Chapter 98 Competition
"No, I think it's too much. With a wave of your hand, it's 10 taels. 10 taels is a sky-high price for everyone. Even Lin Ziye, your business partner, can't get so much at once. The big tree attracts the wind, let's keep a low profile."

Mu Chuqian thought about it, now that his wife's career has just started, and the emperor's policy of relaxing business has just begun.

Zeng Xiaoxiao was one of the first beneficiaries.

If he made such a shocking act all at once, it would inevitably shock the court and arouse the jealousy of villains.

"You're right. In that case, I'll donate 8 taels. The remaining [-] taels will be used to buy supplies and donated in the name of the people of the imperial city to the victims of the Yellow River disaster, so that everyone will have no objections."

"I think so too."

That's exactly what Mu Chuqian thought in his heart.

"In that case, let's do it this way."

Zeng Xiaoxiao said.

"One more thing, how do you plan to raise these silver taels?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao asked.

Having said that, Mu Chuqian frowned tightly.

"I plan to ask rich businessmen and officials who have money to donate money."

Mu Chuqian said.

"Your method is very good. The weather in Yunqi Kingdom has been good these years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. These people must have a lot of money in their hands."

Zeng Xiaoxiao said in agreement.

"It's just, haven't you considered the people in the imperial city?"

"People in the imperial city?"

"Yeah, you always want to get rich people to donate money, but have you ever thought that asking for money from those people is tantamount to pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth. Not only will it worsen your relationship with them, but it will also make your relationship worse. You have lost a lot of supporters. At that time, most of the people in the court will turn against you. Those who still support you are nothing more than some honest adults.”

Zeng Xiaoxiao's words awakened the dreamer, which shocked Mu Chuqian greatly.

He has been thinking about how to get more fundraising.

But never considered this issue.

He has even calculated in his mind how much silver taels he will ask which adults to pay.

"So, Father is examining how we handle our relationship with the officials?" Mu Chuqian asked.

"This is likely to be the case. After all, the emperor has been in power for more than 20 years. How could you two inexperienced people do this kind of disaster relief?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao said again with certainty.

"Since we can't directly ask them for money, what should we do?"

Mu Chuqian asked.

"Have you ever thought about it. Those who are officials in the court all want to make their official positions bigger and bigger. If they know that donations can make them get promoted and make money, will they donate more?"

Zeng Xiaoxiao gave Mu Chuqian a look.

"Father will not allow me to do this. He absolutely does not allow this kind of behavior of buying an official. There was an official who was like this before, and was shown by the father on the street."

Mu Chuqian looked terrified and refused repeatedly.

"What are you afraid of? We don't make promises to anyone. There is no buying and selling of official titles. You can even talk about this proposal with the emperor, and the emperor will definitely appreciate you."

"Then what do you mean?"

Mu Chuqian was a little suspicious.

He started to get confused.

"You can choose one of the people who are going to be promoted, and ask him to donate more, and then the imperial decree will come. In this way, people in the entire Yunqi Kingdom will think that it is because of his donation that the emperor asked him to be promoted."

"Then what if some people are not promoted? Isn't it very resentful?" Mu Chuqian asked.

"The emperor has not promised, so these problems do not exist."

Mu Chuqian suddenly realized, and admired Zeng Xiaoxiao even more.

"With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?"

Mu Chuqian sighed.

The two made up their minds and decided to go to the palace to meet the emperor.
Zeng Xiaoxiao continued to be busy with her own affairs.

"Qian'er, you have really grown up."

The emperor looked at Mu Chuqian with satisfaction, his face was very satisfied.

"This morning, your elder brother came here and told his thoughts. He wanted the rich businessmen to contribute. But he didn't mention the officials' donations. But you think much farther than him, It seems that I am not mistaken about you, you are worthy of the important responsibility."

"""No, I think it's too much. With a wave of your hand, it's 10 taels. 10 taels is a sky-high price for everyone. Even your business partner, Lin Ziye, can't get it all at once. There are so many. The big tree attracts the wind, let's keep a low profile."
