""The Most Lovely People", when the country is in trouble, a call comes... They sacrifice their lives to go to the country in the country's disaster, and they regard death as if they are home. They are the most lovable people... Businessmen who are too profit-seeking and forgetful of loyalty in the eyes of countless people... Raise military resources of 428,000 Five hundred strings... At the critical moment, they all sacrificed themselves for justice and shared the country's worries. They are also the most lovable people... "
The backyard of the Wang family's big house.
After lunch, Wang Yuren fetched today's latest "Datang Daily", leaned on the couch, and began to read the newspaper. He was immediately attracted by the headline news in today's "Datang Daily".
The editorial office of "Datang Daily" is in Lantian County. Every morning, the people in Chang'an and the surrounding areas of Chang'an can "enjoy" the latest newspaper as soon as possible, but it is limited by geographical space and information transmission methods. For example, in Taiyuan City In a city like this that is a certain distance from Chang'an City, local people often have to wait several hours at night if they want to read the latest issue of the newspaper. As for the specific delay, it depends on how far away it is from Lantian County. !
Taiyuan City usually receives newspapers delivered from the editorial department of Lantian County's "Datang Daily" around noon.
Due to the closure of Taiyuan City today, there was a lot of delay in the process of newspapers entering the city, so Wang Yu didn't get today's latest issue of "Datang Daily" until after lunch!
"A small fund-raising meeting actually raised nearly 430,000 yuan!"
After reading this news, Wang Yu couldn't help but sigh softly.
In the room, besides him, there were Wang Bing and Princess Tong'an. Hearing this, Wang Bing raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Yu'er, are you saying that the fund-raising meeting held by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce in Lantian County yesterday raised nearly forty yuan?" Thirty thousand dollars of military resources?"
In the past few days, news was flying all over the place that the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce planned to hold a fund-raising meeting to raise military supplies for the country. Naturally, relevant news was also spread in Taiyuan. As the previous head of the Wang family, Wang Bing could not be unaware of the fund-raising meeting.
"Exactly!"
Wang Yu nodded, then pointed to another piece of news below the headline: "Dad, look, there is a list of donors below. It records the names of the businessmen who donated money at yesterday's fund-raising meeting and their respective donations. How much!"
Wang Bing's heart moved and he suddenly became interested. He leaned forward and said, "Oh~? Let me take a look at it!"
There were no other maids or servants in the room, so Wang Yu could only get up and step forward in person, handing the newspaper in his hand to Wang Bing.
Wang Bing reached out to take it and looked at it carefully.
"Yong'an Marquis Li Zexuan donated 30,000 yuan!
Nuantang Foundation, donated 20,000 yuan!
Lin Wenyuan from the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce donated 20,000 yuan!
Cao Wendong of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce donated 20,000 yuan!
Feng Zhihua from the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce donated 20,000 yuan..."
At the top of the list are naturally the members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce represented by Li Zexuan, Lin Wenyuan and others. These people came forward to donate money, which was naturally expected by Wang Bing. After all, yesterday's fund-raising meeting was organized by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, but this huge The amount of donation surprised Wang Bing slightly.
This Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce is really rich!
This is the most intuitive feeling in Wang Bing's heart at this time!
"Huh? Wang Peng of Jubaozhai, donate 30,000 yuan?"
Suddenly, when he saw a certain line on the list, Wang Bing's eyes suddenly stopped. He couldn't help but raise his head to look at Wang Yu and asked: "If I remember correctly, this Jubaozhai should be where Biao'er is." Is it a shop opened in Chang'an City~?"
Wang Yu smiled, nodded and replied: "Father has a good memory! This Jubaozhai is the same shop that Biao'er opened when he first arrived in Chang'an last year. Later, Biao'er and the Marquis of Yong'an had close friendships and shared the same goals, and he also joined the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce. !”
"Um!"
Wang Bing nodded when he heard this. He didn't say anything more, but continued to look down. But the more he looked, the more solemn the expression on his face became!
"Cheng Ji Winery, Cheng Ruisong, donated five thousand guan! Cheng Ji Winery? Isn't this the winery of Cheng Zhijie's family?"
"Qin Ji, a tailor shop in Guangxian, donated five thousand guan! This belongs to Duke Yi Guo Qin Qiong!"
"Sun Zhuo, the director of Yifeng Ironware Shop, donated four thousand guan! This belongs to Zhao Guogong's family!"
"This...could it be that all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty secretly participated in this fund-raising meeting~?"
As the former head of the Wang family, Wang Bing has far more information channels than ordinary people. For these shops on the list, people may not know who is behind them, but how can Wang Bing not know
It is precisely because of knowing that his face is full of solemnity at this moment!
At first, he only thought that this fund-raising meeting was held specifically for businessmen, but now it seems that with Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Changsun Wuji and other highly respected officials and generals taking the lead, I am afraid that all the civil and military officials of the dynasty participated in this event. A fundraiser
The fact was indeed as he expected. In the middle and lower parts of the list, almost all the shops opened by the civil and military officials of the dynasty appeared on it. As a result, the specifications and meaning of this fund-raising meeting were completely different!
While Wang Bing felt a shiver in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky. He was glad that his grandson also donated money at yesterday's fund-raising meeting, which made the Wang family's situation less embarrassing!
When Wang Yu and Princess Tong'an who were sitting next to him heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across their faces. They probably didn't expect so many courtiers to secretly participate in yesterday's fund-raising meeting!
"Fanyang Lu family, donate 30,000 guan... Zhaojun Li family, donate 30,000 guan!"
Wang Bing thought there was nothing surprising at the end of the list, but after seeing the last two lines, his eyes suddenly widened and his face was full of disbelief: "Fanyang Lu family? Zhaojun Li family? They actually Did you really attend the fundraiser?”
Wang Yu and Princess Tong'an looked at each other and said, "Dad, when we returned to Taiyuan from Qizhou the day before yesterday, the two young masters of the Lu family and the Li family left for Chang'an. At that time, the child guessed that they were attending a fund-raising meeting. , This shows that under the current situation where the imperial power is at its peak, our family can only be loyal to the imperial court and cannot have second thoughts! Otherwise, we will be isolated by other aristocratic families before the imperial court can cause us trouble!"
Wang Bing's face was heavy, and he said with deep understanding: "Yu'er, you are right! Although it is said that the five surnames and the seven hopes are the same, but with interests at the forefront and life and death at stake, everyone will do their own thing. , if Biao Er does not send anyone to participate in this fund-raising meeting, but the Lu and Li families do, then the situation of our Wang family in the court will become very embarrassing, and I am afraid we will offend the Holy Emperor! This time Biao Er will do it You are right, and what you did is also right! Remember to ask people to buy a few more newspapers later and send them to the second, third, and fourth rooms respectively, so that they can all take a good look! Take a good look at the current situation!"
The corner of Wang Yu's mouth curled up, and he cupped his hands and said, "Yes! Father!"
