Chapter 169: Going to Sea Again and New Projects
A few days before returning to Guangzhou, Xie Yunfei never appeared, and Li Yaoyu also knew that he was busy with him and Xu Qiuping.
I don't know what the result will be, but Xu Qiuping must be a little dissatisfied with Xie Yunfei, who has been away for half a year, except for missing him. Just like Xu Qiuping's poem:
"Butterfly Love Flower"
I was annoyed that the autumn and winter flowers were full of paths, and the rain entered the sparse windows, knocking on the sad mirror. Tossing and turning and waking up from a dream, Qiongju fell into the well again.
Splendid fireworks are beautiful, and when the catkins fly, there is no trace for a moment. If the wind is uncertain, the mountains and clouds are quiet.
Li Yaoyu couldn't cry or laugh when she saw it, she supported Xie Yunfei's achievements, and hoped that he could go home often, in short, it was a contradiction.
However, the people of Nanhai County were very surprised to learn that Xie Yunfei followed Li Yaoyu to fight, made military achievements, and was commended by the emperor.
"The prodigal son has turned back, and Lord Thorn Shi is now awake from a dream."
"Yes, you didn't look at him, hehe's happy every day. If it was in the past, I would keep a straight face every day. ”
"I guess, only the county lord can do it."
Li Yaoji, who was drinking in the Xitian Restaurant, heard the discussion outside and didn't understand, "The matter of Chang'an has spread here so quickly?" ”
Fifth Yao shook his head, "How is it possible, nine times out of ten, Xie Yunfei is bragging about himself everywhere." ”
"That's right, this thing has done something terrible, I wish everyone in the world would know."
"He wants Xu Qiuping to know."
Li Yaoyu tugged at his mouth, "Well, he's still not confident." Forget it, leave him alone, let's get ready to go to sea. ”
The ship set sail again, heading straight for the island where it had last landed. The crooked moon-like island and colorful sea water make Li Yaoji's family like it very much.
This time, Li Yaojian came prepared, "Picked up all the seashells that I could see." ”
Li Yaojian disembarked with five women and a dozen servants and searched the beach.
It wasn't until it got dark that I returned to the ship and returned to the ship. Li Yaowei looked at the mountains of seashells and was quite satisfied.
"Why does Xianggong want so many pearls?"
"There are not too many good things, I came in a hurry last time, and I will pick more this time."
"There's another reason." Fifth Yao explained on the side, "King Qin...... The princess saw my pearls shaking before, and she liked them very much, and the prince wanted us to help him collect some. ”
"I see." Xiao Xuan nodded, "But you don't need so much, right?" ”
"Don't you need it?"
"Oh yes......"
Du Manwan asked a question she had wanted to ask for a long time, "Xianggong, the reason why you went back to Guangzhou is for this?" ”
"It's not." Li Yaoyu shook his head, "For the people of Guangzhou." ”
"The people of Guangzhou?"
"Hmm." Li Yaowei smiled, he had been named the county prince for almost a year, and as soon as the taxes he deserved arrived, he would be able to do a wave of things.
"Wow Xianggong, look, this pearl is so big!" Su Yue held this pearl in her palm and held it up in front of everyone, very surprised.
After comparison, it is a little smaller than the one that the fifth Yao has.
"Keep it."
"No, it's not a good deal." Su Yue refused, "Xianggong, your hair is long, you can tie your hair, you can also make a hairpin or something, just like my sister." ”
"No need." After all, Li Yaowei is a modern person, and he is still a little resistant to having a hairpin in his hair, and he doesn't want to use all the good things for himself, so he can't snub them.
"Sister." Su Yue packed it in a jewelry box and handed it to Fifth Yao, meaning that she would persuade Li Yaoji.
"Listen to the fair." Fifth Yao also felt that nothing good could be attributed to the couple of them.
"I don't dare take it." Su Yue insisted. Xiao Xuan, Du Manwan and Xiao Qin all supported her, and in the end, Li Yaoyu was moved and reluctant to accept it.
After collecting a few boxes of pearls, Li Yaoyu returned to Nanhai County with satisfaction and began his next step.
A few days later, after his 2,000 households were taxed, Li Yaoyu went to Pit Li Ruci and Dong Yan again.
"I'm going to introduce more benefits for the people, but unfortunately the bank doesn't make much money. I have an idea now, would you like to take a stake? ”
Li Yaoyu asked the two of them.
Dong Yan and Li Ruci glanced at each other, clenched their fists and arched their hands: "How much does Lord Jungong need?" ”
"......" The corners of Li Yaoji's mouth twitched, you are so direct, I am a little embarrassed.
"Not much, two million."
Dong Yan and Li Ruci also twitched the corners of their mouths, this is not much? That's all we have to do.
Two times in a row, one person sent one million yuan to Li Yaoji, Dong Yan and Li Ruci were about to give away their family property, but in order to have a good relationship with Li Yaoji, they were also willing.
When the National Bank was established, they participated in the funding, and after the people of Nanhai County knew about it, their reputation was much better, at least they would not be rolled their eyes or scolded by their backbones. The notoriety of Dong Jiuzhuo and Li Zhen was slowly whitewashed.
So they understand that the money is well spent.
After getting this money, and last year, after paying taxes, Li Yaowei set up a new project in the National Bank - a charitable foundation.
Food, cloth, and money were provided.
In short, it is a modern charity, of course, compared with modern charity, the National Bank is fair and transparent, and every penny will be used for people's livelihood.
Of course, Li Yaowei has not yet begun to accept donations from the people, but just said: Wealthy businessmen are welcome to participate.
Li Yaowei is still trying to pit rich businessmen.
"Lord Gun." In the crowd of onlookers, someone asked, "Does this charitable foundation need to be purchased by ordinary people?" ”
"No, my foundation is for people in need, children have no money to study, serious illnesses and can't plow the land, houses have no money to renovate, disaster victims have no food and clothing, etc., as long as they need assistance, I will do my best to support."
There is another point that Li Yaowei didn't say, that is, those who don't have the money to buy medical insurance, Li Yaowei will include them in the list of insurers for free.
Li Yaoyu pointed to the announcement above and explained, "Of course, my ability and property are limited, this foundation accepts and welcomes rich people to participate, and I promise that all food and money will be open and transparent, just like this." ”
"I, 2,000 stone of grain, 2,000 horses of cloth, and 100,000 copper coins, which are the taxes received by the Nanhai County Duke and the money earned by the bank."
"Also, Li Ruci and Dong Yan, wealthy businessmen in Nanhai County, each gave one million yuan in aid."
"In the future, no matter how much money is received, how much money is spent, and how it is spent, all will be clearly recorded and announced."
Li Yaowei explained passionately to everyone, and also commissioned the county school to print a more specific announcement for the masses to receive and read.
This includes how to apply for the Relief Fund.
And the first thing Li Yaowei did was to help more than 40 children go to school, including the private school of Mr. Yun, and by the way, Mr. Yun was also invited to teach in the county.
The second thing is to send food, cloth and other things to some poor families in several villages near Nanhai County.
