Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

Chapter 109 Charitable Contributions

After hearing Ying Zheng's will, many grain merchants were a little confused, so they gathered together again.

"Grand Chu, you suggested the gift of money before, you can see now, what does Your Majesty mean by that?"

Everyone looked at Chu Qiu one after another, asking about his plan, can the money be given away?
"It seems that His Majesty can't wait to get the money. Isn't this a good thing for us?"

Chu Qiu sneered, these idiots know nothing.

Half the profit is indeed not a small amount, but for them, it is definitely worth paying the money.

Not only won the favor of Ying Zheng, but also dragged him into the water by the way, blocking the anger of the Guizhou leaders for them.

Having said that, of course Chu Qiu will not forget to win over these grain merchants

"Don't worry, His Majesty clearly acquiesces to our terms, we pay half of the profit, and he doesn't interfere with the price of grain. As for why he wants it in advance, it doesn't matter!"

"What does Duke Chu mean, we send the money over?"

"That's right, not only do you want to give it away, but you also need to give it more, and it's very grand!"

Chu Qiu said with a sneer.

At this time, no matter how stupid the businessmen present were, they knew that Chu Qiu's mind was definitely not that simple.

But what's the matter?Anyway, Chu Qiu and them are on the same front, and they will definitely not deceive themselves.

On that day, many grain merchants in Xianyang City pooled up a large sum of money and sent it to Xianyang Palace.

In the name of the outside world, it is naturally a charitable donation to contribute to Daqin.

As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the city.

In particular, when Chu Qiu and the others were sending money, they beat gongs and drums in a very grand manner, and the whole Xianyang City knew the news.

At this moment, Chu Qiu had not concealed his thoughts at all.

Even if Yingzheng saw it, it was useless, because the news had already spread. Regardless of whether Yingzheng took the money or not, in the eyes of the leaders of Guizhou, he and these grain merchants were all in the same group.

……

"Your Majesty, this money cannot be collected. These grain merchants clearly want to use this to frame His Majesty in an unjust place!"

After hearing the news, Wang Wan, Feng Quji and others from Xianyang Palace hurried over, trying to persuade Ying Zheng not to take money.

However, what they didn't know was that Ying Zheng already had a way to deal with it. The money, those grain merchants, could only be given to him for nothing.

"My dear friends, don't be anxious. I have already made plans. The money must be collected. As for how to pass it on to the outside world, let them pass it on!"

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said something to everyone.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed! If you collect the money, in front of outsiders, won't you become a gang with those grain merchants?"

Wang Wan didn't care about the bet with Ying Zheng at the moment, after all, Ying Zheng's reputation was also very important.

If this matter is not handled properly, the turmoil it can cause will definitely not be small.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. It doesn't matter whether His Majesty takes the money or not. As long as the price of grain can drop, the money can naturally be collected."

Zhao Shu stepped forward to explain something for Ying Zheng.

"Food prices have fallen, how is this possible?"

Wang Wan was a little annoyed, maybe he was the one who spoke for Ying Zheng last time, he really believed it, right?

Now there is only one day left before the March period, and Ying Zheng didn't do anything at all.

It's not right, Ying Zheng sent Meng Yi out before, but no one knew exactly what Meng Yi did.

"Prince Wang, if His Majesty is not absolutely sure, how could he accept the money so confidently? What's more, those merchants have spread the news all over Xianyang City, and now His Majesty refuses to accept it. Come, it’s just to avoid suspicion!”

"But if you accept this money, even if the price of grain really can't fall, won't your Majesty's money finally buy more grain for the heads of Guizhou for the winter?"

Zhao Shu knew that he couldn't convince Wang Wan, so he simply explained to him from a different angle.

"Can……"

Hearing this, Wang Wan was silent for a long time, he knew that what Zhao Shu said was right.

Yingzheng is now yellow mud falling into his crotch, and it is shit if it is not shit.

That being the case, why not simply take the money and make up for some losses, right?
I believe that as long as Yingzheng is willing to use the money to buy food for the winter in Guishou, his reputation will not suffer too much loss by then.

"Since His Majesty has made a decision, I will not say any more, but I hope His Majesty will keep his promise and use the grain in the treasury for disaster relief tomorrow!"

Wang Wan said to Ying Zheng, and then said goodbye!

Ying Zheng didn't bother to talk to Wang Wan at the moment, anyway, everything will be decided tomorrow.

"Zhao Qing, go get someone to receive the money, remember to check it out, and write down the person who sent the most money!"

"Here!"

Zhao Shu got the order, saluted immediately and retreated.

Ying Zheng wanted to remember those who gave the most money, not to praise them, but to blacklist them.

After all, the more money you send, the more food this person has hoarded.

These people are not good people, and when Ying Zheng runs out of using them, he will entertain them well.

Regarding Ying Zheng's move, everyone in Xianyang City behaved differently.

People who know the inside story, such as Zhao Shu, Wang Jian and others, naturally agree with Ying Zheng's move.

But others thought Ying Zheng's move was a little too fatuous.

And those Guizhou chiefs at the bottom have the biggest opinions.

"Tyrant, indeed a tyrant, for such a small benefit, he doesn't care about the life and death of us Guizhou leaders!"

"Hmph, as I said earlier, it is impossible for the tyrant to be so kind-hearted. Sure enough, he did it on purpose for us to see."

"The price of food has risen so high now, how can we survive the winter?"

The heads of Guizhou at the bottom level complained, and the grain merchants and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms who had been thinking about rebellion were happy to hear about it, and they even wanted to throw a big banquet to celebrate it.
