Chapter 19: The Foundation

"Charitable foundations?" Liu Yan muttered this word he had never heard of before and asked, "This charity... Foundation? Is it really possible? ”

To let people donate silver taels for nothing, in Liu Yan's opinion, this is completely impossible, after all, not everyone has the same heart as Su Lin, who cares about the country...

Well... Regardless of whether Su Lin cares about the country or not, at least in Liu Yan's current view, Su Lin is a good comrade who worries about the country and the people.

"This foundation can't be started in a day or two, if you want to do it, you have to have a group of people who can set an example." Now that he brought it up, Surin thought about how to do it well, the beginning and the process, these are all things he needs to consider.

"Su boy, since it is for the benefit of the country, this foundation must be decided to be opened, and when the time comes, the old man and Meng Wei will make arrangements, as for you, you should call a few young talents..." No, just a few hundred taels, that's an unimaginable fortune.

Don't say that there are twenty or thirty businessmen in Yangzhou alone, and there are hundreds of them, not to mention that there are officials like Liu Yan, it is not easy to raise tens of thousands of taels of silver at one time?

However, this matter should not be rushed, and if there is no one who started it, the matter will inevitably be declared bankrupt.

At this time, the little guy had already moved the stool, Su Lin was weak, and he was a little tired after standing for so long, thinking that he must buy a special carriage in the future, so Su Lin slowly sat down.

"People who donate money still need to get something in return." Su Lin closed his eyes and rubbed his somewhat dizzy head, a little anemic, "However, this reward is enough for some false fame." ”

False name?

Zheng Gong and Liu Yan looked at each other: "Isn't it some title?" ”

"Exactly!" Su Lin took the tea brought by the maid and took a sip, if it weren't for the difference in his relationship with Liu Yan, I'm afraid he wouldn't even dare to sit down, "Donors can get a medal from the foundation, um... It's a token, and it would be better if I could give them some miscellaneous tax relief..."

"Finally, you can set up a list of donating money, and the total amount of money donated by each household reaches a certain amount, which can be exchanged for silver medals, gold medals, and the total number reaches the top ten, and there are special titles..."

Su Lin took a deep breath, thinking about the rewards of those modern games and live broadcast rooms, and the preliminary plan gradually took shape: "In this way, it will inevitably arouse some people's desire to win and vanity..."

Liu Yan shook his head and frowned: "Isn't this so that those who are really worried about the country and the people will not be discovered by everyone?" ”

In Liu Yan's opinion, since it is for the benefit of the country, there are still people who really donate money for the Great Song Dynasty, no matter whether they are famous or titled, these people can never be treated badly...

"Uncle Shi, a true patriot, doesn't want to reciprocate, and he doesn't care about these petty profits." Surin immediately retorted.

Liu Yan looked at Zheng Gong, and after seeing that the latter nodded at him slightly, he exhaled: "The matter of the token will be done by me, and as for other specific regulations, I have to worry about Wenbang... I'll be on to Tokyo in a moment. ”

This kind of thing still needs to be reported to the emperor and get his affirmative reply, otherwise, if someone is ginseng and says that Liu Yan is amassing wealth in Yangzhou and plotting to rebel...

This is no joke...

Looking at Su Lin, Liu Yan continued: "After getting the news from His Majesty, you can implement it. ”

"That's... The little nephew retired. Then he gave a salute in the direction of Zheng Gong, "Late retirement ...

"Wenbang."

"Huh?"

"Su Ji, if something happens in the future, let's hang the sign of Liu's Mansion..."

When Su Lin walked out, he didn't expect that most of the hour had passed, and the sun had begun to move westward, counting as time, it was already three minutes past noon.

On the street, although it is very sunny, there is still an endless stream of people, there are some small stalls on both sides of the street, and occasionally there are a few mysterious places, there are a few unknown books and paintings, adults with children, all pull children to quickly get around...

With a wry smile, Su Lin couldn't help but recognise that when he was a child, he spent a few days at a bookstall to buy two little yellow books, but these were no longer very attractive to him.

By the way, I bought a few strings of sugar gourds, plus a few sugar people, two boxes of rouge, and went back to give them to Su'er.

Now Yun Su'er has not pierced Su Lin through only a layer of window paper, and everyone who went to buy tofu thinks that Su Er is Su Lin's virtuous helper.

These gossips came out of the mouths of those maids and young women who came to the store to buy tofu, Su Lin has always hated gossip, but now that he has become the object of gossip, not only is he not unhappy, but he has a hint of joy.

He can see that Su'er likes him, but he is not ready to take the initiative to confess, and now the gossip is like this, although it will not hurt them, but Su'er's reputation still needs to be maintained, and when the time comes, he will wait for Fang Mu and Fan's family to make a decision to pierce this layer of window paper for himself and Su'er.

While his mind was in his head, a fast horse galloped through the street, and before Surin could react, he almost tripped over.

couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, and looked back at the man riding the horse, but he was stunned: "Brother Pengju? ”

I saw Yue Fei sitting on horseback, the corners of his mouth curled, and a fierce aura emanated from him, what a young general!

"Pengju, what are you doing here, get off the horse quickly, don't let the catcher be caught quickly." The law of the Great Song Dynasty states that horses are not allowed to run in the city, well, the meaning is similar to that of modern times, otherwise you will be fined and even go to jail.

Yue Fei touched his nose, turned over and dismounted, and patted Su Lin's chest: "Wenbang, what's wrong here?" ”

"I just went to visit Zhizhou, what's wrong, you can't walk the streets if you have nothing to do?" Su Lin glared at Yue Fei, threw him a sugar gourd, and asked rhetorically.

After taking the sugar gourd, Yue Fei suddenly cried and laughed, he hadn't eaten this thing since he was ten years old, this guy...

The two led the horses to an inn, and Su Lin told Yue Fei about the Foundation.

"For the benefit of the country, Pengju is unremitting, don't say donate money, what if you donate your life?" When Yue Fei heard that the money was used to support national construction, especially to support the army, he grabbed Su Lin's hands, "Haha, I think this matter is done!" ”

Su Lin returned home, in a good mood, Yue Fei said at the time, he would call a few of his friends, and even go to Qin Hui and Tang Yin to say, which of the four great talents in Yangzhou doesn't want to contribute to the country?

The most important thing is that these people have relatively well-to-do families and have a good reputation, and if they take the lead, they must be able to get many people involved.
