Chapter Forty-Six: Action
Ma Zhou was also curious about the so-called Jinyang Foundation's private fundraising for Liaodong, so after receiving His Majesty Li Er's explanation, he was also very concerned about this matter, and deliberately changed into regular clothes and walked around Chang'an Avenue to see what kind of fame these people were going to make.
Listening to the scribe in front of him read out the content of the notice, Ma Zhou was a little disappointed with Xuan Shijing's writing, but in terms of content, it was still good, and it was enough to read it to ordinary people.
Ma Zhou came here after specifically inquiring about the fundraising point set up on the Hou Mansion in Dongshan, after all, the Hou Mansion was the initiator of this action, seeing that the Duchess of Jin Guo personally raised donations for Liaodong on the street, and also asked the maid to keep the account, Ma Zhou nodded with great satisfaction.
In the early dynasty today, there are still many people who oppose the actions of the prince and the marquis of Dongshan about Liaodong, of course, including Ma Zhou himself, he does not think that it is so important to deal with Liaodong just by relying on those officials of the East Palace and the Literature Museum, but the matter, at the moment of receiving the will of His Majesty Li Er, he is also uneasy in his heart, if he finds that something is wrong, should he report it truthfully, and stop the prince and the king of Wu and the king of Wei and the marquis of Dongshan from doing this as soon as possible?
I heard that His Royal Highness King Wei went to Luoyang overnight with people last night
The actions of the East Palace and the Wude Hall really caught the people in the court off guard, and while everyone was still discussing how to deal with it, these young people had already begun to act
It's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
After the old man spontaneously donated money and materials, more and more people in the crowd spontaneously donated their own strength, and the Wang family also received both large and small, all of which were recorded by Xiao Huan.
More donated 100 wen, less donated 100 wen, as well as donated clothing, linen and other materials, and some donated food.
In the accounting room brought by the Wang family, in addition to Xiao Huan, there are also two bookkeepers in Xuanwu's arms, but they are a little stretched
After staying in front of the shed of the Hou Mansion for a long time, Ma Zhou took out a few copper coins from his sleeve, about more than two hundred yuan, and walked to the front.
"In the dismounted week, I made a modest contribution to Liaodong and presented two hundred copper coins." Ma Zhou handed the copper coin in his hand to the little guy standing in the shed, and Xiao Huan on the side hurriedly recorded it.
After the little servant took the copper coin, he bowed down to thank Ma Zhou, and then put the copper coin neatly in the box on the ground.
Under the maintenance of the people of the Hou Mansion, everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the Wang family was busy with everyone, and he didn't take care of Ma Zhou, perhaps, the Wang family didn't find out about Ma Zhou's existence at all
Leaving the fundraising site set up by the Hou Mansion, Ma Zhou took an ox cart around Chang'an City, inspecting the fundraising sites set up by several other Lady Orders, and found that it seemed that every bookkeeper was the bookkeeper of the Jinyang Foundation who was wearing a Xuanwu uniform costume to manage the bookkeeping, and those ladies of the Decree were busy with the small servants in the house to receive the donated materials from the people, and some were tired and rested on the side
These officials and wives in Chang'an City are not bad for money, what they want is just fame.
When the Wang family told them about Liaodong, the enthusiasm of these official wives was unprecedentedly high, and no one wanted to stay in the mansion all day long to eat fasting and chant Buddha.
What are you afraid of at this point, there are gods in the three feet of your head, and you can get good results by planting good causes, so these official wives who are pampered on weekdays do not complain about the hardships they imagined, but they act very actively.
The first floor of Xuanwu Hug has been temporarily closed, there are prayer notices for Liaodong praying for blessings posted in front of the door, the guys are busy helping to sort out and carry the materials, and there are people outside who continue to send the money and grain cloth raised to Xuanwu Hug, and the accounts in the hall are also busy sorting out the accounts, after the record is good, there are guys who will put things in and pack them, these things will be directly escorted to Liaodong by Li Chengqian, sent to the barracks, and then arranged by the barracks for sergeants, or directly used in the barracks, or distributed to the local people who have been affected by the disaster.
The people of Liaodong say not much, say less and not a lot, when it comes to the number of people, it is naturally not comparable to Guanzhong Guannei and Shandong and the south and other places, but the local people except grew up in Liaodong, most of them are people who came down from the battlefield when the Sui army conscripted to fight against Goguryeo, and then the Central Plains was in turmoil, and those people also stayed in Liaodong, or to hide from the war, or to guard the heroic souls buried in the battlefield at home, and gradually adapted to the local area, mixed with the locals.
The materials raised seem to be a lot on the surface, but if they are evenly distributed to the entire Liaodong, there will definitely be more monks and less meat
On the fifth floor, Jin Yang sat on Xuan Shijing's huge chair, his small body had already sunk into it, and as soon as he turned his feet, the chair turned in a different direction, facing the beautiful scenery of Xuanwu Lake.
"Brother Jing, your chair is very comfortable." Jin Yang simply kicked off the shoes on his feet, changed his posture, and curled up in the chair.
"Look at you like this, you're a little tired, but you didn't sleep well last night?" Xuan Shijing walked to Jin Yang's side and flattened the back of the chair a little, so that Jin Yang could lie comfortably on the chair: "If you don't sleep well, rest here for a while." ”
Jin Yang nestled in the chair, looked at the panoramic view of Xuanwu Lake outside the window, yawned, and said with a smile: "I did not sleep well last night, after Brother Jing left, Brother Prince pulled me to discuss with the third brother in his study for a while, when I returned to the warm pavilion, it was already the second watch, and sure enough, it was still in Brother Jing's place, which was the most comfortable."
Feeling the cold wind blowing in from the window, Xuan Shijing took out a thick blanket from the cabinet under his desk and covered Jin Yang's body, and then Xuan Shijing sat on the armrest of the chair, looked at the scenery outside the window with Jin Yang, and said with a smile: "I'm more curious this time, how can your fourth brother be so active, and took Du Chuke to Luoyang overnight." ”
Jin Yang moved his body, pulled the blanket on his body upward, and said: "Because the fourth brother wants to go early and return early, the fourth brother is a little lazy on weekdays, and it is more difficult to let him run out at the end of the year than to let his father strike the dynasty, so the fourth brother plans to hurry over there to finish the matter, and then come back quickly." ”
"That's not bad for a while, it's going to be gone at night." Xuan Shijing said.
"The fourth brother is a smart man, he didn't leave last night, and when he went to the court this morning, he didn't know how many rights and wrongs he had to give birth, and when he left, the situation was half settled, and the prince's brother could only fight against the water when he faced the doubts in the court." Jin Yang said: "Brother Jing. ”
"Huh? What's wrong? ”
"I was taken out of the palace by you in the morning when I was hungry, and I haven't had breakfast yet"
"I'll have someone make some for you."
