Taifu Han shook his beard and nodded, "Your Majesty, I believe in King Li's character. King Li's character is precious. I heard that he sent people to Tiansheng Kingdom to buy rice more than ten days ago and spent one million taels of silver. It can be seen that he really cares about the people, and he is not the kind of person who would embezzle donations. The old minister felt that this disaster relief is the responsibility of every courtier, and it should not be borne by Li Wang alone, but by everyone. Li Wang The one million taels of food purchased earlier should be deducted from this batch of disaster relief funds. Otherwise, if he is asked to pay so much money and bear such a heavy burden, he will be under too much pressure alone."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this time, thanks to King Li's vigilance, he went to Tiansheng Kingdom to buy grain in advance. Otherwise, if you buy it now, not to mention the price increase, people will definitely not sell it." Li Taishi also said.
?From this incident, it shows that King Li is much more foresight than Emperor Hongyuan.
Emperor Hongyuan didn't expect Chu Xuanchen to think so long-term, he was even compared to the emperor by Chu Xuanchen.
He had no choice but to say: "Okay, according to your opinion, one million taels of silver will be allocated from the disaster relief fund to replenish the Li Palace."
"No need, Your Majesty." Chu Xuanchen stepped forward suddenly, "Your Majesty, I would like to thank Taifu Han and Taishi Li for their kindness, but when I was buying grain, I made up my mind to donate it from Prince Li's Mansion, and I never thought about asking the Emperor to compensate me. Thank you for the emperor's kindness, but I am not going to ask for this compensation, and with the food I bought, plus the three and a half million taels of silver, I believe that this disaster relief will get twice the result with half the effort."
Upon hearing this, the Han Taifus all praised Chu Xuanchen in their hearts.
Li Wang is willing to contribute one million taels of silver to participate in disaster relief.
Such a person can't look down on those millions of taels, so how could they be corrupt.
Of course they believed him.
Emperor Hongyuan didn't expect Chu Xuanchen to be so generous. In order to show kindness, ordinary people would donate tens of thousands of taels of silver at most.
He actually donated one million taels.
He couldn't understand him a little bit.
The world belongs to him, so why does Chu Xuanchen bother.
At this moment, Eunuch Xu's voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is here."
After he finished speaking, the virtuous king in the white robe of flowing clouds walked in as gentle as jade.
When King Xian was waiting outside the hall to be summoned, he had already heard Chu Xuanchen's words, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since Brother Huang is willing to donate one million taels for the common people, then I am also willing to donate one million taels." .¡±
In front of the ministers, the prince generally calls himself a minister, changing the title of "father emperor" to "emperor".
When all the ministers heard this, they also praised the virtuous king one after another.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Xian Wang and His Royal Highness Li Wang are both so benevolent. Our country of Chu is rich in talents and full of vigor, and everyone rushes to donate money first. I believe that the country will surely solidify the bitter gold soup, and it will last forever!"
"Your Majesty, with so much silver, I believe the flood will be saved this time. Both Your Highnesses are dragons among men, and I admire you."
Emperor Hongyuan immediately plucked his beard and laughed loudly: "Okay, Xuanchen, Liuyun! Since the two of you are so caring, then my people will be saved!"
Having said that, he looked at the two of them, "Since the fundraising has been done, the two of you will set off immediately tomorrow to rescue the disaster area. Remember, in order to prevent Mrs. Wei from happening again, the people will be suspicious. You use Every amount of money you spend must be recorded in an account, and the account book must be true and clean."
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty," Chu Xuanchen said. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
