Lord Qin nodded and said, "That's a lot fairer. On this merit tablet, there will be no engraved how much you have donated, and it is your intention to donate more or less, even if you are unwilling to donate, the government will not persecute you. But if you donate more, you can be at the top of the list. ”

Everyone understood the rules, but who didn't know that the richest person in Qingxian County was the Song family, where did they get the money to compete with the Song family?

They were a little frustrated for a while, to be honest, they couldn't fight for the first place, and it didn't matter how many people were in the back.

Master Gao was depressed in his heart, and he didn't know where to be angry, so he turned back to Qin Shaoyu who was sitting behind him and said, "Little Master Qin, why didn't you tell me in advance, and the first one said, why did you only ask me to prepare 10,000 taels of silver?" ”

Qin Shaoyu said unhurriedly: "I don't want Master Gao to spend more, so I only ask Master Gao to donate 10,000 taels." But if Master Gao wants to be the first, you can vote more. ”

Master Gao pursed his lips and didn't speak, but he thought in his heart, is he stupid? How much more can you vote for the Song family?

Lord Qin's eyes swept around and said, "Since you have no objections, let's start donating." ”

Lin Liao immediately said: "The Song family donated 10,000 taels." ”

Master Gao sat next to Lin Liao and wondered, "Mrs. Song will donate 10,000 taels?" ”

Lin Liao sighed lightly and said, "The husband and the fourth son went out to do business and took away all the cash in the family. I have some real estate title deeds in my hand, so I can't just take them and donate these, right? ”

Master Gao was overjoyed in his heart and said, "Since that's the case...... Then for the first place of the merit monument, I am not welcome, Mrs. Song don't blame me, business is like this, the one with the highest price will get it. ”

The people around Lin Liao heard Lin Liao speak.

Since the Song family can't take out much silver, what are they afraid of? Just go for the first place!

When Master Gao was about to ask for a price, he didn't expect someone behind him: "Lord Qin, my Ling family donated 30,000 taels!" ”

Master Gao originally wanted to ask for 15,000 taels, but now he swallowed the number alive and changed his words: "I donate 40,000 taels!" ”

Hey, it's uncomfortable to death. Originally, I only planned to donate 10,000 taels.

Forget it, although his family's business is also sluggish due to flooding, this kind of good name can be retained from generation to generation, and with this fame, I am not afraid that my business will not be prosperous in the future.

He thought that 40,000 taels should not be anyone's continued to fight with him...... In fact, he knows the family background of everyone here.

Except for the bottomless Song family, the other families are almost the same, taking out forty or fifty thousand taels is already considered a big injury to vitality, and one hundred thousand taels is already the limit, and it is estimated that they will not be able to earn so much in a year and a half.

Sure enough, when 40,000 taels were spoken, everyone stopped squeaking.

Master Gao also heard the Ling family behind him muttering: "That's it, it's okay to engrave your name in the second place." ”

Master Gao was overjoyed in his heart, thinking that he had hit the first place, but he didn't expect that Lin Liao's soft voice suddenly came from beside him: "Lord Qin, I will increase the size to 50,000 taels." ”

Master Gao's eyes widened: "Can this be increased?" ”

Lord Qin chuckled and said, "Naturally, it's okay, if you want to donate more money for disaster relief, you just do more good deeds, how can there be no reason?" ”

Master Gao couldn't say a reason for his objection, and looked at Lin Liao again: "Mrs. Song, you are not authentic, didn't you say that you don't have much cash at home?" ”

Lin Liao said with a smile: "The Song family really doesn't have much cash in it, but I still have 40,000 taels of private money, and I can take it all out." Master Gao, I'm sorry, you said it, do business, the one with the highest price wins. ”

Master Gao's temples jumped, but the desire to win had already been provoked, and he said, "Then I'll be fifty-five thousand taels!" ”

Seeing that no one spoke for a while, Lord Qin asked again: "Since this is the case, then the first one will be 55,000 taels from the Gao family......

Suddenly, someone interrupted him: "The Sun family donated 60,000 taels!" ”

The Sun family has been watching for a long time, and because they can't figure out the details of the Song family, they haven't made a move.

Now that he sees that Lin Liao can't let go of his hand, he doesn't call anymore, so why doesn't he come out more and vote for the first place?

The first in this row is definitely different from the second and third. Just like the champion is always more famous than Bangyan and Tanhua.

There are also those who have similar thoughts to the Sun family, and they also joined the competition: "The Li family has 70,000!" ”

Master Gao wiped his sweat...... He suddenly felt that he seemed to have underestimated these opponents, and they must have secretly made a fortune behind their backs!

Lin Liao calculated in his heart that those who did not participate in the bidding would definitely donate thousands of taels of silver, and counting the several big households who were bidding, together it was enough for Lord Qin to ask for the amount.

So she directly gave the reserve price: "The Song family is 200,000 taels!" ”

Everyone present gasped...... Didn't you say you had no money when you started!

If 200,000 taels were given at the beginning, they wouldn't have added money!

Master Gao was even more angry, and asked in a very unkind tone: "Mrs. Song, how can you do things like this?" Don't you just get the floor price just by refreshing it? Why do you still coax others, and say that your house has no cash...... Is this no cash?! ”

Lin Liao said good-naturedly: "Master Gao, don't be angry, I really didn't lie, I just suddenly thought that my family's Beibei has 150,000 taels of New Year's money over the years, and I think about donating it, which can not only give the old man a reputation, but also accumulate blessings and pray for Beibei." ”

Those who didn't participate in the price increase, it was not a big deal to see the excitement, and said with a smile: "Master Gao, you don't vote as much as Mrs. Song, so you are willing to admit defeat, why do you still bite it?" Can't afford to lose? ”

"That's right, Master Gao, if you are not convinced, donate some more to suppress Mrs. Song!"

Master Gao was embarrassed and retorted: "It's not that I can't afford to lose, I'm just ......"

What's it? I just can't afford to lose!

Lin Liao was still smiling, and he was not affected by him at all.

In fact, she didn't want to lie to him, and she knew that she deliberately provoked them to increase the price, which was quite unauthentic.

This idea was told to her by Beibei, and Beibei said that if this was not the case, those rich merchants would definitely only donate 1,000 taels of silver to deal with the problem.

Now their Song family and Qin family can't take out 500,000 taels at once, so they can only trick them into donating more.

Lord Qin thanked everyone and asked Qin Shaoyu to come to the front with the account book and record the donations made by everyone.

The Song family is the first, 200,000 taels. The Li family is second, 70,000 taels. The Sun family is the third, 60,000 taels.

There are no surprises in these, some of them brought money directly, and they gave it directly, and some of them did not bring it, so they told them to come and get it early tomorrow morning.

When it was recorded to the Gao family, Master Gao suddenly whispered to Qin Shaoyu: "Little Master Qin, I will donate 10,000 taels." ”

Qin Shaoyu couldn't cry or laugh, looked up at him and said, "Master Gao, didn't you say that you donated 55,000 taels?" ”

Master Gao's face was full of reason: "I didn't vote for the first place, why should I donate 55,000 taels?" My donation of 10,000 taels is already much higher than others! ”
