Chen Qisheng has a wide connection, so he has a little understanding of many things, such as what happened in the court recently, and when someone secretly said that he was not allowed to sell food, he knew a little about it.

Therefore, after Xue Wanche said that he wanted to raise funds, he immediately had a guess in his mind, "Is Your Majesty planning to overcome the difficulties by increasing the price of grain purchase?"

In his opinion, this is the only feasible method at present. In addition to the fact that some people are holding back, there is also part of the reason why the grain merchants are unwilling to sell grain, because it is a year of disaster and there is no need to worry about selling grain.

Therefore, when grain can be sold at any time and the storage of grain does not affect their interests, grain merchants are unwilling to offend those families, so they all choose to store grain but not spend it.

But if His Majesty is willing to increase the purchase price of grain and purchase grain at a price of twice, three times, or even five times or ten times, then the situation will be different.

For those grain merchants, such high interests can even sell their own fathers, let alone grain.

As for the aristocratic families who are not allowed to sell, which aristocratic families? Can they eat? Can they pay money? If they cannot, it is best to stand aside.

What's more, with such a high price, who can guarantee that those aristocratic families will not be moved? After all, aristocratic families also have to make money, and they will also make money when they see money.

"Although this method is like drinking poison to quench thirst, it is also good to temporarily alleviate the situation in the court."

Thinking of the current situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chen Qisheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although he was not sure whether his guess was correct, he could not verify it from Xue Wanche.

After all, many things are not something that he, a businessman, should know.

Even if Xue Wanche knew that he knew, he had to pretend that he didn't know, and it was even more impossible to ask him out of the question.

Xue Wanche saw Chen Qisheng not speaking for a long time, thinking that he was unwilling to pay, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that this seemingly generous boss Shen would not be able to save tomorrow.

"What, is there any difficulties for Boss Shen?"

Chen Qisheng was awakened from the contemplation by Xue Wanche's voice. Looking at Xue Wanche's disappointed eyes, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "There is indeed a difficulty."

After hearing Chen Qisheng say this, Xue Wanche shook his head and said with disappointment in his words: "Since that's the case, then forget it. Your Majesty did not intend to make things difficult for everyone."

"Mr. Xue misunderstood. That's not what Chen meant."

Seeing Xue Wanche getting up, Chen Qisheng hurriedly tried to stay, "Chen was born in the Great Zhou Dynasty and grew up in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In such a dangerous time, paying some money is nothing."

"It's just that Chen also has difficulties with Chen. If Lord Xue can agree to Chen for His Majesty that Chen will not announce the donation of Chen to the public and relieve Chen's concerns, then Chen is willing to donate two million taels of silver."

"Two million taels!!!"

Xue Wanche was so shocked that he stood up. Two million taels were not a small amount. Although Mo Zizhai was not chasing his house, he could not move million taels or even tens of millions of taels, but the people who copied were all second-rank officials, and they had saved up all their lives.

If it were normal, two million taels would be enough to be worth a year's tax in a county town. Even if Qisheng Money House's business was big enough and wanted to spend so much money in a hurry, it would probably be a big deal.

"Boss Shen Gao Yi, I admire him."

"If the country does not exist, how can you trust me?"

Chen Qisheng did not take Xue Wanche's admiration to heart. "Although Chen is a businessman, he also knows loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. How can he stand by and watch at this time of crisis?"

"I hope the adults can agree to Chen's conditions, otherwise it would be difficult for Chen to do it."

"I understand."

Xue Wanche, who sat down again, nodded slowly. He also understood Chen Qisheng's concerns. Qisheng Money House was spread all over the Great Zhou Dynasty and had to rely on the aristocratic families in many places. If so much money was spread, it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no aristocratic families holding grudges and causing trouble for Qisheng Money House.

It’s just that it’s a bit difficult to tell him about his donation.

Because Mo Zizai was ready to kill someone after sharpening his knife, all those who did not donate would die tomorrow, and 80% of those who survived would pay the money. This matter could not be concealed at all.

So Xue Wanche hesitated for a long time before he hesitating: "Boss Shen, it is difficult to hide the fact of donations. I can guarantee that I will give your donations directly to Your Majesty. As long as you do not have your permission, no one in the court can reveal the amount of your donation. What do you think?"

"Don't disclose the amount..."

Chen Qisheng pondered for a moment. If this was the case, it would not be unacceptable. Based on his understanding, there would definitely be some merchants in the capital who were willing to pay. As long as the amount was not disclosed, he would not be so conspicuous.

"Since that's the case, I'll trouble Lord Xue."

"What's the matter with Boss Shen? If you pay for the court, how could the court put you in a dangerous place?"

Xue Wanche stood up and bowed to Chen Qisheng, "Don't worry, Boss Shen, you took out so much money this time, the court will definitely not make you regret it."

"The court? Won't I regret it?"

When Chen Qisheng narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard Xue Wanche say it was the court, not the emperor, and intuition told him that there seemed to be something wrong here. Could it be that one who is going to cause trouble?

A bold guess suddenly arose in Chen Qisheng's heart, but he soon threw this guess aside. It should not be that Shang and Agriculture are the foundation of the country, and Your Majesty will definitely not let him do anything.

Although he had denied his own guess, Chen Qisheng still felt a deep sense of uneasiness in his heart, "I hope he won't do anything randomly, otherwise the Great Zhou might not be able to maintain the current situation."

Chen Qisheng, who sighed silently in his heart, no longer thought about it. After standing up and giving instructions to the outside, a middle-aged man soon came over with a brocade box.

Chen Qisheng took the brocade box, took out a stack of special silver notes from it, and then walked towards Xue Wanche.

"Mr. Xue, these are 10,000 yuan per silver bill, a total of 200 pieces. As long as you hold these bills, you can come to my Qisheng Money House to withdraw 2 million taels of silver at any time."

Speaking of these silver notes, Chen Qisheng said with a slight sigh: "I was young and frivolous, and I felt that I could open the Qisheng Money House all over the world and allow the silver notes to be circulated in all directions, so I spent a lot of money to ask the craftsman to customize this batch of silver notes with a denomination of 10,000 taels."

"As a result, Chen still overestimated himself. Although Qisheng Money House has many semi-colonies now, it is still far from being open all over the world. As for these ten thousand taels of silver notes, none of them are circulated."

"Now Chen no longer wants his dream when he was young, but being able to circulate it once in the hands of the court can be regarded as a fulfillment of Chen's wish for so many years."

After Xue Wanche received the silver notes, he comforted Chen Qisheng, "Why should Boss Shen be so discouraged? Now Qisheng Money House has semicolons in many places in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is not difficult to open the world."

Chen Qisheng shook his head and said nothing more, "I hope this is the case."
