Chapter 31 Charity

The auction meeting came to an end, and the three "big chandeliers" behind Tao Ran had been sent to the mansions by special personnel. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the lights on the giant screen on the stage have been turned on, the three "streamers" have been removed, and the stage always looks dim. Tao Ran, who was standing on it, seemed to have unloaded his divine light and stepped back to the world from heaven again.

The auction was over, and everyone was about to leave, but the twelve staff members in charge of the transmission were still standing there peacefully.

"The auction is over, but I personally have a reluctant request, I hope you can stay and listen to me tell a story, I wonder if you can appreciate the boy's face and stay for another half an hour?" Tao Ran said, and at the same time, his words were also spread throughout the square by the twelve.

Tao Ran's appearance is as mysterious as this mysterious line, he rented a shop three days ago, and three days later the city was full of wind and rain. Today's sale reached an income of nearly 200,000 silver taels, which is a commercial miracle even in the eyes of insiders. And how do these amazing lamps come to be, and what kind of genius must these new marketing methods come up with?

Standing under this stage are all figures with heads and faces in Siping City, but no one has found a clue from this mysterious line. Even Tao Ran, this is the first time they have seen him, acting so secretively, almost arousing everyone's curiosity.

Tao Ran didn't expect his identity to be so attractive, and none of the rich people in the audience left. Even he couldn't help but feel a little proud, so many people with heads and faces to testify to themselves, it would be difficult for his image to be glorious in the future.

"Thank you for giving me a piece of thin noodles. Tao Ran bowed to the audience, and after that, he said: "I now announce a news, all the proceeds from this mysterious sale will be used for the construction of Xicheng! ”

The whole audience was boiling! What was sold! What was auctioned for a sky-high price! Compared with this piece of information, it was not worth a single day, 200,000 taels of silver! Said to have donated money? This is much more bold than those buyers who spend a lot of money.

What kind of place is the west of the city, the wealthy businessmen here all know that the dirty streets, the ragged people, the dilapidated courtyards, where the people gathered are the lowest people in Siping City. The three religions and nine streams of carrying burdens, resisting goods, stealing, and robbing are all-encompassing, and it is also the most chaotic place in the entire Siping City, and the yamen can't take care of it, after all, you can't even eat enough, who will tell you the law.

This sentence shocked Liu Zhixian to stand up suddenly, and the construction of the west of the city has always been a problem for him. Although I really wanted to clean up this dirty corner of the city, even if it was to clean up all the dirty streets, I tried it again, but it was not three days later, and it was back to a stinking appearance. It is unrealistic to expect a bunch of people who do not have enough to eat, to pay attention to something else.

How to solve the problem in the west of the city, to put it bluntly, is just the word "money"! Although Siping City is an important trading town, and the annual taxes are hundreds of thousands of taels, they all have to be handed over. The money that can be left behind has already been used up after paying the accounts in the yamen, and Liu Zhixian is a well-known Qing official, so where will the money come from to govern the west of the city? 200,000 taels! 200,000 taels of silver, it is enough to renovate the entire west of the city, is it possible that it will not cure the poor diseases of those people?

Lord Futai was also stunned, this is really a big deal, thought about it slightly, and beckoned the little official next to him to cancel the task of investigating Tao Ran. The little official was also relieved, the family that did business in the upper river realm was more than 1,800, if he really wanted to investigate, his little official broke his leg and said that he might not be able to investigate clearly, and those wealthy businessmen might not be able to buy his account as a small official.

Tao Ran smiled and looked at the reaction of the audience, what is a gimmick, this is the biggest gimmick today. From now on, I have to be named the biggest philanthropist, such a big honorary title, even if I do anything to be a traitor in the future, others will not believe it.

"Do you know why I want to donate this money?" Tao Ran looked distressed, "My caravan was robbed in Jiahu Road, and I came to Siping City penniless. If General Zhan hadn't taken a big risk to let me into the city, I would have starved to death outside the city. ”

Zhan Yongchang hid in the crowd, he, a low-ranking official, didn't dare to drill in this wealthy businessman and rich gentry, not to mention that there were two adults inside. Suddenly, I heard Tao Ran chanting his name, and I was also taken aback.

This kid doesn't forget his roots, and he knows how to repay his kindness. Zhan Yongchang was unexpectedly fake, he has been serving as the gate official of Siping City, and almost everyone in the city knows him. As soon as Tao Ran said it at this moment, he suddenly became the focus of attention.

"Brother Zhan not only found me a place to live, but also found me a job, allowing me to spend the most difficult time, thank you!" Tao Ran bowed in his direction. Immediately, a little guy invited him to the stage, and Tao Ran gave him a big hug, which attracted a lot of applause from the audience.

Tao Ran touched the tears in the corners of his eyes, and choked up again: "Those **** live in the west of the city, what kind of scene is that? Ragged, yellow and thin, those children can look at a Hu Cake and leave saliva for a long time, when I gave the Hu Cake to the child, he only sniffed it and gave it to the younger brothers and sisters behind him." Can you imagine life there? There is only one meal of meat to eat all year round, or the dead pig dragged up by the child's father from the river! You only know that there is a stinking place and the people inside are stinking, but do you know how difficult it is for them to survive?"

"They are doing all the dirtiest and most tiring work in the city, but they have the least amount of money! It's not that they're lazy, it's not that they're inherently dirty, it's because they've left it clean to you!" he shouted out the last sentence, and when he finished speaking, tears flowed down his face.

The audience was silent, and no one knew that it would be such an ending.

Liu Xuan'er looked at Tao Ran on the stage in a daze, although the three big chandeliers were extinguished, his body was clearer, it was the appearance of a person. But the soul inside seemed to shine so brightly that she was ashamed. She has always thought that Tao Ran ignored herself because he had low self-esteem. It turns out that it is all my own fault, and it has never been inferior. "We are basically people of two worlds", it is true, as the daughter of the county commander, she has nothing to do with the poor people in the west of the city, so what face can she have with him. Her beautiful eyes gradually moistened.

She wasn't the only one with moist eyes, and the whole street was silent, with the occasional sob.

"I'll donate another 1,000 taels!"

I don't know who started it, and it almost ignited the audience.

"I'll donate five hundred taels!"

"Eight hundred taels!"

“......”

The voices of donations come and go, and they are all masters who are not bad for money, and they are willing to buy a lamp for tens of thousands of taels of silver, let alone donate a few hundred taels of silver.

Tao Ran had already restrained his crying and looked at the audience with a smile, at this time he was as holy as God.

After this battle, he has been completely whitewashed, and in the future, even if someone finds out that he was once a bandit in the mountains, he will have to weigh himself if he wants to move.
