Chapter 338: Who Touched the Silver?
Chapter 338: Who Touched the Silver?
Mu Li didn't expect that because of one of his kind suggestions, he would bother Zhang Guifei to write a letter to inform him personally, and he was really embarrassed.
"Alas, why is Zhang Guifei still involved in this matter."
Mu Li looked at the letter sent by Zhang Guifei, and read it over and over again, Zhang Guifei's personality Mu Li is clear, she can write a letter to persuade her, all for her own good.
Mu Li asked Xiaohong to put away Zhang Guifei's letter, then walked to the door of the room, leaning against the door. Mu Li looked up at the sky and sighed.
It seems that it is impossible to make a difference here, so it is better to keep to the position of the princess and help as much as you can.
Mu Li took out part of the money earned by Yixiangfang and specially donated it to the poor families in the village to help them tide over the difficulties. As soon as this incident came out, some villagers were greedy for the money and pretended to receive relief silver.
"What, the money has been distributed?"
The little guy came to report that the silver given by Mu Li was distributed in four or five days, and now there are still a bunch of people waiting outside to receive the silver.
Mu Li's gift was not a small amount, he deliberately paid five thousand taels from the counter, thinking that it should be able to last for more than half a year, who knew that it would be so fast, it really surprised Mu Li.
Mu Li still doesn't believe it, how can there be so many poor people. When I went out of the mansion, I saw that there was really a long line of people lined up at the side door of the prince's mansion, waiting for the silver.
There are no natural disasters, and there are no man-made disasters, so there will be so many people waiting for silver relief. Mu Li didn't believe that they were really poor enough to lack the meagre ten taels of silver, "Let Jean." ”
Mu Li squeezed through the crowd and came to the front, looking at a pair of eyes. These people are clearly liars, and they deliberately pretend to be poor in order to defraud ten taels of silver to win sympathy.
Mu Li looked at the record book, and the little guy didn't record it completely at all, but simply recorded a name. Even where the family lives, how many people in the family are, and why there is no money.
"Alright, you go down first." It's also strange that Mu Li didn't explain it clearly to the little guy at that time, which led to so many people coming to take it off. People are coming, and they are not happy to let them go home empty-handed.
"Princess, didn't you say that you want to give money, what about the silver?"
These words made Mu Li look confused, "What silver?" "It's not that Mu Li has no money, but he wants to give the money in his hand to the people who need it most, and how can these people who can't eat well and dress warmly when they look ruddy.
A few people were talking and pointing at Mu Li. "The princess didn't say that everyone could receive ten taels of silver, but we all came for the silver, otherwise who would want to come and line up."
"That's right, what about the silver?"
Reaching out to Mu Li one by one to ask for money, how could Mu Li easily give them the money. "Are you really poor?"
"Yes, my old mother has been sick for a long time, so she is waiting for these ten taels of silver to buy medicine." None of the people who came were without reason, and they all said that they were miserable.
"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate, if anyone dares to lie, I won't spare him." For this kind of greedy people, Mu Li has never been polite. Mu Li set up this money to help the poor, not for them to squander.
Ten taels of silver is a lot of money for a poor family, and they can buy rice for several months, and they can also use it to do some business. But they were good enough to keep the money to themselves. Mu Li had already lost five thousand taels of silver, so how could he continue to lose stupidly.
A few timid ones began to come out of the ranks and left with their heads bowed. If you can leave voluntarily, Mu Li doesn't care, but the few who stay are simply shameless, they have been crying in front of Mu Li, and they also said that Mu Li is to earn a good reputation, so he deliberately deceived them.
Mu Li has never seen such a person, and he can still be justified when he asks for money. "Cheng, since you have to ask for this money, you can cut off your hand and show me."
Mu Li looked left and right, picked up a stone from the grass, and prepared for them to cut off Mu Li's hand on the spot, so as to prove that what they said was true.
"W-isn't that ridiculous?"
How dare those people cut off their hands for ten taels of silver, aren't they stupid, and they all left one after another.
"Princess, how do you know that they are all liars?" Xiaohong still couldn't understand the form in the clouds.
"Have you ever seen a poor man wear such clean shoes?"
Yes, poor people will not buy new shoes until they wear a pair of shoes, and even some of them have never worn shoes, they are straw sandals woven from straw. The blood blisters came out of my feet, and I didn't have money to buy them.
Why is it so difficult to do something for the people, Mu Li can't influence the emperor's thoughts, and wants to rely on his own strength to help the poor villagers, who knows that there will be so many people who are jealous of the ten taels of silver. It's really sinister, and people have to guard against it.
Mu Li shook his head and asked Xiaohong to post a notice, if someone really needs silver taels at home in the future, take out the certificate and come to Mu Li to get it.
As soon as this notice came out, many poor people called the princess kind-hearted, and finally got the princess's subsidy without queuing. When Mu Li first set up a relief fund to support poor villagers, many poor people could not line up.
"Cut, who knows if what this princess said is true or not, it is said that many people went to line up and didn't get it."
These words must have come from those people who deliberately pretended to be poor before, in order to vent their anger at the grievances in their hearts, this kind of person is really hateful.
Liuyun came back from running errands outside, and happened to hear someone say that the princess was not, so he stepped forward to ask why. "What nonsense, if you have the ability, you can take the money out."
Mu Li took all the money he earned, and he didn't pick it up from the ground, so he did it out of kindness. How do you know that some narrow-minded people have begun to have bad intentions again.
"I know, no matter what they say, what I'm doing is good, not bad." Mu Li asked Liuyun to ignore what those people outside said, just be yourself.
That's right, all this money was taken out by Mu Li, and it was Mu Li's right to give it to whomever he wanted, and it was not their turn to teach Mu Li to do things. Only people who have nothing to do will talk about it, and Mu Li will not care what they say.
"But ......" Liuyun knew that Mu was good, but his kindness made people say that it was to seek a good reputation, and Liuyun felt uncomfortable when he heard this.
"This matter will come according to what I say, and you don't want your master to say it." If Chu Lingyi knew, he would definitely be right for Mu Li, and when the time came, he would make some trouble, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the prince's mansion.
Chu Lingyi is not a fool, he doesn't need to say this kind of thing, he can also know. For Mu Li's practice, Chu Lingyi did not disagree, but did not approve of it. Why should you give your hard-earned money to others, and you still make a fuss.
Chu Lingyi walked in front of Mu Li from behind Liuyun, "How can the princess still want to hide from this king?" ”
