Chapter 170: Xie Yunfei's happy event
In ancient times, most of the people were not most concerned about national affairs, regime changes, and imperial power struggles. What they are most concerned about is whether they can live a good life, and everything Li Yaowei does in Guangzhou and Nanhai County is what they care about and what they like to see.
Therefore, as soon as Li Yaoji's charitable foundation appeared, it immediately caused a huge sensation in Nanhai County, which is to scatter all the family property for the benefit of the people! The praise of the people of Nanhai County for Li Yaowei has reached a new stage, and some people really regard him as a living bodhisattva. and the two wealthy businessmen, Li Ruci and Dong Yan, not only lost the disgust and contempt of the past, but also gradually turned into praise. Li Ruci and Dong Yan were also very happy, they got the reputation they needed, and they also strongly supported Li Yaoji's foundation, and they also added financial sponsorship a few days later.
Li Yaowei is also very happy about this, money, of course, the more the better, he wishes that those rich people would help each other and benefit the people.
"Miscellaneous Poems of Literary Idleness"
Mounds, mountains, streams, rivers, and thatched cottages.
Zhuhu chickens and porpoises are scattered meat, and beggars in the wild forest feed the remaining bran.
The bedside is dying of ordinary medicine, and the bag will be a dowry.
May I cross the crowd first, and my kindness will be boundless.
During the period when the charity foundation began to operate, Li Yaowei led people to inspect the people's situation everywhere, and this Tang Dynasty, which is about to enter the prosperous era, is prosperous and powerful, and there are still many poor and miserable people. Filled with emotion, he returned home and wrote this poem.
The two things that impressed him the most, the first one was written by Jaw Lian, an old man who was so poor that he couldn't open the pot, and he could only pick up the chaff left over from other people's feeding chickens and pigs. There is also a family whose elderly parents are seriously ill in bed, but they are reluctant to buy good medicines, drinking those herbs that basically have no effect, just to save money, marry a wife for their son, and prepare a dowry for their daughter.
"It occurred to me that in many families now, parents have worked hard all their lives, and their sons have grown up, but they have not been able to enjoy happiness. When he was old, he had to work hard for his son to marry a wife, buy a car and a house, buy a high-end house for his son to get married, and live in an old house in the countryside by himself, in the wind and rain. ”
Li Yaowei sighed with emotion and said to Fifth Yao.
"Well, that's all we can do." Wu Yao was also very uncomfortable when she saw those scenes, "I'll go back and ask my father to contribute a little money." ”
"It's not mandatory."
Fifth Yao shook his head, "It's okay, he used to go to the countryside from time to time to give alms, but now it's just a matter of doing a little more, and it's also excellent to let him do more good deeds." ”
"That's just as well." Li Yaowei thought for a while, and decided to write a letter to Li Yuan to report the matter, after all, Li Yaowei had promised the emperor that the money from the National Bank must be handed over to the national treasury or used for the people. And Fifth Yao wrote a letter to Fifth Wenbo, persuading Fifth Wenbo to also participate in this matter, or simply, he did such a thing himself.
Li Yaoji's poem, as well as what he saw and heard, was published in the county newspaper, and it also caused a sensation in Nanhai County, and many wealthy people participated in donations, first, they were indeed willing to help the poor, and secondly, they also wanted to have some relationship with Li Yaoji, so the foundation's food and money had a steady stream of supplements.
……
It didn't take long for Nanhai County to have one more happy event, Xie Yunfei and Xu Qiuping got married, and they will get married next month. The happiest is Xie Huilian and Xu Guoxing, who have been friends for many years and have become in-laws, which is naturally a great thing.
Now when it comes to Xie Yunfei, few people look down on or hate him anymore, Xie Yunfei is also a real change, in order to support Li Yaowei's charity, he sold all the treasures that the emperor rewarded him and donated money to the foundation.
"Jun Gong, long time no see!" Xie Yunfei took Xu Qiuping to appear in Wen Xianju, and his face could be described as a spring breeze.
"Congratulations." Li Yaoyu smiled, and he was really happy for him in his heart.
"Hey, hey." Xie Yunfei smiled cheaply, "County Prince, my wedding with Qiu Ping is on the eighth day of next month, so I must come." ”
Li Yaoyu nodded, "Yes, but you said that you won't accept my gift money, don't forget." ”
Xie Yunfei scratched his head, pretending to be stupid, "Huh? When? I didn't say yes. ”
"Holy!" Li Yaoyu raised his leg and wanted to kick him, but after thinking about it, he held back, and still saved some face for him in front of Xu Qiuping.
"Oh, don't be so stingy, a little gift money is just a drop in the bucket for you, Your Majesty has rewarded you with a lot of treasures."
Li Yaojian blackened, "Obviously you broke your promise, but now I'm stingy?" ”
"That's right! Ha ha. ”
"I knew you were so cheap, so I wouldn't have taken you to war."
……
Xu Qiuping stood next to Du Manwan throughout the whole process and watched Xie Yunfei and Li Yaoyu fight, before Li Yaoyu came to Guangzhou, she would never believe that this gentleman who used to be uneducated, bullying men and women, and doing evil would be her husband. But fate is so magical, one person, changed the life trajectory of two people and two families.
"It's finally time for this." Xiao Qin said with a smile.
"Huh?" Xu Qiuping was stunned for a moment.
Du Manwan's eyes flashed, looked at her and asked, "Don't you really think that we don't know about what happened between you?" ”
"You know?"
"Since Gongzi Xie and Nanazi came, the number of times you have come to our house is beyond imagination, basically every day, and you often intervene in the conversation between Gongzi Xie and Nanazi, so your thoughts, we knew from the beginning."
"Oh......" Xu Qiuping made a big red face, "Just Xie Mingyu, he doesn't know?" ”
"Well, if you hadn't given him that peace charm, he would have really thought you hated him all along."
"This nerd!" Xu Qiuping looked at Xie Yunfei with a smile and said angrily.
Xiao Qin smiled lightly, "However, we all think that you will have it sooner or later." ”
"But what are you going to do in the future?" Du Manwan asked, "He seems to want to follow Xianggong to Chang'an." ”
"I'll stay with him." Xu Qiuping's eyes softened, "These days, I'm also struggling with this, after all, my father and mother are old, but my father and mother have asked me to follow him, and it's not appropriate to let him go alone." ”
……
In late July, Li Yaoyu waited for an edict from Li Yuan, praising his behavior, and then there was no more. There is also a letter from the crown prince Li Shimin, to the effect that he expressed his sadness about the affairs of these poor people, and also admired Li Yaowei's actions, and then encouraged him, hoping that Li Yaowei would continue to work for the well-being of the people of Guangzhou, and finally said that he would also consider implementing this practice throughout the country.
When Li Yaowei saw Li Shimin's last sentence, he was satisfied. His efforts alone can only benefit one party, and only the emperor can benefit the whole country.
