Chapter 40: Inducement
"The county government is poor, and the only way I can think of is to ask for help," Han Mu said: "So I invite everyone to come today to raise donations." ”
As soon as they heard that they were going to donate money, everyone turned their heads and ears.
Only the three families of Zeng, Yue, and Yao, who sat on the top three seats, did not move.
Master Yao didn't talk to his two sons, he chose to speak directly to Han Mu, "Hmph, fundraising? Han County's order might as well directly say that the donation order is, I don't know how much a household needs to donate? ”
"Isn't it a harsh donation order issued at this time?"
Although the voice was small, Han Mu still heard it.
He was a little displeased, "Who said that I was going to issue a donation order, my purpose is to help the people, how can I issue a donation order again?" ”
"What does Han County's order mean that this donation is only from us people?"
As soon as these words came out, the discussion in the hall became louder.
Master Zeng picked his lips and listened quietly, and Master Yao did not hide the schadenfreude on his face.
Han Mu said: "I don't force you, if you don't want to, forget it." ”
The crowd was still waiting for him to threaten them at length or to convince them with benefits, but he suddenly came to such a sentence.
The anger that rose in everyone's hearts stagnated, and someone asked, "Is it okay not to donate?" ”
Han Mu waved his hand and said, "As you like." ”
He said: "If you don't donate, there is no penalty anyway, but there is a reward for the donor." ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, and some people sat up straight and leaned forward slightly, "I don't know what the reward is?" ”
"Alas, the county government is so poor, and I also use all the money sent to me by my family for the people, so I can't get out of the good things," Han Mu said: "But the donors have made great contributions to Yixian County, and they are worthy of praise from the people of Yixian County and their descendants, so I decided to set up a monument next to the announcement wall in front of the county government, and the name of the donor and the donated money are engraved on it for future generations to commemorate and learn." ”
Everyone was stunned, even Master Zeng was stunned, and couldn't help but sit up straight, "Engrave a monument?" ”
"That's right," Han Mu waved his hand and said, "I will choose a good tablet and then choose a good master to carve." ”
Master Zeng swallowed his saliva and his heart moved.
It's just that there is another voice in his heart, and that voice tells him that he can't be fooled, otherwise they will be completely pinched by Han Mu, but ......
He swept his eyes around the hall, and sure enough, many people had excited looks on their faces, and some had even gotten together to discuss how much to donate.
The inscription is erected on the edge of the county office, and such a big event must be written in the county chronicle, which is equivalent to the donor will be on the county chronicle, and the county chronicle will be famous for eternity.
They have money, and the power is not easy to fight, but what is with the money and power is fame, and now they have the opportunity to achieve the achievement of fame, who can resist this temptation?
He doesn't donate, but people donate.
When the inscription is engraved, only he is not on it, what will the people of Yixian County think of him, how will they think of the Zeng family?
Master Zeng couldn't help but close his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was much sharper, "Han County Order, how much do you want us to donate?" ”
Everyone quieted down and looked at Han Mu.
Han Mu spread his hands and said: "You can donate whatever you want, but don't donate if it's less than 100 Wen, I will also have a cost for engraving." ”
He said: "After that, I will issue an announcement to inform the county, and anyone with good intentions can come to the county government to donate, and I will write them down one by one, and then let people engrave the monument." ”
"All the proceeds of the donation will be engraved, you can rest assured, I will use the money you donate for Yixian County and the people."
At this point, everyone still believes in Han Mu, and no one doubts that he will be greedy for ink.
After all...... He is the son of Yong'an Hou, judging from the luggage that day, his family is also very rich, and there is no need to pick up their money.
Even Master Yao, who was very unfriendly with him, knew deep down in his heart that Han Mu would not be greedy for this money.
He also lowered his head and pondered at this time, and asked Yao Boqing with a serious face after a while, "How much does our family donate?" ”
Yao Boqing said: "Look at how much the Zeng family and the Yue family donate." ”
Master Yao's face changed, and his face became more and more gloomy and displeased, "At least we can't be lower than the Yue family." ”
It's just that I don't know how much money I need to pay, and he is unwilling to give too much, and if he gives less, I'm afraid he will be crushed by other families.
He was already very unconvinced by the Zeng family, and if he was pressed on his head by other families, Master Yao could vomit to death.
Master Yue also turned his head and asked Yue Jinghe, "Jinghe, how much do you say we donate?" ”
Someone pricked up their ears to listen.
Yue Jinghe said with a flat face: "Be happy with your father." ”
Master Yue was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and was about to speak, Han Mu raised his hand and suppressed their voices, "I know that everyone is hesitating, but I don't have to wait for you to make a decision at this time, after dinner, everyone will go back and discuss it with the family." ”
They don't have any desire to eat these meals, "I don't know when the county order plans to sign up." ”
Han Mu couldn't help but look at Gu Junruo.
Gu Junruo lowered his eyes and glanced at his hand.
Han Mu glanced at it and said, "Ten days later, you can all come to donate money in these ten days, I will count the list, and I will start carving the monument in ten days." ”
When everyone got the letter, they got up to say goodbye, and after eating, they hurried home to discuss it with their families.
Master Zeng got up slowly and walked in front of Han Mu, "Han County's order is a good means." ”
He looked at Gu Junruo, "There is even a good lady." ”
Han Mu smiled at him, looked past him to look at Master Yue, and arched his hand: "Master Yue has to keep the food, this grain is still bought with the money you gave." ”
Master Yue glanced at Master Zeng, and said with a smile: "Then it will be bothered below." ”
The two talked happily, and Master Zeng's heart sank even more, and he finally flicked his sleeves and left.
Master Yao also followed Master Zeng, Yao Boqing smiled apologetically at Han Mu, and then chased out, but Yao Jibai did not follow them, but shook the fan to look left and right, and finally came to Han Mu's side, "Han County Order, I don't know if I can eat your family's meal?" ”
Han Mu pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Eat as you like, you're welcome." ”
Yao Jibai, "I'm not talking about this, but eating with you." ”
Han Mu frowned, "Why do you have such a problem?" How good is it to divide the case and eat, why should you be in the same case? ”
Yao Jibai felt that he was pretending to be stupid, "Naturally, I want to taste the dishes that Han Xianling eats on weekdays, I don't know what the taste of the capital is, is it much worse than ours?" ”
Han Mu took a cake and stuffed it into his hand, and said, "This is made by my cook, try it." ”
He said: "Fortunately, my mother let her come with Ziyou, otherwise if you want to eat the taste of the capital, I really can't change it for you." ”
Taking advantage of their words, Gu Junruo turned sideways and asked Master Yue and Yue Jinghe to come aside to talk.
Master Yue was surprised, "You mean you want to put the money in our name and donate it?" ”
Gu Junruo bowed: "Not bad." ”
