Chapter 887: There is no good feast
Some businessmen scolded in their hearts, sure enough! There is no good feast!
This can't be done with a few hundred taels or a few thousand taels, it has to be more than ten thousand taels! Therefore everyone became quail, and no one dared to say more.
At this time, it was the turn of the shopkeeper to come out, "Of course we understand the difficulties of the imperial court." Not to mention the sad life of the victims, it is not conducive to the stability of the city, and it has also caused a lot of trouble to the people in the city. ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he stood up and said with a solemn expression: "Before the old man came, the owner explained that he wanted to help the victims, but he didn't have so much energy. If you can't do it yourself, you might as well give the money to your lords so that the benefits can be delivered to the victims. Your Excellency is worried about the country and the people, and we, the ordinary people, are also willing to do our part. ”
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper suddenly stopped, causing everyone present to look at him with bright eyes.
What do you mean? Could it be that Juxianglou is going to donate silver?
Even Xia Hongji looked at it in amazement, Juxianglou is so confident? Is this going to make a name for yourself, or is it trying to climb up to the top of the Chincha-sama?
"Our Juxianglou in Hangtianfu will first throw bricks and jade, and we are willing to donate 30,000 taels of silver!" The shopkeeper proudly defied the audience, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.
"Good!" Gu Chengyu stood up at the case, and his eyes were full of excitement when he looked at the shopkeeper.
"The shopkeeper and your proprietor are well aware of the righteousness, and they are anxious about the urgency of the court and the suffering of the people. Juxianglou did its best for the imperial court and solved the urgent needs of the imperial court and the victims. This official will definitely bring this matter to heaven and ask the Holy God to reward him! ”
The shopkeeper coughed lightly, "Ahem!" My lord is serious, we are all the people of Dayan. Only when the court is stable, can we live and work in peace and contentment! ”
What's that? Isn't it all your money, master? It's good that you don't feel distressed.
In fact, the shopkeeper really hurts, 30,000 taels of silver! Their master is really willing!
And the master said that not only the restaurant in Hangtianfu will donate 30,000 taels, but even the restaurant in Yingnanfu will also donate 30,000 taels.
At first glance, he was also taken aback by his master's generosity.
When everyone present heard that they could go up to heaven to listen, they couldn't help but be moved.
This was praised by the emperor himself! Who would dare not give them face when doing business in the future?
It is very possible to say that he cannot be valued by the royal family, and it is very possible to become an imperial businessman.
Hu Mao's deep pupils looked over, 30,000 taels? So generous?
"Zhan shopkeeper, your owner is indeed a good person!"
Xia Hongji was almost choked by his own saliva, 30,000 taels? Juxianglou is really willing!
It seems that Juxianglou has made a lot of money over the years, otherwise the 30,000 taels would not have been said so easily.
Xia Hongji couldn't help but be jealous in his heart, this Juxianglou is really a cornucopia.
But there was something even more annoying to him in front of him, so many wealthy businessmen were present, naturally led by their Xia family.
Even Juxianglou has expressed his position, if their Xia clan still shrinks their necks, it will be a little too much to say.
Besides, they are Xia Shoufu's clansmen, if they really don't pull out a dime, wouldn't it be a loss of Xia Shoufu's face? If it is spread out, their Xia clan will also be ridiculed.
Not only did they have to get it, but they also had to be much more out than Juxianglou, because they couldn't afford to lose this face.
Xia Hongji suddenly felt sour, this Gu Chengyu brought so many rich businessmen today, I'm afraid it's the idea, right?
Could it be that Juxianglou and Gu Chengyu colluded to blackmail their money? Anyway, when the time comes, no one will track down Juxianglou and give him money.
Xia Hongji suddenly felt that Juxianglou and Gu Chengyu's intentions were extremely sinister, this was a white wolf with empty gloves?
Thinking about it this way, Xia Hongji saw the two of them singing and harmonizing like this, and immediately felt that he was the truth, otherwise why did the shopkeeper just now make such a positive statement?
These two must be tired!
"Show shopkeeper! You Juxianglou is really generous! 30,000 taels of silver said to take it, it can be seen that there is no less money on weekdays! It's just that we who are not doing well in business and are overstretched are just trying to do their best, and we don't have that kind of financial resources, right? ”
Xia Hongji thought that there was something unsavory between the two, and naturally he didn't want to be the wronged leader, so he sneered.
Shopkeeper Zhan turned his head and glanced at him with contempt, "Our Juxianglou does have a good business, but the 30,000 taels of silver are still transferred from various state capitals." To tell the truth, no one's money is blown by the wind, but is earned by proper means. But when our host sees the tragic situation of the victims, how can we bear to sit idly by? The proprietor believes that the good will help the world, and the poor will be good alone. He shouldn't be out of the way to a major event like disaster relief after a flood. ”
"A good one will help the world, and a poor one will be good alone! Your owner's consciousness is good, and I deeply admire it! ”
Gu Chengyu's expression was excited, and his face was full of appreciation.
When the shopkeeper said that he had earned it from legitimate means, he also looked at Xia Hongji intentionally or unintentionally, and Xia Hongji's face was blue and red with anger.
"Your Excellency praises it, but the owner is indeed a good person."
After glancing at Xia Hongji, the shopkeeper turned his head to look at Gu Chengyu without blushing, and praised himself seriously, does this feel too disagreeable?
How can anyone boast about themselves like that? He had heard his master praise him several times today.
Xia Hongji watched coldly, everyone present was ready to move, they were weighing the pros and cons, whether to donate or not to donate?
How much do you donate, so as not to lose face, and can you be praised by the emperor?
"Haha! In fact, the old man came prepared, and our host has long wanted to do his best. Even if Lord Qincha doesn't mention this matter today, the owner has to order the old man to offer this heart! ”
Then, the shopkeeper took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom, "Here are all silver tickets of one thousand taels, a total of 30,000 taels, and please find someone to count them." ”
For Juxianglou to be so refreshing, everyone present was stunned. I didn't expect the exhibition manager to bring the silver ticket, which is too positive, right?
Could it be that they are burning too much silver in Juxianglou? That's 30,000 taels!
Gu Chengyu nodded towards Governor Yang, "Lord Yang!" As the prefect of Hangtianfu, you have an unshirkable responsibility to manage the silver. All future expenditures must be accounted for, and every single one must be clear! ”
Gu Chengyu had already thought about it before, thirty thousand taels was not much, but it was not a lot.
It's not that he is stingy and refuses to take more, but if he takes more, not only will he be regarded as a wronged leader, but he will not get it well.
You want to! The court is now very poor. You are the owner of a restaurant, and you are so rich, isn't this a ready-made fat sheep?
If those officials in the court were red-eyed and even targeted by the emperor, would his restaurant still be able to open safely?
Although 30,000 taels of silver is a lot, it is still within the acceptable range of everyone.
