Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

Chapter 256 It's actually a fundraising event?

Did he not expect that these supplies were actually donated?

As expected, there are many wealthy families around Xianyang Palace; they can easily raise so much silver.

Lord Zhou couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Due to the snow disaster, the imperial court's support could not arrive immediately.

Lord Zhou also solicited donations from local parents.

I asked for some grain and medicinal herbs.

Now that the roads are blocked, even if he manages to extract money from them, he won't be able to bring in any supplies.

Instead, we have to buy food and other things from them.

This means they'll squeeze them dry again.

Therefore, Lord Zhou directly asked them for supplies, instead of asking for silver.

But what they got was pitifully little.

It pales in comparison to Fusu's grand gesture.

Therefore, Lord Zhou felt envious.

This is the advantage of being as close to Xianyang Palace as possible! Everything is convenient because there are many wealthy people there.

As long as there is one person with strong appeal who can raise funds, a lot of money can be raised.

Lord Zhou said with a grateful expression, "I never expected that our disaster would alarm so many people, and that so many kind-hearted people would lend us a helping hand. We are extremely grateful and will definitely keep the kindness of those kind people in our hearts."

"Your Highness, what we lack most here is supplies. We need food, medicine, and warm clothes, and the more the better. The snow is too heavy, and the lives of ordinary people are hard. They don't have enough warm clothes at home."

"That's why they died unconscious in their sleep. If they had had enough warm supplies, not so many people would have died. They are lucky to have met His Highness the Crown Prince, and you even brought so many things with you."

Lord Zhou said with a polite and ingratiating expression.

They flattered Fusu and also had a good impression of the families who donated supplies.

If we could donate more so that the disaster-stricken people could benefit more, that would be even better.

After all, the families living around Xianyang Palace were all wealthy and powerful.

They peek through their fingers at any benefit they can get, which is enough for these ordinary families to live a life free from worries about food and drink.

Now Lord Zhou can finally relax. Before, he was worried about what would happen to those people's houses after the snow disaster ended.

How can we help them get through this year?

It really is next year.

Lord Zhou had no idea how long the snow would continue.

Because the snow is too heavy, if it continues to fall...

Their farming was also affected.

But now that we have this batch of supplies, Lord Zhou can confidently guarantee that everyone will be able to get through this year safely, and no one will starve to death.

So how could he not be grateful to those people?

If someone else were to come to the disaster relief effort, they might only bring the meager supplies provided by the imperial court.

But now, if Fusu were to do this, it would bring even more benefits.

Lord Zhou would naturally try to please Fusu.

Moreover, Fusu is the Crown Prince, while he is just a minor county magistrate. How could he not try to please him?

Another point is that he will be working under Fusu for some time to come. If he can build a good relationship with Fusu and win him over, things will be easier for him in the future.

When Fusu heard Lord Zhou mention warm clothing supplies, he remembered the clothes and quilts that Ruyi and her men had rushed to make.

So Fusu thought for a moment and said, “We have prepared warm supplies. When we were in the capital, I thought that the transportation here was inconvenient. Now that we have money, why don’t we buy some warm supplies in the capital or in the surrounding areas where the roads are still open?”
