Chapter 77: Donors of money scramble to be the first
On this day, the door of Zhaojue Temple set up a platform, behind it is a red background and black letters written for the soldiers and the people to send warmth to the title, around there are also a few small slogans, what 'send warmth in winter, warm the hearts of soldiers', what 'send warmth in winter, care and warm people's hearts', etc., literate people chant loudly, the people talk about it, and some people laugh after understanding the meaning: "I am also the boss's surname, I am also difficult, I also need someone to send me warmth." ”
Someone next to him quipped, "This matter can only be found by your daughter-in-law." ”
"Hahahaha~~~"
Everyone laughed, Yan Huailin came to the stage and said it freely, and when he talked about the Yan family's experience of doing business abroad, he said loudly with emotion, "It's not easy for soldiers, the border is barren, the conditions are bad, it's the teenage boys whose hands and feet are full of frostbite, their mouths are cracked, and they are standing guard in the cold wind with blood beads in their mouths, and it makes people's hearts feel very sour." ”
"If a boy of seventeen or eighteen is by his parents' side, how can he suffer such a sin? I'm still a kid. ”
"But what can be done, the border can't be left unguarded, without them bleeding and suffering there, where did we come from here to laugh and shop?"
The laughter under the stage was gone, and their faces were solemn, because many of them's sons and brothers were in the army, and they knew that life in the army was hard.
Yan Huailin pinched his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Whose son, whose husband, whose father are they?" ”
"We are soft-spoken, our strength is meager, but we can still do something for them, even if it is to let them drink an extra bowl of hot porridge in winter, this stomach is warm, the body is warm, and the heart is warm"
"Let them know that they are bleeding, sweating and even dying, but the people they protect and care for are also concerned about them."
"This time, we also took advantage of this opportunity, with the support of King Yong'an, we held this warmth event, and the prince promised that every copper plate raised would be used by the people and soldiers!"
His eyes were sharp, and when he saw the flower steward, he shouted loudly as soon as his heart moved: "The steward of the palace is here, let him say a few words to us." ”
Everyone turned their heads one after another, and the flower steward who came to donate money was a little confused, Yan Huailin got off the stage and pulled him to whisper a few words, and when he learned that he wanted to come to the stage to say a few words on behalf of the prince, he immediately pulled the clothes on his body, and walked on the stage with a smile, but he didn't sprinkle a lot of money, but just reiterated that every donation from the people would be used in the army and used on the people in need, and at the same time took out the bills.
"Everyone knows that the princess of my palace is the only daughter of the lord of Huaixiang County, the lord of Huaixiang County has great righteousness, not only for the benefit of the people but also several times to help the court and foreign enemies to fight, the princess inherited the mantle of the lord of Huaixiang County, learned of today's good deeds, raised 500,000 taels of silver from his dowry, and bought winter clothes for the soldiers to resist the cold, the princess said, may the soldiers no longer be afraid of the cold, may the south be a thousand autumns!"
As he spoke, he gave the bill to Yan Huailin, and someone on the side was in charge of registration, and soon 500,000 taels were registered.
"Good!"
"Sure enough, there must be a mother, there must be a daughter, I misunderstood the princess before."
"500,000 taels, how many cotton clothes can you make, my God."
Everyone talked about it, and Yan Huailin also donated 20,000 taels of silver on behalf of the Yan family, which also won a round of applause.
Soon Lord Liu sent the chief steward of the mansion, originally the Liu family's 600,000 taels were to be sent to the palace, Yan Mu'an asked them to go to Zhaojue Temple to report first, so that the people could know their good deeds, Lord Liu understood what she meant, and arranged for someone to come after returning to the house.
"When my family learned about this, I only hated that I couldn't carry a gun on a horse to defend my family and defend the country, and I could only do my best to accumulate for several generations of my family.
This is impassioned, but everyone wants to know how much the 'accumulation of several generations' is, when the steward reported a huge amount of 600,000 silver, everyone present gasped, the princess donated 500,000 taels and paved the way for the lord of Huaixiang, everyone knows that the lord of Huaixiang is a strange woman, and there is a lot of property under his hands, and there is only one woman, and they are not surprised that there is more silver.
"Lord Liu's righteousness!"
People who don't know really think that this is all the belongings of the Liu family, and they sighed again.
Yan Huailin is also very happy, if the fundraising activities run by their Yan family donate a lot of money, their faces will also shine.
Next, the merchants who got the news early under the stage began, "I donated 20,000 taels to add a bowl of porridge to the soldiers." ”
"I'll donate 30,000 taels to add a little meat foam to the porridge."
"I, I donate 50,000 taels to invite the soldiers to drink wine and warm up their bodies."
Seeing that these merchants were babbling about to make up a table of delicacies for the soldiers, the people around them laughed, and they felt that this feeling was very good.
The Yan family had already arranged for the nursery to be in the crowd, and the nursery took out two copper plates and put them in the donation box, and there were people next to him who carefully recorded his name, saying that there was a prayer meeting in Zhaojue Temple on the New Year's Festival, and the names of all the donors would be sent up to worship, "Good people have good rewards, this is also a matter of doing good deeds." ”
'Nursery' was flattered, carefully said his name, and then left happily, this time everyone came back to their senses from hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, eliminated the tension in their hearts, it turned out that one or two cents can also be donated, so they are not afraid.
An old lady carrying a bag of snacks said that she would donate 20 yuan, "I have little money, but if everyone donates a little, it will be more, maybe my youngest son in the army can still have two grains of rice in the porridge I donated." ”
The man next to him said, "Then I will donate 50 wen, and I originally said that I would cut two catties of meat, but now I don't eat it, I changed the food for the soldiers to eat, and my brother is also in the army, maybe he can also eat the rice I donated." ”
There are more and more people who are willing to donate, fortunately, the Yan family has made sufficient preparations, the tables in the temple are raised out and placed in a row, and the donors are registered one by one, even the big monk in the temple is sitting in it to help register, and when he sees someone put down the copper plate, he wants to run, and the big monk called people back, "Even if it is a penny, it must be recorded in the book, and when it is over, it must be counted in full to ensure that every copper plate goes to the place where it should go." ”
The man who was going to run was a little embarrassed, and felt that he had to register for a little donation, he was embarrassed, and he was in awe when he heard the big monk say this, Yan Huailin's suddenly loud voice, "Please be sure to leave your name, one is to pray for blessings, and when the time comes, we will draw ten people to send supplies to the barracks, maybe there will be you." ”
This is the honor, the donors were in an uproar, and learned that no matter how much they donated, as long as they won the lottery, they could go, and the men were excited, and some people laughed: "When I get old, I will tell my grandson that my grandfather was also the one who sent supplies to the soldiers on behalf of the people, hahahahaha~"
"Then your grandson may hear from the age of three to the age of thirty, hahahaha~~~"
