Chapter 246 The Red Cross cut the ribbon

"Your Majesty, the specific details of the reform of the provincial system have been drafted by the Government Council, and after Your Majesty has reviewed it, the ministers and others will go to Fujian Road and Jiangnan West Road separately to supervise the implementation." In the early dynasties, Wen Tianxiang came out to play,

"Well, I'll see tonight, as for your government affairs council, go down to the two roads to supervise the implementation, because it's a pilot, you can go to a few more people."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Government Council has already discussed, the minister and Lord Liumengyan will go to Fujian Road, and Lord Zhang Jian and Lord Wu Jian will go to Jiangnan West Road."

"Well, accumulate more experience so that we can learn from it when it is implemented in other regions."

"Yes, Lord's Order."

After Wen Tianxiang retreated, another middle-aged official came out of the civil official column and said, "Your Majesty, the minister Li Chang has folded and played. ”

"Aiqing, please speak."

Li Chang, the servant of the ministry, has a low-key surname, and has the same name as Song Shenzong, Li Chang, a famous minister during the Song Zhezong period,

"Your Majesty, the new day is changing in the middle of the dynasty, and after discussing with colleagues in the Ministry of Officials, it is proposed that in the original detailed rules for the evaluation of officials, seven things should be the main thing, as the key content of the year-end evaluation of officials, and these seven things are to respect honesty and shame, strict township behavior, choose to obey orders, depose corruption, be suspicious of prison, appoint Confucian teachers, and repair the law of military service, please review it."

"Li Aiqing's proposal is very good, I will play it accurately, and Ye Aiqing, the secretary of the ministry."

"The minister is here."

"You have optimized the rules for the evaluation of officials at the end of the year, focusing on the key points of this year, and Li Aiqing's seven things are all recognized by me and can be used as key reference items."

"Yes, Chen Ye Mengding obeys the order."

"Li Aiqing of the Ministry of Officials just said very well, more than half of the first year of Xianchun has passed, my dynasty is now changing with each passing day, the weather is myriad, your various academies and departments also need to start from themselves, improve the responsibilities of the department, remember not to stay in the mouth of anything, the so-called empty talk misleads the country, hard work prospers the country, what I need is a person who works hard, if it can only be boasted, then it has to be changed, because in my dynasty, there is no need for such officials."

"Yes, your ministers obey."

"Okay, this is the end of the day, let's go back to our respective departments to do things."

On the way back to the Funing Palace, Xiao Qi said: "Official, do you want to go to the unveiling ceremony of the Red Cross in the afternoon." ”

"Of course go, Xiao Qi, have you informed Huang Yong and Liu Hao of the Great Song Dynasty Royal News?"

"I was notified two days ago."

"Well, let them publicize it well, and He Ji, who presided over the ribbon-cutting ceremony, also notified it."

"The official family can rest assured, it has been notified." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "The procedures for the ribbon-cutting ceremony are all carried out in accordance with the instructions of the official family, and there will be no problems." ”

"Okay, call Mr. Shang, and go to Lion Peak first."

The ribbon-cutting ceremony originated in the shipbuilding industry in Europe,

After the invention of the steam engine, the shipbuilding industry in Western Europe has developed rapidly, whenever a new ship is launched, it will attract thousands of spectators to watch, in order to prevent the crowd from crowding to the new ship and accidents, the host will be far away from the hull before the new ship is launched, with a rope to set up a "line of defense", and so on after the new ship launching ceremony is ready, the host will cut the rope for the audience to visit, later, the rope was changed to a ribbon, so people gave it the name of "ribbon-cutting", and passed on,

However, history has changed, the term "ribbon-cutting" will no longer be a European initiative, but the first I used, on September 15 of the first year of Xianchun, the first ribbon-cutting ceremony in history is about to be born in Lin'an.

I put on a mask, accompanied by Yuan Jian and Xiao Qi, walked to the opposite side of the Shifeng Commercial Bank, the Red Cross is located opposite the Shifeng, is a two-story building with reading power, I went out and looked at it, but saw the Red Cross in front of the crowd, gathered in twos and threes, the door and exterior wall of the building were repainted, and the horizontal plaque on it was covered by a red cloth, and at a glance I knew that there was a happy event coming to the door, He Ji and the three presidents and vice presidents of the Red Cross Pu Shougeng, Xiao Tian, and Fang Ling stood in the middle of the door, and were talking about something, There are two rows of about 20 seats in front of the four people, except for the three chairs in the middle of the front row, which are still empty, the rest of the seats are already full of people.

Xiao Tian, who was busy, saw me coming, and hurriedly led me to the front row of the main seat to sit down, I saw that most of the people here knew each other, there were local officials such as Lin'an Prefect Qianshuoyou, there were Yang Hui, Huang Daopo and other scholar representatives, there were Zheng Huchen, Lin Zhixiong and other business elites, and on the edge were Huang Yong, Liu Hao, etc. of the Royal Song Daily, and around the seats stood Red Cross staff in uniform and a large number of onlookers, many of these onlookers were students of Lin'an University, He Ji's meaning was obvious, To let college students have a benevolent heart,

Although many of the people here knew me, almost none of them had ever seen my masked face, and they all thought in their hearts, "Here, what kind of person is so big, sitting on the main seat, even Lin'an's parents, Guan Qian, have to condescend to him." ”

I nodded at the four Fang Ling, signaling that the ceremony could begin,

Although He Ji and Pu Shougeng knew in advance that I would be disguised to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony, but at first glance, they couldn't help but be surprised by the ingenuity of disguise and the artificial creation.

At this time, Fang Ling took two steps forward and said generously: "Please be quiet, now I announce that the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Chinese Red Cross has officially begun, and I would like to invite Mr. Pu Shougeng, President of the Red Cross Society, to deliver a speech." ”

Fang Ling was full of confidence, and he looked like a fairy, so he made everyone quiet in an instant.

Pu Shougeng was full of energy, stepped forward and said: "Distinguished guests, friends, good afternoon, welcome to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Chinese Red Cross, you may ask, what is the Red Cross, Pu is here to tell you, the Red Cross is currently the only organized non-governmental charity in our dynasty, you must know that in the event of a disaster, there will be many temples out of the porridge, this is a kind of charity, the Red Cross is more comprehensive, systematic, its purpose is to carry forward the spirit of humanity, fraternity, dedication, To help the people in need of help in our court, and to improve the health and living standards of the people in our court, in short, is to cooperate with the imperial court, try to make my people have books to read, sick to see, food to eat, not just in the event of a disaster to come out for disaster relief, everyone, I Pu Shou Geng has been in business all my life, to this age to understand that the highest state of businessmen is to take from the people, for the people, therefore, I and a few like-minded friends opened this charity. ”

Pu Shougeng said this, pointed to Xiao Tian and Fang Ling on the side and introduced: "This is Xiao Tian Xiao Gongzi, the shopkeeper of Shifeng Commercial Bank, that is, Shifeng Commercial Bank is famous for monosodium glutamate, magnifying glass and other items, and the other girl who looks like a fairy is the owner of Chengwei Dart Bureau, Miss Fang Lingfang, these two are Pu's collaborators and vice presidents of my Chinese Red Cross Society." ”

Xiao Tian, Fang Ling stepped forward slightly and nodded slightly to the people below to show respect,

Pu Shougeng continued: "First of all, I announce that the Red Cross has completed discussions with the Lin'an government to open a free hope primary school in Changhua Village, the most remote and poorest mountain village in Lin'an, and a medical center in Banqiao Town that is free to sit in the hall for medical treatment, and use this as a pilot to gradually promote to the whole country. It is a manifestation of my Buddha's compassion, and it is also a true portrayal of Taoism's compassion and compassion, here, I promise the whole world, the rest of my life will be handed over to my court's charity, finally, Pu said one more point, that is, the financial details of the Red Cross will be regularly published on the wall in front of my Red Cross, donors are welcome, and all people in the world are welcome to supervise, if there is fraud in the Red Cross, more welcome to Lin'an Mansion according to law, my words are over, thank you. ”

With the applause, Fang Ling stepped forward and continued: "Next, I would like to invite the guest representative, Lord Qian, the prefect of Lin'an, to give a speech. ”

The unspoken friend smiled: "Everyone, when the first time I heard about it, I was surprised, I didn't expect that I have such a mindful person, the dive has been poor since childhood, and knows that it is not easy for the children of poor families to study, and now the dive represents the people of Lin'an, and also represents all the poor people in the world, thank you to the Red Cross for giving such an opportunity, so that all the children can see the hope of reading, at the same time, as the parent official of Lin'an Mansion, I also said to you that Lin'an Mansion will try its best to assist the Red Cross's good deeds, It will also be honest and honest in the government, act in accordance with the law, and increase investment in matters closely related to the people, so that all Lin'an people are proud to live in Lin'an. ”

Seeing that the subtext friend finished speaking, Fang Ling stepped forward and said: "Everyone, the following is the ribbon-cutting ceremony, ribbon cutting, unveiling, and cannon release, I am invited to the president of Lin'an University, a scholar of Duanming Palace, and the highly respected Lord He Jihe." ”

He Ji has white hair and beard, but he is also in good spirits: "Everyone, the old man is very honored to cut the ribbon for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Chinese Red Cross, this may be the most meaningful unveiling ceremony that the old man has participated in in his life, as Lord Qian said, I have such a compassionate person, the old man is also deeply sympathetic, and from the bottom of his heart thanks to the Red Cross, with a good head, the old man hopes that people with good intentions in my dynasty can participate in it, and contribute their meager strength to the glorious tomorrow of my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Fang Ling handed He Ji a brand new pair of scissors wrapped in red cloth and said, "Cut the ribbon." ”

The bouquet on the side held two clusters of flowers, and the two colorists immediately unfolded and straightened the red ribbon, He Ji concentrated, held scissors in his right hand, and cut the red ribbon with a solemn expression.

"Fire." As soon as Fang Ling's words fell, the sound of firecrackers sounded at the right time, and He Ji happily completed the ribbon-cutting process, just when everyone thought that the ribbon-cutting ceremony was over, they heard Fang Ling say loudly: "Unveiled." Immediately, Fang Ling easily and elegantly jumped on the horizontal plaque in front of the gate, and before everyone could react, Fang Ling had already removed the red cloth covering it, revealing six golden characters on the horizontal plaque, Chinese Red Cross,

"Okay, okay." I don't know who shouted first, and I don't know if I was applauding Fang Ling's skills, or applauding for the horizontal plaque, in short, a louder applause sounded in an instant, and even the onlookers couldn't help but applaud.

Fang Ling smiled after landing on the ground and said: "Friends, this is the end of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, we know that many friends from the newspaper are here today, and the following time will be reserved for these friends, if you have any questions here, this link is called answering reporters' questions." ”

I laughed to myself, "I don't know if anyone in the newspaper knows the meaning of the word reporter." ”

didn't wait for the person in the newspaper to ask questions, but Zheng Huchen got up and said first: "President Pu, Zheng is willing to donate 100,000 copper coins, I don't know if it's possible." ”
