At the same time, Zhu Yunxian was intensively preparing to continue to issue treasury bonds and generate income.
The people of the capital were not to be outdone.
There was a big movement.
A "Letter of Initiative to All the People of the Capital" caused an unprecedented sensation in the Capital!
This article, drafted by an unknown person, called on capable people in the capital to contribute money and efforts to the Ming Dynasty's land reform cause.
This triggered a frenzy of donations.
This trend even swept among officials and even the palace.
In the palace, many palace residents secretly donated some of their wealth.
When Zhu Yunxuan learned about this, he was also very puzzled...
This matter really has nothing to do with him.
Although he is indeed short of money, he won't stare at these three melons and two dates, right? Donate, how much money can you donate?
It's nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
"Jiang Wei, go and find out who wrote this "Letter of Initiative to All the People of the Capital"?"
Zhu Yunxuan gave instructions casually.
There is no other meaning in knowing this matter, it is just pure curiosity.
"Your Highness Taisun, this proposal was written by Fang Xiaoru."
Jiang Wei answered directly.
It seems that the investigation has been carried out a long time ago. Nothing about this capital matter can be hidden from the eyes of Jin Yiwei.
"Fang Xiaoru?"
Zhu Yunxuan was stunned for a moment. How could this sour and rotten scholar, who was a bit stupid about reading, actually think of this?
But after all, the pattern and vision are still not enough.
Even if the so-called proposal triggers a craze, how many thousands of taels of silver can be donated?
After all, it's just a show.
He moved the people of the capital and gained fame, but in the end the money he could actually collect was less than one ten thousandth of what was needed for land reform.
"This old guy will cause trouble for me."
"That's fine. Since you want fame, I'll give it to you! But... the price is a bit high!"
Zhu Yunzhen's heart moved.
I also plan to mix it in a little bit.
Let these people know that if you want a good reputation, you have to buy it with real money!
The next day.
Fengtian Palace, early morning.
After handling state affairs as usual, Zhu Yunxuan said with a relaxed expression: "I heard that the capital has been very lively recently?"
"Someone held a fund-raising meeting, so that the people in the capital actively raised funds."
"Support the imperial court in carrying out land reform?"
below.
Fang Xiaoru, who was on the edge of the group of ministers, suddenly felt happy.
Did Taisun also notice this?
Zhu Yunxu looked at the uncontrollable smile on Fang Xiaoru's lips, which revealed all his inner thoughts.
This man can't hide anything in his heart.
I'm afraid I've made up my mind to wait until the fundraising reaches its climax.
He stood up again and admitted that he was the one who wrote the proposal, gaining popularity.
Continue to consolidate his position as a leader in the literary world.
I have to say that Fang Xiaoru's trick of asking for credit and fame was very smooth.
Unfortunately, there is almost no ability to do practical things.
At the same time, he accepted death and decided that Confucianism was very rigid.
But the good thing is that he will not refute the implementation of benevolent government, but will strongly support it.
Unfortunately, sometimes benevolent government is divorced from reality.
Down below, it may turn into bad governance, and these people often don't realize their mistakes and are very stubborn.
Therefore, Zhu Yunxuan never thought of reusing these so-called "clear streams".
"Reporting to Your Highness, that's exactly what happened."
The person who replied was Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, and Yu Xin, the right servant of the household department, both of whom were the right-hand men of the household department.
They are all extremely talented people.
But Xia Yuanji is a little younger, less than thirty years old, and at this time he is not as good as Yu Xin.
"There is a surge of donations in the capital, and people are petitioning. Our household department will be in charge of this donation."
"To date, we have raised 23,129 taels of silver."
"They have all been sealed in the treasury."
Xia Yuanji remembered the specific number clearly.
The work is also very organized.
Zhu Yunxuan was very satisfied. This was a useful person. Now the imperial treasury spends tens of thousands of taels of silver every day.
It is precisely such excellent talents that are needed!
"It's very good." Zhu Yunxuan praised it, and then said: "Although the money is not much, it is the sincerity of the people of the capital."
"I can't help but express my feelings. Let's do this. I will allocate 10,000 taels of silver from the palace's funds to express my feelings."
"At the same time, in view of the enthusiasm of the people this time."
"I plan to set up three donation stones outside the gate of the capital city. The top three people who donated this time can all leave their names on this stone."
"Let the people of the capital know that there are righteous people in this world!"
"I am willing to give up all my wealth for the people of the world!"
Zhu Yunxu threw out the bait and began to invite you to enter the urn.
as expected.
The next moment, there was a violent reaction in the court!
Everyone couldn't help but gleam in their eyes. You know, countless people came in and out of the capital city gate day and night.
If only I could leave my name on this stone.
Didn’t the reputation spread immediately? When the time comes, it will inevitably be praised by thousands of people and leave a name in history.
And to be realistic, reputation is also useful for promotion!
If everyone thinks well of you, the emperor will still appoint you even if he doesn't like you!
It also functions as a talisman.
Who wouldn't want this honor? Who is not greedy?
But there are only three such fundraising stones... If you want to win, you must be among the top three in fundraising!
It seems that this time, I am really going to be ruthless and scrape the flesh from my body!
"Great Sun Gaoyi! This is how it should be!"
Xia Yuanji understood it and roughly guessed Zhu Yunxuan's thoughts.
He quickly agreed.
In fact, he couldn't stand the way these people wanted to take credit and gain fame, but were reluctant to pay.
Twenty thousand silver, in the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, what is enough for it?
For land reform, it is not even a drop in the bucket!
If it weren't for the petition from the people in the capital, the Ministry of Revenue would not actually want to take charge of this matter. After all, the amount of silver flowing out of the Ministry of Revenue every day is far more than 20,000 taels!
Now Taisun has come up with such an idea.
It can be regarded as a kind of conspiracy.
It's okay to want fame, but you have to actually spend money to buy it!
As for how much it will cost, it depends on what you can afford.
"This donation ceremony will be scheduled in three days."
"It will be hosted by Gu Lone himself!"
"I want to see for myself who are the three righteous men who are willing to give up their wealth for all the people in the world!"
The higher Zhu Yunzhen's promotion is now, the more expensive these three places will be by then!
At the very least, he would have to bleed profusely!
Want to gain fame with just tens of thousands of taels of silver? I really think too much!
Fang Xiaoru below suddenly looked bitter.
Taisun's fate will definitely be the focus of everyone, and he has also launched three very attractive fundraising stones... I'm afraid even if he stands up and says that he wrote the proposal.
It doesn't attract any attention.
"Money...I have to make money!"
Fang Xiaoru also wants to leave her name on the donation stone!
A new idea... came to his mind again...
