I’m The King Chapter 1314: : Hanqi Tianxia (4) Charity Foundation
The well-known painters in Jicheng have been worth a hundred times their wealth during this period of time. They need to draw a large number of billboards, and then race against time to erect them. Now the construction team has put up the iron frames one by one. Waiting for them to come up with their works!
While Jicheng was still talking about this grand auction, another more shocking news spread rapidly among the political and business circles of Jicheng.
The three princesses established a charity foundation. As the name suggests, this institution, which is still very new in the ears of the Han people, naturally does charity. In the past few years, the three princesses have used their personal money to do it. Good deeds are already the norm, and it is not surprising to set up special institutions to do this kind of thing now. Over the years, the Han Dynasty under the rule of Gao Yuan has become immune to novel institutions that they have never heard of. Power, no wonder the novel.
What makes people of sufficient status in Jicheng crazy is that the date for the establishment of the charity foundation is set on the night before the ceremony, and it will be held in the form of a banquet, but there are only two hundred invitations. There were more than two thousand people who wanted to attend this banquet. Because of the grand ceremony, almost all people with status from all counties and counties in the Han Dynasty gathered here. Getting an invitation card is a symbol of status. It is a very simple assumption. Two businessmen engaged in the same industry, if one gets the invitation and the other doesn't, in the years of competition to come, the other will inevitably come out ahead by a large margin.
The person who distributed the invitations was Mei Pu, the eldest son of the governor of the Dahan Central Bank, who is now in charge of all the businesses of the three princesses.
Soon, Mei Pu's Jicheng mansion also suffered the same fate as Huo Xiaolin, head of the Cultural and Propaganda Department some time ago, and it was even worse than Huo Xiaolin. Those who have the courage to go to Huo Xiaolin's gate are naturally the top figures of the big man, but there are many people who have the courage to come to Meipu's place.
In those few days, among some people in Jicheng, did the greeting when they meet each other stop eating? But did you get the invitation? Of course, those wealthy families don't have to worry about this, Mei Pu will naturally send the invitations to them, and the ones who really compete are those who are equal.
There was a lot of fighting for the invitations outside, but the palace was too busy. Gao Yuan smiled wryly and sat at the small table, watching his three wives rummaging through the room to find out everything they thought something meaningful.
"Brother, you won't have the chance to fight in the battlefield anyway, why don't you just sell that armor? Instead of putting it in the palace, why don't you sell some money to do some good deeds?" Ye Jing'er asked.
"Okay, okay!" Gao Yuan nodded, that armor was his first armor, and it was given to him by Zhang Shubao, the second son of the prefect of Liaoxi, and had been with him for several years. Although it doesn't look like it, it has been treasured by Gao Yuan.
"Wei Yuan, bring the armor here." Ye Jing'er waved her hand. shouted.
"The big sword and military stab are also sold!"
"Okay, let's sell it, anyway, I won't be on the battlefield in the future, out of sight and out of mind." Gao Yuan waved his hands again and again.
Ye Jing'er pursed her lips and smiled. With a wave of his hand, these two items were immediately added to the ranks that will be auctioned. In the past two years, under Gao Yuan's suggestion. She started to do some philanthropic work, and in her opinion, this is also a contribution to Gaoyuan's reputation. But there is a big problem bothering her, that is, not enough money.
In the past, she thought that the brilliance of the big man had already shone in every corner, because what the big man now showed outside was the thriving world, but when she came into contact with the charity industry, when she walked out of the palace , When walking among those people in need of help, she really realized that no matter how bright the sun is, there are dark corners that cannot be illuminated. Even if she just walked around Jicheng, what she saw shocked her.
This is also one of the reasons why she is really determined to devote herself to charity, and when she wants to solve these problems by herself, she realizes that even if she is a princess and the hostess of this kingdom, there are many problems It's not something she can solve. What she can do is to help these people to the best of her ability.
Not enough money is Ye Jinger's most intuitive feeling.
When she talked about this issue to Gao Yuan very distressed, Gao Yuan told her that one person's power is limited, if you can set up an organization and gather more people around you, big guy Doing this together can solve more problems.
Dahan's first charitable foundation was born under such circumstances.
"Brother, will the invitations be sent to those people? Well, I think we should give one to Minister Wang Wudi. He is the Minister of Finance, and we need his support in the future!" Ye Jinger asked. .
"Why invite him? A poor ghost!" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "This charity dinner is called a treat for us, but all the guests invited will bleed. If this guy comes, it will be in vain. I can't get a penny for a seat, and I have to eat my meal for free, so naturally I don't invite him."
Ye Jing'er was amused by Gao Yuan and laughed, "You don't want to see him so much, why don't you withdraw his position?"
"Whether I like him or not is one thing, but his incompetence is another. As a finance minister, he is the most suitable candidate." Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "The selection of officials cannot be left to chance. It depends on whether he is suitable for this position, at least until now, I have not found a more suitable candidate for the Minister of Finance than him."
"That's true." Ye Jing'er nodded, "I don't know how much money we can raise this time? Brother, I used to think that all of us big men were living happily, but after walking some places, we finally I found that this is not the case at all, this is still around Jicheng, there are still so many poor people, one can imagine the situation in those remote areas." Thinking of what she saw, Ye Jinger was deeply moved. Feeling authentic.
"Yes, no matter how hard we try, it is impossible to take care of everyone. There will always be people who are forgotten. Your charitable foundation will check for omissions and fill in the gaps in the future."
"But even with this charitable foundation, the number of people we can help is limited. We are so big." Ye Jinger shook her head and sighed.
"You are just the beginning, I believe there will be more people doing this in the future." Gao Yuan stroked Ye Jing'er's fragrant shoulders, "Although you can only help some people, you can play a big role." Demonstration."
"That's right, we have so many rich people." Ye Jing'er nodded in agreement, "It's really unbelievable that you can sell a naming right for 1.02 million yuan, those sea merchants are really rich. This Meipu should have invited them once, right?"
"Of course, I will definitely invite you." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "In the future, maritime merchants will become the richest group of people in this country. But this time, I am also looking forward to how much money you can raise."
The couple were talking, Zhiyuan ran in all the way, carrying a few things in his hand, "Father, Mother." Gao Zhiyuan put the things in his hand on the table, "The second lady said that we all have to take Some things are sold, and the money from the sale is used to help the poor, this is my share."
Gao Yuan glanced at it, good guy, Zhiyuan brought some of his most precious things, and one of the machetes inlaid with a huge gem was brought back by Kou Shuguang when he went overseas. My baby is usually his favorite thing.
"Are you willing to use your knife?" Gao Yuan laughed as he played with the knife.
"My mother is often troubled by lack of money, and once I went out with my mother, I saw how pitiful some people are, so I also want to do my part for the Han Kingdom." Eight-year-old Gao Zhiyuan Yang Started, looked at his father and said.
Gao Yuan laughed loudly, and picked up his son, "Good son, you can actually think of sharing your parents' worries. It seems that you have made some progress in your studies now. Yes, yes, this knife will definitely sell A good price."
"Of course!" Gao Zhiyuan said proudly, then glanced at Gao Yuan's dark, inconspicuous army thorn on the table, and said with disdain: "Father, you are so stingy, isn't this just an ordinary knife?" Knife, how much can you sell it for? Who would want it? And this tattered Kaijia, father, are you willing to take it out?"
This sentence made everyone in the room laugh.
"Son, believe it or not, the final selling price of this military stab that you despise is at least ten times that of your knife." Gao Yuan smiled.
"I don't believe it~IndoMTL.com~Gao Zhiyuan shook his head.
"Son, you have to remember that sometimes the preciousness of something is not the thing itself, but the other value added to it." Gao Yuan said with a smile. "For example, your knife may be worth one thousand taels of silver, but because you have played with it since childhood, it may be worth five thousand taels, because you are the prince of the Han Kingdom. Do you understand?"
Gao Zhiyuan nodded his head half-understood.
Gao Yuan stood up and stroked the tattered armor next to him, "This armor was the first armor your father and I had when we were not yet developed. It accompanied me through the most difficult years. Every piece of armor on it The scars are all his medals. If it weren’t for your mother’s charity fund, I would be reluctant to take it out! Because he contains my memory, son, this is the most valuable, because he is the only one and cannot be copied of."
"Brother, you are so reluctant, forget it and I don't want it." Looking at Gao Yuan's expression, Ye Jing'er suddenly felt sad, and Gao Yuan's words also reminded her of the difficult years back then.
"No, sell, let them make use of their residual heat, and if they can make a little more contribution to the people of Dahan, if they are really spiritual, they will be happy too." Gao Yuan waved his hand and said loudly. (to be continued...)
