However, no matter how difficult the household is, it is obvious that the millions of displaced people in the southern district government cannot be left alone, if this is the case, I am afraid that the chaotic place in another month will not only be the southern district government.

Therefore, after the Hubu Shangshu confessed the amount of money and grain remaining in the treasury and the date of the autumn collection and return to the treasury, the ministers finally hit the emperor's inner treasury, hoping that the emperor would generously donate and use the money from the imperial treasury to fill it for the time being.

Wait for the return of the tax to the treasury and then return to the inner treasury.

After all, no matter what, this world is the emperor's world, not the world of their ministers, and now when there is really a shortage of money, it should be the emperor who pays for it himself.

How can you do your own business.

The truth of making someone else pay for it.

It was easy for those ministers to touch their lips up and down, but the one on the dragon chair was reluctant.

The treasury and the treasury have been completely separated many years ago, and even he, the emperor, is difficult to make money from the treasury, so this treasury is the money of the standard country, nominally saying that the whole world belongs to the emperor, but in fact, he really can't use the money in this treasury.

All he could use was the inner library.

Equivalent to their royal private money.

He can use the money however he wants.

Like what emperor eats and drinks every day, gives rewards to others, repairs a garden or something, it doesn't have to be taken out of the inner treasury by himself, and now these ministers want him to take out millions of taels of silver from the inner treasury at once to come out for disaster relief, this is no longer cutting meat with a blunt knife, this is simply cutting his thigh.

Therefore, he was naturally unwilling.

Under the stalemate between the two parties, Emperor Wen Su was unwilling to pay for it alone after all, and finally forcibly ordered the ministers of the court and the central government to donate together, and after they each donated a figure that satisfied him.

That's when the ministers were let go.

And it was already the middle of the night.

The next day, Emperor Wen Su, who felt sorry for his private treasury all night, made a commotion again, that is, to send a list to persuade donations, and persuade the people in the capital to donate.

It was less than seven o'clock in the morning.

The emperor's list has been plastered all over the capital.

……

Xicheng District, in the courtyard at the end of Huaishan Street

Qiao Mu and his family were busy until midnight last night, so they put the things they brought over properly, no, they got up late in the morning, and they didn't get up until about seven o'clock to have breakfast.

At the same time, he also sent people out to inquire about the latest news in the capital, so that they could properly understand the latest situation.

Make appropriate responses or changes.

It didn't take long for them to be precise, before they finished breakfast, the literate butler who had been sent out hurriedly ran in, whispering and giving priority to Qiao Mu and them about the Huangbang outside.

And then I was ready to talk about other new news.

However, after listening to the news of the emperor's list, Qiao Mu was no longer in the mood to listen to other news.

When even waved his hand to let him go down first.

Then he asked the two maids who were waiting on the side to go down, and when only their family was left in the house, he said solemnly:

"Second family, this is a good opportunity.

You also heard it just now, the emperor asked everyone to donate enthusiastically, and you are willing to give rewards for the large amount of donations, you don't have any idea about this? ”

"Well, you donated the money you originally bribed?"

Wen Hu is also bold.

Even if he said thoughtfully.

"Not enough, not enough.

It's a great opportunity to make a name for yourself.

If we want to donate, then we can't donate thousands of hundreds, or even tens of thousands of taels are not enough.

It's best to let the emperor remember.

That will not only be good for your family, but also for the eldest and third families.

But after donating, the emperor praised a sentence or two, then the old family's promotion can be better, and the third family can have a slight advantage when they go back to the Jinshi, and more importantly, the reward, even if the reward is less, even if the emperor just personally writes the family of goodness to your family.

That's also more reliable than the royal merchant mentioned earlier.

So don't be stingy this time, you can give as much as you can, and I'd rather live a hard life for a while.

You'll have to find a way to win the jackpot.

Also, don't donate too late, preferably the first one, and donate earlier and more, the better.

The second family, have you ever understood?

How much money do you have left at home? ”

This kind of thing, even if it is for the sake of being an example, it can't be harsh to the one or two who donated the first and the most, it just so happens that their family background is too low, and they are tied to many things.

There's also a traverser at home who is making trouble.

There may be many more good things to come up with in the future, so this kind of opportunity cannot be missed.

This is not something that happens very often.

But even so, even if Qiao Mu said it so thoroughly, it still made several people in the family gasp, and they all thought about it?

"Mother-in-law, you should be able to make up six or seven hundred thousand taels.

If something is sold.

A million taels can also be scraped together.

However, this has to be done with money from the public treasury. ”

Wen Hu was also quite straightforward and said directly.

"That's it, don't touch the money in the public treasury.

After all, this matter can still be done in the name of your family, the boss and the third child are destined to be officials in the future, and the boss is now an official, if he does this in his name, he will not be able to be a person in the officialdom.

I still have a lot of gold and silver in my private treasury.

How much you lack will be made up for you.

No matter what, you have to make up a million taels.

Okay, don't delay, hurry up and raise money now, and I'll also go to open a private treasury, so there are not many opportunities to buy honor with money, hurry, hurry.

If you're lucky, you might even get a knighthood. ”

The other officials may have only donated a few hundred taels or a few thousand taels, and the most may not be ten thousand taels, if this matter is done in the name of their family boss Wen Junsi, it will undoubtedly offend all the officials in the court, this Qiao Mu saw it very clearly, so he said so.

As Qiao Mu finished speaking, the matter was completely settled, although Wen Hu was distressed, he also forcibly suppressed her husband, who still wanted to speak, and cooperated with Qiao Mu to hurry up and raise money.

With the cooperation of the two, it didn't take long to almost empty their private houses, and it was not easy to scrape together a million taels of silver, of course, some of which were taken out of the money bank by Wen Hu's temporary spending of the family's silver tickets.

This part of the money was originally intended to buy land in the capital or something, but now it is important to donate, so it can only be used first.

Such a sum of money was put together.

Their family can be said to be really damaged.

Even if you sell all the soap, you can't fill it.

But anyway.

It's a good thing to gamble on.

As soon as the money was ready, Wen Hu immediately took the imperial list with her husband and some servants at home, and pushed the silver to the gate of the palace.

He said that he would donate money to support the country.

The world is blessed by the country, and I dare not forget what I have done.

In short, it's a big fart, blow the emperor first, and then talk about yourself, creating a loyal and patriotic image for their family.

Of course, this is what the arbor taught in advance.
