Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 262 Arrangement

Seeing one stand up, everyone behind him stood up.

The old man who was lifted up took out a piece of jade pendant with trembling hands, and said: "Since Engong is going to rescue the disaster for the court, and the little old man has nothing to donate, so I will hand over this piece of jade pendant to Engong." Let's go." After speaking, he handed the jade to Wang Ping'an with both hands.

Wang Pingan took the jade pendant. Although he didn't understand jade, he could see the vicissitudes of the jade, but he didn't know its value.

"Ping'an, this is a piece of warm jade. It looks like it has a history of a hundred years. According to the current market value, it would cost at least 3000 taels." Du Ru, who was sitting on a low table, said dully.

Wang Pingan pondered for a moment, and said: "Old man, how about this? You have collected the jade pendant, and I will take out the money, but donate it in your name."

"Well, how can this be done? Since the little old man donated it, how can we take it back." The old man quickly waved his hands and declined.

Wang Pingan and the old man declined for a while, and saw that the other party was determined to donate this warm jade, so they said: "How about this, old man, I bought this warm jade for 1 taels, and you can take it for five thousand miles and donate it 5000 taels, this is my bottom line, otherwise I will not accept your donation."

"This... hey! Alright! It's Yi Engong's." The old man sighed and said helplessly.

"What's your name, old man? Where do you live? We need to register you here." Wang Ping'an said.

The old man said: "The little old man is called Wang Fu, and they all call me Old Man Wang. I live at the gate of Zhuque Dajia South Road."

"Okay, old man, go and rest first." Wang Ping'an arranged for others to take the old man home.

On the other side, Du Ruhui picked up a brush and wrote on the paper: Wang Fu, donated 5000 taels of silver, and lived at the South Road of Zhuque Street.

And the guards around him shouted after seeing his master finished writing, "Wang Fu, donate 5000 taels of silver."

As the guard's voice penetrated into the ears of the people, they came back to their senses from the seriousness just now, and they began to scramble to donate money.

Wang Pingan knew that Wang Fu's donation was a good start for everyone, but he did not know that he was the main reason for everyone's enthusiastic donation.

Gao Shou saw that the crowd of onlookers began to decrease, and they surrounded him in another direction. When he was still wondering, he saw Wang Ping'an and knew the reason.

"Ping An, you are finally here, I am almost driven crazy by their questions." Gao Shou said with an aggrieved face, it is fine to let him kill the enemy, but it is a headache to let him sit and talk about Zou Zou.

Wang Pingan said: "It's okay, you can see how enthusiastically the people donated. And they lined up in an orderly manner, and they didn't need to be reminded at all. What a good folk custom, I have the opportunity to talk to Your Majesty."

"These are ordinary people without much money." Gao Shou reminded.

"I know, aren't we waiting? A wealthy businessman will come soon." Wang Pingan said calmly.

Sure enough, as Wang Ping'an expected, a group of people dressed in silk satin came running over. Looking at the head, there were at least a hundred people.

Wang Pingan could see that these people were rich businessmen who had been trapped by Xiaoyaolin.

After they ran over excitedly, they also saw Wang Ping'an and Gao Shou. In their hearts, these two people were incredible masters. The first two were still a little scared.

"Wealthy people, let's meet again." Wang Ping'an looked at these wealthy businessmen with a smile, like looking at fat sheep.

"Good to have met the two generals," said a leading wealthy businessman.

Wang Pingan asked: "Are you also here to donate money?" Gao Shou just answered them with a hum.

"Exactly, as a member of Datang, we should provide a little help to the people affected by the disaster."

"Well, it's rare that you have the heart. May I ask how many of you and I are in the medicine business, and how many people are in the clothing and quilt business? How many people have business dealings in Puzhou, Luozhou, and Bianzhou. "Wang Pingan raised some questions. In fact, disaster relief money is not the most important thing, but supplies are the most important, because when you are hungry, you can't eat as food, and when you are cold, you can't wear it as clothes.

"My small family is in the business of medicinal herbs. There are stores all over the country. Linji Herbal Medicine Shop is well-known throughout the country." A taller, but slightly fat rich businessman shouted.

"My family is also in the medicine business."

"My family sells food."

"My family sells cloth."

One by one, they began to repay the industry they had done at home. A few drops of cold sweat dripped from Wang Pingan's temples.And Gao Shou next to him left Wang Ping'an and stood behind Du Ruhui.

"Okay, okay, please be quiet, what we lack now are medicinal materials, clothing, quilts, food and other items, and it is not convenient to transport from Chang'an to Puzhou, Luozhou and Bianzhou. If the local If there is a medicine store, I want to get the goods locally, you can donate or sell, it’s up to you.” Wang Ping’an said.

"We came here to donate materials to the people in the disaster area. In fact, we got the news as soon as possible after the disaster. After a few days of discussion, we businessmen listed a series of donated materials. I asked the governor to hand over the list of donations to the imperial court, but we waited for a few days, but there was still no news. I didn’t expect you, General, to build a stele of merit and virtue today, so let’s take a look at the situation.” The leader replied the merchant.

When Wang Pingan heard it, he cursed inwardly: "Nimma, this is a big embarrassment. I thought I was playing tricks on those businessmen, but I didn't expect that the businessmen had already made a list of donations. Now I am playing tricks on myself."

This is actually due to Wang Ping'an's thinking about businessmen in the 21st century. He never thought about ancient businessmen. They were at the bottom of the ranks among scholars, farmers, businessmen, and were looked down upon by everyone as cheap.

So as long as they have the opportunity, they will try their best to keep quiet. Even when some dynasties buy titles, merchants will pay a lot of money to buy titles, so as to get rid of their status as merchants.

So this time Wang Pingan shot himself in the foot completely by himself.

After Wang Pingan took the list, he saw a bunch of numbers: 50 catties of medicinal materials, 50 dans of grain, and 50 sets of clothes...

After seeing the figures, Wang Ping'an felt a little dizzy, and felt that these merchants were too generous, because these things cost millions of taels to sell.

"Thank you for your assistance to the people in the disaster area. I would like to express my gratitude to you for the people in the disaster area."

"General, don't do this. As the people of Datang, we should help the people of Datang. Unlike those Hu merchants, they saw that Datang was flooded, and they were indifferent."

"Anyway, I still have to thank you, General. Your merits will be engraved on the merit tablet and praised by thousands of people." Wang Pingan said.

Wang Pingan asked a secretary to record the names, business names, and addresses of these merchants, and asked another secretary to replace Du Ruhui: "Uncle Du, the supplies are almost ready. These are the supplies donated by those merchants. Please take a look at them. Then let's go to the Prince's Mansion." .”

Du Ruhui took the list of supplies, looked at it, frowned and said, "They gave us the supplies so simply?"

"That's right, my nephew really treats the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. So they already..." Wang Pingan told Du Ruhui what the merchants said.

"Damn it, Qianfu Yin is so hateful, it is already hateful enough to use money to do things, but it is even more hateful to take money and not do things." Du Ruhui said with deep hatred.

Gao Shou squinted at Du Ruhui from the side, and thought, "I didn't expect Lao Du to go crazy."

Wang Pingan arranged for eight people to make records there, and told the doctors who came to ask questions to go to the Prince's Mansion to find them, and a few of them walked across six streets from Zhuque Street to the Prince's Mansion directly.

Li Chengqian has begged His Majesty to send two imperial physicians to assist them, one surnamed Zhang and the other surnamed Huang.There are [-] other officials who will follow Wang Ping'an to help the disaster, and they are all in the Prince's Mansion at present.

At this time, Zhao Hao and Dong Xue also found more than 1000 refugees in the refugee camp, both men and women, who were strong and strong, but their condition was that the whole family should follow, Zhao Hao and Dong Xue agreed, so the team It suddenly became a team of more than 5000 people. Because the number of people was too large, the refugees only arranged a few people as representatives to follow Zhao Hao and Dong Xue to the Prince's Mansion.

However, those special soldiers who went to buy medicinal materials only received [-] catties of herbal medicine. When the special soldiers were about to deliver the goods, a shopkeeper came out and explained that it was because the owner of the medicine shop had donated all the medicinal materials to the local people affected by the disaster. Those who keep the medicinal materials at the medicine shop, if someone in Chang'an gets sick, they have to sell the medicinal materials to others.

Immediately, those special soldiers stopped cooking. Could it be that they beat those kind people who donated medicinal materials? If the two generals knew about it, they would have to skin them.

As for the pair of special soldiers who collected old clothes, the collection went smoothly. Some wealthy households with a little wealth gave them all the old clothes they didn't want to wear, and almost every special soldier took dozens of sets of clothes.

They all rushed to the Prince's Mansion, because it was getting late, and there was a curfew in Chang'an City at night, and ordinary people were not allowed to wander the streets casually.

Almost at the same time, Wang Pingan's first team, the medicinal materials buying team, and the old clothes buying team had already arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion with Zhao Hao and Dong Xue's first team.

Now there is only a shortage of doctors, so we can only wait.Because many powerful doctors are sitting in court now, and they have no time to deal with other things.
