I actually timetraveled and became the richest woman

Chapter 108

"I don't know, can I be an official? I am only a fourth-rank official now. The emperor has always wanted to promote him, but he hasn't issued an imperial edict for a long time. I don't know if the emperor has forgotten it."

Master Lu sighed, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Of course you can, donate a little more silver taels, and you will be able to start from the third rank immediately."

Chu Jianguo patted Lord Lu on the right shoulder and said encouragingly.

"If I am like this, don't I have to donate a lot?"

Master Lu asked Chu Jianguo.

"Just donate 2 taels."

Chu Jianguo said casually, which made Mr. Lu startled.

"To be honest, although the lower official's family has some silver taels, 2 taels is really too much. Even if the lower official goes bankrupt, he can't afford so much."

Mr. Lu was very uncomfortable.

I finally saw hope, but now my face is full of disappointment.

"If it's not too bad, you can go to your colleagues to borrow it."

Chu Jianguo reminded Mr. Lu.

In fact, this is Chu Jianguo's purpose.

Spread this matter through Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu's promotion is a certainty, and Chu Jianguo already knew about it.

Now, just as Master Lu wished, he kills two birds with one stone.

"That's a good idea."

Master Lu nodded, affirming.

"Just, don't tell others. It's good for the two of us to know about this kind of good thing. If you tell, then everyone will be like you. Donate with the money, and everyone will be promoted."

Chu Jianguo pretended to remind, but in fact he wished Master Lu would spread the word.

He knew Lord Lu's character.

On weekdays, he is chatty and warm-hearted.

If his prediction is correct, he will say it to every colleague, and will tell that person, don't say it.

"Thank you, General Chu, for reminding me."

Mr. Lu was very grateful, and pulled Mr. Chu to have lunch.

It happened that Chu Jianguo had an empty stomach, so he agreed and sat down.

"Master Chu, thank you very much, come, you have food."

Master Lu was also very polite, and his gratitude was beyond words.

After drinking and eating.

Chu Jianguo bid farewell to Mr. Lu.

He looked back at the word "Lu Mansion" on the gate, and laughed contemptuously.

For the rest, he can watch their performance.

A few days later, as expected.

Mr. Lu succeeded in becoming a member of the third rank, which can be regarded as his wish.

After the imperial decree, Mr. Lu came to visit General Chu's mansion.

In the hall, Chu Jianguo and Mr. Lu were drinking tea.

"Master Chu, thanks to you telling me this secret this time, the lower official was able to become the third rank. A thousand words are not enough to express my gratitude. If you don't dislike it, the lower official is willing to be your right-hand man in the future."

Master Lu speaks sincerely and looks very sincere.

Chu Jianguo just smiled, and replied politely: "Master Lu is serious."

"In the past, I always heard some bad rumors about adults. In fact, they didn't have the opportunity to get in touch with you. If they did, they would definitely be impressed by your noble character."

Mr. Lu flattered one after another, making Chu Jianguo laugh from ear to ear.

"By the way, you didn't tell anyone else, did you?"

Chu Jianguo asked.

"Didn't say anything?"

Mr. Lu was immersed in the joy at the side, and didn't react for a while.

"It's what I told you about donating money to get promoted."

Chu Jianguo suddenly whispered.

Master Lu was taken aback for a moment, and then replied with a guilty face: "No, no."

Seeing Master Lu's appearance, Chu Jianguo knew it in his heart.

It seems that this guy definitely talked about it with others.

Sure enough, my goal was achieved.

"It's fine if you don't say it, it's fine if you don't say it."

Chu Jianguo pretended to be relieved, which made Mr. Lu a little nervous.

"Come on, have a snack. Congratulations on your promotion."

"Thank you, Master Chu."

With that said, Master Lu took a bite of his snack.

Then he said: "This is a thousand-year-old ginseng sent by people from my hometown. It is said that it was found in the deep mountains, and it is absolutely genuine. In order to thank Mr. Chu, I specially dedicate this thing to you."

"Then thank you, Mr. Lu."

Chu Jianguo was also polite and asked his servants to accept it.

Seeing that Chu Jianguo accepted it, Mr. Lu felt that he had finally repaid his favor.

I don't even owe him anything.

"That's all right, Mr. Chu, there are still some matters in the lower government that have not been dealt with, so I won't bother you."

"Go get busy."

Chu Jianguo got up to reply.

Afterwards, Mr. Lu cupped his hands and left.

"Master Lu is really efficient."

Liu Ruxuan came out from inside and said with a smile.

"Next, there will be a good show to watch."

Chu Jianguo looked expectantly, looking at the back of Mr. Lu who had just left at the gate.

"Xiao Xiao, officials have been actively donating money recently. Is it because Mr. Lu donated money and was promoted?"

Mu Chuqian sorted out the roster of donations, carefully looking at the names and the corresponding amounts.

"probably."

Zeng Xiaoxiao was busy with her own affairs, so she replied without raising her head.

"However, why do everyone donate tens of thousands of tens of thousands? This is too much. Are all the current officials so rich?"

Mu Chuqian became puzzled.

He originally thought that the donations of wealthy officials were only a few hundred to thousands of taels, while those without money donated less than 100 taels.

But on the roster of donations, there were tens of thousands of taels.

Now, maybe it's because it's only been a few days since it started.

Only seven or eight officials donated.

But their minimum donation is 1 taels, which is more than those donated by wealthy businessmen.

"Ten tens of thousands? It doesn't make sense. Isn't their annual salary only a few thousand taels?"

Chu Jianguo looked expectantly, looking at the back of Mr. Lu who had just left at the gate.

"Xiao Xiao, officials have been actively donating money recently. Is it because Mr. Lu donated money and was promoted?"

Mu Chuqian sorted out the roster of donations, carefully looking at the names and the corresponding amounts.

Zeng Xiaoxiao was busy with her own affairs, so she replied without raising her head.

Now, maybe it's because it's only been a few days since it started.

Only seven or eight officials donated.

But their minimum donation is 1 taels, which is more than those wealthy businessmen donated.

No, there must be something wrong with it.

However, Mu Chuqian didn't know where the problem was.

Could it be that Mr. Lu donated 2 taels before and was promoted.

So everyone thinks that if you donate more, you can get promoted?
So it's easy to achieve your goal?
It's too easy.

I haven't done anything yet.

How to achieve the goal, and the effect is also unusually good.

Mu Chuqian always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

"Maybe it's what they have accumulated over the years."

Zeng Xiaoxiao didn't have time to think so much.

Recently, in the area of ​​Chuzhou, something went wrong at the Huangcheng Roast Duck Restaurant.

Since my mother taught me the business of her mother's family, I can't finish it every day.

Fortunately, Lin Ziye is up to the challenge, and the Huangcheng Roast Duck Restaurant in the neighboring country is operating well.

"In a few days, I'm going to Chuzhou. You take care of these things at home. I'll be back within a week."

Zeng Xiaoxiao still didn't raise his head.

"Or I can go with you after I get the fundraising done. I don't worry if you go alone."

Mu Chuqian looked at Zeng Xiaoxiao worriedly.

"No, we can't wait that long."

Zeng Xiaoxiao refused.

"Alright then, bring Qiu'er Ping'er with you and let them take care of your food and daily life. I'll send a few more people to follow you to protect your safety."

"You can't say no."

Before Zeng Xiaoxiao could answer, Mu Chuqian spoke first.

"Row."

Zeng Xiaoxiao paused and said.

She knew that Mu Chuqian was worried about her.

In order to reassure him and for his own safety, Zeng Xiaoxiao agreed to Mu Chuqian's proposal.
