    ?

    After finishing speaking, he raised his wine glass and said, "I would like to offer a toast to everyone, and I will do it first to respect you!"

    After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.

    When everyone heard that he wanted to donate 100,000 taels, they all became more frowning.

    Li Wang took the lead in donating so much, if they donated less, it would be unreasonable.

    At this time, a minister said: "My lord, you know, I am an upright official, I am an upright official, I have a clean sleeve, where can I get the money to donate?"

    "Yes, my lord, there is an eighty-year-old mother in my family, and there are wives and children to support, and I have no money."

    "My lord, although I am a businessman, but in the past few years there have been natural disasters, the people have no money, and business is not easy. I lost tens of thousands of taels of silver last month, and my family is about to lose money. I really can't afford it.  Come donate."

    "My lord, my family has run out of money. My son doesn't even have money to marry a wife. There is really no money to donate."

    Officials and nobles began to cry poor one by one, so they were unwilling to donate money.

    The world belongs to the emperor, and the money belongs to them, so why should they donate it?

    Besides, with their salaries, if they donate a large sum of money at every turn, isn't this telling the emperor that they are corrupt?

    Therefore, this money cannot be donated.

    Hearing everyone's words, Chu Xuanchen said coldly: "Are you all crying poor to me? You are all one of the richest people in Chu State. How much money have you saved in the bank, and how many land stores do you have in your family?  Doesn¡¯t the king know? Don¡¯t worry, even if the king knows how much money you have, he won¡¯t force you. Donations must be voluntary, but anyone who can donate more than 10,000 taels will be honored and rewarded by the king at the emperor¡¯s meeting!  The more you get, the bigger the reward!"

    When everyone heard that there was a reward, they were still not moved.

    After all, some rewards are just names, without real power, so they are useless.

    It's still real money.

    Most importantly, they have other reasons.

    At this time, someone finally couldn't help but said: "My lord, it's not that we don't want to donate, but you are late. Before you, the empress empress and Mrs. Wei Guo had already called everyone to donate money, so I donated one to the empress."  Ten thousand taels of silver!"

    "Yes, I also donated five thousand taels to the queen, and there is still one thousand taels of rice!"

    "I only donated three thousand taels. We donated so much just now. How can there be any money to donate to you?"

    Chu Xuanchen was taken aback, "The empress is also raising money?"

    "Yes, my lord, in the name of disaster relief, Madam Wei asked Mrs. Wei to help her raise money in the palace and the people, and she is also going to raise money for disaster relief. Our money has been donated to your majesty, so there is really no way to donate it to you  .¡±

    "How much has she raised now?" Chu Xuanchen asked.

    "She started raising money early yesterday morning. I heard that the empress has a lot of face, and she has already raised 500,000 taels! Moreover, she will hold a charity auction to continue raising money!"

    "If she is asked to raise for two more days, it is estimated that she can raise several million taels!"

    "500,000 taels?" Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows, and a fox-like chuckle suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

    He waved to everyone, "Since everyone has donated to the queen, there is no need to donate to the king for the time being. Anyway, it is to raise funds for the disaster area, and the donation is the same everywhere."

    Moli next to him whispered, "My lord, this is not the same. The money raised by the empress is her favorite. Besides, according to her temper, she will not hand over the money to you for disaster relief. She will definitely send it herself.  If people go to disaster relief and are separated from you, you still have to raise money. If the money is not completed, the emperor will still make trouble for you." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
