Grand Tutor Han stroked his beard and nodded, "Your Majesty, this subject believes in The Emperor of Li's character. The Emperor of Li's character is precious. This subject heard that he sent people to Tian Sheng Empire to buy rice for one million taels of silver a few days ago. It can be seen that he really cares about the people. He's not the kind of person who would embezzle the donated funds. This old subject feels that this disaster relief is the responsibility of every subject. We can't just let The Emperor of Li bear the burden alone. We should let everyone bear the burden together. The one million taels that The Emperor of Li used to buy grain should be deducted from this batch of disaster relief funds. Otherwise, The Emperor of Li's residence would have to fork out so much money and bear such a heavy burden. It would be too much pressure for him to bear alone. "
"That's right, Your Majesty. This time, it's all thanks to The Emperor of Li's alertness that he went to Tian Sheng Empire to buy grain in advance. Otherwise, if he waited until now to buy the grain, not to mention the price increase, the other party would definitely not sell it. "Grand Tutor Li also said.
From this matter, it could be seen that The Emperor of Li had more foresight than Emperor Hongyuan.
Emperor Hongyuan didn't expect Chu Xuanchen to think so far ahead. As the emperor, he couldn't even compare to Chu Xuanchen.
He could only say, "Alright, we'll do as you say. Take one million taels of silver from the disaster relief funds and use it to supplement The Emperor of Li's residence."
"There's no need, Your Majesty." Chu Xuanchen suddenly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, this subject thanks Grand Tutor Han and Grand Tutor Li for their good intentions. However, when this subject purchased the grain, this subject decided to let The Emperor of Li's residence donate it. I didn't think of asking for compensation. This subject thanks Your Majesty for your kindness, but this subject doesn't want this compensation. With this subject's purchase of grain and the three million and five hundred thousand taels of silver, this subject believes that this disaster relief will be twice the result with half the effort. "
When Grand Tutor Han and the others heard this, they all praised Chu Xuanchen in their hearts.
The Emperor of Li was willing to fork out one million taels of silver to participate in disaster relief.
This kind of person wouldn't care about a few million taels of silver, so how could he embezzle it?
Of course, they believed him.
Hongyuan Emperor did not expect Chu Xuanchen to be so generous. Normally, people would only donate tens of thousands of silver to show their kindness.
He actually donated one million taels of silver.
He couldn't understand him at all.
The world was his. Why did Chu Xuanchen have to do this?
At this moment, Eunuch Xu's voice came from outside. "Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Xian is here."
By the time he finished speaking, Prince Xian, who was dressed in a white robe made of flowing clouds, had already walked in, looking as gentle as jade.
Prince Xian had heard Chu Xuanchen's words when he was waiting outside the hall for the summons. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since Imperial Brother is willing to donate one million taels of silver to the common people, then this subject is also willing to donate one million taels of silver."
In front of all the officials, the princes usually referred to themselves as subjects and changed the title of "Father" to "Your Majesty".
When the ministers heard this, they all began to praise Prince Xian.
"Your Majesty, His Highness Prince Xian and His Highness The Emperor of Li are both so benevolent. Our Chu State is full of talented people and is full of vitality. Everyone is competing to be the first to donate. I believe that our country will definitely be solid and prosperous for generations to come! "
"Your Majesty, with so much silver, I believe that this flood will be saved. Both His Highness are dragons among men. This subject admires you. "
Hongyuan Emperor immediately stroked his beard and laughed. "Good, Xuanchen, Liuyun! Since you two are so considerate, then my people will be saved! "
Speaking of this, he looked at the two of them. "Since the fundraising has been settled, you two will immediately set off tomorrow and rush to the disaster area. Remember, in order to prevent something like Madam of Wei from happening again and arouse suspicion among the common people, you must use all the money you spend. Every sum of money you use must be accounted for. The account book must be real and clean. "
"Yes, Your Majesty, please rest assured," Chu Xuanchen said.
