The snow in Chang'an is still falling, and it seems to be a bit endless.

After the morning of the day, Li Shimin sent people to the mansions of officials at all levels to collect shabby clothes.

The shabby clothes were not worth much to these officials, and even many of them were things they were going to throw away or reward to their slaves, so Li Shimin sent people to ask for them, but they didn't think they had anything, so they took them out directly.

Before evening, Li Shimin's men had collected several large truckloads of worn clothes.

After these worn-out clothes were collected, these people did not stop, and directly sent them to the people who were suffering from the cold and cold.

Perhaps, just because of one piece of clothing, many people will freeze to death in Chang'an tonight.

Of course, just such a small amount of clothing is obviously not enough, and more people are still short of food, and money is becoming more and more important.

Before dark, Li Shimin called Qin Tian to the house.

"Now that this king is in charge of this matter, do you have any way to think of a way to get money?"

"After tomorrow morning, before the officials leave the palace, I hope that the prince can leave those officials in front of the palace gate, and when the time comes, our Jingzhao Mansion will also call some of the mansions in Chang'an there."

"What do you want to do?"

"Fundraising."

Li Shimin frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, although he knew that it would be difficult to make these people spit out money, but he thought that there should be some people who donated.

Maybe the money donated won't be enough to solve the whole thing, but it is possible to solve the urgent need.

If the snow stops, then the matter will be better solved.

After thinking about it, Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

The next morning, the snow was a little lighter, and the road became more and more difficult, which was simply the biggest snow disaster encountered since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

If you continue like this, you will be rich, and I am afraid that you will not be able to withstand it.

Nowadays, the price of charcoal has been inflated very high, and the rich are a little distressed when they burn it.

The cold wind in the main hall was biting, so Li Yuan didn't discuss it with the ministers for long, and directly announced his retirement from the court.

After retreating, the officials walked out with their necks bent, it was too cold here, so it was better to go home to get warmer.

But as soon as these people walked out of the palace, they saw Li Shimin suddenly stretch out his hand to stop them.

"Everyone, wait a minute."

Li Shimin spoke, everyone was a little curious, but they all gave Li Shimin face, and stopped, Li Jian didn't have to give it, but he wanted to know what Li Shimin was going to do, so he also stopped.

"The prince stopped us, but what's the matter?" An official asked, and at this time, I saw that in the direction of the eastern and western cities, many merchants were led here by the officials of the government.

Seeing those businessmen, these officials looked at each other, not knowing why.

Soon, the two sides met.

"Lord Wang, what are you keeping us for?"

"Qin Beijia, you called us all here, for what?"

Officials and businessmen chattered and asked, Qin Tian stood up and said: "The snow is still falling, many poor people in Chang'an are not having a good time, as an official, you should have the heart to seek the well-being of all the people, as a businessman, you should also have a benevolent heart, so the purpose of this official to stay here is very simple, that is, I hope you can lend a helping hand and donate some money and food, as long as you are willing to donate, we will set up a monument of good people in Chang'an City, and engrave your names." ”

In front of these people, Qin Tian didn't talk nonsense, and directly told his intentions.

And after Qin Tian finished speaking, those businessmen didn't dare to refute it, but those officials didn't take Qin Tian in their eyes at all.

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, what if I don't donate?"

"It's like, it's such a cold day, and we're not having a good time."

"It's easy to say, let's donate money, why don't you donate?"

Everyone was talking nonsense, blaming Qin Tian with all their might, Li Shimin's eyes were slightly condensed, and he was very angry when he saw that the faces of many officials were really hateful.

couldn't help but have a seizure, but at this time, Qin Tian stood up and said: "The matter of donating is all voluntary, if you don't donate, I can't do anything to you, as for whether I donate or not, I will personally give you the answer." ”

As he spoke, Qin Tian waved his hand, and soon, a carriage drove over, and then he saw Fu Bo and Hu Shibai carrying down several large boxes from the carriage.

Everyone looked at it curiously, and when the boxes were opened, they couldn't help but be very surprised, because these boxes were immediately full of money.

"10,000 yuan, all here, this is the official donation, I don't want to say more, if you are willing to donate, stay and register the donation, if you don't want to donate, just leave, we will not be embarrassed."

Speaking of this, Li Shimin also waved his hand suddenly, and soon, a carriage also rushed over, and then someone also carried down several large boxes from above.

"This is the king's 10,000 yuan, for my Tang people, a mere 10,000 yuan, what is it."

The Qin Wangfu still has money, but 10,000 yuan is not a small amount.

After Qin Tian and Li Shimin started like this, the people who were attached to Li Shimin were naturally not ambiguous, no matter how much, they all donated one after another.

Among the merchants, there are some who have a benevolent heart, and they also donate a lot, but many more still maintain a wait-and-see attitude.

The rest of the officials are still a little hesitant, and many people also have to look at Li Jiancheng's attitude.

Qin Tian stood in the wind and snow, glanced up at Li Jiancheng slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he didn't say anything, just glanced at Li Jiancheng.

And just after this glance, Li Jiancheng stood up and said: "The people of the Tang Dynasty are also the people of this prince, how can this prince bear to see them suffer, and the East Palace will donate 10,000 yuan." ”

Hearing that Li Jiancheng also donated 10,000 yuan, although those officials who were attached to Li Jiancheng were distressed, they had no way at all, and they all donated the money one after another.

Li Jiancheng looked at these situations, although he was angry, he was helpless.

Now, many people in the Tang Dynasty are watching, Qin Tian has donated, Li Shimin has donated, but if he, the prince, does not donate, he is afraid that he will lose the hearts of the people.

It is even criticized.

His position as the crown prince is not solid, so he naturally does not want to be talked about.

Obviously, Qin Tian and Li Shimin blocked him here, just to donate money to him, and in front of the people of the world, if the prince doesn't donate, is he still the prince?

If it was in private, it would be forgotten, but now on Suzaku Street, in front of the palace, he has no choice.

The donations continued, and after the prince donated, many businessmen also began to donate, and Li Shimin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw these situations.

Although Li Jiancheng donated 10,000 yuan, Li Jiancheng may get a lot of popular support, which is very unfavorable to him, but now for the sake of the people of Chang'an, he can only do this.

What's more, he can't stop this kind of thing, if Li Jiancheng really intends to behave, he can do a lot in this matter.
