Chapter 136 I am born to be useful

The Huo family claimed to donate 100,000 taels of silver, but in fact it was not just 100,000 taels, but 102,400 taels.

This extra 2,400 taels is not a small amount, but the Huo family has only passed it over.

At that time, the Li family in Hejian only donated 50,000 taels, and the 50,000 taels were not donated at one time, it is said that the Li family only reported a false number in the Hall of Merit that day, and sent 20,000 taels, and the next 30,000 taels took a year to make up for it.

But the Huo family took out 100,000 taels at one time.

These 100,000 taels are not silver tickets, but cash silver for white flowers.

A lot of times that's the case, when people don't see the silver, a hundred thousand taels is just a number to them. Even a thick stack of silver tickets in front of him was far less exciting and shocking than the cash silver of thirty-two boxes of white flowers.

The Huo family is too rich.

Looking around, there are many people who can take out 100,000 taels, but there are very few who can take 100,000 taels of silver in a short period of time.

Huo Sijin was also taken aback, she didn't expect Huo Jiu's appearance to be like this this time.

Huo Jiu's confidence is these silvers.

Huo Jiu is the only male in the Huo family, and the Huo family will be his in the future, he has silver, and he can also donate silver, so he is calm, so he will not panic, so when he faces the Queen Mother and the people in front of him, he can be calm.

Yes, that's the reason, it's not born at all, Huo Jiu is a merchant's child, and the merchant's child is short-sighted, and he only has silver in his eyes, and mistakenly thinks that with silver, he has everything.

Thinking of this, Huo Sijin felt even more awkward in her heart, even she couldn't tell why, she had obviously found the reason for the difference between herself and Huo Jiu, but she didn't feel at ease, as if she had forcibly found out and imposed this reason.

Huo Jiu's voice sounded again: "Our Huo family is just a small business, and these 100,000 taels of silver are all our best, alas, it is only 100,000 taels, which is still a lot short of what the army needs." ”

When Old Madam Feng heard this, she pursed her lips and muttered in a low voice: "I really don't know the height of the sky, and it is like saying that the military needs of the imperial court depend on their family." ”

In this hall, no matter whether it is grade or identity, it is not the turn of Old Madam Feng to speak, so she only muttered quietly, except for Huo Yuan and Huo Sijin, who were with her, no one else heard it.

But Huo Jiu seemed to hear it, and it was as if he saw what everyone was thinking.

She smiled, her smile was full of bitterness that did not match her age: "Although the kid has a few dollars in his family, he is only a merchant and has no right to speak, but the Huo family is still a child of the imperial court, and he is willing to serve the imperial court with a sincere heart. ”

As she spoke, she slumped to the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

No one thought that Huo Jiu would come to this hand, it turned out that it was not only the Huo family who donated silver, but also the Huo family who asked the official eunuchs in the capital to donate silver.

What is the Huo family, but it is just a merchant, even if you want to donate silver, it will not be the turn of the Huo family.

But the situation in front of them can't be said so clearly, everyone looked at Huo Jiu, who was bent over like a small shrimp, and no one squeaked.

With a pop, the eldest princess Fangyi, who had not spoken, laughed: "Huo Jiu, aren't you tired when you bend over?" ”

"Don't be tired, the army has no food and grass to fight, it's not only tired, but also bitter, compared to them, Huo Jiu is nothing by bending over, not tired at all."

Although Huo Jiu spoke in official language, it was difficult to hide the Jiangnan accent, soft, with a childlike voice, which made people feel soft and soft.

Seeing that the eldest princess Fangyi spoke, Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "Look, this child is pitiful, it's really distressing, you get up quickly, don't you just donate grain and grass to the soldiers in front, although our Chengenbo Mansion is not thick, but one or two thousand taels of silver can still be taken out, this is a good thing, it is a good thing, it is a good thing, it is to contribute to the court, if you can't even give up this bit of silver, then wouldn't it." ”

Mrs. Zhou said that the Huo family claimed to donate 100,000 taels of silver, but in fact it was not only 100,000 taels, but 102,400 taels.

This extra 2,400 taels is not a small amount, but the Huo family has only passed it over.
