Shang Jinxiu's caution was not in vain.

Gu Yunhai is a very careful person, and his past experience has taught him a profound lesson, only by being cautious can he live. So the next day, before the things were sent out, he opened the box and checked it again. Of course, this inspection is to open it to see if there is anything wrong with it, and it is impossible to pour out all the gold inside, count it and put it back again.

Therefore, even though Gu Yunhai was very careful, he still couldn't find that most of the gold in the box had already been replaced by Shang Jinxiu, and it had been replaced with hard and worthless stones.

When something is delivered to some people, he will naturally pay a great price for it.

Although Shang Jinxiu had such a windfall, he was not ready to swallow the gold privately. It just so happened that Shang Shigong had just become the prefect of Qingzhou, and he was in urgent need of political achievements. Therefore, Shang Jinxiu planned to use the gold to open a charity hall to take in those street children who had nowhere to go, as well as some lonely old people and poor women.

At the same time, Shantang will also invite doctors to open free clinics every month to help the poor who cannot afford to see a doctor and deliver medicine.

This kind of thing has been done by Shang Jinxiu and Li Shuhua when they were in Qingshan County, but Qingshan County is only a small county town after all, and the scale of Shantang is naturally not large.

Today's Qingzhou City is much larger than Qingshan County, and Shang Shigong is still the prefect of the entire Qingzhou.

This charity hall can also be opened in the name of the government, but not in the name of a private person. Otherwise, if anyone dares to win people's hearts like this, even if it is really for the sake of doing good deeds. The emperor, who was already suspicious and sick, also wanted conspiracy theories, thinking that this person wanted to rebel.

Shang Jinxiu didn't know this truth at first. After all, there are all kinds of charitable funds in modern times, both official and non-governmental. Where did she know? In ancient times, it was so troublesome to do a good deed, and if one was not good, it might lose your head.

At that time, it was Li Shuhua who reminded her, and she understood the unspoken rules.

Now, Shang Jinxiu has experience, although she has to put out the gold but has to hang the name of the official government, which makes her a little uncomfortable, but thinking that it is her father who is the official, she does not reject it at all.

Anyway, the gold came from the wrong way, so it was just right to use it for charity. It can help the poor people. It can also add political achievements to the merit of businessmen.

Shang Jinxiu made up his mind, and the next day he discussed with Li Shuhua about opening a good hall. Li Shuhua already had experience and had no objection to Shantang. The government actually opened a good hall, but it was only because of the lack of funds, the situation of the good hall was not good, and the people who were taken in it had a bad life, at most they could eat enough, but the food was very poor.

It's not that Du Yuzhang can't do things, he comes from a family. There is no good way to encourage those big households to donate, and even if they do, those big households will give a little bit at most. What's more, although the emperor ordered that good halls be opened in various places. But he is not a generous lord. A portion of the annual tax is deducted as the expenses of the benevolent hall, but the amount set by the emperor is very small. With that bit of silver, how can it be possible to maintain the daily operation of the entire Qingzhou Charity Hall?

Grain production was low in those years. Not to mention disaster years, even in good years, many people starve to death because they don't have enough food. A year of disaster. Or if there is another natural disaster, there will be a lot of refugees. Some of these refugees died in the famine. Some of them were arranged by the government afterwards and could be self-reliant, while the remaining part was old, weak, sick and disabled, and had no ability to be self-reliant, so they could only stay in the good hall.

Even so, not all such people are lucky enough to enter the Shrine.

Du Yuzhang is already considered a good person, not only will he not be greedy for ink, but he will also subsidize a little bit every year. Even so, these donations are still a drop in the bucket for Shantang.

But Du Yuzhang is also capable, although not every poor person can enter the good hall, but as long as it is a person who enters the good hall, he will ensure that the person is full, even if he can only eat thick noodles and steamed buns, so he doesn't have to go hungry.

However, compared with Du Yuzhang's method, Shang Jinxiu and Li Shuhua obviously have more experience and means. Some of these methods were learned by Shang Jinxiu from books, some of them were her own thoughts, and some of them were Li Shuhua's ideas.

As a strong woman, Li Shuhua naturally hopes that those poor people in Shantang can be self-reliant, instead of passively relying on the government to support them. Of course, if there is really no way, she can't force people to work, but just maximize the potential of those people, help them find suitable jobs, and make them self-reliant.

Because of the efforts of Li Shuhua and Shang Jinxiu, many people in Shantang in Qingshan County later left Shantang and had their own homes. Although it is only a small house, it is on its own to support itself.

With such a successful experience, Shang Jinxiu and Li Shuhua are naturally very confident in running the entire Shantang in Qingzhou. What's more, they don't need to do it themselves at all, as long as they work out a detailed charter, the business will be handed over to the people of the government to do it.

As for those who are unwilling to do things or want to fill their own pockets with bad intentions, Shang Shigong will naturally take advantage of this opportunity to catch a typical example of the other party.

As long as this kind of thing is done well, it is a great achievement. Anyway, the reputation is too good. Even if Shang Shigong didn't become the prefect of Qingzhou for a long time, even if there must be many people who didn't like him and didn't accept his control, once he told these people that he could run Shantang well, those people would not refuse.

No one is a fool and would be willing to give up such an opportunity to increase his fame and merit. What's more, the methods of Shang Shigong will not infringe on their interests, so why not do it?

After Shang Jinxiu discussed with Li Shuhua, Li Shuhua agreed to her decision, and the two first drew up a charter according to experience, and when Shang Shigong went home for dinner at noon, Li Shuhua mentioned the matter to him.

Shang Shigong has already tasted the sweetness of Shantang, and Li Shuhua helped him run Shantang in Qingshan County at the beginning. Besides, he also hopes to help those poor and poor people, so naturally he will not refuse such a good deed.

So in the afternoon, he gathered his subordinates in the yamen and held a meeting to discuss this matter with them.

As soon as he brought it up, the faces of those subordinates changed slightly, and they looked at Shang Shigong with a little more disdain. These people all feel that the merit of the businessman is too good and ambitious. Shantang has always been a troublesome errand, and the emperor ordered it to be opened, even if it burned silver, it was impossible to say that it would be closed.

It's just that even if this good hall is open, the situation is very bad, and it costs a lot of money every year to support the idlers inside. Even so, the situation of Shantang is still very poor.

These people have long been accustomed to such a status quo, and it can be said that they have long been dead. They are not hard-hearted, or they are all greedy. As long as there are people with a conscience, they all hope to run the good hall well, so that those poor people who are homeless can have a place to go and not live on the streets.

It's just that the reality has already hit them, and they no longer have hope for Shantang at all.

Therefore, as soon as Shang Shigong mentioned the matter of Shantang, they felt that Shang Shigong was too eager for quick success, and even to the extent of losing their minds. Because Shang Shigong was still very young, these people felt that he didn't look very reliable.

Although Shang Shigong saw their faces and guessed their thoughts, he was not angry. He continued to talk about his plans, of course, these plans were discussed by Li Shuhua and Shang Jinxiu, and they were the successful experience of running a good church in Qingshan County.

Shang Shigong didn't say a few words, and these people's faces changed again.

None of the people standing here are stupid.

Shang Shigong's luck can be said to be very good, and this position was taken over by him from Du Yuzhang. When Du Yuzhang was still in office before, some moths or incapable people had already been cleaned up. Du Yuzhang was born in a big family, and the Du family was loyal to the emperor, so Du Yuzhang naturally had no scruples when he started.

Now Shang Shigong has just taken over this position, and the people below have not changed. Even if some people have moved their minds, they haven't had time to do it in a hurry. Therefore, the team under him can be said to be quite capable people.

These people are not stupid, so they naturally heard that the method of Shang Shigong is really good. In addition, Shang Shigong also said that if the donation is not enough, he is willing to pay out of his own pocket. Of course, this part of his own pocket will only be in the name of the government and will not be announced.

But it doesn't matter if the people don't know the way, as long as the emperor knows the way.

Shang Shigong is not greedy, and he knows very well that this kind of thing cannot be greedy. Even the big families don't dare to buy people's hearts too obviously, otherwise a person who is not careful will be labeled with the intention of rebellion, let alone a small businessman?

Once he dares to do this, not to mention that the emperor will not let him go, those who want to pull him down have already rushed up!

Shang Shigong also made a decision to make a decision, although he hoped that the people would live a good life, but he did not want his wife and daughter to suffer from it. He also knew that it would take a lot of money to maintain the business of the temple. Even if donations can be raised, and there are funds allocated by the imperial court, the remaining holes are still very large.

If Li Shuhua and Shang Jin were all allowed to show off, he would be reluctant.

But in the end, Li Shuhua persuaded him, because she was confident that once the business was good, they would not have to pay much out of their own pockets.

Shang Jinxiu doesn't care, she just happened to have a windfall recently, how can she do it if she doesn't spend it? Anyway, it's not her gold, and she doesn't feel distressed at all.

After Shang Shigong finished speaking, his subordinates immediately agreed to his decision. At the same time, the way they looked at Shang Shigong also changed.

From disdain, to pity.

These people feel that Shang Shigong is simply a big wrong.

Shang Shigong naturally will not be the wrongdoer, and Shang Jinxiu, who worked hard to promote this matter, is not the unjust, and soon, these people will understand. (To be continued......)
