The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

In the study, Xiao Rui was having tea with Jia Xu, while Wei Guang was describing the expressions on the faces of the government officials when they came to collect donations and buy invitations, especially when Li Yuanfang took out a thick stack of invitations, and whoever gave the money would fill in the invitations. Names, their small expressions have a kind of sadness that is unrequited, including a touch of sadness, which makes Xiao Rui laugh.

Jia Xu exclaimed: "Your Highness is clever. The world doesn't know that Hao Yun is His Highness's confidant, and he impeached His Highness. There should be a gap with His Highness. In addition, Champion Hou and Zhongyonghou, all three of them raised a thousand taels before they were invited. Letters, enmity, and relatives are the same, and they are treated equally, which will completely block their mouths, so that they have to honestly take out the money if they are unwilling or unwilling. Unless they do not participate in the charity auction."

Xiao Rui sneered and said, "Not participating? Wei Guang, how many people have purchased the invitation letter now?"

Wei Guang said: "The stewards of 18 mansions have already purchased invitation letters, and the number of people expected by His Highness is still far behind. For example, several state mansions have not sent anyone."

"Don't worry, wait until tomorrow morning to see if they are in a hurry, then they won't be able to buy it for a thousand taels. Just because your grandson is the prince, why don't you accept my king's tricks? Hmph, let's see who admits defeat first." Xiao Xiao Rui wasn't worried at all.

He looked at Jia Xu again and asked, "Sir, how are the people from the top ten merchants in the capital?"

Jia Xu said: "Seven people have come, I told them to wait in the side hall, the other three are coming, they heard that they have something to do with tomorrow's charity fundraising, so naturally they dare not neglect."

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Wei Guang, go and have a look, and tell me when everyone is ready, these top ten chambers of commerce are also very rich, they have to make a good contribution this time, and don't kill them ruthlessly , I can’t get over it.”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wei Guang retreated immediately.

But at this moment, the system really came into motion.

"Ding Dong's new task is open, please check the host."

Xiao Rui's smile was even worse. With such a big event, the system will keep calm?

Such a long time of communication also allowed Xiao Rui to see the character of the system. He could basically tell when a mission would come, but Xiao Rui still couldn't guess what mission would come.

He checked it quickly, and saw that the tasks were as follows:

"New task: raise money for the poor, raise 500,000 taels, drop value +10, raise 700,000 taels, drop value +20, raise one million taels, drop value +30, raise 1.2 million More than two, the descending value +40. Although the host is suspected of seeking personal gain, but considering helping the poor people, there is no punishment for the failure of this mission."

Xiao Rui ignored the system's sarcasm, he was already attracted by the generous rewards of the mission.

More than 1,200,000 taels, the advent value will be +40, which is really rich, and you can withdraw 10%, that is 120,000 taels

What annual leave, what holiday!

In order to protect the world's poor and happy people, I have to raise more than 1.2 million donations even if I risk my life. This is the consciousness that a prince has. It's enough to be a little tired and a little bit dead.

"Sir, you are helping me think about it. Where can I raise more money?" Xiao Rui couldn't think of any more ideas for a while, so he asked Jia Xu for help.

Jia Xu smiled wryly and said, "I'm good at conspiracies and tricks, but I'm not good at doing business. Don't embarrass me, Your Highness. I have a specialization in art."

Xiao Rui didn't force it, but at this moment, Wei Guang who had left in a hurry came back.

"Your Highness, all the stewards of the top ten chambers of commerce have arrived." Wei Guang reported.

Xiao Rui got up and said, "Let's go, these people are all my good-for-nothing boys."

Arriving at the side hall, just as Xiao Rui entered, he saw ten chamber of commerce stewards stand up quickly, and said respectfully, "My villain pays homage to His Royal Highness King Xian!"

Xiao Rui glanced around, unexpectedly seeing an acquaintance, among them the leopard.

Xiao Rui sat on the upper seat, waved his hands, smiled all over his face, and said: "Sit down, don't be restrained, do you know why this king summoned you to the mansion?"

The ten people sat down. Although they had heard and guessed, they still pretended not to know and shook their heads.

Xiao Rui went straight to the point and said: "I believe you have all heard that the snow has been falling outside for a whole day, and it has not disappeared. I believe it will not stop tomorrow. The scale covers the entire Gyeonggi area. Although the Gyeonggi area is economically prosperous, but There are still poor people. They may be able to eat enough, but they live in simple houses. During this heavy snowfall, there are not a few people whose houses have been crushed, and the roads and villages are blocked by the heavy snow. There is no livelihood, how can they live a good year?"

"Your Majesty's grace is vast, so tomorrow night, a charity auction will be held. Your Majesty will take out his own treasures. The queens and concubines in the harem, as well as princes, will all take out good things and auction them off at high prices. All the proceeds will be used to relieve the people affected by the snow disaster!"

"And I came to you today to ask, are your ten chambers of commerce interested in participating? Your ten chambers of commerce are the largest chambers of commerce in the capital. This opportunity is rare, so take advantage of it."

After Xiao Rui finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the maids served new tea again.

The stewards of the ten chambers of commerce suddenly breathed three points faster. Although they were mentally prepared for this, they were still shocked. After all, His Majesty held such a grand event, which was always attended by dignitaries. When it was their turn, they would at most borrow it afterwards. Dongfeng, earning a small profit, never thought of being able to participate directly.

"Your Highness, I don't know what you mean by pointing to participate?" Qian Bao saw Xiao Rui's eyes glanced at him, and he immediately understood and asked.

Xiao Rui was quite satisfied with Jinbao's scrutiny, he said: "Tomorrow night's event, His Majesty and the Queen will go, and all the powerful and powerful people in the capital will go. If he can't go, it can only show that he is an insignificant person. No qualifications. And if on such an important occasion, your chamber of commerce can hang some promotional slogans or product introductions on the spot, how do you think the strength of this promotion will be? Which chamber of commerce do you belong to?"

Xiao Rui deliberately asked Jinbao.

Money Leopard said: "The villain belongs to the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce."

Xiao Rui continued: "Then I will use the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce as an example, such as hanging a promotional slogan at the event site: Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, wealth is prosperous, trust is prosperous, and financial resources are smooth! You say that such slogans are seen by His Majesty and the dignitaries. In my eyes, what kind of effect will it bring if it is heatedly discussed by the people after the event?"

The leopard's eyes lit up immediately, and he immediately asked, "Your Highness, how much does this promotion cost? Our Hengtong Chamber of Commerce will cover it all!"

The other managers couldn't care less about being reserved. They were all business experts, so they could naturally see the value of this publicity.

"Your Highness, our Wanshun Chamber of Commerce is also willing to contract all the promotional slogans!"

"Your Highness, our Hengtai Chamber of Commerce is also willing!"

The stewards of the ten families were arguing endlessly, Xiao Rui raised his hand to calm them down.

"This king calls this event bidding. Since you are all interested in this event, then I will just order it directly. A promotional slogan starts at 50,000 taels. Because the space is limited, a maximum of five slogans can be placed, and red paper and black mills are mixed with gold powder. It is guaranteed to attract attention! Let's start now, the highest bidder wins!" Xiao Rui said with a smile.

The ten stewards are delayed, starting at 50,000 taels, just a slogan, this is simply stealing money!

The Golden Leopard is indeed Xiao Rui's choice, he took the lead and said: "Your Highness, fifty thousand taels, I want two from the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce!"

"Very good! I believe His Majesty will remember the name of the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce in his heart when he sees the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce's full support for this charity auction!" Xiao Rui said casually.

As soon as these words came out, the ten stewards who were still hesitating bid one after another.

"Your Highness, fifty thousand taels, I want two!"

"Your Highness, fifty-one thousand taels, I want three!"

After a heated debate, the bidding for the five promotional slogans was completed. Before the charity auction started, Xiao Rui had already raised 280,000 taels of silver.

The stewards who won were beaming with joy, while those who were not won were downcast.

At this time, Xiao Rui said again: "Okay, the bidding is completed, and the next step is sponsorship."

"Sponsorship?" All the stewards were taken aback.

Xiao Rui said: "Of course! The tableware, snacks, tea, and drinks used in the event can all be sponsored, and as the host of the event, I will thank the chamber of commerce that provided the sponsor before the event starts. Of course, these are just casual mentions , if any chamber of commerce sponsors a large amount of money, then the king will take time out to express his gratitude, and these words of thanks are naturally for His Majesty to hear. I believe His Majesty will be very pleased that there is a chamber of commerce that can benefit the world. This is also the blessing of Daxia!"

In an instant, the stewards who had calmed down just now, their hearts rose again.

Let Wei Guang send away all the stewards. Jia Xu has already got a stack of IOUs in his hands. This is the IOU written by the chamber of commerce that has received the bidding and sponsorship. After the event, Xiao Rui will be able to withdraw the money with the ticket. Don't have the guts to renege on your debts.

Jia Xu seemed to be holding the tickets lightly, but with a total of 450,000 taels, he took a deep breath and felt a little dreamy.

Money is so easy to earn?

However, Xiao Rui felt that it was extremely normal. The advertising expenses before the news broadcast in the previous life were astronomical, tens of millions per second, and what he wanted was already considered a small amount.

"Your Highness, bidding and sponsorship are too clever. I don't need to contribute a penny. I have venues, refreshments, drinks, etc., but thanking these chambers of commerce openly in front of His Majesty, and even pulling out slogans on the spot, will it offend His Majesty? Displeased?" Wu Zhanfa worried.

Xiao Rui shook his head and said: "Your Majesty will not be displeased, at most he will reprimand me for nonsense, but with so much money in front of him, he is too embarrassed to criticize. But afterward, many people will be jealous, and then impeach me, the impeachment memorial Like snowflakes. But don’t be afraid, as long as you raise more money, you can help more people, so why not do it?”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Your Highness is right, what we do is not only seen by His Majesty, but also by the world."

Xiao Rui looked at the heavy snow outside. Although the snow scene was good, he still hoped that the snow would stop!
