In the study, Xiao Rui and Jia Xu were having tea together, and Wei Guang was describing the expressions of the governors of various prefectures when they came to raise funds to buy invitations, especially when Li Yuanfang took out a thick stack of invitations, whoever took out the money would fill in their names, their little expressions had a kind of loveless sadness, including a touch of sadness, which made Xiao Rui laugh.

Jia Xu exclaimed: "His Royal Highness's means are clever, the world does not know that Hao Yun is His Highness's henchman, and he also impeached His Highness, there should be a gap with His Highness, plus the Champion Hou and the Zhongyong Hou, the three of them all raised a donation of 1,000 taels to get the invitation, and the hatred and relatives are the same, and they are treated equally, which completely gags their mouths, so that they are unwilling and reluctant, and they have to honestly take out the money." Unless they don't participate in charity auctions. ”

Xiao Rui sneered: "Don't participate? Wei Guang, how many people have bought invitations now? ”

Wei Guang said: "The stewards of the eighteen prefectures have already purchased the invitation, and the number of people expected by His Highness is still far behind. Like several government offices, they didn't send anyone. ”

"Don't worry, wait until tomorrow morning to see if they are in a hurry, and then they won't be able to buy a thousand taels. Relying on the fact that his grandson is the prince, he won't accept the king's move? Hmph, let's see who admits defeat first. Xiao Rui was not worried at all.

He looked at Jia Xu again and asked, "Sir, how are the people from the top ten merchants in the capital contacted?" ”

Jia Xu said: "There are already seven of them, I asked them to wait in the side hall, and the other three are coming, they heard that it has something to do with tomorrow's charity fundraising, so they naturally dare not slack off." ”

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Wei Guang, you go and take a look, and when everyone is ready, come and tell me that these ten major chambers of commerce are also very rich, and they have to contribute well this time, if they don't slaughter them fiercely, I can't get over it." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wei Guang immediately retreated.

And at this moment, the system really moved.

"Ding-dong... The new task is opened, please check it out with the host. ”

Xiao Rui's smile was even worse, with such a big event, will the system stay calm?

After such a long period of communication, Xiao Rui also saw the character of the system, when he would come to the task, he could basically judge it, but what task would come, Xiao Rui still couldn't guess.

He hurriedly checked it, only to see that the tasks were as follows:

"New Quest: Raise money for the poor, raise 500,000 taels, Advent +10, Raise 700,000 taels, Advent +20, raise 1,000,000 taels, Advent +30, raise more than 1,200,000 taels, Advent +40. Although the host is suspected of seeking personal gain, considering that it has helped the poor people, there is no punishment for the failure of this mission. ”

Xiao Rui ignored the sarcasm of the system, he was already attracted by the rich rewards of the mission.

If it is more than 1,200,000 taels, it will be a descending value of +40, which is really rich enough, and you can also withdraw one percent, that is, 120,000 taels......

What annual leave, what leave!

In order to protect the world's poor people, he has to raise more than 1.2 million donations even if he fights for this old life, which is the consciousness that a prince has.

"Sir, are you helping me think about where I can raise more money?" Xiao Rui couldn't think of any more ideas for a while, so he asked Jia Xu for help.

Jia Xu smiled bitterly: "I'm good at conspiracy and trickery, but not in terms of business, don't be embarrassed, Your Highness has a specialization in art." ”

Xiao Rui didn't force it, and at this time, Wei Guang, who left in a hurry, came back.

"Your Highness, the stewards of the ten major chambers of commerce have arrived." Wei Guang said.

Xiao Rui got up and said, "Let's go, these people are all the king's good money boys." ”

When he came to the side hall, as soon as Xiao Rui entered, he saw the stewards of the ten chambers of commerce hurriedly stand up and said respectfully: "The villain greets His Royal Highness King Xian!" ”

Xiao Rui glanced around, but he didn't expect to see an acquaintance, and the money leopard was among them.

Xiao Rui sat on the top seat, waved his hand, smiled, and said, "Sit down, don't be restrained, do you know why this king summoned you to the mansion?" ”

The ten people sat down, and although they had all heard and guessed, they still pretended not to know at this time and shook their heads one after another.

Xiao Rui went straight to the point and said: "I believe you have all heard that the snow outside has been falling all day, and it has not disappeared, and I believe that it will not stop tomorrow, the scale covers the entire land of Gyeonggi, although the economy of Gyeonggi is prosperous, but there are still poor people, they may be able to eat, but the houses they live in are simple, and there are not a few people who are crushed by the heavy snow, and the heavy snow closes the roads and villages, and there is no livelihood, how can you have a good year?" ”

"Your Majesty's grace is vast, so tomorrow night, a charity auction will be held, Your Majesty will take out his treasures, the queen and concubines of the harem, as well as the princes, will take out good things, auctioned, the highest price will be obtained, and all the proceeds will be used to relieve the people affected by this snow disaster!"

"And I came to you today to ask, are your ten chambers of commerce interested in participating? Your ten chambers of commerce are the largest chambers of commerce in Beijing, and this opportunity is rare, so take advantage of it. ”

After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the maids re-served new tea.

The breath of the stewards of the ten chambers of commerce suddenly shortened by three points, although they were mentally prepared, but they were still shocked in their hearts, after all, His Majesty held such a grand event, it has always been attended by dignitaries and nobles, how could it be their turn, they at most borrowed the east wind afterwards to earn some small camps, and never thought that they could directly participate.

"Your Highness, I don't know what you mean by participating?" The money leopard saw Xiao Rui's eyes glancing at him, and he immediately understood and asked.

Xiao Rui was quite satisfied with the observation of the golden leopard, and he said: "Tomorrow night's event, Your Majesty and the Empress will go, and the powerful people in the capital will go, and if you can't go, it can only mean that he is an insignificant person and has no qualifications." And if on such an important occasion, your chamber of commerce can hang some promotional slogans or product introductions on the spot, what do you think the intensity of this publicity will be? Which Chamber of Commerce are you from? ”

Xiao Rui deliberately asked the leopard.

Qian Leopard said: "The villain belongs to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce. ”

Xiao Rui continued: "Then Wang took the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce as an example, such as hanging a promotional slogan at the event site: Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, prosperous wealth, trust and prosperity, and smooth financial resources!" You say that such a slogan is seen by His Majesty and the magnates, and then it is hotly discussed by the people afterwards, what will be the effect? ”

The money leopard's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately asked: "Your Highness, how much money does this propaganda cost, our Hengtong Chamber of Commerce has all covered!" ”

The other stewards are also not reserved, they are all experts in business, and they can naturally see the value of this publicity, which is simply a famous role for the Chamber of Commerce.

"Your Highness, our Wanshun Chamber of Commerce is also willing to contract all the propaganda slogans!"

"Your Highness, our Hengtai Chamber of Commerce is also willing!"

.......

The ten stewards argued endlessly, and Xiao Rui raised his hand to silence them.

"This king calls this activity a bidding, since you all like this activity, then this king will directly click, a propaganda slogan starts at 50,000 taels, because the venue is limited, up to five slogans are placed, written with red paper and black grinding mixed with gold powder, to ensure that it attracts attention! Let's get started, the highest bidder wins! Xiao Rui said with a smile.

Ten stewards are sluggish, starting at 50,000 taels, just a slogan, this is simply a money grab!

The money leopard is worthy of Xiao Rui's choice, and he took the lead in saying: "Your Highness, fifty thousand taels, I want two from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce!" ”

"Excellent! I believe that Your Majesty will see the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce's strong support for this charity auction, and will definitely keep the name of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce in mind! Xiao Rui said casually.

As soon as these words came out, the ten stewards who were still hesitating made bids one after another.

"Your Highness, fifty thousand taels, I want two!"

"Your Highness, fifty-one thousand taels, I want three!"

.......

After some heated debate, the bidding for the five promotional slogans was completed, and before the charity auction began, Xiao Rui had already raised 280,000 taels of silver.

The stewards who fought for were overjoyed, and those who didn't won were depressed.

At this time, Xiao Rui said again: "Okay, the bidding is complete, then the next step is sponsorship." ”

"Sponsorship?" All the stewards were stunned.

Xiao Rui said: "Of course! The tableware, snacks, tea, and drinks used on the night of the event can all be sponsored, and as the host of the event, I will thank the sponsorship before the event starts. Of course, these are just casual mentions, if any chamber of commerce sponsors a large amount, then the king will take time out to thank you, and these words of thanks are naturally said to your majesty, I believe your majesty will be very pleased, to have a chamber of commerce that helps the world, this is also the blessing of Daxia! ”

In an instant, the hearts of the stewards who had just calmed down were lifted again.

......

Let Wei Guang send away all the stewards, Jia Xu has already got a stack of IOUs in his hand, which is an IOU written by the chamber of commerce that got the bidding and sponsorship, and after the event, Xiao Rui can withdraw the money with the help of the ticket, I believe they don't have the courage to repay the debt.

Jia Xu held the ticket that seemed to be very light, but it was 450,000 taels, he took a deep breath, and felt a little dreamy.

Money is so easy to earn?

Xiao Rui felt that it was extremely normal, the advertising expenses before the news broadcast in his previous life were astronomical, millions of dollars a second, and what he wanted was already very little.

"Your Highness, the trick of bidding and sponsorship is too clever, you don't need to contribute a penny, you have the venue, refreshments, drinks and everything, but openly thank these chambers of commerce in front of Your Majesty, and pull out slogans on the spot, will it displease Your Majesty?" Wu Zhanfa said worriedly.

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "Your Majesty will not be displeased, at most he will reprimand me for messing around, but with so much money in front of him, he is embarrassed to criticize." But afterwards, a lot of people will be red-eyed, and then they will impeach me, and the impeachment will be like snowflakes. But don't be afraid, as long as you raise more money and can help more people, why not? ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Your Highness is right, what we have done is not only in the eyes of Your Majesty, but also in the eyes of the world." ”

Xiao Rui looked at the heavy snow outside, although the snow scene was good, he still hoped that the snow would stop!
