The system forced me to be emperor

The stewards of the ten chambers of commerce suddenly breathed three points faster. Although they were mentally prepared for this, they were still shocked. After all, His Majesty held such a grand event, which was always attended by dignitaries. When it was their turn, they would at most borrow it afterwards. Dongfeng, earning a small profit, never thought of being able to participate directly.

"Your Highness, I don't know what you mean by pointing to participate?" Qian Bao saw Xiao Rui's eyes glanced at him, and he immediately understood and asked.

Xiao Rui was quite satisfied with Jinbao's scrutiny, he said: "Tomorrow night's event, His Majesty and the Queen will go, and all the powerful and powerful people in the capital will go. If he can't go, it can only show that he is an insignificant person. No qualifications. And if on such an important occasion, your chamber of commerce can hang some promotional slogans or product introductions on the spot, how do you think the strength of this promotion will be? Which chamber of commerce do you belong to?"

Xiao Rui deliberately asked Jinbao.

Money Leopard said: "The villain belongs to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce."

Xiao Rui continued: "Then I will use the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce as an example, such as hanging a promotional slogan at the event site: Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, wealth is prosperous, trust is prosperous, and financial resources are smooth! You say that such slogans are seen by His Majesty and the dignitaries. In my eyes, what kind of effect will it bring if it is heatedly discussed by the people after the event?"

The leopard's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately asked, "Your Highness, how much does this promotion cost? Our Hengtong Chamber of Commerce will cover it all!"

The other managers couldn't care less about being reserved. They were all business experts, so they could naturally see the value of this publicity.

"Your Highness, our Wanshun Chamber of Commerce is also willing to contract all the promotional slogans!"

"Your Highness, our Hengtai Chamber of Commerce is also willing!"

.......

The stewards of the ten families were arguing endlessly, Xiao Rui raised his hand to calm them down.

"This king calls this event bidding. Since you are all interested in this event, then I will just order it directly. A promotional slogan starts at 5 taels. Because the space is limited, a maximum of five slogans can be placed, and red paper and black mills are mixed with gold powder. It is guaranteed to attract attention! Let's start now, the highest bidder wins!" Xiao Rui said with a smile.

The ten stewards are delayed, and the starting price is 5 taels. It is just a slogan. This is simply a money grab!

As expected, the Golden Leopard was chosen by Xiao Rui. He took the lead and said, "Your Highness, 5 taels, I want two from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce!"

"Very good! I believe His Majesty will remember the name of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce in his heart when he sees the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce's full support for this charity auction!" Xiao Rui said casually.

As soon as these words came out, the ten stewards who were still hesitating bid one after another.

"Your Highness, 5 taels, I want two!"

"Your Highness, 1000 taels, I want three!"

.......

After a heated debate, the bidding for the five promotional slogans was completed. Before the charity auction started, Xiao Rui had already raised 28 taels of silver.

The stewards who won were beaming with joy, while those who were not won were downcast.

At this time, Xiao Rui said again: "Okay, the bidding is completed, and the next step is sponsorship."

"Sponsorship?" All the stewards were taken aback.

Xiao Rui said: "Of course! The tableware, snacks, tea, and drinks used in the event can all be sponsored, and as the host of the event, I will thank the chamber of commerce that provided the sponsor before the event starts. Of course, these are just casual mentions , if any chamber of commerce sponsors a large amount of money, then the king will take time out to express his gratitude, and these words of thanks are naturally for His Majesty to hear. I believe His Majesty will be very pleased that there is a chamber of commerce that can benefit the world. This is also the blessing of Daxia!"

In an instant, the stewards, who had just calmed down, raised their hearts again.

......

Let Wei Guang send away all the stewards. Jia Xu has already got a stack of IOUs in his hands. This is the IOU written by the chamber of commerce that has received the bidding and sponsorship. After the event, Xiao Rui will be able to withdraw the money with the ticket. Don't have the guts to renege on your debts.

Jia Xu held the seemingly light weight, but with a total of 45 taels of tickets, he took a deep breath and felt a little dreamy.

Money is so easy to earn?

However, Xiao Rui felt that it was extremely normal. The advertising expenses before the news broadcast in the previous life were astronomical, tens of millions per second, and what he wanted was already considered a small amount.

"Your Highness, bidding and sponsorship are too clever. I don't need to contribute a penny. I have venues, refreshments, drinks, etc., but thanking these chambers of commerce openly in front of His Majesty, and even pulling out slogans on the spot, will it offend His Majesty? Displeased?" Wu Zhanfa worried.

Xiao Rui shook his head and said: "Your Majesty will not be displeased, at most he will reprimand me for nonsense, but with so much money in front of him, he is too embarrassed to criticize. But afterward, many people will be jealous, and then impeach me, the impeachment memorial Like snowflakes. But don’t be afraid, as long as you raise more money, you can help more people, so why not do it?”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Your Highness is right, what we do is not only seen by His Majesty, but also by the world."

Xiao Rui looked at the heavy snow outside. Although the snow scene was good, he still hoped that the snow would stop!

Chapter 203: People live, seize the day!

In the evening, the third prince Xiao Ze returned to Prince Xian's Mansion. He had already found the venue for the charity auction. It was the most luxurious No. [-] Scholar Building in the capital. It's a lake view.The four-story building has a performance platform in the center and a special private room. You can see the downstairs platform through the window, which is just right for auctions.

Xiao Ze went out in person, and it was a matter of course.After the shopkeeper of the Zhuangyuan Building learned about the situation, he waived the bills for all customers that day, emptied the Zhuangyuan Building, and then arranged for the servants to clean the room, carefully, not letting go of any place.

His Majesty is coming here tomorrow night, and no carelessness is allowed.

At the same time, Wei Dabao of Dongchang came personally. He came to Xiao Rui for two purposes. He asked about the location of the charity auction. He had to arrange defenses for Dongchang and Jinyiwei now. His Majesty's going out of the palace was no small matter, and he had to be careful and prudent.

The second is also learned from Hai Dafu that King Xian recommended Dongchang to be responsible for the use of the donation. Hai Dafu couldn't do it himself, so it naturally fell to Wei Dabao. It is still a major event that His Majesty attaches great importance to, and it is a credit if it is done well, so Wei Dabao naturally dare not neglect it.

When Xiao Rui sent Wei Dabao away, it was already dark.

The heavy snow howled and never stopped.

Xiao Rui hurried into the palace at night, while Emperor Xia was still reviewing the memorial in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and summoned Xiao Rui.

After entering the palace, Xiao Rui bowed his hands in greeting, looked up at Emperor Xia, and found that he was still seriously reviewing the memorial.

His temples are a little gray, and his face is twilight, especially under the light, it looks even older.

He already knows his destiny. He is no longer a young man at this age, and he doesn't have so much energy to consume. He handles state affairs with high intensity every day. It seems that he does not consume physical energy, but mental fatigue is even more devastating.

Looking at the emperors of other countries, the Emperor Yan of the Great Yan Kingdom also knows the destiny. He is already old and fatuous, his personality is cloudy and uncertain, and he has no intention of handling official duties at all, which makes the already weak Great Yan Kingdom even weaker.

Emperor Zhao of the Great Zhao Kingdom was older than Emperor Xia. He didn't care about government affairs, but fell into suspicion. Although a prince was established, even the prince lived in fear every day, fearing that he would be deposed one day.Moreover, the older Emperor Zhao was, the more he regarded his own dignity as the top priority, and governed the country like a naughty boy.

No matter how far away the emperors of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Great Wei State, and even the Great Qin State, they all had similar things happen. It seems that when the emperor reached this age, they would not care about state affairs and would instead do bad things.

Only Emperor Xia is different, he has been conscientious and hardworking, which may be the reason why the Great Xia Kingdom is flourishing like a brocade.

Sucking his nose, Xiao Rui felt his eyes moist.

"Father, it's getting late, let's take a rest." Xiao Rui couldn't help but spoke suddenly.

Emperor Xia, who was reviewing the memorial, was stunned, looked up at Xiao Rui, and found that his pupils were reddish, he stretched himself, gave the brush to Yan Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile: "Then rest, go prepare Order wine and food, and Ruier and I will have a drink, after the two of you make arrangements, go down and have a rest."

"Yes!" Yan Xiaoxiao and Hai Dafu clasped their hands together.

"How are you preparing for the charity auction?" Emperor Xia asked.

Xiao Rui told Emperor Xia in detail what had happened. After hearing this, Emperor Xia was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but said: "You said that you have raised more than 50 taels of silver before bidding?"

"The 55 taels were collected from the chamber of commerce. By the time the minister entered the palace, more than 20 officials had sent people to purchase the invitation letter, so an additional 2 taels had to be added!" Xiao Rui nodded.

Emperor Xia couldn't help sighing: "Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, you dare to sell 1000 taels of an invitation, and you are indeed my servants. 1000 taels is enough for ordinary people to live for many years? And those chambers of commerce, for the so-called Signs and sponsorship, so willing to spend money..."

"Father, this is normal. It's like this in any country. Most of the money is concentrated in a few hands." Xiao Rui said: "I also ask Father to forgive my son's recklessness. The signboard and sponsorship will definitely happen tomorrow night." Provoking controversy and impeachment, my son did not report to the father in advance."
