Raiders of peasant girls

Chapter 298 Who Donated the Most

In the end, I had no choice what to do. I borrowed it from other governments and asked other governments to borrow it. It took three years to repay the loan.But if you borrow it, you have to pay it back. Well, when you can finally collect taxes, in addition to paying the court, and then go out to the annual budget of the entire government, there is not much left, and then prepare to pay back the debt. That is three years.

And Lin'an Mansion has only collected taxes for three years since the flood, and the surplus money has already paid off the debt, so at this time, it is really impossible to use the surplus money to resettle the hundreds of victims.

"Master Ming, go back and explain the reason in front of the lord." Seeing that he didn't speak, Jingyao thought it was because he felt that he was just a princess and was not qualified to know about the affairs of the government office, so she didn't ask any more questions.It's just that he refused to resettle the victims, so he had to give an explanation anyway.

Master Ming naturally knew this too, and said with a bitter face, "I will plead guilty to the lord!"

It was at this time that Xiaoyue came back from the ladies.

"Princess, the maidservant is back!" Xiaoyue also held a piece of white rice paper in her hand.

"How? What do you ladies say?"

Xiaoyue laughed before saying anything, "Princess, with the prince and you as an example, ladies are naturally willing to contribute to the people. Look, this is the record of the amount of silver donated by each lady. Below are the signatures of all the young ladies." Jingyao took a look at the paper handed over by Xiaoyue, and sure enough there were signatures of all the young ladies, but she couldn't help being happy when she saw the money donated on it.

To be honest, it was really a temporary idea for her to ask those people to donate money, and of course the ones she donated were also temporary.She didn't know that there would be these victims, so she naturally wouldn't plan ahead.

She was happy that these young ladies were really rich, and the lowest donation was actually 1000 taels, and the 1000 taels were donated by Mrs. Ming's daughter.

She looked at the adults and daughters who spoke poorly yesterday, and each of them donated several thousand taels.

"Princess, Miss Lu Baoshan even asked her if she donated the most!"

Seeing Jingyao smiling when she saw the list, Xiaoyue also knew that her princess was in a good mood, and she was a little funny when she thought of what Miss Lu asked just now.When she said this, Jing Yao also laughed, her last words just now were just a casual remark, hoping to get some more money.It seems to be quite effective now, and these young ladies are not letting go of a chance.But it is also true, the emperor may not know who donated the most, but Helian Fenghua who is in Fucheng must know that if the donation is large enough to attract the attention of the prince, then it is cost-effective to spend some money.

This is the reluctance to let the child not be caught by the wolf!It's just that these people are really rich, and those who have money make her suspect that if the Lin'an government office really has no money, then these people will be greedy for the money.

And she also read it, except for Lu Baoshan and Li Yunjin because their mother's family was rich, the rest were not obvious in her impression.Now they are willing to take out these, which shows that the family is rich.It's just that an official's salary is nothing more than a little salary. I'm afraid the thousands of dollars of silver have yet to be considered.

She glanced at the list again, and said calmly, "Go and tell Ms. Lu, among them, Ms. Li Yunjin donated the most, donating 7000 taels."

"Oh, servant girl, let's go!"

"Wait a minute" Jingyao called Xiaoyue to stop again, and said with a faint smile, "Go and tell the ladies of each mansion that you happened to encounter such a thing today, and you won't be able to play in the afternoon. When I have time some other day, I will host a banquet in person and invite all the ladies to come over. And today, I would like to thank you all for your efforts in relocating the common people. By the way, let all the ladies go back to the mansion first to prepare the money, and then someone will come to collect the donation .”

"Yes, this servant is calling to go," Xiaoyue responded and left.

Seeing Xiaoyue go to pass on the message, Jingyao snorted coldly in her heart, she was just a stroke of genius, she did not expect to have such gains.

At this time, Master Ming stood aside, his heart was rolling, the prince must know about today's matter, and those who waited for him next did not know what the result would be.On the other hand, he was very happy. He didn't expect that the prince and princess would donate 3 taels of silver at once, and the most important thing was that she was able to get those ladies to donate some silver as well.He knew those young ladies, he often heard his own daughters talk about them, they were not good enough to compare with each other, and they were also very proud.At this time, I heard that a grassroots princess can donate 1 taels, so those of them who claim to be officials' daughters will not donate less. have to donate.

Besides, those families can definitely get the money out, but if they can't get it out, they grit their teeth and give it away for the sake of face.Okay, okay, now there is money to resettle the victims, and it solves a big problem for him.

"Master Ming, you take this list, and ask someone to press it to get the silver. As for the princess and Prince Ning, I will send someone later." Jing Yao casually handed over the list that was recorded just now. I gave it to Master Ming.

Master Ming took it respectfully, "Thank you, princess and all the young ladies, for your help to solve the predicament of the government office! The next official will definitely settle these people from the northwest properly."

"Princess, this is 500 taels of silver!" At this moment, Miao Cuilan squeezed in from the crowd with a few silver bills.

It turned out that Jingyao asked Miao Cuilan to return the jewelry when she just walked out of the Mingcui Building, this is the money that Li Yunjin paid, how could she ask for it?But if Li Yunjin was not allowed to pay the money at that time, it would not be in line with her original intention of coming out today.So she thought about returning this thing, and exchanged all the silver for food for those beggars.It's just that I didn't expect to encounter this crop, which was just right.

Jingyao took the bank note and gave it to Master Ming in the same way, "This is 500 taels of silver note. Just now Miss Li Jia gave me the jewelry that the princess gave me, but the princess returned it. You take it to resettle these victims!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Master Ming didn't know what to say, more than 4000 taels of silver, plus the previous 1 taels, how could this princess be so generous?And isn't the princess from Lingnan?I heard that she was a criminal before, but I didn't expect her family to be so rich.

Master Ming took the bank note with all sorts of speculations in his mind.

Jingyao didn't know about Lord Ming's speculations, but she thought of some hidden worries, and then said, "Master Ming, today's total is 500 taels of silver, and it is definitely enough to accommodate these victims. They have hands and feet, and you only need to arrange their houses and allocate land for them to distribute seeds."

"Yes, the officer will take care of this matter properly!"

"Of course you have to handle it well. If you let the princess know that there is one thing that is useless to the victims of the 6 taels of silver, hum!"

　I came back late from going out, so the update is late, sorry!
