Chapter 878: Then What Face Does He Have to See His Ancestors and Ancestors?
Because the merchants are highly mobile, it is not easy to gather, and now they are in a hurry; Second, most of the merchants are hoarders, and there may not be much cash on hand.
At the moment, he said slowly: "What Yu Shilang said is a solution. However, for the sake of all things, you should think carefully about how much money you can take out, I don't want you for nothing, I can personally set up a certificate and return it in full in the future. ”
The officials looked at each other.
The emperor has said everything about this, and they can't say anything for a while. The emperor didn't wait for them to refute, and said, "Ji Aiqing, you can start handling this matter." At the latest, three days later, I will know the result, and this matter cannot be delayed. ”
In other words, three days is already the deadline, whether it is okay or not, if it is okay, it is necessary to count the number, and it depends on whether it is enough.
Although Jingcheng Pass has been occupied by the enemy, it is useless to be in a hurry, but if it drags on for too long, maybe those barbarians will continue to attack the nearby city.
It can be said that the pass is lost, but if the city is lost, then what face does he have to see the ancestors and ancestors?
Prime Minister Ji smiled bitterly and received the order.
Two ways, two things, are not good errands! It's all about offending people, and it's very troublesome.

Du Zhengyan went home and called Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao to the study.
The situation was complicated, the matter was urgent, and he did not turn a corner.
"Now the army is about to be launched, but due to the lack of silver taels, the grain and grass are not complete." The two of you have closed their wineries for a few days recently, or transferred out, and now the country is in trouble, and some people in the court are angry with your winery and are targeting you. Jiaojiao, although you have a favor with the emperor, but today is different from the past, the emperor is so anxious that his hair turns gray for the matter of Jingchengguan, if someone has to provoke it, the situation may be extremely unfavorable to you......"
The so-called companion is like a tiger.
If you're not careful, you'll be devoured and you'll be left with no bones left.
Du Zhengyan remembered the frame that Yu Jia's family had been stirring up everywhere this morning......
The Yu family had just sold his favor to the emperor before, first he voluntarily bought the title at a high price, and then he was the first to jump out and be willing to lead troops to fight in Jingchengguan, although the emperor did not choose him in the end, but he at least took the lead and set a good example.
These two times were great favors to the emperor, which understood the emperor's mind and gave the emperor enough face.
The emperor's attitude towards his family has been clearly affinity recently.
Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao glanced at each other.
In the past few days, the situation in the capital has been turbulent, and both of them have been paying attention to it.
Xu Jiaojiao said, "We understand what Dad means." It's just that if you are targeted, suspend business, or change shops, it is not the best way, plus the national disaster is at the head, if the treasury is really empty, affecting the victory or defeat of the war, then we can't stand by for the sake of selfishness. In fact, I have discussed with my husband in the past two days, and we plan to donate all the money recently earned by the liquor store to the imperial court for the purchase of military supplies......"
As soon as the words came out, Du Zhengyan was stunned for a while.
"Donate?? It's a great idea! I think your winery business is quite good, and it makes a lot of profits, but it hasn't been open for a long time, how much do you plan to donate? ”
Rather than being forcibly recruited or sealed, it is better to take the initiative to donate some yourself.
Turning passivity into initiative can not only benefit the country and the people, but also sell the emperor a good son.
The way is good, but the key is to be willing.
Money is a good thing, and many people are busy all their lives, isn't it just for one money?
Man dies for money, and birds die for food.
Xu Jiaojiao can have this heart to donate money, which is already a rare generosity, especially since she is still a rural village woman.
Liao Qing said, "Dad, Jiaojiao and I think that we will donate all the income of the recent winery, about 5,000 taels, and we will continue to donate the income in the later period, donate as much as we sell, and donate all the wine in this batch of Beijing wineries." We don't have much ability, we can only do our best, the country is in trouble, the husband is responsible, I and Jiaojiao are duty-bound. ”
Du Zhengyan is really moved now!
Donate it all!
Five thousand taels!!
The liquor store has only been open for a month or two, and it has such a high income!
Is this a liquor store? This is a gold shop!
A month's income can buy a house in the capital, and this ability to attract money is simply terrifying.
This is still just beginning to settle in the capital, the roots have not yet taken root, if there are no major changes in the future, the development prospects are getting better and better, and the ability to earn income is stronger.
"You don't have to donate it all, do you? Donate 1,200 taels, it's almost OK? You keep some capital, this cost is not small......"
The country is in trouble, but it can't catch his son's sheep and fight desperately.
The power of a single family cannot solve the country's difficulties.
Sons and daughters-in-law are at most rookies in the business world, and the real riches are still those old gluttons and wealthy families, who is not better than them?
Liao Qing said, "It's okay, Dad, we have removed the costs, these are all net profits, and they are all donated, which is a piece of my heart and Jiaojiao." ”
Xu Jiaojiao also nodded.
Of course, it is in addition to the cost, otherwise, the country winery can't lose money, and there are so many thousands of miles to transport it, the freight will be a lot, she and Liao Qing don't have a lot of savings, but they can't post it if they want to.
Du Zhengyan was speechless.
Finally, he said, "OK, donate!!" Since we want to donate, we also have to build momentum, the emperor now wants to be effective, not a donation from one or two businessmen, one or two can't solve the urgent needs of the imperial court. Tomorrow ......"
A reminder of teaching.
Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao glanced at each other and agreed.
Du Zhengyan means that Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing are the initiators, and they are doing donation activities at the gate of Qingxi Distillery, calling on neighbors and merchants to do something, how much is meaningful, get donations, and then hand them over to the imperial court together.
This makes it even more powerful and impressive.
This is also a disguised idea of targeting people with ulterior motives in the upper part of the imperial court, who want to attack the merchants who raise fat, and the family of the big merchants is also accumulated by the hard work of several generations, and they will confiscate the family property or something if they are convicted casually, which is too ruthless and contrary to normal morality.
However, the national crisis is at hand, the treasury is empty, and silver money is really needed, so it is better to give everyone a chance.
Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing took the lead, and if others responded well, this donation could kill multiple birds with one stone.
"Also, the tree is a big wind, how much money you donate can be said to be years of savings, don't say that it is net income in these two months, it will save it from causing pink eye and causing unnecessary trouble in the future."
