After returning home, Chang Runzhi discussed with Yao Huang the gifts he would bring back tomorrow.

Yao Huang hesitated: "Why don't you open the treasury of the prince's mansion and look for one or two important things?" ”

Chang Runzhi knew what Yao Huang meant.

She is a married girl, and almost all the things around her are given by her mother's family. The only valuable object she could hold as a gift came from her dowry.

But the dowry was originally given to her by her mother's family, and she got married, and then took the dowry back...... It doesn't look good.

Therefore, the return ceremony must not come out of her dowry, but only from the Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion.

But Chang Runzhi was a little skeptical that there were any valuable things in the Nine Emperors' Mansion that could be handled.

She hesitated for a while, but still asked Liu Tong.

"Warehouse?" Liu Tong was puzzled: "You open it and take a look." ”

Chang Runzhi couldn't laugh or cry: "What treasures are there in the house, you don't know yourself?" ”

"I don't care about that." Liu Tong scratched his head: "In my prince's mansion, few people come to the door, and naturally there are no gifts from others." You just take the key to the storeroom and open the storeroom to see what you think is available, and you can let people take it out. ”

After all, it was something that he was going to take to Yue's house tomorrow, and Liu Tong didn't dare to be sloppy: "I'll go with you to take a look." ”

Chang Runzhi shook his head helplessly, so he could only let Yao Huang take the key to the warehouse and go to the warehouse with Liu Tong.

The person in charge of the treasury was an old man from the Western Regions, with a large bald area on his head, and Liu Tong called him Uncle Agu.

Uncle Agu's cheeks were flushed on both sides, and he asked Liu Tong and Chang Runzhi with a smile what was the matter.

Liu Tong said what he meant, and Uncle Agu took the key in Yao Huang's hand and opened the door of the warehouse, and said, "Ah Jiu, there are few things in the warehouse." ”

It's okay to have less, just a few things that have a little bit of interest and are better worth a little money.

Chang Runzhi thought like this, and as soon as the warehouse door opened, she couldn't wait to look inside.

Uncle Agu unhurriedly pulled out a drawer from a tall cabinet inside, took out a booklet and handed it to Chang Runzhi.

This must be a list of the contents of the storeroom.

Chang Runzhi glanced at the warehouse that seemed a little empty, took the roster and flipped through it, and then couldn't help sighing.

Poor! The poorest prince really didn't brag about it.

Liu Tong was a little embarrassed on the side, and also leaned over to take a look.

In fact, the things in Liu Tong's warehouse have some intentions, but they are not valuable things, and most of them are used.

That's right, Liu Tong equated the warehouse with the storage place, and even some dilapidated furniture was left in it.

Chang Runzhi pressed the corner of his forehead with a headache, and Liu Tong laughed twice, both of which were a little lacking in confidence.

"My ...... The money is all spent in the Western Regions. Liu Tong winked at Chang Runzhi: "But this year's silver and rice have been sent, and I haven't moved yet." ”

Chang Runzhi smiled and said, "Did you let me take your silver rice back to the door?" ”

Liu Tong also knew that it was really a bit unseemly to do this, so he thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I'll go to the fifth brother and ask?" ”

Chang Runzhi shook his head: "King Rui knows, doesn't my eldest sister also know?" ”

"Then what should I do......" Liu Tong frowned: "Why don't you take the silver and buy it?" ”

"It's good to buy some strange gadgets, such as incense from the incense shop. What about bulky items that can be gifted? Chang Runzhi thought about it carefully, and suddenly had an idea: "When we get married, there should be no fewer guests who come to congratulate us." Where did you leave those gifts they gave? Didn't go into the warehouse? ”

Liu Tong immediately looked at Hua Ze on the side.

Hua Ze hurriedly said: "I opened another courtyard and put it away, but it has not yet been registered, I originally wanted to wait for the princess to count it......"

Chang Runzhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Go over and take a look." ”

The gifts given by the guests solved the urgent needs of Liu Tong and Chang Runzhi.

However, this incident also made Chang Runzhi very clear that Liu Tong was a little confused about his family, and he didn't even know how much savings he had.

As far as he is concerned, all he needs is to be fed and clothed every day.

He didn't really care about the rest.

This gave Chang Runzhi a little headache.

She knows that the best way to save a family business is to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

Things like open source need to be planned slowly, and throttling, the biggest loss of money so far, is Liu Tong's support for the Western Regions every year.

Let him cut off this money used to help the people of the Western Regions?

Chang Runzhi shook his head.

She is not an ignorant little girl, and some aspects of men's persistence cannot be touched and opposed.

Once she opens this mouth, in front of Liu Tong, her image will definitely plummet.

What's more, Chang Runzhi doesn't think it's a meaningless thing.

Liu Tong is willing to do this, and he has never stopped for several years, which is enough to show his feelings for the Western Regions.

As his wife, how could she force Liu Tong to break off this relationship?

If you can't save money, you can only open source and make more money in your pocket.

After this night, Chang Runzhi leaned on Liu Tong's arms and asked him how he helped the people of the Western Regions.

Liu Tong said: "There is a good hall specially opened for people from the Western Regions in the capital to take in homeless or desperate people from the Western Regions. The Magar in the Western Regions would call on the congregational to build houses near the altar to provide shelter for the people of the Western Regions. Half of my silver was given to Shantang here in the capital, and the other half was sent to Ma Ge. ”

Chang Runzhi was puzzled: "What is Ma Ge?" ”

"Priest," replied Liu Tong, "is the one who presides over the rituals, performs the rituals, and worships the sacred fire." He also needs to preside over any activities of the congregation. ”

Chang Runzhi doesn't have much understanding of ancient religions, but from Liu Tong's description, she can know that Ma Ge's status is relatively high.

Chang Runzhi hesitated, and then asked, "Are you ...... Directly to the silver? Food, clothing, and sleep for them? ”

Liu Tong nodded: "If they are in trouble, they can all get help." ”

Liu Tong looked at Chang Runzhi, the light was a little dim, and he couldn't see clearly.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Chang Runzhi hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Tong couldn't help asking.

After a long time, I heard Chang Runzhi exhale.

"You...... Haven't you heard a word? If you can help for a while, you can't help for a lifetime. Chang Runzhi said softly: "You help their hearts, it's good to set off, but year after year, as long as there is no food, no clothing and no place to sleep, someone can provide such food, clothing and sleeping places...... Over time, they will rely on your provisions, and who is willing to pay labor in exchange for the basic necessities of survival and life? ”

Liu Tong opened his mouth slightly, a little stunned for a while.

Chang Runzhi said softly: "If you want to help them, this kind of practice will not last long." After all, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and instead of giving them fish to eat, it is better to teach them to fish and let them fish and eat by themselves. Tong, do you think I'm right? ”

Liu Tong didn't say anything for a long time, and Chang Runzhi also accompanied him to be silent.

After a long time, Liu Tong sighed lowly.

"You're right," his forehead rested on Chang Runzhi's forehead, and he rubbed it gently: "This method won't last long, I have to change the way I help them." (To be continued.) )
