The blessing of the Qing Dynasty is difficult to pass

Chapter 335 It's time to donate money again!

"That's it. He's a prince. The mountain is high here and the emperor is far away. Of course he's living a happy life." Knowing the situation of the officials and clan in court, Yinxiang didn't bother to criticize Prince Duan, it has been more than [-] years since Huang Taiji established the Qing Dynasty. The children of the Eight Banners are slowly degenerating. Yinxiang understands the general trend of the feudal dynasty from prosperity at the beginning to decay and extinction, but he is powerless to change it.

Seeing Yinxiang's pale face, Yirao was no longer in the mood to condemn her, so she took the initiative to change the subject, "By the way, I met Prince Duan's daughter, Xinyue Gege, at Prince Duan's mansion today. Some of her words were emphatic and Bai Yin Shuang is very similar." Yi Rao endured nausea and repeated Xin Yue's words, there was no way, Bai Yinshuang had caused too many sequelae, and now she felt dizzy seeing a weak woman like a little white flower.

Yinxiang was even more dizzy. His disgust towards Bai Yinshuang was beyond Yi Rao's imagination. If he knew that the consequences of Bai Yinshuang were so serious, he should have strangled her to death when he first met her, so as not to worry about her. A series of bad things followed.

Yin Xiang's face was extremely bad, and he told Yi Rao, "Stay far away from that crescent moon. From tomorrow onwards, you will call the officials, wealthy businessmen and women in Jingzhou City to collect donations, and focus on the victims." This will save you all day long. I was thinking about it, but Yinxiang didn't say this sentence.

Yi Rao nodded, she also had the same intention, Kangxi let her relax nominally, but as a person with conscience and sympathy, how could she ignore the disaster victims outside the city and just have fun, Ming Knowing that she cares about the disaster victims, did Kangxi let her relax or add trouble to her?

After complaining about Kangxi in her heart, Yi Rao discussed with Yin Xiang about the specific operations for tomorrow. She had the experience of disaster relief in Henan last time, so Yin Xiang told Yi Rao to do everything according to the last time, and told her not to be casual. Going out of the city, the disaster situation and public grievances in Jingzhou are much more serious than those in Henan, and he is worried that Yirao will have an accident.

In the early morning of the next day, Yilao invited all the local officials' wives and wealthy businessmen's wives from Jingzhou. She only smiled and exchanged greetings with all the wives, and then asked Lulu to praise and commend the last disaster relief in Henan Talk about it.The people present were not stupid, and they were all very interested in Kangxi's commendation. After Lulu finished speaking, they all expressed their willingness to donate money to help the victims.

What Yi Rao wants is this result, she smiled and said, "The rich donate money, and the rich donate things, no matter how much, it's all from the heart, the victims will be grateful, the emperor will praise, it's really rare, a rare happy event."

Yi Rao's words were echoed by the female relatives present. They nodded vigorously and almost applauded. Isn't that the reason? Cleaning up the old things that are not needed at home can win a good name and even show it in front of Kangxi. Good thing.

They are all rich people, and they don't lack those few silver coins!
After saying a few words of encouragement, Yirao ordered someone to set up a table on the spot, and then asked Liuliu and Lulu to record the amount of donations from the female relatives. Like last time, the female relatives of officials were separated from the female relatives of rich businessmen, and ranked from high to bottom. The No.1 will definitely be rewarded by Kangxi.

The first person who excitedly stepped forward to donate was Prince Duan's wife Fujin Zhang. Although she was only a concubine, she was the prince's concubine, and her status was definitely higher than that of the local officials' wives in Jingzhou. Therefore, at this time, she was the first person who donated.

Mrs. Zhang can read and write. Instead of letting Liuliu and Lulu do it, she wrote down "5000 liang of silver, [-] shi of grain, and a number of old clothes and bedding". Beautiful, much more pleasing to the eye than Yi Rao's handwriting that looks like a dog crawling.

Yi Rao smiled and praised Zhang's handwriting for being good, and her heart was good, and she gave generously, but she was muttering in her heart that Zhang's donation was small. Back then in Henan, the wife of the governor gave 1 taels of silver and [-] shi The amount of food is twice as much as that of the Zhang family. Now that the Zhang family has the highest status, who would dare to go past her? In this way, the money and food donated this time must be less than the last time...

Mrs. Zhang didn't know what Yi Rao was thinking. Just now Yi Rao didn't say how much money she raised last time. She thought that 5000 taels was enough. In this day and age, four or five taels of silver is enough for a household of four or five. The family chews for a year, and these 5000 taels can really do a lot of things!

In fact, Mrs. Zhang is very rich. Prince Duan Fujin is in poor health and doesn't care much. She helps Prince Duan manage the affairs of Prince Duan's mansion. After Prince Duan Fujin's death, she completely controls the power of Prince Duan's mansion. Overtly and secretly, the annual income of silver alone is tens of thousands of taels, and a mere 5000 taels of silver is nothing to her, but she has not reported this matter to Prince Duan, and it is not easy for a woman to control it, so First donated 5000 taels.

If Yi Rao spoke again, of course she would not hesitate to pay for it again. She has the highest status among female family members in Jingzhou, so she must not be overwhelmed by others.

Mrs. Zhang chatted with Yi Rao for a few words, and then they left and went back to the house to get the cash. You can't just write without taking the money, everyone is watching.

When Mrs. Zhang went back to the mansion to collect money to pack her things, Xinyue ran over to her and asked her why Yi Rao was looking for her. Yi Rao only invited women with dowry, and she didn't invite women who hadn't left the court for a month, only a few months or two. Yinzi's girl, that's why Xinyue asked this question.

Seeing Xinyue, Zhang's eyes lit up, she hurriedly explained the cause of the incident, and asked Xinyue if she would also donate some money to help the victims, worrying that Xinyue would not be ashamed in her pocket. Xinyue showed her face in front of Yiluo, and Mrs. Zhang also hinted that the mansion would help Xinyue pay the money.

She discussed with Prince Duan last night, let Xinyue and Yirao get to know each other first, and then raise this matter with Yirao when Yirao likes Xinyue and finds a suitable time, Xinyue has a kind and generous personality, He won't compete with Yi Rao for favor and pose a threat to Yi Rao. I think Yi Rao will agree to this matter. Having an in-law of the prince will also be of great help to Yinxiang.

I have to sigh, it’s not common to have a clear head, but it’s rare to have a strange one. Whoever has a good head will agree to a concubine whose status is higher than his own to enter the door and fight for a man with himself. Isn’t this making things difficult for himself or even killing himself? , I am a weirdo and think that others are just as weird as myself. This is the brain circuit of the prince and Zhang, which ordinary people really can't understand.

As soon as Xinyue heard that she wanted to donate money and things for the victims, she immediately raised her hands in favor. She has a pure and kind personality, and she is always willing to do good deeds. Hearing that there are such good deeds, how could she not participate.

Xinyue is not stupid, she understood Mrs. Zhang's meaning, she dug out her private money, took the 3000 taels given by Mrs. Zhang, packed some old clothes, and then went to the post station with Mrs. Zhang in a carriage .
