Now that the country is in danger, many people are naturally worried and nervous. Even if some people don't care about the lives of ordinary people, they are afraid that the country will be destroyed and their homes will be displaced.

When Zhong Li donated so much, some ladies were very emotional.

Zhong Li added: "Bengong intends to have someone engraved a roster, engraving the name and money of each donor, and then ask a scholar to do it for him, and also talk about everyone's copying of the prayer scriptures. , maybe it can be passed down through the ages.”

When everyone heard the words, they were all a little shocked. Some of them were unwilling to give money, and their hearts couldn't help but move.

Zhong Li didn't say any more, and smiled: "It's getting late, let's end today, if you want to donate, you can bring the money in three days, it's up to Mrs. Anguo and the three elders of the pavilion. The daughter-in-law is in charge."

The four people named by her all came out and made promises that they would do it well.

Zhong Li smiled and said, "I hope the amount of our donation will surprise the men of the previous dynasty."

She was born with a fairy-like appearance, and when she laughed, it made the whole palace feel radiant. After she finished speaking, she let everyone go away.

It was only after the ladies left the palace that they started talking about it. There were originally some people who complained about Zhong Li's troubles in their hearts and advocated donations well. If she advocated like this, everyone must donate.

After the engraving of the roster, everyone's mentality changed again. If you spend a little money, it can be passed down through the ages. It can't be more cost-effective. There are not many ladies who don't care about their face and reputation. How much are they going to pay.

In the evening, Pei Xing naturally knew what she had done. Seeing that she had donated 50,000 taels, Pei Xing couldn't express her feelings. He naturally knew that all of her actions were to share the pressure for him.

He also softened into a ball in his heart, and only felt that he must have been in a previous life, and only after accumulating blessings could he meet her in this life.

He couldn't help lowering his head and kissed her on the lips. His movements were cautious, as if he was dealing with some treasure. "After the war is over, I will definitely double the jewelry to you."

Afraid that he would blame himself, Zhong Li bent her lips and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait for my husband's compensation."

Her husband's voice made Pei Xing startle for a moment, and a burst of enthusiasm surged in his chest. He lowered his head and kissed her lips again, his heart was unbelievably soft.

In the evening, many women told their husbands about Zhong Li's proposal to donate money and engraved the roster. Naturally, many people praised Zhong Li.

Even Zhao Ge Lao couldn't help but praise, "The Empress has a deep sense of righteousness and wisdom, and she has the style of the founding queen."

There are also ministers who specially told their wives, "Since the Queen Mother has mentioned this matter, don't donate too little. Now that the country is in trouble, you can contribute as much as you can, so as not to be embarrassed."

But there are also people who think that Zhong Li is insidious, and even engraving a roster, asking a great Confucian to do the Fu, it is clearly to use money to buy fame, it is really a name and a reputation, and it is a waste to be the mother of the country.

No matter what everyone thinks in private, time is moving slowly, and the ladies are also actively preparing for the money.

Three days later, the ladies entered the palace again, and Zhong Li asked four desks to be set up, and four ladies, including Duke An Guogong, collected the money and copied the names and amounts.

There are many noble ladies who have a good heart. They are afraid that others will donate too much, so they bring a lot of bank notes and put them in three pockets, ranging from 1,000 taels, 5,000 taels, and 10,000 taels. . This is because I am afraid that if you donate too much, you will be embarrassed if you don’t have enough.

There are several noble ladies who are very rich and don't care about the money at all. They just hope that because of the more money they give out, they can rank higher on the donation list. Like Zhong Li, they all gave out 50,000 taels.

Mrs. An Guogong also donated 30,000 taels. She came from a noble family and had a lot of dowry. Although she was a bit noble, she was always generous. Zhong Li's donation of 50,000 taels touched her very much, and she did what she could. Thirty thousand taels of silver.

There were a few of them at the beginning, and those with three sums of money were embarrassed to pay only one thousand taels, and they paid the most money. Although it hurts, they didn't want to be too embarrassed to see everyone paying so much.

A lot of people donate 10,000 taels, and 10,000 taels of silver is naturally not a small amount. Some ladies have never even seen so much money. For example, Mrs. Lu, her husband has always been a gentleman, and naturally he can’t save much by salary alone. She sold all the jewelry. , and only saved 300 taels. was afraid that 300 taels was too little. She also sold a few paintings of her husband, barely enough for 500 taels.

In the end, the smallest donation amounted to five hundred taels. The ladies who donated 500 taels were all from poor families. In order to prepare for the 500 taels, they even sold part of the dowry.

Seeing that these ladies were all a little ashamed, Zhong Li couldn't help comforting her, "We donated everything we can. It's amazing to be able to donate so much. You should be proud."

After listening to her persuasion, these ladies felt a little relieved.

Dozens of noble ladies actually donated a full 753,000 taels of silver. This amount of money is not intimidating, even Zhong Li did not expect that everyone would donate so much.

In the early morning, she asked Eunuch Huang to present the money together with the donation quota. Whether it was copying the prayer scriptures or donating money, all the ministers had heard of it, but they didn't even expect that the amount of donation would be huge.There are so many.

In order to praise these people, Pei Xing also specially asked Huang Gonggong to read the donation amount of each lady one by one, and finally praised them again.

Some ministers have long known how much their wives have donated, and some ministers only know the specific amount.Curse the prodigal women.

In any case, the money was donated, and those who were highly praised naturally had a light on their faces. Seeing that Pei Xing did not suspect that they were embezzling, everyone was really relieved.

This money, of course, helped a lot.

It wasn't until the roster was carved that everyone discovered that Zhong Li had indeed followed his promise and had invited a great Confucian of the dynasty to do the Fu. To everyone's shock, there was no Zhong Li's name on the roster. Except for Zhong Li, everyone else's name was impressive.In example.
