Shoufu Jiaoyi has space

Chapter 664

Chapter 665 10 million taels

Shen Anhe came back at noon, but he only took a change of clothes and entered the palace again. During this period, he didn't even get to meet Sheng Xi.However, he left a message to Sheng Xi, telling her not to worry too much. The imperial court had already sent generals there and had also begun sending troops.At least for now, Luo Jing is safe.

Sheng Xi frowned slightly after receiving the message. Luojing was safe. After all, it was the capital of a country.But Arukun has great ambitions. Now that he has entered the pass, he must rush to Luo Jing.Therefore, if the front line collapses, it is inevitable that Luo Jing will be massacred.

Sheng Xi looked at Ying'an Hall behind him, thinking about the new house they had just moved into. At this moment, the thoughts of family and country suddenly became three-dimensional in his heart, which was clearer than when he went to Mobei before.

Xueyuan flew back two days later and brought back the news from Azhi.

Affected by the destruction of Yanqiu Pass, Hexi Wei was also affected.However, Li Changyu and Sheng Nan were not sent to support Yanqiu Pass, but this was only temporary, because just when Azhi sent the message, Arukun led people to invade two more cities southward.

In addition, except for one of the doctors previously trained by Hexi Wei's Ying'an Hall who stayed for consultation, several others were recruited into the army to serve as military doctors temporarily.

Sheng Xi put away the note and looked up at the sky.

At this time, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, and a row of wild geese flew past.The sweet and rich smell of pastries floated in the air, and from time to time, children's laughter and play could be heard in my ears.It all looks and sounds so beautiful, and there is no hint of war at all.However, Sheng Xi knew that if war really came, the beautiful land in front of him would be torn apart in an instant. Both adults and children would face displacement again.

So does their family.

It's just that Sheng Xi doesn't want to.

After two more nervous days, Shen Anhe finally came out of the palace, bringing with him the news issued by the court.

"The treasury is too empty and this battle is urgent. The emperor can only call on all the major families and the people to donate money and food." Shen Anhe said to Sheng Xi while taking off his official robe.

Sheng Xi took the clothes he took off and asked, "How much is enough?"

Shen Anhe shook his head: "Since the war started, the consumption has not been determined yet. Naturally, the more the better." Shen Anhe paused and looked at Sheng Xi, "Sheng Xi, I..."

"I'll donate!" Sheng Xi interrupted Shen Anhe directly before he could speak.

Shen Anhe opened his mouth, and after a while he squeezed out a sentence: "I will earn more money in the future!"

Sheng Xi laughed when he heard this: "Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Shen to pay off my debt!"

Shen Anhe took a deep look at the little woman in front of him, pursed his thin lips hard, and finally hugged her without saying anything.

Notices donating silver and food were posted not only on the palace walls, but also on the city gates.So that all the people passing by can see it.Although the common people knew that the court was short of money, they didn't expect it to be so short. Now that the war has begun, they have to donate money and food. What should be done if this happens later?
Some people and even many noble families were secretly discussing this matter, and their respect for the imperial court was obviously insufficient.

Emperor Qiwen had expected this situation, but he had no choice. There was really nothing he could do.The late emperor did not leave him much money. On the contrary, he had a lot of debts.Otherwise, he, the emperor, would not be so aggrieved, unable to open his mouth even if he wanted to borrow money from others.

This method was proposed by Dai Song, the Minister of Household Affairs. Emperor Qiwen knew his little thoughts, but he could only pretend that he couldn't see them.The Dai family is an aristocratic family, and he has been suppressing the growth of the aristocratic family. If there is another wave of trouble now, then everyone will wait and kill Alukun together!

As soon as the fundraising came out, a table was set up in front of the Dali Temple, and people came to donate one after another.But after a whole day, the donations were mostly one or two taels, or even one or two copper coins, and the most were only a few hundred taels, but these hundreds of taels were actually a small number, and they were all donated by some wealthy households.Although no matter how much the donation is, it is everyone's sincere wish, but at this time, this intention is obviously insufficient.

Lu Qiu, the minister of Dali Temple, accepted this hot potato and secretly hid at the door all day watching people collect donations, but every time he came back disappointed.

Lu Qiu felt very sad because he felt that he could not complete the task assigned by the emperor.Although the emperor did not set an upper or lower limit for him, it was too little, and it was really hard to tolerate!
And just when Lu Qiu was depressed, a person representing Yingantang Pharmacy suddenly appeared and offered 10 taels!
"More, more, more, more? 10 taels?" Lu Qiu thought that he heard wrongly, and asked his subordinates with wide eyes, "Are you still thinking that I am not worried enough to make such a joke for me at this time?"

"Sir, I'm not joking! It's really 10 taels! The 10 taels of banknotes are stamped by Quanmao Bank. I'm afraid there's something wrong, so I specially sent someone from Quanmao Bank to confirm. It's absolutely true. Indeed!" the man said anxiously.

"Seriously?" Lu Qiu wanted to cry and laugh at his words, "Really 10 taels? Ying'an Hall?"

"Seriously! It's absolutely true!" the subordinate assured again.

This time, Lu Qiu really laughed out loud. He smiled and couldn't help but raise his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, okay! Ying'antang! Not bad! Ying'antang!"

It is said that it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide help in times of need.At this time, no one would want to keep some extra money as a guarantee, so that if the city gate is breached one day, they can run away with the family's money. 10 taels. Ying'an Hall opened not long ago, right?Is this all the revenue being donated?

Yishang!Yishang!At a time when the country is in crisis, this move is truly admirable!
Think about that girl, she is only a teenager. Such feelings are beyond the comparison of ordinary people!

Lu Qiu immediately decided to promote Ying'an Hall's donation of 10 taels around Luojing City with drums and gongs for a whole day.

And Ying'antang's words can be regarded as an example. With so much money, for wealthy families from various aristocratic families, she is simply attracting hatred.They originally thought of donating a thousand taels of 800 taels, but at most it would not exceed 10 taels.But who would have imagined that the owner of Ying'an Hall could actually make [-] taels in one go! !
What the hell, how much money is burning her!There is so much money, why not give it to them!

The news soon alarmed the palace. Emperor Qiwen was obviously stunned when he heard that Sheng Xi had donated 10 taels of silver. He subconsciously asked Cai Rang: "Is that girl Sheng Xi rich?"

Cai Rang hesitated for a moment before replying: "Your Majesty, if my servant's calculation is correct, these 10 taels may belong to the entire Ying'antang family."

Emperor Qiwen raised his eyebrows and murmured: "This girl really donated her family wealth!"
