Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1811: The fundraising meeting! (Top)
"Sun catching head, what are you guys...?"
The arrival of the county government's nearly 100 government officials naturally attracted the attention of Lin Wenyuan, the "host" of this fundraising meeting. He hurried forward and looked at Sun Butou.
Lantian County is the fief of Li Zexuan, and the "host" of today's fundraising conference is Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, and the sponsor behind the scenes is Li Zexuan, so Lin Wenyuan will naturally not mistakenly think that so many people with Sun Butou are here to smash the place. It’s just that he didn’t expect that Lantian County, as a government official, would actually send people here today. After all, the fundraiser mainly invited businessmen!
"Master Lin, Sun was ordered by the county magistrate to bring people to maintain law and order to ensure that the fundraising meeting is held smoothly. Ahem! There are more people here, so please don’t be offended by Master Lin!" /
Sun Cattou hugged Lin Wenyuan very politely and said.
After hearing this, Lin Wenyuan hurriedly said: "Where is Sun Catching Head? This fundraising meeting involves a lot of money. The county government can send people to it. Naturally, Lin can't ask for it. Why can't you say anything? I will invite Sun Cattou to go in later. Use tea!"
As a businessman, if Lin Wenyuan stayed in the past, when would he not nod and bow his waist and lower his breath in front of officials? Now that he has become a major member of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce and is protected by Li Zexuan, his waist can't help but straighten up. But this is the case, he does not dare to make any conceited, arrogant and domineering actions, because he knows who has given him everything he has now. He now deals with people in the officialdom, adhering to the principle of "not humble or overbearing, and people respect him." "He respects others" principle! It will neither humiliate the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, nor cause trouble for the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce for no reason!
"Hehe! Master Lin is welcome, Sun is just a rough man. It is Sun's duty to protect this Longmen Inn today, so you don't have to worry about Sun! The county magistrate will come in person later! "
Sun Catch head smiled and clasped his fists towards Lin Wenyuan, said.
Hearing this, Lin Wenyuan was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect that the county government not only sent head catchers to maintain law and order, but later even the county magistrate He would come in person. This was a fundraising meeting initiated by the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce for business people. Ah, isn't the county magistrate He coming here to be afraid of being talked about with his sensitive identity?
Although I thought so in my heart, Lin Wenyuan said calmly and respectfully: "Sun catching his head is really fulfilling his duty, then Lin will go to entertain the guests, and when the county magistrate comes, Lin must personally Welcome~!"
At this moment, there was a burst of exclamation among the crowd, and then the crowd of onlookers voluntarily gave way to a path, and saw an official wearing a purple official uniform with a golden belt on his waist. Eight small officials, walking towards Longmen Inn!
Looking at the color of the official uniform of the leader, it turned out to be an official of Grade 3 or above!
"Oh~! Where did the official come from?"
"It looks like it's from Chang'an!"
"Huh? Isn't this Xiao Shangshu?"
"What did Xiao Ge do here?"
The people onlookers talked in a whisper.
It’s not that they haven’t seen a high official. Even the emperor has ever been to Lantian County. They are only three-rank or higher officials, all of whom are important court officials. Now that the fundraising meeting is about to be held, a third-rank official suddenly came here. It's inevitable that everyone can't help but whisper!
Lin Wenyuan was shocked, and hurriedly greeted all the members of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce who were present today, bowed and saluted: "Lin Wenyuan of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, I have seen Xiao Shangshu~!"
"Cao Wendong (Feng Zhihua, Zheng Qianjun, Liao Xifan) of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, I have seen Xiao Shangshu~!"
"You don't have to be polite!"
Xiao Yun paused and waved his hands to everyone. Then he looked at Lin Wenyuan and said: "The official is hereby ordered to take over the money from the fundraising meeting. Once the fundraising meeting is over, the household department will pay the money. All are registered and then shipped back to Chang'an. Boss Lin, when will this fundraising meeting begin?"
Li Er did let people from the Ministry of Households come over to receive the donations from the fundraising meeting, but Li Er did not say to let Xiao Yu come here in person. In fact, for this kind of thing, Xiao Yu only needs to send a few "brothers" to him That's fine, but the old man previously made a bet with Li Er, and the bet was whether this fundraising meeting could raise 150,000 troops. He naturally wanted to come and see in person!
Businessmen value profits. Xiao Yu still doesn’t feel that those merchants will generously donate to the court because this matter does not benefit them at all. At this moment, he is already thinking about the fundraising conference if it does not raise enough military funds. Where should the imperial court go to get this money? After all, Li Er's edict has been sent to all states and counties, and the elite soldiers of the prefectures are gathering in Chang'an. It is an indisputable fact that the army of the Northern Expedition has increased by 150,000. As a householder, he naturally has to find ways to raise military funds!
The old man Xiao did not know that calling on merchants to raise military funds for the country was only Li Zexuan’s first method. Even if it failed, Li Zexuan would recruit 10,000 later to make up for it, such as borrowing money from the court through Yanhuang Bank, or the court. Issue war bonds to the civilians, and once the war is won, the money will be returned to the people with interest and so on.
Every last move can easily solve the current dilemma of the imperial court. The reason why Li Zexuan prioritized the use of fundraising was to use this opportunity to arouse the patriotism of the people of Datang. The next national war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will create momentum!
Historical experience tells us that only by mobilizing the masses of the people extensively and winning the support of the people, can war be invincible!
At this time, Lin Wenyuan looked at the sundial in front of the Longmen Inn. It was a little short of the three-quarters agreed before, but he couldn’t let Xiao Yu, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, stand outside and wait. After all, Xiao Yu had experienced it. The elders of several dynasties held a heavy position in the court, so he bowed his hands and said: "The fundraising meeting will begin soon, Xiao Shangshu, please come in!"
After that, he ordered to the left and right: "Open the door~! invite all the guests to take their seats~!"
"Yes! Master!"
Lin's little girl bowed to lead the order, and hurried to open the door of the inn. Lin Wenyuan and others invited Xiao Yu to enter first. Xiao Yu did not refuse. When he entered the lobby on the first floor of the inn, Xiao Yu couldn't help but exclaimed. "Boss Lin, this inn is really magnificent. It is not inferior to Yanhuang Academy. It is generous! It is worthy of being the first inn in Lantian County!"
As busy as Xiao Yu, on weekdays, I naturally don't have time to visit this Longmen Inn in Lantian County. For Longmen Inn, he heard its name but never saw him. When I first saw it today, I would naturally be amazed!
"Xiao Shangshu has a good reputation, how can this inn compare with the sacred places of the literary world like Yanhuang Academy? Please come to your seat~!"
While talking, everyone had already arrived in the hall, and Lin Wenyuan pointed to the top position and invited Xiao Yu.
Here is the highest status of Xiao Yu, and there is nothing wrong with inviting him to the table!
Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "This official is just watching. Boss Lin has to host this fundraising meeting. How can this official take the lead?"
After that, he took a few small officials from the household department and walked towards the first row on the left.
Lin Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Yu’s arrival caught him off guard. If the other party wanted to intervene in the fundraising meeting, he really had no good countermeasures. After all, Li Zexuan was not here. He was a merchant, how to go. Against a court official like Xiao Yu?
At this time, Xiao Yu allowed the first seat and took the initiative to sit down, undoubtedly expressing his attitude to Lin Wenyuan. In this fundraising meeting, Xiao Yu was only responsible for "counting money" and would not interfere with the process!
"Go prepare some fruit refreshments and send them to Xiao Shangshu! Oh, go and take out the fairy tea collected by the old man, and make a pot of Xiao Shangshu~!"
Repaying a peach for a plum, Lin Wenyuan ordered the servant next to him.
"Yes! Master!"
The young man took the order and left.
At this time, outside the inn, there are already long tables on both sides. Merchants who come to participate in the fundraising meeting must "sign in" here and indicate the amount of donation. Of course, in order to verify their identity, they need to attend the meeting. The person named the store deed of the next store. After everything is ready, the "staff" will return to the other party a rectangular sign with the number of donations, the donor and the representative store, so that they can enter.
The main purpose of this move is to improve the efficiency of the fundraising meeting. Although the lobby on the first floor of Longmen Inn is large, its capacity is limited after all. It is impossible for all the people outside to come in.
In a short time as a freshman, the county magistrate He of Lantian County also came with a group of officials from the county government. With Xiao Yu, a third-rank officer in front, Lin Wenyuan was not so sincere and frightened when he greeted the county magistrate. However, he deliberately arranged the position of He County Commander next to Xiao Yu, which made He County Commander glance at him with admiration.
At six quarters, all merchants outside the inn had all "checked in" and took their seats in the lobby. At a glance, there were a total of six to seven hundred people. As for those who haven't come, after a while, as long as the fundraising conference is not over, they can still come in after "signing in" to verify their identity. This is where the fundraising conference is humanized.
It is worth mentioning that Li Yu also came with reporters from the editorial department of "Datang Daily". Of course, their purpose is not to donate money, but to record this patriotic event. Fortunately tomorrow It was published in the newspaper to promote it.
In the hot summer, the lobby on the first floor of Longmen Inn was extremely cool, because buckets of ice were placed around the lobby, and in front of each bucket, there was a maid holding a cat fan and fanning the wind. It is the "human-shaped air conditioner", so ~IndoMTL.com~ everyone in the lobby will naturally not feel the heat!
Listening to Xiaosi’s report that all the outside businessmen have entered, Lin Wenyuan walked to the front of the crowd. He held the latest amplifier developed by Qiquge Workshop, which is also a hand-held speaker, facing everyone:
"All friends from the business community should be called today to raise military funds for the country. Old man Lin Wenyuan, on behalf of the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, on behalf of Hou Ye, thank you all!"
Although Lin Wenyuan did not shout hysterically, his voice was resounding throughout the audience. The businessmen who were still whispering to each other just now quieted down. After Lin Wenyuan spoke, he faced everyone in front. Bowed deeply, with a pious attitude and sincere expression!
This fundraising conference is not only beneficial to the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce, it is more beneficial to the court and the people of the world, but Lin Wenyuan can only represent the Yanhuang Chamber of Commerce now. As for the court and the people of the world, with his courage, he Don't dare to represent.
"Boss Lin doesn't need to be polite, the nation is responsible for the rise and fall of the country~!"
At this moment, there was a loud voice in the room.
As soon as this remark came out, many people immediately echoed:
"Yes, that's right! The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of all people. I want to do my best for Datang when I come here!"
"Yes, it is extremely! Without stability in the country, what business does my generation of merchants do? Boss Lin does not have to be polite, I am doing my best for the country, but also for myself~!"
The echoing voices of the people one after another made Xiao Yu couldn't help but move slightly. He didn't expect these merchants to have such a high level of consciousness, whether these people came from sincere or fake, but now that they can enter the Longmen Inn today, it means that they really are. Come to donate money, this is real money!
