Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 322: Marriage Grant (1)
You know, in his impression, apart from caring for their husbands, teaching their children, and being filial to their parents-in-law, those women are trying to make money for themselves, and some even put high profits in order to make huge profits, whether it is for the family's last resort or for the sake of their parents. Leave more money to their children, but very few of them think of the common people. The rich people's wine and meat stinks and their bones are frozen to death. It's good that they don't dislike the poor.

Even the queen, at most, took the lead in reducing the expenses in the harem when some disaster happened, but he knew very well that the purpose of the queen's doing this was just to show him, not for the real sake of the common people. For the sake of the people.

Although there are various charitable organizations among the people, it is incredible that a little girl like Su Wan would have such an idea.

Su Wan nodded slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I understand that this will be difficult, but it's up to you, isn't it?"

Moreover, she will always find a way to get people to pay, and even taking the initiative to pay is not impossible.

If she can't become a fat person by eating at one go, she will gradually grow bigger and help more people in the future.It doesn't matter if she fails in the end, or even loses all her wealth, at least, she has worked hard and struggled, and she will not regret it.

Emperor Xian De looked at her with somewhat complicated eyes, and said: "If you do this, maybe not only will you not bring you a good reputation, but you may also be smeared, splashed with dirty water, and even cause a lot of trouble, isn't it? Are you not afraid?"

After all, this kind of thing is related to money, and it is easy to make a big fuss about it. At that time, if someone takes advantage of the public opinion and incites public anger, she may be accused by thousands of people, insulted by everyone, thankless, and I am afraid that the good things will change. It's a bad thing.

Su Wan shook her head slightly, looked at him and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid, and I'm not doing it for fame, I just want to do something. Besides, isn't His Majesty backing me? Because I know that no matter what Your Majesty will definitely protect me when the time comes."

Looking at Su Wan's bright eyes full of confidence and trust, Emperor Xiande's heart throbbed like never before. This throbbing came so strong and so fast that he couldn't control himself for a moment. Speeding up, I felt that all the sounds were far away from him at this moment, only the sound of his beating heart was left.

At some point, his hand touched her face, then he stood up, bent down, and kissed her eyes under Su Wan's surprised expression.

"Your Majesty?" Su Wan shouted in surprise.

Emperor Xian De hugged Su Wan into his arms like this, and then he smiled softly, and after a long while, he said: "You are right, no matter what time, I will protect you, with me by your side , no one will do anything to you."

"Your Majesty?" Su Wan called out again, with a touch of emotion in her voice, she couldn't help but feel a little sore nose.

Emperor Xiande took a deep breath, let her go slowly, looked into her eyes, and said: "Just do what you want, don't worry, don't be afraid, I will always be your most solid backing .”

Su Wan nodded, looked directly at him and said, "Thank you Your Majesty, I understand, and I will definitely do well."

"I believe in you, if you have any request, just ask me, I will try my best to help you." Emperor Xian De said while stroking her cheek.

He had a premonition that if Su Wan could really do this, the influence would be beyond imagination. Both he and she might get huge benefits, not to mention, it would benefit the country and the people Good thing, what reason does he have to refuse?

However, he believed even more that Su Wan didn't do it for fame or fortune, she just did it when she wanted to.She believed in him, why didn't he believe in her?
When Su Wan heard Emperor Xian De's words, if she was still a little apprehensive and hesitant at the beginning, now she really doesn't have any scruples at all—

Since even His Majesty dared to support her so capriciously, what else did she have to worry about?

She will definitely not live up to his trust in herself.

Charity, of course, is Su Wan's first initiative. She dared to mention it because there have been various charitable organizations in history.

In addition to the official ones, there are also many private ones, not to mention the philanthropists of the Tang and Song Dynasties, which are also recorded in history.

For example, the Dafeng monk in the Northern Song Dynasty raised funds by himself, mainly to build bridges for the benefit of the people. In addition, he also provided coffins, funerals, rescued people, donated medicines, disaster relief, and sympathized with the poor. He was tireless all his life.

In addition, Zhu Xi, a famous Neo-Confucianist in the Song Dynasty, created a "community warehouse" in Kaiyao Township, Chong'an County, Jianning Prefecture, to prepare for famine and disaster relief. The local government allocated a certain amount of cheap grain, and the villagers were responsible for management.

Fan Zhongyan, who was "worrying about the world first", established "Yi Zhuang" in Suzhou and set up more than ten hectares of good land. He rented rice every year from his distant ancestors, counting the number of people in the houses and clans, to provide food, clothing, weddings and funerals. for.

In the Daqian Dynasty, there were already charitable organizations among the people, but there was no major development. Most of them existed in the form of "guild halls", which were very geographically and industry-oriented. The purpose was to help fellow villagers and colleagues, such as donations. Student aid, funeral aid, medical treatment, poverty relief, etc.

Su Wan already knew that there was a town hall in the capital, which was dedicated to helping fellow townspeople and those who came to Beijing to rush for exams.

It's just that most of these charitable people are men, even very influential men, while Su Wan is just a woman, and even in the eyes of many people, her reputation is not very good, Su Wan can imagine Well, if she really started to show her face to do charity, those people would say such nasty things, among them, there are absolutely no lack of those rotten Confucians who only know how to restrain women, make women obey the three virtues, and care for their husbands and children.

Even if she has the name of Mrs. Chu, they may not necessarily see it in their eyes. You must know that many of these people just want to be famous. In order to win the name behind them, even the emperor dares to scold her, let alone her?
Even so, Su Wan still didn't want to back down.

It was hard for her to have something she wanted to do, so no matter how many obstacles and difficulties she encountered, she had to carry on, and she would just be willful this time, otherwise, it would have been a waste of time.

However, it is definitely not that simple to do charity. If you want to really implement it, you need to plan carefully, carefully consider it, and formulate a charter.It must not start carelessly and end sloppily, this is not a child's play, just relying on impulse and enthusiasm is absolutely not acceptable.

And if you want to do charity, the most important thing is to raise money, which is a problem.

Having seen various modern methods of raising funds by charities, Su Wan is not so clueless, but whether it can be implemented or not depends on the actual situation of this era.
