"Thank you, Lord Zhang. I thank you on behalf of the soldiers on the frontier!"

"Master Zhang, 1000 taels!"

"Master He, you are too polite. It's just a small favor. Our Anzhou's stability depends on you, Master He!"

"Thank you, Boss Lin. You are such a kind person. I wish you a prosperous business and great wealth!"

"Boss Lin, 1000 taels!"

"Master He, you're welcome. We can open a shop in Anzhou because of the good security in Anzhou. Thanks to Master He, those bandits are scared to death..."

……

"Master Du, 500 taels!"

"Manager Niu, 200 taels!"

Compliments, politeness, rejections, and voices of mutual praise rang out one after another.

Ji Xiaobei stood behind the crowd and listened. These people were so rich.

The people who had registered inside came out one after another.

The people on the periphery walked in, and Ji Xiaobei was also swept into the inner circle.

She finally saw Lord He.

He stood behind the desk, saluted and smiled at those who donated, and even shook hands with some of them.

He has a small face, is not very old, is not tall, and is strong. He has a bright smile and a row of big white teeth that sparkle in the sun.

When she saw Ji Xiaobei, she was stunned for a moment, but her bright smile immediately reappeared on her face.

"This brave man, sir, young master,..." He Ye tried hard to choose his words, thinking about how to address Ji Xiaobei.

It's hard to tell whether this person is a man or a woman based on his figure and clothes.

But, that face looks like a woman, with black curved eyebrows, big watery eyes, and skin that is neither white nor black...

He Ye made up his mind that it was okay to call a man "Young Master", and she wouldn't be angry if a woman called her "Young Master", but calling her "strong man" was a bit inappropriate.

Judging from this man's appearance and demeanor, he seems to be a wealthy man.

Ever since he promised Fu Jichang to raise funds for charity, the words "face" and "reputation" had long been erased from his dictionary.

In the past, he hated it most when people said that he was the son of the Minister of War.

And today, he is very glad that he is the son of the Minister of War.

With this shabby face, he can get so much money.

He was very excited when he thought that his brothers on the border would no longer suffer from hunger and cold.

"Sir, how much are you donating?" A man who looked like a servant beside He Ye asked.

Ji Xiaobei: "I, I...didn't..."

He Ye took a step forward.

He smiled and said, "Young Master, one thousand taels is not too much, and ten taels is not too little. It's mainly to show my appreciation."

After all, we can live a peaceful life because of the blood of the soldiers on the frontiers. We ordinary people have money to contribute and live a good life. Don’t you think so?..."

Ji Xiaobei nodded: You really know how to say it, if I don’t take some money today, I will be sorry to the soldiers on the frontier?

Can!

Ji Xiaobei really had no money on him, and he couldn't go into the space to get it in front of everyone.

She felt around her body and pulled out a handful of copper coins, which were the change from buying fodder.

All the change for today has been spent.

She said apologetically: "This is really unfortunate..."

Her hand paused, and suddenly she touched something, which was a jade pendant for her small waist.

"I'm so sorry. I left in a hurry and didn't bring much money with me. I only had the jade pendant my mother left for me. You wouldn't accept my personal belongings. How about this, I'll bring more money next time I come..."

He Ye stared at the jade pendant for a few seconds:

This looks familiar. Lao Fu also has a jade pendant that looks similar. He also said it was left to him by his mother.

Could it be that they have the same mother...?

He Ye looked at Ji Xiaobei's face again.

The two people don't look alike, so they should not be half-siblings.

"Sir, please register first. I can go to your house to get the banknotes!"

The servant pursued him relentlessly.

Ji Xiaobei was not a stingy person. He waved his hand and said, "Wait a moment. I'll be there soon!"

She strode up to Ma Debiao, pulled him up, and left.

The bosses and managers around He Ye all smiled:

This person is here purely to cause trouble, even though he looks very impressive.

But we are really poor!

He Ye hurriedly smiled and changed the subject: "We have finished registering here, let's go to Taoranju for tea. I have arranged lunch, everyone must come and show up. Come on, come on, who's next..."

Ji Xiaobei took Ma Debiao to a remote place and went into the space.

Taking out a silver note worth one thousand taels, I can't help but feel really painful about giving it away.

If I don’t donate, I will feel bad.

It is said that we should help others within our ability.

She tilted her head and thought for a while, then took out one thousand taels of silver notes, which should be within her means.

Next time, let Zheng Guo get a big koi and sell it to Ruo’s Silver Shop, making him 10,000 taels of profit.

She drove Ma Debiao back again.

Those nosy shopkeepers and merchants did not leave, just waiting to see whether the young man would come back.

He Ye saw Ji Xiaobei sitting on a donkey cart with a full cart of fodder behind him.

My heart skipped a beat. You left and that's it. Why are you back now?

If you have no money, stay away from it. If you work hard to earn money, stay away from it too.

You're just a fodder seller, why are you joining in the fun?

Ji Xiaobei: But you can’t stop people from being patriotic, right?

Ji Xiaobei got off the donkey cart and walked towards this side.

"Sir, why are you back again? Why don't you go to Taoranju and take a rest first..."

He Ye said.

Ji Xiaobei shook the banknote in his hand towards He Ye.

"I'll give you one thousand taels!"

Everyone stared at Ji Xiaobei with eyes wide open.

A fodder seller's clothes and accessories, plus the fodder for his donkey cart, would cost no more than 10 taels of silver.

She actually took out a silver note worth 1000 taels.

A shop owner stretched his neck to look at the banknotes on the table.

Squint your eyes to distinguish the true from the false.

Yes, you are real, and there is a big seal with the ticket number.

Others also came over, and all eyes were on the banknotes on the table.

"Sir, which merchant are you from?" He Ye asked with a smile on his face.

Because he was familiar with all the officials in Anzhou, big and small.

The person in front of me looks unfamiliar.

"I'm from Zhengguo Handicraft Shop. The shop is still under preparation and has not yet opened. I came to Anzhou from another place to do business. I hope you will take care of me in the future!"

Ji Xiaobei bowed and saluted to the surprised crowd.

He Ye took the lead in returning the gift, and he and Ji Xiaobei flattered each other.

"I'm Zhengguo Handicraft Shop. We mainly make custom high-end clothing, as well as small handicrafts and other gadgets. Once the storefront on the street is open, I hope you will come and visit us."

Ji Xiaobei said with a smile.

"Okay! Young Master Tao Ranju, please come in!"

He Ye made a gesture of invitation.

"I have something else to do today. I haven't fed the donkey at home yet. I'm leaving now!"

Everyone was stunned again.

The man immediately took out one thousand and two taels of silver.

He even had to buy fodder, drive the donkey cart, and feed the donkey himself.

They all planned to go back home and teach their playboys in the family a lesson, as they lacked this kind of poverty-stricken education.

Looking at Ji Xiaobei's back, they admired Ji Xiaobei, and even more so his father for raising such a son.
