Chapter 94: Cheng Biting Jin couldn't stand it

Li Shimin accepted Li Yan's proposal without any doubt and immediately began to draft the purpose.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been diligent in politics and thrifty to cultivate virtue, but there is a great drought in Guannai......"

"In the name of the imperial court, I borrow grain from the world for disaster relief, and all those who borrow grain are recorded in the stubborn stone, and the stone is under the city, and it will be returned after three months, and the grain will be destroyed by the stone."

"If there is a donor, record his name on the monument, show his merits, establish a hundred generations without destroying it, and show it for generations without concealing it......"

The content of the decree is naturally much more complicated than Li Yan's description, and a large number of decorative sentences are used.

In order to ensure that the drought could be successfully overcome, Li Shimin was even willing to erect a monument for the grain borrowers, but this monument would be destroyed after three months when the grain was paid off.

After Li Shimin drafted the holy decree, no one at today's court meeting will discuss anything else.

Now all the officials and the families behind them have to go back and think carefully about the amount of money and food they will raise to ensure that they do not lose face in their own homes.

……

After the early dynasty, this holy decree of borrowing grain and raising donations was posted next to the gate of Chang'an City, and the soldiers in charge of transmitting the message also quickly went to various places and began to announce the resolution.

"This court wants to borrow grain? Can it be returned? ”

"You stupid, didn't you see that the holy decree said that the amount would be recorded on the stone tablet, and the name would be crossed out and the stone tablet would be destroyed after the grain was paid off."

"Wait! Will the name of the donor be engraved on the stele forever? Names that last forever? This...... Hiss ......"

The decree has been posted, and it has attracted widespread attention.

Clearly, no one will refuse such an temptation!

Even the common people, who are usually inactive, want to seize this opportunity to pass on their fame to future generations.

After all, the current drought is only related to the inner road, and the people in the rest of the country still have surplus grain in their homes.

"I'll donate five catties of grain and borrow ten catties!"

"I'll donate twenty pounds! The family and the country are in trouble, how can I stand by and watch. ”

"My ten catties will also be donated!"

As soon as the news spread, a large number of people responded.

Most people choose to donate food directly, and few choose to borrow this option.

In this era, generally only famous families can have the opportunity to pass on their fame to future generations, and ordinary people can have the hope of leaving a name.

Therefore, the Le Shi Ji Gong originally prepared by Li Yan for the giants of the family gate valve attracted a large number of retail investors, and for a while, a lot of grain was collected from all over the country, ready to be sent to Guannai Dao at any time.

Half a day later, the place where the money and grain were collected finally showed up in this place.

"Taiyuan Wang's family, donate 50,000 copper coins and 10,000 stones."

"Fan Yang Lu's family, donate 50,000 copper coins and 10,000 stones."

"Qinghe Cui's family, donate 50,000 copper coins and 10,000 stones."

"Longxi Li's family, donate 50,000 copper coins and 10,000 stones."

“……”

The five surnames and seven wangs arrived in an instant, and donated the same amount of money and food, and at a glance, they knew that they had been discussed in advance.

After the five surnames and seven wangs, some of the nobles who were slightly weaker than them, but also had prominent names, also came here and registered to donate grain.

Their donations are obviously one grade less than those of the five surnames and seven hopes, but the specific amount confirmed according to their prestige and status is not too small, nor will it exceed their own due level.

"Lu Guogongfu, donate ......"

"Luguo Mansion ......"

"Winged ......"

Immediately after the family gate, the princes also sent people to ascend the throne and make announcements.

In just one day, almost all the people with names and surnames in Chang'an City have completed the donation and registered it.

After the intensive food donation on this day, the specific matters in the court did not know where they came from to the people.

"It turns out that this matter was proposed by Dingbei Hou, and it really gave me a chance to wait for a name for future generations!"

"I'll just say how can Dingbei Hou be the kind of person who forgets his roots, it turns out that he has been thinking about ways to save the people of Guannei Dao."

"It's worthy of the Marquis of Dingbei......"

Li Yan's reputation among the people was instantly reversed, and almost everyone knew that the planner of this grain donation was Li Yan.

Of course, there are still many people who are not used to Li Yan, and the most unaccustomed to Li Yan is the group of Chang'an dignitaries.

Due to the grand occasion of the opening of Xianyunju, today's Xianyunju has become a very special existence in Chang'an City.

Almost all the wives of dignitaries will socialize in Xianyunju every once in a while.

It seems that if someone doesn't come to Xianyunju for a long time, it will seem that they can't keep up with the daily communication of the aristocratic circle.

And the most terrifying thing is that the amount of the batch of gift cards that Li Yan gave out at the beginning had already been consumed.

This means that now these ladies and ladies have to pay an extremely expensive price if they want to enjoy the poor and luxurious environment of Xianyunju.

Such a terrifying consumption of funds naturally made the group of dignitaries feel a little difficult, and at the same time, they were also quite jealous of Li Yan and the considerable income of Xianyunju.

It's a pity that today's Li Yan is no longer a nobody in Fengzhou.

The title of Marquis of Dingbei coupled with Li Yan's own prestige made no one dare to make a move easily.

can only silently bear the changes brought by the appearance of Xianyunju to the social circle of Chang'an nobles.

……

In Cheng Fuzhong, Cheng Yanjin saw Cheng Fu's expenditure account book last month, and couldn't help but feel what it means to be in pain.

He called his two ladies and tried to enlighten them.

"Madam, my Cheng Mansion's expenses in Xianyunju last month were a full four hundred! If you count the gift card given by Li Yan, it is a full 3,400 yuan! Madam, why don't we go to Xianyunju a few times in the future? ”

Facing his two wives, Cheng Biting Jin's tone couldn't be tough at all, of course, he was by no means afraid of guilt, absolutely not!

(Cheng Biting Jin's daughter-in-law's situation is empty, please don't worry about why the two ladies exist at the same time)

"But what does Xianyunju have every afternoon...... Afternoon tea, we all made an appointment......"

The tone of the two ladies was also a little weak, and they obviously knew that the cost of Xianyunju was a bit terrifying.

"Eh, this Li Yan is really a black ......"

Cheng Yanjin didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only scold half of the incense in his heart.

In fact, Cheng Yanjin also knows that the entire aristocratic circle in Chang'an is now disturbed by Xianyunju, and it is difficult to be peaceful.

The current situation is that Empress Eldest Sun will take people to Xianyunju from time to time, which directly raises the level of Xianyunju.

It can be said that now Xianyunju is in the eyes of women in the aristocratic circle, just as a top woman is to a man.

That's an irresistible temptation.

Of course, the most important thing is that "drinking a cup of afternoon tea in Xianyunju" has vaguely become a trend.

This kind of group behavior is not at all something that can be changed by Cheng Bitingjin's personal efforts.

"No! Gotta go to Dingbei Hou Mansion! ”

For the sake of the future of Cheng Fu, Cheng Yanjin decided to go to Li Yan for a good chat.
