Sheng Hong explained again.
Several princes also knew this and responded accordingly.
In the end, several princes left the Qiuxian Hall with sad faces, happy faces, or frowning in thought.
Sheng Hong asked Li Qiao to return to the screen and continue processing the memorial.
He spread out Da Sheng's map and looked at it with a bitter look on his face.
Hmm...should he make more sacrifices to God in the future to pray for God's blessing?
From now on, I will sacrifice five, six, seven or eight times a year...
Well, forget it, if he asks for too much, God may think that he is mentally ill.
Let’s just do practical things honestly.
The news about Sheng Hong's third question quickly spread throughout the court.
Several people around the prince offered suggestions.
Li Qiao did whatever he was supposed to do. After getting off work, he wrapped his cloak tightly and walked towards the gate of the inner city as usual.
It's windy today, and all the officials along the way are looking like this.
When he came to his carriage, Xin Zhi's carriage was parked next to him.
The Hanlin Academy is close to the gate of the inner city. Xin Zhi is already on the carriage, and Li Yuan is also there.
After Li Yu'an and Xin Zhi got married, the two were inseparable and could not bear to be separated for a moment. In such a cold weather, Li Yu'an insisted on taking Xin Zhi to and from get off work every day. The two people's stickiness was not inferior to Li Qiao's at all. When I first got married to Tao Zhu.
At this time, seeing Li Qiao coming, Li Yuan got out of the carriage. His whole body was wrapped roundly, and only a tender little face was exposed.
"Uncle, will Uncle Zhu go to the shantang tomorrow? The Xin family has packed up a bunch of old clothes and I plan to send them there tomorrow."
Xin Zhi stood beside him and said: "This time I packed up all the clothes that are not needed at home, including the servants' clothes. It is estimated that it will be loaded into twenty or thirty carriages."
"Brother Zhu should go to the shantang tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work."
Li Qiao couldn't help but smile.
Sheng Hong is right when he says that when faced with difficulties, the upper levels should lend a helping hand to the lower levels.
Many people think he is stupid, but in Dasheng, there are definitely many people who are as stupid as him. Otherwise, how could Dasheng survive the difficulties in his previous life?
Such a great event is worth his efforts.
After ten days of low temperatures, the temperature has risen slightly.
During this period, many families in Shengjing, like Shen Hua and the Xin family, donated their unused clothes.
The supplies that the shantang received every day suddenly turned from scattered scattered items into small mountains.
Tao Zhu sold all these items he could in exchange for more ordinary cotton-padded clothes and quilts to help more people.
Moreover, because people from Jibei Province kept coming, and Langfang Mansion was very close to Shengjing, Tao Zhu transported some of the clothes to Langfang Mansion and handed them over to Magistrate Jiang, so that Magistrate Jiang could process them and distribute them to the people.
Magistrate Jiang purchased some cotton this year, and since he is a local official, he is the boss in Langfang Mansion. Therefore, after the cotton he purchased was distributed, he openly invited some wealthy businessmen from the whole government to his home. Let these wealthy businessmen donate some unused clothes.
The same was true for the Ming governor.
Governor Ming is the boss, he is used to doing this kind of thing, and now he is very familiar with it.
He didn't line his own pockets. Every penny he raised from donations was spent on the people. Every time he did something like this, he would truthfully write it down in the book and report it to Sheng Hong.
Now that the people are facing difficulties, he is even more confident in raising donations.
Moreover, he also remembered the kindness of these wealthy businessmen. If these people encountered any injustice in the future, he would naturally help them.
Speaking of which, he was doing good deeds and giving wealthy businessmen a chance to get close to him.
In fact, those wealthy businessmen are eager to donate.

The author has something to say:
Xishan Province and Xishan Province are not the same place~
Chapter 218: Donating clothes from various places, Li Qiao has less plot, Gao Zhiyuan is almost pissed to death
The Fan family in Jincheng Mansion is also trying its best to raise warm clothes.
Jincheng is in Xishan Province, some distance from Shengjing, but this wave of low temperatures has also affected Jincheng, so the Fan family actively raised donations.
In addition, the Fan family is in the coal business, so their business is good when the temperature is low.
Other coal bosses took the opportunity to increase the price of coal, but the Fan family did not increase the price.
However, the Fan family's affordable coal can only be sold to ordinary people, and the purchase is restricted. Once ordinary people are found to be reselling the Fan family's coal, they will be included in the Fan family's blacklist from now on, and they will no longer be able to buy affordable coal from the Fan family.
The magistrate of Jincheng Prefecture, seeing the Fan family doing this, also publicly solicited donations of warm clothes.
What a great opportunity to build your presence!
If he registers in front of Mr. Li, he doesn't expect Mr. Li to give him a few kind words in front of the Holy Father. As long as Mr. Li mentions the noble and selfless deeds of the Fan family, he mentions him in passing, and then matches his own political achievements. Then there might be hope for promotion.
The prefect of Cangzhou Mansion also began to collect donations of clothes.
Li Qiao had farmland in Cangzhou Prefecture and sent his personal bodyguards. The prefect of Cangzhou Prefecture also followed the example of Shengjing Shantang in order to make a fortune for himself.
Heroes emerge from troubled times, and natural disasters test abilities. The scientific examination questions of the Holy Master in recent years have all revolved around various natural disasters. Now, it seems that natural disasters are really coming. If you don't show your ability now, when will you show your ability?
The situation in the house must be stabilized, so that the Lord can see how capable he is!
Otherwise, the scientific examination talents that the Holy Master has trained over the past ten years might take his place.
This is not impossible.
The scholars in the world have been tortured by the Holy Emperor for more than ten years, and they have long been familiar with various natural disasters. Not to mention Jinshi, even the candidates in the new examination have certain abilities in disaster relief and treatment.
There are so many people waiting to become officials. If these people in official positions don't work hard, they can be kicked away by the Holy Emperor at any time.
The Holy Emperor does not take the usual path in promoting talents, and likes to let talented and capable people skip promotions.
Look at Master Li.
Look at Governor Ming.
I'm jealous!
Pingcheng is far away from Shengjing, so the impact of this wave of low temperature on Pingcheng is not as great as that of Shengjing.
But Zhuang Fengshou couldn't help but worry when he thought about his last experience in Beijing.
Although Shengjing is the capital, the life of the people at the bottom is not easy. This is the case in Shengjing, let alone the people at the bottom in other places.
He asked Zhuang Wu to beat the gong and call on the people in the village to hold a meeting under the willow tree at the entrance of the village. When people from every house came, he stated his purpose:
If anyone has old cotton clothes and quilts that they no longer need, they can donate them.
However, the people in Pingcheng do not need these clothes, and the donated clothes will be sent to other places.
He would decide where to send it specifically after he wrote to Li Qiao and asked Li Qiao for his opinion.
When it came to asking Li Qiao's opinion on this matter, the villagers in Sanliu Village were very positive. In fact, given the frugality of the people in Sanliu Village, many people would not be willing to part with it even if their families had savings of thousands of taels. Donate clothing.
After all, the time for Sanliu Village to become rich is too short. This year is only the tenth year since Li Qiao changed his mind.
Except for the little babies born in the past ten years, who among the remaining villagers has not endured hardship?
Many elderly people have experienced the wars in the last years of the previous dynasty, and the word frugality is engraved in their bones. Although they are old clothes, they may be used for some time, so why donate them to others?
But now Li Qiao Tao Zhu built a charity hall in Shengjing.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu are raising donations for the people at the bottom, and the couple even buy cotton with their own money.
As Mr. Li's roots, they cannot disgrace Mr. Li. They must donate this time!
So the villagers went home and dug out old cotton-padded clothes that had been patched or had been washed and washed for many years but were reluctant to throw away. Even Li Chuntao and other Li family members did not donate good-quality clothes.
On the one hand, I feel reluctant to give up.
On the other hand, according to their thinking, these clothes are quite good, not tattered, clean, and can be worn for several years. The objects of their donations are poor people who are short of clothes. What else do poor people care about?
If someone donated such clothes to them when they were about to freeze to death, they would definitely be grateful.
Zhuang Fengshou also has the same idea. Just have clothes to wear, and there is no need to pay so much attention. Therefore, the bankers donate old clothes that are not worn.
The behavior of the people in Sanliu Village attracted the attention of nearby villages.
This is a good deed, and judging from the clothes donated by the people of Sanliu Village, people in nearby villages can also afford to donate.
So, one after another, people from nearby villages also sent old cotton clothes and bedding to Zhuang Fengshou.
This matter quickly spread to the county town, and shopkeeper Wang did not hesitate and immediately donated the old clothes he no longer needed at home.
Others also donated. They couldn't afford the good ones, but almost every household had poor cotton clothes.
While Pingcheng was busy donating clothes, news came from Shengjing and the border city.
The Hu people went south again, but it was only a small-scale harassment, and the troops in the border town could completely crush them.
But Sheng Hong felt something was not good. This winter was only half over, and the real cold winter had not yet arrived. Considering the living conditions of the Hu people, they would definitely invade the border towns again this year.
He transferred another five thousand elite soldiers there, as well as a series of cold-proof supplies, to balance the prices in the border towns and prevent people from becoming unstable.
Gao Zhiyuan was about to be pissed to death.
Your Majesty is so rich!
Troops were mobilized time and time again, and materials such as dry firewood, charcoal, cotton clothes, rice and noodles were delivered out of their own pockets, making the entire border town as strong as a fortress.
Under such circumstances, let alone breaking through the border city and reaching Shengjing, the Hu people would not even be able to kill the Sixth Prince!
If the barbarians couldn't kill the Sixth Prince, wouldn't it be in vain for him to rush to the border town?
So angry!
However, even if the Sixth Prince really came, he didn't have any good ideas for a moment... because he only knew that the Sixth Prince died next year. He didn't know the specific day and manner of his death. .
But it was precisely because he didn't know that he came to the border town.
