Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Concubine Zhao looked at the electric shock device curiously, "Sister, this thing is amazing, I haven't seen it before. You mean, there is electricity in it, and it can shock people to death?"

"Yes, there is electricity in here. It's very powerful, so it can't be used to shock people casually. But if anyone dares to bully you, she will be in danger!" Yun Ruoyue handed the electric shock device to Princess Zhao.

Concubine Zhao immediately felt that this thing was very powerful.

She took a look in her hand and said, "Thank you, sister, don't worry, I will keep it well. I will return it to you when you come back from the disaster relief."

"Okay, I hope you will give birth to the baby safely, and you will never need it." Yun Ruoyue said.

The auction held by the queen actually sold a total of 1.5 million taels of silver.

In addition to the 500,000 taels she raised earlier, she actually raised two million taels of silver in just two days.

She raised two million taels at once, and she didn't stop.

She asked Mrs. Wei Guo to use her empress's prestige to continue raising funds among the people, striving to raise three million taels of silver.

Sure enough, as soon as the people in the capital heard that there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, even the empress came out to raise money to save people.

They were moved, and the whole family began to donate money.

There was an uncle who swept the floor and even donated his savings for many years, a total of three taels of silver, into Mrs. Wei's box.

There were also some people who were already living in difficulties, donated more than half of their rice, and donated it to Mrs. Wei's carriage one after another.

For the sake of their own families, the common people worked together and united with each other. In just three days, they donated more than one million taels of silver!

So on the night of the third day, when Mrs. Wei sent someone to count the money, she found that the queen had raised three million taels of silver in three days!

She couldn't believe it.

She hurriedly entered the palace and came to Ronghua Palace, "Sister, we have made a fortune. It seems that the flood in the south of the Yangtze River is really serious this time, and the people are really pitiful. In the past, when we raised funds, we could raise hundreds of thousands of taels at most. But this time, a total of three million taels was raised, which is one-tenth of our national treasury!"

"What? You raised so much?" The queen was eating watermelon, and when she heard this, she stood up happily.

"Really, the donations from the concubines, plus the donations from the auction, and the donations from the common people, you and I donate a penny. The total is 3.05 million taels of silver! Sister, the momentum is so good now, you said we want Do you want to continue raising money?" Mrs. Wei asked.

The queen thought for a while, then waved her hand and said: "I don't think we can raise any more. There must be a limit to everything. When the moon is full, you will lose money, and when the water is full, you will overflow. We have enough! If we continue to raise money, we will spend Chu Xuanchen's money. If all the funds are robbed and he can't raise a penny, I'm afraid he will jump over the wall and make trouble. Tomorrow we will stop fundraising and use disaster relief instead!"

"My sister is right. We have already raised three million taels, so we can stop. What kind of disaster relief method will my sister plan tomorrow?"

The queen smiled, "It's the same as before. Just take tens of thousands of taels of silver, build a shop, buy some rice, and cook some porridge to give to the poor. This time too many people died of starvation, and you even gave porridge for seven days to show that you are a good person." Bengong Rende. The rest of the money will be kept in your villa as before. When the limelight passes, we will share the accounts!"

"But sister, we have raised so much money this time, even if we distribute porridge for seven days, it will only cost tens of thousands of taels of silver at most. Will it be suspicious? Will people say that we have raised so much to get it? Such a small amount of money for disaster relief?" Mrs. Wei Guo asked worriedly.
