Chapter 57: There is no most shameless, only more shameless

"This person is a filial son, and he is also a hero of my Tang Dynasty, blood-stained battlefield, but he fell so desolate, no wonder it is said that the hero shed blood and tears. Spread my will and summoned Tang Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, to see the union. Li Shimin said with a heavy face.

"Your Majesty! There is another thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”

"Speak!"

"Many people who know the news have already been to Kujing Hutong and donated a lot of money and materials to Zhao Ting."

"And this kind of thing, do you mean that Zhao Ting is not short of money now?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"Not only is there no shortage, but he can also buy two slaves, repair the house a little more, marry a wife and have children, enough for him to live this life."

"It seems that the influence of this Datang Daily is really not small!" Li Shimin waved his hand to let the eunuch retreat, picked up the Datang Daily on the table again, and read it carefully.

The next day, Datang Daily published a message that Datang Daily would set up the China Charity Foundation to raise funds for all heroes in need who were injured and disabled in the defense of Datang and whose lives were in trouble, so that the heroes would no longer shed tears.

And promise that all accounts are open and verifiable, so that donors know the money donated and who the beneficiaries are.

Chang'an Zhonghua Restaurant announced that it would donate 10,000 yuan for the first time, and the Bank of China, which has not yet opened, also announced a donation of 10,000 yuan, and the China Charity Foundation and Datang Daily did not lag behind, announcing a donation of 10,000 yuan, and received a donation of 30,000 yuan as soon as it was established.

On the same day, there were many people at the office of Datang Daily to inquire about donations, and many people donated on the spot, and received donations of up to thousands of dollars on the first day.

Li Shimin, who received the information, was stunned, this Li Zhonghua is too capable of tossing, and he donated 30,000 yuan as soon as he made a move, where did his money come from? Could it be that the wind is blowing?

30,000 guan is not a small amount, and Datang's annual tax revenue is only 30 million guan.

"Stinky boy, do you want to just talk about it? You won't be able to get away with it. Li Shimin had a treacherous smile on his face.

On the third day, the Datang Daily published the China Charity Foundation, which is subject to the supervision of the imperial court, and every donation will be used in practice.

As a result, the people's enthusiasm for donations was even greater, and nearly 3,000 yuan was added on the same day.

On the fourth day, the owner of a silk village went to the Datang Daily office and donated 1,000 yuan, but put forward a request, hoping that Datang Daily could publish it in the newspaper, and Duan Ji did not record the news of the donation of 1,000 yuan from the silk village, and attached the detailed address of his silk village.

On the fifth day, the Datang Daily published the news that Duan Ji Silk Village donated 1,000 yuan, and in the afternoon of the same day, the business of Duan Ji Silk Village was several times better than usual, so that the owner of Duan Ji Silk Village received a soft hand.

With the first person to eat crabs, shrewd businessmen seem to smell business opportunities, from time to time people go to Datang Daily to donate to the China Charity Foundation, a donation is thousands of yuan, if not, Datang Daily will not publish your name in Datang Daily at all.

A month later, Datang Daily set up an advertising department, and merchants can publish advertisements for their store products on Datang Daily as long as they pay a certain amount of advertising fees.

Since the inception of Datang Daily, storytellers in major teahouses have come to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms several times a day, and as long as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is preached, it is full.

And listening to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms every day has also become a hobby that many Chang'an citizens can't shake.

One month after the establishment of Datang Daily, the China Charity Foundation was also established for a month, receiving a total of more than 100,000 yuan in donations, providing assistance to hundreds of disabled retired soldiers and improving their lives.

When the people who received the aid expressed their gratitude, the staff would come and say, if you want to thank Your Majesty and the court, Your Majesty has not forgotten you, the court will not forget you, and the people thank you.

More than 100,000 yuan of donations were received in a month, which made many people feel excited and red-eyed.

Li Shimin in the Taiji Palace, looking at the twists and turns presented one after another, asked the imperial court to return the China Charity Foundation to the imperial court.

He also pointed out that Li Zhonghua was buying people's hearts by doing this, and he should be punished.

100,000 guan a month, more than 1 million guan a year, more than the annual tax revenue of a state and county, Li Shimin said that it is all fake if he is not moved.

With this huge amount of money for military spending, he can even fight a big war.

There is still half a month to go before the New Year, Chang'an City ushered in a heavy snowfall, and at this time, Li Zhonghua was once again summoned by Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

When he learned of Li Shimin's thoughts, Li Zhonghua couldn't help but sigh that he was going to come long ago.

"Your Majesty! Every donation received by the China Charity Foundation is well documented, and similarly, how these funds are used is also well documented, and even the salaries of the staff are paid by the Bank of China, which will be opened.

The staff of the China Charity Foundation Federation made it clear to everyone who received the aid that all this was a gift from His Majesty and the Imperial Court, and if they wanted to thank him, they would like to thank His Majesty and the Imperial Court.

Your Majesty or the court wants to take over the past, but the grass people don't dare to have the slightest opinion, but does Your Majesty think that the operation of the court will be better and the amount of money that can be received will be more? Please think twice, Your Majesty! ”

"Of course I want to believe you, but many ministers don't believe you, and with so much charity, who can guarantee that you won't embezzle it privately?" Li Shimin said after being silent for a moment.

"Didn't Your Majesty send someone to oversee it? Isn't Your Majesty at ease with the people you send? ”

"I'm sure you won't be greedy for charity, but you can embezzle it! If you embezzle the money, you won't be able to find out, will you? ”

Li Zhonghua was speechless for a while, in fact, if he wanted to embezzle the donation, others really couldn't find out.

"It's still a short time, and when it takes a long time, it's even more difficult to check."

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Li Zhonghua thought to himself, hand it over, hand it over! This kind of thankless work saves you from worrying about it.

"Leave it to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take over! However, it is still your Datang Daily that receives the donations. Li Shimin said with a smile on his face.

"What Your Majesty means is that the Datang Daily is responsible for collecting money, and the imperial court is responsible for spending the money." Li Zhonghua said in surprise.

"That's what I mean, you shouldn't have an opinion! If you have an opinion, keep it, if you don't have an opinion, it's better, help the court, I won't treat you badly. ”

How many shameless people can say such things!

I knew that the people who became emperors were all despicable and shameless people, Li Zhonghua can be regarded as a real insight today, what is called not the most shameless, only more shameless.

It's just that Li Zhonghua can refuse? Can you say no? If the emperor said it, it was a holy decree!
