"I also brought a lot of old clothes with me when I came to Shengjing this time, but when I arrived in Shengjing, Uncle Zhu prepared a lot for me, and now I can't wear out the new clothes, so I will donate the old clothes."

Li Yuning also said.

There are also Li Xiaolan, Li Xia, and even the young Li Xiaorui spoke loudly and asked Zheng Qianqian to donate the clothes he didn't like.

So after the meal, the whole family began to pack up the old clothes and bedding.

Tao Zhu cleaned up a lot, he and Li Qiao have a lot of clothes, their husband likes to play a little fun with makeup and dressing in private, and they have saved a lot of old clothes over the years.

There are also two little cubs, and as they grow up one year after another, they can't wear their old clothes.

These should be donated, and the children of poor families need these clothes.

The next day, Sheng Hong announced the establishment of a good hall in the imperial court.

He stressed two points, one is voluntary.

Although he wanted to call on the rich people in Shengjing City to lend a helping hand, Li Qiao said that the situation this year is unknown, and it is not too late to call for the poor people when the weather is too cold to hold on.

So he only emphasized voluntariness, the big guys can donate if they want to, and don't donate if they don't want to, and he won't have any opinion about the hundred officials because of this matter.

Second, if you donate, then don't question the whereabouts of the money, materials, and food.

Of course, the expenses of the church are announced every month so that the public can know about it.

However, after the benevolent church announced the expenses, the donor of money and materials should not question anything, and should fully trust the benevolent hall and not say some that the charity hall swallowed privately.

This second hegemonic clause is Li Qiaojia's.

Tao Zhu, as the deputy head of Shantang, was afraid that someone would donate some money and force Tao Zhu to block it, so he set such a rule.

Love don't donate.

But once you donate, follow his rules.

The matter of Shantang did not cause much turmoil in the court, and many officials automatically ignored the matter.

Sheng Hong emphasized that it was voluntary, and there was a speechless clause, whoever likes to donate will donate, anyway, they don't want to donate the silver and can't find out where the silver goes.

They can't stand it.

But there were also people who responded positively.

The Seventh Prince, Xu Ying, Zhuang Wen, Meng Yue, Xin Zhi, as well as the Sixth Prince, the Fourth Prince, several scholars, and some petty officials who have a good relationship with Li Qiao or want to befriend Li Qiao, after the preparation of the Shantang, quietly ordered people to send the things they had donated.

and some who donate money.

There are also people who donate clothes, food, and herbs.

There are also people who donate other things, such as beds, dishes, iron pots, and so on.

These things were all available, so Tao Zhu and the head of the Shan Tang took them all.

As usual last time, Li Qiao deliberately took three days off to accompany Tao Zhu to familiarize herself with the business and rules of Shantang.

The head of Shantang is a seven-grade petty official in the rice and silver department, and was transferred by Sheng Hong, this petty official's surname is Sun, and he is very respectful to Li Qiao and Tao Zhu.

Li Qiao, Tao Zhu and Sun Daren took more than 20 new recruits from Shantang to count for three days but failed to complete the inventory of the first batch of charity materials, three days later, Li Qiao went to work, Tao Zhu and others continued to count.

After another five days of hard work, the count was finished.

After the counting, Tao Zhu and Master Sun announced this batch of charity materials, and the specific list was posted at the door of Shantang and several shops of the Li family.

Only then did the general public know that Shengjing had opened a new good hall.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the matter of donation is the return of the squire, the people's three or seven accounts, who donates who is stupid.

However, is this good hall actually Tao Zhu as the deputy director?

Li Qiao's reputation is still very good, and now Tao Zhu is in charge of the expenditure of Shantang's silver money and materials, and Li Qiao also donates silver and food to it every month, which is ......

Whatever, whatever, as long as he donates, he will brush his face in front of Tao Zhu, and this alone is worth it.

Li Qiao, the adult, is too difficult to please and stammer, and wants to give gifts to Loei during the New Year's holidays, no matter if it is cheap and valuable, Loei will not accept it.

Since Loei doesn't accept it, then simply send it to Shantang, anyway, the purpose is the same:

Brush up on the sense of existence in front of Lord Li, and if you encounter something in the future, you can ask for help.

Contribute!

As a result, the second wave of donations was ushered in.

This time, most of the shots were businessmen.

The merchants had money, and the donated money and materials filled the warehouse of Shantang at once.

At this time, it was already winter, at the end of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, the weather was very cold, and a heavy snow fell, and the materials of Shantang immediately came in handy.

Chapter 197 Li Qiao only accounts for half of the plot, distributing cotton clothes and opening the school to train barefoot doctors

In fact, although the snow was heavy, it did not reach the level of disaster.

But the weather is just cold, very cold.

For example, Li Qiao, if he doesn't use his ability to protect his body, then he has worn a close-fitting jacket inside and a thicker leather jacket outside, and finally wrapped in a cape, and then it's over.

When they arrived at the house, because there was a charcoal basin in the house, they took off their cloaks and wore only a leather jacket, which was enough to survive the winter.

Man, there is a lot of firepower in his body.

But this year, the outfit turned out to be a little cold.

He has a small office, and he is not short of money, and he has put an extra charcoal basin out of his own pocket, but he doesn't wear a cloak or use his abilities, and he can't bear the current temperature.

He can't resist today's low temperature even as a young and middle-aged man, let alone the old and weak women and children, so even if the three princes issued cold clothes during the snow disaster in Shengjing two years ago, the poor people at the bottom still lack winter clothes.

For example, Zhang Laosan.

His family is not the poorest in Shengjing, although he shares a small yard with others, but at least he has his own small home, plus he now has a formal job, so he can have a full meal, and the family also has a little savings.

However, the cotton clothes for the winter are big things, which can be described as three years of new and three years of sewing and mending for the old three years, and they are always reluctant to buy new ones.

But that's no longer the case.

He is a regular employee of the plaster workshop, and he also got Li Qiao's promise that if he doesn't want to work in the plaster workshop, he can go to the Li family's shop, so before winter, he discussed with his husband to add a new cotton jacket to his family this year.

No way, it's too cold, if you don't add cotton clothes, you will definitely not survive this winter.

Brother Zhang Sanfu Langyue is very good at living, although he said that he wanted to buy cotton clothes for his family, he did not plan to buy new cotton cloth.

Just buy some defective cotton cloth, there are many places to spend money at home, and he also sent him and Zhang Laosan's youngest son to study in a private school, just like Liu Sanwa.

After reading and reading, they are not blind like their husbands, so when they go to Li's shop to apply for a job, they will definitely be more important than those who are illiterate.

But it costs a lot of money to study, even if Zhang Laosan has a fixed income, he has to be careful with his calculations.

So buy some defective cotton cloth, this kind of defective cotton cloth, dyeing shops, cloth houses are sold, the price is lower than the new cotton cloth.

It's just that before Brother Yue could shop around to choose the most affordable cotton, the weather suddenly became cold.

Zhang Laosan must be dressed warm enough to go to work, otherwise he will delay his work and waste money to buy medicine if he is infected with the cold.

So on this day, when Zhang Laosan went to work, he wore Brother Yue'er's padded jacket away, and Brother Yue had no padded jacket, so he could only stay on the kang and wrap the quilt to keep out the cold.

But there are a lot of things in the family, their eldest son Zhang Chong went to the pharmacy as an apprentice, and the younger son went to a private school, and the work in the family fell on Brother Yue'er.

He has raised dozens of chickens, which he has to feed three times a day, and these chickens have been raised for a year, and he plans to sell them to the Li family fried chicken shop during the Chinese New Year, so as to exchange some money for a good New Year.

But now he doesn't have a padded jacket, so he can't get off the kang at all.

That's not going to work.

After thinking about it, Brother Yue was going to go next door to borrow a padded jacket, so that he could go to the dyeing workshop to buy back the defective fabric that he liked but didn't buy two days ago.

Brother Yue wrapped himself in a futon and got off the kang, and as soon as he got out of the house, the courtyard door was pushed open.

When he heard the sound, he turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Laosan and Liu Fu who were back.

Moreover, both of them were holding a large package in their hands.

"What are you?"

Brother Yue was surprised, and her eyes looked straight at the big package in Zhang Laosan's hand: "Master, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

"Cotton clothes!"

Zhang Laosan said loudly: "As soon as Brother Fu and I walked to the city gate, we saw a bunch of people around the city gate looking at the notice. Anyone in the poor family can receive it! ”

"Brother Fu and I ran to Shantang with our legs, and after queuing for a while, we really led it."

"Look, there are two padded jackets here, one is a satin jacket and the other is a cotton robe, both of which are eighty percent new, but they are beautiful."

With Zhang Laosan's words, the large package in his hand was opened, and the satin jacket and cotton robe made of cotton inside were revealed.

Brother Yue was pleasantly surprised, hugged the futon on his body, and trotted to Zhang Laosan.

At this time, Liu Fu was already anxiously taking his package and walking towards his house: "Brother Yue, I will send the cotton clothes I received to Sister Mei, you and your Sister Mei take a look slowly, I and the third child still have to go to work, and we have wasted half a day today." ”

"Hey, good!"

Brother Yue answered, his eyes were on the blue satin jacket, and he couldn't take it off.

This small jacket is placket, and it is also embroidered with exquisite dark lines, if this kind of small jacket is placed in the cloth village, it will cost three or four taels of silver to buy it.

"Brother Yue, this little jacket is for you, this cotton robe can be changed, you can make a small jacket for each of the two children."

Zhang Laosan stuffed two cotton clothes into his husband's hands, and the smile on his face never went down.

"Brother Fu and I were originally a little weak-hearted, afraid that we wouldn't be able to receive it, after all, we both worked in the plaster workshop, but who knew that Deputy Chief Tao was standing at the door of Shantang, he saw our brothers at a glance, and then specially picked out these two cotton clothes."

"Ah, this is what Deputy Chief Tao personally picked?"

Brother Yue was shocked, holding the cotton clothes a little dumbfounded.

"Not really! He has always remembered me, and also remembered the situation of our family, and when he gave me cotton clothes, he also said that Xiao Chong had a future, and let Xiao Chong work hard and study hard. Deputy Chief Tao is so good! ”

Zhang Laosan was quite emotional.

He is such a small person, and it was only a year and a half ago that he went to the stucco workshop to apply for a job, but Tao Fulang clearly remembers the situation of his family!

What a good officer.
