How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 342

[342. Chapter 342 Who didn’t give a gift?]

The voice fell and the school martial arts field fell into silence.

Everyone was still savoring Lu Gan’s last words.

Suddenly, a soft voice sounded, and the beautiful Taoist nun sitting in front, Han Tian, smiled softly: “Your Majesty cares about all the people in the world, Master Lu is full of compassion, and I admire you. If you need my help in any way, please let me know clearly, Master Lu. I will do my best!”

“The Cao family is also willing to do their best for Your Majesty.”

Cao He, who was dressed in black, said with a solemn expression.

Before coming, the head of the Cao family, Qian Ding Ling Wan, told Lu Qian that Lu Qian was strong now and not to confront him head-on. No matter what unreasonable demands he had, he had to agree first.

Therefore, he really paid the fine of thirty thousand taels of gold just now.

At this time, a big man in gilded clothes who was sitting at the same table with Cao He spoke with a voice like a thunder: “Master Lu, I am Liu Yong of the Liu family. Please tell me if you have any orders! You alone can suppress Han Zhong and Bai Yuzhu, and make me stronger.” Xuan Shengwei, I, Liu Yong, am willing to help with anything!”

“Thanks to Mr. Lu, the business of our Fang Family Escort Agency has improved a lot recently. As Master Lu orders, our Fang Family Escort Agency will do as we please.”

The next moment, the Chief Escort of the Fang Family Escort Agency. He bowed his head with great respect.

Seeing these four people expressing their opinions, everyone in the venue also spoke up and agreed.

It’s okay not to agree!

Now that the news of Lu Qian being crowned the King of Youzhou has spread, it has shocked the entire Qingyang County. No matter how bold they are, they really don’t dare to act arrogantly when facing a group of princes.

Besides, the Lu Gan in front of him is not a good person, and he is very easy to use the means to frame and confuse right and wrong.

The best trick is to use the black pot cover to say that you are a remnant of the Great Netherworld.

They will still live in Qingyang County from now on, and they don’t dare to be offended or resist in the slightest. Otherwise, they will have to go to Zhenfusi Prison to eat prison food later.

“Very good!”

Lu Qian’s eyes flashed sharply on the high platform: “Then let me tell you straight! I want to build 10,000 Xuanhuang schools in Qingyang County first! This is a great deed that will benefit the future and have immeasurable merits. ! I would like to invite you all to participate in it!”

When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that it was just such a small matter. I thought that by setting up such a big battle and inviting all the wealthy gentry in the county to do something big.

“I wonder what Mr. Lu thinks?”

At this time, Han Tian asked with a smile.

“It’s very simple. Building Xuanhuang Academy requires space, stone materials, teachers, and even more money! You are all wealthy gentry in the county, so it shouldn’t be a problem to donate a few dollars.” After

Lu Gan finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes and looked around. Sweep the whole place.

Donate money?

Upon hearing his words, 90% of the people in the audience immediately had smiles on their faces.

This is too dark!

Actually asking for money in public? Lu Gan’s face is as thick as a city wall!

Everyone was afraid of Lu Gan’s power and did not dare to whisper to each other. They could only whisper secretly in their hearts and their minds began to spin.

This money must be donated, but how much is another question.

If you donate too much, it will be a big loss. If you donate too little, Lu Qian may write it down. Let’s first look at how much the Cao family, the Han family, and the Liu family donated.

Then, countless eyes looked at Cao He, Han Tian and Liu Yong who were sitting in front.

Cao and the three of them seemed to be deep in thought.

“You guys were beating your chest so loudly just now, are you not going to run away now?”

At this time, Lu Gan’s cold voice came down from the high platform.

“How could it be?”

Han Tianming smiled charmingly, with water in her eyes, revealing a hint of charm: “I am overwhelmed by your grandeur, Mr. Lu. There are ten thousand Xuanhuang Academy, I am afraid that in the future everyone will He can read and read! I admire you so much for your great heart!”

“Thank you very much, Manager Han. I was born and raised here, and naturally I want the people of Qingyang County to live a better life. Everyone, don’t you think so? Is this true?”

Lu Gan looked around the audience.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

“Master Lu is really the official of Qingtian’s parents.”

“We admire him.”

Everyone praised him half-truthfully.

At this time, Han Tian seemed to have thought of something. Her beautiful eyes lit up and she said with a smile: “I have already thought about it. I am willing to donate two hundred thousand.”

Two hundred thousand?

Su Rou’s voice spread, and everyone looked stern.

“Silver?”

Cao He, who was sitting next to Han Tian, asked with a frown. Two hundred thousand taels of silver is only 20,000 taels of gold. This is not a bad amount.

“It’s gold.”

Han Tiantan opened her mouth slightly and uttered three words with a slight smile. At the same time, she winked at Lu Qian on the high platform intentionally or unintentionally.

What? gold!

Two hundred thousand taels of gold!

All the wealthy businessmen in the audience were shocked, and countless shocked eyes were cast on Han Tian. Has this woman lost her mind and gone crazy? She actually donated 200,000 gold?

Beside Cao He and Liu Yong, their expressions were also a bit ugly.

This amount was a bit large and far exceeded their psychological upper limit. They thought they could donate up to 100,000 taels of gold, but unexpectedly it doubled.

“Manager Han understands righteousness and has great kindness. She is truly the reincarnation of the female Bodhisattva! On behalf of the people of Qingyang County, I would like to express my gratitude to Manager Han!”

Lu Gan shouted in appreciation and suppressed the whispers in the audience: “Manager Han, please rest assured, in the future You are number one on the merit list of Xuanhuang Academy in Qingyang County! Shen Shucheng, write down the donation from Manager Han!”

“Yes.”

Shen Zishuang responded quickly and wrote down Han Tian’s name, and then wrote down the donation. Two hundred thousand taels of gold’.

“Master Lu, you’re too polite. I just want to do my best for Qingyang County.”

At this time, Han Tian replied with a very modest smile.

“Come! Everyone, let us applaud to show our respect to Manager Han and the female Bodhisattva. Thank you!” Lu Gan suddenly shouted loudly and clapped his hands.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, but they could only force a smile and clap their hands along with it.

The applause was like thunder, and it lasted for a while before it stopped.

“Cao will also donate 200,000 taels of gold to help Mr. Lu build Xuanhuang Academy.” Suddenly, Cao He’s expression straightened and he bowed his hands.

“Oh? Manager Cao is so grand! Come on, write it down and clap!”

Lu Gan turned around and ordered Shen Zishuang again, then smiled and clapped.

Bang bang bang, bang bang bang.

Amid the applause of the crowd, Cao He stood up, bowed his hands in all directions, bowed to Lu Gan, and sat down peacefully.

This time it was a massive hemorrhage.

But it should be worth it in exchange for some temporary peace.

“Then my Liu family will donate 600,000 taels of gold.”

Suddenly, Liu Yong’s words spread, like a huge stone falling into the lake, shaking the waves.

Everyone was in an uproar and looked sideways.

Six hundred thousand taels of gold?

Is this Liu family really crazy?

But when I turned around and thought about it carefully, I was afraid that the Liu family was selling banned drugs during the martial arts examination. The 600,000 taels of gold were used as an opportunity to pay protection fees to Lu Gan!

The people present were all smart people, and they figured out the joints in just a few moments.

“Okay! Manager Liu’s generous donation, I admire him! Everyone, let us applaud him!”

Lu Gan praised him and clapped his hands again.

Everyone could only be led to applaud.

Then it was the Fang family’s turn. No surprise, the Fang family also collected two hundred thousand taels of gold.

When the people from the four major aristocratic families have donated, it will be the turn of other century-old families and wealthy businessmen.

Some people donated ten thousand taels of gold, while others donated thousands of taels of silver.

Shen Zishuang recorded everything in the book.

In the end, some people just sat there and kept silent, obviously not wanting to donate money and just trying to muddle through.

Lu Qian didn’t find it strange either.

In the world, there are always some people who are stingy and stingy.

So, he turned around and asked Fang Tianlao: “Mr. Fang, how many people gave you gifts last time you celebrated your 100th birthday? What gifts were given to you?”

Fang Tianlao immediately understood, pondered for a while, shook his head and said: ” I really don’t remember how many people there were. However, I remember clearly who didn’t give gifts.”

As soon as these words came out, those powerful and wealthy businessmen who didn’t donate immediately felt their hearts skip a beat and felt chills all over their bodies.

Without any hesitation, they stood up one by one and donated thousands of taels of silver with great distress.

Some people also donated some more money.

At noon, when the bright sun was in the sky, thousands of people finally donated. The most donated was 600,000 taels of gold to Liu Yong of the Liu family, and the least was 3,000 taels of silver.

To Lu Gan’s surprise, Zhang Jinlai actually donated one thousand taels of gold.

“I am deeply impressed by your kindness! Here, I would like to thank you all very much to the people of Qingyang County!”

Lu Gan looked solemn and serious, stood up and bowed deeply.

Whether it was sincere or forced, they donated money, which is worthy of admiration.

“Then, please come to Cao Baotou to pay the money.”

Lu Gan pointed at Cao Dun in the audience.

At this time, Cao Dun had two boxes beside him, both of which were used to store gold and silver coins.

Soon, after everyone paid the money, Lu Gan also raised donations for the construction of Xuanhuang Academy, totaling 2,233,200 taels of gold.

Thanks to ‘Head of Neihan Duanzi Zhaotian Gang Branch’ for the reward
