"You don't want us to donate? This is our sincerity to you. Moreover, we also pity the victims of the disaster and sympathize with them. We also hope that the world will be peaceful. "Princess Royal said.
Young Master Su also said: "Yes, I heard that the Emperor wants you to raise 1.8 million taels of silver by yourself, but those nobles are not willing to donate a single cent to you. Instead, they rush to donate to the Empress and curry favor with her. So after discussing with the Princess, we decided to use our own savings to help you. "
"Thank you. I accept your sincerity, but I don't need anyone to donate for the time being. Quickly carry the silver back. If I really need it, it won't be too late to find you. "Chu Xuanchen cupped his hands and said.
"Xuanchen, you clearly lack so much silver. With our silver, you will be much more relaxed. Why don't you want it?" Princess Royal asked, puzzled.
Chu Xuanchen said: "Don't worry, I have already thought of a way. This time, I want to extort the silver from the big tiger's mouth, so I can't waste your money."
"Extort from the big tiger's mouth? Who is the big tiger? "Princess Royal looked puzzled.
Young Master Su understood Chu Xuanchen's meaning as soon as he heard it. He whispered a few words to Princess Royal.
Then he said: "Well, since you don't need it, we will carry the silver back to the Su residence first. If you need it, you can send someone to get it."
At this time, the excited voice of the gatekeeper sounded from outside: "Prince, Grand Tutor Han, Grand Tutor Li, Magistrate Zhang, and many other officials have come to send you donations."
He had just finished speaking when a large group of people came in.
Chu Xuanchen glanced at the door and saw a large group of officials coming in.
Grand Tutor Han took the lead: "Your Highness, this old official heard that it was difficult for you to raise money. Yesterday, when you raised money from the nobles, you didn't raise any money. Here is one thousand taels of silver, which is the savings of this old official over the years. This old official wants to donate it to you as a token of my sincerity for the victims of the disaster. "
Grand Tutor Li also said: "Prince, here is five hundred taels. You also know that this old official is honest and upright, and has been honest all my life, so I don't have much savings. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. "
Magistrate Zhang also held a bag of silver and said, "Your Highness, because this official's mother's health has always been poor and she has to take medicine every day, this official doesn't have much savings. But as long as it's His Highness's business, it's my business. This lowly official has specially borrowed two thousand taels of silver from my colleagues to support Your Highness. Please accept it. "
"…"
Following that, the other officials also brought out their silver.
Those who were well-off donated more. Those who were not well-off also expressed their difficulties and donated quite a lot.
Looking at the enthusiastic faces in front of him, the stacks of crumpled banknotes, and the ingots of sweaty silver, Chu Xuanchen was very touched.
He didn't expect that he didn't go to them to ask for donations.
They actually took the initiative to donate to him.
There were also some donations from unknown people. They probably didn't dare to offend Hongyuan Emperor, but they also wanted to support him.
But overall, the people who came this time were all officials with meager salaries.
Looking at everyone, he said: "Everyone, Wang is very grateful for your timely help, support Wang's work, and donate to the people. But the officials present are all honest officials, and their salaries aren't high. There are also old and young at home. This Prince really doesn't dare to accept this. Wang won't accept your money for now. Wang will think of another way to raise money. "
"What? Your Highness, you don't want our donations? If you don't want it, then can you raise enough money? "Grand Tutor Han said.
