431: Generosity
Yu San picked up Gu Hongtai's money bag.
There were five or six taels of broken silver, and the two silver bills were in denominations of one hundred taels.
"You can do it, don't you say that you don't have the money to pay off your debts?"
Gu Hongtai smiled dryly: "This is what my mother gave me before leaving, I didn't know there were so many." ”
Nonsense.
When I set off, I didn't know that after setting off for so long, it was impossible to not open the money bag once, and I just didn't want to pay back the money.
But Yu San didn't care.
Gu Hongtai's silver ticket was confiscated together, and it was not enough to offset the account.
It was rare that Gu Hongtai was willing to donate the silver, and Yu San did not dampen Gu Hongtai's enthusiasm.
When he returned to the dock, it was already late, Yu San temporarily put away the silver given by the captains, and only took the silver to find Cheng Qing the next day.
This time, he didn't have nothing to say and deliberately wanted to dangle in front of Cheng Qing, but he really had a lot of things to ask Cheng Qing!
But Cheng Qing is not available.
The 5,000 stone of grain loaded from the Linqing wharf had already been completed, and if it were not for the purpose of relocating the displaced people, the fleet would have set off this morning to continue south.
Yu San came to find Cheng Qing, and Cheng Qing was busy going out.
Hearing Yu San's intention, Cheng Qing was surprised: "Jinyiwei's captain donated silver?" ”
Whether it is the fifth prince or Cheng Qing, they have never encouraged the guards to donate silver. It is already dangerous for everyone to go to Huainan, and they can't always grab the same group of sheep and pick up wool, so that everyone will shed blood, sweat and tears.
In this Huainan disaster relief, the imperial court allocated 400,000 stone of grain, as well as 100,000 taels of silver, Cheng Qing did not shake out his family in Linqing, and also hoped that more grain and silver could be transported to Huainan.
The displaced people who have escaped have an eighty percent chance of survival, and the old, weak, sick and disabled who remain in Huainan and cannot escape will need food rations even more.
Only the 400,000 stone grain and 100,000 taels of silver allocated by the imperial court could not save the entire Huainan, and more forces must be mobilized to relieve the disaster...... This is Cheng Qing's plan.
The silver donated by a group of captains in Jinyiwei added up to 1,000 taels, and Cheng Qing guessed that Yu San gave most of it.
Although she didn't want to be kidnapped by morality, she was also very happy that Yu San and the group of Jinyi Guards were doing this, and they were also taking out money from their money bags, and disaster relief was much more meaningful than visiting Qinglou.
"You shouldn't give me this silver, you should give it to the fifth prince."
Cheng Qing didn't answer.
Yu San stuffed the little burden to her, "It's not the same for whom?" ”
Give the five princes and brush up on the good impression in front of the five princes?
Cut!
You don't need to do that.
As an errand in Jinyiwei, the credit is earned with a knife, and Yu San has his own pride.
Cheng Qing saw that there were bloodshot redness in his eyes, especially the injured eye, which was particularly congested, so he didn't refuse the burden anymore, and asked him with a smile: "How is it, can you still hold it?" ”
Yu San's eye injury is definitely not healed!
I don't know if it takes time to recover, or if the imperial doctors are not good at treating the eyes?
Yu Sancai slept for less than two hours, never admitting defeat, saying that he was not tired, and asked Cheng Qing if he still had something to send him to do.
Cheng Qing shook his head, "The fifth prince said, the fleet will set sail tonight, if you still have the spirit, come with me to a place." ”
Originally, I was not energetic, but when I heard this, I immediately became more energetic.
I don't know where Cheng Qing wants him to go, Yu San's heartbeat can't help but speed up, his eyes are bloodshot, his ears are still a little red, and his eyes are fluttering.
Looking at the boat, looking at the river, and looking at the waterfowl, I just didn't dare to look at Cheng Qing.
It turns out that Yu Baihu thinks too much, how can Cheng Qing be in the mood to flirt with little fresh meat at this time, she not only made an appointment with Yu San, but also accompanied by the five princes and Cui Yan.
Oh, there is also a Cheng Zhixu, Cheng Qing politely asked Cheng Shilang if he wanted to be together, Cheng Zhixu didn't seem to be able to hear it, and he also set off with a few people.
"Your Highness is going to be wronged again today."
"If the people of Huainan can have more food and more medicinal materials, how can I be wronged?"
The conversation between Cheng Qing and the five princes, Yu San heard it in a fog.
Cheng Zhixu looked disapproving, "Your Highness shouldn't surrender your identity like this." ”
Still don't understand.
Yu San took two steps behind and poked Cui Yan: "Fatty, what are they talking about?" ”
Cui Yan didn't stop when he arrived in Linqing, his eyelids fought, and he couldn't yawn in front of the five princes.
was staring at him in a daze, Yu San called him fat, Cui Yan subconsciously raised his arm and almost shot an arrow at Yu San.
"Hmph."
Cui Yan didn't shoot Yu San, but ignored him.
Chicken brains, he can't even speak, where is Brother Cui fat, and his body is strong.
Yu San sneered, specially, secretly called Cui Fat every day, and actually said bald lips in front of the main owner.
The two rookies stared at each other all the way to their destination, so that no one was sleepy.
The place where Cheng Qing and the five princes were going turned out to be the Linqing Yamen.
Jiang Zhizhou was already waiting in the Yamen.
In addition to Jiang Zhizhou, there are also wealthy gentry in Linqing, including Chairman Lu, whom Yu San met yesterday.
Hearing that the five princes were going to continue to go south today, President Lu was very anxious, and ran all night last night to inform his colleagues in Linqing.
On the allocation of the new wharf, Chairman Lu and others have reached a consensus.
Today, they just want to donate silver in front of the five princes!
No matter how big a businessman is, he is also a businessman.
Think about how the third prince treated Cui Peng, that is the general attitude of Tianhuang nobles towards businessmen.
Shinong businessmen, businessmen with the lowest status, are also accustomed to being discriminated against.
Cheng Qing said that the five princes will be wronged today, just because the five princes personally negotiated with these businessmen and wanted these businessmen to donate a little more silver - just like President Lu, yesterday he said that he would donate 20,000 taels, and now when he talks to the five princes, he will immediately donate 30,000 taels!
Others did not compete with President Lu for the highest amount of donations, but they also donated generously.
In less than an hour, these rich gentry in Linqing actually scraped together 100,000 taels of silver!
You must know that the imperial court only allocated 100,000 taels of silver from the treasury for disaster relief, and a Linqing city actually donated 100,000 taels happily.
Cheng Qing took the pen and recorded the amount of silver donated by each rich gentleman in the book, and also discussed with the five princes that a monument should be erected in Linqing City and Huainan, and the contents of the book should be engraved on the tablet.
The fifth prince nodded, "That's right, in order to thank you for your righteousness, I personally wrote a preface for the stone tablet!" ”
Cheng Zhixu couldn't stop him if he wanted to.
Who said the Five Princes were cowardly?
After leaving the capital, Cheng Zhixu had already discovered that the five princes actually had a special idea.
It's not that Cheng Qing bewitched the five princes, it's that Cheng Qing's proposal every time is in line with the five princes' own ideas, and people are willing to do that!
President Lu and the others were full of excitement.
Yu San couldn't empathize, but Cui Yan felt it very deeply.
If the third prince could have pulled down his face, such a "corporal Lixian", there would be no need for Cui Peng to kill his father and brother and rob the family business to vote, maybe Master Cui himself would have offered it with his family wealth.
Merchants are not short of money and face, but they are socially recognized, especially by the rulers.
The five princes agree with them, round them off, that is, the emperor agrees with them!
