Hearing this, Hongyuan Emperor looked at Chu Xuanchen and said, "The Emperor of Li, because the national treasury is empty, we will allocate two hundred thousand taels of silver for this disaster relief. As for the rest of the money, we will have to raise it from the people. You are the imperial envoy, so you will be in charge of raising the money. As for Prince Xian, he will be in charge of other important matters. "
Su Ming also said, "That's right. His Highness The Emperor of Li is able to do more work. This subject thinks that this fundraising matter can be handed over to His Highness The Emperor of Li."
Chu Xuanchen coldly curled his lips. Hongyuan Emperor, this old fox, was really stingy. He was only willing to give two hundred thousand taels and leave the rest of the problem to him.
Raising one million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver was easier said than done!
He and Su Ming were singing the same tune. They wanted to hand over the heavy responsibility of raising money to him and let Prince Xian be the imperial envoy in name only. He would do the easiest work and finally gain a good reputation.
But for the sake of the people, even though he knew this was a trap, he still had to jump in!
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, this subject is willing to take on this heavy responsibility. But such a large amount of money is not easy to raise. If Your Majesty is willing to give this subject a certain amount of power, this subject may be able to raise money from the rich and noble families. Otherwise, it will not be easy to raise one million and eight hundred thousand taels! "
Hongyuan Emperor also knew that this amount of money would be difficult to raise.
As long as the flood in Jiangnan could be solved, he would let Chu Xuanchen force the rich and noble families.
In any case, if he forced them, it would damage Chu Xuanchen's reputation. He would also offend this group of nobles.
He said, "Alright, zhen agrees. Zhen will allow you to raise money in a certain way. But you can't force them. They must be willing to pay the money. Zhen will give you five days. You must raise the money in five days and then rush to Jiangnan to help the people! "
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Xuanchen cupped his hands.
At this time, Prince Xian said, "Your Majesty, five days is a tight deadline. It won't be easy to raise one million and eight hundred thousand taels of silver. During this time, this subject also wants to help raise money. I hope I can do something for the people. "
Hongyuan Emperor looked at Prince Xian with appreciation, "Good. Prince Xian is willing to volunteer, zhen will agree. You also help raise money!"
Speaking to this point, he looked at Chu Xuanchen, his eyes were cold and his voice, threatening, "As for The Emperor of Li, since you are the imperial envoy, you will take on the heavy responsibility this flood relief. Zhen's Emperor, zhen, you must not let's's hands'. For the sake of the people, this disaster relief operation could only succeed. Failure was not allowed. Emperor's Zhen's punishment's! "
Emperor's Xuanchen's Emperor 'Emperor's's's Emperor's emperor's's's.
It turned out that they were waiting for him to take the blame.
He had thought that Hongyuan Emperor was doing this for the sake of the people of the world. It turned out that he had dug a hole for him here.
... to Zhen ''s.
Emperor's, Of the's Emperor 'Emperor's Emperor's........
. The Emperor was dreaming. Did he really think that Chu Xuanchen would be manipulated by him and fall into his trap?
When the time comes, just wait and see!

After Chu Xuanchen left the court, he told Yun Ruoyue that the Emperor had appointed him as the imperial envoy.
When Yun Ruoyue heard that he was really going to the disaster relief, she immediately said, "When the time comes, I will go with you. I know some methods to control floods and plagues. Maybe I can help you."
Chu Xuanchen looked at her with heartache, "Don't. You are pregnant. How can you be tired from such a long journey? Be good and stay at home. I will send people to protect you. You just need to stay at home and wait for me to come back. "
Yun Ruoyue was very firm, "No, this trip is for the sake of the flood relief. It is for the sake of the people. I clearly have a way to help you, but I don't go. Won't it be very difficult for you?"
