The fund-raising banquet held by Yuchen raised 59600 taels of silver and two boxes of gold and silver jewelry. It's estimated that these jewelry will sell for 8000 Liang.

The jade Chen is tired to paralyze on the chair, say: "also not calculate white busy one." Seventy or seventy thousand taels of silver, more or less.

Mother GUI said, "the one who donated the least this time was Xiao's wife of general tie. She only donated 1000 liang of silver." She's really stingy. She doesn't like it.

Yu Chen was more impressed by Xiao: "I remember that she donated two sets of jewelry besides one thousand taels of silver, one of which seemed to be the head of a emerald. These two sets of jewelry are worth three or four thousand silver. " Xiao is also bleeding this time, she is not generous, mainly do not want to lose tie Kui's face.

Mother GUI said, "who in the capital doesn't know that Dasheng shops are making money every day! Even now, Dasheng's grain shop has to sell thousands of Jin of grain every day Now the price of grain is one price a day. But I want them to donate, but I'm stingy to donate 1000 Liang.

Yu Chen said: "it's tie Kui, not Xiao, who is the master of the country."

Hearing this, mother GUI said: "I heard that the emperor asked tie Kui to settle the refugees. He was very dissatisfied. Maybe that's why he doesn't want to donate. "

Yuchen said: "we can't intervene in the affairs of the former dynasty. After sorting out the accounts, he will send the silver, gold and silver jewelry and the account book to Mr. Meng. " Yan Wushuang has asked Mr. Meng to deal with this matter, so all the money raised is also given to him.

At the court meeting the next day, all the civil and military officials arrived. Without waiting for Yan Wushuang to speak, several ministers all stood up and said that they were willing to do something for the victims.

Yan Wushuang was very satisfied and praised the noble character of several Shangshu adults.

Among the generals, Su Shan was the first to say, "the emperor, my ministers are willing to donate 10000 liang of silver."

With the leaders, others have come forward. Some give three thousand, others five thousand. In any case, men's handwriting is bigger than women's.

Gao Dongnan gently pushed down tie Kui, who was lost in thought. He also has a share in Dasheng shop. He doesn't have much to look at, but he gets a lot of profits every year. This donation must not be less. But he's not going to cross tie Kui. Now tie Kui doesn't make a statement, and it's hard for him to speak.

Tie Kui looked as if he had recovered. Then he stood up and said, "I'm willing to donate 50000 taels of silver." Fifty thousand taels of silver is a big deal.

Seeing this, Mr. Gao said he was willing to donate 30000 taels of silver. In addition, Shen Honghua, a general who participated in Dasheng shop, also said he was willing to donate 30000 taels of silver.

Yan Wushuang raised much more money than Yuchen, with a total of 368000 taels of silver.

Next, it's folk fund-raising. The real rich are the rich and businessmen.

It's hard for Yuxi to know that the donation in the capital is so big. Yu Xi fell into a deep thought, after a while, he said, "it's a good idea to raise money."

Yu Zhi said, "does the princess want to imitate Yan Wushuang?"

Yuxi listen to this tone is not right, asked: "how? Don't you think it's good? "

Yu Zhi shook his head and said, "no, it's just a little awkward." I feel like I'm acting behind Yan Wushuang's ass.

Yuxi said: "as long as it's good, it's no shame to follow." The reason why Yuxi didn't want to donate money is also related to his temperament. She insists that everything depends on her own, not on others, so she doesn't think about it. As for the ministers below, they think that the government can settle these refugees with its ability, so no one put forward this proposal.

As Yan Wushuang said, although all of them suffered disaster, Yuxi's situation was much better than that of him. It is not only because the harvests in Jiangnan and Northwest China are not bad, but most importantly, most people in these areas have surplus grain in their hands. Although they don't have much food, it's OK for them to eat it for two or three months. With grain in hand, the government posted a notice as soon as possible saying that the government would provide disaster relief. Of course, the people would not leave their homes. In Hebei and Shandong under Yan Wushuang's rule, the common people had no next meal. The harvest is gone again. In order to survive, we will leave our hometown.

Yu Zhi lowered his head and said, "I am narrow-minded."

After thinking about it, Yuxi sent for Lu Xiu. See Lu Xiu, Yuxi will she want to let people donate ideas said.

Lu Xiu had experienced such a thing in the capital before, but didn't feel anything: "princess, it's better to let the second princess take charge of it, and I'll help you." In fact, Lu Xiu wants to give Liu er the chance to be in the limelight. And liu'er represents Yuxi's meaning, more people will buy it.

Yuxi who can not know Lu Xiu's meaning, said with a smile: "ask Liu er's meaning, if she does not object, I have no opinion." This is a good thing of jishande. How can she stop it!

After Liu Er knew about it, naturally a hundred of them would like to. But she was a little worried. She always managed the affairs of the government, but she never did such a big thing: "mother, aunt, I'm afraid I can't do it well."

Yuxi said with a smile: "what can't be done well is to hold a banquet, just one more donation project."

Lu xiudao: "don't worry, princess. When you do it, you will find it's not difficult." As Yuxi said, it's actually holding a banquet.

Liu Er asked, "mother, is this fundraising banquet held in the palace?" For example, Yuchen often holds banquets in the imperial palace. However, Yuxi was very busy, and there was no banquet in the palace.

Liu er's fund-raising banquet is not good-looking if she goes to Han Fu. Yuxi nodded and said, "the banquet will be held in the palace. But I'll be very busy these days, but your aunt will help you

When liu'er heard that Lu Xiu would help her, she felt at ease: "OK. Niang, that post was sent in the name of Wang Fu? "

Yuxi said: "in the name of the palace."

Meilan came in and said, "princess, Mr. Tan, is waiting outside the study."

Liu Er says: "Niang, you go busy!" Liu'er knows that Yuxi has been very busy in dealing with the disaster relief and post-war affairs.

After Yuxi talks with Tan Tuo, she calls Xu Wu in and tells Liu Er about her plan to raise money.

Xu Wu said: "princess, are you going to follow Yan Wushuang's example, and are you going to ask officials to donate money to help the victims?"

Yuxi said with a smile: "officials are paid. They have to support their families. They are not rich. It's their intention that they are willing to donate. If they ask for it, they will lose their original intention. " The officials in the Northwest were honest and clear, and they didn't have much money. It's uncomfortable for anyone to donate two more.

Xu Wu nodded his head and said, "that's the reason. Princess, I think the big head should be on those merchants. These are the people who have the money. "

Yuxi said with a smile, "you're right. These businessmen are rich owners. I've written to my elder brother and asked him to help raise money. "

Hearing this, Xu Wu said with a smile: "there are many rich people there. As long as they operate properly, they should be able to raise a large sum of money."

Yuxi said: "hope!" It's too early to say that we haven't got the money.

Yuxi was too busy to move in the middle of the night, so he fell asleep on the bed.

Full mammy got the news to come in, looking at Yuxi sleep sweet, also don't have the heart to wake her up. Just ordered a few servant girls to make hot water to come over, she helped Yu Xi wash face and feet personally, wiped hands again, then covered quilt for her, this just went out.

Jingbai said: "Mammy, please advise the princess! If it goes on like this, I'm afraid she'll be tired. "

Mother Quan shook her head and said, "I can't persuade you about this. I can't persuade you." Thousands of lives are at stake. She can't make it. Moreover, Yuxi is full of pity for these people. It's useless to persuade her.

Liu er's action is still very fast, the next day will post sent out. Different from the objects invited by Yuchen, Liu Er invited not only the family members of civil and military officials, but also the family members of the top 20 rich families in Ho City. Wu family's reputation is not only there, but also among them.

Wu Jinbao's wife, Xiao Fang, took this post and said to Fang: "Niang, the second princess wants us to donate money. How much should we donate?" Fang was ill some time ago, but now Xiao Fang is taking care of the common affairs.

Fang was silent and asked, "how much do you think you should donate?" In fact, after she heard about the huge sum of money that Wu's family had handed in, she felt that her eldest daughter-in-law's attitude had changed.

Xiao Fang thought it over and said, "Niang, three or five thousand taels should be about the same." Although her father-in-law can make money, but also spend a lot of money! Xiao Fang thinks that a donation of 35002 is enough. You know, the cost of an ordinary family in Ho City is only three or five Liang silver a month.

Fang sighed in his heart and said, "our Wu family is a well-off family in Ho City. Now we have to raise money. We only donate 35000 taels. What do you think of it?"

Xiao Fang said without even thinking about it: "close the door and live your own life, no matter what other people think or say?"

Fang said, "you're right. It doesn't matter what other people think or say. But have you ever thought about what the princess would think of the Wu family in the future? " That's what matters most.

Xiao Fang said, "Niang, we have already handed in tens of millions of silver. Can't she even let go of our present family capital?"

Fang looked at Xiao Fang very disappointed, said: "even if the princess sent someone to copy the Wu family, what can you do?"

Xiao Fang's face turned white. She didn't think about it. But soon, Xiao Fang said, "mother, I don't think so. We just didn't want to donate money, so she sent someone to make a house search. What do people think? What's more, the second brother has an engagement with the princess! "

Fang said: "over the years, many families have been destroyed by the princess. Or do you forget the fate of your sister-in-law's family and your brother-in-law's family so soon? " Xiao Fang's sister-in-law's family and brother-in-law's family are all official families, and they have been destroyed by copying their families. The Fang family was also involved. Wu Kuo helped mediate for the sake of his in laws. The Fang family turned in all their wealth, which saved them.

Xiao Fang lowered his head.

Fang sighed: "I know you have resentment in your heart, but don't you think that I can't help myself with your father-in-law? Or are you complaining that we only planned for Jinyu, but didn't let Jinbao benefit from it? "

This is the heart of Xiao Fang. Every time she thought that only her brother-in-law would get a low price when they turned in so much money, but their husband and wife didn't get a share of the profits, she was very upset.

In my heart, I can't show it on my face, and I dare not admit it. Xiao Fang said, "isn't that what my mother said poking my heart? Jinbao and Jinyu are brothers who break the bones and connect the tendons. No matter who they are, they are the same. "

Fang sighed and said, "believe it or not, Jinyu is the princess's favorite. This marriage was not decided by the princess to make up for the Wu family. "

If Xiao Fang believed it, his mind would not be hard to settle. Moreover, even if my uncle is really in the eye of the princess. But if not, how could the princess make up for the Wu family after donating so much money. But now because of this marriage, except that my uncle will marry the princess in the future, I don't get any other benefits.

Fang Shi looked at Xiao Fang Shi's appearance, and knew that she had not paid attention to her words at all. She felt very tired at the moment. Waving his hand, Fang said, "you don't have to worry about the donation. I'll attend in person."

Xiao Fang was a little worried and said, "grandma, you are still ill. How can you go to the party?" This time, I went to the official wives and ladies who can count. She also wants to go to the party and get to know more of these people.

Fang waved his hand and said, "you don't have to say it. I've made up my mind." Fang Shi also wanted to say, Fang Shi waved his hand and said: "go down, I want to rest."

After Xiao Fang went out, Fang said in a low voice: "fortunately, Jin Yu decided to be the princess." Jinyu's temperament has always worried her, so she always hopes that her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law will follow him. This is also the reason why she was willing to let her eldest son marry Xiao Fang. After all, Xiao Fang is also Jinyu's cousin. She takes care of Jinyu in her blood, but she doesn't expect that she thinks everything very well.

As Fang's confidant, he's mother can't know what she thinks: "madam, the eldest grandmother is young and has little experience. She doesn't know the depth of this. When she knows, she won't think like this." The second master married the princess. As his brother, the second master will certainly benefit. It's a pity that Granny can't figure that out.

Fang shook his head and said, "you don't have to shirk for her. I know her temperament very well In the past, I went home a few times and saw the good side of Xiao Fang. In addition to my selfishness and trust in my elder brother and sister-in-law, I agreed to this marriage. But when she got home, she found that Xiao Fang was smart and capable, but she took her personal interests too seriously.

Thinking about zaozao's temperament, Fang said: "fortunately, the identity of the big princess is valuable, and Xiao Qian doesn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the big princess." The main reason is that she knows that jujube temperament can support things, and Fang Xi can't show her sister-in-law's spectrum in front of her.
