Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Great Rise of Local Tyrants
Yang Yu is now in a dilemma, his words have already been spread, and he can't break his word, besides, such a big piece of fat is placed in front of him, if he pushes it out, he is really sorry for his conscience.
On the other hand, he was under pressure from the Manchu ministers, and as a puppet, it didn't seem like a good idea to ignore these ministers himself.
Thinking that the huge wealth of millions of yuan was between his words, Yang Yu's heart was like dozens of kittens scratching at the same time, itching very much.
"Money! Don't don't donate in vain, if you dare to donate, I dare to accept it! ”
Yang Yu thought viciously in his heart, Yang Yu still has not been able to resist the temptation of money, although he has the prince's treasury, but it is not visible, with this money, most of the problem of the homeless people will be solved.
However, if it was just accepted so rudely, it didn't seem to be the work of a wise man, Yang Yu turned his mind and thought about it.
"Hey!"
Yang Yu sighed, looked up at a forty-five degree angle, and made a look of worrying about the country and the people.
"Yu is still young, he has no power to bind the chicken, he can't resist his shoulders, he can't pick his hands, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and watching tens of thousands of homeless people starve and suffer in Daxing, it's really like a knife."
"Wechen panic!" Yao Silian stood up, "His Royal Highness the Acting King has done enough for these tens of thousands of displaced people."
"No, this king can do better, now that there is such a good opportunity, tens of thousands of people can not starve, but this king is afraid." Yang Yu was immersed in his performance, and his voice was a little low.
"However, for the livelihood of tens of thousands of displaced people, it doesn't hurt that even this king bears infamy." Yang Yu slapped the table fiercely.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King,......" Yao Silian's eyes flashed, and he wanted to dissuade him, but he gave up in despair, he had a thousand reasons, and he was overshadowed in front of tens of thousands of mouths.
"If anyone dares to say His Royal Highness the Acting King, the slave is the first to be unwilling, you have already endured enough." Wang Xi choked up.
"Wechen and His Royal Highness the Acting King advance and retreat together." Yao Silian gritted his teeth and said.
In his opinion, the livelihood of tens of thousands of displaced people is all on the shoulders of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, which is such a heavy burden. Now there is an opportunity that can be solved once and for all, which no one can refuse.
"Yao Shiyu, you go and preside! Remember, only today. Yang Yu waved his hand.
Yao Silian bowed down and retreated, he was still very pleased with His Royal Highness the Acting King's approach, just open today, and both sides took a step back, so that there was also a reason to stop the mouths of those ministers, and there was no harm to them in giving relief to the homeless!
"Dong Yue!"
"The last general!"
Dong Yue had been guarding outside, and when he heard Yang Yu's call, he dodged in.
"The Disaster Relief Department will be heavily guarded, and no one will see this king today."
"Yes!"
Dong Yue responded heavily and took the order.
Today is going to be turbulent.
……
quiescence
An eerie silence.
As early as the first merchant said that he would donate 100,000 yuan, Xu Duo, who was responsible for receiving large donations, had already realized that it was not good, and immediately shut down the Disaster Relief Division and reported it directly to Lu Shang.
All the merchants consciously came to the long line, one by one the carriages lined up at the end of the street, and dozens of people lined up next to the carriages.
If Lu Ji was allowed to come over, he would definitely exclaim, these dozens of people were all wealthy businessmen who were in Daxing, and the Lu family's business was as weak as a child in front of them.
No one said a word, they were all waiting quietly, although they all knew that the car was full of money, and no one would be greedy for a moment at this moment, but would feel a tragic atmosphere.
Everyone was very worried in their hearts, and what His Royal Highness the Acting King said was angry words, and it was also angry words for the officials.
They seized this loophole and directly brought in 100,000 yuan, which is a bit of a forced palace.
It's a gamble! All the rich businessmen knew in their hearts that the gamble was His Royal Highness the Acting King.
If they fail, they will pay a heavy price, and they will face even greater repression by the bureaucracy! If you win the bet, you have the capital to save your life.
Time passed bit by bit, and the rich businessmen stared at the closed door without saying a word, and now there is no way out.
"Squeak!"
The closed door slowly opened, and everyone's hearts were pounding, and the fateful moment had arrived.
Yao Silian walked out, he felt the courage and tragedy of the businessmen, and he couldn't help but stagnate.
Although the Disaster Relief Department is presided over by His Royal Highness the Acting King, well-informed people know that most of the work is done by Yao Silian, the attendant of the East Palace, and his appearance can be said to represent the meaning of His Royal Highness the Acting King.
"They're also pathetic, and at the same time a bunch of crazy people." Looking at the long convoy and the neatly arranged wealthy businessmen, Yao Silian sighed in his heart.
These are all big and powerful figures, and it takes a lot of courage to risk angering the entire officialdom for the sake of a promise.
"Today only!"
Yao Silian didn't sell it, and said directly.
It worked!
His Royal Highness the Acting King agreed! Ecstasy, happiness, and satisfaction all came to my heart at the same time.
More wealthy businessmen couldn't restrain themselves and cried bitterly, they had waited too long for this moment.
"His Royal Highness King Xie Dai!"
Everyone knelt on the ground and saluted to the Disaster Relief Department, and after the excitement, a trace of guilt for His Royal Highness the Acting King spontaneously appeared.
It was too cruel for them to persecute a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy like this, although this thirteen or fourteen-year-old prince had done so many magical things.
"One hundred thousand times for the Du family in Beicheng!"
"Xifang Li family's 200,000 guan!"
……
One by one, the wealthy businessmen handed over the donation slips and watched a large amount of money enter the warehouse, which slightly alleviated Yang Yu's distress.
"Yanlailou is a million."
"How can a Yanlailou be rich." Yang Yu asked suspiciously.
"His Royal Highness the Acting King doesn't know that this Yanlai Building is not an ordinary place, but a chamber of commerce organization, and the wealthy businessmen in it are all operating the Silk Road, and they are also famous in Daxing."
Under Wang Xi's explanation, Yang Yu understood that Yanlailou was a chamber of commerce group.
The Silk Road is far away, the profits are amazing, and it is also accompanied by great risks, the sand thieves in the Western Regions, the bandits, and even the exploitation of small countries in the Western Regions, ten caravans set out, and it is lucky to be able to come back two.
These people work together to reduce risk on the one hand, and to crowd out other competitors on the other.
"What a tyrant!" Yang Yu sighed.
Yang Yu looked at the long list of huge donations, and in just a moment, the donations had already reached three million.
originally thought that after inheriting the prince's treasury, it was already a large amount of money, but compared to these people, it was still a small thing.
