Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

It has to be said that Gu Yanshu's grasp and understanding of people's hearts has indeed reached a terrifying level.

If you haven’t read the supplement before seeing this fundraising revelation, you will feel some resistance in your heart.

After all, there has never been a precedent for fundraising in Tianqi.

Now Gu Yanshu wants to use an announcement directly to let everyone take money out of their pockets, which is undoubtedly whimsical.

But unfortunately, most people have read that supplement now.

Everyone has a deep understanding of the situation after the snow disaster in Shaocheng. They were still feeling sad because of the powerlessness of the imperial court in the face of the snow disaster in Shaocheng.

At this time, in the hearts of the people in Tianqi, the idea of ​​wanting to do something for the people in Shaocheng has reached its peak.

At this time, seeing this recruitment notice, to the people in the capital, it is not asking them for money, but like a lighthouse lit on the vast sea, pointing them in the direction and letting them know that they You can also do something for Shaocheng!

Just at this time, another new message came:

"Tao Ranju Tang shopkeeper just went to donate 20 taels of silver! The shopkeeper Zhao of Guiyuanju and Lady Yao of Yaoyue Pavilion also donated 10 taels and 15 taels respectively!"

Hearing this voice, even if someone expressed doubts and incomprehension:

"How do you know?"

"Of course I saw it with my own eyes! I just came over from the "Kingdu Daily" and happened to see shopkeepers Tang and Zhao, as well as Mrs. Yao going to donate!"

"Then how do you know how much these shopkeepers donated?"

"Of course it was said by the "Kyoto Daily"! Just after the three shopkeepers finished their donations, the newspaper posted a notice!"

"Yes, yes, I just came from the newspaper office, and now there is a big piece of red paper on the wall outside the newspaper office! The people at the newspaper office said that from now on, all the money raised will be collected Write it down!"

"I know too! At that time I also asked what it was for, and the people in the newspaper said it was for openness and transparency! Let everyone know how many people contributed to Shaocheng, and how much each contributed, and it was also for convenience Everyone check the supervision, in case someone fishes in troubled waters openly!"

……

Donate money and post a special red list?

This sounds like something really new!

Even if many people walked towards the direction of the newspaper office, they were going to check out this new news.

Everyone just walked to Yude intersection, looked over from a distance, and saw clearly at a glance that this newspaper office was different from usual.

At this time, the door of the store outside the newspaper office was wide open, and even the windows of the side room next to it were also open.

At the entrance of the newspaper office, there was a large table, and beside the table, a wooden box half a person's height was placed.

A person was sitting in front of the wooden table, lowering his head to record something.

In addition, outside the wall of the newspaper office, as those people said just now, a large piece of red paper was pasted up. If you look carefully, several details have been written on it.

Tao Ranju donated 20 taels.

Go back to the garden and donate 10 taels.

Invite Moon Pavilion, donate 15 taels.

In addition to these three, there is one more.

Prince Li's Mansion donated 10 taels.

After seeing the last item clearly, a heated discussion suddenly erupted in the army:

"Wang Li's mansion actually donated 10 taels?"

"What's so surprising? Look at the three items in front, 10 taels, it's not much!"

"You think 10 taels is too little, so donate 10 taels!"

"That's right! If you think it's too little, donate 20 taels!"

……

A few words immediately silenced those who wanted to say that the 10 taels in Prince Li's Mansion was really low.

At this time, someone spoke:

"And don't forget, whether it's Taoranju, Guiyuanju or Yaoyue Pavilion, they are all owned by Princess Li!"

"That's right! It's said that husband and wife are one body, so if you do the math, Prince Li's Mansion actually donated 55 taels!"

The 20 taels and 10 taels don't seem like a lot when viewed separately.

But when they heard the number "55 taels", people immediately felt taken aback.

55 taels, even the young master who came from Zhongming Dingshi's family, can't casually say that this is a small number.

Immediately, someone in the crowd questioned:

"Wang Li's Mansion really donated 55 taels?"

"Of course it's true."

The next moment, a cold voice came from the direction of the newspaper office.

Hearing this voice, many students in Beijing Middle School felt their spirits shake. Without him, they are really too familiar with this voice.

Three years ago, they often heard this voice like the first snow in winter, pointing them in the wrong direction.

Subconsciously looking in the direction of the sound, everyone saw the figure slowly coming from the newspaper office at a glance.

Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, he was shorter than most of the people present, but his demeanor made people look up.

Even though everyone knew that the person in charge of "Kingdu Daily" was Wen Qingxiao, they even saw Wen Qingxiao's article in the daily newspaper of the second year of junior high school.

But knowing and hearing about it is not as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.

Immediately, someone in the crowd couldn't help shouting:

"Master Qingxiao!"

"Six sons!"

……

If you listen carefully, you can even hear a few voices hidden in the crowd, with a hint of crying.

The fierce reaction of the students in Kyoto immediately aroused the curiosity of others:

"Who is this person? Why does everyone react like this?"

"You just came to Kyoto not long ago?"

"How do you know? Xiaosheng has done his best, and it's only been a year since he first came to Kyoto."

"Because as long as there are students who have been in the capital for a while, there is no one who doesn't know Mr. Qingxiao!"

"That's right, Mr. Qingxiao was the most amazing person in our capital three years ago! He wrote poems at the age of three and wrote essays at the age of five. His articles are beautiful and unique, and he can be said to be a literary star!"

"Three years ago, Mr. Qing Xiao was only 16 years old, and he won two consecutive doubles in the first time, and was finally selected by the emperor himself as Tanhua!"

"That's right, the emperor also said at the time that according to Mr. Qingxiao's talent, even the number one scholar will make it!"

……

Although it is said that literati are inferior to each other, it is only relative to people with the same strength as him.

When a person is better than ordinary people, others may be envious and jealous, or there may be some slight dissatisfaction in their hearts, and they want to compete with him.

But if a person is ten times or a hundred times better than others, no one will be jealous and dissatisfied, and what is left is only admiration for this person.

Three years ago, Wen Qingxiao was the one who was ten times better than ordinary people, and was once hailed as a spiritual leader by students of the same age.

So now when it comes to Wen Qingxiao, many students in the capital seem to have endless things to say, telling others about Wen Qingxiao's glorious past history.

The students who didn't know Wen Qingxiao well, when they heard about Wen Qingxiao's previous deeds, even thought that the students in Kyoto were exaggerating.

But when he turned his head and saw the faces of ordinary people in Kyoto who also agreed, he knew that these words should not be fake.

At this time, many people thought of the edition of the daily newspaper on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

At that time, many students went to buy the next day's daily newspaper for the face of Mr. Pei the day before.

But after getting the daily newspaper, everyone discovered that the main editor of today's "Ten Years of Imperial Examinations, Eight Years of Simulation" section was not Mr. Pei, but a name they didn't know or understand at all.

At that time, many people felt that they had been deceived, but in line with the idea of ​​"buy everything, let's read it", everyone still carefully read the daily newspaper.

With just one glance, these people were attracted by the article with unique insights, penetrating insights, and a sharp look at the problem.

They immediately forgot that this article was written by a person they didn't know at all. After reading it again and again, they wished they could take each word apart and savor it carefully.

Thinking of the newspapers in the second year of junior high school, these people seem to understand the current mood of the students in the capital.

While feeling in their hearts that Wen Qingxiao was exceptional, these people inevitably noticed the wheelchair under Wen Qingxiao.

People's doubts about why such a talented person suddenly disappeared seemed to have an answer at this moment.

While these people were discussing all kinds of things about Wen Qingxiao, Wen Qingxiao had already finished talking to the familiar students in the crowd, and brought the focus of the topic back to the donation from Prince Li's Mansion.

"I know that everyone must have some doubts about this fundraising. Qingxiao promises to everyone here that all the arrears from this fundraising will eventually be handed over to the national treasury for disaster relief."

Wen Qingxiao smiled slightly, and explained to everyone about the fundraising time without slowing down.

Wen Qingxiao's voice was not too loud, but when he spoke, the others kept quiet in a tacit understanding, trying to hear every word Wen Qingxiao said clearly.

"As for the details on the red list, Qing Xiao can also assure you that it is completely true. If you still have questions, the newspaper office can accept supervision and inspection."

While speaking, Wen Qingxiao waved directly to the guards behind him, signaling them to show the money donated by Prince Li's Mansion to everyone.

Someone in the crowd immediately expressed his opinion:

"If Mr. Qingxiao is the guarantor, it will definitely not be fake, and there is no need to check it!"

This statement immediately attracted the approval of many people.

They all said that since Wen Qingxiao was in charge of this matter, there must be no problem.

It is not difficult to see from the expressions on the faces of these people that they really think so.

Even Gu Yanshu, when he heard this news, couldn't help but be moved by Wen Qingxiao's charisma.

As the saying goes, people take tea to cool down, but Wen Qingxiao's glory began 15 years ago and ended three years ago.

Three years, whether it is long or short, seems to be fleeting, but it is enough to make a person completely forget.

But Wen Qingxiao has withstood this test, even if he stays behind closed doors for three years, he can still be well received by the students.

Such a charm, such a convincing power, is absolutely unmatched by others.

But Wen Qingxiao's next actions seemed to explain to everyone why he was able to have such a reputation in the hearts of the students after three years of hiding from the world.

I saw Wen Qingxiao showing a faint smile to the person who expressed his opinion first:

"Thank you for your trust in Qing Xiao. Qing Xiao is very frightened, but since some people still have doubts about this, as the initiator of the fundraising, the newspaper has the obligation to contact everyone's doubts."

At this time, the guard who had just received Wen Qingxiao's instruction had already brought several other people dressed as guards and walked out of the newspaper office carrying several large boxes.

Even without Wen Qingxiao's instructions, several guards placed the box on the open space outside the newspaper office and opened it directly.

What was put in the box was nothing but the property under Gu Yanshu's name and the 55 taels of donations sent by Prince Li's Mansion.

Seeing the neatly arranged boxes and the white flowers, almost everyone's heart trembled.

Still the same sentence, knowing that 55 taels is not a small amount is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another.

Even those who lack concentration can't help but swallow their saliva when they look at the white silver.

If it weren't for the tall and burly guards with embroidered spring knives on their waists standing next to these boxes of silver, I'm afraid someone would really be unable to resist stepping forward to make a move.

"From left to right, they are 20 taels from Tao Ranju, 15 taels from Yaoyue Pavilion, and 10 taels from Guiyuan Juli Palace. If you have any doubts, you can go forward and count them yourself .”

"No...no need!" Dang even shook his head.

Wen Qingxiao acted as a guarantor, and put the money here for them to check. With such great sincerity, what else would they not want to believe?

Even if someone sighed with emotion in a low voice:

"I didn't expect that Prince Li's Mansion was really willing to donate 55 taels of disaster relief funds to Shaocheng!"

Almost everyone was still immersed in the shock of seeing the 55 taels of silver with their own eyes, and no one spoke at all right now.

Although the voice was low, it was especially obvious at this moment, and it struck directly into the hearts of everyone.

Almost anyone with a brain understands what this sentence means.

The person in charge who was sent to Shaocheng for disaster relief this time is the First Prince, if it is done well at this time, it will be a great achievement for the First Prince.

However, Prince Li's Mansion, which had the most tense relationship with the First Prince, was willing to donate 55 taels for disaster relief at this time.

How is this different from making wedding dresses for others?

Wen Qingxiao's political sense is even far superior to that of Gu Yanshu, so how could he not understand the meaning of this sentence?

Immediately smiled slightly, and said softly:

"Prince Li's Mansion said that the country had no grievances before, and the people had no rivals. In the disaster relief, it doesn't matter who deserves the credit. The important thing is to keep the victims safe, and this happens to coincide with the original intention of the newspaper."

What was the original intention of the newspaper?

No one knows better than the students who bought a daily newspaper every day for ten days.

If you are poor, you will be good for yourself, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world!

When I saw this sentence in the daily newspaper, many people felt their hearts were shaken, and it even aroused many people's discussions.

Hearing Wen Qingxiao's words now, and thinking of the shock when he saw "If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world", and you are immediately ashamed of your thoughts just now.

Feeling ashamed, someone immediately expressed his wish:

"I also want to do my best for the people of Shaocheng, but my pocket is too small, and I can only give out ten taels of silver at most..."

Speaking of this, the man seemed unable to continue.

After all, ten taels of silver, compared with the donation of 20 to [-] yuan from Prince Li's Mansion, is really a bit out of hand.

"For donations, the more the better, the less you don't care, not to mention ten taels of silver, it is ten copper coins, even if it is one copper coin, it is our heart to make the hungry and cold people in the disaster area drink more hot porridge."

As soon as these words came out, the worries in the man's heart immediately dissipated completely, and without thinking about it, he stepped forward and expressed that he would donate ten taels of silver.

Wen Qingxiao signaled him to register at the desk in front of the newspaper office.

Not long after, the details on the red paper on the outer wall of the newspaper office had new contents——

"Young Master Hua Blooms, donate ten taels of silver."

Playboy obviously didn't expect that ten taels of silver could be written on it.

Compared with the previous few donations, I suddenly felt a little at a loss.

But then, the thanks from the people in the newspaper office, as well as Wen Qingxiao's grateful eyes, immediately dispelled his bewilderment.

Playboy's actions seemed to set an example for others, and immediately, someone came forward to donate money.

The amount of donations from this person is even less than that of Playboy, only one or two taels of silver.

But the people from the newspaper office still carefully wrote down this donation in the details behind him, and still sincerely thanked this person.

As Wen Qingxiao said, the more the better, the less is free, and they will not treat them differently because the donation amount is too small.

With a good start, other people seemed to have reacted, and stepped forward one after another, expressing their willingness to donate.

After a while, a lot of details were written densely on the red paper on the wall.

From the changes in the details, it is not difficult to see that the amount of donations at the beginning was all one or more taels of silver, and later, figures of several hundred or one hundred coins gradually appeared, mixed in.

And those who wanted to donate but were short of money, when they saw the details of these one hundred coins, they also put aside their worries and donated generously.

Just like what was written in the fundraising apocalypse, do your best within your ability.

Apart from these students and ordinary people, other merchants and storekeepers of course also heard about the big movement of the "Kyoto Newspaper".

Seeing that Prince Li's Mansion, Tao Ranju, Guiyuanju, and Yaoyue Pavilion became famous because of their donations and were praised by the people in Beijing, these people also became worried.

Are they going to donate?

Don't donate, the details outside the newspaper office can be written!Who donated and who didn't donate is simply clear at a glance!

Now in the middle of Beijing, there is a faint feeling that buying porcelain should go to Tao Ranju. Tao Ranju's conscientious shop will not only make money, but also do good deeds. Buying Tao Ranju porcelain is also the voice of doing good deeds.

If they don't donate to others, will they lose many customers?

Donate, how much is appropriate?

The three shops that have already donated money are obviously donating according to their ability to make money. Tao Ranju makes a lot of money every day, so he donates the most.

Guiyuanju doesn’t make money as fast as the other two, so donates less.

Although their ability to make money is not as good as these companies, they are still reputable merchants in Beijing, so it is obviously inappropriate to donate a few thousand taels.

But if they donate too much, they will feel pain too!

This is all vain money, who would not be hurt if it was given away like this?

Just when the shopkeepers were having a headache, another new news came through.

Hua Xiangrong, the second largest rouge shop on Shaohua Road, donated 10 taels.

There was also news that Linlang Pavilion, the second largest jewelry store on Shaohua Road, had donated 20 taels.

Along with this news came another news.

That is, as soon as the news of Hua Xiangrong's donation from Linlang Pavilion came out, he immediately got many orders from noble ladies. For a while, there were more customers in the store than in the largest rouge shop and jewelry shop on the street.

Many people even said that Hua Xiangrong and Linlang Pavilion's shopkeepers were so generous to Shaocheng's affairs, they were not as ruthless as other merchants at all.

It's not bad to think about being a human being!In the future, I will buy rouge and jewelry from these two stores!

Hearing these news, the other storekeepers' eyebrows jumped.

Immediately, they couldn't take care of other considerations, and couldn't take care of their distressed things, so they sent people to the newspaper office in Kyoto to donate money.

Try not to leave a ruthless image in the hearts of guests who only recognize money but not people.

Immediately, on the red paper outside the newspaper office, there was a new update of the details——

"Juyou Restaurant, donate 3 taels."

"Yingxiang Tea House, donate 5 taels."

"Yang's Silk and Satin Village, donate 8 taels."

……

Many people who came to donate, when they saw such content, their slightly tense expressions loosened slightly:

Although the newspaper has always said that the more the better, the less is free, even if it is a copper coin, it is also a help to the people of Shaocheng.

But when everyone looked at the list, which contained dozens of taels of silver, a few taels of silver, or even hundreds of Wen, they felt faintly anxious.

In this way, you will donate a little to me until the year of the monkey?

If in the end, everyone's donations are still not enough for Shaocheng, what should we do?

Now after seeing the amount of donations made by these merchants, they can finally feel a little relieved.

As long as there are more merchants like this, I believe that the money Shaocheng needs will soon be enough.

In addition to these common people, there was another person who also breathed a sigh of relief.

That is the sixth son Wen Qingxiao Wen who is so beautiful in everyone's heart and treats money as dung.

"How does the princess know that these people will take the initiative to donate money?"

When Gu Yanshu learned from Qin Lu yesterday that the emptiness of the national treasury had a great impact on Prince Li's mansion, he directly approached Wen Qingxiao to arrange today's affairs.

At that time, Wen Qingxiao mentioned that it might be possible to rely on the strength of the people, but the speed would be much slower.

The matter of Shaocheng cannot be delayed, and I am afraid we cannot wait so long.

At that time, Gu Yanshu told Wen Qingxiao that the common people's donations could not wait, but the large donations from other businesses could come quickly.

Wen Qingxiao saw that the donation had been going on for half a day today, and the shopkeepers still hadn't moved at all, so he thought it was Gu Yanshu's mistake.

Unexpectedly, after returning from Hua Xiangrong and Linlang Pavilion shopkeepers, these shopkeepers would come one after another in just a few minutes.

Regarding Wen Qingxiao's question, Gu Yanshu only showed a confident smile:

"Naturally because I understand them."

As the richest man in the last days, Gu Yanshu can be said to be an extremely successful businessman, so he naturally understands what the businessman is thinking.

Tao Ranju invited Yuege to take the lead, and Mrs. Yao persuaded Hua Xiangrong and Linlang Pavilion to add fuel to the fire. It would be difficult for these shopkeepers not to take the bait.

As for the case of a wrong calculation, Gu Yanshu also has backup.

The big deal is to make an appointment with these shopkeepers, tell them the importance of donations "with emotion and reason", and let them donate "voluntarily".

In fact, if it wasn't for the imminent abolition of the conscription, if there is no result today, this matter will be settled. Gu Yanshu really wants to deal with these shopkeepers.

The capital city is at the foot of the emperor, and the emperor has many eyes and ears. The noise made by Gu Yanshu and the "Kingdu Daily" is so powerful that it cannot be concealed from the eyes of the imperial palace.

Even before the end of the morning court, the emperor had already received the news.
