King Yue frowned, and then asked, "Then don't you have a good way to do it?" I heard that you have been busy since August and September, and it is the New Year, if there is no progress so far, is there any difficulty that is difficult to solve? ”

Yuan Zitong said abruptly: "If you want to say that it is difficult, it is mainly a matter of money. Alas! With such a large range, there are many places to spend money! The area of four counties, hundreds of miles of land, hundreds of rivers, and the construction of dikes alone cost a lot. ”

"This is not to build a house at home, you can build a mansion for three or five hundred yuan, if you want to build all the dikes in the South China Sea, you can't think of it without hundreds of millions of money, this money is just thrown into the water!"

"Besides, the counties are all fighting on their own, and there is no unified planning arrangement, so they are too busy to sweep the snow in front of their doors, so how can they coordinate the construction of the embankment? Alas! At the end of the day, it's all about money! ”

King Yue nodded and said, "If you spend so much money, there is really no place to go." As far as I know, the imperial court doesn't have any money now, and I'm afraid it won't even be able to take out one-twelfth of it, so it seems that we have to find another way. ”

Chen Shouzhong suddenly said: "Since the money is not available, can we stop the construction of the Twenty-Eight Temples first?" Although the construction of the temple is a great act of honor to the Buddha, if it can solve the century-old flood in the South China Sea and benefit the local people, it will be a meritorious act to help the world. I think the emperor should also have some consideration for this! ”

Zhong Yunzhang said happily: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, there must be a trade-off, besides, the construction of the temple is not completely stopped, when the problem of the South China Sea is solved, and there is money in hand, can it be continued!" ”

Li Yi said with deep understanding: "The top priority is to raise funds, and if you consider priorities, you should first use the money for building temples to control the floods in the South China Sea." It's just that the emperor has already made a grand wish, and it is difficult for us to understand the holy will, and it is very important that someone can give advice. We don't have a speaker here, and it stands to reason that we are not qualified to say this. ”

King Yue smiled: "Rules are rules, you can't say it, someone has to come forward." This matter is wrapped up in me, I dare not say whether it will succeed or not, but this matter must be heard by heaven is the right reason. ”

Zhou Keming said: "There is not a small amount of money spent on controlling the floods in the South China Sea, and the money saved by suspending the construction of monasteries alone is probably still a drop in the bucket and useless." In my opinion, there are a lot of rich families in our capital, and let everyone contribute and come up with some money, which will have no impact on them. Even ordinary people will not sit idly by. If you can add up a lot, this amount of money is also very considerable! ”

Lu Guangtu raised his hand and said: "I agree, we eat big fish and meat all day long, and we must also think that the people of the South China Sea are still without food and clothing." I can't count them in the capital, but I'm much better than the hungry people. As long as someone starts, I am the first to pledge, and I dare not say more, but I still have three or five hundred yuan. ”

King Yue said happily: "This idea is good, if it can be launched, I am willing to do my best to support it." It's just that the people in the capital don't know much about the situation in the South China Sea, and they rashly propose to help the hungry people, I'm afraid many people can't understand it. ”

Liang Song said: "There is great power in numbers, but it can also be counterproductive. The key is that the imperial court must make a statement and tell the people about the situation in the South China Sea, and if we add fuel to the fire, things will develop benignly. With the credibility of the imperial court as a guarantee, don't the good families enthusiastically pledge donations? If the people of the capital work together and unite as one, the money raised will definitely meet expectations. ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "Mr. Lin Qingliang Lin of 'Shang Pin Xuan', everyone must know that after I told him about the situation in the South China Sea yesterday, he has already made the decision to pledge 200,000 yuan. Of course, this is only an initial amount of his donation, and it will continue to increase in the future. ”

"The most important thing is that Mr. Lim has applied to set up a Tzu Chi Association to run this project. For this reason, I sent a special report to the Emperor, and His Majesty also greatly supported him, and instructed King Hu Bing to arrange for King Hu Bing to handle the formalities for the Tzu Chi Association. In addition, Mr. Lim Keng Leong Lam is also planning to set up an auction house to invest the money from the auction of dead pawn items in their pawnshop into the Tzu Chi Association. ”

"If you have the heart, you can do it, donate money or materials, as long as you can do something for the victims of the South China Sea disaster, we will have a clear conscience."

Lu Guangtu hurriedly said: "I have a few old antique things at home, and it is useless to put them at home, and it must be rare for rich people." Since you and Mr. Lin are acquainted, I will send them over tomorrow, and I will shoot as much as I can, and all of them will be donated to the Tzu Chi Association. ”

Yuan Zitong then said: "In addition to donating money, I also donate a few things, and I must not fall behind the Guangtu brothers, hehe!" Tomorrow I will pick up and send all the money and belongings. ”

Li Yi said with a smile: "I have already decided, and tomorrow I will donate a pair of crystal balls and crystal Buddha beads that I got in Yunnan." However, I still believe that this donation should be done according to one's ability, and each person's situation is different, so it is important not to affect one's own life because of this donation. ”

King Yue nodded and smiled: "Yes! I know most of the situation of the other brothers, and I must not compare them with us. There are so many people in the capital, as long as everyone contributes, this amount is considerable. In my opinion, the amount of donations from the other brothers here is limited to one month's salary, and there is no need for more. ”

"Runzhi, tomorrow I will send a glass screen at home, but I don't know the detailed address, you can tell me the detailed address of the Tzu Chi Association when you go back, so that they can send things over."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and even Zhong Yunzhang and Zhong Youzhang, who had the thinnest family background, also determined to donate a month's salary, and each had their own ideas and discussions during the banquet, and the atmosphere of the banquet also reached a climax.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone has already changed the topic and talked about the customs and anecdotes of various places.

Zhong Yunzhang suddenly asked Liang Song: "I heard that you cracked a big case a few days ago and captured a female murderer, this woman has been hiding for seven years, and finally assassinated the murderer of her parents, avenging this deep hatred and blood hatred for her parents, she is really a generation of strange women!" ”
