"Please rest assured, Master, I will find a solution for the silver issue.
I will first raise funds from the wealthy gentry and wealthy households. If I really cannot raise the money, I will then approach you all. What do you think?"
Chu Xuanchen said politely.
"No, Your Majesty, although the Emperor has placed the burden of raising funds on you, we cannot sit idly by and ignore it.
Although the amount of money we donated is small, it is also our sincerity to the people.
The people of Chu State are all one family, and we feel really sorry to see the people suffer.
No matter how low our salary is, it is still much better than that of the common people.
As the saying goes, eating the emperor's salary and worrying about the emperor's worries. Since the emperor has appointed us as officials in the court, we should share his worries.
At this time, we cannot be stingy, we should sacrifice our small family for everyone, and take the lead to contribute to the people."
After Taifu Han finished speaking, he forced the money in his hand into Chu Xuanchen's arms, "Your Majesty, this is my little wish, you must accept it.
There are many victims in the disaster area now. If you have a little more money, you can help one more person.
We hope that you can quickly collect money and rush to the disaster area to save the people from the fire and water."
"Yes, Your Majesty, no matter how much it is, it is all in our heart. You must not refuse! We only hope that the country will be stable, that the people will live and work in peace and contentment, and that Chu will usher in a prosperous age again."
After Master Li finished speaking, he also put the money into Chu Xuanchen's arms for fear of rejection.
Others followed suit.
They put their money on the table one after another with a firm attitude.
Seeing how kind everyone was, Chu Xuanchen felt a sore nose. He held Taifu Han's hand tightly, his eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs, "Sir, please rest assured, since you are all very concerned about the people affected by the disaster.
I promise you here that I will rush to the disaster area as soon as possible to save the country and the people, and will never let the people be displaced and homeless again."
"Okay, I got it right. His Highness Prince Li is a true gentleman! I believe in you, and you will definitely be able to 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 banknotes and ingots of large and small silver on the table, and was very touched.
These ministers don't have much salary, yet they are 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 the Chu State still had so many ministers who served the country and the people. There was hope for such a Chu State.
Finally, the eldest princess and Su Qishao also wanted to keep the money.
But the amount they gave was too big, so Chu Xuanchen only took a symbolic payment of 20,000 taels of silver and asked them to take the rest back.
Of course, the money donated to the people must be picked out from the mouth of the big tiger, which will relieve the anger!

After King Zhao left Prince Li's Mansion, he was ready to go find Su Changxiao and ask for clarification.
But he remembered her words, bought a lot of food in the restaurant, and asked the waiter to carry it, and went with him to the inn where Su Changxiao lived.
"Knock knock knock..." As soon as King Zhao arrived, he began to knock on the door.
As soon as Su Changxiao heard the sound, she ran over to open the door. As soon as she opened the door, she was faced with the ugly face of King Zhao.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?"
Su Changxiao looked at him puzzled.
King Zhao did not reply to her, but said to the boy: "Bring the food and wine in, and then go and guard outside."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The boy glanced at King Zhao, quickly brought the food and wine in, then quickly exited and closed the door.
