanjin and others, who were still relatively influential in their hometown, expressed their support early on, and they also wanted to earn a good reputation in their hometown, so the situation on Shi Tingshi's side opened earlier.
Coupled with Shi Shi's active response to the previous floods, especially the later move to Chang'an to sell dried fish, it brought him enough prestige, and this time he was out of the limelight, and there was already a voice that it was time to promote him to the center.
Canton is a different story, because an alliance of interests has been reached on the Spice Island, and the overall atmosphere in Canton is quite harmonious and loving.
The assassin over there just said that he needed support, and the local faction led by Feng An, as well as the caravans under the various nobles, and even the merchants over there all contributed generously, probably the fastest place to complete the task.
With this dazzling performance, seeing that the desire of Guangzhou Thorn History to return to Chang'an City is about to come true.
Cheng Yanjin: They are already working on a person of their own, or at least someone who is not the opposite, to come and take over this important position.
In this way, at the court meeting, Li Chengqian simply praised these three by name, praising them as examples of dedication to their duties, and decided on the spot to spread the news of everyone's donation to build the academy to the world, so that people from all over the world could witness the good deeds of these people.
These three places, which are typical representatives, are naturally the top priority, not only to be publicized in various places, but also to be announced in Chang'an City, and in densely populated places such as the gates of the East and West Cities, and at the gates of several major cities in Chang'an City, special arrangements have been made for small officials to go over and be responsible for preaching to the ordinary people.
Just if you look closely, you will find that the list of donors in Wannian County and Dengzhou City is so coincidental that everyone else is written on the same piece of paper, filling this paper to the brim.
The names of those who donated less had to be written on another piece of paper, probably in order to fill the paper as well, and the names and donations would naturally be written larger, and the two pieces of paper could be regarded as a sharp contrast.
At this moment, a rich businessman surnamed Li is on the list, and a great benevolent person who donated half of his family wealth at once, even at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good place is also a very amazing good deed, and he has naturally become a good person praised by everyone.
Now when you go out casually, you can get a lot of smiling faces from guys who didn't treat him very well, and others also praise him, feeling that he has more face, and his chest and belly are called a raised eyebrows.
But those people in the family who only donated five yuan are treated to the other extreme.
"This is still a family known as a family of poetry and books, and the academy is embarrassed to donate only five times?
Last time, who went to the brothel to fight with someone for a clean man, but he spent a lot of money, it seems that this book has been read in the dog's belly, I bah! ”
"How good it is to shout at yourself every day, this is the original form, five dollars, send a meal! ......"
"Bullshit and good people, on the surface, they are sanctimonious, they are thieves and prostitutes, and they are thieves!"
……
And so on all kinds of scolding is really endless, in front of the family's five thousands, the family seems to have agreed on five dollars is simply a joke.
Everyone knows how extravagant their lives are, even if they didn't know it originally, this time they all know it under the popularity of some enthusiastic people, what hundreds of dollars a piece of paper, hundreds of brushes, hundreds of inkstones are used, a meal is dozens of times spent, and a dress that looks inconspicuous but is worth a thousand gold is worn, but such people say that they can only take out five pieces of money to support the construction of the academy, which is also known as the family that hopes that the world is the most scholar, can you ask for Bilian?
"Oh no...... Oh no...... "As the news spread, and then saw the people who were secretly poking and scolding their families, naturally some of the descendants of the family found out that the situation was not good, and after understanding the cause and effect, they quickly reported the matter.
The people of the family quickly realized that something was wrong, and for them, this was tantamount to a big crisis.
The reason why they have so much confidence and don't even sell the face of Li Shimin, the emperor, is not because of their unparalleled fame in the final analysis.
After Li Shimin's previous suppression, including the corrupt officials cleaned up by the new bookkeeping method, and the heavenly punishment suffered by the Cui family, etc., their reputation is much worse than before, but after all, they still have so many years of accumulated influence.
But this incident is tantamount to exposing their true colors, and it will be a devastating blow if it is not, so they can't care about it.
