Chapter 103: Ci'an Hall

Recently, two of the most exciting events in Kyoto are the opening of Ji'an Hall, which cares for orphans and young children, and the charity sale. I heard that this matter was proposed by the "Little God of Wealth" Lu Weimang, Lord Lu, to play His Majesty. The "Little God of Wealth" believed that Daqian had the Qionglai Pass and several trade routes, and as a beneficiary, he should give charity to the people and give back to the people, so he proposed that Kyoto be the first place to hold a charity sale, and the funds raised were used for the opening of the Ci'an Church.

Another thing is still related to the "Little God of Wealth", that is, as the initiator of Ci'an Church, he was excluded, resulting in this great good name being taken away.

"Did you hear that? The identity of the host of the charity sale of Ci'an Tang was pushed off by Huo Hou, the fiancΓ© of the "Little God of Wealth"! ”

"Really? It shouldn't be. It is a great merit to open a Ci'an Hall to raise orphans, how could Huo Hou push it for the "Little God of Wealth" for no reason? Don't talk nonsense, Huo Hou is not a narrow-minded person. ”

"Where is my nonsense, isn't my third uncle and his nephew's second uncle ranked among the top five in the court? Early that day, His Majesty took out the excerpt of the "Little God of Wealth" to discuss with the court, and Huo Hou said that this Lord Lu Weimang Lu was not good at social travel and was not suitable to preside over this Ci'an Hall. Moreover, he said that Lord Lu was still young, and he was afraid that there would be a mistake in doing such a big thing, so he wanted to push off this errand for Lord Lu. ”

"Hey, if you care, it's chaotic, such a great merit, I heard that the imperial court will also set up a monument and engrave it, Huo Hou pushed it, this Lord Lu will definitely complain about Huo Hou."

"Don't Huo Hou worry that the name of the "Little God of Wealth" is too big, and the husband will be sluggish in the future, right? Ha ha... Why do you think of me like that? ”

"Do you think Huo Hou is you? is still sluggish, Huo Hou is our hero, no matter who has such a reputation for fame, he can't surpass Huo Hou's real achievements! ”

That's right. However, Huo Hou was also overly careful. However, who will preside over this Ci'an Hall? ”

"I heard it's Niu Guogong. The eldest son of the Niu family served as a supervisor at the Qionglai Pass, and several descendants of his family also opened up a trade route from Jingyang Erzhou to Qionglai. Moreover, Niu Guogong is highly respected, and he can also call on more people to participate, and the follow-up affairs of Ci'an Hall can also be better undertaken and operated. ”

"Although it's a pity, if the little God of Wealth is compared with Niu Guogong, it is indeed more suitable for Niu Guogong."

"Yes. After all, Huo Hou was dedicated to the court, pushed this errand for his fiancΓ©e, and chose a more suitable Niu Guogong. ”

"Hey, that's what I said, the little couple may not be able to quarrel in private. Can Lord Lu be so willing to give up the name of this initiative? Anyway, if it were me, I'd have to scratch his face! ”

"Do you think that the "little God of Wealth" is you? People are high and young, rather than on the cusp of the storm, it is better to give in to Niu Guogong. This time, Niu Guogong has to admit his feelings, is it more affordable than a false name? If you want to say that Huo Hou is far away, he will plan for his little fiancΓ©e. ”

…

In the market, there are endless debates about the charity sale and the initiators of the Ci'an Tang bazaar, at this time, if you stop on the street, you will hear the discussion in the streets and alleys, and if you step into a teahouse and restaurant, it is also about the name and profit. The world is bustling, all for fame and fortune. For a time, not only the people of Kyoto were keen on this matter, but also the businessmen and squires who were sensitive, all came to Kyoto.

"Lord Lu, do you have time here? Regarding the charity sale of Ci'an Hall in the future, the old man still has to ask Lord Lu's opinion on some things. ”

Niu Guogong, who has always been bold, suddenly appeared in Chunxi Hall, Lu Weimang hurriedly got up and saluted, "Guogong is serious, what is the matter with you, although it is so." In the next few days, there are no important errands, and I can cooperate with you at any time. ”

Huo Jing, who worked in the same room as Lu Weimang, also got up and gestured to Niu Guogong, who smiled in return.

"It's good to have free time. The excerpt you played to Your Majesty only gave a general idea, what do you think about the bazaar? ”

After Niu Guogong sat down, he directly asked about Lu Weimang's original plan, and Lu Weimang did not hide his secrets, and directly said his original plan.

"Xiaguan has inspected it in the early stage, and there is a ready-made house in the southern city of Kyoto, which can be used as the address of Ji'an Hall. All you need to do is pack up and invite some lonely widows to come and take care of the orphans. This plaque of Ci'an Hall can be asked to be written by His Majesty, and His Majesty will probably agree. ”

"As for the bazaar, you can invite a group of people privately in the name of the initiator to hold a bazaar. Originally, the lower officials wanted to invite some businessmen to make a relationship with them. Now that you are presiding, of course, you can expand the scope, you can make a batch of invitations, and invite some famous people in Kyoto, whether they are high-ranking dignitaries or wealthy businessmen, as long as they are known as charity in the past, you can invite them. The invitation card indicates that there is no need to donate money or materials, just bring a charitable object to be auctioned at the bazaar, and the proceeds of the auction will be donated to Tzu An Church in the name of the owner of the item. ”

Lu Weimang explained the operation mode of some charity dinners that were common in his previous life.

This is also the inspiration given to Lu Weimang by the shopkeeper of Zhucui Pavilion that day. Those two rubies, even if Lu Weimang paid the money, he felt hot in his hands, it was better to have a channel similar to the Charity Sale of Ci'an Tang to donate them, which not only dealt with the hot gems, but also did good deeds, killing two birds with one stone.

Now, no matter what the name is, no matter what outsiders say, his original plan can finally be realized.

"Niu Guogong, you must give Xia Guan an invitation card at that time, and there are two rare rubies in Xia Zhi's hand, and I want to donate them to Ci'an Tang. By the way, you can also register the items donated by the donor in advance and release the catalog, which is not only to publicize the donor's good name, but also to make people who are interested in these donations come to visit, killing two birds with one stone, do you say? ”

Niu Guogong smiled heartily, "Great, worthy of the "Little God of Wealth", it is a good strategy for fame and fortune as soon as he makes a move, which is much higher than those households in the court who have to count the slaves in other people's fields with account books. You said that they are also engaged in money, why do those people in the household department know to stare at their own people, and don't think about how to huo outsiders? ”

Niu Guogong was talking about His Majesty's recent plan to clear the world's acres of land, and this matter was too much to do, and Lu Weimang was inconvenient to express his opinions, so he only smirked and dealt with it.

Fortunately, Niu Guogong just complained a few words, not that Lu Weimang had to express his position, so after getting Lu Weimang's strategy, he simply greeted him and went back to make a plan.

Lu Weimang sent Niu Guogong away, wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and returned to the main hall.

"According to the method you just had, this is indeed a win-win situation and a good thing for fame and fortune. Are you going to blame me for pushing this out of your hands? ”

Huo Jing looked at Lu Weimang, who came back, and said.

Sometimes, people can not be profit-oriented, but they must inevitably care about reputation.

Now because of his unwarranted worries, let Lu Weimang give up such an opportunity, Huo Jing doesn't know whether it is right to do this, but if he is allowed to choose, on the one hand, it is a possible risk, and on the other hand, fame and fortune, he will still do it. Even with a 0.1 percent risk, it's not worth the risk.

Lu Weimang breathed an exaggerated sigh of relief, "Don't regret it, I originally had a simple idea, now think about it, it turns out that I need to deal with many people, and it is very complicated, but now His Majesty asked me to do it, and I have to push it out myself." Moreover, it is the grandfather of the country who has done this to have such a big momentum now, if I do it myself, people are small and weak, and it is estimated that I can only mobilize a few businessmen who are wronged, like some high-ranking families, so they will not take care of me! ”

Lu Weimang said it easily, and Huo Jing also knew Lu Weimang's temperament of being afraid of trouble, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "I won't send you back these days." The outside world has different opinions, so we will make an awkward appearance, which can also reduce the gaze and danger on you. Of course, the bazaar will definitely stir up Kyoto in the past few days, and the people are chaotic, so don't ride a horse to go down to the court these days, take a carriage, so I can rest assured. And the weather is not very hot these days, I have a soft armor, which can be worn on my body to protect the vital point, and I will go home after a while, and let Ding Yi send it to your home later. From tomorrow, you'll wear soft armor and go out in a carriage, okay? ”

Although he asked Lu Weimang what he thought, Huo Jing's expression was solemn, and Lu Weimang couldn't refuse.

"I see."

Lu Weimang nodded obediently.

"Well, remember to be obedient." Huo Jing pulled Lu Weimang to sit down, "I can't accompany you these days, I have to take advantage of the hustle and bustle of the charity sale to increase my efforts to force that spy into a corner, so that he thinks that this charity sale is the last chance to fish in the water, and force him to do it." Under the dual surveillance of me and His Majesty, as long as he does it, everything can be settled. ”

Huo Jing said, his eyes were far away, looking into the distance. Obviously, there are spies in the north of the court, and they are suspected of being important ministers in the court, this matter is like a boulder, pressing on the hearts of Huo Jing and His Majesty, and like a sharp sword, hanging above the head of the great cadres.

Think about it, if once a talented person in the DPRK and China comes out, he is assassinated by spies in an unexpected way, or if there is any disturbance in the DPRK and China, natural and man-made disasters, and the northern Xinjiang will immediately learn about it, and also know the response policy of the DPRK and China, and make targeted sabotage, how can the big cadres be stable? The DPRK and the Central Committee are unstable, and it is the entire people who suffer. If we do not find out the spies for a day, we will be constrained every day for the big cadres, and we will not be able to carry out drastic reform and development. As the days go on, the vigor of the great cadres will be consumed.

That's why His Majesty and Huo Jing will spare no effort to force ** to jump out. Even if it is at some cost, it will not hesitate.

"I'll protect myself." Lu Weimang assured.
