The first person to donate is the most thankless person.
If he donates too much, other businesses will have to follow him, and he will become the target of public criticism; If you donate too little, you will be displeased by the emperor and become a target of attack by the officials present.
As for the imperial court encouraging everyone to seize the market, to be honest, this is not very attractive to brocade merchants.
Their main business focus is still on brocade, and they will not invest too much manpower and material resources in cotton spinning and blending.
If you are greedy, you will lose a lot for a small amount.
Fang Chu turned around calmly and asked Han Xiyi: "How much do you donate?"
All the merchants couldn't help but secretly praise his clever question.
Since Xie Yinyue was so generous and her mother's family donated the ancestral property, she couldn't donate 20 million to her husband's family on behalf of the Han family.
Han Xiyi became more calm and reported casually: "The Han family has three hundred thousand taels."
This is already a large amount.
I don’t know how many weavers have to weave many pieces of gorgeous brocade to earn so much silver.
People only see that the brocade weaving family has money, and few people calculate how many generations they have accumulated it.
Fang Chu then said loudly: "The Fang family also has three hundred thousand taels.
The little Fang family has two hundred thousand taels."
Qingya said from the side: "Twenty thousand taels from the Guo family."
After that, she explained to the Empress Dowager and others: "Weaving is no better than brocade, and the profit is thin.
My family only has two workshops, which have never been expanded, and they don't make much money."
In fact, she only wanted to donate 10,000 taels, but look at this The formation cannot survive without some blood.
The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, showing no signs of happiness or anger.
The officials were dissatisfied and winked at each other.
In the end, it was Feng Shangshu who came forward.
He has already submitted his petition, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.
He directly stared at Qingya and mocked: "Guo Zhinu is so generous.
I heard that Zhinu has competed with Xie Yinyue every year since her debut.
Why is she holding back on disaster relief?
If she doesn't compete with her, it seems that Zhinu can't do anything."
They are people who seek fame and reputation, and when they get a good reputation, they shrink back when they see the real thing.”
Fang Chu's eyes flashed sharply and he was about to speak.
Qingya grabbed him and stood up.
She looked at Feng Shangshu seriously.
Her dark eyes were dark and not as clear as usual.
They seemed to be covered with a layer of fog and had an inexplicable meaning.
However, Feng Shangshu clearly understood her questioning: "Why do you always target people?"
How have I offended you?
What evil things have I done?”
Feng Shangshu showed no mercy and looked directly at her You didn’t do anything evil, but you were wrong in advocating business; you gave business affairs a veneer of elegance, attracted and used literati, and raised your social status, which was an unforgivable crime.
When Fang first saw Feng Shangshu openly making a fuss about Qingya, his dislike for him suddenly soared.
Like a lurking cheetah, he allowed Qingya and Feng Shangshu to confront each other while looking for an opportunity to strike.
Han Xiyi, Shen Hanqiu and others were all on guard.
On this occasion, they are not as aloof as Qingya.
They can only wait like Fang Chu, always ready to lend a helping hand to Qingya.
Yan Weiyang happened to be sitting opposite Xie Yinyue.
At this time, he smiled sarcastically at her, as if to say, "You are really a bodhisattva.
By donating your ancestral property, we have become unkind."
Xie Yinyue sat upright like a bell, but frowned secretly.

She didn't expect that donating her ancestral property would cause such trouble, so she made a mistake.
Now she and the Xie family have become the target of public criticism.
I need to think of some way to resolve it.
Then I heard Qingya say: "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.
May I ask how much you are prepared to donate?"
Feng Shangshu said calmly: "The old minister has retired and returned to his hometown.
Before leaving, I caught up with the emperor and the empress dowager to preside over this fund-raising.
How dare I fail to contribute my meager efforts.
The old minister gave up his family property and donated 20,000 taels."
Since he was going to attack Qingya, how could he not be prepared.
With the help of everyone, he raised a sum of money for disaster relief.
Twenty thousand taels, the same amount as the Guo family donated.
However, unlike merchants, court officials have property, and even if they do, they operate it secretly, so his 20,000 yuan is not comparable to the Guo family's 20,000 yuan, or in other words, it compares to the Guo family's.
Qingya asked: "How much will you donate next year and how much will you donate next year?"
Feng Shangshu was stunned: "Next year and the year after that" How can he still donate next year and the year after that?
After his son was convicted, he retired and returned home, even his livelihood was in question.
Qingya then asked: "How much did you donate last year and how much did you donate the year before last?"
Feng Shangshu: "" Qingya looked around at the merchants in the hall and said: "The Fang family and these people have donated every year for many years.
As long as there is a disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, they will provide disaster relief, build bridges and roads, build schools and temples, they are like Dajing."
Hens that can lay eggs lay eggs every day.
Your Majesty is going to kill all the chickens in Dajing today and stew them in one pot."
Feng Shangshu's face turned red and white, mixed with shame and anger.
He was humiliated by Qingya several times, but what he said was very simple truth, which made him lose face.
He had accumulated a lot of hatred for a long time, but he could only catch Qingya's wrong attacks.
He changed the subject without leaving any trace: "People say that Guo Zhinu is not good at words, but I have dealt with Zhinu several times and found that Zhinu is very articulate and very eloquent."
The hoarse voice rose and said solemnly: "My lord is wrong."
Feng Shangshu sneered and said, "I have wronged the Weaver Girl."
Qingyao said: "Because I tell the truth, I hit the nail on the head, unlike those hypocrites who only use words to trick people, which are pleasing to the ears but cannot stand the test of facts."
Feng Shangshu said in a deep voice: "Weaver Girl said that I am a hypocrite."
Silent and silent, he asked instead: "Sir, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Feng Shangshu asked: "What do you want to bet on?"
His bet with Fang Chu is not over yet.
Qingya said: "Choose two people, one is smart and the other is stupid, and give each of them two hundred taels of silver as capital.
After one year, let's see who of them earns more."
Feng Shangshu felt relieved and sneered: "Weaver Girl wants to bet that smart people will make money."
Qingya said: "Those who are mistaken for being smart may not necessarily make money.
It is not a good thing for people to be too smart.
Sometimes being clever is mistaken for cleverness.
It is the right thing to do things in a down-to-earth manner."
These words made many people suspicious, thinking that Weaver Girl was hinting at them.
Xie Yinyue's first suspicion was that Qingya was sarcastic about herself.
Feng Shangshu's second suspicion was that Qingya was referring to himself. and other officials and merchants Feng Shangshu asked angrily: "What does Zhinu want to bet on?"
Qingyao said in a loud voice: "Bet they will definitely make different amounts of money, the gap is huge.
Let the person who earns more give the money to another person, and bet he will agree willingly.
Will he feel guilty if he agrees?

Master Resentment, do you dare to bet with me?"
Feng Shangshu's heart sank to the bottom of his heart, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead in the middle of winter.
Before he could answer, there was a buzzing sound below like bees exploding.
Does this still need to be answered?
Who is willing to share his hard-earned money with others?
Qingya used this simple method to make people understand the fact that the world is troubled by ordinary people.
Because the Fang family and other aristocratic families are very wealthy, in the face of disaster relief, people instinctively feel that they should take more money; but few people think that the aristocratic families Money is earned in one tael and one tael and accumulated year by year.
There is no reason to ask others to squander it.
This is like a beggar who despises others for giving too little alms.
Disasters happen every year.
If we really had to donate like this, these families would have collapsed long ago.
When Qingya saw that Feng Shangshu was silent, he was not willing to let him go, so he asked, "Do you dare to bet, sir?"
Good morning, girls, do you dare to bet and let me double my recommendation votes?
Everyone rolled their eyes: Tsk, word games, too lazy to pay attention to you.
