Chapter 206: The Development of Philanthropy

Mingzhu then said: "In addition to these, the rest of my money is used for good deeds. ”

This is an important reason why Chen Wenhui came today, and she hurriedly said: "I came today to do this good thing. I also visited the hospital and Yangzentang the other day. It's well developed. How is the philanthropy here in the capital now? ”

As soon as Mingzhu mentioned this, she was very happy and said: "At the beginning, the hospital and Yangshantang were established under the leadership of the queen mother. At that time, the queen mother was still an imperial concubine. Later, you also know that the queen mother was sealed, and those noblewomen in the capital, which one did not look at the queen mother. The queen mother is doing good deeds, and she took out her dowry at the beginning, are they embarrassed not to do it? In this way, some are sincere, some are forced to form shì, and some are to appease the queen, anyway, no matter what kind of intentions they have, most of them participated in charity activities in the capital. ”

Chen Wenhui had expected this for a long time. This is what is good at the top, and what is good at the bottom.

Mingzhu continued: "In the past few years, because of the abundant funds, officials from all over the country have also befriended the queen's mother, so the magistrates have taken good care of the Yangshantang and the hospital. Therefore, Yangshantang is now all over the counties of Dachu. It's just that hospitals are not enough, and they can't be all over the place, mainly because the number of doctors is too small, and they can only be set up in a few major cities. In some provinces, there is not even a single provincial capital. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "There is no way to do this, the hospital is easy to be limited by funds, second, it is easy to be limited by the number of doctors, and third, it is also limited by medicinal materials." It's not that easy to promote. Relative. Yangzentang is easier. As long as you find a good steward and have money, you can build it, and all you need is a few houses and a few managers. This is also easy to do, and we can cultivate it ourselves. I think my mother has trained a good number of people. The training was personally presided over by the chief housekeeper of Chen Cai. ”

Chen Wenhui said here and asked: "Can those remote provinces in the northwest also have Yangshantang?" ”

Mingzhu said: "There are them, and every county has them." Which county town does not have Yangshantang, and it will even be regarded as a county order that will not be an official, and this official position has also been done, so. Do you say that the development is fast? ”

Chen Wenhui frowned and said, "Yangshantang is developing so fast. It's not a good thing, such a big stall, but it's easy to manage, and it's not good. Wasted money. Or a trifle. It's not good to be used by someone with a heart, or to use this to do illegal things. ”

Mingzhu sighed and said, "You are really like a god. these years. Because of the rapid development, there are really a lot of strange things. Under the pretext of raising orphans and orphans, some Yangshantang in remote places sold their children, and the children of good families were also sold to Qinglou. And those widows, who were in better shape, were also sold to the green house. These women and children, who originally did not come to Yangshantang, were just short of three meals, but now they are fine, and they go directly to the land of fireworks, and live a life that is worse than death. This is not a good deed, but a sin. In addition to such things, there are also some small ones, for example, the stewards swallow up the money of the Yangshantang, deduct the things of the Yangshantang, and there are even local officials and the stewards of the Yangshantang who collude together to oppress the people. ”

Chen Wenhui asked, "Then how did you find out?" ”

Mingzhu said: "Fortunately, most of this matter is the responsibility of the stepmother." She is really like a god, and she has long known that there will be various situations, so she set up an inspection team to inspect the situation of various Yangshan Halls, and every place she goes to do not contact the local Yangshan Church. The people in these inspection teams are all trained by their stepmothers, and they are very loyal and upright, and they all carry their name cards, and the local officials do not dare not cooperate with those name cards. Even if there are those who collude with the stewards of Yangzentang, these people will take the name card and go to their superior officials, and they will always be able to cover the sky with one hand, and they will definitely be able to rectify it. It was really a big resistance in the local area, and these people also sent a message to the capital, and the stepmother reported to the queen. Is there anything else in the world that can't be solved? Therefore, a lot of strange things were found and corrected in time. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "I knew that my mother had a way. ”

Mingzhu said: "That's nature, we can't compare with her old man." In this way, the deeds of the good Yangzentang were discovered, and the bad ones were also discovered. Okay, naturally, it's a big promotion for the stewards of the Yangzentang. Huai naturally wants to be brought to justice, and in this way, it also deters many people who have bad intentions and have not dared to do it. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This method of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys is not bad, but the key is to enforce the law strictly, be fair, and correct mistakes in a timely manner." ”

Mingzhu nodded and said: "Jingyuan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince both said that the stepmother is a talented person, and if she is a man, she may be able to become the prime minister." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Actually, you are not bad, you give your mother a hand, if she is the prime minister, you will be the prime minister." ”

Mingzhu said, "You're going to make fun of me." In fact, now she also has the title of female prime minister. ”

Chen Wenhui was surprised and asked, "What is a female prime minister?" ”

Mingzhu said: "All the women in the world are under the control of the queen's mother, and the stepmother is the queen's left and right hand, and she can't leave it for a day. Therefore, the stepmother is not only the head of the ladies in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, but also the prime minister of the women in the world. ”

Speaking of which, Chen Wenhui understands. In fact, the queen's control of the noblewomen in the capital was done by her mother. It can be seen that in the mind of the queen's mother, the mother's younger daughter-in-law is closer than her own two brothers-in-law. More important than her two younger sisters.

Chen Wenhui thinks about it, this is her personal charm, and Bai's ability to have such a status is also because she has this talent. Thinking back to the development of my career in the past few years, if it weren't for such a strong backing, I wouldn't have been able to develop so fast. Thinking about it like this, Chen Wenhui suddenly felt that she had such a good father, and her mother was really lucky.

Chen Wenhui asked Mingzhu: "Yangshantang is developing so fast, can the funds keep up?" Otherwise, I will donate some more, and it will be a peace of mind for us to have such an organization that can turn our money into good deeds and help the people. ”

Mingzhu said: "This is a bottomless pit, the world is so big, and things happen every day." Every day, there are people in need of help. Also, although there is one in every county. However, it does not cover the entire county. Also, because of the financial reasons, it is not possible to help everyone in need. So, no amount of money is enough to spend. If you have money to spare, it's good to do good deeds. It's just that you've been spending a lot of money lately, do you still have this money? ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and said, "My money has been spent on building Taoist temples. He also purchased thousands of acres of land in the capital. I want to rely on the income of that land to support the Taoist temple in the future. However, later the emperor rewarded the two mothers with 2,000 acres of land. The two ladies also bought some land and shops in private. All told, their lives are sufficient. Then there is no point in leaving these lands of mine in vain. In this case, I will transfer all this land to the name of Yangzentang, so that Yangzentang can earn a lot of land rent from it every year. It's a trick of trickling water. ”

Mingzhu said: "This feeling is good. You're a big deal, and these thousands of acres of land cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, right? So donate it? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Anyway, it's all my money, I spend it when I make money, and being able to do good deeds and accumulate blessings for myself is much better than making a few sets of clothes and a few pairs of jewelry." ”

Mingzhu looked at Chen Wenhui gently and said: "For so many years, you have not changed, whether it is the youngest daughter of the former county commander or the current Nanyang governor, you are the kind, affectionate and good girl." ”

Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "Why don't you have a reason to praise me so much." Well, I still have something to discuss with you. ”

Mingzhu hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "We just help those who need help, give them food, drink, go to school, feed them, and treat them, but this is not a long-term solution, and it costs too much money." Why don't we open another workshop or something? In this way, Yangzentang can support itself, doesn't it need so much money? Even if you can't support yourself, you can subsidize some of it, and it's better. ”

Mingzhu said: "I have discussed this idea with my stepmother before, but it is very difficult to implement. ”

Chen Wenhui asked: "What are the difficulties?" ”

Mingzhu said: "The most people raised in Yangshantang are the elderly and children, and the old people are sick and old. If these people can work on their own to make money, will they still use it to support the charity? So are children. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it.

Mingzhu said: "Also, there are people who have the ability to work in Yangshantang, but there are not many people in each Yangshantang, if they gather together, let alone open a workshop, it is no problem to open ten workshops, but they are now distributed in various parts of Dachu, how can they gather?" You can't start a workshop for those one or two people, can you? ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and made sense, so she said: "Since this is the case, there is no way to do it." Don't start a workshop. However, I have a way to bring you a customer who donates money, not only wealthy, but also able to donate regularly every year. What do you think? ”

Mingzhu suddenly became happy and said, "Who is it?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Black family." (To be continued......)
