Chapter 880: Give the world a peace
This wine was brewed by Xu Jiaojiao, and the store was opened by Xu Jiaojiao, so this speech was better than Liao Qing.
Liao Qing’s current identity is the eldest master of the Du Mansion. If he comes forward, others will involuntarily think of the Du Mansion level.
As soon as Xu Jiaojiao finished speaking, the crowd became even more excited.
"I donated all my money to 5,000 taels of silver and also auctioned the gold list wine. This female boss has a stronger courage than a man's family!"
"I'm really willing to give up! Two thousand pounds of wine on the list of gold lists are said to be worth several taels of silver. Wouldn't it be a few thousand taels or tens of thousands of taels?"
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, are you afraid of saying that the wine on the list is priceless but not in the market. Usually, it is sold in the black market for more than ten taels per pound. If it is a limited auction, it will probably cost more than ten taels of silver per pound. The wine is a good wine, and I have no choice but to say it. I have all had the honor to drink a glass, which is really a good wine to refresh my mind..."
"The boss Xujiu in Qingxi is really generous. A woman with such a courage can share the country's worries, and even a man like me can't lose."
Some of the merchants from the four neighbors watching below were infected and went back to the shop to withdraw money on the spot.
After a while, a long line was lined up in front of the donation desk.
Not only are there merchants, but also customers who come to buy things, no matter how many of them are.
Some donate a few small money, and some donate a few taels, while others donate a few dozen taels, and even hundreds of taels.
Anyone who donated money was given a name, and it was written by Liao Qing himself. Du Zhengyan wore court clothes and guards to personally inspect the money and notes.
If Du Zhengyan, the Minister of Revenue, was not present, Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing's donation activity would not have been launched.
Only when there is a court-ordered official who manages the economic power of a country in the Ministry of Revenue can people believe that they are donating money to the court and the state.
"I'm a street stall. I don't have much money. I donate ten taels! After donating this month, the whole family will eat big bran. I also want to contribute to Jingchengguan!"
"I run an antique shop next door. I haven't opened it for two years. I don't have ready-made silver. Can I donate antiques? Mr. Du, I donate antiques and let the court take them out for a charity sale, or aren't you going to bid for the gold list wine? I'll help sell them together. No matter how much money I sell, it's all considered to be my donation to Jingchengguan. Is it OK?"
"I sell breakfast buns. I'm a small business and I can only eat and drink for the whole family. I don't need to put my name on it. I don't want to donate five taels. I just hope to finish the war early and give peace in the world..."
The crowd was full of people, and although the amount was not large, there were many people. You five taels, he had ten taels, some didn’t have cash, and some donated valuable things. In the morning, the donations added up to more than the five thousand taels donated by Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing.
Usually, it is only a busy time when queueing in the morning at the entrance of Qingxi winery. This time, until the afternoon, there are still constant people watching.
On the first day, half of the capital city knew about it.
The next day, basically everyone in the capital was informed.
Half of them are here to donate money, and half are here to bid for the gold list to name the wine. The entrance of Qingxi winery is crowded with people.
The people from the honest escort agency came to help maintain the order so that there was no accident.
The merchants who donated donated in turn on the donation stand outside.
Those who exceed 100 taels can enter the first floor of the winery and find a manager to donate.
If you don’t exceed the small amount, you will queue up outside directly.
Customers who want to buy wine from the gold list will go to the second floor, starting from 2,000 kilograms of wine and starting from 10 kilograms. It is not targeted at retail investors. Those who can afford wine from the gold list are rich. The time for the Juren exam has been postponed. Xu Jiaojiao is not targeting students now, but auctioning for donations. The starting price is relatively high, and basically the one who has the highest price wins.
The quantity is limited, and two thousand kilograms of wine will be auctioned in one day.
The silver income from the auction was 13,000 taels, plus the 5,000 taels donated before, the total amount of donations was 18,000 taels.
The number of people on the third day is higher.
The donations in the first two days were retail investors, merchants and people with small amounts.
The people who came on the third day were basically big merchants. After they went back, they thought carefully and discussed the later ones carefully. They donated silver according to their own business scale and ability to bear it.
Several large merchants have been unified and plan to donate 10,000 taels, which is the same as Xu Jiaojiao, the initiator of Qingxi winery. As a result, Xu Jiaojiao said something, which made them change their minds immediately.
Xu Jiaojiao said that the donation will be ranked by the amount, and then it will be the most donated ones.
So, several large merchants changed their minds and began to show their magical powers. From the 10,000 taels that they originally planned to donate, they compared them to more than 15,000 taels.
In the end, the two most powerful merchants, 20,000 taels, were ranked first.
When Du Zhengyan came to bring the silver, he smiled and the harvest was far beyond his expectations.
Thanks to Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing's minds, this was a unique donation event for Jingchengguan. His original meaning was that Xu Jiaojiao took the lead and sent a secret post to each merchant and asked them to donate.
Unexpectedly, Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing did not do this, and directly set up a donation platform to raise donations from all merchants and customers. No matter how much they are, everyone will do their best. Xu Jiaojiao's speech was simple and sensational, which preserved the face for the royal family and inspired the people's desire to defend their country.
The donation event was not called by anyone, but it was even better than calling for a large merchant.
Especially the magical strokes that are ranked in sequence. Everyone thought that since Qingxi Wine House took the lead in donating, the name of Qingxi Wine House should be at the forefront. Unexpectedly, they still have the opportunity to show their faces first in front of the emperor, so it is naturally different.
Therefore, this secret comparison invisibly produced tens of thousands of taels of silver.
At the end, when the list was almost sorted out, Xu Jiaojiao added a name to He Yanxi, the He Family Store.
The He Family Store also has shops in the capital, but for some reason it closed and no one came to participate in this donation activity.
She added two thousand taels to He Yanxi.
This was given to her by He Yanxi in various names before, and she has been preserved and has not been used.
When she came to the capital, she did not bring it with her and handed it over to Xu Zhang for safekeeping. However, this time, Xu Zhang was afraid that they would not have any money in the capital, so she asked the people in the escort agency to send it to them together.
