The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 297 Warm Winter
It is getting colder.

Under the arrangement of Liu Wei, the household department posted notices about the situation of the Ci'an Bureau in various places in Bianjing City, and called on caring people to donate.

To this end, the Tobu capital has arranged bases for accepting donations.

It's just that in the first two days, not many people in the capital made donations for this purpose.

In the eyes of the people in the capital, the household department has plenty of money. Since it wants to help the homeless, why not use the money from the court? They pay so much tax every year, where does the money go?
Corrupt officials.

People naturally thought that the money was stolen by the officials. Since the money was stolen by the officials, how could they be willing to pay?

The base for accepting donations is deserted every day. Shang Jing told Liu Wei helplessly about the situation. After hearing this, Liu Wei showed a slight smile. It is not enough to just rely on some notices.

So, after Shang Jing came to find him, he sent a message to Qin Yun, asking her to act according to plan.

This morning, it was windy and cold.

There are very few donation-accepting stalls on the street, and officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs stomped their feet to keep warm while rubbing their hands together.

At this moment, a carriage suddenly came running in the distance, and there were many people behind the carriage. Judging from the appearance of those people, they were rich people.

The carriage stopped, and there were several big boxes on it. After the people behind came, they opened the boxes, and saw that they were full of copper coins, which amounted to thousands of coins.

Suddenly the news that someone brought so much money to the donation site quickly spread, and then many people who liked to watch the excitement gathered around.

The leader is a middle-aged man, surnamed Zhang Mingke.

"Here is a thousand coins, which we raised to the Ci'an Bureau on behalf of the merchants in the capital. I hope it can help."

After Zhang Ke finished speaking, the businessmen in the capital behind him followed suit one after another, and they would speak up and say what the Ci'an Bureau said was good. Doing this is no different from accumulating merit...

These businessmen spoke righteous words, and took out the money first, and the people next to them were immediately infected.

"Are old clothes okay?"

"Okay, as long as it's love, we'll accept it."

"Can you use this money for the homeless and young children?"

"Of course, this matter was personally supervised by the Holy Majesty and Master Liu. How dare we slack off and conceal it?"

When everyone heard that it was supervised by Zhao Kuangyin and Liu Wei, they immediately believed it again.

"Okay, I'll go home and get my old clothes. It seems that I still have half a bag of food, so I might as well donate it..."

When people know more about the Ci An Bureau, their attitude towards donations has changed, and as more and more people donate, those who don’t donate have no choice but to donate. If they don’t donate, they will be considered as unloving. , In the future, you will be counted down. If you can avoid being counted down by just taking a few old clothes or a few copper coins, why not do it?
In fact, people are always selfish. It is not that there are no people who are willing to give selflessly, but there are very few people who donate. But most of the people who donate are selfish. They donate for many reasons. Some may want to accumulate virtue, and some may not want to be People look down on it, and some may be out of face.

But no matter what they donated for, for those homeless people in Beijing, this winter is warm, because of the behavior of these people.

No matter what reason a person does good deeds, it is enough to be respected by others.

Just a few days later, the household department has received tens of thousands of money, plus countless clothes and food. It is no problem for the homeless people in Bianjing to have a warm winter.

At this time, a simple Ci'an Bureau outside the capital city, but enough to keep out the cold, was also built.

Everything is ready, the next thing to do is to let the homeless people live in, and then hire some people to take care of their daily life.

Providing people with free accommodation, food and clothing is the best thing for many people, and even some people who already have families want to come here for a winter.

Liu Wei had thought of this kind of situation a long time ago, so when leading people to move in, he specially told the person in charge that no matter who is in charge, he must investigate that person clearly, and those who have houses are not allowed to enter the Ci'an Bureau. Those who have sons and are able to support them are not allowed to live in the Ci'an Bureau. If the son does not support them, the matter can be reported to the Kaifeng government, and the Kaifeng government will punish him for a crime of unfilial piety.

In addition, there are still some conditions that people cannot enter the Charity Bureau. For example, people who are young, free from illness, and enough to find a livelihood, regardless of whether they are homeless or not, are not allowed to enter the Charity Bureau. security bureau.

........................

........................

These rules formulated by Liu Wei can effectively put some people here pretending to be homeless people to make up for it, and this method can ensure that all resources are used on those who really need them.

When it was deep winter, everything was done. This winter, no one died of freezing in the capital.

The atmosphere in the capital has changed, and the emperor's sages are being preached everywhere.

When Zhao Kuangyin's good name spread to Zhao Kuangyin's ears, Zhao Kuangyin was very excited, an indescribable excitement. He didn't do much to deal with the matter of the Ci'an Bureau, but he just gave orders. After the matter was over, everyone The people passed on his good name, and he felt that it was really good to be such an emperor who was loved by all people.

And when he thought of these things, he thought of Liu Wei. All of this should be Liu Wei's credit. Whether it is to propose the construction of the Ci'an Bureau, or find a way to get the people to donate clothes and money, it is all his credit.

But he did it in a low-key manner and in obscurity.

Zhao Kuangyin thinks that Liu Wei is really a rare and good minister. With Liu Wei, he believes that his throne will be more stable and his country will be more prosperous.

It's time to find a chance to reward Liu Wei.
-
pan mansion.

Ever since King Jin approached Pan Mei, Pan Mei seldom went out. Even when she went to court, she mostly kept silent. When friends came to visit, they always found various excuses to shirk.

But even so, he is clear about the outside things.

He did all this just to reassure King Jin, but it doesn't mean that he really accepted his fate.

He knew very well that if he wanted to save the life of the Pan family, the only way to kill King Jin was to kill King Wei completely. The only way was to help King Wei become emperor. After the matter was revealed, King Wei would be ashamed to kill him as a hero, wouldn't he?

Pan Mei didn't know King Wei very well, but he was aware of the situation. If he really helped King Wei ascend the throne, how could King Wei kill him due to the situation?
But Pan Mei never said these things to anyone, even if he wanted to take refuge in King Wei, he couldn't say that, he was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that could kill King Jin all at once.

But now he is most angry with the Ci'an Bureau proposed by Liu Wei.

He firmly believes that Liu Wei is the murderer who killed his son, and he has been looking for opportunities to deal with Liu Wei all these years, but what he did not expect is that Liu Wei's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and his reputation is getting better and better. can't.

The recent incidents in the Ci'an Bureau made him even more favored by the Holy Majesty. He felt that he could no longer just sit around like this. He wanted a way to make Liu Wei suffer a little bit.

He knew that the affairs of the Ci'an Bureau alone would not kill Liu Wei, but if he could see Liu Wei in trouble, he would still be very happy.

But how should I teach Liu Wei a lesson?
He sent someone to investigate the situation of the Ci'an Bureau. When he learned about the situation of the Ci'an Bureau, he found that it was really too difficult to start from the Ci'an Bureau. He originally thought that after the establishment of the Ci'an Bureau, there might be Some people fished in troubled waters and went in to enjoy the benefits, but Liu Wei set the rules very strictly, and some people who did not meet the conditions were not allowed to enter at all, which made him find trouble even if he wanted to.

After contemplating for a long time in the study, Pan Meicai realized that her hands were a little cold because they were always exposed outside. The study was always warm, but he still felt cold.

Thinking of this, Pan Mei suddenly beamed with joy. Isn't the situation of the Ci'an Bureau very similar to his current situation?No matter how warm the house is, it is winter after all, and if you put your hands outside for a long time, it will be cold. Isn't it the same in the Ci'an Bureau? Is there no other way?

There was a sneer at the corner of Pan Mei's mouth. He felt that it was necessary to make trouble for Liu Wei. At that time, he would make everyone feel that everything Liu Wei did was useless. It's just something Liu Wei made for fame and fame. This thing is of no use to the people of Song Dynasty.

The only use is to exploit a lot of money from the people.

Pan Mei believes that when the incident breaks out, many officials will stand up against Liu Wei. Because of Liu Wei's donation, many people in the court paid for it, but it was not voluntary, but forced It's just the situation.

At that time, Liu Weicai said that there was not enough money in the household department, and he wanted to collect donations from the people. After Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he immediately took out a thousand coins from the internal treasury.

But although these ministers took out the money, they hated Liu Wei very much.

The salaries of their officials are not low, but their expenses are also high. Who doesn't have a dozen maids in their family, don't they all cost money?That scholar-bureaucrat doesn't go to the place of fireworks when he has nothing to do. Doesn't it cost money?

But all the money was given to the Ci'an Bureau because of Liu Wei's proposal.

Their atmosphere, Liu Wei is not short of money, he can just donate by himself, why are they thinking about court officials like them?

Pan Mei laughed after thinking about it.
