Emperor Shi Shiran smiled and said, "The empress has a lot of ideas, I am very interested in the charity auction you said, what is an auction?" ”

Yingyun explained: "It is to take out a thing that the emperor has used or not used, and let the rich businessmen bid for it, and the one with the highest price will get it." ”

The Emperor said with amusement, "It sounds interesting. ”

"It's not just interesting, it's not too cost-effective," Ying Yun said on a whim, "The concubine heard of an auction before, selling a used old handkerchief, and in the end it was auctioned for a sky-high price. ”

"Handkerchiefs can fetch sky-high prices?" The emperor was skeptical and asked, "Could it be that the handkerchief is made of gold?" ”

Yingyun smiled mysteriously, it was a rich second generation who was rich and idle, and in order to pursue his favorite female star, he smashed it out with money.

Naturally, the handkerchief far exceeded its value.

Yingyun paused, smiled flatteringly, leaned over to him, and said, "Your Majesty, you can wash your gong bucket, and you can also take it out and sell it, maybe you can sell it for a good price." ”

The Emperor glared at her coldly.

Ying Yun smiled fearlessly, patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Actually, the emperor, you don't have to go through a lot of trouble, just post an imperial list, and the rich businessmen who have contributed to disaster relief will allow their daughters to enter the palace as concubines, and the concubines believe that they can't wait to hand over their entire belongings to your son-in-law." ”

In ancient times, it was the family that paid attention to the door, the agriculture and the industry and commerce, and the business was the matter of the glorious lintel, and the business was the last stream of the society, although they may have a lot of wealth, but they will still be despised for the smell of copper.

Therefore, most wealthy businessmen will think of donating an official to change their status as a low-class person. 67

What's more, if this identity is to marry the emperor, it will be a step to the sky, especially in the Qing Dynasty, it is the same as dreaming, because they are all Han Chinese, and they are not qualified for the draft at all.

Seeing that she was getting more and more energetic, the emperor's face darkened a lot, and he snorted: "I listen to the queen's meaning, why do you always want to sell me and fight me." ”

Ying Yun smiled and said, "Isn't the concubine trying to figure out a way for the emperor......"

The emperor suddenly laughed playfully, grabbed her into his arms, and said, "I see, I'll do you first, and then ......think about it slowly."

"Uh......"

The imperial boat traveled on the canal, swaying out of bursts of blue waves, the emperor and queen were alone for days, this feeling naturally became more and more intense, until the imperial boat got off, Yingyun still felt dizzy, on the contrary, the emperor was full of spring breeze, and he was content.

When he arrived at Jiangning Mansion, the emperor was immediately busy entertaining the local squires, and the process of collecting silver was quite good, and I heard that in just two or three days, tens of thousands of taels of silver were raised.

At dusk that day, the emperor returned to his house early and said with a smile: "Empress, the silver for disaster relief has been gathered." ”

"So fast?" Ying Yun was surprised by his speed, but she didn't ask him what method he used, and quipped: "Now the emperor can rest assured, there is no need to keep a face every day and worry about money." ”

The Emperor tapped the tip of her nose with his hand and smiled, "Thanks to the Queen's idea, my auction was able to go so smoothly." ”

Ying Yun was stunned before she asked in surprise: "Your Majesty, did you really sell your Gong bucket?" ”

When the emperor heard this, he laughed, causing the eunuchs and palace maids on the side to laugh.
