The family heads listened to the conversation between the two, and they didn't know how painful they were.
It would be reasonable to ask them to donate tens of thousands taels, and they would be willing to part with it. However, judging from the words of the two princes, Prince Zhan's Mansion donated a lot of money and food.
If these noble families only donate a little, can these two people let them go?
"Besides, there are still these aristocratic families."
Qian Jiyun didn't care how ugly their faces were, and glanced at them coldly.
"All the family heads are willing to spend huge sums of money on the wrongs they have committed for the children of their own clan, and they are even more able to take care of the people who are suffering in the North.
Family heads, do you think so?"
"Yes Yes."
What can all the family heads say? They can only say yes.
This was comparable to robbery, and it was a robbery that they didn't dare to refuse. They couldn't even say no.
Really, why did they provoke these two people? If I had known they would have kept a lower profile. Whether those young men died or not was none of their business. It wasn't a big deal.
The owner of the property family looked at this person, then at those others, and saw that their expressions were not much different from his, so he had to grit his teeth, close his eyes, and speak.
"The villain is willing to pay one million taels of silver to provide some security for the people in the North."
When he proposed one million taels, he almost vomited a mouthful of old blood. The business family could only earn one million taels in a few years, not including the expenses of the clan members.
These two princes are really good at it. Even if they want to report a low number, it won't work.
When other family owners heard what the owner said, they gritted their teeth and reported the amount of money they wanted to donate.
"The villain offers eight hundred thousand taels."
"The villain offers nine hundred thousand taels."
…
After a while, everyone finished talking one by one. After everyone on the boat finished talking, everyone's face was as green as the wild vegetables served in the Moonlight Restaurant.
They all hope that the two princes should leave Daqing as soon as possible. They can go anywhere, Hua Yan Jue, Wulong Mountain, anywhere is better than Daqing.
If this happens a few more times, their family will be poorer than the common people!
But Qian Jiyun and the others would care about their expressions. Naturally, they would not. Instead, they turned their heads and looked at the steward.
"Did you write it down?" An Jiuyue asked.
"When I get back to my mistress, I have written down the money that the heads of the family want to donate. I will sort out the book and send it to the household department." The steward replied, holding a book in one hand and a pen in the other.
"Um."
An Jiuyue nodded with satisfaction.
"After sorting it out, give me a copy. I will take some time to send it to the palace and show it to the emperor."
All the family heads: "..."
It's not enough to send it to the Ministry of Revenue, but also to the emperor. How much does this show that you don't trust them? Are you afraid that they will cheat and give you less money?
How is it possible? The two princes are watching here. Even if they want to give less, they dare not!
"The family heads are so generous. Looking back, I must talk to the emperor and ask him to give you some rewards." An Jiuyue said to the family heads with a smile.
The heads of the families said nothing. What could the emperor give to these people? At most, it would be a handwritten message, or someone would be granted the title of county prince, county lord, etc., and most of them would be women.
What they hope now is that after donating the money, nothing will happen to them anymore, and the two princes will stop causing trouble to them!
