Yang Xiaoyu cleared his throat and said: "The benevolent merchant list, which means a businessman with a benevolent and righteous heart, all the rich businessmen who can be on the benevolent merchant list, his name will be hung under the noon gate wall, admired by the people, famous all over the world." ”

Businessmen who do business can be said to be trustworthy and sincere, if they can be on the list of benevolent businessmen of the government, it is also a kind of praise for their reputation, and they can also establish integrity in business because of such a good reputation in the future, make friends with more businessmen, and earn more silver.

"My lord, the old man and the other twelve people are willing to give 600,000 taels of silver!" The septuagenarian merchant in front of him stood up and said busily.

Yang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "In this way, please stand up and write down your names and the amount of silver you donate, tomorrow at noon, you will send silver tickets, and the official will distribute the treasures given by the saint to you." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

The seventy-year-old businessman hurriedly beckoned his friends to come forward and set their names.

"Wait a minute!"

A middle-aged man in his forties sitting in the middle stood up and shouted, "My lord, Huang is willing to donate three million taels of silver!" ”

Moment!

The lobby was all stunned!

Yang Xiaoyu and a group of officials from the Beizhen Fusi Division were also shocked.

After a while, Yang Xiaoyu was the first to react and asked, "You want to donate three million taels of silver?" ”

"Lord Hui, Huang donated three million taels of silver, can he get the treasure rewarded by the emperor?" The middle-aged man slowly stepped forward and asked.

Yang Xiaoyu was sure that he had heard correctly, this person was going to donate three million taels of silver, and said with a smile: "Not bad." If thou wilt give three million taels of silver, all the twelve treasures will be yours. ”

"Rest assured, you can rest assured that there is a Yangzhou salt merchant below, and you can still get it for only three million taels of silver!" The middle-aged man did not have a trace of pain on his face, and laughed loudly.

When the crowd heard. It turned out to be a salt merchant in Yangzhou, no wonder he was rich and rich, and he could make three million taels of silver.

Yang Xiaoyu smiled, it turned out to be a member of the Huang family in Yangzhou, no wonder he had such a big spirit, and immediately smiled: "Yangzhou Huang, Zhao, Li, Wang, the four major salt merchants have already heard of it, since Mr. Huang has paid three million taels of silver, please come forward and write down his name." Tomorrow before noon, bring money and receive the reward. ”

"Lord Yang has a good memory!"

The middle-aged man flattered, hurriedly took the pen from the scribe's hand, and wrote down the amount of money donated and his name.

Yang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, he really deserves to be a salt merchant, he is extremely well-informed, he came to Beizhen Fusi to work, I thought that only the Shen family knew. Unexpectedly, even Yangzhou salt merchants knew about it.

The septuagenarian in the hall looked at the middle-aged man stepping forward to write his name, and his face ached. However, people have a lot of money and don't care about such a little silver.

But they can't, they are all northern merchants, and they are all doing small businesses of grain, wine, rice, and meat, which are not comparable to salt merchants.

Moreover, the salt merchant also called out the surname of the official on the throne. It can be seen that they are all acquaintances.

The septuagenarian sighed and took the other reluctant companions back to the table and sat down.

The middle-aged man wrote his name and the number of silver, and Tiqi took the booklet up for Yang Xiaoyu to see, and after Yang Xiaoyu read it, he said to the middle-aged man: "There are many people here. It's inconvenient for the official to keep you here, you can go back first, and the official will send two hundred households to protect you later! ”

"Thank you Lord Yang for your kindness, Huang farewell!"

The middle-aged man guessed that Yang Xiaoyu was worried that someone would kill him, so he sent someone to protect him.

After the middle-aged man left, Yang Xiaoyu turned around and instructed Zhou Heguang for a few moments, and then said to the people in the hall: "Everyone, the list of benevolent merchants is the same, whoever donates more silver, whose name can be ranked first, and everyone can report the number of silver donated!" ”

"The old man donated 100,000 taels of silver!"

The septuagenarian old man saw that the emperor's treasures were taken away, and he was unwilling, he must win the first place on the list of benevolent merchants, so he shouted loudly.

Everyone in the hall is a wealthy businessman who is famous in the capital, and who doesn't want to have a reputation for integrity and benevolence.

"One hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver!" A rich boy dressed in silk and satin stood up and said.

"Give 150,000 taels of silver!" Another pot-bellied middle-aged man stood up and shouted.

"Three hundred thousand taels of silver!"

As soon as these words fell, everyone in the hall gasped, in order to occupy a first place, someone was willing to pay 300,000 taels of silver.

Many merchants who are ready to add more silver can't help but stop drumming, they can add more silver, others can also add, when the time comes, a first place in the list of benevolent merchants does not know how much silver, it is better to save the silver, take the second name and the third name.

Seeing that no one was competing with him for the first name, a wealthy merchant hurriedly snatched the pen from the scribe's hand and wrote down his name and the amount of silver he had donated.

Yang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Can you give money to compete for the second ranking of the benevolent business list?" ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand taels!" The septuagenarian roared loudly, and the eardrums of everyone in the hall were painful, which showed that he was determined to win.

Some businessmen who wanted to compete with the old man also kept their mouths shut and stopped talking.

In this way, the second place was won by the septuagenarian for 150,000 taels of silver.

Immediately afterwards, the third place was snatched by a middle-aged man for 100,000 taels of silver.

Most of the money from the people below is about 50,000 yuan.

………

Midnight!

Yang Xiaoyu glanced at the account book, there were twenty-seven people who donated more than 20,000 taels of silver, the names of these people can be on the list of benevolent merchants, and the most donated silver by other merchants was 10,000 taels, and the least was 1,000 taels.

In one night, counting the three million taels of silver from Yangzhou salt merchants, the silver for the preparation of the lanterns was about four million taels.

The Ming Dynasty held the most lanterns in the Wuzong period, spending no more than one million taels of silver.

Now, with more than 4 million taels of silver, Yang Xiaoyu thought about taking out 500,000 taels to hold the lantern festival, and another 2 million taels to contribute to the imperial court to increase the salary of the border army, adding some promotion chips for himself, and preparing another 1 million taels of silver for the carpenter emperor, and the remaining 500,000 taels of silver were thrown to Beizhen Fusi 200,000 taels, and then to the deputy town envoy and thousands of households, and all he could have left was 100,000 taels of silver.

Before the silver arrived, Yang Xiaoyu was already thinking about how to spend it!

After the miscellaneous servants finished cleaning up the hall of the propagate family, Yang Xiaoyu waved his hand and called two deputy town envoys and five thousand households, and ordered: "Tomorrow, Lord Huang and Lord Ding are responsible for collecting the silver, Zhou Qianhu will take Ti to ride on the street to clean up the road, and Bao Qianhu will post a list outside the city, so that the people can watch the lanterns under the noon gate in the evening of the Shangyuan Festival, Cheng Qianhu will lead his subordinates to charter all the jugglers in the capital, and let them start performing on the street on the Shangyuan Festival. ”

Yang Xiaoyu paused and said, "Geng Qianhu guards the edict prison, don't slack off!" ”

Everyone shouted, "Yes!" ”

It was already past midnight, and Yang Xiaoyu was also tired, so he immediately waved his hand to let everyone go back to rest, and he took people back to the house.
