"You don't want us to donate? This is our heart for you. Moreover, we are very sorry for the victims, sympathize with the victims, and hope that the world is peaceful." The princess said.
Su Qishao also said: "Yes, I heard that the emperor wants you to raise one hundred and eight hundred thousand taels of silver, but the nobles are unwilling to donate any of them to you. On the contrary, they rushed to donate to the queen and cheated. Queen. So as soon as I discussed with the princess, I decided to use our own savings to help you."
"Thank you. I have accepted your kindness, but I don't need anyone to donate for the time being. You should bring the money back. If I really need it, it won't be too late to find you." Chu Xuanchen arched his hands.
"Xuan Chen, you obviously lack so much talent. With our talent, you will be more relaxed. Why don't you?" the princess asked inexplicably.
Chu Xuanchen said: "Don't worry, I have already thought of a way. This time, I will knock money out of the big tiger's mouth, so I can't waste your money."
"Knock from the big tiger's mouth? Who is the big tiger?" The princess looked puzzled.
As soon as Su Qishao understood what Chu Xuanchen meant, he whispered a few words to the eldest princess.
Then said: "Well, since you don't need it, let's take the silver back to Su Mansion first. If you need it, we can send someone to get it."
At this time, there was another excited voice from the concierge outside, "The prince, Taifu Han, Taishi Li, Zhang Fuyin, and many adults have sent donations to you."
He just finished speaking, and a large group of people came in.
Chu Xuanchen swept toward the door, only to see a lot of ministers coming in.
Taifu Han took the lead: "His Royal Highness, the old minister heard that you have difficulty raising funds. When you raised funds from the nobles yesterday, you did not raise money. This is one thousand taels, which is the savings of the old minister over the years as an official. The old minister wants to donate it to you. , Do something for the people of the victims."
Master Li also said: "Master, there are five hundred taels here. You know, the old ministers are upright officials, clean throughout their lives, and don't have much savings. This is a little heart, please accept it."
Zhang Fuyin also took a bag of silver and said: "The prince, because the mother of the official has a bad body, she has to take medicine every day, so the official does not have much savings. But as long as it is the affairs of the prince, it is the affairs of the official. The Xiaguan specially borrowed two thousand taels of silver from his colleagues to support the prince, and asked the prince to accept it."
"..."
Next, other officials also took the money.
Some have good conditions, but donate more, and those with poor conditions also explain the difficulties, and donate not a lot.
Looking at the enthusiastic faces in front of him, the piles of crumpled silver bills, and the sweaty silver ingots, Chu Xuanchen was very moved.
He did not expect that he did not come to find them for donations.
They actually came to donate to him.
Some donated by unknown people, probably those who didn't dare to offend Emperor Hongyuan and wanted to support him.
But generally speaking, the officials who came this time were all meagre officials.
After looking at everyone, he said, "My lords, I am very grateful to you for coming to give charcoal in the snow, to support my work, and donate money to the people. But all the adults here are honest and clean officials, and the salary is not high. There are also seniors and seniors. If you are young, I am really ashamed to accept it. I will not accept your money for now, and I will find another way to raise funds."
"What? Lord, you don't even want us to donate? If you don't, can you raise all the money?" Taifu Han said.
