Xu Jingzhou's hand stopped chopping rice, he stared at Yang Shu, and raised the corners of his mouth, "It's still Wang Shanggao!" ”

"I'll do it now."

Xu Jingzhou didn't care about eating, and he was about to leave as soon as the chopsticks were released.

"Don't be in a hurry for a while, eat first." Yang Shu shouted to him, "The body is the foundation, you have to have a good one, Yueyao can't complain about me?" ”

"It needs to be louder." Xu Jingzhou spoke slowly, then picked up the bowl and quickly picked up the rice.

Yang Shu looked at his high bulging cheeks and silently gave a thumbs up, this is the parent official.

It is more active to work for the good of the people than to take a wife.

Touching his chin, Yang Shu glanced at Xu Jingzhou, he is not young, should he find a daughter-in-law?

Now that Xu Yueyao is watching, she has proper food and clothing, but Xu Yueyao can't stay in the Assassin's Mansion for the rest of her life.

"Uncle, what kind of girl do you like?"

Xu Jingzhou's eyes stared at the rice in front of him, his eyes kept changing, and he fell into deep thought at a glance.

Yang Shu shook his head, got up and left.

Early the next morning, it was spread all over Huining County: the king wanted to erect a monument and engrave the name of the donor for the world to admire.

"Have you heard, donate the most silver, engrave big characters."

On the street, there was a lot of conversation.

"Engrave big letters? I don't know which one it will be. ”

"Anyway, it can't be the Qiu family, my cousin works in the yamen, and he told me that the Qiu family will donate 100,000 taels, which is still the highest in several families."

"100,000 taels is not a lot." Someone spoke up.

"It's a lot, but half a year ago, the Qiu patriarch had a birthday, and the banquet alone was not less than this number." The person who spoke held out a finger.

"A thousand taels?"

"It's ten thousand taels."

Everyone took a breath of cool air, and the banquet alone was 10,000 taels? How much is the whole birthday party?

I can't think about it.

"The children of the Qiu family are outside, but they have never been cold, and it is common to spend a lot of money, so you believe in the Qiu family's rhetoric."

"Forget it, you can't force too much." Someone said, and sighed lowly after speaking, and only the king would spend a lot of money on them.

Others, just for fame.

Knowing the reluctance of the Qiu family, everyone's gratitude lightened a lot.

"There is also news that Qinzhou is going to build five good halls to take in the lonely and widowed, and Boss Xue of the Dongji Silk Shop has released a word and donated all his family wealth, which is said to be 500,000 taels."

"Isn't this going to be more than ......" the straight-talking man hurriedly stopped.

The man next to him laughed, "Don't talk nonsense, I've counted, it's still a little short." ”

"Let's not talk about it, if we keep talking, we will have to be heartless."

"Yes, how much to donate is their heart, and it has nothing to do with us."

"It's out of the stall."

The crowd dispersed in twos and threes.

Qiu Chuan'an hurriedly walked to the courtyard, "Uncle Zhong, is grandpa awake?" ”

"Just up." The well-dressed old servant replied with a smile and led Qiu Chuan'an in.

"Grandpa."

"What's the matter?" Qiu Guan frowned slightly, and there was displeasure on his face.

Qiu Chuan'an calmed his breath, "Yang Shu wants to erect a monument and engrave the name of the donor." ”

"The top one is engraved in large letters."

"I received an urgent letter that the Hedong Min clan sent 300,000 taels of silver to the Qin Palace."

Qiu Guan's complexion changed, "Engraved?" ”

"Not yet, I said it started at noon."

"What time is it?"

"A moment in the hour."

Qiu Guan paced two steps, his face was blue and red, and the descendants of the Min clan in Hedong were not successful, and they had fallen into decline in recent years.

They can all come up with 300,000 taels, and as soon as the name goes up, who still believes that the Qiu family is in a difficult pocket.

It will only ridicule them for hypocrisy and hypocrisy.

"Grandpa, the matter is already spreading, and the name on the stele is bound to be known to everyone."

"If it's still 100,000 taels ......, the Qiu family may not be able to raise their heads in the future." Qiu Chuan'an's expression was solemn.

"What a good game of chess!" Qiu Guan's chest rose and fell, and he was very angry.

"Go to every house and send a message to them, and let them come and take counsel."

Qiu Guan finished speaking, and the servant trotted into the courtyard, "Old lady, the patriarch of the Pan family is here." ”

"Take people to the hall."

Qiu Guan strode out, and Qiu Chuan'an supported him to prevent Qiu Guan from walking too quickly and falling.

Before the words of the little guy have passed, the important people of the family have already arrived.

"How's that okay?" The patriarch of the Yin family looked angry and slapped the table, "This kid is really insidious!" ”

Among the major families, the Yin family donated the least amount of silver, which had to be engraved, and in the future, if they were a little extravagant, they would have to be poked in the backbone.

In the previous rumors, they proposed to donate silver to build a bridge, and the result was tens of thousands of taels, which is pity for the people and is clearly a provocation.

You must know that Yang Shu will set up a monument, and publicize it like this, how can the Yin family patriarch not reach 50,000 taels.

The family relies on fame.

"You have to add more, and it must not be less than the Min family." The patriarch of the Pan family said in a deep voice.

"Plus, it has to be added." The others chimed in, their faces eager.

"How much?"

As soon as Qiu Guan said this, the hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes tilted to the side, looking at each other.

Yang Shu made it clear that he wanted to publicize it, and it was no surprise that this tablet would be circulated for a long time, and it would definitely be recorded in the history books.

Who doesn't want it?

For a while, no one spoke.

Qiu Chuan'an looked at this scene and secretly praised Yang Shu for his cleverness, not only making people pay for it, but also for fear that it would be less than others.

"Okay, it's time like this, so don't go around and around it." Qiu Guan looked at them and said in a deep voice.

"Go back and donate as much as you want."

The patriarch of the Pan family frowned, "Don't discuss?" ”

"How to discuss? It's all foxes, which one is pure? Here it was said that it would donate 300,000 yuan, and in the end, it was definitely more than 300,000 yuan. ”

"In the end, it hurts and gets angry."

Qiu Guan was a little tired, too lazy to say more, and asked Qiu Chuan'an to help him go back.

"Grandpa." Qiu Chuan'an held the hot tea to Qiu Guan, "Everyone is gone." ”

"Hmm."

Qiu Chuan'an pinched his forehead and said in a low voice: "Chuan'er, in your opinion, how much does the Qiu family donate?" ”

Qiu Chuanan thought for a moment and opened his mouth, "The more the merrier." ”

"The family relies on each other, but they also compete, the Qiu family has a deep heritage, they may not want to press each other, this is the best opportunity."

"Gain a good name, and the scholars will flock to their borders."

"The Qiu family has always had a reputation for benevolence, and it is a century-old family, if it can't be ranked above them, it will be the most affected."

Qiu Guan nodded, and said quietly: "I underestimated him." ”

Qiu Chuan'an knew this, he was talking about Yang Shu, looked at the direction of Qin Wangfu, Qiu Chuan'an pondered for a while, and was organizing the language in his mind, when he saw Qiu Guan ask him:

"Chuan'er, what do you think of Yang Shu?"

"The talent, courage, courage, and strategy are all very comparable." Qiu Chuanan replied.

"Grandpa, treat him softly, not hard."

"He doesn't care if he offends us."

"Judging from his actions, he is not a reckless person, he can only have hole cards and is not afraid at all."
