Eight hundred stones is not a small amount, according to the price of grain in Luoyang at that time, eight hundred stones of grain can be converted into money, almost about 200,000 yuan.

But for Dong Xuan, 800 stones is still too little.

For this fundraising, the bottom line in his heart is 15,000 stones, and if Wang Su only donates 800 stones, this bottom will be considered a failure.

Dong Xuan smiled and bowed his hand to Wang Su and said, "First of all, I want to thank Mr. Wang for his generosity.

Then, what I want to say is that today and the imperial court are not thin on Mr. Wang, Wang Mang is a thief who usurps the Han Dynasty, and has a deep hatred with today, and does not share the sky, with the relationship between Mr. Wang and Wang Mang, His Majesty can not investigate Mr. Wang's past, how big is this magnanimity, how big ...... mind, this time when he encounters a difficult thing today, Mr. Wang only "Wang Su is not a fool, and he can naturally hear the voice of Dong Xuan."

He turned his heart sideways, and said, "One thousand two hundred stones!" Dong County order, Your Majesty to the grass people, grace and reconstruction, grass people this time, willing to donate 1,200 stone of grain for His Majesty! ”

Dong Xuan was moved when he heard this, with a grateful face, he stood up, gave a deep salute, and said, "Mr. Wang can be so generous, please accept the next bow!" ”

"I can't do it, I can't do it!"

Wang Su hurriedly got up, waved his hand again and again, and said urgently: "Isn't the Dong County Order tormenting the grass people? ”

Dong Xuanzheng said: "This fundraising is not only to solve problems for today, but also to distinguish loyalty and traitor today!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Su took a breath and looked at Dong Xuan blankly.

Dong Xuan continued: "Many people keep saying that they are loyal to His Majesty and the Han family, but when they really need to use him, they push back and hold back, Mr. Wang is willing to donate generously and do a good job, and it can also make His Majesty clearly see that Mr. Wang's loyalty to His Majesty and the imperial court, in the future, Mr. Wang will no longer have to shrink back in Luoyang, and he can rest assured and boldly run his own shop."

As long as Mr. Wang behaves properly and does it rightly, and His Majesty is his backer, who should he be afraid of? ”

When he said this, Wang Su's heart was surging, his thoughts turned sharply, and he quickly made a decision, he said word by word: "The grass people are loyal to Your Majesty's Zhong, heaven and earth can be learned, Dong County order, the grass people are willing to donate 1,500 stone of grain for Your Majesty!" ”

Fifteen hundred stone of grain, almost 400,000 yuan.

Wang Suken donated so much food, and it can be seen that he really took out his blood.

Dong Xuan is very strategic, the dialogue in the front is soft coercion, and the dialogue in the back is a real lure, and he squeezed out 1,500 stone of grain on Wang Su.

He bowed to Wang Su again, and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang's foresight is admirable!" Many people can only see the small profit in front of them, but Mr. Wang can see far away and can see the flat avenue ahead. ”

Wang Su bowed his hand to Dong Xuan and said, "Dong County has won the award!" Your Majesty has difficulties, the court has difficulties, and the grass people are willing to give them away! ”

Dong Xuan's visit to Wang Su was a good start, Wang Su donated 1,500 stone of grain at once, so much food, enough to feed 100 families for several years.

In the past few days, Dong Xuan has visited the big businessmen in Luoyang door to door, because Wang Su's foundation is good, and all the businessmen have heard about it, so they have made a bloody investment when donating.

In just a few days, Dong Xuan has already collected donations of tens of thousands of stones.

The merchants generously donated money, and the ministers of the court also sent domestic servants to bring grain and transport it to the Luoyang County Government for donations.

The merchants did not dare to offend the imperial court, and the ministers wanted to show their loyalty to the Son of Heaven.

On this day, Liu Xiu found Hua Feiyan and asked, "Cost, recently, how is the fundraising led by Dong County Ling?" ”

Hua Feiyan smiled and said to Liu Xiu: "Dong County Order is very capable and very good at doing things, as far as Fei Yan knows, Dong County Order has received more than 12,000 stones of grain. ”

Liu Xiu put down the music in his hand, raised his head, and said in surprise and joy: "Oh?

It's only been a few days, and so much food has been received! ”

As he spoke, Liu Xiu stood up, nodded again and again, and sighed: "Shaoping (Dong Xuanzi Shaoping) is indeed a person who can do things!" ”

After a pause, he smiled and asked, "Tell me about Feiyan, how did he do it?" ”

Hua Feiyan focused on Dong Xuan's visit to Wang Su.

She said: "Back then, Wang Su relied on Wang Mang's care to start his family, and after His Majesty set the capital in Luoyang, it was not difficult for him to ......" Liu Xiu listened carefully, nodding while listening.

He didn't embarrass Wang Su, mainly because he didn't even know who Wang Su was.

Wang Mang reigned for fifteen years, during this period, I don't know how many families arose because of Wang Mang, after the change of dynasty, can all these families be punished?

No way! If you do this, the world will be in chaos! Moreover, many people who benefited from Wang Mang later switched to the Han family and became unswerving supporters of the restoration of the Han family, so since Liu Xiu became emperor, he did not go through the old accounts and investigate and punish those who were related to Wang Mang.

Hua Feiyan continued: "Dong County Ling cleverly borrowed this point to coerce and lure Wang Su, and in the end, let Wang Su willingly donate 1,500 stone of grain!" ”

Liu Xiu was stunned and said in surprise: "Fifteen hundred stone grain?

Wang Su donated so much, didn't he go bankrupt? ”

Hua Feiyan smiled and said in a low voice: "Feiyan doesn't know if Wang Su can be regarded as the richest man in Luoyang, but he can at least rank among the top three."

Fifteen hundred stone of grain was not a small amount for him, but it was far from the point where it could bankrupt his family! ”

Liu Xiu sighed and muttered: "In this way, this Wang Su's family background is really strong enough, Shaoping went to him first, this step is very clever!" ”

Hua Feiyan said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true! It is precisely because Wang Su made a good start that Dong County's order went smoothly in the next fundraising, and many businessmen endured the pain and donated a lot of food! ”

Seeing Liu Xiule nodding, Hua Feiyan added: "The ministers also donated grain, and the one who donated the most was Da Sima. ”

Liu Xiu sighed: "The officers and soldiers in the army are all Ziyan's brothers, as long as the conditions permit, he will not let the brothers in the army go hungry." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand to Hua Feiyan and said with a smile: "Feiyan, go, accompany me to the county government to have a look." ”

Dong Xuan did things effectively, which made Liu Xiu very excited, according to the current trend, the Luoyang County Government might be able to come up with 20,000 stone of grain.

If Luoyang alone solves 20,000 stones, then it should not be difficult for other counties in Sili to solve 180,000 stones.

This problem of grain and grass has been pressed on Liu Xiu for more than a day or two, a year or two, and since he became emperor, the shortage of grain and grass has been one of the biggest problems faced by the Luoyang Imperial Court.

Especially in the past two years, the imperial court has continued to march westward, and the food has become more and more scarce, and now even the emergency reserve grain is used, but it still cannot solve the practical problem.

This fundraising finally made Liu Xiu see a glimmer of light, as long as he could hold on until the end of the Longdi war, the imperial court would be able to take a big breath on the food issue.

Liu Xiu changed into civilian clothes and took Hua Feiyan, Luo You, Long Yuan, Xuying and others to the county government.

Now the Luoyang County Government is very lively, bustling outside the gate, gathering a large number of people, large and small vehicles, are about to block the spacious street in front of the county government.

These people, including the servants of ministers, businessmen and wealthy households, and ordinary people, came to the county government for the same purpose, that is, to bring food to donate.

Dong Xuan did not call on ordinary people to donate, but he couldn't stand many people coming spontaneously, and finally Dong Xuan set up a donation point outside the county government, and a special person was responsible for collecting grain and records.

When Liu Xiu and the others arrived, they saw such a hot scene.

Hua Feiyan sighed in a low voice: "Your Majesty and the imperial court have high prestige among the people, and when it is really a time of crisis, the people are also willing to stand on the side of the imperial court, share the joys and sorrows with the imperial court, and advance and retreat together!" ”

"yes!"

Liu Xiu looked at the scene in front of him and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

After a while, he said with a gloomy gaze, "It's because I didn't do a good job!" At the beginning of the world, the people's lives were still very difficult, and at this time, I didn't do well to let the people donate so many rations! ”

"Your Majesty......" Hua Feiyan looked at Liu Xiu nervously.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and shook his head again, he was born at the bottom, and he knew very well how difficult the life of the people at the bottom was, it was like this, seeing this scene, he was both moved and deeply remorseful.

He changed his words and asked, "Feiyan, didn't Gongsun Shu make trouble in Luoyang recently?" ”

Hua Feiyan said: "Since the death of Ruan Xiu, the meticulous workers have converged a lot in Luoyang, and most of them have shrunk up, not daring to show their heads, not daring to do things, but in this way, it has become more and more difficult to find the clues of the meticulous work. ”

"Hmm!"

Indeed it is! Liu Xiuxin nodded with feeling.

He was pondering, and felt that someone was pulling the corner of his clothes, and he turned his head to look, and it turned out to be Luo You.

Luo You stared at the crowd in front of him and muttered, "Your Majesty, that person seems to be a little familiar to me. ”

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Luo You's line of sight, there were too many people in front of him, and he couldn't tell who was who.

He asked, "Xiao You, who are you talking about?" ”

"The man in a green coat with his hair draped!"

Liu Xiu searched according to Luo You's description, and sure enough, he saw a young man in the crowd.

The man was in his early twenties, dressed in a short brown teal, with no trousers visible underneath, no crown or turban on his head, and his hair was completely scattered.

Here to explain, in the Han Dynasty, the hair hair is also one of the many hair trends, the scientific name is hair style, people who advocate primitive and natural, usually use this hairstyle, it is not considered a betrayal, and others will not show surprise when they see it.

Liu Xiu looked at the young man for a while, and then asked, "Xiaoyou, do you know this person?" ”

Luo You whispered, "He...... It looks like a little guy in a painting boat. ”

Liu Xiu, Hua Feiyan and the others all frowned.

The painting boat where Luo You stayed before was one of Gongsun Shu's strongholds, and the people on the painting boat were all meticulous works sent by Gongsun Shu.

If this young man with hair is really a little guy on the painting boat, then he must be a grandson.

But why did Gongsun Shu's detailed work come to the county government?

Is it for sabotage and trouble?

But this is not realistic, isn't this intentional to find death, and break ground on Tai Sui's head?

Liu Xiu pondered for a moment, and lowered his head to the Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei beside him.

The three of them understood, owed to Liu Xiu, and then strode forward, squeezed into the crowd, and approached the young man with a beatle.

They did not attack immediately, but hid in the crowd and secretly watched the young man's every move.

The young man with the hair was very honest, standing in the crowd, queuing up seriously, and there was no unusual performance from beginning to end.

Xuying, Xuting, and Xufei, who were secretly observing, glanced at each other, and muttered secretly in their hearts, could it be that Luo You remembered it wrong?

When Luo You was painting the boat, it was a few years ago, and besides, she didn't stay for a few days, and it was very likely that she remembered the wrong person.

They were pondering and picking up the registration of the young man with the hair.

The young man with the hair put half a bag of beans on the table and said, "Villain Qin Shan, this is the beans donated by the villain." ”

On the side, someone from the county government picked up the bag, opened it, looked at the beans inside, and then put it on the weighing pan to weigh it, and someone from the county government recorded the name of Qin Shan on the bamboo slips, and then asked: "Brother Qin, where do you live?" ”

"The villain is not from Luoyang, he is from Nanyang Wuyin, and now he is doing chores at Penglai Inn."

The people from the county government recorded them one by one and muttered: "Qin Shan, a native of Nanyang Wuyin, is now working as a small servant at the Penglai Inn." ”

As he spoke, he turned back and asked, "Have you finished weighing?" ”

"Twenty pounds."

"Good!"

The people of the county government continued to record, and wrote, beans, twenty catties.
