The Salty Little Cannon Fodder Was Targeted By the Prince

Chapter 456: Be a happy little salted fish

Du Wan nodded his head with a smile and motioned for him to continue.

The emperor whispered: "There are still some, but they all have places to go."

  “…” Du Wan was doubtful.

　　The money collected from corrupt officials filled the national treasury.

The emperor was very helpless. "This year there have been disasters everywhere. There was a snowstorm at the end of last year, a flood in the spring this year, a drought in the summer, and now there is a locust plague. I don't know how many counties have been affected by the locust plague."

Du Wan glanced at the emperor sympathetically, "Uncle, it's so difficult."

 The emperor nodded, "Think of an idea and collect some money to solve the urgent need."

“The government didn’t make any money from the last salt production?”

 “They are all idiots and they haven’t made any achievements yet.”

 “Then raise funds.”

 “Who is willing to take out money for no reason?”

"This needs to be modified." Du Wan gave a suggestion, "When the official comes forward to raise funds, many people will definitely wait and see at first. This requires a trustee, let this trustee come forward, speak more passionately, and find a few people. I personally agree and publicize this person’s deeds, so I’m not afraid that no one will follow suit.”

 “Find someone to make a fake donation?”

 “If you really want to donate, will you come forward to ask for help?”

　　　…” The emperor’s face turned red.

 Practice? Let him come? !

Du Wan blinked, as if he saw that his uncle was embarrassed?

 How strange!

Du Wanqing coughed, and then whispered: "This is not the point. The point is that once the official comes forward, the people will not be afraid that no one will follow suit for the sake of reputation."

 “That’s true.” The emperor agreed.

Du Wan said with excitement, "At that time, the Imperial College, major academies, young masters in the capital, even dandies, noble girls from various families, and various small circles can start it. This is the time to test your character. "

The emperor listened carefully, it was true.

Du Wan rolled her eyes and said, "Uncle, doesn't the official newspaper have a residence report? It couldn't be sold in the past, so it was all at a loss. You can ask people to report the good deeds to the good people who donated money, and remember to write down how much money and food were donated. . Add some gossip that everyone likes to hear... Hehe. Don’t worry about not making money."

 This way you can eat melon openly.

 The emperor patted her head gently.

This head melon seed is very useful, but she did not expect that there would be so many disasters. Rumors began to spread outside that the fate of the Qin Dynasty was about to end, and that he, the emperor, was fatuous and incompetent. If he continued like this, he would write a self-incriminating edict. The emperor was unwilling, very unwilling.

 Otherwise, he would not seek medical treatment in a hurry.

Du Wan didn't think as much as the emperor, but it didn't stop her from gaining the emperor's favor. "I can donate my private house, and the things my uncle gave me in the past can also be auctioned off. They must be very valuable."

“Wanwan, my uncle’s love for you has not been in vain.” The emperor was very moved.

It’s not that he caught her collecting wool alone, it’s actually that he is worried about money and food now. “Then I’ll leave the auction to you, how about it?”

 “Inappropriate.”

 “What’s wrong?”

 “It’s best to let my cousin do it.”

 “Hmm?” The emperor was surprised, “How do you say it?”

Du Wan whispered: "The people have been affected by the disaster. As a princess, my cousin has stood up. It represents the royal family's attention to the victims. I have stood up, what should I do about my cousin?"

A strange color flashed across the emperor's eyes.

What to do? I'm afraid I'll be **** off.

The emperor had long known that the two of them could not stand each other, and their grievances were not small. It can be said that the emperor did not expect that she would consider her cousin in this way. Comparing the two, Du Wan seemed extremely majestic, so his affection for Du Wan gradually increased.

 The emperor, who was successful in thinking crookedly, didn’t know Du Wan’s true thoughts at all. Fundraising is not an easy job, and she doesn’t want to be in the limelight or earn some fame just by working hard.

 Fame is a good thing, but it is also a shackles. Some people can use a good reputation to make their lives better; some people live more and more tiredly because of a good reputation.

Du Wan’s dream is to be a happy little salted fish.

Of course the reasons why she dared to do this were, firstly, to gain the emperor's favor, and secondly, because she was sure that Qin Yuyu could not threaten her.

Du Wan left the palace.

 The people sent by the Queen to stop Du Wan were a step too late.

Du Wan didn't want to deal with her, so he ran away quickly. When he returned to the princess's mansion, he went to see the eldest princess and chatted with her about the affairs in the palace.

The eldest princess had a mysterious look in her eyes, "You have donated your private house, are you a little money-crazed person willing to part with it?"

 “What? Why did I become a money-lover?” Du Wan was furious.

The eldest princess leaned forward and backward with giggles.

Du Wan pouted, "Mother, it's boring to have to pay for the things given by the emperor when you can't sell them. I use them to please my uncle, so I can make the best use of them."

"It depends on what you said." The eldest princess pointed her finger at her forehead, "But the tree is big and attracts the wind, do you really want to donate so much in public?"

 “Who said I wanted to donate in public?”

Du Wan was so stupid that he donated a large amount of money in public.

Even if she donates all her wealth, others will still think that if she can donate so much, she will definitely have more. "I donate all the things given by the emperor in the name of my uncle."

 “That’s really smart. Mom, I’ll get some more for you.”

The eldest princess quickly understood the key.

 When Prince Consort Du returned home, the eldest princess told him about the matter again, and he agreed very much.

As long as the Princess Mansion donates it in the name of the emperor, no matter how much it is donated, no one dares to say anything, and it can still be sold well to the emperor.

 The locust plague is being controlled outside the city.

The official began to collect donations in the city and called on the people in the city to contribute. Those who have money can donate money. If you don’t have money, you can donate your extra old clothes, bedding, etc. to help more people in need.

　　Do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and good people will be rewarded.

Just as Du Wan thought, the emperor arranged for someone to do this.

 Someone took the lead in donating money and it was publicized.

 A few more people were arranged, and the effect was very good.

 Students from the Imperial College and major academies in the capital have organized donations.

In addition, Qin Yuyu stepped forward and united with some powerful children to set up a righteousness hall and hold an auction every day. It is said that it will only be held for half a month. The items in the auction are all valuables donated by everyone, and the proceeds will be Will be used for disaster relief.

  The Qin Yuyu auction was a success, which made her reputation much better.

The queen was very satisfied with this. What she was most satisfied with was that Du Wan, a stinky girl, did not come out to steal the limelight. "In order to support my daughter, I counted some things in the palace's warehouse that are not needed, made a list, and sent them to Yishan Hall."

“Thank you very much, Queen Mother. I have been worried about having nothing to auction recently.” Qin Yuyu has been feeling very happy recently, which has swept away the previous gloom.

The queen said happily, "There's more to this."

 So, the queen deliberately spread the news of the donation to the ears of the concubines.

She has done this, how can others stay out of it?

The concubines learned that even if they secretly scolded the queen, they would still send something to Yishantang.

As soon as the ladies in charge of each government received the news, they followed suit. Depending on their status, they can donate less under the current circumstances, but they cannot stop donating. Otherwise, when you go to a banquet next time and people find out that you didn’t donate, you will inevitably get the reputation of being stingy.

The eldest princess also sent someone to deliver some things to Yishan Hall.
