Chapter 229: Worrying about the country and forgetting home, donating money to help the needy
Song Beibei just felt that Hangcheng and Qingxian were not far away, and if they missed each other, they would arrive in one day.
But it's understandable when you think about it...... Children are more sensitive.
When she was young, she cried in the high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination, which was really reluctant to get along with teachers and classmates for a long time.
After eating, Song Beibei immediately went to comfort Qin Shaoyu and told him not to be sad, if he missed them, he could come back to see them, but it was only a day's journey.
But these comforts were so pale and powerless in Qin Shaoyu's heart.
Song Beibei had no choice, he couldn't ask him to go back and persuade his father not to be promoted.
I can only hope that he has figured it out for himself.
After school that day, Song Beibei returned home and saw her mother with a happy face.
Lin Liao also saw that his daughter and niece were back, and hurriedly beckoned: "Zhiyue, Beibei, come over quickly." ”
The sisters hurriedly walked over, and Song Beibei asked, "Mother, did anything good happen today?" Why are you so happy? ”
"Beibei, didn't you say that the government would build a merit monument in order to let the rich businessmen here in Qingxian County donate money? Now the imperial court has really given a merit tablet! Long live the Lord! ”
Song Beibei was pleasantly surprised: "Really? ”
What she originally thought was that Lord Qin would take the lead in carving a stone tablet to commend them and give these wealthy businessmen some reputation.
I didn't expect the imperial court to attach importance to them, and the emperor directly rewarded them!
Then this feels different, it used to be just a county-level honor, but now it has become a national-level honor!
Lin Liao said again: "And the imperial court not only praised the rich businessmen on the merit tablet, but also gave a line of words from the court, which was engraved on the merit tablet: 'Worry about the country and forget your home, donate money to help the poor'." What a great honor! ”
Zhao Zhiyue also interjected: "When I was studying, my husband always told us about agriculture and commerce, and said that the lowest position in our Dayong is a businessman, but I didn't expect the imperial court to attach so much importance to businessmen." ”
Song Beibei also nodded with a smile next to him.
In fact, businessmen are responsible for most of Dayong's taxes, so they will not be discriminated against, but they are indeed not taken seriously, and if they are rich to a certain extent, they will be suppressed.
Their Song family should have borne the brunt of it, but not only that, but now the emperor is so generous to encourage them and commend them.
This approach is like a traverser.
"And that's not all! Long live Lord also promised that all the wealthy businessmen who donated money this time could reduce their taxes by 30% within three years! ”
It was even tax-free!
Song Beibei thinks that this emperor is good, he seems to be a traverser, so open-minded and tolerant, not like a feudal centralized emperor at all.
"Many businessmen in Qingxian County learned that this was our Song family's idea, and they all came to thank them one after another."
Lin Liao looked at Song Beibei with satisfaction, "This donation, our Song family took the lead in doing this, and the weight in the eyes of Qingxian businessmen was suddenly different, and they all promised that when your father went to Hangzhou to run for president of the Chamber of Commerce this year, he would definitely vote for your father!" ”
Song Beibei is also very happy, it doesn't matter to her whether her father is the president of the Chamber of Commerce or not.
The important thing is that when their Song family took the lead in donating, when they put the first place in the merit monument, the Song family put a lot of people together, and many people didn't say anything on the surface, and they must be blaming the Song family behind their backs.
It's good now! The imperial court exempted them from paying three layers of taxes for three years, and they saved back the money they donated at once, and they lost nothing and gained a reputation in vain.
Zhao Zhiyue asked tentatively: "If my uncle can be elected as the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Hangzhou, then will we also move to Hangzhou?" ”
Lin Liao said: "Actually, it's not necessary, the Chamber of Commerce doesn't have things every day, and there is not much difference between living in Hangzhou and Qingxian." ”
Zhao Zhiyue's expression was visibly lost with the naked eye.
But in the next moment, Lin Liao said again: "But I heard that Lord Qin is also going to be transferred to Hangzhou, I think that our Song family is also building a separate courtyard in Hangzhou, and we can continue to communicate with the Qin family in the future." ”
Zhao Zhiyue's role lit up again.
She and Song Beibei looked at each other and smiled, great!
Lin Liao talked to them for a long time, only then did he realize that the little sisters' bookboxes had not been put down, and hurriedly said to them: "You go and put down your things, and eat later." ”
Song Beibei and Zhao Zhiyue went to the backyard together.
As soon as he left Lin Liao's sight, Song Beibei immediately grabbed Zhao Zhiyue's arm and said with a smile: "Cousin, you don't have to worry about it now, we can study with Shaoyu again." ”
Zhao Zhiyue's face was slightly red: "Let's go talk to him tomorrow." ”
Song Beibei nodded his head: "Mmmm!" ”
The sisters went back to their own yards.
Zhao Zhiyue couldn't hide her happiness, and Wang's mother, who was watering the flowers in the room, saw it and came up with a smile.
She couldn't speak, but Zhao Zhiyue had lived with her for so many years, and she knew what she wanted to ask, so she took the initiative to answer: "Mother Wang, we may have to move to Hangzhou!" ”
"Today, Qin Shaoyu told me that his father was going to Hangzhou to be the prefect, and I was still uncomfortable all afternoon, thinking that I would still be separated from him like this?"
"As a result, as soon as I came back in the evening, my aunt told me that because my uncle was going to Hangzhou to serve as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the Song family would also build a garden in Hangzhou, and it would also be built next door to Lord Qin's house, and be neighbors with them!"
Wang's mother smiled lightly.
Zhao Zhiyue noticed the change in her face and wondered, "What's wrong?" Is there anything bad about it? ”
Wang Ma had a lot of calculations in her heart, but she couldn't say anything.
She thought about it, turned around and took the notebook. This book was also written by Song Yuan, the second young man of the Song family, called "Princess Huanzhu".
It is about a princess who lives in exile and a little gangster girl who becomes a sister, and when she learns that the emperor is going to hunt in the royal hunting ground recently, the gangster girl volunteers to go to the hunting ground to send a token for her.
Unexpectedly, the thugs were mistaken for princesses, and the thugs didn't explain.
Zhao Zhiyue only finished reading this book yesterday, and asked puzzledly, "Why are you showing me this?" ”
Wang Ma flipped to one of the pages and pointed to a sentence to show her: "Whenever you take the lead, you will win half of the victory." ”
Zhao Zhiyue seemed to understand: "Do you want me to take the lead?" I have something to occupy, Beibei said that he wouldn't rob me. ”
Wang Ma pursed her lips, shook her head, and pointed to the name of the female hooligan in the book, telling her to understand it carefully.
Zhao Zhiyue took a closer look and understood what she meant.
This female gangster didn't actually want to compete with the princess for a position, but she ended up replacing the princess for a while.
If she benchmarks herself against this gangster and wants to get something that she shouldn't have got, then she has to ...... It's okay to have a head start. can't follow Song Beibei's ass in everything.
Just watching, the subordinates in Lin Liao's courtyard came over and called her to eat.
Zhao Zhiyue put down the book and replied: "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't eat it." ”
The man said hello and left.
Then, Zhao Zhiyue also stood up and said, "Mother Wang, you are right, I should indeed seize the opportunity." I'll go to Shaoyu right now and tell him the good news! ”
