"Mom, didn't your Majesty search a large amount of money for his family some time ago? Maybe, this time, we won't be asked to raise funds again. After all, His Majesty had just made a fortune, and in less than half a month, the taxes collected from various places in the summer should be paid.

Besides, it feels so embarrassing that we pretend to be poor. We only raise three or two thousand taels of silver every time. Our family cannot afford to pay it. Why do we have to try our best to pretend to be poor? What's more, our family can't pretend to be poor. The specific situation of the separation of the family has long been circulated. At that time, you also gave my sixteen brothers five thousand taels of cash each. How long has it been? The above said that he would not even be able to take out three or two thousand taels of cash. Who would believe this if he said it!"

Fundraising is a thing that happens naturally, from the family building archways and ancestral halls to the national treasury shortage of money, and if there are any major issues that need to be handled quickly. However, generally speaking, many people are willing to pay for the previous things that involve family fronts, but the latter ones are not happy.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

The reason is very simple. When it comes to the family's house, the money they spend for their own family is spent. They have more money and they have a good reputation in the family. Even if they can set up a good position for their own ancestral tablets, it is really not good if the treasury lacks money to donate, unless it is said that they can donate hundreds of thousands of taels at once, which is the emperor's eyes, but no one is so stupid. It's better to keep such a large amount of money for their own home. Donating it will be a meat bun to beat a dog, and there will be no return.

Therefore, when most officials and nobles meet the emperor's donation, they will follow the crowd, not seeking excellence, but just seeking no mistakes. If the fifth-rank official donates 500 taels, then I will donate 400 taels of sixth rank, and 450 taels, anyway, it's enough to be less than the Shangguan.

Their Marquis' Mansion is the highest-level title under the title of King and Duke. If converted to the official position, it can be counted, so the amount you have to donate each time is naturally quite large, but this amount is not really harmful, so it is a bit distressing, but it is indeed possible to take it out.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Do you care whether others believe it or not.

Every time they raise funds, the officials and nobles did not cry poorly. Duke Yin's ancestors were the first to enter the treasury of the previous dynasty. Almost half of the treasury of the previous dynasty were taken away by his family. Then their family still had a small population. When they raised funds last time, they also cried and said that their family was poor and could hardly afford to eat. Then they sold a lot of things, and they only had three thousand taels of taels of money together. You are fine, and you didn't say anything, and just handed over two thousand five hundred taels of silver so readily.

This is more offensive.

Listen to me, you will just go with the flow and cry poor this year. If you have the ability, even if you lose everything, I can raise more than 100,000 taels of silver for you to give it to you and gain a glimpse of the emperor. But you can't do anything, and it's a waste to do anything more. Just do it like that."

I didn't want to be an official or something, but I just made money, so Qiaomu naturally wouldn't worry about other things in a mess. I just hope that her son can be at peace in front of the short marquis, and don't show any news. Just live with the flow and live comfortably. The sea trade and other things can be carried out slowly in private, without any rush.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Okay, I'll do it."

Wen Qilian replied with some frustration, "Don't he know those people are doing the show?" What everyone knows is that it's something that everyone knows, but because he can't take that face, he doesn't follow the crowd and learn from other ministers and nobles."

It cannot be blamed for him. The original body, including the original husband, is a shameless person. If the original body is shameless, how could there be no money left after the child’s wedding? These days, the nobles, who are shameless, are basically not rich at home. Only those who are truly shameless can save money. The saying that people are shameless and invincible in the world makes a certain sense. The original body realized this when it was forced to do so.

After Wen Qilian returned from Qiao Mu, he began to clean up some of the things that were not available and were worn out at home, and piled them into a warehouse to wait for the news above. If the above said he wanted to raise funds, he would quickly pawn the things out. If there was no news, he would throw them into the warehouse.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Originally, Wen Qilian felt that the emperor had just earned so much money some time ago, so he would not need to raise funds for disaster relief. But who would have thought that the day after his pile of things was prepared, the news of the rebellion and invasion of Lingnan and other places in the South China Kingdom spread to the capital, so the money in the treasury was naturally not enough. After all, disaster relief and rebellion must be carried out quickly, and it cannot be delayed until the summer tax collection bank is collected before taking it slowly.

Therefore, the order to raise funds was issued quickly, and Wen Qilian had no choice but to follow his mother's instructions and start pawning the pile of rags he had packed out. He also performed with extremely poor acting skills and started crying for poverty.

I have to say that although his acting skills are very poor, he does not seem particularly abrupt because there are many officials and nobles crying. Instead, he has a sense of harmony that is indifferent to the public. This is what Qiaomu wants to see. Driving with the flow is the best way to hide low-key.

Because crying for poverty is a common practice, and it is indeed necessary to pay for money to provide disaster relief and rebellion quickly, so everyone did not waste too much time. After crying for a while, they all happily took out some silver and pieced together it together, which could be considered as having raised one and one million taels of silver. The more than 5 million taels of silver that Emperor Ming Ling had copied some time ago, it was more than enough to deal with the two things needed at present.

With money, many things are easy to deal with. Even though the disaster relief funds were still peeled off several layers when they were distributed, they were at least half of them sent to the disaster area, so the disaster was quickly calmed down, at least to say that it did not cause any major crisis, nor did it cause a peasant uprising.

However, the rebellion of the New South China has not been calmed down, and it is even more and more. Originally, it was only on the border, but later, somehow, the troops used by each other became more and more. By the end of the year, the New South China had already captured eighteen cities, which made the overall atmosphere of the capital seem very serious. No matter inside and outside the palace, no one dared to laugh. Emperor Ling of Ming often roared in the court, scolding the generals for being useless, scolding civil servants for not providing food and grass in time, etc.

Fortunately, Qiao Mu and the Xuanhe Hou Mansion had basically left the circle of military officers, and they did not take actual positions in the court, so they perfectly avoided the storm and their lives were still the same as usual.
