"Your Majesty, there is a war report from the frontier that the Tatars have invaded."

As soon as the little eunuch entered the Fengtian Palace, he frightened the monarchs and ministers in the palace.

The Tatars have invaded!

This news is really scary enough.

Although the Tatars invaded frequently, every time the Tatars invaded, it was a headache for the imperial court and a great loss for the people.

"How's it going? Do you need to organize troops to support you? ”

Emperor Hongzhi was quite calm, he knew that with a famous general Wang Yue, it should be difficult for the Tatars to enter, so he forcibly restrained his mind and asked as calmly as possible.

"The slave maid is not very clear, the herald sent by the frontier is waiting outside the palace gate."

"Then why don't you invite the herald in!"

……

Wang Yue sent a war report to the imperial court, only explaining the situation, complaining about his suffering, and asking the imperial court for reinforcements, but he did not ask the imperial court to increase troops, and at the same time, he also expressed his confidence in resisting the attack of the Tatars in the war report.

Therefore, this time, Emperor Hongzhi was also as good as a stream, did not increase troops to the frontier, and did not interfere too much in Wang Yue's arrangements, because Emperor Hongzhi knew very well that Wang Yue, a famous general, was a professional in war.

It's just that Emperor Hongzhi still arranged for the British Duke Zhang Mao and the Baoguo Duke Zhu Hui to reorganize their armies for war, just in case.

At the same time, the military department also began to collect materials, recruit people, and prepare to send materials to the frontier.

With such a big movement, it makes no sense that the people don't know.

In fact, the next day, almost all the people in the capital, including Tianjin, knew that the Tatars had invaded.

Because, the Globe and Mail reported on this.

Today, the Global Times has also set up an editorial office and a printing house in Beijing, so the news of the Tatar invasion was quickly learned by the reporter of the "Globe and Mail", and on the same day, the news quickly spread to Tianjin.

Then the next day, the front page of the Globe and Mail carried the news of the Tatar invasion.

At the same time, in the front page of the "Globe and Mail", the news of calling on the people to donate money and materials to share the pressure on the imperial court was also published.

This is what Li Zhaotong meant.

It's just that when the news was published, the response was not very good.

This is not the first time that people have been called upon to donate money and materials, and many people know that the money or things they donate will not reach the soldiers on the frontier.

……

Tianjin, Daming Imperial Military Guard.

When Zhu Houzhao saw Li Zhaotong coming in, he immediately picked up the "Globe and Mail", and said to Li Zhaotong with a show off:

"Li Er, your call for donations, it's useless! Inquired about this palace, almost no one donated, do you want this palace to support you a little, just ask. ”

"Of course!"

Li Zhaotong was unceremoniously:

"Your Highness, the minister came to you, in fact, he wanted to ask you for donations."

"That's okay, this palace donates 100,000 taels, it's interesting enough, right?!"

Zhu Houzhao is not a stingy person, he used to pick the door, purely because he had no money, but now that he has money, he will naturally not pick again.

Moreover, Zhu Houzhao is most interested in military affairs, and now the donation is to donate to the frontier soldiers, and he is naturally happy, so Zhu Houzhao did not hesitate to pledge 100,000 taels.

"But Li Er, the palace has donated money, how do you ensure that the money is not greedy by which dog officials?"

Before Zhu Houzhao could express his gratitude, he expressed the doubts in his heart, and Zhu Houzhao really had a lot of doubts about corruption.

"This is the main thing you have to say when the minister comes to your Highness."

Li Zhaotong came to Zhu Houzhao, of course, not to find Zhu Houzhao to donate alone.

Although the prince's donation will cause a sensation, it will not affect anything, and everyone will still not donate.

Because many people are still well aware of one situation, that is: large donations will be refunded in full; Small people donate, the more the merrier.

Besides, this world belongs to the Zhu family, the prince is still the future emperor, he took out the money, many people will only think that this is a matter of course, and there will not be much moved, and then follow the trend and donate enthusiastically.

Li Zhaotong came to Zhu Houzhao to discuss a plan with Zhu Houzhao, and let more people donate enthusiastically.

In this way, he, Li Zhaotong, can get more life rewards, live longer, and can also exchange more things from the system.

"What do you want to do?"

Zhu Houzhao knew that Li Zhaotong already had an idea in his heart, and even, Zhu Houzhao thought that according to his understanding of Li Zhaotong, this dog thing would move the saint Lao Tzu out next.

Sure enough.

"Your Highness, the sage Lao Tzu once told the minister about the concept of a charitable foundation, and I think this plan is feasible."

"Welfare Foundation?"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it carefully, but didn't search for this word in his mind, so he asked:

"How?"

"It is to set up a non-governmental organization, which is subject to the supervision of the imperial court, but the imperial court can only supervise and prevent the money from being embezzled, misappropriated, etc., but the imperial court cannot meddle in the legitimate use of the money.

It is up to the charitable foundation itself to decide how to use the money of the welfare foundation. ”

"It's useless."

Zhu Houzhao immediately made a conclusion,

"You are simply changing the soup and not the medicine, and you can't guarantee that the people in the welfare foundation will not be greedy for this money. In addition, what is the difference between your model and donating to the imperial court? There is no supervision in the imperial court, and some, those imperial histories, as well as the Metropolitan Procuratorate, can be supervised, but those dog officials should still be greedy.

You are purely changing the soup and not the medicine, and the people will still not respond to your call to donate money and materials!

Moreover, there are basically few ordinary people in my Ming Dynasty who have surplus food, what do you ask them to donate? Nowadays, the donations are basically the gentry.

Those gentry, very smart, can see through your little trick at a glance. ”

Although Zhu Houzhao is young, he has received imperial education since he was a child, and his political wisdom is not weak, and he actually sees many things very clearly.

"Don't worry!"

Of course, Li Zhaotong knew that this was an act of changing the soup but not the medicine, but his words were not finished yet!

"Then you go ahead."

Zhu Houzhao shrugged his shoulders and motioned for Li Zhaotong to continue.

Li Zhaotong said: "This welfare foundation will be personally responsible for Your Highness, do you think it is feasible?" ”

"It's still useless, although Bengong doesn't bother to be greedy for this money, but others don't think so."

Zhu Houzhao still shook his head.

Li Zhaotong exhaled deeply, thought about it, what Zhu Houzhao said was indeed reasonable, what he thought was indeed a little simple, and it may not be effective to bring out the experience in the "memory" in a vague way, because it will not be adaptable.

Today's Daming, the credibility of the royal family is actually not high.

Because of the main force that invaded the people's fields, the royal family was definitely the main force among the main forces!

Which of those "Zhu" raised by Daming is not hurting the credibility of the royal family? Even the emperor's own imperial estate is constantly encroaching on the land of the people and hurting the credibility of the royal family.

Therefore, what Zhu Houzhao said really makes sense.

"In that case, I'll have to use a killer move."

Li Zhaotong said secretly.
