Lantian County.

Although it is only a small county town adjacent to Chang'an, and the scale of the city is far inferior to the imperial capital Chang'an City, the scale of commercial activities here has a tendency to slowly catch up with Chang'an City, and the commercial focus of Datang is quietly shifting to Lantian County!

Behind all this, it is because Li Zexuan is the lord of Lantian County, under his guidance, Lantian County established the Department of Commerce, specifically to take over the business cases of businessmen, and maintain the business environment in the city, the businessmen who were originally at the bottom of the society, in Lantian County got equal political treatment with ordinary people, this political treatment not only refers to their social status, but also their children can also go to the official school of Lantian County, which is an opportunity for businessmen in the world to dream of! So this back and forth, there are more and more shops, inns, and restaurants in Lantian County!

Therefore, the notice in today's "Datang Daily" that "Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce wants to hold a fundraising conference" caused a sensation in Lantian County, and Chang'an City is not small at all!

"Boss Zhang, what do you think of what is said in the newspaper today?"

In a silk shop, two middle-aged men are talking.

"What do you think? What can you think? This matter was initiated by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, which means that it was instructed by Lord Hou! We can do business in Lantian County, and the business is getting more and more prosperous, isn't it relying on the grace of the Hou Ye? Based on this alone, the old man of this fundraising conference has to support hundreds of times! ”

"Boss Zhang, Gao Yi! Xu thinks the same way! Hou Ye said to us businessmen, if it weren't for Hou Ye, would that stinky boy in my family be able to go to official school? I just hope that kid can compete for some anger and be admitted to Yanhuang Academy in a few years, so Lin has nothing else to ask for in this life! This fundraising, even if it is not for anything else, for Hou Ye, Xu will donate 500 yuan! ”

"Huh! Yes, yes, yes! And what is written in this newspaper is also correct, this time the imperial court attacked the Turks, if it is defeated, the Tang Dynasty will be doomed! Those of us who will not be able to do business well when the time comes! So this fundraiser, we are not only for the Hou Ye and the court, but also for ourselves! ”

"That's right! Boss Zhang, do you know how much Boss Lin of the Dragon Gate Inn wants to donate this time? ”

"How much?"

"Twenty thousand!"

"What? 20,000? This Boss Lin is too generous, right? ”

"Isn't that right? Boss Lin is a core member of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, this year, the Lin family has made a lot of money behind the Hou Ye, and those rare things in the Strange Pavilion are generally given priority to the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and it is difficult for them to get rich if they want to! Oh, by the way, I heard that Boss Lin's son was also admitted to Yanhuang Academy this time, and their Lin family is really going to be developed! ”

"Tsk! It seems that there is still meat to eat after Hou Ye! ”

"Huh! Is that~! ”

There are many businessmen in Lantian County, and as soon as this fundraising notice for businessmen came out, it immediately detonated the entire county, and the streets and alleys, shops and restaurants in the city could hear people talking about this matter everywhere!

Of course, the article in "Datang Daily" also caused great repercussions in the literati circle!

Chang'an City, Guozijian.

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of all the people! Datang is not the Tang of one person, but the Tang of all people! If the country is safe, the people will live and work in peace and contentment; If the nation is about to die, the people will be displaced! Well written! Well written! ”

In the teaching hall of the Guozijian Taixue Hall, a student held the "Datang Daily" and muttered with emotion.

This is the recess time, and many students will take out the newspaper at this time, of course, sometimes they will also roughly browse the news in the newspaper, and if they are interested, they will also read it carefully.

"The article is a good article, but it is such a loyal and patriotic thing, why should the businessmen do it? Can't I wait for someone to read? ”

The main course of the Taixue Hall is classics, and the students in it are more seriously influenced by Confucian culture, as scholars, they are enjoying the "welfare" brought to them by the class hierarchy of "Shinong Industry and Commerce".

"That's right! That's right! Why is this fundraiser only for businessmen? Could it be that this Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce looks down on us scholars? ”

"Ahem! Brother Wu and Brother Meng, this businessman has a lot of money! ”

"What's wrong with the extra money? That's a lot of money! I'm ...... tonight I'll go back to my dad tonight to ask for money, and I, Wu Wencai, will definitely go to this fundraising conference! My generation has studied the books of sages and sages, how can such loyal and patriotic things let those businessmen steal the limelight! ”

"That's right! That's right! I'm going to donate money in two days! ”

An article aroused the patriotic enthusiasm of many students, even though they looked down on businessmen in their hearts, but at this critical juncture of the country, they were also willing to temporarily put aside their mustard and differences, and contribute their own strength to this Datang!

Lantian County School, after Li Zexuan became the master of Lantian County, in addition to building roads, expanding the city, and rectifying the business environment in the city, there is also one thing to rebuild the county school, compared with before, the scale of the county school in Lantian County has expanded several times, and the county school recruits students of all ages in the entire Lantian County, because there are many businessmen in Lantian County, so this also includes a considerable number of businessmen's children!

In the past, after learning that the official school in Lantian County could recruit the children of businessmen, many businessmen moved their families to the county seat of Lantian County, in order to let their children become scholars and have a good future in the future!

At this time, during the recess, the students in the county school discussed the headlines on the "Datang Daily" with no less enthusiasm than Guozijian!

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of all the people! This sentence is so well written! ”

"Two days later, the Dragon Gate Inn fundraising conference, although I can't go, I must let my father go! If I don't donate 500 yuan, I won't recognize him as a father! ”

"Wow! Five hundred! Brother Yu, your shot is too generous, right? ”

"Hey! Lin Xiaobao, you don't know this, right? Yu Daqing's porcelain shop in Lantian County can be described as a daily gold, only 500 yuan, Yu Daqing's father will definitely be able to get it! ”

"Haha! Overpraise! Overpraise! In fact, money is a trivial matter, if you think about it carefully, if the imperial court attacks the Turks this time, if it is defeated, then the world will return to troubled times! Where will we be as comfortable as we are now? What this newspaper says is right, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of all the people! There should be money to contribute, and there is no money to contribute, this fundraising conference of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce is well organized! ”

"Brother Yu really understands the righteousness! I didn't say anything, but I told my dad when I went back today and asked him to go to this fundraiser too! If you don't donate 500 yuan, I, Lin Xiaobao, don't recognize him as a father! ”

Sure enough, the children of businessmen are "rich", and they have the confidence to speak, and after seeing the news of the fundraising conference in the newspaper, these rich second generations began to think about how to "force" their sons to donate money when they went back!

"Dad, mother! You call for rain, but something? ”

Lantian County, Yong'an Fang, Houfu East Courtyard Partial Hall.

Han Yuxi walked in from the outside, first saluted Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li, who were sitting inside, and then asked.

The two elders glanced at each other, and Li Jingmo said, "Yu Xi, have you read today's newspaper?" ”

Han Yuxi nodded and said, "Dad, you're talking about the fundraising conference, right?" Yesterday, His Royal Highness the King of Shu sent someone to the house to borrow the letter of the president of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce of the Xianggong, and Yu Xi knew about it, which was promised by the Xianggong before, and now that the Xianggong is in the army, he can only entrust the King of Shu to do it! ”

"I see!"

Li Jingmo suddenly suddenly, he turned his head to look at Mrs. Li, and saw that Mrs. Li nodded at him, so he looked at Han Yuxi again and said:

"Yu Xi, although our Li family is now a marquis's family, but at first it was still a businessman, today the newspaper said well, the rise and fall of the country, all the people are responsible, the imperial court sent troops to conquer the Turks this time, that is only allowed to win but not defeat, in case of real defeat, the people of the Tang Dynasty will live a dark life from now on. Child, you have never experienced war, you don't know that human life is like grass in troubled times, and your mother and I still have some money in our hands, so I want to take advantage of this fundraising conference to let you help donate to the imperial court for military funds! ”

Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li have both experienced the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, under the troubled times, there are wars everywhere, corpses are everywhere, people's livelihood is withering, not to mention doing business, it is a miracle to survive! It is precisely because of this that Li Jingmo and his wife know how precious this peaceful and prosperous world is!

Han Yuxi was stunned when she heard this, and then reacted, she hurriedly said, "Dad, what are you talking about?" How can I use your and my mother's money? In this fundraising meeting, although Xiang Gong did not explain to me, I also understand that Xiang Gong is the president of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, our family must pay this time, Dad, don't worry about this matter anymore, my daughter-in-law has known that the shopkeeper of Zuixianlou Liu will let him participate in this fundraising conference instead of Hou Fu and donate 30,000 yuan! ”

Now that the Li family is Li Zexuan in charge, after Han Yuxi married into the Li Mansion, this financial power naturally fell into the hands of her, the hostess, and Li Jingmo and Mrs. Li gradually "retreated to the second line" and were happy to be at ease!

Hearing this, Mrs. Li said with a smile: "Hehe! I didn't expect you to have arranged everything in advance, so your father and I won't have to worry about it! This home is taken care of by you, Xuan'er really wants to save a lot of heart! ”

This is telling the truth, although Han Yuxi didn't understand many things when she first entered the Li Mansion, but diligence can make up for her clumsiness, besides, Han Yuxi's head itself is not stupid, but there are many things she hasn't been exposed to! After a few more months of familiarity, the Li Mansion has become more and more organized under Han Yuxi's management! There is almost no need for Li Zexuan to worry about things at home!

"Mother, don't laugh at your daughter-in-law!"

Han Yuxi's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but her heart was sweet, and then, she bowed and said: "Dad, mother, if you have nothing else, Yuxi will retire, my daughter-in-law wants to go to the Nuan Tang Foundation today, there is still a lot of money left in the account over there, I want to donate some of it to the imperial court as military funds!" ”

Li Jingmo nodded and said, "Hmm! Then there you go! Bring the palace guards and stay safe! ”

"Yes! Father! ”

Han Yu replied and turned to leave.

Last winter, when it snowed continuously for several days in Jingshi, many people froze to death, so Li Zexuan established the Warm Tang Foundation and invited Empress Changsun to be the president of the Warm Tang Foundation. The original intention of the establishment of the Nuan Tang Foundation is to gather the strength of everyone to help those poor people, so that the winter of Datang will no longer be cold!

Later, Li Er personally issued a decree that the imperial court would promulgate the title of "Righteous Businessman in the World" for the person who donated the most every year, so that the person who donated would be more active! The Nuan Tang Foundation has completely become a department that makes money every day!

The idea of the Nuan Tang Foundation was first proposed by Li Zexuan, but after it was proposed, this guy became a shopkeeper and didn't care about it at all, but fortunately, under Han Yuxi's careful management, the Nuan Tang Foundation not only did not decay, but became more and more presentable!

In the past six months or so, in addition to managing the affairs of the Hou Mansion, Han Yuxi has spent more time with some idle ladies in Chang'an City, such as Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Qin, to raise funds together, give porridge to the poor together, and ask doctors to hold free clinics for the poor on a regular basis!

Nowadays, the reputation of the Nuan Tang Foundation in Datang is simply in full swing, and if anyone dares to say a bad word about the Nuan Tang Foundation in public on weekdays, they will definitely be attacked by the group, which is not an exaggeration at all!

Fortunately, the president of the Nuan Tang Foundation is the eldest grandson queen, otherwise anyone would not be able to afford such a high civil prestige! This is also the reason why Li Zexuan insisted on asking Empress Changsun to concurrently serve as the president of the Nuan Tang Foundation!

For more than half a year, the Nuan Tang Foundation has rescued many people in need, but the foundation's account has also accumulated a lot of donations, which is not because Han Yuxi deliberately withheld the donations, but in this era of extremely underdeveloped information, it is not easy to hand over the donations to a person in need, there are many processes to go through, and the Nuan Tang Foundation is a non-profit organization, and the manpower within the foundation is really limited, so the efficiency of this charity will not be too high!

But then again, the businessmen of Datang are really rich, and those people donate money in order to compete for the title of "Righteous Businessmen in the World", but they donate thousands of dollars.

Now that he has caught up with the fundraising conference, Han Yuxi can't help but feel a stir in his heart, isn't the money of the Nuan Tang Foundation inexhaustible? It happened to be donated to the imperial court as the military funds of the imperial court's Northern Expedition!

It's just that the stakes are big, and it involves the misappropriation of donations, and the Nuan Tang Foundation prohibits anyone from misappropriating the funds without permission. So she had to discuss this matter with Empress Eldest Sun in advance, after all, Eldest Sun was the president of the Nuan Tang Foundation!
