Reborn Houmenhufu

Chapter 189

According to Wei Yao's method, Wei Yan successfully got support from the rich merchants in Nanzhou. Of course, he still needs to do a lot, such as asking the rich merchants to send people to supervise. up.

The rich merchants have already agreed to donate money, so Wei Yan naturally wants to let them show their faces, so looking at the wealthy merchants on the second floor, Wei Yan said directly.

"Since everyone has agreed, I will go to the gate of the yamen tomorrow. I will hold a large-scale donation ceremony there. At that time, we will let all the people of Nanzhou know how much money you have donated. We know your contribution."

Unexpectedly, there would be such benefits. The wealthy businessmen were stunned for a while, and then they became ecstatic.

You must know that reputation is extremely important for a businessman. If you have a good reputation among the common people, then many times the common people will look for your products when they buy things. Then the business will be bad?

Donating money will not be used indiscriminately, and you can still show your face in front of the people. This is a great thing. Thinking about this, many people secretly think that they must donate more money at that time. shame in front of you.

At this time, Wei Yan didn't know what they were thinking, otherwise, he would definitely feel that Wei Yao was too understanding of people's hearts to suggest this to himself.

Soon Wei Yan took An Tianyi and left the restaurant. As for how the merchants will discuss it in the future, that's their business. He just needs to finish the donation ceremony.

Go back to the yamen.Wei Yan saw that Wei Yao was instructing the people in the yamen to build the donation stage. The location at the entrance of the yamen was bustling, and many people pointed at it. Wei Yao was very calm and still directed. Seeing Wei Yan come back Only then did he put down the work at hand and ran to Wei Yan's side.

Wei Yan glanced at her and whispered, "Let's go back and talk."

"Okay." Wei Yao agreed to come down and follow Wei Yan to the study. After entering the study, she couldn't help but said, "Fourth brother, how is the situation?"

"They all agreed, and they will wait until tomorrow."

"Then it's up to me tomorrow."

The time passed bit by bit, and soon came the morning of the second day. Early in the morning, Wei Yao asked people to put the chairs under the stage that had been built, and then put a lot of chairs on the stage .

Seeing this scene, many onlookers couldn't help but feel a little strange, so they gathered around and talked about it.

The time soon came to the time Wei Yan left for those businessmen. The businessmen in sedan chairs came to this place and were soon invited to the stage by the people from the yamen.

As time passed, everyone came together.

Seeing this scene, Wei Yan and Wei Yao looked at each other.Then Wei Yao came on stage.

Today's Wei Yao is wearing a fiery red dress and looks radiant and beautiful. Standing on this stage, she seems to be the protagonist.

In ancient times, there were no microphones, so Wei Yao shouted directly to the people in the audience without hesitation.

"Dear folks, you must be wondering what the purpose of building this place at the gate of the yamen today is, aren't you?"

"Correct!"

"It seems that everyone is very curious, so the little girl will tell you that today, friends who love their hometown will come here to donate their love. In order to prevent the people of Nanzhou from being hit by the flood, today they intend to contribute their strength."

Wei Yao spoke in front, Wei Yan and An Tianyi stood side by side, An Tianyi looked at Wei Yao and suddenly said to Wei Yan,

"Are you so worried about that girl?"

"Naturally, she is a smart person and won't screw this up."

Wei Yan naturally believed in Wei Yao, it didn't mean that Wei Yao had already finished speaking and asked Wei Yan to take the stage.

In this way, Wei Yan stepped onto the stage dressed in a very formal official mansion, and then shouted to the surrounding crowd: "Many of you folks must know me. I have been in Nanzhou for several months. Nanzhou I was deeply moved by the tenacity of the people, everyone did not give up in the face of natural disasters, but Nanzhou floods have been a problem for a long time, is there no way to solve it?" Wei Yan's words made the people of Nancheng unable to bear it. The living lowered their heads, their emotions were a little depressed.

Wei Yan ignored them and continued talking instead.

"No, we only need to strengthen the dam firmly, and then find a way to control the water. One day, Nanzhou will get rid of the nightmare of flooding when it rains."

"Okay, now I invite all members of our Nanzhou Chamber of Commerce to come on stage. They will contribute to the repair of the Nanzhou dam this time. Let us all warmly welcome them."

clap clap clap...

There was a burst of applause like this, Wei Yan looked at the lively scene below and felt that he could retire and leave this matter to Wei Yao.

Just do what you said, Wei Yan asked Wei Yao to continue. Wei Yao once had experience in hosting a gala, and quickly mobilized the atmosphere of the scene.

Wei Yan stood beside An Tianyi and said with a smile: "What, my fifth sister is pretty good, right?"

"It's really powerful, but is she planning to go back to the prime minister's mansion?"

Girls these days want to marry early, and Wei Yao is almost 15 years old, is it really okay to show her face outside like this?

Unexpectedly, An Tianyi would say that, Wei Yan narrowed his eyes and said.

"Don't you think it's good for her now, she doesn't need to go back to be betrayed, and she doesn't need to be taken into marriage, she can live freely, why should she go back?"

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not a good place, should Wei Yao be sent back to die?

Wei Yan's words caused An Tianyi to fall into silence. At this moment, he suddenly felt that what Wei Yan said was quite right, and Wei Yao's appearance was also very good. At most, he would help find a partner for Wei Yao, so he didn't have to worry about it. Wei Yao will become an old maid.

If Wei Yao knew An Tianyi's thoughts at this time, she would definitely slap An Tianyi in the face. What the hell is she so powerful, how can she not be married?

Soon the donation conference came to an end under the auspices of Wei Yao. Almost all wealthy businessmen donated money, and they couldn't just give a little in public, so Wei Yan was a little surprised by the harvest.

When they went back to the study to count the harvest, this time they actually received a donation of 10 taels of silver, which was beyond Wei Yan's expectations.

Seeing Wei Yan's dazed look, Wei Yao couldn't help but stretched out her hand and shook it in front of him. "Okay, fourth brother, isn't it just 10 taels of silver? You don't know how much silver it will take to repair the dams in Nanzhou, so you should save this money."

Wei Yan was stunned, and then he nodded, yes, the money allocated by the court has been repaired a little more than half, and there will be no more money. Now the 10 taels of silver should be saved, otherwise the situation will be more complicated.

As he thought about it, An Tianyi couldn't help but said.

"Why don't we have some too."

As Lord Marquis and General, An Tianyi was naturally not short of money. Wei Yan opened his mouth and wanted to agree, but then thought that this was a matter for the court.

Thinking of this, Wei Yan said to Wei Yao: "Fifth sister, how much did the person who donated the most donate?"

"Let me see, it's 1 taels, donated by the president of the Chamber of Commerce."

Wei Yan looked at An Tianyi and said quietly: "Why don't we just donate so much."

"Okay." After Wei Yan said so, he naturally agreed.

Soon, Wei Yan had an extra 1 taels. This money will be used to build the embankment. It seems that Wei Yan is busy again.

An Tianyi finally found time to find Wei Yan, so he couldn't bear to see him so busy, so he did everything he could to help. With An Tianyi's help, Wei Yan had his own time, so he sneaked in and the two of them left There are places to visit near Nancheng.

The place they go the most is by the water.After seeing the situation here, Wei Yan couldn't help but asked An Tianyi a question, "Tianyi, if it were you, how would you manage this river?"

Standing by the river, An Tianyi's gaze just fell on the river. He was stopped by Wei Yan's question. If it was him, how would he manage the river?

Having never had any experience in water control, he naturally couldn't answer Wei Yan's question immediately, so he said with a wry smile: "You asked me a big problem that entangled me?"

"You don't know either?"

"nature."

Wei Yan was silent, and he suddenly said something. "Do you think I should look up books on water control over the years?"

"do you want?"

An Tianyi didn't express any other opinions, but instead asked this question. Wei Yan was stunned when his words sounded.

Do you think?I naturally want to make Nanzhou better, so that the people of Nanzhou will not be threatened by floods, but what's the use of thinking, relying on him alone, too weak, can he do it?

At this time, even he doubted himself.

How could An Tianyi not understand Wei Yan's thoughts?He shook his head helplessly and said, "Since you don't know, then think about it."
