Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 194 Oscar-level performance

Jia Qiong's words were astonishing and instantly made him the center of attention.

Emperor Longqing began to cooperate with Jia Qiong in acting. He said with a surprised expression: "Jia Aiqing, you said you have a way to save millions of victims. Are you serious about this?"

Jia Qiong said loudly: "There is no joke before you. As long as the emperor gives me enough support, I will be able to save millions of people."

Emperor Long Qing immediately said: "If you can really do it, I will support you unreservedly. Let me tell you your method first."

Jia Qiong nodded, raised his hands and said, "I am reporting to the Emperor that I plan to establish a business and implement a major project.

In this way, work can be used to provide relief, so that the victims who come to the capital to beg for food can support themselves and have a way to survive.

At the same time, the money earned can be used to help more victims so that they can survive the disaster smoothly.

I promise that all victims who come to the capital can be rescued by the company without the court spending a penny.

We are willing to hand over [-]% of the profits from the business to the inner treasury free of charge to help more victims.

However, the capital required for this business is very large, at least 500 million taels of silver.

I spent all my wealth and borrowed a lot from friends and relatives, but I could only scrape together 250 million taels of silver.

I can be willing to invest half of the capital, and I hope that the emperor and the ministers can invest in the remaining half.

This is not only to save the common people, but also to earn a lot of profits for everyone. It is the best of both worlds. "

Emperor Long Qing frowned and asked: "If you hand over [-]% of the profits for free, how can you ensure that the business can make money?"

Jia Qiong said: "I would like to issue a military order!
If the company cannot make a profit within half a year, I am willing to die to thank the world! "

"it is good!"

Emperor Longqing patted the armrest of the dragon chair, stood up with emotion and said: "Jia Aiqing is so responsible, she is really my humerus minister.

I only have 30 taels of silver left in my inner treasury, and I will leave it all to you. "

Jia Qiong bowed and said, "I will live up to the emperor's trust!"

Most of the officials were shocked when they heard this, thinking that Jia Qiong was so shameless. Isn't this a disguised form of forcing everyone to donate money?

To say it in such a high-sounding way is simply shameless.

After the two leading actors, Long Qingdi and Jia Qiong, finished their performances, it was time for the supporting actors to appear.

Prince Yigong was the first to stand up and said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world.

Jia Qiong, I will give you 20 taels to help you. "

Jia Qiong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is very righteous, but please atone for your sins.

In order to give everyone the opportunity to make money, Chen thought that each person would buy up to a hundred shares, with each share worth 1000 taels of silver.

Therefore, Your Majesty, you can only invest up to 10 taels. "

Prince Yigong seemed to find it difficult to understand when he heard this, but he still said: "Then I will take 10 taels. If it is not enough, ask me for it."

"Thank you, Lord."

Jia Qiong bowed to thank Prince Yigong and glanced at Li Shirui again.

Mr. Li Ge was cursing in his mind at the moment, saying to Jia Qiong, this bastard, one share was obviously 1000 taels, yet you told me that one share was 2 taels.

Doesn't this make all officials hate me? I am really unworthy of a man!

But what he said was out, and he couldn't go back on his word.

Li Shirui glared at Jia Qiong bitterly and said bravely: "As a cabinet bachelor, I can't just sit idly by.

Just contribute 2 taels, which can be considered as contributing to the victims. "

As soon as Li Shirui finished speaking, he felt shocked looks coming from around him.

Especially those from the Fujian Party, whose eyes wanted to kill him with a knife.

The meaning in that look is very clear: obviously it is enough to invest 1000 taels, but if you open your mouth and get 2 taels, it shows your loyalty, right?

Jia Qiong immediately said: "Everyone knows that Mr. Li Ge is honest and upright.

To be able to spend so much money this time to help the victims is truly a sign of the prime minister's magnanimity. "

Emperor Longqing also nodded and said: "Mr. Li Ge has a heart for the world, and he is worthy of the example set by his ministers."

Jia Qiong added: "Your Majesty, I need an account book to record the amount of shares invested by the ministers."

Emperor Longqing said: "Yes, it is to be recorded. Dai Quan, prepare the things for Jia Aiqing."

Dai Quan was obviously prepared, and he immediately ordered people to bring in tables and chairs, complete with pen and ink account books.Jia Qiong sat on the chair and started recording. When the ministers saw this, they all realized that this was obviously a double act between the emperor and Jia Qiong.

Everyone looked at each other in shock, thinking that it would be impossible if they didn't bleed this time, but how much should they pay?
While everyone was thinking about it, the agents arranged by Jia Qiong began to appear one after another.

"My minister Yun Guangshi has received the emperor's favor and is willing to spend all his wealth to invest 10 taels in stock to help the victims!"

"My love for your loyalty is commendable, I am really touched."

"Your Majesty Wang Yu is willing to invest 5 taels of shares and do his part for the people."

"Wang Aiqing is worthy of being from a famous family, and has the demeanor of your father."

"Old minister Sheng Bingbin is so short of money that he can only afford 1 taels, which is really shameful."

"Old Minister has been honest throughout his life. How could I not know that having this heart is enough."

"Your Majesty Jia Zheng is willing to pay 5 taels."

"Jia Aiqing is worthy of being a descendant of Duke Rong, responsible and well-organized!"

"My minister Yang Sicheng is willing to pay 2 taels."

"My minister Wei Wentong is willing to pay 1 taels."

……

"My minister Xu Mu is willing to pay 3000 taels."

"My ministers Tao Dachun, Song Mian, and Zhou Xi are willing to jointly contribute 1000 taels."

……

With this group of trustees, although most of the ministers were reluctant, they still had to reluctantly take shares one after another.

Emperor Longqing is watching from above. Everyone else has paid. If you don't go out, aren't you afraid of being shoehorned in by the emperor?

Especially those high-ranking officials and dignitaries, it is not enough to pay less.

Several palaces start at least 5 taels, and nobles start at least 3 taels.

Civil servants contribute less money, and some are indeed poor.

Several first-grade bachelors will collectively invest [-] in shares, second-grade at least [-], and third-grade at least [-].

Some low-level civil servants really had no money, and Jia Qiong and Emperor Longqing didn't count on them.

However, some people still bought shares, and some even pooled their money together to buy one share.

In the end, Jia Qiong collected 2808 million taels, which was more than 38 taels.

Emperor Longqing, Longyan, was delighted and said: "Today, all your beloved ministers donated generously to save the people from hanging upside down. It is really a blessing to the country.

Jia Qiong, I have collected the money. Now that you have issued a military order, I will entrust you with full authority to handle disaster relief matters near the capital. "

Jia Qiong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, in order to ensure the efficiency of the disaster relief work, we also need to ensure that the company's major projects can be carried out smoothly.

Chen suggested setting up a separate department to be responsible for disaster relief work and engineering construction.

I hope to mobilize a group of elite personnel from various ministries to help me complete this task. "

Emperor Longqing nodded and said: "Disaster relief is now the top priority of the imperial court.

I said that I will definitely satisfy your request.

From now on, a new Department of Mutual Aid will be established under the Hanlin Academy.

Jia Qiong was appointed as the Fifth Rank Sizheng and was responsible for disaster relief matters in Guanzhong.

All other yamen must fully cooperate. If there are seconded personnel, seeking assistance and other matters, they must provide full assistance and cannot shirk the responsibility. "

After hearing this, Jia Qiong knelt down and thanked him and said: "I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!"

Your Majesty, the General Affairs Department of the General Affairs Department has many general affairs, and it is inconvenient to work in the Hanlin Academy. Could you please give me another yamen. "

"Oh, where do you want it?"

"Sifang Pavilion."

"Precise play."

In the area at the back of the civil service team, Tao Dachun and others watched this scene with excited expressions, which could be called an Oscar-level performance.

The big plan Jia Qiong mentioned is really going to be implemented, and they finally don't have to study books all day long.
