"Please rest assured, the king, the king will figure out how to do things about silver. This king will first raise funds from the gentry and the wealthy. If the king can't raise money, then I will find you guys. What do you think?" Chu Xuanchen said politely.
"No, prince, although the emperor puts the burden of fundraising on you, we can't sit back and watch. Although we donate little money, this is also our heart for the people. The people of Chu are all one family. Seeing the suffering of the common people, we really feel sorry for it. No matter how low our salary is, it is always better than the common people. The so-called food for the emperor is to bear the worries of the emperor. Since the emperor has appointed us as officials in the court, we should be him Share the worries. At this time, we can’t be stingy, we should leave our little family for everyone and take the lead in helping the people.
After Han Taifu finished speaking, he forced the silver in his hand into Chu Xuanchen's arms, "Master, this is the old man's little heart, you must accept it. Now there are many victims in the disaster area. If you have more money, you can help one more person." We look forward to your ability to raise money quickly, rush to the disaster area, and save the people from the fire and water."
"Yes, Lord, no matter how much it is, it is our mind. You must not refuse! We only hope that the country will be stable, the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and we hope that the country of Chu will welcome the prosperous age." After Li Taishi finished, fearing Chu Xuanchen would refuse, Tucked the silver into his arms.
Others followed suit.
They put their money on the table one after another, with a firm attitude.
Seeing everyone so kind, Chu Xuanchen’s nose sore, he squeezed Han Taifu’s hand, his eyes were red, and his voice choked, "Don’t worry, sirs, since you are all very concerned about the people affected by the disaster. This king is here to promise you. This king will definitely rush to the disaster area as soon as possible to save the country and the people, and will never let the people be displaced or made homeless again."
"Okay, the old man is right. His Royal Highness Li is a true gentleman! The old man believes you, you will definitely help the people!" Taifu Han said, shook Chu Xuanchen's hand, and then left with everyone.
After everyone left, Chu Xuanchen looked at the crumpled silver bills on the table, ingots of large and small silver, with great emotion.
These ministers didn't have much salary, and they were willing to donate so much.
Compared with them, the queen's heart is really too greedy!
Yun Ruoyue was also very moved. It turned out that Chu State still has so many ministers for the country and the people, and there is hope for such a Chu State.
Finally, the eldest princess and Su Qishao also wanted to save money.
But the amount they gave was too large, and Chu Xuanchen only symbolically collected twenty thousand taels of silver, and asked them to carry the rest back.
This money donated to the people, of course, has to be taken out of the big tiger's mouth to relieve one's anger!

After Wang Zhao left from the Li Palace, he was going to ask Su Changxiao to ask clearly.
But he remembered what she had told him, bought a lot of food in the restaurant, and asked the young man to carry it, and came to the inn where Su Changxiao lived with him.
"Knock, knock..." As soon as Wang Zhao arrived, he started knocking on the door.
As soon as Su Changxiao heard the sound, she ran to open the door, and as soon as she opened the door, she met the ugly face of Wang Zhao.
"Master, what's the matter with you?" Su Chang looked at him with a puzzled smile.
Wang Zhao did not return to her, but said to the young man: "You bring the wine and food in, and go outside to guard it."
"Yes, prince." The young man took a look at Zhao Wang, quickly took the wine and vegetables in, then quickly withdrew, and brought the door to the room.
