Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1323 Rejection
You, Li Shimin, love the people like a child. Could it be that I am just taking advantage of others?

Su Cheng smiled and said: "Your Majesty loves the people like a child, but the minister is not extorting. These donations come from rich households in Chang'an and Luoyang. On the one hand, they donate money to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. It's just for fun, and the money donated is just to save them from going to brothels and having fewer banquets! After raising these charitable funds, I can be regarded as taking from the people and using them for the people."

In fact, Li Shimin and the others also understand these reasons. These donations all come from wealthy households, but they are all donated voluntarily, so naturally there will be no complaints.

If it was really about extortion and extortion, Wei Zheng would have complained long ago, not mentioning others.

Wei Zheng laughed and said, "What is taken from the people and used by the people is a good saying."

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said, "Didn't you hear, Su Cheng? They are all talking about it. They think it's too boring to hold a charity banquet for only one day. If you want to hold it for a few days, even if you need to donate money to enter the park every day no problem!"

Yuchi Gong nodded repeatedly and said: "This is true, many people have said that, the Furong Garden is so big, they still have more to say."

In fact, Li Shimin also heard a lot of people talking about it during his visit to the garden, so Li Shimin's eyes lit up all of a sudden, the kind that is so bright.

More than 200 million yuan was raised in one day today!

If we continue to hold the charity banquet tomorrow, even if we don't raise less than 200 million guan, then we can always raise more than 100 million guan, right?

If this is held for a few more days, I am afraid that not all the treasury revenue for a year will be raised!
Moreover, holding a ten-and-a-half-month charity banquet every year, wouldn't that raise 1000 million yuan every year?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin gets excited. Although the money is not from the imperial court, it is still used on the common people.

And if 1000 million yuan is really raised, it won't take that much money just to treat the children.

After all, the entire Tang court could not use up 1000 million coins a year.

Empress Changsun was also very shocked, and said with emotion: "There are so many rich people in Chang'an and Luoyang!"

Li Shimin laughed and said: "Since they all hope so much that the charity banquet can be held for a few more days, then let's hold it for a few more days. Su Cheng, we must not let everyone down!"

While talking, Li Shimin was still thinking, since he can raise so much money, then it's okay for him to charge Su Cheng some rent, right?

After all, it is the Royal Forbidden Garden, 50 pens a day is not too much, right?
If it is rented for ten days, it will be 500 million guan. Li Shimin's saliva is almost left at the thought of this.

Although he is an emperor and rich all over the world, his family has a big business and a lot of expenses, and there are still wars outside.

Su Cheng shook his head slightly and said: "The Charity Federation will be held for this day, and it will not be held again in a short time."

"What? Just hold this day?" Li Shimin was immediately stunned, as if wondering if he heard it wrong.

Cheng Yaojin yelled directly: "Su Cheng, are you stupid?"

Fang Xuanling hurriedly said: "Su Cheng, you have to think twice, now is the time to make persistent efforts!"

Everyone became anxious when they heard that, 200 million pens a day is equivalent to picking up for nothing, and the wealthy households who entered the park strongly demanded to open it for a few more days, and Su Cheng didn’t plan to open it yet, wouldn’t this mean throwing away millions for nothing? through?
Su Cheng said with a smile: "I really only plan to hold this day. I'm not stupid. The reason why I hold it for one day is that I made a deliberate decision, and there is a reason for it."

Empress Changsun asked with concern: "Su Cheng, do you have any embarrassment? The Furong Garden is also idle, and it doesn't matter if it is open for a few more days."

Li Shimin waved his hand, and quickly said: "If there is any difficulty, Su Cheng, just ask, I will solve it for you!"

At this moment, Li Shimin's words can be said to be decisive and powerful. For the sake of these millions, even the king of heaven and I have to step aside.

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "It's not because of any difficulties."

"Then why?" Li Shimin stared at Su Cheng with burning eyes and asked, and if Su Cheng was not satisfied with the answer, he would roll up his sleeves and start.

"You don't understand if you tell me, it's called hunger marketing!" Su Cheng said.

Li Shimin and others were stunned: "What the hell?"

Su Cheng coughed dryly and explained: "The meaning is to hang everyone. If we let everyone come here for a while and have a good time watching it, then no one will come here in the future."

"It makes everyone feel unfinished every time, so everyone will want to come next time."

"Although we can raise several million dollars more in a few days, this charity banquet has become a one-shot deal, and it will be scrapped in the future. It is tantamount to killing the chicken and picking the eggs."

"So, it's better to hold it twice a year, once in spring and once in autumn, so that it can be held every year, and the long-term way is long-term."

Empress Changsun thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Su Cheng said makes sense."

Wei Zheng also nodded and said: "Indeed, a long flow of water is the way to last."

It is too easy to choose between getting 1000 million guan at a time and getting 400 million guan every year.

Although 1000 million yuan is very attractive, but Li Shimin and the others are wily and calculating people, they can bear it no matter how attractive they are.

Li Shimin said regretfully: "Since what you said makes sense, then do as you say!"

Empress Changsun said with a smile: "Why should your majesty feel sorry? You should think about the good. It can be held again in autumn, and it can be held twice a year in the future."

In fact, Li Shimin also understands this truth, but he still can't help but feel greedy when he thinks of 1000 million guan, and there will be several million guan every year in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but smile like a treacherous fox.

"Su Cheng, it's okay for you to continue to hold charity banquets in Furong Garden in the future. After all, you also want to raise money to help the children. It's just that so many people came in and caused some damage to Furong Garden. Furong Garden also needs it. Repair, do you understand?" Li Shimin said with a smile.

Su Cheng nodded slightly and said: "I understand, isn't it a long time interval, so let's repair it!"

Why are you so unreasonable?Li Shimin said unhappily: "Repairing the garden requires money. This is a forbidden royal garden. I won't ask you for money, but you will pay for the repairing of the garden, right?"

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and the others had no objection after hearing this. The main reason was that Su Cheng raised too much money, several million pennies a year, and it would not take that much to treat sick children. He spent tens of thousands of pennies Repairing the garden is also normal.

So the emperor's request was reasonable and reasonable. Of course, the question was how much money the emperor planned to spend on repairing the garden.
