Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 866: ：They are all chess pieces
Ye Xiaoci wanted to worry about the face of Princess Shaoyi and King Wu Mu, so after seven points of the ceremony, he spared the remaining three points and politely invited Huang Wenxu and his party to sit down.
After tea, Xie Xun explained his purpose.
Ye Xiaoci smiled and did not beat around the bush: "Sweet potatoes can only be planted on a large scale around the Dragon Boat Festival. Millions of refugees have gathered in Liaodong, and they will not be resettled until May. The temperature continues to rise in May. Gao, if a plague breaks out, it will definitely spread throughout Liaodong, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Evacuation from the epidemic is already urgent."
Twenty percent of the Xie family's wealth would be no less than tens of millions. It is indeed a big deal. With such courage, the gentry have already lost a lot.
As soon as Xie Xun heard what he said, he knew that Mr. Ye was a practical person, and he couldn't help but feel reassured.
Ye Xiaoci changed the topic: "To be honest, Mr. Xie, I am also worried about this matter. This is a matter of great justice for Xie Mansion. It is the blessing of thousands of people in the north. After the refugees are settled properly, I will report to the court. , please take credit for Xie Mansion."
Xie Xun said quickly: "You should not be so complimentary. The imperial court has issued a national policy and the resettlement of refugees cannot be ignored. Everyone should follow it. This is what they should do."
Ye Xiaoci's eyes moved slightly. No matter how high-sounding his words were now, it would hurt a lot if the knife was scraped on the gentry's body.
The Xie Mansion is taking the lead, and it won't be long before Princess Shaoyi in "Yu Garden", who has just come to Xiangping and lives in a simple life, will take action.
When the gentry reacted, it was time to put the knife to their necks.
Smart people are often good at refuting people's hearts. They only need a chessboard, and all the chessboards are chess pieces. There is no need to personally end up playing the game, and to make mistakes with others.
Sure enough!
On the same day, word spread in Xiangping City that Princess Shaoyi made an appointment with Ningyuan General Mansion and Huang Mansion’s family members to go to Pudu Temple tomorrow to worship the Medicine Buddha and pray for the victims. She also bought shelters from the people in her own name. Related medicinal materials for the epidemic.
The Pharmacist Buddha holds a medicine pot in his left hand and a medicinal herb in his right hand. The "Pharmacist Sutra" says: "... when suffering from many diseases, such as thinness, spasm, dryness, yellow fever and other diseases; or being poisoned by nightmares and poisons; Maybe his life will be short, or he will die unexpectedly; in order to eliminate the suffering of these diseases and fulfill his wishes. At that time, the World Honored One entered Samadhi, which is called the eradication of the suffering of all sentient beings..."
Therefore, I also respect Medicine King Bodhisattva.
Shaoyi County mainly raises anti-epidemic medicinal materials, and its thoughts on preventing and treating epidemic diseases have been made clear to the public.
Once the news spread, the reputation of Princess Shaoyi as a saint spread throughout Xiangping again, spreading quickly from the Xiangping area like wings.
The Xie Mansion did its part and was the first to respond to Princess Shaoyi.
Prince Wu Mu’s Mansion released news that Xie’s Mansion donated 50% of their property to King Wu Mu to serve as military supplies for the You Army to protect the inside and deter the outside world.
The government also posted a notice, mentioning that 20% of the property of Xie Mansion will be used to purchase various anti-epidemic medicinal materials to prevent and treat epidemics after the disaster. The government and the people who govern the area should fully cooperate.
This incident caused an uproar in Xiangping City.
"How can those wealthy businessmen and gentry, all of whom are rich and ruthless, earn the hard-earned money of ordinary people, be willing to give up most of their wealth? Who knows how much property the Xie family has? Who knows how much has been donated? I don't know. , it’s just a trick to deceive the world and steal the name to fool the people.”
Is this kind of thing still rare in the north?
"This can't be true. As far as I know, the Xie Mansion has a reputation as a benevolent businessman. Let's not talk about the distant past, let's talk about the early floods in Zhejiang and the subsequent drought in the north. The Xie Mansion generously donated money and tried its best to help the victims. , Princess Shaoyi is a saintly and kind person, and Xie Mansion, as a foreigner, cannot really be those people who deceive the world and steal their reputation."
"Yes, no matter how much they donate, as long as they really donate, I will thank the government for their righteousness. This is countless generations better than those penniless gentry in the north."
"..."
Everyone holds different opinions on this matter.
"The Xie Mansion is the richest in the world. With 70% of the net worth, how much money will it cost? Real gold and silver cannot be circulated, so they must be placed in banks. Behind the banks is the imperial court. Banks everywhere are under the supervision of the government. Xie Mansion If you want to donate money, you must go to the bank's account. The relationship here is very big. The Xie Mansion just wants to make a fraud. It can't fool the court, the government, and all the forces behind the bank. The Xie Mansion dares to say this blatantly. , I think it’s almost the same.”
"Brother, what you said makes sense. With such a big commotion, many things cannot be covered up. This is not like real money and silver. When you lift it out of the house, who knows what is inside."
"Bank notes need to go through the imperial court and the huge power behind the bank. There are so many people handling such a large sum of money, how can it be easily covered up?"
"Who do you think King Wu Mu is? If the Xie Mansion can fool the people, can it also fool King Wu Mu and the court? Anyway, I don't believe it. King Wu Mu will join forces with the Xie Mansion and fool the people together."
There was a sudden silence in the field, everyone looked at each other, and an incredible thought came to their minds.
"So, the Xie Mansion really wants to donate?"
"80% yes."
"..."
There was silence again in the field, and soon there were exclamations one after another, all impressed by the righteousness of the Xie family.
With contrast, there is harm.
The righteous actions of the Xie Mansion further highlighted the gentry's unkindness and injustice.
Under Huang Wenwen's deliberate arrangement, rumors soon spread in Xiangping City. Within half a day, they actually turned into a wave of crusade against the wealthy gentry.
Moreover, this wave of noise has the tendency to become more and more intense and spread to the surrounding areas.
Huang Wenwen reported the situation outside.
Yu Youyao was not surprised by this: "After the emperor of this dynasty ascended the throne, he personally launched the Northern Expedition, which resulted in the annihilation of the entire 800,000-strong army. After that, Beidi's nuisance on the border intensified. The people were in danger and suffered heavy casualties."
"This situation was not gradually improved until King Zhou Li guarded Youzhou. In the next ten years, King Zhou Li achieved brilliant results in the northern border. The Di people were afraid of King Zhou Li's bravery and retreated to Fifty miles away from Xiaoyu Pass, the common people in the northern border also regarded King Zhou Li as the God of War in the northern border."
"King Zhou Li was determined to improve the situation in which the gentry colluded and oppressed the people. However, he just came to the northern border~IndoMTL.com~. He did not have a deep foundation in the northern border and was helpless in the court. He was gradually hampered by the gentry. King Zhou Li The situation in the north is getting more and more difficult."
"Later, the Di people invaded aggressively, and the You army was defeated one after another due to lack of supplies. Only then did the gentry realize the seriousness of the matter. Regardless of whether they win or lose this battle, what awaits them is the imperial court's recruitment of troops to hold them accountable."
If they lose, the court will definitely investigate the reasons behind it thoroughly. The gentry will become the culprits and will inevitably die.
After this battle is won, King Zhou Li will definitely go to Beijing to face the saint. The court will reward those who have made meritorious deeds, and at the same time, those who have made mistakes will be punished. The gentry still cannot escape the blame.
??When a person wants to do evil, it may be an impulsive thought, but this kind of impulse cannot come out of thin air. There must be many complicated reasons, which ultimately lead to the final evil consequences. The death of King Zhou Li was like this.
