In order to show his sincerity and to alleviate the misspoken words he just said, Boss Li quickly stood up and started donating.
"We already understand why Mr. Tao asked Mr. Lu to come to us. Since we are here to keep the appointment today, naturally we will not let Mr. Tao eat in vain.
In this way, on behalf of our Nanjie Liangfang, I donated 500 kilograms of grain and 200 kilograms of charcoal. In addition, the quilts and cotton-padded clothes were worn by some servants, so they will not be counted. As long as the folks don't dislike it when the time comes.
.”
"Then I will also donate five hundred catties of grain and two hundred catties of charcoal."
"I will donate five hundred catties of grain and five hundred catties of charcoal."
"Everyone, wait a minute, wait a minute, don't worry, I'll ask my people to register and come one by one." Tao Qiqi didn't expect that she didn't need to speak herself, and everyone began to rush to raise funds.
Just now she was still thinking about how to start talking about this matter, but it seemed that her worries were a bit unnecessary.
Sure enough, status was more valuable than money in ancient times.
Although no one said anything, Tao Qiqi could still understand in her heart that the reason why they came to the appointment and were willing to start collecting donations without hesitation without waiting for her to ask was not because she was Tao Qiqi from Nanguan City, but because of Nangong Ye
Tao Qiqi beside me.
Now the emperor's most popular person is Tao Qiqi, so everyone supports her without hesitation.
"Young Master Tao doesn't need to register, and you don't leave your name when doing good deeds. Everyone should help each other, and these are within our capabilities. We said today that these supplies will be in place early tomorrow morning, and they will be available for the needy in the morning
Send out refugees." Boss Yang from Buzhuang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Tao Qiqi replied with a smile: "I know everyone is interested. This registration still needs to be done. Once a good deed spreads thousands of miles, more people will be willing to stand up and help each other.
In addition, I am doing this registration to prove it to everyone. When I have the opportunity, I can tell the superiors on your behalf. I won’t say what rewards I can get from the superiors. At least I can let the superiors know that you are also fighting this disaster.
Those who have done their best.
And the people of Jinxiang County should also let them know how helpful Changdao County is to them. From now on, if Changdao County is in need, they should also help you just like you helped them, right?"
After listening to Tao Qiqi's words, everyone felt that it made sense, so they all nodded in agreement.
Boss Chen couldn't help but said: "Young Master Tao is right, good deeds should spread thousands of miles, so that more and more people will be willing to do good deeds in the future. I will donate two thousand kilograms of grain and one hundred kilograms of cotton."
, plus five hundred pounds of charcoal.”
Gu Yuwai stood up and said: "I will donate two thousand catties of charcoal, one thousand catties of grain, and five hundred catties of cotton."
As soon as the words fell, the scene was in an uproar.
Mr. Li couldn't help but say: "Gu Yuanwai, what you did made us not know how to act."
The clerk replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, everyone depends on their ability, more or less depends on what they want."
Mr. Li: "But who doesn't know that you, Gu Yuanwai, have a rich family, and we can't compare to you."
Gu Yuanwai: "Hey, you can't say that. I naturally have to give more if I have it. Wouldn't it be shameful to give less? Besides, there are so many villages, and even each village can't get a share of this little thing.
How many."
"If you do this, it would be shameful for us to donate less."
Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Mr. Qi hurriedly stood up and said: "Everyone, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, it's just this little thing, don't grab it here, two thousand kilograms of charcoal is only four hundred taels of silver.
It’s not like you can’t afford to donate a mere four hundred taels. You are all rich people and the face of our Changdao County. If you don’t have enough charcoal, don’t worry. It’s the same with money.”
"That's right. What Mr. Lu said is that donating money is the same. Later when the villagers reorganize the village, they will also need a lot of money. Then I will donate five hundred catties of charcoal, one thousand catties of grain, and two hundred or two hundred silver.
.”
Mr. Li felt much better after donating. Finally, he was not the one who donated the least.
With Gu Yuanwai and Mr. Li taking the lead, the following few people donated generously.
"I have one thousand catties of grain, five hundred catties of charcoal, and three hundred taels of silver."
"I also have one thousand catties of grain, plus one thousand catties of charcoal, and one hundred taels of silver."
"Five hundred catties of grain, five hundred catties of charcoal, two hundred catties of cotton, fifty bolts of cloth, and one hundred taels of silver."
…………
Tao Qiqi on the side looked at this scene and expressed great satisfaction in her heart.
It seems that what I just said was not in vain.
Once I was told that I would hand it over to the superiors for a look, I stopped searching and became more generous.
Master Lu Chang is also very discerning and smart. With his help, many people have donated money.
Although it is only a few hundred taels or a few hundred taels, for the villagers, this is life-saving money that can help them tide over the difficulties.
If he has one thousand catties, he will have two thousand catties, if he has one hundred taels, he will have two hundred taels. The donation scene is very intense, and no one wants to be the lowest one.
Looking at these bosses, such caring bosses, Tao Qiqi cursed them in her heart to make a fortune, she must make a fortune.
But just like that, Boss Li, Boss Yi, and Boss Jiang, who were the first to donate, started to get anxious.
Because they were the first to donate, the most they donated was five hundred kilograms of grain.
Now compared with them, the three of them have donated the least, and they are all at the bottom.
Seeing that everyone had finished donating, when Tao Qiqi was about to put away the list, Boss Li quickly stood up and said: "Well, I'll add more, add more."
"Yes, yes, let's add more." The three bosses all felt a little embarrassed.
Tao Qiqi naturally refused to accept anyone who came, so she handed the order to Shan Ren again, and then said with a smile: "Add something, don't be in a hurry, come one by one."
Boss Li wiped the cold sweat on his face, and then he calmed down and said, "I'll add five hundred taels of silver and two hundred kilograms of cotton."
Hearing this, Tao Qiqi's eyes showed a hint of surprise. These 500 taels of disaster relief funds can almost help many villagers rebuild their homes.
"I'll also add five hundred taels of silver and two hundred catties of cotton."
"I'll add five hundred taels of silver and two hundred bolts of coarse cloth."
Unexpectedly, there was another huge sum of one thousand five hundred taels. Tao Qiqi asked Shan Ren to record all these amounts.
Finally, he carefully put the list away.
The fundraising work is now finished, and the next step is to accompany these big bosses with delicious food and drinks.
However, in order to prevent everyone from getting drunk and affecting the delivery of relief supplies tomorrow, Tao Qiqi started organizing the show to end when they were almost drunk.
Of course, in order to make up for everyone's failure to drink well, Tao Qiqi gave each person a jar of good wine to go back and drink slowly.
As soon as the wine was received, every boss was instantly satisfied and felt that today's meal was worth nothing.
After Tao Qiqi sent away all the bosses and returned to the county government office with Mr. Lu, Tao Qiqi saw Xiao Hei in the room as soon as he returned to the room.
