"Master! Master! Big news! Big news!"

Chongrenfang, Cao Family Courtyard.

A young man in green clothes and gray hat ran in quickly and said as he ran.

The old man of the Cao family is reading the latest issue of "Datang Daily" in the house. Since the development of "Datang Daily", in addition to reporting recent news events, there are also many business opportunities, such as the recent shortage of coal in Bingzhou and the shortage of carbon in Qinzhou.

Within, for businessmen, being able to capture business opportunities as soon as possible means having the opportunity to make money!

"What's all the fuss about?"

Hearing the shouts from the servants outside the house, Cao Wendong frowned.

"Sir! Big news! Today, a notice was posted in front of Nuantang Foundation, saying that starting from this year, the person with the highest donation will be awarded the title of Righteous Businessman by the imperial court!"

The boy pushed open the door and walked in, bowing.

What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom!

Cao Wendong has wanted the title of Yishang for more than a day or two. The servants of the Cao family naturally pay special attention to this aspect. Didn't the servants come to report the news as soon as the news came out?

"Snapped!"

Cao Wendong slapped the newspaper on the table, stood up suddenly, and said, "What? The Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce wants to give the person with the largest donation amount the title of a righteous merchant?"

The boy replied: "Yes, sir!"

Cao Wendong's eyes widened and his breathing became rapid. He asked, "Is the source reliable?"

The young man said confidently: "Don't worry, sir, I personally saw the notice posted on the door of Nuantang Foundation. It cannot be false!"

"Huh~!"

Cao Wendong took a deep breath, his eyes flashed, and he immediately ordered: "Have all seven shopkeepers come to me immediately!"

"Yes! Master!"

.....................

"Alas! Our Lin family has no hope this year!"

Some people were happy and some were sad. After hearing the news, Lin Wenyuan of the Lin family looked sad because all the money of the Lin family was tied up in the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. There is not much money in circulation on the books at present. The so-called "first time" of this year

"Good", it is impossible for the Lin family to get it.

"Master, Hao'er is familiar with Mr. Han. If he asks Mr. Han to ask Yong'an Marquis to release a batch of bicycles for our family, they will definitely sell well! Then we will have enough money!"

Mrs. Lin thought of an idea and said.

"No!"

Lin Wenyuan refused without thinking, "Haoer is lucky to have a good relationship with Mr. Han Xiao, and he must not ruin their friendship just because of this small profit! Besides, even if there is a batch of bicycles now, it is too late.

The Cao family is more prepared than we can! Now it seems that we can only compete again next year!"

"....That's what the master said!"

.............

"Zhang Jingyang of Huaiyuanfang donated 10,000 yuan to Nuantang Foundation~!"

"Murong Yunhai of Yongpingfang donated 20,000 yuan to Nuantang Foundation~!"

"Qi Hesheng of Changshou Fang donated 10,000 yuan to Nuantang Foundation~!"

The Nuantang Foundation, which had been deserted for nearly ten days, suddenly became lively again today. Various "large donations" came in one after another, attracting circles of passers-by to watch. The scene was even more popular than before.

.

"Hey! Why are there so many people donating money here today?"

"They are still donating 10,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan, what happened?"

"Tch! Didn't you see the notice posted on the door? Starting from this year, the Nuantang Foundation will award the businessman who has donated the most money every year a title of a philanthropic businessman! It is now the end of the year, and those who want to get the title of philanthropic businessman

, aren’t you anxious?”

"Oh~! Why did I ask? So that's what happened!"

"Hey! In this way, Nuantang Foundation can receive more donations and help more poor people in the future!"

"That's right! I saw students from Yanhuang Academy delivering coal stoves and clothes to Zhao Er Mazi's family in Xinfeng County yesterday! The Nuantang Foundation is really doing good for us!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

People gathered around the gate of the Nuantang Foundation and talked a lot. At the same time, they also praised today's announcement, because the people all understand that the more donations the Nuantang Foundation receives, the more poor people it can help.

It is a great merit for people to improve their lives, and it is also something that may benefit themselves!

“Chongrenfang Cao Wendong gave 50,000 yuan to Nuantang Foundation!”

Suddenly, a thunder exploded throughout Anyifang, and everyone was stunned!

"Fifty thousand guan! Mr. Cao is so generous!"

"Oh my God! Mr. Cao is so kind and righteous! This year's righteous businessman must be him!"

"That's for sure! Mr. Cao donated 60,000 yuan in two times combined!"

............

The people praised Li Er for his statement. Li Er, the person involved, did not know about it, but when he left the morning court and heard about the notice posted by the Nuantang Foundation today, his old face suddenly darkened!

"Asshole! This brat dares to make his own opinions? Who gave him the courage?"

Li Er stood up and slapped the case, Long Yan said angrily.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Queen Changsun brought a bowl of lotus seed soup over and happened to see Li Er losing his temper, so she quickly came over to comfort him.

"Hmph! Take a look, Guanyin! Is this bastard getting bolder and bolder?"

Li Er threw the book in his hand on the table and said angrily.

Empress Changsun put down the lotus seed soup, stepped forward to pick up the fold, opened it and read it carefully. After a moment, she frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I feel that with the temperament of Marquis Yong'an, he will not be able to deal with such a big event.

If you don't know the importance and make your own decisions, Your Majesty, please think carefully, did you agree to this matter to Marquis Yong'an?"

Li Er raised his eyebrows and said: "Guanyin Maid, do you not believe me?"

"How dare I!"

Empress Changsun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is busy with everything, so it is inevitable that you will forget some things. Although Marquis Yong'an may have some cynicism on his face, he will definitely not be so rash when it comes to matters of right and wrong. Therefore, I am bold and ask Your Majesty to recall it."

!”

Li Er shook his head and said: "I may have forgotten other things, but it is impossible for me to forget this matter! At that time, Li Zexuan asked me to give some rewards to businessmen who donated huge amounts every year, so I gave him a philanthropic quota! But

It’s obviously starting from next year, and this kid has probably taken advantage of the loophole again! Humph! He’s really getting bolder and bolder!”

The specific situation that day was:

"Okay! Okay! I grant you a philanthropic quota every year!"

"Your Majesty! Does this year count?"

"Go away~!"

Li Er's original intention was to start from next year, but he didn't expect that Li Zexuan would take advantage of him again.

"Your Majesty! This... although Marquis Yong'an may have taken advantage of a loophole, but he is also doing it for the people, so you'd better not blame him, right?"

Queen Changsun held back her smile and tried to persuade her.
