Chapter 1178: My Traveler Grandson is a Little Stupid (16)
Wen Junhuai said something about the two of them and their behavior of saying that they would donate one million taels of silver.
It undoubtedly shocked everyone greatly.
Not only the guards of the forbidden army who were standing guard at the gate of the palace opened their mouths wide one by one.
Look at them in disbelief.
Even the two eunuchs who were waiting under the imperial list in the palace also asked several times.
Identified several times.
Only then did he look a little dazed and determined.
The other party really wants to donate one million taels of silver.
A number that none of them dared to imagine.
They didn't dare to call the shots for a while, and hurriedly sent a message to the back, asking people to tell the emperor the news.
It is to let the emperor make the decision.
It is also to tell the emperor the good news.
Yesterday, the emperor was distressed when he was forced by those ministers to take money from the inner treasury, and they were deeply impressed, and now there is no such thing as giving money to make the emperor happier, so naturally they have to send the news in quickly, so that the emperor can be a little happier.
Originally, the two of them thought that as long as they donated the money, they could wait for the reward, but they didn't expect that because they were the first to donate, the amount donated at the same time was also huge, more than twice as much as the civil and military donations of the Manchu Dynasty yesterday combined, so Emperor Wen Su, who received the news in the palace, immediately laughed happily twice and summoned them.
What happened after that is not to be said for now.
Before the two of them were summoned by the emperor, some people who were joining in the fun near the palace had already quickly spread the news that two fools had donated one million taels of silver.
And it quickly caused a sensation in the capital.
It didn't take long for it to spread all over the capital.
The discussion was called a lively one.
Some people scold, some people sigh, some people praise, some people say sour words, there are hundreds of people in the world, and there are hundreds of hearts, but no matter what, anyone who wants to face and face still has to be praised openly.
After all, this is a matter of loyalty and patriotism.
……
Inside the Jufeng Tea House.
"Oh my God, one million taels, I've never even seen ten thousand taels of silver in my life, which one is so extravagant that he is willing to spend his blood?"
As soon as they heard the news from the gate of the palace, the tea guests in the teahouse were immediately surprised and discussed in a lively and noisy manner.
"I can't imagine it.
However, I guess their family must have emptied their family funds to be able to take out so much silver.
Do you say that their family has committed something, and they want to spend money to settle it and have no connections, so they will donate so much silver, so much silver as soon as they donate, as long as their family is not a heinous crime, even Your Majesty is embarrassed to punish it, after all, as the saying goes, it is said that people are short-handed! ”
As the discussion heated.
It didn't take long for someone to speculate.
Guess if this is a money to buy a life.
Otherwise, who would be willing to donate so much money.
"If that's the case, it's really luck, if it weren't for the accident on the side of the Southern District Government, and the timing was so unfortunate, Your Majesty wouldn't have been able to raise donations at all."
"I think there's another possibility.
Didn't His Majesty write on the emperor's list that there would be a reward for donating money, maybe they just fancy this.
I want to exchange a million taels of silver for something.
Their donation is one million taels, no matter how embarrassed Your Majesty is to write a random family of goodness, no matter what, their family will definitely be able to leave a good impression in Your Majesty's mind, which is really hard to buy! ”
Some people guess that they spend money to buy their lives, and naturally some people guess that their family wants to fight for the richest of the rich.
A lot of times a lot of things aren't hard to guess.
It can even be regarded as a conspiracy.
But there is really courage and confidence.
Or how many people can have the capital to raise a million taels of silver in a very short period of time?
It is a family that can make up enough millions of taels of silver in a very short time, and there are not a few people in the entire capital.
Some of them are selling their daughters.
relied on his daughter's dowry to maintain a luxurious life.
So even if someone knows they're doing it for a benefit, no one is going to imitate it.
Isn't it fragrant to use a million taels yourself?
Isn't it fragrant to pass it on to future generations?
Why use so much silver, to fight for a benefit that I don't know if I can get, the past is not without relevant examples, decades ago during the first emperor's years, there were also merchants who donated hundreds of thousands of taels, and in the end they only got a virtual title that could not be inherited, and the generation was gone, and there was no comparison with those titles that could be hereditary.
The crowd here is very excited to discuss for others whether it is worth it?
Wen Junhuai and his wife were summoned by the emperor.
And the news that he was given an earl and two second-grade orders came again.
Those two second-grade fates.
Undoubtedly, one is Winhu's.
There is also an arbor.
Now everyone is even more embarrassed.
Most people think that one million taels for three things that can only be used on contemporary people is too unwise and cost-effective.
However, at this time, Wen Hu and Wen Junhuai were very satisfied, and they laughed like a peony flower on the way home with the eunuch who followed the edict, until the two of them arrived home and received the holy decree written by the emperor, and they did not restrain the smile on their faces.
provoked the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law to be very jealous, after all, one of the two of them was only a seven-grade fate, and the other didn't even have a fate.
Now it was the second family who had the least chance to get the edict before, and they jumped on their heads by spending money, so when the eunuch left the decree, the two of them began to say sour things.
It's good to have money, and use the money in your mother-in-law's hand to stick your own honor or something.
Qiao Mu knew that his previous behavior had not leveled out a bowl of water, so he didn't stop her two daughters-in-law when they only said a sour word or two, but who knew that the two of them seemed to be encouraged, and they became more and more excessive.
At this moment, Qiao Mu couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately slammed the table hard and scolded angrily:
"You both shut up for me.
You think I'm unjust, don't you? ”
"Don't be in a hurry to refute, today the old body will personally tell you why the old body did this.
When you got married, the old body gave you the same property, all of which were assets worth 100,000 taels of silver, but the two of you did not manage well and almost went bankrupt.
You're living so comfortably now.
That's not all the work of the second child.
Also, did they donate money to your family's money this time, didn't they use all the money they earned themselves, and used a penny in the public treasury?
What qualifications do you have to say such sour words?
If you have the ability, you can donate it yourself! ”
"Mother-in-law, but didn't you also give more than 300,000 taels of silver, we ...... all of this silver?"
The old family's daughter-in-law is still a little dissatisfied.
According to the practice of each family, most of the assets of the family were inherited by the eldest son of the family.
It was the old lady's private treasury.
That's when their family inherits more.
Why do you give favors to the second family.
"Heh, are you going to laugh at the old man?
My more than 300,000 taels of silver, didn't I exchange it for a second-grade fate, but I got together with the second family to make the numbers look better.
What's wrong? You also want a commandment.
You don't want to think about it, if you also get a second-grade fate, how do you let the boss behave.
He is a seventh-grade official and marries a second-grade official.
Although it is a bit ugly to say that spending money to buy a knighthood and buy a destiny, it is the second child's ability to make money, and he earns it by himself.
Why not?
If you have the ability, you can toss it yourself. ”
Qiao Mu immediately sneered again.
mocked.
