"Back to the palace, Hongyu will make arrangements quickly. The Ai family will set off back to the palace today." Liang Meng'an said.

in the hall.

"Prince Li is missing and his whereabouts are unknown. He must have died. Please ask the emperor to hold a funeral for Prince Li as soon as possible." An official said.

"If his whereabouts are unknown, he may not have been killed. How can we hold a funeral now when the disaster relief is not completed." Another official said.

People from the two schools of thought argued with each other in the court.

The dispute in the court quickly spread to Liang Meng.

"Prince Li was just swept away by the flood. He wants to be seen alive and his body is dead. How can he hold a funeral before it is confirmed? Besides, shouldn't the focus at this time be on how to provide disaster relief?" Liang Meng dreamed.

"In my opinion, discussing disaster relief is the most important thing. There are so many people affected by the disaster in Li County that the national treasury may be insufficient. How to raise disaster relief money is what the court should discuss today." Prince Su said, Occasionally he would cough.

"Prince Li's whereabouts are unknown and his body has not been seen yet. How can we conclude that he has been killed? How can we hold a funeral now?" Prince Jing said.

After the two princes spoke, there was silence in the court, and no one was talking about the funeral of Prince Li.

"What the tenth emperor uncle and the eldest brother said is absolutely true. The death of Prince Li has not yet been determined, so the funeral cannot be held prematurely. Today, the court should discuss how to provide disaster relief and how to raise funds for disaster relief." The emperor said.

The officials discussed disaster relief in the court hall and raised funds for disaster relief.

"There was no consensus on how to raise disaster relief funds?" Liang Meng said.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the two princes, and various officials have been discussing all morning with no result," Hongyu reported.

Liang dreamed that everything involving money has always been difficult since ancient times.

Liang Meng thought about how to raise disaster relief funds.

Seeing the Queen Mother's appearance, Hongyu quietly left the room and stood guard outside the door.

"Let officials raise money? Let the emperor's relatives contribute? No, no, how much can be raised in this way? How can they be willing to let officials use their personal belongings to supplement the dynasty? If you can't use their personal belongings to subsidize the dynasty, then... Yes, it is very feasible, just Let's do it this way." Liang Meng thought as his mind wandered.

"Red jade, red jade, let's go to the place where the Ai family will go to discuss politics." Liang Meng said.

"Yes."

Liang Meng and Hong Yu came to the political discussion office. When the eunuch announced that he was about to speak, Liang Meng stopped him and said, "Don't interrupt the political discussion between the emperor and Prince Su and Prince Jing."

"Yes."

Liang Meng slowly approached the room and heard it.

"It's a matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. It's really hard for these officials to come up with money. I think I killed a few officials and ransacked their homes to solve the problem of raising money." Prince Jing said.

"How can you act like this? I'm afraid it will make the court panic." Prince Su said.

"If this doesn't work, what should I do if it doesn't work?" Prince Jing said.

The emperor just sat in the front without saying a word, watching the discussion between Prince Jing and Prince Su. He seemed to have no dignity at all and was just a puppet emperor.

Prince Jing and Prince Su were already accustomed to the emperor's obedience. Liang Meng was also accustomed to it and did not doubt the emperor's relationship with the two princes. He did not care too much.

The puppet-like emperor sat at the front, watching the quarrels between Prince Jing and Prince Su. He looked at the seats that should have been for Prince Yong and Prince Li, but they were now empty and lost in memories.

"Your Majesty, you are still too weak. You must be patient and show weakness when facing the three princes. Prince Yong is dead, and the three princes are old. There is no guarantee that they will not pass away. Your Majesty, you are still young. You You must be patient and show weakness.

Don't act rashly before taking office, recharge your batteries, hide your strength and bide your time. Your Majesty, you must be a lion pretending to be asleep and just wait for the moment of counterattack. Your Majesty, you must remember that only by making the enemy underestimate him can you kill the enemy with one blow. "The emperor's biological mother said weakly.

"Mother, don't worry, my sons and ministers will definitely keep this in mind," the emperor cried bitterly.

Prince Su fell into silence.

"Let the officials collect donations," Prince Su said.

"No." Liang Meng said in a voice.

"See the Queen Mother." Everyone looked towards the voice and saluted when they saw it was the Queen Mother.

"Exemption."

"Why did the Queen Mother say this? If officials collect donations, it will give them an opportunity to make money openly. They will use the name of fundraising to line their own pockets." Liang Meng said.

"That's what the Queen Mother said." Prince Jing said.

Prince Su said helplessly: "If we don't do this, how can we raise funds for disaster relief?"

The crowd was silent.

"Could it be that the Queen Mother has some countermeasures when she comes?" Prince Jing asked.

Prince Jing opened his mouth and drew everyone's attention to Liang Meng.

"The Ai family really thought of a plan and came here to discuss it with the emperor and prince." Liang Meng said.

"The Queen Mother, please speak." Prince Su said.

"Everyone in the Royal Academy is rich in wealth. What would happen if the disaster relief issue in Li County was handed over to the Royal Academy with full authority?" Liang Meng said.

"A woman's reputation is the most important. If your daughter has a reputation for benevolence during disaster relief, it will be great for the entire family, and she can get a good marriage." Prince Su said.

Most of the women from the Royal Academy have noble families and will enter the palace to become queens, imperial concubines, concubines, concubines... and position selection requires a game. If you have a good reputation in disaster relief, you will have the opportunity to compete for a good position. Even if you don't enter the palace, you can marry into a wealthy family if you give it a try, and other women in the family can also marry well.

"This is a good idea." Prince Jing said.

"Then how can we get them to raise funds?" Prince Su asked.

"Just teach this matter to the Royal Academy. As for how they raise funds and how to provide disaster relief, they need to think about it." Liang Meng said.

Everyone agrees.

"It's just as the queen mother said." The emperor said.

"Mother, if the Royal Academy can do it, why not the Dajin Military Academy?" Prince Jing said.

"Men are different from women. Only women can do this." Liang Meng said.

The emperor's face was expressionless, as if he didn't understand.

Prince Su nodded clearly.

Prince Jing thought in confusion, then slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.

Liang dreamed.

Why do officials become famous all over the world for providing disaster relief, but officials never care and never dare to ask for it?
The answer is that great achievements overwhelm the master.

Whether it is a military general or a civil servant, as long as his reputation is too loud, it will endanger the imperial power, endanger his immediate superiors, and eventually lead to death.

But women are different. Women will not become officials in the court and always rely on men. Therefore, a high reputation will only help. Just like people never care about how delicious the food is or how beautiful the clothes are, because they know that they are good and ultimately serve them. to oneself.

Therefore, only the Royal Academy can do this. If the Dajin Military Academy does it, it will have military power and be feared by the emperor. If it has a reputation? I'm afraid it's not because he doesn't want to die quickly enough.

Liang Meng did not dare to delay, so he left the palace and went to the Royal Academy. It was finally agreed that the disaster relief in Li County would be solely undertaken by the Royal Academy. Liang Meng and the Nine Kings went to Li County to take charge.

Royal Academy.

All the noble ladies were gathered in the hall.

"What happened? Are we gathered here?" Chu You Xun asked.

"A concubine is a concubine? The flood in Li County caused the disappearance of Prince Li, and the people were not aware of the suffering." Liang Shuer looked back and forth between Liu Xingzhu and Chu Youxun with arrogant eyes.

Chu You Xun also felt that she was embarrassed, so she pursed her lips and said nothing.

"So what if I don't know? Then do you know why we are concentrated here?" Liu Xingzhu said.

Liang Shuer said: "How could I know."

"The legitimate daughter of a famous family is nothing more than this." Liu Xingzhu said.

"You~~" Liang Shuer said angrily.

Liang Shuer angrily turned around and ignored Liu Xingzhu and others.

"All of you are daughters of famous families in Dajin. Now the people of Li County are suffering from floods. As a citizen of Dajin, how can we just sit idly by and do nothing. The emperor has specially handed over the relief of Li County to the Royal Academy. The emperor trusts the Royal Academy of Aijia. , how could the Ai family let down the emperor?

From today onwards, the Royal Academy is fully responsible for disaster relief in Li County. Everyone, the Aijia needs you to apply everything you have learned at the Royal Academy to the disaster relief in Li County. The incident in Li County ends the reputation of the Royal Academy and the reputation of all famous ladies. It will definitely become famous among the people. "

Liang Meng watched the expressions on the faces of the women.

Han Jing'er ignored it.

Zheng Wanyi is determined to win.

Liang Shuer looked at the arrogance of Liu Xingzhu and Chu Youxun.

Jiao Zhenzhen's shrewdness.

Fang Hui is confident.

Jia Bingbing’s grief. Jing Huan is eager to try.

Tuoba Lanrou's cowardice.

Sun Qingwu didn't care.

Liu Xingzhu's thoughts.

Chu Youxun was worried.

"Everyone write down your plans for disaster relief in Li County on bamboo slips and tell them to the Ai family one by one." Liang Meng said.

Liang dreamed of modern reporting and decisively applied it to many students.

"May I ask the Queen Mother, how do you understand Li County's disaster relief plan?" Fang Hui said.

"The Li County disaster relief plan is what are you going to do in Li County? How to raise funds, what to raise, how to resettle the affected people, how to provide medical treatment to the people, etc." Liang Mengdao.

"The Queen Mother, I wonder what will happen if I inform the Queen Mother about Li County's disaster relief plan?" Zheng Wanyi said.

"The Ai family hasn't thought about it yet. You should make plans for Li County first. I've seen the Ai family and think about it." Liang Meng said.

"Yes."

"It's so difficult to write." Jing Huan thought gloomily.

I saw everyone writing.

"Sister Xingzhu, can you show it to Jing Huan?" Jing Huan said in a flattering manner.

"No, no," Liu Xingzhu said.

Jing Huan was disappointed and saw that everyone was writing, so he had no choice but to write.

After listening to everyone's report, Liang Meng thought alone.

"Some of these ladies from aristocratic families have no idea of ​​raising money." Liang Meng helplessly looked at the bamboo slips of Jing Huan, Liang Shu'er, Lan Rou, and Jia Bingbing.

"Auction to raise money." Liang Meng looked at the bamboo slips of Liu Xingzhu and Fang Hui.

"Chunchun donation." Liang Meng looked at the bamboo slips of Zheng Wanyi and Liu Zizhu and shook his head.

"Pure donation is not possible, but raising money through auction is possible." Liang dreamed.

He then ordered Hongyu to spread the news about the auction held by the Royal Academy to raise money for disaster relief in Li County.

Instruct Hong Yu to spread Fang Hui's name.

Liang Meng dreamed of Liu Xingzhu's future life and felt that it would be better for her name to be unknown, so she only gave out Fang Hui's name.

"The ladies from the Royal Academy will hold an auction to raise money for the people affected by the disaster in Li County." People talked about the news.

"Fang Hui, the daughter of the Fang family, is quick-thinking and proposes an auction to raise money for the people affected by the disaster." People were talking about it.

"The daughter of the Fang family is really kind-hearted."

"The Fang family really teaches their daughters well."

……

Fang Hui's name spread throughout the imperial city for a while.

"My son Fang Hui, you did a beautiful job." Mr. Fang said happily.

"Hui'er, this time you really gave our father Fang face. How is it compared to the daughter born by that concubine?" Mrs. Fang said proudly.

"Madam, madam, a concubine is a concubine, how can she be compared with Hui'er." Mr. Fang coaxed.

"The Fang family is so proud that they told Shu'er that this auction will help them raise more money than others." Master Liang said.

All the young ladies in the house are also trying their best to gain fame in the auction house.

"Your Majesty, your strategy has made all the ladies very excited. Hong Yu admires it." Hong Yu said.

"It's also a desperate move to raise money." Liang Meng said.

The ladies from each family put their jewelry, knitting and embroidery up for auction.

"Although it is being auctioned for disaster relief, the things taken out must be acceptable." Liang Shuer held her jade bracelet and said to Chu Youhun and Liu Xingzhu.

Chu Youhun lowered her head in humiliation, not as cold and tough as before.

Liu Xingzhu was angry but speechless for a moment.

Jing Huan placed two exquisite wooden boxes in front of Chu Youxun and Liu Xingzhu, and opened the wooden boxes to reveal an emerald hairpin and an emerald necklace.

"The things I gave to my two sisters will be auctioned off," Jing Huan said.

Jing Huan looked at Liang Shuer arrogantly.

Tuoba Lanrou also placed two wooden boxes in front of Chu Youxun and Liu Xingzhu, and opened the wooden boxes to reveal two luminous pearls.

Everyone was shocked to see Ye Mingzhu.

"You two are just going to put it up for auction. If it's not enough, just ask."

Liang Shuer left in despair.

The four remaining people looked at each other and smiled.

At the time of the auction, the house was full of guests, some cheering for their own daughters, and some spending large sums of money to win the girl's attention.

Everyone wanted to gain fame for their daughter, so they spent money on the auction items. In the end, everyone spent roughly the same amount of money.

"The Royal Academy has raised a lot of money for the disaster relief people in Li County. I would like to thank all the adults, wealthy businessmen and princes."

All the adults couldn't help but vomited blood when they heard that their daughter was not famous, and they all complained about other adults.

After the auction.

Royal Academy.

Liang Meng looked at the delivered copper coins, the Royal Academy woman who kept the accounts, and felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Huh?" Chu Youxun, who was standing in front of the wooden box containing the copper coins, picked up the coins and asked in confusion.

When Fang Hui saw Chu Youxun's confusion, she walked in and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, maybe I was wrong. Why do I feel that this copper coin is lighter than before." Chu You Xun said.

Fang Hui picked up the copper coin and checked it: "It seems a little light, and I'm a little unsure. How can the copper coin be light?"

"Qingwu, you wrote the word wrong." Jia Bingbing said.

Seeing that Sun Qingwu didn't respond, he said again: "Qingwu, you wrote the word wrong."

"Oh, it was indeed written wrong. Thank you Bingbing." Sun Qingwu said after reacting.

"Yes, we must have remembered it wrong." Chu Youxin said.

Liang Meng looked at the two confused people and asked, "What happened?"

Seeing the Queen Mother's inquiry, Fang Hui said: "To tell the Queen Mother, we thought this copper coin was light, but we thought we must have remembered it wrong. How can a copper coin become lighter?"

Chu You Xun nodded.

"As long as nothing happens, keep going." Liang Meng said.

Sun Qingwu relaxed and immersed himself in his own affairs.

Liang Meng thought in his heart that the copper coins had become lighter, so he had to check them carefully.

Liang Meng calmly arranged for Hongyu to check whether the copper coins had become lighter.

None of the famous ladies paid attention to this little episode.

a few days later.

"Your Majesty, Hongyu, went to check it quietly and found that the copper coin seemed lighter than before." Hongyu said.

"Is this true for all boxes of copper coins?" Liang Meng asked.

"If I tell you, the copper coins in all the boxes are indeed mixed with normal copper coins." Hongyu said.

"All the copper coins come from the bank?" Liang Meng said.

"To tell you the truth, the money for adults' purchases will be paid by Yongtong Bank." Hongyu said.

"Yongtong Bank." Liang Meng said.
