The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1049
In fact, the wealthy businessmen here can easily take it out, it depends on their reluctance.

10,000+ taels of silver for disaster relief, this can only be said to be barely enough.More silver is naturally better, the more the better!

"Shopkeeper Zhan, please sit down! On behalf of those victims, I would like to thank you Juxianglou!" Hu Maoshen was relieved when he saw that he really had money.

No matter how much can be raised in the end, 3 taels is not too little.

It's just that the attitude of Juxianglou is quite positive. Could it be that Juxianglou has some connection with Gu Chengyu?

This can explain why Shopkeeper Zhan responded so positively to Gu Chengyu's words.

Before the shopkeeper Zhan sat down, he took a provocative look at Xia Hongji, and then said: "Your Excellency, you are welcome, our boss is not the kind of person who is rich and unkind."

Everyone in the room looked a little ugly. Does the shopkeeper mean that the wealthy businessmen present are all ruthless for the sake of the rich?It really made them pissed off.

When Xia Hongji saw that the shopkeeper really took out the silver, his face suddenly became more serious.

Is this for real? 3 taels of silver!Are you trying to poach his heart?
Although the money goes to the public account, it is all the family's money.But if he gave the money to Gu Chengyu today, the patriarch would definitely scold him later.

"My lords! Although our Li's Commercial Bank is a small business, we are still willing to do our part. Our Li's Commercial Bank is willing to contribute 1 taels of silver!"

Li Yuhuan gritted her teeth and said.

Their Li family is incomparable to those wealthy businessmen, 1 taels is really the limit.

"Okay! Li Shaodong's family is also a person who understands righteousness. The 1 taels of silver will be used to divert the river embankment of Hangtianfu. After the completion of the project, I will erect a monument of merit. Anyone who donates more than 1 taels of silver will be let The craftsmen engraved the silver taels and family members on the stele for future generations to look up to!"

"Your Excellency, you are too serious. We Li's Commercial Firm are ashamed!"

Li Yuhuan was a little overjoyed now, and his voice was trembling with excitement.

How much honor is it to engrave on the inscription for future generations to look up to?This kind of good thing that will last forever, their Li family really took advantage of it, the 1 taels of silver are worth it!

Fortunately, after he hesitated just now, he gritted his teeth and agreed.Even if I go back and tell my father, my father will agree. This is a good time for their Li family to rise.

It's just a pity that their Li family is too tight. If they can pay 3 taels of silver, they might be rewarded by the emperor.

How can someone who can become a wealthy businessman have such a narrow vision?
Even a small businessman like Mrs. Li opened his mouth, and everyone was even more excited.Who wouldn't want to have such a good name handed down from generation to generation?

They are businessmen who pay more attention to profits, but also pay more attention to reputation.They do not lack money, but they lack status and fame.

Furthermore, with a reputation, you can earn more money.

Even if Gu Chengyu set the reserve price at 1 taels, they can't care about it now.

"As long as it is more than 3 taels, I will definitely ask the emperor to reward it. Such a family of good deeds should be commended by the emperor."

Gu Chengyu threw out the temptation again, come on!If you give more money, even if the disaster relief can't be used up and it goes to the treasury, the emperor will definitely be delighted.

As for borrowing the name of the emperor, that's not a big deal.In the eyes of the emperor, I am afraid that the money is more real.

"My Wang family is also willing to pay 1 taels of silver!"

Once someone takes the lead, it's much easier to follow.Even small merchants like Li can pay 1 taels of silver, so they can't lag behind, can they?

"Our Qin family paid [-] taels!" Didn't you hear that the amount of silver should also be engraved on it?Their Qin family can't afford to spend less, and they can't afford to lose face.

In any case, there must be more than the Wang family, right?How can the Wang family be compared?

Hu Maoshen hurriedly ordered someone to record the amount of silver and the people who donated it, and these will all be engraved on the inscription in the future.

"Master Qin is so generous, I will definitely engrave your family of Qin on the front of the inscription." Gu Chengyu smiled happily, calling for more in his heart.

There were a total of fourteen wealthy businessmen, and everyone rushed to report the amount of silver they donated.

Gu Chengyu was quite satisfied with this scene, and then turned his beautiful eyes to look at Xia Hongji who was sitting silently in the banquet.

He snorted softly, this Xia family still wanted to be so beautiful that he was so beautiful.To prevent the Xia family from bleeding, I am sorry for making such a big fuss today.

Gu Chengyu then winked at Shopkeeper Zhan, and Shopkeeper Zhan followed Gu Chengyu's gaze and immediately understood.

"Cough! You all donate generously, you really are kind people. It's a pity! Some people are just rich and unkind, and their homes are rich in gold and silver, but they are like iron roosters. How about face? Or lose that face."

Shopkeeper Zhan sat opposite Xia Hongji, holding his head high, his tone and demeanor full of disdain.

Xia Hongji's face was livid with anger, this story made people itch with hatred.

It's a pity that there are many thugs in Juxiang Building, otherwise he would have tied up this person and beat him up to vent his anger.

Wasn't he thinking about how much to donate just now?They all donated, and their Xia family had to donate too, otherwise wouldn't they really become iron cocks?
It's just that when he thought of giving all the money to Gu Chengyu, Xia Hongji felt even more depressed.Give out money from your own family and make political achievements for others?
Moreover, he is also the enemy of his own chief assistant, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels aggrieved.

When Shopkeeper Zhan yelled, everyone present all turned their attention to Xia Hongji.

They had forgotten that they were so enthusiastic about donating just now, why didn't Xia Hongji respond?
Could it be that Xia Hongji really didn't intend to donate?Thinking of it this way, everyone couldn't help but feel extremely contemptuous.

Xia Hongji suddenly felt that these people looked at him strangely, and he couldn't help feeling anxious.

"Hmph! Our Xia clan is the chief assistant of the current dynasty. Although the Xia clan's business is not as good as Juxianglou's daily struggle for money. But when it comes to helping the victims, the Xia clan will naturally not back down. Let's do it! The Xia clan will come out"

Xia Hongji stretched out a hand, then raised three fingers, and just about to blurt out a number, he didn't want the shopkeeper beside him to sneer loudly when he saw this.

Everyone present here has different expressions, Xia's business has many types of business, including rice shops, silk and satin shops, restaurants, and fleets, etc.

Coupled with the rampant children of the clan, even doing business is extremely domineering!Over the years, how much business has been obtained by improper means?How much illegal money did you earn?

The Xia clan can be regarded as one of the most wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. It was often rumored that the gentlemen of the Xia clan lived a luxurious and luxurious life.

It is said that the direct branch of the Xia Mansion lived a more luxurious life, and it goes without saying that they wore gold and silver every day, even the Gong barrels that were used were all inlaid with gold and jade.

Moreover, I also heard that even Xia's ancestral halls are paved with gold bricks, but I don't know if it is true or not.

Such a rich man did not expect that he would only be willing to give 3 taels of silver for disaster relief.

I didn't see the rising star of Juxianglou, so I gave 3 taels without hesitation!
Xia Hongji's face was livid with anger, he gave Shopkeeper Zhan a hard look, and then raised his fourth finger.

The corners of Gu Chengyu's lips curled up slightly, his eyes sparkled, and he strode forward and grabbed Xia Hongji's hand.
