Chapter 480 Relief
Zhejiang Cheng announced that Hong Chengchou, the left counselor of the government, was kicked out of Hangzhou City. This was purely a whim of Wang Defa, a hundred households of Jinyiwei in the Yan Mansion, and then the power of the people severely punished those who opposed the Xue family, so as to kill chickens for monkeys. The purpose of watching, it took Wang Defa many years to realize that he was killing a tiger for chickens to watch.

It wasn't until noon that Yan Sanniang came to Zuixianlou to participate in the reception banquet held by the business community in Hangzhou under the welcome of Zhang Jiazhu, the owner of Zuixianlou, and was rescued by Xue Jiajun just after entering Zuixianlou The shareholders of the two merchant ships stopped him, and offered Yan Sanniang endless compliments, and offered a gift of 1 taels of silver.

Yan Sanniang said that Jinyiwei and Dongchang are soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and it is their duty to help the people of Ming Dynasty fight against pirates. She declined the rewards from more than a dozen shareholders of the two merchant ships, but people are so strange, the more you don't want him The more they want to give, now the dozen or so shareholders no longer feel sorry for the money, but are afraid that the gift money of 1 taels will be too small to give it out.

Yan Sanniang was persuaded by Zhang Jiazhu and others to take the chairman's seat on the second floor, and the shareholders of the merchant ship crowded around Yan Sanniang, hoping that Yan Sanniang would accept the gift money of 1 taels of silver and mess up Zhang Jiazhu and other big businessmen on the side. Seeing that Yan Sanniang still refused to accept it, the shareholders of the merchant ship rushed to express their willingness to add another 1 taels of silver as a gift.

Yan Sanniang saw that the shareholders of these merchant ships made a mistake and said: "Everyone will make a mistake. I am acting for the imperial court, so I really can't accept everyone's money."

But these merchant ship shareholders wanted Yan Sanniang to accept the money, Yan Sanniang said: "Since the masters are so kind, how about I be the master for this 1 taels of silver."

The shareholders of these merchant ships naturally agreed, and Yan Sanniang said: "I have received the friendship from the owners. There are many orphans, widows and poor people in Hangzhou. Why don't you use it to help these people? I don't know you how about."

The shareholders of the merchant ship only paused for a moment, and immediately ordered to praise Yan Sanniang's heart. It interrupted the flattery of Yan Sanniang by the shareholders of the merchant ship.

The big merchants like Master Zhang also expressed their willingness to support Yan Sanniang's charitable deeds, and they discussed it temporarily, just like Yan Sanniang reported the amount of 5 taels of silver, which made Yan Sanniang very embarrassed. The money of these merchants is not It was so easy to get, so I quickly declined.

However, Master Zhang and these big merchants insisted on giving it, so Yan Sanniang had no choice but to agree, so Yan Sanniang asked for Master Zhang's consent to invite the merchant ship shareholders to participate in the banquet, and let those merchant ship shareholders have dinner with the top rich merchants in Hangzhou City. , Those merchant shipping shareholders were a little flattered.

During the meeting, Zhang Jiazhu put forward a suggestion on behalf of Hangzhou Chenghai merchants, that is, he hoped that Yan Sanniang's sea fleet would escort Hangzhou maritime merchants, and Hangzhou maritime merchants would pay Yan Sanniang's fleet in the form of a commission or by paying money per ship. reward.

Yan Sanniang had heard about similar situations from Xue Yun, but Yan Sanniang cautiously declined. After the persuasion of many merchants in Zuixianlou Restaurant, Yan Sanniang believed that the fleet was under the imperial court's orders, and that Changtu Island The fleet has caused a lot of disturbances in Zhejiang. In the end, Yan Sanniang expressed that if the Zhejiang government supports it, the armed fleets of Jinyiwei and Dongchang are willing to contribute to the economic development of Zhejiang.

The rich merchants in Hangzhou City are very capable. That night, the head of the Zhang family went to the Yan Mansion to report that he was invited by the Zhejiang Chengxuan Political Envoy and the Procuratorial Envoy to invite Yan Sanniang’s Jinyiwei and Dongchang’s armed fleet to escort him. They all commanded the acquiescence of the Third Division, and of course these businessmen could not do without money or dry shares to open the way.

Zhang Jiazhu also said that before he came, he had received more than 700 taels of charity. The goal of the Hangzhou businessman was to raise 10 taels of silver to do good deeds for Yan Sanniang. Several of their big businessmen made up, and Yan Sanniang expressed her gratitude on behalf of the poor people in Hangzhou.

On the second day, Yan Sanniang met with Pan Ruzhen, the political envoy of Zhejiang Chengxuan, and expressed her panic over the fact that the people in Hangzhou drove away Hong Chengchou, the political secretary of Zhejiang Chengxuan, but Pan Ruzhen repeatedly stated that this matter had nothing to do with Yan Sanniang, it was entirely the people of Hangzhou It is also Hong Chengchou's own fault, and the Zhejiang Third Division will report the facts to the court according to the facts of the specific incident.

Then Yan Sanniang expressed the hope that Master Pan Ruzhen would preside over the good deeds of helping the orphans, widows and poor people in Hangzhou. The Chief Minister Pan Ruzhen accepted the honor Yan Sanniang gave herself, but declined the distribution of 10 taels of silver. Yan Sanniang He is also very good at coming, and repeatedly begged the Zhejiang government to intervene, and finally persuaded the chief minister, Pan Ruzhen, that the donation of 10 taels of silver should be given priority to purchase relief materials in the family business of the officials of the Third Division in Zhejiang.

When Yan Sanniang was about to leave, Chief Minister Pan Ruzhen hoped that Yan Sanniang would contribute more to Zhejiang's maritime economic prosperity, and that the three departments of Zhejiang would support Yan Sanniang.

The purchase of Yan Sanniang's 10 taels of silver donations made the officials of Zhejiang Third Division earn a fortune. Everyone can understand and forgive Hong Chengchou's attack on Zhejiang Chengxuan's office. Ghost, everyone can earn more money, so why not do it.

Similarly, the Nursing Home, Yuyingtang, Anjifang, Juyangyuan, Futianyuan, Louzeyuan, and scattered widows, widows, orphans, and disabled in Hangzhou City all received clothes, food, meat, and copper coins, which made the entire Hangzhou city The common people have a better impression of Yan Sanniang, which also makes Yan Sanniang's prestige in Hangzhou city unparalleled for a while.

There were beggars in Sifang Yan Sanniang who donated tens of thousands of gold and collected more than 5 silver in supplies from Hangzhou and surrounding areas for disaster relief. The people in the south of the Yangtze River are very grateful for Yan Sanniang's life-saving grace.

On July 42th, the Hangzhou Merchant Marine Fleet, as a test voyage, was ready to go at the Hangzhou Water Wharf.

Ms. Xu, the Jade Maiden Sword, said aggrievedly: "My sister is here to thank my sister for the gift of the horse. Don't mention other things, my sister doesn't want to listen."

Yan Sanniang said with a smile: "Well, we two only talk about sisterhood."

Ms. Xu, the Jade Maiden Sacred Sword, said with a faint smile, "My sister is here to thank my sister for giving me a hard-earned BMW."

Yan Sanniang put her arms around Miss Xu's fragrant shoulders and said, "My sister just brought a word, the people looking for horses have suffered a lot."

Ms. Xu said "噷" and said: "He was just talking. By the way, sister, my sister saw a bloody BMW in the suburbs of Nanjing. Its hair was almost exactly the same as my sister's. Mei Jiao Niang brought a group of maids and aunts to hunt birds."

The corners of Yan Sanniang's mouth twitched slightly when she heard this, and she quickly comforted Miss Xu and said, "Sister, the girl you mentioned knows that she is your younger brother's cousin named Xue Susu, and you have met her before."

Miss Xu said in surprise: "It turned out to be his cousin. If I didn't know her surname was Xue at the time, I wanted her to look good."

Yan Sanniang said with a smile: "Why do you feel uncomfortable when you see someone has a good horse?"

Miss Xu said coquettishly: "No, that woman has been staring at my sister, and she is also very curious about her horse. Later, my sister found out that Xue Susu did it. Forget it, let's not talk about it, why the Xue family doesn't care. "

Yan Sanniang said: "Sister, now that sister Xue has settled down, let's not mention this kind of thing in the future. This time, when my sister comes to Hangzhou City, how about staying here for a long time?"
