Chapter 1672 Which hair is considered?

Soon, under the promotion of Xu Que, major wealthy businessmen began to donate.

Batches of silver flowed out of the rich and flocked to all parts of the country.

Under the leadership of the rich, the people also donated money spontaneously to do their best to build the school.

However, the world is not too beautiful. Some people are willing to donate, and naturally many people are unwilling to donate.

In the imperial study room.

"What does it mean? The five surnamed Qiwang said that they were unwilling to donate?" Xu Que looked at Gong Qiwei who came to report the news and frowned.

The Eastern Tang Dynasty was in a social state of identity system. Here, the aristocratic families had high prestige and status, among which five surnames were the most powerful, and two surnames each had two county guards, so they were called the five surnames and seven hopes.

Now that these five surnames Qi Wang take the lead in not participating in donations, it will definitely play a very bad leading role.

At that time, the authority of the royal family will be affected, and other families may have one learning and will despise the imperial power.

This is not good!

"Report to the emperor, the five surnames Qi Wang said that they suffered natural disasters this year and suffered great losses. There is no extra money to spend to subsidize the refugees." Gong Qiwei knelt down and said in a deep voice.

Xu Que immediately became angry and said, "These old turtles are embarrassed to say that they have no money? Do you really think that I don't know about opening a warehouse and releasing grain at a high price?"

Famine was rampant, and the wealthy families not only did not provide disaster relief, but instead hoarded food. When even the royal family could not control it, they sold food at a high price, forcing countless ordinary people to sell their children and daughters.

The rich family smells of wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road. Such a scene is everywhere in the places where the wealthy families are located.

It can be said that the glory of the wealthy family of the five surnames and seven hopes was built on countless corpses. Even Xuanyuan Wanrong had the power of the wealthy family when she was in control.

Gong Qiwei is now regarded as a confidant and naturally begins to actively make suggestions.

"Emperor, the head of the aristocratic family made a vague request, asking the emperor, you first bid to buy the food they stockpiled, and then be yours with peace of mind..."

Xu Que's eyes stern: "Continue talking."

Gong Qiwei hesitated for a while, and finally said, "They said... let you continue to be your free-spirited emperor."

"Haha, it's such a good plan!" Xu Que was immediately angry and laughed.

Originally, he thought that he would stay here for a long time and not be too arrogant if he could be more stable.

But now the five surnames and Qi Wang are even more arrogant than him!

Who can tolerate this?

Do you really think I was the cowardly emperor in the past?

"Tell me the oral order and send someone to the door of the house of Qiwang, the five surnames, to raise funds." Xu Que narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Tell them that I will set up a monument of merit in the imperial city based on the amount of the fundraising to announce it to the world!"

Gong Qiwei hadn't reacted at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood Xu Que's thoughts.

"Your Majesty, your move is so wonderful... It can be said that it is a way to remove the firewood from the bottom of the pot!"

"What kind of cultural level are you? This is called moral kidnapping!"

Hum, don’t you want to donate?

OK, then I will tell the world the amount you donated so that everyone in the world will know. I want to see if any of you five surnames and seven hopes donated less.

...

Within a few days, under the promotion of Xu Que, the monument of merit was quickly established in the imperial city.

The five surnames and seven hopes were instantly panicked.

Their wealthy family has stood for a hundred years, relying on their endless reputation.

For them, money is just a by-product of time accumulation. Only being famous all over the world is what they and other famous families pursue.

Now that this merit monument is released, if they do not donate, it will be like being put on a stove and will be sprayed to death by the people in minutes!

"Dog Emperor, it's simply cruel!"

"I can think of this kind of damage trick. Who is giving him advice?"

"Do we still donate?"

"Donate a lot, I, Liu, will never obey you!"

"Master Liu, fart, you just received the wind, and you have sent someone to bring hundreds of thousands of taels to donate."

"Ah, right? It seems that I am old and have a poor memory!"

"Let's go and donate quickly. My Li family will definitely get the first place in the Merit Monument!"

"Bad, the top spot must be my Wang family!"

...

For a time, many donors, especially the five surnames and Qiwang, kept kryptoning money in order to compete for the top spot, completely eased the pressure on the treasury.

After all, silver is needed everywhere. Although Xu Que has developed various crops, crop growth will eventually take a certain period of time.

Therefore, the fastest way to provide disaster relief is to purchase a large amount of food to continue to provide disaster relief.

Xu Que also drew a large part of the donations from the donations and sent them to the disaster area.

After getting all this, Xu Que also began to think of ways to take the jade seal from Xuanyuan Wanrong.

We all want to die together, and Xu Que also wants to avoid offending each other as much as possible.

After thinking about it, seeing is the most important thing.

No matter how much I talk about here, Xuanyuan Wanrong would not believe me, so she might as well take her to the scene to see it.

"Follow me to the disaster area. Under my governance, the disaster area has now become stable and prosperous. You'd better hand over the jade seal obediently!"

Xuanyuan Wanrong's face was calm: "Right, wrong, merit, and demerit are free in people's hearts. How do I know you are not doing a show?"

Hey, this woman is simply indifferent!

Xu Que suppressed the anxiety in his heart, was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I understand, you are afraid of seeing my outstanding achievements, but falling in love with me. After all, I am handsome and talented, so it is normal for me to fall in love with me."

Xuanyuan Wanrong: "???"

Is this bastard short-circuited?

Xu Que looked like he was intoxicated, approached him and said affectionately: "I know you have always been talking angry words to attract my attention. I admit that your trick has been successful, but... woman, you are playing with fire..."

"Okay, stop talking, I'll go with you." Xuanyuan Wanrong's eyes twitched violently, and finally couldn't listen anymore and chose to compromise.

This guy is so disgusting and deserves a beating. He is so shameless.

"Will that be enough?"

Xu Que smiled proudly.

A greasy man is invincible in the world!

...

Soon, under the protection of the guards, the two of them came all the way to a resettlement place for disaster victims outside the imperial city.

"Look, this is what I have developed...what is happening?"

Xu Que was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

The entire resettlement area was hungry and there were countless corpses on the road.

A large number of hungry victims were lying on the side of the road, trembling as if they were in their lives.

Xu Que felt anger for no reason and shouted: "Gong Qiwei! Get over here! Didn't it mean that the disaster relief funds were in place? Why does this happen?!"

Gong Qiwei rolled over and crawled over, knelt in front of Xu Que, and said tremblingly: "Report to your Majesty, I am about to report to you. According to my investigation, the disaster relief funds totaled 10 million taels of silver, but in fact, the silver that was put into practice was only 3 million taels, and even the food I bought..."

After listening to Gong Qiwei's report, Xu Que's face turned gloomy and said, "Take me to see the food I bought."

Under the leadership of Gong Qiwei, several people came to the granary, where a large amount of food was piled up.

Xu Que tore a bag of packaging casually, and the rice fell down drizzled with a large number of stones.

I grabbed a handful of stones and there were more stones than rice.

Xu Que looked at the handful of rice in his hand in silence, and after a long time, he spoke: "Who sold these...?"

"It's... the five surnames Qi Wang sold them at a low price." Gong Qiwei whispered.

"Haha... the fifth surname Qi Wang, you are so brave... This is the first time I have been fooled like this."

Xu Que was very angry at this time.

This is the first time in such a long time that anyone dares to play with him openly like the fifth surname Qi Wang.

As for the seven million taels of silver that disappeared, no matter how much Gong Qiwei said, Xu Que knew where he went.

The people's money is 30% or 70% of the money, and the gentry's money is returned in full. Throughout history, officials and businessmen have colluded with each other, but that's all.

"How dare they do this?"

At this moment, Xuanyuan Wanrong was also angry, then glanced at Xu Que and said in a deep voice: "This is the so-called ability you want to show me? Even the five surnames and seven hopes can't be suppressed. How can you govern the entire country?"

"Well, you're right!" Xu Que nodded.

Xuanyuan Wanrong was stunned.

This was the first time Xu Que agreed to her words, which made her feel a little overwhelmed.

"Even the only five surnames and seven hopes cannot be suppressed. How can I govern Dongtang?"

Xu Que grinned, revealing his white teeth, but his tone was full of coldness: "I want to see where they got the courage to actually treat me as a doll to control and tease me!"

Not to mention that this is an illusion world, even in Xianyuanzhou, the Immortal Emperor is not qualified to play with his own saints like this!

What hair do you think of as the five surnames and seven hopes?
