"The Red Cross Society?" Princess Changle was confused.
Meton nodded and said, "Since Your Highness has entered the Women's Medical College, you must know the symbol of Mo Hospital!"
Princess Changle was moved and nodded immediately. The red cross was embroidered on the clothes of everyone in Mo Hospital, in the ambulance, and even on the clothes of all the staff of Mo Hospital.
Now, when the people of Chang 'an saw the red cross, they knew it was the symbol of Mo Hospital.
"So, the so-called Red Cross Society belongs to the medical school?" Princess Changle asked.
Meton nodded and then shook his head and said, "Every major disaster is the time when people's lives are most vulnerable. Therefore, the most important person of the Red Cross Society is to rescue the people who are in danger. Therefore, the medical school plays the most important role. But other than that, the Red Cross Society can do a lot of things. For example, relieving the extremely poor and rebuilding homes for the disaster-stricken areas … "
Meton described the various functions of the Red Cross Society in the future.
Princess Changle and Zi Yi were shocked with their mouths wide open. They didn't expect the plan mentioned by Meton so casually was so huge.
"Young Master, this is a great plan. With the Red Cross Society, the disaster-stricken people in Henan Province will definitely get through the crisis safely," Zi Yi said excitedly.
However, Princess Changle was not so optimistic. Instead, with a bitter smile, she stated, "Marquis Mo's plan is admittedly good. However, the amount of money required is truly too great. I fear that even Imperial Father would not be able to take out such an enormous sum of money."
She was just a princess and she was afraid that she couldn't afford such a huge amount of money.
Zi Yi's face suddenly became gloomy. It was true. Even if the Mo Family gave all they had, it would be just a drop in the bucket.
"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about this. Once the Red Cross Society is established, it will not only be the people of Chang 'an who will donate money. Luoyang, Bianzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, and even all the cities of the Tang dynasty will have branches of the Red Cross Society. At that time, the people of the Tang dynasty will definitely donate a huge amount of money to the Tang dynasty." Merton said.
Meton wasn't exaggerating at all. He had personally experienced the calamities of the later generations and knew how powerful the power of the people was.
Princess Changle couldn't help but be moved. She was still very confident in Meton's ability. If that was the case, then the problem of money would naturally be easily solved.
"However, for the sake of the credibility and fairness of the Red Cross Society, every donation made by the Red Cross Society, including the donor, the amount of the donation, the purpose of the donation, the handler, and the beneficiary, must be made public. Otherwise, if the Red Cross Society is used by people with ulterior motives, not only will it damage the reputation of the Princess, but it will also affect the livelihood of countless victims," Meton added after some thought.
Of course, Meton believed in Princess Changle's character, but he could not guarantee the same for others, including the future princesses of the Tang dynasty. If he could set a rule because of this, it would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
Princess Changle was shocked when she heard this. She solemnly said, "Of course!"
Since she had said so, she naturally agreed to establish the Red Cross Society. It was not only because Princess Changle wanted to help share the burden of her Imperial Father, but also because she herself was an extremely kind-hearted person. To be able to help so many people was naturally for the best.
"In that case, how many people will the Red Cross Society need?" Zi Yi clicked her tongue.
Meton explained, "No matter how many people there are, there is no need to be afraid. The purpose of the Red Cross Society is disaster relief. Naturally, there will be people who donate money and things. Naturally, there will also be people who volunteer to help. We can call these people volunteers. I believe that there are many people in the Tang dynasty who are kind and willing to help the victims."
"Volunteers?" Princess Changle's beautiful eyes turned, and the corner of her mouth revealed a playful smile, "Then I wonder if Marquis Merton is willing to be the first volunteer of the Red Cross Society."
Meton suddenly froze when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would be trapped in the end.
Meton gritted his teeth and braced himself to say, "For the sake of the victims, it is my duty to do so."
The whole Chang 'an City was in a carnival. However, no one knew that at an ordinary intersection of Vermilion Bird Avenue, an organization that could influence the Tang dynasty was quietly established.
After a night of revelry, Chang 'an City returned to its usual peace. However, a small change quietly took place.
At the gate of the Imperial College.
Meton and three yawning teenagers stood at the gate of the Imperial College. In front of them, there was a sign with a red cross.
Qin Huaiyu and the other two could be said to have had too much fun last night. Until now, they had only slept for four hours.
However, early in the morning, Meton found Qin Huaiyu and the other two and told them about the significance and important mission of the Red Cross Society.
The three hot-blooded teenagers immediately nodded and agreed, so the volunteer organization immediately grew three times.
"Meton, do you think it is necessary for us to collect donations in this place?" Qin Huaiyu asked awkwardly. He couldn't help but look at the volunteer armband on his arm.
"Of course. The place we are most familiar with is the Imperial College. We know most of the students here. How can we not bring them to such a good thing?" Meton said righteously.
Cheng Chumo immediately curled his lips. He didn't believe Meton's nonsense. The students of the Imperial College didn't have much of a relationship with Meton. Many of them even had conflicts before. Perhaps Meton's action was to take revenge on these students and deliberately make them pay.
Cheng Chumo wrongly blamed Meton. Meton didn't think of collecting donations from the Imperial College students. In Meton's opinion, the students of the Imperial College were very similar to the college students of the future. They didn't have money, but they had free time. Moreover, they were all hot-blooded teenagers. If Meton promoted the idea, the number of volunteers would definitely snowball. After all, the large number of volunteers in the future were mostly college students.
Moreover, the students of the Imperial College were the future officials of the Empire. They had a lot of credibility. If they could collect donations on the streets, the effect would naturally be good.
Although Meton knew that the Red Cross Society had many benefits, he also knew that the reason it was so effective was because of the large number of volunteers. Therefore, if he wanted to develop the Red Cross Society, the first task was to develop a volunteer team.
"Quick, someone is coming. Hurry up and put up the banners," Meton hurriedly ordered.
Immediately, Qin Huaiyu and the other two hung up the banners that Meton had already prepared.
"When one side is in trouble, help from all sides!"
"Lend a helping hand in times of crisis. Love is merciless in the flood."
"Fighting floods and disaster relief. Unity is an impregnable fortress."
