Li Yi was secretly wondering whether to go back to the next official document to limit the amount of donations from other officials.

seemed to smile playfully, came over and took Li Yi's hand, and said seriously: "My stupid princess, you really think that the concubine is lying to you!" ”

"Ah, the silver is in the back room! The concubine body has already been prepared for you, and five hundred taels of white flowers and silver are not a lot. ”

Li Yi's heart suddenly became hot, hey! This is a good woman who is knowledgeable!

I saw it right, as if it was not an ordinary money-loving woman, it turned out that she had already heard the news, and quietly prepared to donate silver, and there were two hundred taels more.

Li Yi hugged her with great joy, kissed her the face a few times, hugged her little waist and turned around a few times, and then smiled meaningfully: "Okay, you ghost girl, you dare to urge the narrow to tease Xianggong, see if I don't clean you up, let you know that Ma Wangye also has three eyes." ”

"Huh! Just, I said, yes! I only have so much money, and I've only been in office for a few months, where did you get so much money? ”

As if deliberately straightening up his face, he snorted and said: "You are really an elm head, you have only been in office for a few days, and the money has not seen a shadow yet!" If we rely on your little money, we will all have to drink the northwest wind. ”

"This money was quietly stuffed into my hand by Madame when we came."

"Madame knows that your salary is meager, and she is afraid that her precious son will be wronged in Yunnan, so she prepared six hundred taels of silver, and asked me to keep it for you in private, so as to meet the needs of emergencies."

"Counting on you, a nerd, to take care of the housework, I'm afraid the maids and servants will all run away from hunger."

"Actually! Our family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing in Yunnan, where did we use so much silver. Rather than being idle and unusable, it is better to use it to help the poor. ”

"I'm thinking of donating some to the temple! As soon as I heard that you were going to take the lead in donating to the victims, I hurried to prepare it for you. Hee-hee! You get the idea. My big official, you can rest assured! ”

Li Yi nodded thoughtfully, thinking that other officials' salaries were much less than his own, and he said worriedly: "Hmm! The idea of donating 500 taels of silver is not bad, but we rely on the support of our family to have so many taels of silver to donate. ”

"Most of the other officials in Yunnan live on a meager income to support their families, and their families certainly don't have much savings, and certainly can't compare with us."

"So I think it's better to donate according to the original three hundred taels, so as not to make the difference in silver donation too large, causing everyone to discuss and even compare, making many people embarrassed."

"And yes! Since the relief for the victims this time is very large, I am afraid that it will not be enough to raise funds from various sources. And our conditions are much better than others, so we can't just donate these things. ”

"Didn't the string of crystal beads and the two crystal balls come back from the Sun thief? I don't think it's useful for us to keep it, so let's auction it in a jewelry store and donate the money to the victims, what do you think? ”

Hearing Li Yi say this, he was originally elated, but he seemed a little hesitant, and he muttered for a long time and said, "That... Those things, I... I would have liked to stay and dedicate it to Madame. ”

"You also know that Madame has always been devoted to the Buddha and is very fond of these kinds of utensils, and I want to give them to Madame when I have time, so as to please her. If it's auctioned, what will I do to honor her old man! ”

Seeing her pouting, obviously a little reluctant, Li Yi hurriedly enlightened her: "Hey! You must know that the Buddha has always persuaded people to be kind and convenient to others, and the purpose of the Buddha's popularization of the law is nothing more than to persuade people to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and to spread blessings. ”

"The silver taels we got from auctioning off these things are also for the lives of many hungry people, and what a good deed to help so many people at once! Even my mother will accumulate more good karma because of this, I believe that her old people will support it vigorously if they know it, don't you say! ”

It's as if I'm still pouting, and I'm a little unhappy, which is understandable.

Ruru's identity is just his own concubine, although Lang has a concubine intentions, but because of his humble background, he is not recognized by his in-laws, and he has a good opportunity to be filial piety, and he is about to be stirred up by himself, of course she is 10,000 reluctant in her heart.

But after all, it seems that she is a woman who understands the general situation, takes the overall situation into account, and is knowledgeable, and finally reluctantly nodded and agreed under Li Yi's continuous persuasion.

Early the next morning, Li Yi had just sat down in the study when he heard a chaotic noise outside the door.

Before Li Yi could ask, a personal soldier hurriedly ran in to report: "Marshal Qiqi, more than a dozen villages such as Linjiabao have sent people to come, saying that they have raised some disaster relief items for the hungry people and want to report to the marshal." They are all waiting in the gatehouse. ”

When Li Yi heard this, there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart, oops! This is really timely, this is the real meaning of the snow!

It's not that we have an eye for money, but we can reach out to help ourselves in this most difficult time, which is a great act of kindness! I can't ask for it!

"Don't hurry up yet, please come in!" He hurriedly commanded with overjoy.

After carefully tidying up his robes and clothes, Li Yi was about to walk out of the conference hall to greet them, but he didn't expect Guo Zhun to be out of sight, and he had already accompanied more than a dozen people to the front of the conference hall.

The two people headed by were Lin Duo of Lin Jiabao and Guo Huai, the eldest son of Guo Jiazhai.

Li Yi hurriedly approached, and with a fist full of spring breeze, he hugged his fists and bowed his hands in greeting: "You have come from afar, Li Yi has not been able to meet you from afar, and I hope to forgive your sins!" ”

Everyone also hurriedly hugged their fists in return, and Guo Huai, who was walking in front, said humorously: "I have always admired the handsome man tightly, Guo Jiazhai has been a few days apart, and I have already been a little impatient. ”

Li Yi haha, hurriedly exchanged a few polite words, and greeted them one by one under Lin Duo's introduction.

The people who came this time were all wealthy families near Ningzhou, including Qiuhe, the owner of Qiujiazhuang in the west of Ningzhou, and Du Chuanxiu, the third son of Dujiazhuang, and others.

Among them, Du Chuanxiu, the third son of Dujiazhuang, is the son who proposed to Guo Rong, and he looks personable and looks good.

It's just that his expression is slightly gloomy, and his smile is very stiff, so he must be quite resentful of himself.

Li Yi knew that this guy was angry, of course he wouldn't bother with him on this occasion, so he greeted everyone with a happy face, led them into the conference hall, and after the guest and host sat down, he hurriedly ordered his soldiers to serve tea.

After everyone sat down, Li Yi said with emotion: "You are all senior sages in Yunnan, and your reputation is like the sky, and the local government also depends on you. Although the lower officials have long intended to accept it, they have been entangled in mundane things and have not been able to visit them one by one in person, and I ask you to forgive me. ”

Guo Huai said with a smile: "The handsome man is in charge of complicated affairs, and the people of Yunnan have praised him, which can be said to be deeply popular among the people." ”

"We are idle clouds and wild cranes, idle people, do at sunrise and rest at sunset, just sit and eat and wait for death, how can we let the handsome people worry about us and other laypeople, why should the handsome be worried about this!"

Li Yi was about to answer, when Qiuhe, the owner of Qiujiazhuang, interjected: "The handsome man has only been in Yunnan for ten months, and Yunnan has already won a great victory in the past. ”

"As the saying goes, 'peach and plum do not speak, and the next is its own' What the handsome man has done is obvious to all, and the people of Yunnan have hope, but they all celebrate with their hands."

"And now the people of Yunnan are stable, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and they need a noble person like Dashuai to win the hearts of the people, revitalize their talents, and educate the Quartet. How fortunate the local people of Yunnan are! ”
