Chapter 377: It's better to rob it than to raise donations like this
Got it!
Everyone suddenly realized.
And those subordinates in the outer circle who didn't know much about their conversation heard that the Ning family was asking for a donation of 100,000 taels of silver, and their eyes glowed green like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb.
100,000 taels!
If they get their hands on the money, their families will get at least a hundred taels.
One hundred taels in Jinling, for the rich, can only buy two bottles of perfume, but in the barren country, one or two silver is the cost of the whole family for a year, there is only one silver mine in the country, there is no good mining technology, silver is a valuable coin, very rare, and the value is naturally higher than Daxing.
"Kono-san, I want to take on this task, what should I do?"
"I want to go too!"
"Boss, what am I going to do to complete this mission?"
Most of the Japanese people standing in the outer circle are not bright-minded, and they can't think of too complicated means to complete the task, but when they compete for two places, they almost cause internal strife and fight.
Seeing this, Kono could only pull out his Hidden Blade, slash towards the void, and show his weapon, which shocked this group of undisciplined, rogue-born fine workers.
"Calm down! Don't fight anyone! ”
Kono pointed to the tallest of them.
"You are as you are now, as an idle contractor."
At this time, the height of the Japanese people is generally lower than that of the Daxing people, and if they don't pay attention to their appearance and expression, it is easy to expose their identity.
Only this person who is a head taller than them, although he has only been in Jinling for three years, has completely integrated into the people of Daxing.
The young man who was chosen smiled so much that his eyes were bent into a crescent moon.
However, before he could laugh, Kono pointed to a middle-aged man who was the ugliest of the group and usually lived by pouring night incense.
"You will resume your status as a widow tomorrow, dress dirty and messy, and when you pretend to pass by the gate of Ningfu with him, you will first ask him for alms, and then scuffle together, the purpose is to publicize how difficult the local people are now, and you want to help your family raise donations."
"However, what you want him to donate is not a few copper plates, but ten taels of silver."
A mouth will cost ordinary people ten taels of silver to raise donations?
Then we might as well go and grab it!
Everyone present was very worried when they heard about the play arranged by Kono.
"Chief, if you act like this, what if the Daxing people think that's what we Japanese people think?"
"That's right, if they say they don't don't donate, they really don't donate, and we can only rob it like our predecessors in the end."
"In the past, when I robbed, I took advantage of the chaos to rob, but now the country is strong and strong, and there is no turmoil, just the officials of the yamen can force our group of people to be like rats crossing the street......"
The words of this widow, under the pressure of everyone, finally failed to continue.
Although they are not flexible in their minds, they are not stupid either.
Everyone thinks that Kono's arrangement is simply cutting off his own way back.
"It's okay, Shangguan has already arranged for a master to solve this problem, you just have to play yours, tomorrow at the gate of Ningfu to perform a play first, and then I will find someone to find out Ning Wuxian's tone, if it doesn't work, then continue to smear our widows."
Shangguan's request is a reversal!
The main thing is to make them not want to donate money to the Japanese people first, and then wait until the reversal, and then willingly pay more money.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, Kono naturally did not tell the whole plan.
After sending everyone away, Kono replied to Shangguan with a letter.
Thinking that when it was done, in addition to Ning Wuxian's donation, he would be able to share a part of the donations of the entire group of wealthy businessmen in Jinling, and Kono was smiling in his dreams.
Early morning.
Ning Wuxiao felt the ground shake a little, he shook his spirit, suddenly woke up from his sleep, picked up his shoes and prepared to run out, seeing Yun Fei standing calmly in the doorway, pushing open the door and looking outward, realizing that it was not a belated aftershock from the Wa Kingdom, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the bed again.
"What's going on out there?"
The tremor just now seemed to come from the direction of the back door.
And his yard was closest to the back door of Ning Mansion, and he wondered in his heart: Was it that when a little guy pulled the cart, he hit the corner of the wall?
For this little episode that disturbed Qingmeng, Ning Wuxian didn't pay attention to it.
When I woke up, I woke up, and I just practiced Yun Xi Gong for a while.
After continuous and unremitting cultivation, his Cloud Breath Gong seemed to have touched the threshold of advancing to the second layer.
Now he doesn't have to deliberately feel the air flow from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, as long as his mind moves, it can go up the current according to his inertia, and after reducing the time for him to mobilize the air flow, his cultivation will get twice the result with half the effort.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he had completed the cultivation results that had just begun to last half an hour.
Ning Wuxian ran his breath again for a week, thinking that the martial arts exam would be held in two days, and when he got up early today and practiced for a while, he heard a burst of footsteps at the gate of the courtyard.
Many people walked briskly past the gate of the courtyard and walked in the direction of the back door.
Well...... His ears were better than before, and he could hear the chatter of the nurses.
"That widow is really shameless, his family has suffered a disaster, and he can't catch a person on the road and go to ask for money."
"Who said no, he still asked for ten taels of silver when he opened his mouth, even if he was anxious, he couldn't ask everyone in Daxing to donate money to him."
"I have long said that the Japanese people do not have a good thing, you are young, you have long forgotten the time when the Japanese were prevalent, far away from the coastal Jinling, there are Japanese people who often come here to rob houses, and when you encounter this kind of unreasonable and nonsense Japanese people, report directly to the government and throw him out of Jinling!"
Did the Japanese run to the gate of Ningfu to beg for money?
Ning Wuxian always felt that this matter was coming at him.
It's not that he boasts, this disaster, if you talk about the most money and efforts, the Ning family is definitely the number one in Jinling.
Now that nine days have passed since the earthquake, the Japanese people in Jinling should have received the news of the disaster in the Japanese country, and if they are unable to help themselves, according to his understanding of the Japanese people, they naturally want to seek help from their neighbors.
Daxing, which is rich in heritage, has always been the best choice for the Japanese people.
"It's just that I've seen moral kidnapping, and I've also seen open robbery, like this kind of clearly marked price for people to raise donations, it's really the first time I've heard of it."
However, no matter what kind of means, in short, the shameless behavior of the Japanese people has deeply touched Ning Wuxian.
He no longer planned to cultivate, so he put on his clothes and shoes and walked out.
When he came to the back door, he saw his own small servant and nursing home, and a tall and thin young man, who kept facing the housekeeper.
"Fifth son, why did you wake you up?"
When the housekeeper saw Ning Wuxian coming, he hurriedly pointed to the brick in the corner.
"It's all thanks to the widow who pulled the dung truck everywhere to beg for money, and when he quarreled, he hit the corner of our house, which is really unlucky, and I just saw him pitiful, and in order to send him away, I gave him half a tael of silver."
Butler, you're such a good old man.
Ning Wuxiao can imagine what kind of tragic situation the Japanese people just now would portray themselves in order to raise donations.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to smash the corner of his house and still get out of it.
He also didn't want to accuse the butler of being deceived into his good intentions, but looked at another unlucky passer-by who was arguing with the widows.
If the widow who pulled the dung was coming for him, for this passer-by, what happened just now was really a disaster in vain.
He didn't open his mouth to comfort the other party, but the other party said indignantly: "Ning Shixian, that widow raised money, and actually opened his mouth, I originally planned to donate a day's wages to him, but now it seems that this kind of person is not worthy of sympathy at all, Ning Shixian, you are usually kind and generous, but you must not ask for how much money they want, you can donate how much money to them!" ”
