Everyone present looked at Gu Chengyu's actions in amazement, and they were a little dazed. Such a handsome young man, it shouldn't be

Gu Chengyu couldn't control the thoughts of everyone present, he took advantage of Xia Hongji's stunned moment and broke Xia Hongji's thumb hard.

"Yikes! Master Xia really deserves to be the example of our Hang Tianfu! He was willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver. ”

Gu Chengyu sighed in admiration, then let go of his hand, put his hand behind his back, and wiped it vigorously with a handkerchief.

Gu Chengyu's praise called everyone back from their stunnedness.

Xia Hongji hurriedly looked down, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, how many fingers is this? Could it be that he is old and dizzy?

"No, it's not ten" Xia Hongji hurriedly objected, he couldn't come up with so much silver!

"Master Xia really understands righteousness, and he is worthy of being Xia Shoufu's clan, let's bow to the wind!"

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and hurriedly intercepted Xia Hongji's words. Bow your hand to show your admiration.

The rest of the people looked at each other, this is too shameless, right? What a surprise to them!

They could see that Xia Hongji seemed to have just come up with 40,000 taels of silver. Unexpectedly, when Lord Qincha touched his mouth up and down, he turned 40,000 taels into 100,000 taels.

Xia Hongji choked on a mouthful of old phlegm in his throat, he didn't expect Gu Chengyu to be such a scoundrel.

What do you say isn't a scoundrel? He only wanted to come up with four fingers. Xia Hongji couldn't help but think of the coldness and disgust on the patriarch's old face at this time, and his heart and liver trembled.

He was just a branch of the clan, and he was sent to Hangtianfu by the patriarch to take care of business. Where is the money that he can decide? Before, he thought that it would only be 30,000 taels, and afterwards the patriarch would not blame him too much.

Later, in order not to be looked down upon, he gritted his teeth and added another 10,000 taels. Even if the patriarch is not happy, he can explain it.

But now it's 100,000 taels! He can't make up for it with his belongings, or the patriarch will definitely wonder where he got all this money.

Besides, if he was asked to take out the 100,000 taels by himself, it would be like digging out his heart and liver, and it would hurt so much that it would hurt too much.

"I just said four" Xia Hongji held up four fingers, his eyes wide. His hands were shaking, as if he was about to have a stroke.

"Yes! The official heard clearly just now, Master Xia donated 100,000 taels of silver. Come on, come on! Everyone, let's give a toast to Master Xia first! ”

Gu Chengyu sat at the table, raised his wine glass, and ignored Xia Hongji's face that was about to cry, and raised his head to drink the wine in the glass.

He won't give Xia Hongji a chance to say it, anyway, he is going to decide the 100,000 taels of silver.

Gu Chengyu regretted in his heart, but it was a pity that this Xia Hongji only had ten fingers.

He calculated in his heart, this Xia Hongji was just a branch of the Xia family, and he didn't have much authority in his hands.

Anyway, he will rush to Yingnanfu the day after tomorrow, Yingnanfu is the place where the Xia family made their fortune, and the descendants of the Xia family live here. When he arrived at Yingnan Mansion, Gu Chengyu had to bite off a piece of meat from the Xia family's lineage.

And they drank wine, and gave money. It stands to reason that today, Gu Chengyu's goal has been achieved, and this banquet can be dispersed.

It's just that everyone saw that Gu Chengyu was only concerned about drinking, and he didn't mean to disperse.

Hu Maoshen and other officials also looked puzzled, they looked at the account book held by Yang Chaoying, are these not enough?

That's probably almost 300,000 taels, right? Could it be that Gu Shaoqing is still not satisfied?

The money for the diversion of the river embankment and the resettlement of the victims should be enough in a short period of time.

Yang Chaoying and the others closed their mouths happily, and they couldn't wait to count the silver tickets at the moment. But Gu Chengyu didn't speak yet, and they had to accompany them.

Gu Chengyu glanced at the people who were dreaming, and felt that the time was almost up, so he opened his mouth again.

"I am so grateful to you for your generosity and dedication to the victims and the embankment! You are all good people, and when you have all engraved the monument of merit, you will surely be able to live for a hundred years in the future. ”

Gu Chengyu plans to engrave all the merchants who donated silver taels this time, after all, everyone has given out silver, and at least 10,000 taels.

Not to mention that every trading house has been rewarded by the emperor, but people donate so much silver, and the benefits always have to be given.

Anyway, the use of this silver is for the people, and there will be detailed accounts at that time, otherwise those ministers in the court and the central government will have to afford to be moths.

"Hey~ Lord Gu really tortured us, we donated such a little silver, why did it last for a hundred years? I'm ashamed. Besides, we don't give money to sell fame and reputation, but to help these victims. At the same time, I am also worried about the collapse of the river embankment, so that our Hangtianfu and Changtianfu will be ravaged by the river, causing the people to live in poverty! ”

Master Wang touched his upright belly, and his mouth seemed to be smeared with honey. Speak of yourself so high-mindedly and without expecting anything in return.

Yang Chaoying pulled the corners of his mouth, although he came to Hangtianfu as an official for a short time, he also had a thunderous ear for this old man.

Without him, because there is a Hedong lion in Master Wang's house! Mr. Wang was actually a poor peasant boy back then, but later his father-in-law's family recruited him, so he recruited Mr. Wang.

His wife's family is powerful, and Master Wang has really been angry for many years. It wasn't until his father-in-law went three years ago that he turned over and became the master.

It's just that the habit of so many years can't be changed, and he is extremely strictly controlled by his wife, and his wife happens to be an iron rooster who can't pull out a hair.

When I go back this time, Master Wang will inevitably be cleaned up by his wife.

So don't look at Master Wang, there are five or six people at this time, and when I go back today, he will have something to bear.

It's just that since the silver has already reached their hands, they will never spit it out again, so they can only let Master Wang ask for more blessings.

"Rest assured, the money just received will never be greedy for ink by the court officials. Every major expenditure must have the private seal of the official. Each other expenditure will be recorded in the account book and presented to the emperor for later inspection! ”

"Master Gu, what are you talking about? How can we not trust adults? In order to help the victims of the disaster and build the river embankment, it can be said that the adults have put all their efforts into it. If we have any doubts, it will be really wolf-hearted. Li Yuhuan hurriedly said loudly.

Li Yuhuan is also to have a good impression in front of all the adults, so that he is familiar with his face.

In fact, the silver has been donated, and both parties have achieved their goal, who cares where your silver goes?

Merchants only need fame, which is called taking what they need. These kings raised so much silver, and they would never believe that they were not greedy for a tael.

"Hey~ This silver is naturally to be used, and of course every place must be recorded!"

If you really take this money, don't you burn your hands? Their original intention was to help the victims of the disaster and to reduce the burden on the imperial court.
