"It will definitely cost a lot of money to rebuild the river ladder, as well as the people who have been affected by the disaster. I am thinking that our child is about to be born, so I personally spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy food and donate it to the Jinzhou earthquake disaster. This is my
A little kindness can be considered as a blessing for our unborn child."
Zhao Chengji: "You don't need to pay, I will take care of the earthquake disaster."
Yu Lan smiled and shook his head, "That's different. I want to do more good things for the people of the world when I can. Now that we have such an opportunity, we can also accumulate blessings for our children. It's good, so this kind of thing
The opportunity for good things cannot be missed."
Sigh.
Zhao Chengji: "If others thought like you, there wouldn't be so many people who are corrupt and bend the law." Look, even his woman knows how to do something for the people of the world, and those who do nothing with their salary
What do moths do alive?
Seeing that Yu Lan insisted on doing this, Zhao Chengji reached out and touched her hair, nodded and said, "Okay, I will donate it in your name. All the money will definitely be spent on the people."
With so many people killed this time, no one will dare to commit corruption or bribery within a few years.
Yu Lan's donation is personal and does not go into the national treasury. So since he has given the money, he must let everyone in the world know that his beloved concubine is virtuous, virtuous, and of noble character.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that evil concubines harm the country. Similarly, in a country, if the emperor's concubine has such moral character, it is a blessing for the people.
Soon, the news that the imperial concubine personally donated 100,000 taels of silver to Jinzhou swept through the entire Northern Territory Kingdom like a wind.
The imperial concubine donated money.
Not a few hundred taels, a few thousand taels, but a hundred thousand taels. While everyone sighed that the imperial concubine was really rich, Princess Zhaohua took the lead and started donating money to do something for the people.
The noble concubine and the princess took the lead in donating money. For a while, the ladies and ladies in the imperial capital also followed suit and donated their own things, including silver and jewelry. One hundred taels, several hundred taels, and several thousand taels. Those who donated the most were those who donated money.
The wife of a wealthy businessman could donate tens of thousands or tens of thousands.
In short, Zhaohua received the money mercilessly. In other words, when he got the money, he couldn't believe it. These are really rich people.
There is a saying that, when sand is gathered together, a tower is formed. This is not unreasonable. In the imperial capital, at the feet of the emperor, there are dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, etc., so there are many rich people. After this wave, according to statistics, there are eight
One hundred thousand taels, real money.
The cost of rebuilding the river ladder is only 100,000 taels of silver. Including the earthquake, the cost this time will be about 200,000 taels of silver.
So, this is still hundreds of thousands taels more.
However, once it is in his hands, he will naturally not return it. Money is taken from the people and used for the people, and there are really many places to use it. Maybe something will happen somewhere one day, and another
A large sum of money. Therefore, even though it looks like a lot, the treasury will not be too much.
"Haha, okay, the imperial concubine is indeed my lucky star."
To be honest, Zhao Chengji was a little proud. It was a feeling that a husband could not ask for anything more than a wife like this.
Zhaohua, who collected the money and handed it over, was also praised a lot by Zhao Chengji. He was a prince, and he usually knew what to eat, but this time he got back to business, and he made some progress.
Originally, Yu Lan's reputation in the hearts of the people was quite high. After this time, it became even higher.
Now the streets and alleys are talking about this matter.
"It is a blessing for our people in the Northern Kingdom to have such a virtuous concubine."
"Yeah, that's great."
Nowadays, some people even regard Yu Lan as the queen, the mother of a country, that is. The so-called emperor and empress are united, the world is peaceful, and there is good life, who wants to live a hard life. And a country can have a
A virtuous monarch must also have a virtuous queen.
In addition, among the donations this time, those merchants had the largest number. Since they were given to actual ones, Zhao Chengji also named them to express his gratitude. Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants, injured merchants for three generations could not become scholars, but this time the emperor specially gave them grace and gave them a quota.
As for who can study and become a scholar, that's their business. As for whether they can pass the exam, that's their business. He just gave them a chance.
Because of this, those who had not donated money were beating their chests and regretting it endlessly. If they had known that Qi's family could get a big scholarship if he donated money, not to mention just tens of thousands of taels of silver, they would be willing to pay hundreds of thousands.
Unfortunately, there is no point in regretting. Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
Slowly, this matter passed. And Yu Lan became deeply rooted in people's hearts.
During the days when Yu Lan was raising her baby, she had to eat and drink. Apart from being a little tired, she felt fine.
During the pregnancy days, Zhaohua would go to the palace to see Yu Lan every now and then. In addition, people from Yu Lan's natal family, including her parents, younger brothers, and her sisters, all came to see her. However, it was difficult to
Due to her identity, she was careful every time she entered the palace, for fear of embarrassing her sister. Regarding this matter, Yu Lan could only laugh or cry.
When Lan was seven months pregnant, her mother Jiang moved into the palace with the emperor's permission and took care of her personally.
At the end of May, the sun gets hotter.
"Mom, I feel so uncomfortable. I feel like I can't even breathe."
"This is what happens when you have a baby, be patient."
She felt really uncomfortable.
As my belly gets bigger and bigger, my body becomes heavier and bulkier. Not only do I gain weight, but my legs are also a little swollen. Sometimes I feel dizzy after standing up after sitting for a while, so I just want to lie down and rest for a while.
, and I feel tight in my chest and out of breath. In short, I feel tired.
Thinking about how her mother was busy all day when she was pregnant with their siblings, and then looking at herself, even she felt that she was weak and unable to take care of herself.
"You haven't eaten much in the past few days. This won't work. I'll go to the kitchen and make you some old duck soup to replenish your health."
"Mom, I don't want to eat." She felt so bored now that she really didn't want to eat these.
After hearing this, Jiang thought that when she was pregnant, the weather was hot and she wanted to eat some boiled tender pumpkin and beans. However, those were only eaten by poor families.
He glanced at his daughter and said, "I can't let my daughter eat that." She shook her head, "No, no, no. Her daughter can't eat randomly."
Even what her daughter eats is checked by the imperial doctor. Her emperor's son-in-law treats her with such caution, so naturally she cannot hold back as a mother.
Mrs. Jiang was just thinking about getting something to eat for her daughter later when she saw her daughter sitting on the chair tilted and fell to one side.
"Xiaowu..."
"Empress."
"Quick, the imperial concubine has fainted."
"Hurry, go and report to the emperor..."
…
When Yu Lan woke up again, it was already night.
Familiar bedroom, familiar people.
At this moment, her hand was being held by someone, and a figure dressed in bright yellow was sitting beside the bed.
Seeing that she was awake, Zhao Chengji breathed a sigh of relief.
He reached out and touched her face gently, and whispered: "Are you awake?"
