In fact, the wealthy businessmen here can also easily take it out, and it depends on whether they are reluctant to give it up.

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for disaster relief, which can only be said to be barely enough. More silver is naturally better, and more is better!

"Please take a seat! On behalf of those victims, thank you for gathering incense! Hu Mao saw that there was really silver, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how much you can raise in the end, 30,000 taels is not too little.

It's just that the attitude of this Juxianglou is quite positive, could it be that this Juxianglou has some relationship with Gu Chengyu?

This can explain why the shopkeeper responded so positively to Gu Chengyu's words.

Before the shopkeeper sat down, he glanced at Xia Hongji defiantly, and then said: "Your Excellency, your lordship is not such a rich and unkind person. ”

The faces of everyone present are a little ugly, the shopkeeper of this exhibition means that the rich businessmen present are all rich and unkind? It makes them so angry.

Xia Hongji saw that the shopkeeper really took out the silver, and his face suddenly sank a little.

Is this coming for real? Thirty thousand taels of silver! It's just going to dig out his heart?

Although this silver is in the public account, it is all the family's silver. But if he gave the silver to Gu Chengyu today, the patriarch would definitely scold him later.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Although our Li firm is a small family, we are still willing to make a modest contribution, and our Li firm is willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver! ”

Li Yuhuan gritted his teeth and said.

They Li can't compare with those rich businessmen, and 10,000 taels is really the limit.

"Good! Li Shaodong's family is also a person who understands the righteousness, and this 10,000 taels of silver will be used for the diversion of the Hangtianfu River embankment. After the completion of the work, the official will erect a monument of merit, but if you donate more than 10,000 taels of silver, the official will ask the craftsman to engrave the number of silver taels and the family on the monument for future generations to admire! ”

"My lord's words are serious, our Li family firm is ashamed!"

Li Yuhuan was a little overjoyed at this moment, and his voice trembled excitedly.

How glorious is it to engrave it on an inscription for future generations to admire? This kind of good thing that has been famous for centuries, their Li family has really picked up a big bargain, and this 10,000 taels of silver is worth it!

Fortunately, after hesitating just now, he gritted his teeth and agreed. Even if you go back and tell your father, your father will agree, this is a good time for their Li clan to rise.

It's a pity that their Li family is too poor, if they can give 30,000 taels of silver, they can't say that they will be rewarded by the emperor.

can become a wealthy businessman, how can the eyelids be shallow?

Even a small businessman like the Li family opened his mouth, and everyone was even more moved. Who doesn't want to get such a good name for thousands of years?

They are businessmen who value profit, but they also pay more attention to fame. They do not lack silver, but they lack status and fame.

Moreover, with fame, you can earn more silver.

Even if Gu Chengyu put the reserve price at 10,000 taels, they can't care about it now.

"As long as it is more than 30,000 taels, the official will definitely ask the emperor to commend him, and the family that accumulates virtue and does good deeds should be commended by the emperor."

Gu Chengyu threw out the temptation again, come on! Give more silver, even if the disaster relief is not exhausted and filled into the treasury, the emperor will definitely be overjoyed.

As for the name of the emperor, it doesn't matter. In the eyes of the emperor, I am afraid that it is also silver.

"My Wang family is also willing to pay 10,000 taels of silver!"

Someone takes the lead, and then it's much easier. Even a small businessman like the Li family can give 10,000 taels of silver, and they can't lag behind, right?

"Our Qin family will pay 20,000 taels!" Have you not heard that the number of silver shall be engraved also? Their Qin family can't afford to lose face.

Anyway, it has to be more than the Wang family, right? How can you ask the Wang family to compare?

Hu Maoshen hurriedly ordered someone to record the amount of silver and the people who donated it, which will be engraved on the inscription in the future.

"Master Qin is so generous, this official will definitely engrave your Qin clan in front of the inscription at that time." Gu Chengyu smiled with a spring breeze on his face, and was calling in his heart to do more.

There were fourteen wealthy merchants, and everyone scrambled to report the amount of silver they had donated.

Gu Chengyu was quite satisfied with such a scene, and then turned his beautiful eyes and looked at Xia Hongji, who was sitting silently in the banquet.

He snorted softly, this Xia still wants to be a hair, beautiful to him. Don't let Xia's hemorrhage, I'm sorry for making such a big deal today.

Gu Chengyu then glanced at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper looked at Gu Chengyu's gaze and immediately understood.

"Ahem! You are all generous, and you are really a good family. It's a pity! Some people are just rich and unkind, and their families have mountains of gold and silver, but they are like iron roosters, not pulling out a hair, which is simply that smiling and generous. I don't know if I'm going to lose my face? Or disgrace to that person. ”

The shopkeeper sat opposite Xia Hongji, his head held high, and his tone and demeanor were full of disdain.

Xia Hongji was so angry that his face turned pale, this show of story made people hate itchy.

It's a pity that there are a lot of thugs in Juxianglou, otherwise he would have tied up this person and beaten him up to get angry.

Didn't he just think about how much to donate? They all donated, and their Xia family also had to donate, otherwise wouldn't it really become an iron rooster?

It's just that the thought of giving all the money to Gu Chengyu made Xia Hongji even more depressed. Give your own money to others to make political achievements?

And it's still the opponent of his own Shoufu, how can he think about it.

As soon as the shopkeeper shouted like this, everyone present turned their eyes to Xia Hongji.

They forgot that they were donating in full swing just now, why didn't Xia Hongji react?

Could it be that Xia Hongji really doesn't plan to donate? Thinking like this, everyone couldn't help but feel great disdain in their hearts.

Xia Hongji suddenly felt that these people looked at him strangely, and he couldn't help but be angry.

"Humph! Our Xia clan is the clan of the first assistant of the dynasty, although the Xia family business house is not as good as Juxianglou's daily gold. But when it comes to helping the victims, Xia naturally will not back down. So be it! Xia's out"

Xia Hongji stretched out a hand, then raised three fingers, and just wanted to blurt out a number, but he didn't want the shopkeeper on the side to sneer when he saw this, and the sound was very loud.

Everyone here has different faces, and there are many business categories under Xia's firm, including rice shops, silk villages, restaurants, and fleets.

In addition, the children of the clan are rampant, and even business is extremely domineering! Over the years, how many businesses have you gained by improper means? And how much ill-gotten money did you make?

The Xia clan is one of the richest businessmen in Jiangnan, and it is often rumored that the old men in the Xia clan are very arrogant and luxurious.

It is said that the life of the Xia Mansion is more luxurious, and it goes without saying that he wears gold and silver every day, that is, the Gong bucket used by Gong is inlaid with gold and jade.

And I also heard that even the ancestral hall of the Xia family is paved with gold bricks, but I don't know if it's true or not.

is so rich, I didn't expect that in disaster relief, I was only willing to give 30,000 taels of silver.

I didn't see the rising star of Juxianglou, and I didn't hesitate to give 30,000 taels!

Xia Hongji's face turned blue with anger, he glared at the shopkeeper fiercely, and then raised his fourth finger.

Gu Chengyu hooked the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes flashed, and he saw him step forward with an arrow and grab Xia Hongji's hand.
