The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 277
After discussing with Li Chengqian and others in the East Palace for a long time, Xuan Shijing came out of the palace under the leadership of the little yellow gate sent by Li Chengqian. As soon as he left the palace gate, Xuan Shijing saw Shihu being forced by the neck by two Yulin soldiers. side.

Seeing this, Xuan Shijing hurried forward to ask.

"Two sergeants, this is my bodyguard, dare to ask what he did?"

Although Shihu was forced against the wall by two Habayashi soldiers, he still had a calm expression on his face, as if the shining blade was not resting on his own neck.

The Habayashi Army at the gate of the palace recognized Xuan Shijing, cupped his hands and said: "Back to Lord Hou, just now the guards of your mansion tried to break into the gate of the palace by force, so I was taken down by a group of brothers, but I waited to see this man There is no malice, so I just kept him under watch temporarily, and I also know that he is the guard of your house, Lord Hou, so I am waiting for you to come out."

Xuan Shijing nodded, took out a sling of copper coins from his sleeve, and handed it to the sergeant: "I have caused trouble for the brothers, this is a small gesture from the Lord, please have some wine."

The Yulin Army didn't refuse, took the money, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for the reward, my brothers."

Xuan Shijing got into the carriage, and Shi Hu also jumped onto the frame of the carriage.

"I said Shihu, why are you teasing those Habayashi soldiers when you have nothing to do?" Xuan Shijing laughed and said, "You were restrained by the two Habayashi soldiers."

"Isn't it really boring to wait outside the palace? I just wanted to discuss with them, but I only defeated one, and two teams came out of it. I saw that if I continue to fight, something will happen, so I can only be obedient. I'm going to catch you with nothing." Shi Hu said helplessly.

"You're smart, it's not dark yet, go to Xuanwuhou, I still have something to do." Xuan Shijing ordered.

"Yes, Lord Hou." Shi Hu responded, turned the carriage around, and rushed away to Xuanwu.

On the fifth floor of Xuanwu, Xuan Shijing sat in the huge office. Shi Hu and Gao Jun stood behind Xuan Shijing, one on the left and one on the right. The chairs around were already full of people. Gathered to Chang'an, shopkeepers from all over the country also stayed in Chang'an, waiting for further instructions from the Houfu.

"I called everyone here today, mainly for two things. The first thing is to report on various tasks at the end of this year. These things are all in charge of Qiandui, and I will not interfere. Today I mainly talk about the second. As for the matter, today I saw in the palace the documents urgently delivered to Chang'an by the Liaodong Army, the Liaodong has been snowed heavily for days, and the disaster has already been ruined, so what I want to talk about is the matter of disaster relief."

Xuan Shijing paused, and glanced at everyone.

Qian Dui was silent for a while, and then said: "Master Hou, isn't the imperial court always responsible for disaster relief?"

"It's different this time. This time we want to use Liaodong to build up the reputation of our foundation. The court is the government, and we are the people. Isn't it that so many officials and wives joined us for the sake of fame? Besides, whether it is the foundation or Our entire Shengtang Group needs the support of the royal family behind it, this time it is mainly for His Royal Highness and the two princes, of course, there are also some small selfishness of mine." Xuan Shijing explained.

"Then what does Lord Hou need us to do?" Qian Dui asked.

"Immediately find someone to copy [-] copies of this notice, distribute it, and post it in Chang'an and surrounding villages and towns." Xuan Shijing took out a notice written by himself and handed it to Gao Jun.

After Gao Jun took the notice, he walked up to Qiandui and handed it to Qiandui.

Qian Dui glanced at it, and saw the big eight characters at the beginning of the notice: If one party is in trouble, all parties will support it!

After a rough reading of the entire text, the content of this notice, even the piles of money that have been in the mall for a long time, can't help but feel excited and want to donate generously. This thing is posted, not to mention the ordinary people, even the people in Chang'an City. Merchants will also voluntarily donate to support Liaodong.

"Master Hou, in this way, the Jinyang Fund plus the disaster relief materials and funds shipped by the imperial court to Liaodong is not a small amount. Don't say that our foundation has to pay for it." Qian Dui said, and then put the notice in his hand Pass it to the nearby shopkeepers for a look.

"If it is only to rescue Liaodong, it is naturally enough. As for the rest, it is beyond our control. What we have to do is to integrate the money, food and materials, and hand them over to His Royal Highness when he leaves for Liaodong. That's it."

"Jing'er, do you mean that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go to Liaodong in person?" As the president of Jinyang Foundation, Xuan Shijing's mother, Wang Shi, was naturally also in this meeting. Zhong Zishuo took care of everything, and Mrs. Wang went to Xuanwulou to report every day.

"Well, that's right. Therefore, we must not make any mistakes in the private donations represented by the Jinyang Foundation, otherwise His Royal Highness will not be able to pay the job." Xuan Shijing said: "Mother, these days, Jinyang Has the fund ever recruited workers?"

Mrs. Wang nodded: "I didn't recruit people from outside, they are all from our own house, so I don't worry if I use it."

Xuan Shijing knew that Wang's own people were nothing more than the group of people who still live in Daozhengfang, the current group of people.

"Mother, tomorrow you will send people to set up sheds to collect disaster relief supplies in various parts of Chang'an City. Be sure to collect all the supplies properly. In three days, His Royal Highness must depart from Chang'an City to Luoyang, and then transfer to Liaodong from Luoyang. "

"Well, mother understands. This time, mother will personally come forward and ask the wives of the various prefectures to come out and go. This kind of thing can accumulate more merit than going to burn incense and worship Buddha."

"Qiandui, let's put aside the reports of the shopkeepers at the end of the year for now. You will take care of the accounts of the Jinyang Fund yourself. I will bring Princess Jinyang over tomorrow. In short, everything must be in order. In addition, Inform Qin Yuxin that tomorrow night, I will lend her Yan Lailou to use and let her prepare in advance."

"Master Hou, what do you want to use Yan to come to the building?" Qian Dui asked, "I can also tell Yu Xin in advance what to prepare."

"The general layout is the same as the last time Qin Bingyue played. By the way, let her spread invitations to invite dignitaries and powerful merchants from all walks of life in Chang'an. In any case, those who are rich and powerful in Chang'an City cannot be spared. People who want to earn fame." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "Take out some things from the warehouse of the Hou Mansion, and then I will hold a charity sale in Yanlai Building, piles of money, and you will bring them with you at that time. Sitting in the crowd with a few shopkeepers, just pretend to bid."

It's not that Xuan Shijing wants to fool these wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City. They are old foxes who have been in the mall for a long time. You should tell them that it is better to stimulate them directly with actions.

"Yes, Lord Hou."

"Think about it, is there anything missing?" Xuan Shijing scanned the crowd and asked aloud.

"Jing'er, your actions will surely cause a lot of noise. It is inevitable that some people will be jealous because of this. It is better to let His Majesty send someone over to supervise the accounting room directly. If someone uses it to make a fuss, there is also a saying. " said Wang.

"Mother is right, this matter should be left to Si Zi to handle it." Xuan Shijing said.

The Jinyang Fund bears the name of Princess Jinyang, and part of the source of the fund is also the income from the Jinyang fiefdom. It is only natural for the royal family to send people to supervise the accounting. What's more, they are only here to supervise function, and has no right to interfere with the internal affairs of the Foundation.
