Distressed Young Woman Transmigrates: Wangfei Who Defies the Imperial Edict Chapter 88: Design courtier donation (3)
Yan Chi was also very straightforward, "The people are suffering from floods, Yan Chi can't bear to watch the people suffer, I will donate 100,000 taels of gold."
"Chun Ri, write down the amount that King Beiqi wants to donate." Xiao Yao smiled and turned to Feng Luoxuan, with a sly gleam in his watery eyes, "Although the whole world belongs to the emperor, but this Relief for the disaster victims is all about working together, and you, Brother Emperor, will agree."
The emperor stared at her deeply, with a trace of astonishment and indescribable tenderness flashing across the dark eyes under the long ink eyebrows, Xiao Yao felt uncomfortable watching. She screamed in her heart, Feng Luoxuan, I worked so hard to raise funds for disaster relief not for you, please don't get me wrong, don't show me the wrong feelings.
"It is my people who are suffering. Of course, I will give my full support. I will draw 500,000 gold from the royal family's annual expenses for disaster relief."
Xiao Yao nodded in satisfaction, her ultimate goal had been achieved, she stood up and looked at the courtiers with a smile, "I wonder how much the ministers are going to donate? My palace is here to make a registration. As the parents of the people, Seeing that your children are displaced, I can't bear it, and you must try your best to help the people of Lingzhou get through this flood.”
These fat-brained Beijing officials are not wealthy, and if they don't squeeze some gold and silver from them, they will be sorry for the common people.
The emperor and King Beiqi set the best example. These ministers were reluctant and dared not say no to donate. Prime Minister Yang took the lead in donating 5,000 taels, and then everyone could only express their opinions generously. Xiao Yao asked Haruhi to record them one by one, and sent the House of Internal Affairs to collect gold and silver from each house the next day.
Although the barbecue was full of twists and turns, it finally came to a successful conclusion. Xiao Yao felt that he lost a few plates of barbecue, but won a lot of money from the corrupt officials. He felt at ease, and felt more pleasing to the emperor's face.
All the officials dispersed, leaving only leftovers in the imperial garden, Xiao Yao ordered the eunuchs and maids to clean up the mess, and walked back to Qingfeng Palace leisurely by himself.
It was rare for the emperor to lower his airs and talk to her, "Yao'er, thank you just now for the coup for me, so that these courtiers had to give money to rescue the disaster."
Feng Luoxuan was amazed by her intelligence, but at the same time was moved by her pure kindness. Xiao Yao is different from him. He is worried about the flood in Xinzhou. It is not so much that he can't bear to see the common people suffer, but it is better to say that he does not want to see stains on his achievements in governing Fengguo. sad.
"You don't have to thank me, I'm definitely not doing this for you." Xiao Yao said truthfully.
