The prince is very cruel

As he spoke, the light in his eyes disappeared. He knew very well how difficult this road was.

"No, no!" Guan Ning shook his head, stood up and said with his hands behind his back.

"Uncle Chang, there's a saying that quantitative change leads to qualitative change. We can't change others, but we can change ourselves."

"A skyscraper rises from the ground, a hundred thousand grains of sand take ten thousand years to form, and even a pregnancy takes ten months. Bringing benefits to the people is a long and arduous task. Who knows if it won't be accomplished?"

"Besides, even at worst, it can at least help some people, right?"

After hearing this, Lou Xinyue's eyes sparkled, and she couldn't help but secretly sigh that although Guan Ning was annoying, his conversation, intelligence, and vision were definitely outstanding.

Chang Shoufang's eyes flickered, and after realizing it, a look of shame appeared on his face. He stood up, brushed his sleeves and bowed deeply, saying loudly: "Your Highness is right. I was too superficial and too ambitious just now."

"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading!" His old face was full of sincerity. He was brave enough to take responsibility for his mistakes and did not take advantage of his seniority.

Then he said seriously, "I have decided to engage in... public welfare. Even a tiny firefly can bring light. Even if I can only do a little, it is better than dying doing nothing. I hope the prince can give me some guidance!"

Lou Xinyue's beautiful eyes were filled with shock. How could an old man who was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and was recognized as a capable official in governing the country give guidance to a young man?

If this gets out, I wonder what a sensation it will cause!

Guan Ning raised the corner of his mouth: "Then Uncle Chang, I will tell you."

"I'd like to hear the details!" Chang Shoufang looked like he was willing to listen attentively.

"I'm a humble boy, but I have some businesses under my name. I'd like to invite you to take charge, manage my finances, control my income and expenditure, and make plans."

Hearing this, Lou Xinyue's cold eyes narrowed. It turned out that this guy spoke so nicely and this was his plan!

Guan Ning immediately added, "I can promise you that the Guan family will donate 70% of its profits to charity, including food, pens, and ink."

"In addition, after the business develops, the Guan family will continue to provide jobs to ordinary people so that they can support themselves. We will also treat them well and provide the highest wages in the entire capital." His eyes were firm, and he was definitely not just talking.

Chang Shoufang, Lou Xinyue were shocked, 70%?

You must know that in this feudal era, workers who worked for landlords could only have two meals a day. Those who gave them three meals were considered kind people. However, Guan Ning was willing to donate 70% of his profits directly!

This is too exaggerated and too unique.

"Also, you have to know that this is not a business, nor a transaction, but a public welfare!"

"The two of us share similar ideals and aspirations, which is why we came together. In a few years, tens of thousands of people will have enough food and clothing thanks to our public welfare."

"I wonder if Uncle Chang is interested in doing this..." Guan Ning relied on his eloquence to bring the public welfare of later generations to the ancient times and painted an extremely beautiful blueprint.

This made Chang Shoufang extremely excited. Wasn't his original intention of becoming an official to benefit the people?

"Uncle Chang, think twice, this..." Lou Xinyue frowned slightly. Although she didn't doubt Guan Ning, letting the former Minister of Revenue to manage the accounts and business was really...

Chang Shoufang hesitated briefly, but eventually wanted to do something and gritted his teeth.

"Since I can't go back to the officialdom, and even if I go back, I can't change anything, I might as well do as the prince said and make a living by serving the people through public welfare!"

"Prince, I, Chang Shoufang, agree to this matter!" He agreed directly and loudly. His old eyes were very clear. He was definitely a man who worked for the public and the people. Even in his hunched age, he still wanted to shine.

boom!

Sheng Qi and others who were not far away widened their eyes in shock. They were rough people, but Chang Shoufang was a scholar, and he was once the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a typical high-ranking official!

At this moment, she is actually willing to follow the prince!

Lou Xinyue was speechless and stared at Chang Shoufang blankly. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Chang Shoufang's unyielding eyes and temper, she knew that it was useless to say anything.
