The blessing of the Qing Dynasty is difficult to pass

Chapter 160 Let's Donate Money Together
After pondering for a while, Yin Xiang told Yi Rao, "You don't need to worry about these things, you should play your own game. This time I came out to let you relax, not to add to your troubles."

Yi Rao curled her lips when she heard the words, and thought to herself, if you hadn't insisted on dragging me here, I wouldn't have these troubles, and now that I'm here, how can I just care about my own enjoyment. "Tomorrow, I will ask the female relatives to contribute to the disaster relief, build a porridge shed, distribute steamed buns, and contribute."

"No need." Yinxiang frowned when he heard the words, "You can play with peace of mind, besides, those officials and women may not pay money, why bother you for this." Digging out the silver is too difficult.

"Fund raising, how much can be raised, how much is it." Yi Rao insisted, not only the officials' wives, but also those wealthy businessmen's wives, they actually all have money, and the dowry of ancient women belonged to themselves. To these people, it's just a drop in the bucket, not worth mentioning.Besides, even if you don’t have to pay money, you can just take out some rice and noodles. Every dowry has a farmer’s son, and the rice, noodles, melons, fruits and vegetables handed over by these farmer’s sons are enough for charity.

"There's no need for this. I understand your kindness. It's just that this kind of thing is thankless. It's fine if you are familiar with people who are close to you. Now that you are here, and you don't know the place where you live, how can those people take your words to heart? I'm doing things for you sincerely. Be obedient and stay at the station honestly, don't make me worry about you. "

"Don't worry, I'm smart, don't worry." She wasn't really stupid.

No one knows better than Yin Xiang whether Yi Rao is stupid or not, but he is still worried about it. Yi Rao has been spoiled and raised since childhood, so how can he be relieved.He was about to speak to persuade him again, but Yi Rao hurriedly interrupted him, "If you are worried, let Zhou Qian follow. If he is here, you should be at ease, right?"

Seeing Yi Rao's insistence, Yin Xiang didn't say anything more after all, he frowned and complied.

Early the next morning, Yinxiang explained to Zhou Qian, and then went out of the city to check the disaster situation and distribute supplies.Just after Yi Rao had breakfast, the governor's wife, Mrs. Kaifeng Fuyin and several other officials' wives came over again, and they were going to take Yi Rao to tour the ancient city of Kaifeng.

Yi Rao didn't go out with them, but invited them to sit down, served good tea, and then explained her thoughts, she wanted those present who had money to pay for money, and those who didn't have money to pay for rice noodles and clothes, so as to save the victims of disasters outside the city. The people of the country do their part.

After Yi Rao's words fell, the seven or eight female family members present were stunned. No one would have thought that Yi Rao, who looked stupid and stupid, would make such a suggestion. They looked at each other, and they didn't answer. .

Yi Rao smiled slightly when she saw this, and said, "There is no fixed amount, it's just a wish. You have a dowry, hundreds of taels of silver, hundreds of stones of grain, and you can get it. This is for the common people. After returning to Beijing, I will report to the emperor, and he will Rewards, rewards to everyone."

Hearing the words of commendation, the governor's wife's eyes lit up. The governor is from the second rank. As the governor's wife, she is ordered by the second rank. She knows more about the affairs of Beijing than other people present. The person in front of her Thirteen Fujin, that is a man of influence in the capital, she has been on the cusp of public opinion since she was a child, and the Empress Dowager and Kangxi love her very much, she was named Gushan Gege at a young age, which is the only one in the entire capital.

Everyone recognized that Yi Rao could speak in front of the Empress Dowager Kangxi. Hearing what Yi Rao said at this time, the governor's wife's thoughts immediately became alive. But if he could show his name in front of the Empress Dowager Kangxi through this, it would be a piece of cake from the sky.

Thinking of this, the governor's wife immediately laughed and said, "Fu Jin's words are very true. Hundreds of taels of silver are nothing to us people, but to the suffering people, they are life-saving silver. If you pay, you must pay for this silver. I will pay you 500 taels." Two silver taels, five hundred shi of grain, and old clothes that are not worn by the mansion are also donated and distributed to the victims."

After hearing the governor's wife's words, Yi Rao narrowed her eyes with a smile. Sure enough, Kangxi was good at it. Once Kangxi was moved out, the governor's wife didn't even say a word of excuse. "I paid 600 taels. When I left Beijing this time, I brought less money, but I could still buy a lot of food."

Madam Yin of Kaifeng's gift to Yi Rao failed yesterday, seeing that the governor's wife and Yi Rao had said so, she hurriedly said, "I also gave 500 taels of silver, [-] shi of grain, and the old clothes at home. Come out, today we will go outside the city to build porridge sheds and distribute steamed buns."

The three people with the highest status in the room spoke, and the people below also spoke one after another. Some of them gave 200 taels less, some gave 500 taels more, and some food and clothing. The smile on Yi Rao's face became more sincere.

"Fu Jin, let me tell you, not only the women's family members of officials, but also the women's family members of wealthy businessmen should contribute some money. Compared with those who do business, the money we contribute is nothing at all. Those people are the big ones." See Yi Rao Laughing cheerfully, the governor's wife couldn't help but suggested again, "Why don't you invite all the wives of merchants in the city to come here, and let them do their part for the common people."

Yi Rao pondered for a while when she heard the words, and said, "Please, how much you can donate, how much, it's always your heart, make a list, and when the time comes back to Beijing, I will hand it over to the emperor." What Kangxi will do at that time is beyond her control.

Sure enough, upon hearing Yi Rao's words, the smile on the governor's wife's face became much more sincere. Yi Rao is known for being honest and stupid, and now she has made an order. They really can show their names in front of Kangxi.

Not only the governor's wife thought so, but all the other ladies here also thought the same way. Inspired by this rare benefit, they acted very sloppily, and immediately said goodbye to Yi Rao, went home to get money and leave the post.

In the event of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the government has to ask local officials and wealthy businessmen to donate. Most of these people don’t want to donate. Even if they donate, they only donate a little. However, the rich businessman said that business is not easy to do, he has to manage up and down, and there are risks.Yi Rao also knew this, so she didn't let Yinxiang come forward to ask those officials and rich businessmen to donate, but she came forward to attack the female relatives of these officials and rich businessmen, using Kangxi to lure them.

Those officials and wealthy businessmen can cry about being poor, but these female family members can't say the same. No matter how much their dowry is, they all have land and shops, and they can always get money or materials. At that time, pass the list to Kangxi, and let Kangxi know that women can also do something practical for the people.

These women and daoists, who have encountered such a thing, can show their fame in front of Kangxi with a small amount of money, they are naturally extremely happy.
