Chapter 1706 The Holy Will Cannot Be Violated
Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other subconsciously. They all understood Madam Qi's intention of convening this gathering!
In fact, no one is a fool.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the national treasury is empty and the imperial court is unable to cope with it. That is why the Imperial Guards conducted inspections and enfeoffed the country.
With no one making donations, a new strategy was devised.
Until now, they are still very hesitant. In the war years, unlike in the past, how can Bianjing City be safe locally?
If Mrs. Qi can lead them to participate, it will be a great achievement. Although she is a female, she has the courage to fight for the title. If she can succeed, she can become the first baroness in Daliang!
But just because she is a woman, she has many difficulties and needs more chips...
"Everyone here has business dealings with the Qi family and has received favors from the Qi family... Of course, I am not asking for your help, but I am helping you!"
Mrs. Qi said: "The holy will is obvious. We all escaped the previous disaster by luck. If we don't continue this time, we may all end badly."
"At least now, you can still get a title and a land. The so-called wealth is obtained in danger... Helping each other after going out may not be impossible. Granting nobles can also build a private army. Those gentlemen who already have titles are quite tempted.
This opportunity is not to be missed!”
Hear this.
Everyone fell into silence.
Nothing else matters, what really touches them is the Holy Will.
The holy will is to ask them to pay, and you can’t do it if you don’t.
The Guardsman comes to your door and puts a knife on your neck. Your life is gone and everything is gone...
"Mrs. Qi can see the situation clearly!"
A middle-aged man sitting here sighed and said: "I am willing to follow Madam Qi. If I really seal it out, please ask Madam Qi to take care of me."
The Qi family is the Yulan family given by Emperor Taizu. Their titles can be changed and their family name can be passed down forever. They are much stronger than these people.
"By helping each other, we may not be unable to build a successful career."
Although she is a female, her words are quite heroic.
They believe that Mrs. Qi has the strength to support the Qi family for so many years. She is not an ordinary person...
"Just listen to Mrs. Qi. Don't get nothing in the end. At least you still have a chance to fight now. Besides, you don't have to pay for it in the first year. This is a business without capital!"
One after another agreed, and with Mrs. Qi's persuasion, they finally made a decision.
In other words, they are willing to be Mrs. Qi's bargaining chip!
"good!"
Mrs. Qi stood up.
"I dare not say anything else. If I have a good future in the future, I will never forget you!"
"Here comes a drink, I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight!"
"Then I wish Madam Qi to become the first baroness in Daliang!"
"From now on she will no longer be a marquise, but a marquis!"
"If the imperial court does not grant the title of Madam Qi, we will also refuse to grant it."
"right!"
There was a loud shout.
Mrs. Qi's smile became more intense, and her red lips were delicate and full of temptation.
With these chips, it should be enough.
she thought to herself.
The next day, Xuanzheng Palace.
Zhu Zhen summoned Shen Tai and asked about the donors. After hearing the report, he frowned deeply.
After the new policy was announced, there were many more responders than the first time, but there was a mixed bag of good and bad, and most of them were just joining in the fun, without even half of their strength.
The truly capable person is still waiting and watching. He originally had great expectations, but the results were unsatisfactory, and he was dissatisfied because of this.
"Am I so untrustworthy?"
Zhu Zhen knew where the root knot was, and it was probably because the Gongwei Division had killed him too fiercely before.
"Calm down, Your Majesty, the New Deal has just begun..."
"Go ahead."
Zhu Zhen waved his hand.
He was in a bad mood, and there was news that Daning had enfeoffed Beilin, Shangyun, and Liaoqing provinces in full swing. Under such encouragement, these barren lands would soon truly become a great nation.
Ning land!
But on his side, it is not still lifeless, and the enfeoffment strategy is his hope to reverse the decline.
He wants everyone to see his "sincerity"
Shen Tai retired to the Yamen and came to see him less than an hour later.
"Your Majesty, just now the Ministry of Finance received more than 20 copies of please seal the envelopes!"
"oh?"
Zhu Zhen said calmly: "They must be some people joining in the fun, right?"
"Catch a few people and severely punish them. Can the title and fiefdom be granted at will? Can't it be done by just one person?"
"Your Majesty, the people you are applying for this title are all qualified people. They are the people who meet the conditions that I reported earlier!"
Shen Tai once submitted a list of people with powerful financial reputation. Such people are undoubtedly the most suitable.
"oh?"
Zhu Zhen became interested.
"There are so many people asking for the title."
"It's just that the leader surprised me."
"Who is the leader?"
"Mrs. Qi from the Yulan family!"
"Oh, is it her?"
Of course Zhu Zhen knew about Mrs. Qi. Emperor Taizu named the family after his favorite magnolia, so the royal family could not turn a blind eye.
He has long been eyeing the Qi family, and that's why he didn't take action. The Qi family is a very wealthy family.
"Who is she donating to?"
"For herself."
"Herself?"
Zhu Zhen looked slightly surprised, then said: "This Qi family is quite courageous..."
"It's more than that."
Shen Tai said: "As far as I know, other applicants for the title came with her."
"oh?"
Chapter completed!
