The system forced me to be emperor

Xiao Ze said: "Seventh Brother, there is something wrong with this list, be careful not to offend these people!"

Xiao Rui smiled and said: "It's okay, just follow the people on my list. I still have follow-up plans. Those aristocratic families you mentioned are all very rich, how can I let it go? But Ninth Brother, I remind you You, when sending the invitation, warn the servants not to talk too much. You two must not disclose the names of the people on this list to anyone, including your relatives! Otherwise, my plan will not be able to be carried out! And not only them, I will also invite famous merchants in the capital!"

"Businessmen want to invite too?" Xiao Yan was taken aback.

Xiao Rui laughed and said: "Since the father and the people share the joy, there is no distinction between high and low, and merchants have money. When encountering such an occasion, they are determined to throw money!"

"Okay! If you insist on this, then do as you say!" Xiao Yan responded immediately, but then, with a look of suspicion, he asked: "We did everything, what are you doing?"

"Advertising bidding and soliciting sponsors! There are still many big things waiting for me!" Xiao Rui said with a smile. He was ready to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune. He thought it was a troublesome thing at first, but now he opened his mind , The thought occupied the high ground, and immediately produced countless clever schemes to make money, and I developed myself this time.

Xiao Ze and Xiao Yan frowned, they didn't understand what advertising bidding and sponsorship were, but seeing Xiao Rui's excited face, it must be a good thing.

When sending Xiao Ze and Xiao Yan away, Xiao Rui didn't forget to remind them that they also had to donate treasures!

......

After noon, the charity auction became a hot topic and spread throughout the streets and alleys.Although this is the first time I have heard of this term, His Majesty and the Empress are here in person, and they will also take out treasures for auction, and the proceeds will be used to help the poor. All the gatekeepers are ready to move.

At the same time, news came out from the palace that among the treasures donated by His Majesty, there was a pair of calligraphy written by him himself, with four characters written: "Scholarly Family"!

Hearing this news, all the big families were short of breath. If they got this calligraphy and hung it in the mansion, it would not be a self-proclaimed scholarly family all day long, but a real scholarly family. It must be bought!

Of course, the news was spread by Xiao Rui, and the purpose was naturally to cause public opinion and sensation. He forced his father to write a few words, ensuring that every copy would make them red-eyed, and he would never be stingy with his money!

And as the invitations were sent out one after another, many people who thought they would receive the invitations have not received the invitations for a long time, so they are a little anxious.

At this moment, news suddenly came out from Prince Xian's Mansion!Hao Yun, the deputy capital censor of the left, actually raised 1000 taels and got an invitation letter from King Xian. In the words of King Xian, "This donation is entirely for disaster relief, and time is tight, so the invitation letter is too late to make, so we can only send it out." To the bosses of the main functional yamen, the other adults can only say sorry! And Mr. Hao is concerned about charity in his heart, so he hastened to make an invitation letter and give it a special gift!"

This sentence was deliberately spread and spread to the ears of all those who did not receive the invitation letter.

After hearing this, they were silent for a while, and they all cursed: "Damn!"

This is blatantly selling invitations!

Later, there were rumors that Champion Hou and Zhongyonghou raised 1000 taels each, and also received invitations for express delivery!

Everyone shut up now.

King Xian even cheated his prospective father-in-law, treating everyone equally, so what else can he complain about?

Moreover, King Xian didn't even give Champion Hou any face, it seems that he wasn't manipulating it, it was probably His Majesty's intention!

The purpose, of course, is to let officials and aristocratic families who want to participate in the charity auction buy invitations out of their own pockets!

That being the case, what are you waiting for!

Ever since, aristocratic families and powerful families have sent people to Xianwang Mansion to raise donations!

When Li Yuanfang took out a thick stack of invitation letters and filled in the name of whoever paid, everyone present rolled their eyes in unison.

Is this the so-called delay in making the invitation letter?

Chapter 202: Bidding and Sponsorship

In the study, Xiao Rui was having tea with Jia Xu, while Wei Guang was describing the expressions on the faces of the government officials when they came to collect donations and buy invitations, especially when Li Yuanfang took out a thick stack of invitations, and whoever gave the money would fill in the invitations. Names, their small expressions have a kind of sadness that is unrequited, including a touch of sadness, which makes Xiao Rui laugh.

Jia Xu exclaimed: "Your Highness is clever. The world doesn't know that Hao Yun is His Highness's confidant, and also impeached His Highness. There should be a gap with His Highness. In addition, Champion Hou and Zhongyonghou, all three of them raised 1000 taels before they got the invitation letter. Enmity and relatives are the same, and they are treated equally, which will completely block their mouths, so that they have to honestly take out the money if they are unwilling or unwilling. Unless they don't participate in the charity auction."

Xiao Rui sneered and said, "Not participating? Wei Guang, how many people have purchased the invitation letter now?"

Wei Guang said: "The stewards of [-] mansions have already purchased invitation letters, and the number of people expected by His Highness is still far behind. For example, several state mansions have not sent anyone."

"Don't worry, wait until tomorrow morning to see if they are in a hurry, then they won't be able to buy it for 1000 taels. Just because my grandson is the prince, why don't I accept my king's tricks? Hmph, let's see who admits defeat first." Xiao Rui Not at all worried.

He looked at Jia Xu again and asked, "Sir, how are the people from the top ten merchants in the capital?"

Jia Xu said: "Seven people have come, I told them to wait in the side hall, the other three are coming, they heard that they have something to do with tomorrow's charity fundraising, so naturally they dare not neglect."

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Wei Guang, go and have a look, and tell me when everyone is ready, these top ten chambers of commerce are also very rich, they have to make a good contribution this time, and don't kill them ruthlessly , I can’t get over it.”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wei Guang retreated immediately.

But at this moment, the system really came into motion.

"Ding dong... The new task is open, please check the host."

Xiao Rui's smile was even worse. With such a big event, the system will keep calm?

Such a long time of communication also allowed Xiao Rui to see the character of the system. He could basically tell when a mission would come, but Xiao Rui still couldn't guess what mission would come.

He checked it quickly, and saw that the tasks were as follows:

"New task: raise money for the poor, raise 50 taels, drop value +10, raise 70 taels, drop value +20, raise 100 million taels, drop value +30, raise more than 120 million taels, drop value + 40. Although the host is suspected of seeking personal gain, but considering helping the poor people, there is no punishment for the failure of this mission."

Xiao Rui ignored the system's sarcasm, he was already attracted by the generous rewards of the mission.

If it is more than 120 million taels, the advent value will be +40, which is really rich, and you can also withdraw 12%, that is [-] taels...

What annual leave, what holiday!

In order to protect the world's poor and happy people, I have to raise more than 120 million charitable funds even if I fight this old life. This is the consciousness that a prince has. Death is enough.

"Sir, you are helping me think about it. Where can I raise more money?" Xiao Rui couldn't think of any more ideas for a while, so he asked Jia Xu for help.

Jia Xu smiled wryly and said, "I'm good at conspiracies and tricks, but I'm not good at doing business. Don't embarrass me, Your Highness. I have a specialization in art."

Xiao Rui didn't force it, but at this moment, Wei Guang who had left in a hurry came back.

"Your Highness, all the stewards of the top ten chambers of commerce have arrived." Wei Guang reported.

Xiao Rui stood up and said, "Let's go, these people are all my sons of good fortune."

Arriving at the side hall, just as Xiao Rui entered, he saw ten chamber of commerce stewards stand up quickly, and said respectfully, "My villain pays homage to His Royal Highness King Xian!"

Xiao Rui glanced around, unexpectedly seeing an acquaintance, among them the leopard.

Xiao Rui sat on the upper seat, waved his hands, smiled all over his face, and said: "Sit down, don't be restrained, do you know why this king summoned you to the mansion?"

The ten people sat down. Although they had heard and guessed, they still pretended not to know and shook their heads.

Xiao Rui went straight to the point and said: "I believe you have all heard that the snow has been falling outside for a whole day, and it has not disappeared. I believe it will not stop tomorrow. The scale covers the entire Gyeonggi area. Although the Gyeonggi area is economically prosperous, but There are still poor people. They may be able to eat enough, but they live in simple houses. During this heavy snowfall, there are not a few people whose houses have been crushed, and the roads and villages are blocked by the heavy snow. There is no livelihood, how can they live a good year?"

"Your Majesty's grace is vast, so tomorrow night, a charity auction will be held. Your Majesty will take out his own treasures. The queens and concubines in the harem, as well as princes, will all take out good things and auction them off at high prices. All the proceeds will be used to relieve the people affected by the snow disaster!"

"And I came to you today to ask, are your ten chambers of commerce interested in participating? Your ten chambers of commerce are the largest chambers of commerce in the capital. This opportunity is rare, so take advantage of it."

After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the maids served new tea again.
