After finishing speaking, he raised his wine glass and said, "This king respects everyone, and this king does it first!"

After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

When everyone heard that he was going to donate one hundred thousand taels, each one was even more sad.

King Li took the lead in donating so much, and if they donated less, it wouldn't be justified.

At this time, a minister said: "Lord, you know, I am an upright official, I am an upright official, and my sleeves are clean. Where can I get the money to donate?"

"Yes, Lord, I have 80 mothers in my family, and wives and children to support me. I don't have money either."

"My lord, although I am a businessman, in the past few years there have been natural disasters, people have no money, and business is not easy to do. I also lost tens of thousands of taels of silver last month. Come donate."

"Master, my family has run out of money. My son doesn't even have money to marry a wife, so he really has no money to donate."

The officials and nobles began to cry poor one by one, and they were unwilling to donate money.

This world belongs to the emperor, and the money belongs to them. Why should they donate?

Besides, with their salary, if they donate a large sum of silver at every turn, isn't this telling the emperor that they are embezzled?

So this money cannot be donated.

Hearing what everyone said, Chu Xuanchen said coldly: "Are you crying poor with this king? You are one of the richest people in Chu Kingdom. How much money have you saved in the bank and how many farm shops do you have? Don’t the king? Don’t worry, even if the king knows how much property you have, he won’t persecute you. Donating money is voluntary, but if anyone can donate more than 10,000 taels, the king will play the emperor and give him an honorary reward! The more you get, the greater the reward!"

When everyone heard that there was a reward, they were still not moved.

After all, some rewards are just false names, without real power, and they are useless.

Still money is real.

Most importantly, they have other reasons.

At this time, someone finally couldn’t help saying: “Master, it’s not that we are unwilling to donate, but that you are late. Before you, the Queen Empress and Mrs. Wei had summoned everyone to donate money, and I just made a donation from the Queen. Ten thousand dollars!"

"Yes, I also donated five thousand taels to the queen, and one thousand quintals of rice!"

"I only donated three thousand taels. We just donated so much. Where is there any money to donate to you?"

Chu Xuanchen was taken aback, "The empress is also raising money?"

"Yes, prince, in the name of disaster relief, the empress asked Mrs. Wei to raise money for her in the palace and the people. She is also preparing to raise money for disaster relief. Our money has been donated to the empress, so there is really no way to donate it to you. ."

"How much does she raise now?" Chu Xuanchen asked.

"She started raising money early yesterday morning. I heard that Niangniang has a great face, and she has raised 500,000 taels! Moreover, she will hold a charity auction and continue to raise money!"

"If she is asked to raise two more days, it is estimated that she can raise several million taels!"

"Five hundred thousand taels?" Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows, and suddenly a fox-like chuckle appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He waved to everyone, "Since everyone has donated from the queen, don't donate from this king for the time being. Anyway, they are all raising funds for the disaster area, and the donations are the same everywhere."

Mo Li next to him whispered, "Master, this is not the same. The money raised by Niang Niang is the support of the people. Moreover, according to her temper, she will not give you the fundraising for disaster relief. She will definitely send it herself. People go to the disaster relief and separate from you, you still have to raise this. If the raising is not completed, the emperor will still find you trouble."
