Reborn with super powers: The general wants to repay his kindness

Chapter 327 Anqing County Lord’s Righteousness

Yu Cheng thought for a while and said: "Then we will mobilize more people to donate money. The Liuli Workshop under my name will take the lead. For merchants who are willing to donate money with us, I will give priority to selecting the next batch of partners for the Liuli Shop."

She knew that this was the good intention of the sixth prince and Shang Yilan. When the third prince went to Jiangnan before, he transported a batch of silver and food there, but the disaster there was still serious, making people wonder how much of it was actually implemented. But now When it was Lu Yanzhao's turn to clean up the mess, he was not so rich. Even food and medicinal materials needed to be collected by Lu Yanzhao along the way.

The third prince bought people's hearts in Jiangnan and sold a lot of good people to those high-ranking noble families, so that he could be praised by those people.Now Lu Yanzhao did not give them benefits in the past, but would instead take profits from them, which would definitely cause a lot of obstacles.

Li Internal Supervisor, who stayed in Tongzhou, will cooperate with Lu Yanzhao, but whether the food on Zhuangzi is enough to deal with it or not, the subsequent replenishment of supplies is even more important.

The business of the Liuli Workshop is very prosperous. If it were not for the obstruction of the Dingguo Hou Mansion, there would probably be many people looking for trouble.And Yu Cheng could feel that not only others, but even the emperor seemed to have sent people to spy on him.Although Yu Cheng did not think that the emperor was envious of the money earned by the workshop, he also understood that the emperor was also guarding against her and Lu Yanzhao.

Now I just took this opportunity to spread some money and show it to the emperor, which was regarded as "loyalty".

The Sixth Prince and Shang Yilan looked at each other, still not understanding what Yu Cheng was thinking. Shang Yilan immediately said: "Okay, in addition to the people in the tavern, I will also donate a sum of money in the name of the Shang family. I believe that for everyone Sister Cheng, there will be many merchants willing to follow your glaze workshop, not only to earn a lot of fame, but also to take advantage of your opportunity."

Yu Cheng smiled: "Then you'll have to work hard to organize it."

The sixth prince wanted to take over everything, but his status as a prince restricted him from doing whatever he wanted, so Shang Yilan quickly became busy.

The people in Beijing knew that the epidemic could not enter the capital due to the many barriers, so not many people really cared about the disaster in Jiangnan.But some people who have relatives and friends in Jiangnan, while worrying about whether something will happen to them, are also concerned about the disaster in Jiangnan.

At this time, they heard that the Marquis of Dingguo and Yu Cheng, the head of Anqing County, had donated 10 taels of silver for disaster relief. The Sixth Prince and the Young Master of the Shang Family also cooperated with the Liuli Workshop and some merchants responded with thousands of taels. Or tens of thousands of taels, all of which were used for disaster relief in Jiangnan.

After Emperor Changde learned about it, he praised the righteousness of the Anqing County Lord at the court meeting.

In this way, not only did a group of merchants quickly mobilize to donate money, but many powerful families also participated. In just a few days, a large amount of money was quickly raised, which greatly eased the pressure on the court in providing disaster relief money.

But not many people knew that before that, Yu Cheng had asked Li Naijian to use the silver taels obtained from ransacking the house and the grain hoarded in the village to help the victims in the name of the queen. Adding all up, the silver she gave up alone was worth The entire family fortune of some wealthy people, is this a country girl who just came to the capital and was looked down upon by those powerful people?

Some people praised Yu Cheng's righteous deeds, while some envious people made slanderous remarks.

"It seems like her glaze workshop can really make money. She has been able to earn 10 taels of silver just a short time since she came to the capital. If she keeps running it for many years, tsk tsk..."

"Don't forget she also has a tavern. Even though the Sixth Prince and the young master of the Shang family are involved, she can still earn a lot of money all year round. Think about the tea and wine before, and the popular beer now. What do you think? How can she know so many ways to make money alone?"

"Isn't tea and wine passed down by Monk Yanda? Then what is beer called? A connoisseur who knows wine also went to drink it. He only knew that it was brewed from wheat, but he couldn't tell how it was brewed. Could it be Is it also a method that Monk Liao Yan came up with?"

Otherwise, how could a girl from the countryside know how to make wine? As for the glass workshop, some people simply blamed it on Monk Yanda. The great monk has traveled far and wide and has learned a lot. It is not impossible that he can make transparent glass. It's a pity that he did it before. The Xia family was blind and pushed the descendants of the great monk out, otherwise it would be Yu Cheng's turn to inherit these things.

"If you ask me, since everything belongs to Monk Yanda, shouldn't it be returned to Yunguan Temple? How can I keep it all to myself?"

As soon as the man finished speaking, there was laughter nearby. Several people who had gathered to discuss right and wrong turned their heads and looked a little ugly. The person who laughed was none other than Mrs. Cheng, and everyone knew that Mrs. Cheng had gone with the head of Anqing County. If they are close, what they just said will reach the ears of the county lord.

Mrs. Cheng looked at these people who were embarrassed because they were overheard talking, and said rudely: "Everyone usually claims to be a wealthy and charitable family, but few people have extended a helping hand to the victims of the Jiangnan disaster. , Yunguan Temple has never said anything like this, and people who have nothing to do with it should be treated leniently."

"You... don't know how much money Mrs. Cheng has donated?" one of them said angrily. They didn't pay attention when they themselves spoke, but came to blame others for listening.

"The Cheng family is not as rich as you, so we can only donate 3000 taels of silver. But it's better than doing nothing and just saying sarcastic remarks." Mrs. Cheng chuckled.

Mrs. Cheng invited her friends and pooled a lot of money together. At the same time, those who had food provided food for the Shang family's caravan to transport to the disaster-stricken areas to give porridge to the refugees.

These families were all praised by Emperor Changde in the court. Of course, Yu Cheng was the leader, and a series of them were sent to the mansion of Dingguo Hou.

The fourth prince was a little annoyed about this situation. Originally, some staff members had proposed to use the Yu's tavern to discuss matters at this time, because the business of the Yu's tavern was very good, and some people said that the newly released beer had a malty aroma. Winemaking was a waste of food. They originally wanted to impeach Yu Cheng for hoarding food and making wine instead of using it to relieve the victims.

But before they could raise their voice, Yu Cheng's large donation left them speechless, causing the fourth prince to also lose a sum of money.

Yu Cheng didn't pay attention to the comments from outsiders. After Lu Yanzhao went to the south, news of the original blockade began to come out one after another, and Internal Inspector Li in Tongzhou was unable to return to Beijing for the time being.

Yu Cheng opened the letter sent by Internal Supervisor Li, and then he understood what happened in Tongzhou.

When Inspector Li passed by for the second time, the number of victims gathered outside Tongzhou City increased.While Li Naijian continued to send people to purchase grain and medicinal materials, he also distributed grain and porridge to the victims in the name of the queen, and gained a good reputation in the local area.

But then the number of disaster victims who poured into Tongzhou suddenly increased. When Li Naijian learned from those who had fled what had happened, he learned that an epidemic broke out in Jiangnan.
