C509 Firework City (1/2)

Collection?

If I'm not wrong... Was it to make a donation? Mu Ru Yue was a little stunned. Although she had promised Jun Ru that he would come to the capital to collect money in the future, it didn't mean that she was willing to raise money here!

Helping Qing Xun stabilize the slaves? Thinking about this, Mu Ru Yue felt disgusted!

However, these slaves were helpless even though Qing Xun was in the wrong. Mu Ru Yue's heart was torn as she looked at Qing Xun with a complicated expression. She saw that his smile was still as gentle as before.

He could only pull out a smile and said, ”The Crown Prince is still alive. We can only have him prove it.” This wangfei's words … ”Let's just honestly donate.”

”It's good that the wangfei has such intentions.”

Ling'er walked to the side of the city and took a deep breath, then used her Qi to emit a loud voice: ”All the residents of Peony City, as well as those who had just been rescued, are waiting for their return. As of now, Peony City is not in a good mood, the current crown prince has specially arranged for a donation, and the people who are not from within the city, if they were to receive a donation, will be sent to the city gates of Peony City, where they will be exempted from payment for entry fees.

If the people of the city donate money, it would be exempt from tax for a year. ”

As soon as Ling'er finished speaking, everyone present cheered. For these people, there was no limit to how much they could donate. However, once they did donate, they would no longer have to pay the city entrance fee. This was extremely worthwhile for some merchants.

As for the locals, they were even happier. Once tax-exempt, these merchants would earn far more than they would donate.

The happiest people were the people who had just been rescued from within the city. They did not have any income and did not even know what would happen in the future.

At this moment, not only were these people cheering, even the City Lords were secretly happy. Peony City was out of luck. At this critical juncture, the matter of a slave getting caught by the crown prince just so happened to be the case.

Even though he might look innocent for doing such a countermeasure, in reality, who wouldn't be well aware of the situation? All he could do was trick those stupid slaves. But that had nothing to do with them. In order to pacify the people and gain a good reputation, Qing Xun used this kind of method to invite everyone for a donation. In the short term, the income of Peony City would not be very high.

Without the reputation of the Twelve Cities, Peony City no longer needed their attention. All they had to do was take care of themselves, and the slaves would strive to become the twelve new cities. This trip was not in vain.

Thinking of this, the eight city lords all had smiles plastered on their faces. One of the city lords spoke out, ”I may not be the owner of this city, but I should do my best for the sake of my people since I am so loyal to the City of Qing Xun. After all, everyone was from the next month.

”How about this, I will donate a hundred thousand taels of silver on behalf of our Blue Moon City. I hope that it will be able to solve your urgent problem.”

The words of the City Lord caused everyone to be even more excited.

Qing Xun's brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. His gentle smile gave off a refreshing feeling. His gaze landed on the City Lord and smiled. ”Many thanks City Lord for his generosity. I am grateful on behalf of the people of Peony City.”

”Since Lan Yue City has donated a hundred thousand silver, we cannot fall behind either. I also want a hundred thousand. ” Another city lord said. In the current economy of the coming months, 100,000 silver wasn't even considered to be much.

Even the nobles in the capital would be willing to pay such a high price for some precious items. Mu Ru Yue's treasure map, or perhaps a land deed, was even more than that. As far as these City Governors were concerned, 100,000 silver was nothing to them, and they were even able to earn a favor. In order to prevent any accidents later on, they naturally competed to be first.

”You two are so crafty! We can't miss a thing like donating money. ”I also …”

One million taels.” As soon as Feng Qing finished speaking, he took out a dozen banknotes from his bosom and placed them in Qing Xun's hands. The city lord of Tianshui City, who was about to speak, suddenly felt a wave of awkwardness. What a joke, Feng Qing had already donated a million silver taels. If he dared to say that it was too little, then wouldn't he be underestimating this matter?

The mayor of the city had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He looked at Feng Qing and then at the crowd before smiling in embarrassment, ”With the Crown Prince in front, this subordinate will donate one million taels of silver. What does Your Highness think?”

The mayor of Tianshui City asked.

Feng Qing looked at him and nodded, ”Yes.”
