After Empress Zhangsun left, Han Yuxi, Madam Qin, and the others all heaved a sigh of relief. Although Empress Zhangsun appeared approachable, it was inevitable that they would feel pressured when they were with her.
"Yuxi, this Boss Cao is really generous! He actually took out ten thousand strings of cash all of a sudden. Compared to him, Godmother is really stingy! "
Madam Qin lamented.
After they saw the newspaper this morning, not only did they come over to help, but they also followed behind to donate some money. Most of them were hundreds or thousands of strings of cash. Although it was not a small amount, it paled in comparison to Cao Wendong's ten thousand strings of cash!
"Godmother, you can't say that. My husband once told me that no matter how good or small it is, as long as there is sincerity, then it is true kindness! Once the heart is touched by kindness, it will be immortal! "
Han Yuxi held Madam Qin's hand and explained with a smile.
"Haha! Sister, listen, this child Xiao Xuan is really talented. Everything he says is so reasonable! Unlike my family's Chou Niu, who is always reckless! "
Madam Cheng patted Madam Qin's arm and said with a smile.
"Auntie, you must be joking. Big Brother Chou Niu is a person who values friendship and righteousness. He is also my husband's good brother! How is he reckless? "
Han Yuxi hurriedly said.
Madam Cheng immediately beamed and said, "Haha! Yuxi, don't speak up for that kid. As his mother, how can I not know what kind of person he is? "
Although she said this, the smile at the corner of her eyes could be seen by everyone. After a while, everyone's good impression of Han Yuxi couldn't help but increase.
This was also a popular policy among the ancient aristocrats. Through the friendship between the mistresses, the relationship between the two families would become stronger.
As they spoke, many people had already donated their money. According to the rules set by Li Zexuan, anyone who donated money to the foundation, no matter how much they donated, would receive a special "certificate" from the Nuan Tang Foundation.
In fact, instead of calling it a "certificate", it was more appropriate to call it a donation certificate. However, Li Zexuan gave it a better name — the Certificate of Honor for Doing Good!
Before today, the workshop had prepared a lot of templates for the Certificate of Honor. The name, donation amount, and donation date were all left blank. After receiving the donation, the staff of the Warm Tang Foundation would fill in the donation information on the 'Certificate of Honor' template and ask the donor to sign and put their thumbprint on it. Then, the foundation would stamp it with a special seal. There were two copies. One would be given to the donor as a souvenir, and the other would be kept in the foundation's records for monthly audit!
In fact, every donation received was recorded in detail in the foundation's account books. The reason why the foundation kept records was to keep an extra "evidence" for future audit. This way, not only could it prevent people from falsifying the accounts to a certain extent, but it would also make people more convinced!
After the citizens donated their money and received the certificate of honor from the Warm Tang Foundation, not only did they not feel the disappointment of losing money, they even felt a trace of satisfaction.
"Hey! This little thing was quite pretty! But what were the words written on it? What kind of honor … honor? "
"Pfft! Wang Mazi, you're so embarrassing. That's the Certificate of Honor for Doing Good! You can't even read. What's the use of that thing? Why don't you give it to me? "
"Ptui! Why should I give it to you? I can't read, but my Sanmao can! I'm going to give this to that kid to prove that his father did a lot of good in the past! "
After donating their money, the citizens were delighted with the Certificate of Honor for Doing Good. They now had something to brag about. At this moment, a scholar-looking middle-aged man suddenly said to Wang Zhong and the others.
"His Highness the Crown Prince donated three thousand strings of string of cash! Steward Wang, please have someone count it! "
Once this was said, the surrounding people were shocked again.
"His Highness the Crown Prince? His Highness the Crown Prince also sent people to donate money? "
"Haha! His Majesty is benevolent, and the Crown Prince is also benevolent. Our Tang Dynasty will only get better and better! "
The citizens' happiness instantly soared.
But what happened next made the commoners' hearts burst with happiness!
"Princess Changle donated three thousand strings of cash!"
"King of Wei donated three thousand strings of cash!"
"King of Han donated one thousand strings of cash!"
"Hejian County donated five thousand strings of cash!"
"Concubine Yang, Concubine Yin, Concubine Yang, and Concubine Wei donated a total of four thousand strings of cash!"
.....
After finding out about the existence of the Warm Tang Charity Fund, all the important figures in the royal family sent people over to donate money. This was because even their 'boss', Li Er, had donated money, so how could they not do anything? Moreover, this was a great opportunity to raise the reputation of the royal family!
Apart from the royal family, the wealthy merchants also donated generously, especially the members of the Flameyellow Chamber of Commerce. They donated the most money.
Needless to say, Cao Wendong donated ten thousand strings of cash. Apart from that, Feng Zhihua donated five thousand strings of cash, Liao Xifan donated three thousand strings of cash, Zhang Jingyang donated three thousand strings of cash, Lin Wenyuan donated three thousand five hundred strings of cash, and Wang Renbiao donated ten thousand strings of cash!
These merchants and landowning households were the first to stand with Li Zexuan. When Li Zexuan established the Warm Tang Charity Foundation, they were also the first to respond to the call!
The effect of them taking the lead was undoubtedly very beneficial to the foundation's development!
Under the influence of Li Er and the other members of the Yan Huang Chamber of Commerce, many commoners who were not from wealthy families had also come to donate money. Although it was a small amount, many a little makes a mickle. There were over a million permanent residents in Chang 'an City. If these people worked together to do something, then the accumulated power was definitely not something to be ignored!
This was not the end.
In the afternoon, at the original workshop of the Strange Taste Pavilion, the headquarters of the Warm Tang Charity Foundation, there was a small wave of people who came to donate money.
This was because when the civil and military officials heard about the charity storm in Chang 'an City, they all sent people to "express their sincerity" regardless of whether their families were rich or not.
Because Li Er had taken the lead in donating money, if they did not do anything, wouldn't that be not giving Old Li face?
Of course, the political environment in the early days of the Tang Dynasty was very clear, so there were still many civil and military officials who sincerely wanted to do good.
"Duke Zhao donated three thousand strings of cash!"
"Elder Xiao donated two thousand strings of cash!"
"Left Minister Wei donated one hundred strings of cash!"
Among the thousands of strings of cash, a hundred strings of cash suddenly popped out. Everyone was stunned, but strangely, no one mocked the donor for being stingy!
"Wow! Left Minister Wei is so generous this time! He actually donated one hundred strings of cash! "
"Yeah! I remember when Marquis Yong 'an's wedding, Left Minister Wei only donated five strings of cash! "
"Heh! Looks like Left Minister Wei really cares about the commoners! "
"Of course!"
