Chapter 260: Fundraising Completed
In this way, if their sons have no money, they have to pay for this money out of their own pockets, and if they don't have enough money, they have to find a subsidy from their parents.
This time, it can be described as a collective hemorrhage, which affects the whole body in one move.
When they knew that the previous dynasty could not avoid donations, they were even more resentful of Zuo Xiangling.
As concubines, which of them is not from the official family, the old father of the family has to pay for them after subsidizing them, and they have to pay for it themselves, which is simply hollowed out.
If they produce too little, they will definitely be said that they don't care about people's livelihood, and if they produce too much, they will be said to be corrupt.
In any case, everything was caused by Zuo Xiangling, and this account was recorded on Zuo Xiangling's head.
When Zuo Xiangling was still complacent about her pressure on Gu Wanning, many of the people present regarded her as a thorn in the flesh, but as a party to the case, she didn't know at all.
"Today's donation has come to a perfect end, and now we will announce the amount of donations from each palace for the sake of fighting An.
17,000 taels for Jingde Palace, 10,000 taels for Yihua Palace, 10,000 taels for Changchun Palace......"
Fang Zishi finished reading, and the last sentence deliberately paused before saying.
"The total amount of donations today is 127,300 taels, and some other items are not counted, and it is roughly estimated that the total amount is about 150,000 taels.
Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the ladies of the palace for the homeless. ”
Fang Zishi bowed to the audience, and the audience burst into applause, just as he was about to step down, the Queen Mother came to the stage.
"Today, all the palaces have donated a lot of money, many of which are your money, and even your own body.
You've all set a good example, and you've all been very good.
Here, what the mourners want to say is that thank you for your compassion for the displaced people, your concern, they will know, and the Buddha will also know.
The mourning family donated 25,000 taels on behalf of the Shoukang Palace, which is all the savings that the mourning family can take out at present, and it is not used in the palace, it is better to protect the people, some of them are the dowry of the mourning family, some are the rewards of the palace, and there are many years of money.
The mourners are deeply gratified by your behavior today. ”
Zuo Xiangling in the audience was taken aback, and her heart suddenly became very uncomfortable, and the joy from Gu Wanning was gone, and some were just guilty.
She never thought that the Queen Mother would donate so much money, let alone that she would donate all her dowry.
At the age of the Queen Mother, the meaning of the dowry to her is not just as simple as an item, it is a thought for the past and for her family.
She suddenly felt that she shouldn't have said that she had made a military order of 250,000 taels when the Queen Mother asked her if she had made a bet with Li Shaowu again, and the Queen Mother did this to relieve her of a little burden.
Zuo Xiangling hesitated in the audience for a long time, and the inexplicable sadness hit her and made her breathless.
"Kid, what's wrong, you're not happy to have raised so many donations?"
The Queen Mother noticed that Zuo Xiangling's mood was a little low, and reached out and touched Zuo Xiangling's head, with a look of kindness.
Zuo Xiangling shook her head, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around the queen mother's waist, she was inexplicably touched by the queen mother, and she was able to donate her dowry to some people she didn't know, what kind of mind is this.
She was really taught a lesson by the Queen Mother, and she was ashamed of her pride and conceit, as well as her little bit of pretentious care.
"Queen Mother, I still have to go to the ministers to collect donations, so I'll leave first, and I may be busy building houses for the homeless people recently.
I promised you that I might have to send it to the palace a little later, but I will have someone prepare you with other interesting scripts and send them to you along with the pastries. ”
Zuo Xiangling didn't know what was wrong with her, why she wanted to cry so much.
People, sometimes they are just touched by some inexplicable things, and then they are sleepy.
"Okay, don't worry about the book, you can deal with your own affairs first."
The favor in the eyes of the Queen Mother is like the warm sun of spring, shining on Zuo Xiangling and making her feel extremely comfortable.
Bidding farewell to the Queen Mother, Zuo Xiangling did the same, and as soon as she left the palace, she notified the ministers that the donation ceremony would be held on the first floor in the afternoon.
Her donation in the palace will definitely be notified to the ears of the ministers as soon as possible, and those who fail to compete in the palace will definitely let their families seize this opportunity to raise their eyebrows.
This time, Zuo Xiangling felt indifferent, and asked Fang Zishi to organize the construction and went to the office by himself.
Tianba saw that Zuo Xiangling was depressed, so he asked.
"Are you being annoyed? What is there to be annoyed about, the Queen Mother donated her dowry, that is her business, and it is not your fault. ”
These words did not make Zuo Xiangling feel good, but felt that he coveted that little land from Li Shaowu, and it was wrong to deal with this matter.
"Do you know, the reason why the Queen Mother donated so much is definitely not just for the homeless, she, I'm afraid she knows that I boasted about Haikou from the emperor, and wants to help me reduce my burden."
Looking at Zuo Xiangling's weak expression, Tianba felt a little uncomfortable, thought about it and said.
"Oh, that's right, that may be underestimating you, I don't know that you raised more than 170,000 taels in the palace alone.
It is 75,000 taels short of the 250,000 taels that the emperor gave you.
You bought more than 75,000 taels of the things you collected from the palace.
Why, you're not happy to overdo the task, but you've saved yourself a huge amount of money.
The money raised by the minister here can be used to pay for the development of wasteland.
Come to think of it, it's not easy for the emperor to say anything, take the public funds to do your own thing, you can steal the fun yourself. ”
There was a rare joy in the lazy voice.
After thinking about it, she silently calculated, as if it was indeed like what Tianba said, she could do her own thing with public expense.
Thinking about it this way, she directly kept the dowry donated by the Queen Mother and found an opportunity to send it back.
In this way, everything is settled.
"Hmm~ You're still the smartest."
Zuo Xiangling hugged Tianba and rubbed hard, Tianba felt that his face was squeezed crookedly, and he immediately regretted mentioning Zuo Xiangling.
After the fundraising, Zuo Xiangling left the dowry of the Queen Mother, and the remaining part was almost 300,000 taels of silver.
plus the things in the name of the objects in the palace, a total of 360,000 taels were obtained.
This figure is almost equal to the total amount of Li Shaowu's budget this time, she sent the promised 250,000 taels to the palace, and stated to Li Shaowu that the remaining 110,000 taels will be used to pay the wages of the displaced people.
Li Shaowu could only agree, and if he was able to save more than 200,000 taels of the state treasury, he had nothing to say.
Although he regretted that the goals he set for Zuo Xiangling were a little less, but since they were all used by the people in the end, he had nothing to say.
