The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 583 Candidates (Updated)

"There must be a way for a car to go to the mountain, and it will be straight when it reaches the bridge." Xuan Shijing smiled: "People, the most indispensable thing in Tang Dynasty now is people. Brother Fang, you think of a way to find them in Chang'an City. A poor family, preferably one with a serious illness, who cannot afford medical expenses.”

"Poor people, seriously ill? Can't afford medical expenses?" Jiang Muqing tilted her head and looked at Xuan Shijing: "Master, what do you want to do?"

"It's hard to find such a person." Fang Yiai shook her head with a smile: "Xuanhou, have you forgotten the charity event under Mrs. Jin's hand? There are not many such people, there are only a few There are not many, as long as they go through the investigation of the Xuanwu Building, almost all of them can apply for a sum of money from the Charity Association for medical treatment."

It's true, Xuan Shijing lowered his eyes, and didn't ask for a long time, almost forgot about this foundation.

"That's even easier. Take my handwriting to Xuanwu Tower, browse the information directly from the charity association, and just pick someone out." Xuan Shijing said: "After the candidate is probably selected, let someone check Check the details of this person and his usual behavior, if you think it is useful, go to this person, if you agree to enter the Zheng family, his family will receive a subsidy of two yuan a month in the future."

Two pennies, although it doesn't sound like much, is actually two thousand copper coins. For ordinary people living in Chang'an City, two pennies is already a lot of money.

"That's a good idea." Fang Yiai nodded, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the charity association of yours, Xuanhou, would have such a role. Did you already think of it when you established the charity association? It’s really far-sighted.”

With a solution to the matter, Fang Yiai's mood improved, and she couldn't help making fun of Xuan Shijing.

"Charity meeting? What kind of charity meeting?" Jiang Muqing looked at the two in confusion.

The Charity Association was established years ago. At that time, Jiang Muqing was not in Chang'an at all. Naturally, she didn't know the origin and function of this charity association. It's just that I suddenly heard it today, and I was a little curious about this so-called charity association. After listening to Xuan Shijing and Jiang Muqing couldn't guess anything about just a few words between Fang Yiai and the two of them.

"Oh, the Charity Association is an organization established by Xuanhou years ago to help the poor. For example, some people look down on illness because of the great changes in their families. It is equivalent to donating money to do good deeds, but it is just a unified planning and use of scattered money." Fang Yiai said.

Fang Yiai paid attention to the Charity Association when it was established. Not long after it was established, there was a snowstorm in Liaodong. Naturally, the Charity Association was vigorously raising funds in Chang'an City. Almost all the wives in Chang'an City were dispatched. Now, no one cares about the noble status of what they do. If you have money, you can contribute money, and you can contribute your strength. Thinking about it now, it makes people feel a little excited.

"The establishment of the Charity Association was also accidentally thought of. It borrowed Sizi's name, and the source of the first money for the Charity Association was not too open and aboveboard. It was purely to use the money for the common people, but Xuan Shi Jing also didn't want to trust people from the Ministry of Households out of her own experience, so she simply recruited Princess Jinyang to do it alone, so that she could gain some reputation for Jinyang.

In the end, it was unexpected and reasonable. When it was first established, it was Xuan Shijing who helped to develop strategies. This made the Wang family join hands with Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Qin to surround the entire circle of ladies in Chang'an. went in.

"So that's the case." Jiang Muqing suddenly realized: "If this is the case, it is indeed a good idea to choose one person from among the people rescued by the charity. Some people will take their own lives when they are in distress. To repay you, charity will reach out to help these people when they are most difficult, and no one will forget this kindness."

"It's not a good thing to just repay favors. Although it's a last resort, but in the future, we should try not to do this kind of thing." Xuan Shijing said with emotion.

"Why does Hou Ye need to do this? The wages paid twice a month, plus the wages given by the Zheng family, are already quite a lot for ordinary people in Chang'an City. Hou Ye gave such an errand, whether it is Whoever is selected should be happy." Jiang Muqing said.

Jiang Muqing was born in a wealthy family. The servants in the family were all slaves bought by Mr. Jiang from outside. They had a contract of sale and belonged to slavery. His status can't even match that of a cow in his family.

Although those people in the Charity Association are not as serious as slaves, but by analogy, in Jiang Muqing's eyes, such an opportunity is almost quite precious to them, even if it is to repay their favor, it is also good for them Besides, when he entered the Zheng family, he was just an ordinary handyman. If nothing happened in the future, the Shenhou Mansion would send him back, and he would just find an excuse to leave the Zheng family.

This errand is not difficult to say, easy to say, but ordinary people can't do it.

"Miss Jiang's words are also reasonable, Xuanhou, leave this matter to me, don't worry about it, isn't the Hou's mansion preparing for the marriage between Gao Jun and Miss Long'er now, let's put this matter first Once things are done, there will be time to talk about other things." Fang Yiai said.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "That's right, my mother asked Mr. Gao Jun and Long'er to count their days, and the date is set to be ten days later. Before that, I have to talk about the end of the Wang family's affairs, although Wang Jingzhi can't be too harsh, but let him go like this, I can't swallow this breath in my heart. Today, His Majesty came to Shenhou Mansion and told us not to take Wang Jingzhi's life, but what else? Didn't say anything, this gave us room to do it."

"How does Hou Ye want to deal with Wang Jingzhi?" Fang Yiai asked.

"I've thought about it a long time ago. Recently, I'm asking people to find a kind of mine. When this kind of mine is found, I will send Wang Jing directly to the mine. First, I will work for Ben Hou for two years." Xuan Shijing laughed.

"Looking for mines?" Fang Yiai frowned, looked at Xuan Shijing and asked, "The mining of this mine requires the approval of the imperial court. The crime of mining without permission is not a small one."

Fang Yiai didn't know that Xuan Shijing was talking about coal mines, and thought that Xuan Shijing was going to open copper or iron mines. If these two mines were mined privately, it would cost his head.

Coal has not yet appeared in the Tang Dynasty, so this kind of ore has not been clearly written in the regulations by His Majesty Li Er, saying that mining coal mines will lose your head, so Xuan Shijing is also taking advantage of this loophole.

After everyone realizes the benefits of this coal, the imperial government's control will come.
