C.1672

Soon, driven by the lack of funds, the rich and powerful businessmen also began to make donations.

Batch after batch of silver flowed out of the hands of the rich and poured into all parts of the country.

Under the leadership of the rich, people have also made voluntary donations to contribute to the construction of schools.

However, the world will not be too beautiful. Some people are willing to donate, and naturally many people are unwilling to donate.

In the imperial library.

“What do you mean? Five surnames and seven hopes said they were unwilling to donate money? ” Xu que looked at Gong Qiwei who came to report the news and said with a frown.

The eastern Tang Dynasty was in a social state of identity system. Here, the aristocratic families had high prestige and status. Among them, the aristocratic families with five surnames were the most powerful, and the two surnames had two prefectures respectively. Therefore, they were called the five surnames and seven outlooks.

Now the five surnames and seven hope to take the lead in not participating in the donation will certainly play a very bad leading role.

At that time, the royal authority will be affected. I’m afraid other families will learn from each other and despise the imperial power one after another.

That’s not good!

“In reply to the Holy Father, the five surnames and seven hopes said that they had suffered natural disasters this year, and the same losses were not small. There was no extra money to subsidize the refugees.” Gong Qiwei knelt down and said in a deep voice.

Xu Shideng was angry from his heart: “these old Wang Ba said they had no money? Really think I don’t know that they open their warehouse and put grain at a high price? ”

Famine was rampant. Instead of providing relief, rich families hoarded grain. When even the royal family could not manage it, they sold grain at a high price, forcing countless civilians to sell their children and women.

The wine and meat in Zhumen are smelly, and there are frozen bones on the road. Such a scene can be found everywhere in the place where the rich and powerful are located.

It can be said that the glory of the five surnames and seven hopes is built on countless bones. Even Xuanyuan Wanrong once used the power of the powerful family to control power.

Gong Qiwei is now regarded as a confidant and naturally began to actively give advice.

“Your Majesty, the owner of the aristocratic family implicitly asked you to bid for the grain they hoard, and then be your…”

Xu Xu’s eyes were cold: “go on.”

Finally, the emperor asked them to hesitate again

“Oh, what a good abacus!” Xu Shideng laughed angrily.

Originally, he thought that he would stay here for a long time. If he could be stable, he wouldn’t be too arrogant.

But now five surnames and seven hopes are even more dragged than him!

Who can bear it?

Do you really think I’m the old loser emperor?

“Pass on my instructions and send someone to collect money at the gate of Wuxing Qiwang’s house.” Xu que narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer, “just tell them that I will set up a merit monument in the imperial city according to the amount of donation and announce it to the world!”

Gong Qiwei didn’t react at first. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly understood Xu Xu’s idea.

“Emperor, your move is wonderful… It can be said to be a drastic draw!”

“What is your educational level? I call it moral kidnapping! ”

Hum, don’t you want to donate?

OK, then I’ll tell the world the amount you donate and let the people all over the world know. I’ll see if you five surnames and seven hopes have the face to donate less.

Within a few days, driven by Xu que, a monument of merit and virtue was soon established in the imperial city.

Five surnames and seven looks panicked in an instant.

Their powerful family has stood for a hundred years, relying on their continuous reputation.

For them, mere money is just a by-product of time accumulation. Only being famous all over the world is what they pursue.

Now, if they don’t donate this merit monument, it’s completely equivalent to being roasted on the stove and will be sprayed by the people every minute!

“Dog emperor, it’s cruel!”

“I can think of such a bad move. Who is giving him advice?”

“Do we still donate?”

“Donate a fart, I Liu Shi swear not to obey!”

“Master Liu, you fart. I just received the wind. You have sent someone to donate tens of thousands of Liang.”

“Ah, really? It seems that I’m old and have a bad memory! ”

“Go, go and donate quickly. My Li family will take the merit monument first!”

“Fart, the top of the list must be my Wang family!”

For a time, many donors, especially Wuxing Qiwang, continued to krypton gold in order to compete for the top of the list, which completely alleviated the pressure on the Treasury.

After all, silver is needed everywhere at present. Although Xu Xu has developed various crops, crop growth also needs a certain cycle after all.

Xu Ke also took out a large part of the donation and sent it to the disaster area.

After finishing all this, Xu que also began to think about how to take the jade seal from Xuanyuan Wanrong.

After all, everyone wants to die together. Xu que also wants not to offend each other as much as possible. After thinking about it, seeing is believing. No matter how many beeps he beeps here, Xuanyuan Wanrong won’t believe him. It’s better to take her to the scene Follow me to the disaster area. Under my management, the disaster area is now stable and prosperous. You’d better hand over the jade seal! ” Xuanyuan Wanrong’s face was calm: “right and wrong, merits and demerits are in the hearts of the people. How do I know you’re not acting?” Hey, this woman can’t get into oil and salt! Xu que pressed down his anxiety, remained silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: “I see. You are afraid to see my outstanding achievements and fall in love with me. After all, I am handsome and talented. It is human nature to fall in love with me.” Xuanyuan Wanrong: “?” Is this bastard short circuited? Xu que put on a look of self intoxication, approached him and said affectionately, “I know you’ve been talking angrily all the time to attract my attention. I admit that your tricks have been successful, but… Woman, you’re playing with fire…” “well, shut up, I’ll go with you.” Xuanyuan Wanrong twitched fiercely in the corners of her eyes. Finally, she couldn’t listen and chose to compromise. It’s disgusting and terrible. It’s shameless to the extreme Would that be all? ” Xu que showed a proud smile. Greasy man, invincible in the world Not long after, under the protection of the guards, they came all the way to a resettlement site for victims outside the imperial city Look, this is my development… What’s the situation? ” Xu Xu was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. The whole resettlement area is full of starvation victims, and countless people have corpses on the road. A large number of hungry victims lay on the roadside, shivering, as if they were dying soon. Without any reason, Xu Ke burst into a rage and shouted, “Gong Qiwei! Get over here! Didn’t you say that the disaster relief funds were in place? Why is this happening? ” Gong Qiwei ran over, knelt in front of Xu Kuan and said in a trembling voice: “Your Majesty, I’m going to report this to you. According to my investigation, the disaster relief fund was ten million liang of silver, but in fact, only three million liang of silver was actually implemented, and even the food I bought…” after listening to Gong Qiwei’s report, Xu Xu’s face was as gloomy as ink: “take me to see the food you bought.” Under the leadership of Gong Qiwei, several people came to the granary, where a large amount of grain was stacked. Xu Kai tore open a bag of packaging, and rice fell pattering, mixed with a large number of stones. Grab a handful of stones, more than rice. Xu que silently looked at the handful of rice in his hand. After a long time, he said, “who sold these…?” Yes… Five surnames and seven hopes. They took the initiative to sell at a low price. ” Gong Qiwei whispered Hehe… Five surnames and seven hopes. How brave you are… It’s the first time I’ve been fooled like this. ” Xu Xu is very angry at this time. For the first time in a long time, someone dared to play with him like five surnames and seven hopes. As for the 7 million taels of silver that disappeared, Gong Qiwei didn’t have to say that Xu que knew where to go. The money of the people is divided into three or seven parts, and all the money of the tyrants and gentry is returned. There has been collusion between officials and businessmen since ancient times How dare they? ” At the moment, Xuanyuan Wanrong was also angry. Then he glanced at Xu vacancy and said in a deep voice: “is this the so-called ability you want to show me? You can’t even hold down five surnames and seven hopes. How can you govern the whole country? ” Well, you’re right! ” Xu nodded. Xuanyuan Wanrong was stunned. This was the first time Xu lacked agreed with her words, which made her a little unresponsive How can I manage the eastern Tang Dynasty if I can’t even hold down five surnames and seven hopes? ” Xu que grinned and showed his white teeth, but his tone was full of forest cold: “I want to see where they are brave enough to control and tease me as a doll!” Don’t say it’s a fantasy world. Even in xianyuanzhou, the Immortal Emperor is not qualified to play such a trick! Your five surnames are Qiwang. Which hair is it
