"Husband, the total is out! Yesterday, our Nuan Tang Foundation received a total of 250,000 strings of cash! The warehouse at the Qiqu Pavilion workshop is almost half full! "
In the morning, after breakfast, Han Yuxi held an account book and said happily to Li Zexuan.
This could be considered her first career. She had always been walking on thin ice in her heart. In the end, after the first day, not only did she not make any mistakes, but she also gained a lot. This made her very happy.
Li Zexuan pretended to sigh sadly. "Sigh! 250,000 strings of cash! How many coal stoves and honeycomb briquettes do we have to give away for free! "
Han Yuxi said angrily, "Husband! Aren't we doing a good deed? Besides, you were the one who suggested this idea before! Why? Are you regretting it now? "
Li Zexuan laughed and said, "Haha! I'm just teasing you! How can I go back on my word? "
Han Yuxi rolled her eyes. She thought for a moment and said to Li Zexuan seriously, "Husband, now that the donation has been paid, our workshop has to hurry up and prepare the coal stoves and honeycomb briquettes! Otherwise, people will say that we only accept money and don't do anything! "
Li Zexuan nodded slightly. He stood up and said with his hands behind his back, "Don't worry, my wife. The workshop is already producing coal stoves and honeycomb briquettes! Moreover, Faubert is still recruiting workers these few days. The farmers near Chang 'an City who are free have basically all been recruited to help! There are also some refugees from other places who are also being recruited to the workshop! Although those people don't have much skill, they don't need skill to make honeycomb briquettes. They only need strength! "
Han Yuxi smiled and said, "Yes! This way, not only can we speed up production, but we can also increase the income of the people! Husband, you are doing a good deed! "
Li Zexuan said half-jokingly, "Hehe! Wife, don't you think your husband is comparable to the Great Philanthropist of Nine Lives now? Even if I want to die, the King of Hell would probably be too embarrassed to accept me, right? "
"Bah bah bah! Why are you talking about death for no reason? Hubby, you promised this concubine that we would be together for the rest of our lives! "
Han Yuxi panicked and hurriedly covered Li Zexuan's mouth as she said angrily.
Li Zexuan removed his wife's hand and laughed, "Haha! Fine, fine, fine. But is a lifetime not enough? That's two lifetimes! "
"Cough cough!"
While the two of them were speaking shamelessly, a dry cough suddenly came from behind them. Li Zexuan turned his head and saw Ye Fashan standing behind with an awkward expression.
"Uh … Cousin, I have something to talk to you about. I wonder if it's convenient for you now!"
Only God knew how Ye Fashan, who had just finished his breakfast, was feeling at this moment. However, it was impossible to tell what the child was thinking just by looking at his face!
"It's convenient! Of course it was convenient! Monk, come and have a seat! "
Li Zexuan had high hopes for this little cousin of his. Some important people had already shown that they were different from others when they were young. Ye Fashan belonged to this group of people.
Han Yuxi was a little shy at first when she was caught speaking sweet nothings. However, when she saw that it was Ye Fashan, her expression quickly returned to normal. After Ye Fashan came in, Han Yuxi turned around to pour a cup of hot water. She smiled and said, "Monk, let's sit down and talk! Come, it's cold. Drink some hot water! "
Ye Fashan took the cup and was flattered. "Mm, thank you, cousin-in-law!"
Han Yuxi said, "You're welcome."
Ye Fashan then looked at Li Zexuan and said, "Cousin, after yesterday, the Nuan Tang Foundation should have received a lot of donations, right?"
Li Zexuan nodded and said, "Mm! That's right! Preliminary calculations show that it's about 250,000 strings of cash! "
Even though he was mentally prepared, when he heard this number, Ye Fashan could not help but be shocked. He widened his eyes and said, "So much? Then, cousin, when do you plan to use this money to officially do good deeds? "
Li Zexuan thought for a while and answered, "In two days. Why? Monk, do you have any suggestions? "
Ye Fashan shook his head and said, "I don't have any suggestions. Cousin, you have more experience in this area than I do! I just want to help you run some errands when the time comes! This can be considered as doing good deeds! "
"Haha! No problem! Actually, when the time comes, there will be a lot of things to do. For example, investigating the poor farmers in the villages, delivering coal stoves and honeycomb briquettes to them, and recording the accounts. All these require manpower. Monk, if you're willing to come and help, that's the best! "
"I'll do my best!"
…
In the morning, when the morning court was about to end, Li Zexuan took the carriage and went to the palace again.
After the eunuch reported his arrival, Li Zexuan met Li Er in the Ganlu Hall.
"What's wrong? You've been running to the palace recently. In the past, when you saw me, you couldn't wait to take a detour. What's wrong with you now? Have you changed? "
Li Er raised his head and joked with him.
Li Zexuan's face was instantly filled with black lines. He said gloomily, "Your Majesty, you've misunderstood me. You have a lot of things to do every day. You're responsible for the entire Tang Empire. If I were to disturb you for no reason, wouldn't I become a sinner of the Tang Empire?"
Li Er laughed and said, "You're such a smooth-talker! Alright, let's cut the small talk and get down to business! "
Li Zexuan then said seriously, "Your Majesty, the Warm Tang Foundation received a total of 249,816 strings of coins yesterday. I plan to distribute coal stoves and honeycomb briquettes to the poor in two days' time!"
Li Er was stunned and said in surprise, "Almost 250,000 strings of coins? That much? "
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "This is only yesterday's amount. I think there will be more in the future!"
Li Er came back to his senses and said, "Do you have enough manpower? Do you need me to send some people over to help you? "
Li Zexuan replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have enough people under me. However, when the time comes to distribute coal stoves and honeycomb briquettes, I will need the help of the county magistrates!"
Although Xiao Yu was in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and managed the "household registration" of the entire Tang Empire's people, it was more convenient to find the local county magistrate. After all, a county magistrate was better than a county magistrate!
There were more than 20 counties under Chang 'an City. In terms of rank and merit, Li Zexuan was indeed higher than those county magistrates. However, everything had to be done properly. Without Li Zexuan's special permission, those county magistrates had no obligation to cooperate with Li Zexuan.
That was because they did not have a direct subordinate relationship with Li Zexuan!
Li Er nodded and said, "I'll give you an imperial edict. You can take this imperial edict and get all the county magistrates near Chang 'an City to cooperate with you!"
Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Hmm? Is there anything else? "
Seeing that Li Zexuan had no intention of leaving, Li Er took the initiative to ask.
