When Zhao Feng heard Lu Ming say that Zhao Hanlin should be the guest secretary, he also showed anger and said, "Uncle Shi is right, why should he be the guest secretary of the Good Society? This is not fair!"

The others looked at each other, and they also didn't understand why Lu Ming would say that. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The reason is very simple, you Zhao family, I can't believe it!", Lu Ming said unceremoniously.

"Ridiculous! My Zhao family has also raised a lot of silver, even if you don't make me president, you have to give me the position of vice president!" Zhao Hanlin said.

"Suzhou Charity Association is a public organization, everything we do is for the people, not that whoever donates more money should be allowed to take up what profession, the two have nothing to do with it!"

"What's more, all the people in our government have already raised nearly one million taels in total, how much is your Zhao family raising donations from our government?"

"You ......", Zhao Hanlin wanted to speak and stopped.

"Zhao Hanlin, your Zhao family has raised donations from the Suzhou Charity Society, and we will write your names on the merit list, so that future generations will know the Zhao family's dedication to the people, as for the position of the Charity Society, your Zhao family has a bad reputation recently, so let's talk about it later." Lu Ming said.

"Hmph, Lu Maocai, why do you have to say it so high-soundingly? Don't think I don't know, your little plan in your heart!", Zhao Feng said.

Sun Hanlin immediately said: "Presumptuous! Zhao Gongzi, why do you want to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? With us, the government also wants to be greedy? Where do you put us? Are you a decoration for us!"

Li Hanlin also said: "We are all people with official positions, if Lord Zhou dares to embezzle public funds without permission, I will definitely ask the court to remove him!"

"What the two of them said is very true, the old man will also stand in the position of the people, wholeheartedly for the public, and never be impartial, although the Zhao family can rest assured, if something goes wrong, the loss will be counted on the old man's head!", Dong Hanlin said.

"You ......"

Zhao Hanlin saw everyone talking like this, his face was very ugly, so he had to say: "Okay, just according to what you say, Keqing will be Keqing!"

The three Hanlin spoke very fairly, but at the same time, they also had great trust in Zhou Dongyue, otherwise they would not have said such things.

Zhou Dongyue bowed his hand slightly to the three of them, and then said: "This official proposes that tomorrow immediately pull out three million taels of silver to buy food and send it to the disaster area in batches. ”

Dong Hanlin said: "Please rest assured, I have a friend who is the head of the dart board, and there are more than 100 people under his hands, all of whom are masters in the rivers and lakes. ”

Zhou Dongyue immediately rejoiced and said: "Then Lao Dong Hanlin will arrange this matter, for the sake of safety, our yamen will also send someone to escort it." ”

"Early tomorrow morning, we will announce the donations, and at the same time, we will continue to open the door to welcome donations from readers in Suzhou City. ”

"What Lord Zhou said is extremely true. Most of them spoke in unison.

Zhao Hanlin snorted coldly, a fierceness flashed on his face, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"This is the end of tonight's meeting, please go home early and rest, tomorrow's work may be even harder!", Zhou Dongyue said.

"I'll say goodbye!"

Everyone left one after another, and went back to their homes.

On the morning of the second day, a notice was posted at the entrance of the yamen, making all the money public, and many people gathered together to verify it in order to prevent corruption in the government.

After a long time, one of the people who had kept the accounts said: "Based on the above situation, there is not a single penny, not a penny, it seems that the government really remembers the accounts in great detail." ”

Only then did everyone feel relieved and raised donations one after another, more or less.

At the same time, hundreds of scholars and officials gathered in the yamen, led by three Hanlin from the dart bureau, who were introduced by Dong Hanlin.

Zhou Dongyue said to everyone: "You are divided into three groups, each of you will go to the nearby prefecture and county to buy food and clothing, and transport the materials to the three disaster places, you must be careful on the way, if there is any accident, you can use the Wenbao waist card to contact the local yamen." ”

Hanlin, who was standing at the front, said. "Please rest assured, Lord Zhou, I swear with courage that I will definitely complete the task you assigned to us, if there is any mistake, Xia is willing to take all the responsibility!"

"It's serious, and please be careful all the way, don't be careless. ”

"Yes!"

Xia Zhuhai clenched his fists, then turned to everyone and said: "We are divided into three roads, each with a million taels of silver, you listen to me, this money is not ours, but the suffering people of Suzhou!"

"Our trip is a righteous act, if anyone dares to touch the people's money, they will be severely punished according to the rules of the dart game!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone's hearts trembled, and the dart head assured in front of so many people that he was determined to complete this task.

Xia Zhuhai continued: "But as long as everyone can do this well, the people will be grateful to everyone, the scholars will respect everyone, and Lord Zhou will not treat everyone badly!"

Speaking of this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Another Hanlin said: "Please rest assured, Xia Dart, we will definitely live up to expectations!"

"Let's go!"

Xia Zhuhai gave an order, and everyone immediately divided into three roads and went to different prefectures and counties.

Lu Ming stood beside Zhou Dongyue and asked, "Are these people really reliable?"

"The person recommended by Dong Hanlin shouldn't be anything bad. ”

Zhou Dongyue said as he sat down at the desk and processed various documents.

Lu Ming sat down on the other side, entered the Wenbang through the official seal, and began to tour the information on it.

On Liang Guo's literary list, readers from all provinces are very concerned about the Suzhou Charity Association, and have been praised by countless people.

"The Suzhou Charity Association is a good organization, one side is in trouble, and all parties support, which can make our Liang people more united, and we should follow suit!"

"It is said that the organization of the Suzhou Charity Association was planned by Lu Maocai, which is indeed a whimsical idea, from now on, if the people in a certain place are in trouble, there is no need to wait for the imperial court to approve the disaster relief, the Suzhou Charity Association will send the materials over as soon as possible, which is very convenient. ”

"Take it from the people, use it for the people, these eight words contain the great wisdom of governing the country and the country, and they should be given a credit to Lu Maocai. ”

At the same time, there are also many people who ridicule, most of them are officials under Yan Kun's sect.

"The Suzhou Charity Association is just an organization that deceives the world and steals its name, ostensibly to raise funds for disaster relief, but in fact it makes huge profits from it, which is really hateful!"

"This is extremely true, I know Zhou Dongyue very well, one thing on the surface, another set behind his back, he will definitely embezzle people's money from it!"

"The Suzhou Charity Association will definitely close down in less than half a year, don't be fooled, otherwise you will regret it!"

Lu Ming can only be helpless about this, everyone's position is different, and their views are naturally different.

Two days later, the three roads of materials were successfully delivered to the three disaster areas, and the people cheered and wrote to express their gratitude to the Suzhou Charity Association.

At the same time, the officials and scholars on the literary list paid more attention to this matter, and most of them petitioned the imperial court to let the states follow the example of the Suzhou Charity Association.

At the same time, there are many scholars in Suzhou who voluntarily join the charity association to benefit the people, and their reputation is far and wide for a while.

At the Jinluan Palace, Liang Jun praised this, but did not immediately issue a holy decree for the states to follow suit, but sent some officials to the Suzhou Charity Association to understand on the grounds of inspection.

Subsequently, Liang Jun received another letter from the Holy Courtyard, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Xu Xiangguo asked, "May I ask your lordship, what happened?"

"There has been an accident in the Demon Suppression Tower of Demon World Mountain......

"What?", the hundred officials were shocked.

"Decree! Order the Great Confucian Hall of the Liang Kingdom to send people to the Great Wall of the Southern Border to support, there must be no mistake!"

"In addition, this matter must not be publicized to prevent the people's hearts from being in turmoil!"

"Obey!", the officials said in unison.

The Demon Mountain mentioned by Liang Jun is actually a valley enchantment leading to the Demon Realm, located outside the Great Wall on the southern border of the Terran Realm, where there is no one to live, and only the entrance and exit have a towering giant tower, called the Demon Suppression Tower.

Hundreds of years ago, the Demon Saint led the demon army to attack the human world through the Demon Realm Mountain, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, and the people were struggling at that time, and they felt that the sky was about to fall.

This incident made one of the sub-saints of the human race furious, and issued an order to treat death as home, leading the armies of all half-saints and human races to fight to the death against the demon army led by the demon saint.

After a bloody battle, the Demon Saint was unbearable to be besieged by the saints and fell, while the Demon Race was beaten back to the Demon Mountain by the Terrans.

However, this could not solve the long-term problem, so Yasheng turned the holy treasure into a giant tower to control the entrance, completely cutting off the passage between the human world and the demon world, and the world returned to peace.

But after this battle, Yasheng was also hit hard, and the deadline was approaching, so he used his own talent to set up a formation, and summoned the aura of heaven and earth to pour into the tower, so that the talent of the pagoda was transformed into pure Haoran righteousness, and the entrance of the Demon Mountain was suppressed to the death, and it still stood for hundreds of years.

After the fall of the sub-sage, the Holy House posthumously named him the 'Demon Suppression Saint', and its pagoda was named the 'Demon Suppression Pagoda', and sent the Great Confucian to guard the Great Wall, observing the situation at all times.

However, in recent years, the Demon Suppression Tower has begun to change, and occasionally shivering, although very slight, is enough for the Holy House to pay attention to.

At this time, there were seven great Confucians gathered here under the Demon Suppression Tower, they were from the Seven Kingdoms, and they were looking up at the giant tower, their faces were solemn.

With a "buzz", the Demon Suppression Tower shook without warning, and it was louder than the previous movements.

"There is not much left of the Haoran righteousness in the Demon Suppression Tower, we are only a great Confucian at present, and we have not cultivated the purest Haoran righteousness in heaven and earth, if we can't maintain the power of the Demon Suppression Tower, I'm afraid that in less than two years, we will be attacked by the demons!"

"Now, even if the cultivation of the seven of us is gathered together, at most it can only become an ordinary Haoran righteousness, and it is far from being able to provide enough power for the Demon Suppression Tower. ”

"No matter what, if we can hold on for one more day, we will immediately gather our talents and turn them into a wave of righteousness into the tower!"

"Good!" (To be continued.) )
