"What? There's actually such a thing? "
Dragon Gate Inn, in a room on the second floor.
Lin Wenyuan was slightly shocked when he heard the servant say that the commoners outside the inn were clamoring to come in and donate money.
Xiao Yu muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "Let's go! Let's go out and take a look! "
Lin Wenyuan naturally had no objections. Then, under the servant's lead, the two of them went down the stairs and quickly arrived outside the inn. They saw that the open space outside the inn was filled with all sorts of people. These people had been outside the inn to 'watch the show' earlier, but they didn't immediately leave after the donation gathering ended. Many of them felt empty in their hearts, as if something was missing. Immediately after, a scholar in the crowd stepped forward and wanted to enter the inn, but he was stopped by the inn's guards. The guards said that the inn wasn't receiving guests today, but the scholar said that he wasn't here to stay but to donate money!
This made things very difficult for the guards!
Because this donation gathering was only open to merchants, the youth in front of them was clearly a scholar. Moreover, the donation gathering had already ended, so the guards knew that Lin Wenyuan was definitely ordering people to count the money in the inn. At such a critical moment, how could they let some unrelated people in? If something happened, they couldn't bear the responsibility!
Therefore, no matter what the scholar said, the guards in front of the inn refused to budge an inch. The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of the crowd outside the inn. After the crowd asked for the reason, they all began to support the scholar, because what the scholar said was exactly what they were thinking. That's right, most of them also wanted to donate!
Although these people weren't as rich as the merchants, just as Lin Wenyuan had said at the start of the donation gathering, "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of all citizens! The Great Tang is not the Great Tang of a single person, but the Great Tang of millions of people. Now that the country is facing a crisis, if we don't prioritize righteousness over righteousness, how can we talk about benefits in the future? Even the merchants, who had always prioritized benefits over righteousness in the eyes of the secular world, could be so generous when the country was in danger. If these people still remained indifferent, wouldn't they be even more prioritizing benefits over righteousness than the merchants?
In the beginning, there were only a few people who agreed with the scholar, but slowly, more and more people joined in. Half an hour later, there were nearly one thousand people blocking the entrance of Dragon Gate Inn!
Seeing that the situation was about to spiral out of control, the guard at the entrance of the inn hurriedly sent someone to inform Lin Wenyuan.
When Xiao Yu and Lin Wenyuan arrived at the entrance of the inn, this was the scene that greeted them.
"Boss Lin is out!"
"Great! Boss Lin is out! "
Seeing Lin Wenyuan walk out, there was a commotion in the crowd. In their opinion, Lin Wenyuan was definitely more reasonable than the guards at the door. Moreover, Lin Wenyuan had the right to decide if they wanted to donate money!
"This … Elder Xiao has also come out!"
Soon, the crowd noticed the dignified old man wearing a scarlet official's robe beside Lin Wenyuan. Many people had seen Xiao Yu before the donation gathering, so he was quickly recognized.
The crowd, which had been noisy a moment ago, immediately quieted down. They were just ordinary people. They didn't have to fear Lin Wenyuan, but they had to respect Xiao Yu, a high official of the imperial court!
