Chapter 69

When the officials present heard Qin Mang say that he would sell everything he had and tighten his belt to donate 40,000 taels of silver, their faces all turned gloomy.

Qin Mang, as a prince, was able to achieve this. If they, as ministers, were far inferior to him, it would be unacceptable!

Isn't this forcing them to bleed profusely?

Therefore, the eyes looking at Qin Mang were all filled with anger!

"Forty thousand taels is still too little."

Qin Yu shook his head.

"You! Forty thousand taels is the maximum I can offer, and you actually think it's not enough!"

Qin Mang gnashed his teeth in anger and looked at Emperor Liang, saying, "Father! Sixth brother relies on his large donations to look down on me like this. I feel wronged!"

"Second brother! I'm not looking down on you, I just think you can donate more!"

Qin Yu said.

"That's easy for you to say. I don't have any money!"

Qin Mang said angrily.

"Don't I still owe you eighty thousand taels of silver for the goods? If you're willing to donate it, I'll give it all to my father."

Qin Yu said as a matter of course.

Four hundred coins per catty, two hundred thousand catties of cotton, is exactly eighty thousand taels of silver.

Anyway, Qin Yu had no intention of giving it to Qin Mang, so he took this opportunity to increase the amount of donated silver and cheat more money from the ministers. Emperor Liang benefited from it, and Qin Mang gained enough goodwill. Qin Mang took the blame and was hated by the ministers!

This is simply amazing.

Forehead......

At this moment, Qin Mang felt like he was a fool!

If he had known that Qin Yu was so generous, he would never have proposed making a donation, and he would not have come to court today!

"Second brother, are you willing to donate? If not, there's no need to sell everything you have. I'll donate 40,000 taels for you, and I'll have someone send the remaining 40,000 taels to you later."

Qin Yu said, continuing to provoke Qin Mang.

Qin Mang gnashed his teeth in hatred, but he could only bite the bullet and said, "Father! Your son will donate! Your son will donate 120,000 taels of silver!"

At this moment, Qin Mang's heart was bleeding!

This is 120,000 taels of silver!

After donating it, I can only eat coarse food for a period of time!

"Father! I have witnessed my second brother's loyalty to the court today. However, I suggest that the ministers should not match my second brother and me in terms of donation amounts. The burden on them is simply too great!"

Qin Yu then spoke to win the favor of the ministers again.

The ministers looked at Qin Yu with a little more kindness, but when they looked at Qin Mang, they were filled with hatred.

Although Qin Yu suggested that the amount of donations do not have to match theirs, it cannot stop the two of them from donating a large amount. Even if they donate a little less, they still cannot afford several thousand taels of silver.

Moreover, when Qin Yu was acting as Shangguan Wan'er's bootlicker, he was very generous. He made more than 10 million taels of silver yesterday. Therefore, they did not find it strange at all when he took out 10 million taels of silver at one time. They just thought Qin Yu was stupid!

Qin Mang is not stupid. He proposed a donation, and donated so much. This is bad!

In order to show off, they are trapped to death!

They hate Qin Mang to death now!

"Prime Minister Shangguan, as the head of all officials, how much should you donate? Set an example for the other officials."

Qin Yu looked at Shangguan Xiong and said in a deep voice.

Emperor Liang also spoke at this time: "Yu'er is right. As the head of all officials, the Prime Minister must set an example for the officials!"
