Chapter 9 Charitable Donations for Disaster Relief
Li Xiangfeng's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth hooked up, and his eyes were slightly curved. Xin said: "It's finally begun!" It seems that Li Xiangfeng has already figured out that Adjutant Zhang will not be so attentive if he has nothing to do, and he is really "either a traitor or a thief".
I just don't know if this adjutant is a traitor or a thief.
"It doesn't matter if he's a traitor or a thief, one token is enough!" Li Xiangfeng touched the token on his waist with his right hand, and the sense of security in his heart increased exponentially, and it turned out that the official university could really walk sideways.
When power has formed a powerful force, it can wantonly trap others in the palm of its hand, and Li Xiangfeng has a vague sense of excitement, satisfaction, and pleasure.
Goo-dong, goo-dong, goo-dong.
Li Xiangfeng drank a large bowl of sake in one go, and then abandoned the feeling of addiction in his mind.
It seems that this feeling can really corrupt the mind. Li Xiangfeng threw away the miscellaneous concepts and looked at Adjutant Zhang, who pretended to be casual.
At this moment, the surrounding area seemed to lower its voice, intentionally or unintentionally.
This is obviously a group of people, I really don't know if the Taishou sent these people here, or the garrison sent these people to inquire about the news, Li Xiangfeng muttered in his heart.
In fact, Li Xiangfeng didn't know that before Li Xiangfeng, there were no less than three waves of people who came here to investigate in the name of the Ministry of War or the Cabinet, and the investigation was also about the actual situation of Beiyang City, because some people were on the death list, accusing Beiyang City of being too corrupt and guarding people's lives, and making the entire Beiyang City unrecognizable, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the north gate of the empire will be lost!
But the governor who came to investigate was attacked by the Taishou and the garrison, and they all returned happily.
Naturally, the entire city is still safely controlled by the Taishou and the Garrison.
The entire city, together with the soldiers of the Taishou Mansion and the soldiers guarding the city, has already become the people of the Taishou and the garrison, and half of the tens of thousands of places registered in the military department of the Beiyang City garrison are actually empty, but they will not be short of a single cent to ask for a large amount of military salary from the military department every year, especially Beiyang City in the north of the empire, which is an important town related to the national fortune of the entire empire.
Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan, under the pretext of the emperor's order, holding the emperor's private token, were above board, inexplicable, and the arrival without warning once made the Taishou and the garrison extremely nervous.
I really don't know if the emperor has found any clues, or doesn't believe the waves of governors who have come over before? Let these two people make a private visit to secretly inspect here? But as soon as they came, they took out the emperor's token and made the formation so big, it was a little unreasonable?
What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, naturally this kind of thing has to be released from the "dog" to sniff, and Adjutant Zhang is obviously a very powerful "dog".
"Adjutant Zhang's words are wrong!" Li Xiangfeng shook his head and said, his expression was a little confused, his face was flushed, obviously a little drunk, at this time Li Xiangfeng stood up and said briskly: "What kind of place is this where birds don't? Look!" Li Xiangfeng's right hand pointed to the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall.
"Others are as cold as bones outside the room, but we are like spring all year round in the room!" Haha" Li Xiangfeng revised the font of this calligraphy and painting, and then looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes, especially those delicacies from different places and said: "This plate in the north is indeed much larger than in the south, just this suckling pig can actually be put on a plate! Haha, what kind of bird doesn't, Adjutant Zhang is modest!"
Li Xiangfeng talked a lot about it, but he didn't talk about the key points that Adjutant Zhang was concerned about.
One is that he does not know what he asked, and the other is that he does not want to answer! This Li Xiangfeng and Adjutant Zhang are not on the same channel at all, but all kinds of suspicions between them are even more intense, and they seem to think that they are right
What Fang said was the same as what he thought.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the atmosphere is lively, everyone is holding a graceful dancer next to them, naturally Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan are inevitably "forced" to install female companions.
It's just that Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan have become less open than others, and they have dodged several "attacks" of the dancers, all of which have been resolved one by one, so that they have not been able to gain half an inch.
In addition to the various gentry touting Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan in the field, it was Adjutant Zhang and Li Xiangfeng who "sang the double reed".
After a rumbling battle, Adjutant Zhang and Li Xiangfeng finally found their respective "G" spots, and drank heavily before giving up.
In Adjutant Zhang's heart, he has already decided that Li Xiangfeng and Yu Yan are just two officials who eat and drink together and want to make some benefits.
The reason why he was able to come here depends on Yu Yan's identity, and Yu Yan's father is a famous grand duke of the Wanqin Empire, and he can stop such a beautiful errand by relying on Yu Yuanzheng's signboard.
Yu Yuanzheng was famous for a while, but he was actually ruined by these two people, which is also ridiculous and generous, Adjutant Zhang has another layer of opinion about Yuanzheng in his heart, don't look at these people who have respected power in the empire, in fact, they are not much different from themselves in essence, but they are not good at disguise.
It seems that it is intentional or unintentional! Li Xiangfeng tactfully expressed his benevolence, wanting to relieve the victims outside the city, but he didn't bring half a cent of money when he came, so he had to go back and be punished! After that, he took out a notebook from his body, pretended to write something, and said while doing something: "On September 27, 293 in the continental calendar, the minister was ashamed of the grace of the Holy Emperor and ...... in Beiyang City."
Adjutant Zhang was naturally waiting for Li Xiangfeng to open his mouth, and when he heard Li Xiangfeng say this, his face instantly showed a look of understanding, and his eyes made a look around, and suddenly the surrounding gentry with blurred eyes and hands and feet wandering around the body of the dancing girl radiated a light of justice that people dare not look at directly.
"Lord Li, the villain has received the emperor's favor for three generations, how can he sit idly by? How can he make the lord embarrassed? The villain is willing to donate 20,000 gold coins to do good deeds for the lord!" A middle-aged man in a gorgeous brocade robe and purple inner fir stood up and bowed to Li Xiangfeng, and said impassionedly.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the others then stood up one after another.
"The villain is willing to donate 15,000 gold coins to help the lord fulfill the emperor's order!"
"The villain is willing to donate 10,000 gold coins!"
"The villain is happy to donate 18,000 gold coins!"
"The villain is happy to donate 8,800 gold coins!"
“........”
After everyone replied one by one, Adjutant Zhang stood up, holding a glass of liquor in his hand, full of spring breeze, and said excitedly: "Thank you for the support of all the righteous businessmen in Beiyang City, and you will do it for the victims first!"
Boom!
Adjutant Zhang's throat rolled, and a bowl of wine was swallowed into his stomach, and then he looked at Li Xiangfeng, who was sitting on the side, without the slightest look of pleasure, with a solemn face, and exclaimed in his heart: "Is this kid too little? This is enough for more than 100,000 gold coins!"
Seeing that Li Xiangfeng did not have happy cheeks, Adjutant Zhang's face was gloomy and he glanced at the middle-aged businessmen in front of him on the right.
The middle-aged businessman seemed to have made some decision, and the corners of his mouth trembled and said hatefully: "Adjutant Zhang has praised it falsely, we really don't dare to be it!" For Adjutant Zhang's words, I am willing to donate another 20,000 gold coins to show his strong support for the imperial court!" The middle-aged businessman raised his right hand, his index finger in the middle
Fingers open, other fingers bent, make a "V" gesture, gritted teeth.
With a middle-aged businessman taking the lead, others carried out another round of "donations", and the donations were as high as 180,000 gold coins.
And Adjutant Zhang, on the other hand, looked at Li Xiangfeng's face, except for the slight change just now, there was still no movement, and he had already begun to curse secretly in his heart.
"This little rabbit cub actually has a bigger appetite than the governor, and the two of them are so open-mouthed!"
The third round of donation ceremonies officially began, and what Adjutant Zhang didn't know was that Li Xiangfeng was not displeased, but the shock was too strong to react.
What Li Xiangfeng didn't expect was that he would mention it so casually, these people actually "scraped together" more than 100,000 gold coins for themselves as if they were talking and opening their mouths to eat, which was enough for tens of thousands of disaster victims outside the city to eat for several days.
And Li Xiangfeng also understood that these people were all mentioning gold coins when they opened their mouths and closed their mouths, and they did not hear anyone donate materials, such as grain, which is the most important material in disaster relief.
Because Li Xiangfeng knew that these people were bribing themselves under the leadership of Adjutant Zhang, as if they were going to smash themselves until they were satisfied, so they happily patted their buttocks, beat them, and went back.
Adjutant Zhang must have been ordered by the Taishou or the garrison to do this, Li Xiangfeng was already sure in his heart that Adjutant Zhang had some unsavory secrets with the Taishou and the garrison, and only in this way would he be so taboo about the "governor" from the central capital.
Although he was not really a "governor", he also made them mistakenly realize that he was a "governor" sent by the emperor.
"Patrol the world, soothe the army and the people"
Now that they have been regarded as nominal governors, these are the bargaining chips they intend to bluff themselves into going back.
Just as Li Xiangfeng was pondering, the second and third rounds of music donations came one after another, and Li Xiangfeng was slightly surprised in the second round, and it was already very dull in the third round.
If these people control the financial resources of the entire Beiyang City, these can really be said to be a drop in the ocean for them.
In the third round, there were about 350,000 gold coins, but Li Xiangfeng's expression had changed to a "happy to hear", and the contemplative expression on his face just now had disappeared, in exchange for a feeling of joy.
Seeing that the "frozen" look on Li Xiangfeng's face disappeared, Adjutant Zhang took a breath, and there was another cordial greeting to Li Xiangfeng's relatives in his heart, but there was no disrespect on his face.
Still full of spring, he asked with a flattering expression: "What does Lord Li think?"
Seeing that Li Xiangfeng was still unmoved, Adjutant Zhang had no choice but to remind him again.
Finally, Li Xiangfeng was awakened from his contemplation, and in a trance, he saw Adjutant Zhang asking with a flattering face.
"Oh, thank you, gentlemen! It's just that why didn't you fund some food or something?" Li Xiangfeng blurted out subconsciously.
And those gentry and Adjutant Zhang all had black lines on their faces.
This girl still thinks she has too little gold!
Seeing that no one around him answered, Li Xiangfeng instantly understood, and his feeling was that these people were the same as just now, thinking too much about their behavior.
"The gold coins you donated just now, I thank you on behalf of the imperial court, the gold coins are completely enough, it's just that Benjue wants to buy some food!"
After Li Xiangfeng finished speaking, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if they were relieved.
