Chapter 105: Help Anyang City
Qin Xue'er also opened her mouth at this moment: "I will donate another three hundred taels of silver." ”
Li Susu immediately said that Qin Xue'er had donated two hundred taels of silver before, and adding these three hundred taels was five hundred taels of silver.
Princess Duan was not stingy, and when she came, King Duan told her that she must donate more, so she generously took three hundred taels of silver, and Li Susu took one hundred taels of silver.
Just when the lady below was discussing, a father-in-law suddenly came in, and those who knew the father-in-law were surprised, after all, this was a big celebrity around the queen.
Li Susu was a little puzzled: "Father-in-law Gui, what are you talking about?" ”
Gonggong Gui took out a stack of silver tickets from his cuffs and put it in Li Susu's hand and said: "This is sent by the queen mother to the miscellaneous family, and the mother can't leave the palace, but she knows about the charity association, and the emperor also said that the charity association is very good and sympathetic to the people." ”
Li Susu naturally understood what the queen meant, in fact, she specially entered the palace to meet the queen and told her about it.
The queen also thinks this is very good, there are many places in the court that can't be considered, and there are catastrophic years and plagues, and the people below can organize to help people, which is also for the court to share worries, and it is a blessing for the people.
Gonggong Gui gave the silver ticket and left, but Li Susu counted the silver ticket with a smile and said, "The queen mother donated two thousand taels of silver." ”
In an instant, the people below were in an uproar, and the queen mother all expressed their attitude, if they didn't donate money, they would be a little unreasonable, and they might have a reputation for picking doors.
So more people stood up to donate money, and Lin Qingdai looked happy in her heart.
Concubine De asked in a low voice, "The first thing you want to do is to help those people?" ”
Lin Qingdai said without thinking about it: "Anyang City, after the plague, ten rooms and nine emptiness, and after the catastrophe in other places, many people were displaced, so I thought, it is better to let the displaced people go to Anyang City, now that the plague is gone, if we can come up with the money to let them settle down and spend the first year, Anyang City can also recover faster, I have been to Anyang City, the fields over there are very good, not to mention fertile, and irrigation is also convenient." ”
Although Duanwang returned to Ningyang City, he also had to go to Anyang City from time to time to supervise, it was really that too many people died in Anyang City, even if someone was willing to go to Anyang City to settle down, there was a little bit of spare energy, after all, it was difficult to survive without a harvest in the first year, not to mention that it was going to be winter.
And it takes silver to build houses and eat, and if they can come up with this money, they can revive Anyang City for a while.
Concubine De's eyes lit up and said, "This plan is good, have you told King Duan?" ”
Lin Qingdai shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I haven't said it yet, I'm not sure how much silver I can donate, I plan to wait until the fundraising is over." ”
The plan of Anyang City is not simple, the silver required is not simple, how much is needed, how far can she go, she has to ask King Duan, no one knows the situation of Anyang City better than King Duan.
Concubine De appreciated: "It seems that you have a plan, and I feel at ease when I hear you say this, and do things well." ”
The people who came all donated money, no matter how much, there were a few taels of silver, there were hundreds of taels of silver, and when everyone dispersed, when the accounts were settled, there were more than 10,000 taels of silver, and no one expected such a result.
Lin Qingdai saw that the three of them were so happy, and said happily: "Wait a minute, we will post a notice and go out, we accept donations from everyone." ”
Qin Xue'er was worried: "Will anyone donate money in this way?" ”
Lin Qingdai hooked the corners of her lips, thinking of those businessmen, she was very sure: "Someone will definitely donate money, Princess Duan doesn't know if King Duan is in the house?" ”
I am not very familiar with Princess Duan, but Princess Duan feels very good about her, she has no shelf, and she is kind.
Princess Duan said curiously: "Are you going to discuss something with the prince?" ”
Lin Qingdai didn't hide it, and after telling her plan again, Princess Duan was the first to stand up and agree.
Princess Duan said: "I heard a lot of things about Anyang City, and I know that the people over there are very miserable, if I can help them, I am very happy, you go back to the palace with me, and the rest will be done according to what you say, let's post a notice out, does this list need to be announced?" ”
Lin Qingdai shook her head and said: "It's good to announce the notice outside the door for the time being, but you can find someone to publicize it, and just say that the queen has also donated money." ”
She wants those rich people to know that the charity association is not an anonymous organization, but a non-governmental organization recognized by even the emperor and queen, and the managers are also people with heads and faces, and more importantly, they are fair and transparent.
Li Susu and Qin Xue'er stayed to make the next arrangements, and Lin Qingdai went to Duanwang's Mansion with Princess Duan.
After getting off the carriage, she realized that Duanwang's Mansion and Liwang's Mansion were not too far away, just two streets.
followed Princess Duan to King Duan's study, and King Duan received her very warmly.
It's just that Lin Qingdai looked at King Duan's haggard appearance, frowned and asked, "Is it the matter of Anyang City that makes the prince embarrassed?" ”
Princess Duan did not leave, but sat down on the side.
King Duan glanced at the pile of letters piled up on the table, rubbed his forehead and said, "You really guessed correctly, the emperor handed over Anyang City to me to manage, it is really a big problem, Doctor Lin, is there something wrong with you coming over?" Do you need my help? ”
After all, he had just raised donations, and he was worried that Lin Qingdai would encounter some trouble.
He was happy to help Lin Qingdai, not only because Qin Jingtian explained to him when he left, but most importantly, he knew that Lin Qingdai was a person with real skills.
Lin Qingdai glanced at Princess Duan, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Princess, why don't you come?"
Princess Duan smiled: "Okay, if you want to give me the credit, then I'm welcome." ”
So Princess Duan told Lin Qingdai's plan again, and said with admiration: "When you asked me to go before, I thought it was a small fight, but now I know, or you have a vision." ”
She didn't shy away from Lin Qingdai, but said it calmly, mainly because she felt that she recognized Lin Qingdai from the bottom of her heart, and she shouldn't be careful behind her back.
King Duan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, and said with a happy face: "Doctor Lin, you have helped me a lot, you don't know how anxious I am for the sake of the victims." "He is now mainly resettled by the victims, but there are too few people willing to settle down in Anyang City, not only in the city, but also outside the city, and many villages are empty.
After all, he had just encountered a plague and died so many people, and it was understandable that everyone was afraid and avoided, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious.
The imperial court took silver for disaster relief, and took so much silver to support the front line, plus the plague behind, silver was needed everywhere, the treasury was empty, and the emperor and he could not do anything.
So he can only keep dry, approaching spring ploughing day by day, not to mention sentimentality in his heart.
