Today's second piece of news from "Datang Daily" completely mobilized people's enthusiasm for charity.
The original workshop of Qiquge was surrounded today. Since today is the first day of the establishment of the Nuantang Foundation, Queen Changsun, as the president of the foundation, of course has to come over.
Under the protection of the palace guards, Queen Changsun slowly walked into the Qiquge Workshop with a group of maids. This place had been cleaned up as early as yesterday! And now all the original materials and equipment in this workshop have been transferred to the new workshop in Plum Village!
Several companies that had a closer relationship with the Li family also came to help. For example, Mrs. Cheng from the Cheng family, Mrs. Yuchi from the Yuchi family, Mrs. Qin from the Qin family, etc. are basically the mothers of the family.
These noble ladies usually have nothing to do at home. It is rare for a charity foundation to appear in Chang'an City, and the person in charge of it is someone I know. This kind of foundation can not only help acquaintances, but also do good deeds, and the work is not complicated. How could they not come to work?
They all came as soon as they heard the news in the morning.
With them helping to direct and dispatch, Han Yuxi's burden suddenly became much lighter. So much so that when Queen Changsun came, everything that needed to be prepared in the workshop was already ready, and she was just waiting for people from outside to donate money!
"I've met the Queen!"
Empress Feng, the eldest grandson, came to visit, and Han Yuxi and a group of married ladies in the workshop all bowed.
Empress Changsun smiled and said gently and without any pretensions: "No need to be polite! Haha, it's so lively today, all the princes and ladies are here!"
Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "They are all idlers at home. I heard that Yu Xi has a job that can do good deeds and accumulate merit. We discussed it and came to help!"
Mrs. Cheng echoed: "Although I usually go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha, after hearing about the Nuantang Foundation, I still feel that this is more practical! From now on, I don't need to go to temples every now and then!"
Empress Changsun nodded and said: "Compared with the illusory merits of heaven, Nuantang Foundation's direct help to the people is visible and tangible, and it is indeed more real! I would like to thank several of the princes and ladies for coming today. Come help!”
"Mother, you're welcome! This is what we should do!"
Everyone was busy.
Queen Changsun smiled, then turned to Han Yuxi and said: "Yuxi, I usually have a lot of things to deal with in the palace. You will have to take care of many things here in the future! If you are not sure about anything, Just send someone to deliver a message to me!"
Han Yuxi was still a little cautious in front of Empress Changsun. After all, she didn’t get along much with her, and she was also the mother of a nation. When she heard this, she said happily: “Thank you, Empress!”
Empress Changsun came over and grabbed her hand, and said with a gentle smile: "You girl, I am now also the president of the Nuantang Foundation, and you are the vice president. In the words of their men, we can be regarded as colleagues, so why should you So reserved? Your Marquis Yong'an is not as honest as you in front of His Majesty and me, haha!"
Li Zexuan, who had just walked into the gate of Yanhuang Academy, sneezed inexplicably. He couldn't help but thought: It seems that the weather is indeed getting colder. The strength of my martial arts master is still a bit unbearable~!
In the original workshop of Qiquge Pavilion, when Han Yuxi heard what Empress Changsun said, most of the restraint in her heart suddenly disappeared. She smiled slightly and said: "What the empress said is that Yuxi is not experienced in the world, and I hope the empress will give you more guidance in the future!"
Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Speaking of experience, although Marquis Yong'an is young, he is like an old fox who has lived for an unknown number of years. At this point, why do you need to ask me for advice? Haha, okay, No kidding! From now on, this will be the headquarters of the Nuantang Foundation. If you, Yu Xi, are short of manpower, just tell me to let the people outside who are waiting to donate money come in now!"
Han Yuxi responded with a smile. To be honest, she was really short of manpower right now. If it weren't for the wives of the Cheng family, Yuchi family, Qin family, Niu family, and Li Jing family who brought people over to help today, she would not be able to do this right now. The grand occasion, with the people she brought from the Li family, was really too much to handle!
But it is definitely impossible for these duchess and wives to come to help every day. Now that Empress Changsun said these words, Han Yuxi felt a lot more at ease!
He ordered his servants to open the door of the workshop, and the people outside consciously lined up and began to donate money one by one. Small donations such as a few hundred coins or a few guan were basically counted in person. As for the donations of hundreds of guan, Large donations will be specially taken to another venue after encountering them, and will be counted on site by more than a dozen experienced warehouse clerks!
This is not done to be special, but to save the entire team’s queuing time!
"My master wants to donate 10,000 yuan, and the money is all in the car behind~! Could you please send someone to count it!"
As soon as the boy who was first in line spoke, he immediately made a splash. Han Yuxi, Queen Changsun, Mrs. Cheng, and Mrs. Qin who were standing in the corridor talking all turned their attention to this side!
Ten thousand guan, just looking at the number, might not impress all of them, but what does this 10,000 guan do? This is for charity, not for business! To put it bluntly, it’s a gift!
Except for people like Li Zexuan, who are extremely wealthy and have taken money lightly, there are probably not many people in the entire Tang Dynasty who are willing to give away 10,000 yuan for no reason!
"This little brother, may I ask who your master is?"
In the yard of the workshop, there were several tables set up today, and the people naturally lined up in several lines. The leader of the team that the boy who said he wanted to donate 10,000 yuan was none other than Wang Zhong, Lao Wang stared. , asked.
The boy was quite polite, so he cupped his hand and replied loudly: "Steward Wang, my father's surname is Cao, Taowendong, and we are old acquaintances with the Marquis of Yong'an! My father said that the emperor today is so considerate of the people, Cao I am also willing to share my worries for the Holy One!"
"It turns out to be Boss Cao! Boss Cao understands justice and I admire him! Please come in, little brother! There will be someone in charge of counting the copper coins!"
Wang Zhong suddenly realized what he was doing and asked someone to take the boy to the backyard.
"Cao Wendong? I have heard of it before! I didn't expect that there are people who understand righteousness so well among merchants!"
In the corridor, Queen Changsun whispered softly.
After that, she looked at the clock and said: "Yu Xi, and all the ladies of the country, I still have some things to do, so I'll take the first step. Thank you for your hard work here!"
Everyone has no objection.
Queen Changsun took her people and left through the back door of the workshop.
