Chapter 59: Merchant Xue Long

"Li Gongzi is polite, but I don't know what is the purpose of summoning us here to make this inexplicable fundraiser, and who is it for?"

"Yes, yes."

。。。

The crowd below spoke.

"Don't worry, I also have to thank the fourth son for waking up to know right and wrong." Li Ren said with emotion.

"Yes, I was also woken up by the fourth son, a poem."

At this time, Tang Dong and Liu Hong also came out from the side.

"This..." The crowd didn't know why.

Even Yang Xi himself was confused.

Subsequently, Tang Dong began to recite it, which was the poem copied by Yang Shi of the Painting Boat Poetry Club at that time.

After reciting, Tang Dong looked at the people below.

"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the people present are basically well-informed, and everyone must have heard a little about the situation on the Chihu border."

"The Yang family, the father and ancestor of the fourth son, have always been the patron saints of our Western Realm of Great Xia."

"Now, General Zhenguo is now defending against the army of the Three Holy Kingdoms on the Chihu border, and my generation of Xixiang people, although they have not joined the army, they also want to do their part for the Yang family's army."

Subsequently, Li Ren, Tang Dong, and Liu Hong glanced at each other.

Li Ren took a step forward: "Therefore, the three of us decided that each family will take out 1,000 loads of grain plus 1,000 taels of silver and donate it to the soldiers at the Chihu border."

Hearing this, Yang Xi was directly stunned, so rich.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, the purchasing power of one tael of silver is almost equivalent to a thousand yuan, and this thousand taels of silver is equivalent to one million.

However, thinking of the three industries in Xixiang City, it is not too much for each of the three to come up with a thousand taels.

Tang Dong then opened his mouth and added: "The three of us combined, although there are three thousand quintals of grain and three thousand taels of silver, but I know that for the soldiers on the Chihu border, it is not much."

Liu Hong also stepped forward: "However, the financial resources of our three families are not very strong, so we can only come up with such a little."

"So, we want to work together, and everyone will do their best to contribute to the soldiers on the Chihu border."

"Today, Young Master Yang is also here to testify, we will send all the money raised by everyone to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and then transfer it to the soldiers on the Chihu border."

"I don't know what you think."

The words of the three fell, and there was immediately a discussion below.

For a long time, the Yang family has been in Xixiang City, and almost has never troubled the local people.

First, the Yang family also has its own industry and business, otherwise the Yang family army would not be able to raise it.

Second, the Yang family, as a powerful person, also has privileges and benefits in the Great Xia Kingdom, and the Yang family army has also been recorded in the Great Xia court, and the court will regularly give military subsidies to the Yang family.

Third, taxes, the taxes of the entire western border, according to the policy of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Yang family and the imperial court are in half, because this is the fief of the Yang family, which is the real bulk of the Yang family's income.

However, it was said that he was making a modest contribution to the soldiers on the Chihu border, and as a common man living in the west, he also enjoyed the protection of the Yang family.

So, they are still willing.

After the initial chaos, there were already voices to be heard.

"I'm from You's firm, and I'll give fifty loads of grain and fifty taels of silver."

"I am Xinan Buzhuang, a small family and a small business, and I give five loads of grain and five taels of silver."

"I am in Xilu Grain Village, and I will produce 3,000 quintals of grain."

"I..."

Yang Xi sat on the main seat and felt a little touched.

These businessmen are more or less willing to do their part.

However, Yang Shi doesn't know much about the various financial situations of the Yang family, and he doesn't know whether the Yang family needs these fundraising things.

However, no matter what, as the fourth son of the Yang family, he must also thank these merchants for their heart.

Li Ren has already sent someone to count the money and food collected for these donations.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for the soldiers of the Yang family on the side of Chihu."

Yang Xi stood up and bowed slightly to these merchants and people in Xixiang City.

"The fourth son doesn't have to be polite."

"The Yang family guards the peace of our people in Xixiang, and we should do our part."

"That's right, the soldiers on the Chihu border are killing the enemy with their lives, and we just give some money and food."

。。。

The crowd responded.

"I won't say much more, I'm here today, I would like to give you a drink."

Yang Xi picked up the wine on the table, poured himself a glass, and raised it to circle around.

Next, it's time to push the cup and change the lamp.

Everyone also knew why the banquet prepared by Li Ren this time was a few grades lower, but everyone did not complain.

Subsequently, Li Ren came to Yang Shi's side.

Inform Yang Xi that this fundraising meeting raised a total of more than 24,000 taels of silver and more than 30,000 quintals of grain.

Yang Shi arched his hand at Li Ren and thanked him.

Li Ren went on to say that the three of them would collect all the money and grain, and then send it to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and begged Yang Xi to find someone to help.

Yang Yan smiled and agreed, but Xixiang City collected the money and food for these donations, and the other party had already agreed to raise donations, so it was not very difficult at all.

And the reason why Li Ren asked Yang Shi to find someone to help was just to let Yang Shi find someone to supervise, proving that they were not greedy for ink.

Yang Shi naturally understood what Li Ren meant.

So he said that he would arrange a team of city defense garrisons to help escort these supplies.

The fundraiser lasted until the afternoon.

After agreeing on the details, everyone took their leave.

Yang Xi also took Chu Yi and Li Ren and Tang Dong to say goodbye.

Li Ren, Tang Dong, and Liu Hong got up to see each other.

。。。

"I didn't expect that these businessmen are quite caring."

Walking on the street, Chu Yi spoke.

"yes." Yang Xi sighed with emotion.

However, at this time.

Yang Xian's expression suddenly straightened.

"Young Master Yang, I caught that bug."

Xue Long's voice echoed in Yang Yan's ears.

Yang Shi naturally knew what the worm in Xue Long's mouth was.

This is also the main purpose of this time, the fundraising conference, but it is incidental.

"There are a lot of people on the street, so it's not easy for me to identify, and the other party is also very good at covering up."

"Next, I'll bump into him, you recognize the fourth son."

Bump?

Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, how to bump.

Afterwards, Yang Xi saw that there was a merchant carrying a burden beside him.

It's just that this merchant is a little strong.

Who is not Xue Long?

Yang Xi was stunned for a while.

This is where this is done.

"Childe, don't buy something." Xue Long carried the burden and shouted at Yang.

"No, no, no." Looking at Xue Long, who was dressed in cloth clothes and had already entered the play too deeply, Yang Yan looked confused.

Chu Yi and Xiaoyanzi obviously also recognized Xue Long, and they were in a daze for a while.

"Hehe~" Xue Long laughed twice, and then walked away with his burden.

Chu Yi and Xiao Yanzi's eyes both looked at Yang Shi with questions in their eyes.

Senior Xue, what kind of trouble is this?

Yang Yan spread his hands innocently, he didn't know.

"Oh, you merchant, you don't have long eyes!"

At this moment, there was a burst of exclamations from ahead.

Yang Yan looked up and saw that Xue Long was apologizing to a middle-aged man in a low voice.

Yang Xian's eyes froze, and the tracking technique was activated!
