"No wonder ......" Merton suddenly suddenly, no wonder Li Chengqian was missing.

"It's hard to come out, Weichen remembers that there is a newly opened shop in front of me, which is full of good treasures, Her Royal Highness the princess might as well go and take a look, and choose a few treasures for His Majesty and the queen mother, in order to fulfill filial piety." Merton suggested.

Merton knew that Princess Changle was a little rich woman, and the ice cream shops in Chang'an and Luoyang could be described as making money every day.

"Forget it!"

However, to Merton's surprise, Princess Changle shook her head, this is not Princess Changle's style.

"Changle's sister's money has been used to help the victims." Ziyi suddenly interjected.

"Relief for the victims?" Merton was surprised.

Princess Changle explained: "Although the flood of the Yellow River is relatively light this time, the money required is not a small amount, in addition to the disaster relief funds of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, my father also took out a lot of internal funds, and the palaces in the palace have also reduced their use to help the victims, and the money in my hands is useless, so I will give it to my father to help the victims." ”

Merton suddenly realized, no matter whether Li Shimin bought people's hearts or cared about the world, but Li Shimin did set an example by example, although it was simple but extremely practical, Princess Changle also saw Li Shimin do this, and just followed suit.

"The princess is merciful, and the minister is ashamed." The main lord is in front of him, and of course Merton keeps sending good words.

"Changle is just a little bit of a fine effort, and it's not as good as Lord Mo's great contribution to saving the Yellow River." Changle Hao Ran said.

The two of them saw that the more they talked, the more official they became, and Ziyi said impatiently: "Don't praise each other, Sister Changle, what do you like?" Let the young master pay, he can give it up now, and he doesn't care about the ten or twenty gold ingots.

Ziyi said unceremoniously to Merton, Mojia Village has always been laissez-faire to Merton, and Merton did not disappoint them, but on the grand event in the Western Regions, Merton's spending of money really scared everyone in Mojia Village.

Although it was later proved that what Merton did was indeed worth the money, it was not a copper coin but a gold ingot! The older generation of Mojia Village almost every day whispered in the ears of Moton about the arduous years of the Mojia ancestors, which made Merton very annoying.

Mo Dun suddenly smiled embarrassedly, and quickly changed the topic: "What does the princess like, although she orders, it is Wei Chen's intention to do her best for the emperor and queen. ”

"Or not! My father and queen mother were spending money on disaster relief, and if they saw us buying luxury things, I would not be happy. Princess Changle shook her head.

Ziyi suddenly had an idea and said, "Why don't we give this money to the victims?" Although I have little money, but I also have a few hundred, which will definitely allow many victims to tide over the difficulties, if it is really not enough, I can also go back to Mojia Village, and the uncles and uncles in Mojia Village will definitely be willing to pay. ”

Thinking of the excitement, Ziyi couldn't help but dance, as a child of the Mo family, the idea of loving each other has been in his heart since he was a child.

Princess Changle couldn't help but be moved, and couldn't help but look at Merton, she knew that Merton had always paid a lot of attention.

Merton, however, smiled wryly and shook his head slowly.

"Why not, we have the money and are willing to help these affected people, why not, watching so many people suffer, but the Mo family is indifferent, isn't it against the concept of the Mo family." Ziyi said unconvinced.

Merton explained: "Disaster relief is the behavior of the capital government since ancient times, and it has been the case in all dynasties, and personal disaster relief is the local squire boiling some gruel for disaster relief, even if this is something that the local rich family can do, not the Mo family who are thousands of miles away." ”

"Why is that?" Ziyi was puzzled.

"Since ancient times, catastrophes are easy to cause chaos, if someone buys people's hearts in the name of disaster relief in the disaster area, I'm afraid it will be ......" Merton did not continue, but Ziyi and Princess Changle both understood Merton's meaning, if the disaster relief people took the opportunity to make trouble, I am afraid it would be a huge rebellion. And the status of the Mo family is embarrassing, and if they rush to provide disaster relief, I am afraid it will cause criticism.

In ancient times, especially after Confucianism, all dynasties proclaimed the implementation of benevolent government, so the work of buying people's hearts and minds fell on the head of the government.

Even Song Jing, a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, said directly: "It is not okay for people and ministers to be selfish, the country is kind, and it is very good at governance." "Even if an ordinary person has good intentions, it is an act of buying people's hearts and minds, and it is not allowed. And even if the government doesn't do it properly, it is good governance.

The Mo family has a special status, if you rush to provide disaster relief, I am afraid that you will be labeled as buying people's hearts by people with intentions, and when the time comes, the mud will fall into the crotch of your pants, and it will be nothing or that.

"Then we just watched the suffering of the victims and did nothing? The homes of those victims were destroyed, and now they are sleeping in the wilderness, lacking food and clothing, which must be very pitiful. Ziyi was a little anxious to cry, he was also kind-hearted, and wanted to do something good, but found it so difficult.

Princess Changle was also silent for a moment, and the ultimate reason for this matter was still on the royal family. She received a royal education since she was a child, so she naturally knew the reasons why the imperial court did this.

Merton nodded regretfully and said: "If one side is in trouble, all sides will support, in fact, there are many people who are willing to help these disaster victims." How could these citizens who could cheer for the victory of the Yellow River be stingy in helping those disaster victims, even if it was a penny per person, it would be hundreds of thousands of dollars, and even if each household donated an old piece of clothing, those disaster victims would not be cold and cold. ”

The more Merton spoke, the more excited he became, although these forces were small, but when they all came together, it must be a huge and extremely large force, and in order to maintain their rule, the dynasties would rather waste these civil charities, or even stifle these forces.

"How great if there was a person who could not be feared by the rulers and could harness the power of charity among the people?" Merton clenched his fists hatefully, he was full of blood, but he was restrained everywhere.

Suddenly, Merton's gaze fixed on Princess Changle on the side, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Why didn't he think that Princess Changle, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, would definitely not be feared by the imperial court, and she also had a huge appeal, wouldn't she be the best spokesperson for folk charity.

"Young Master!" Ziyi looked at Merton dissatisfied, it was extremely rude for him to stare at Princess Changle like this.

However, Merton didn't notice it at all, and walked quickly in front of Princess Changle and said excitedly: "You really want to help these victims? ”

Princess Changle's heart moved, and she suddenly knew that Merton had an idea, and nodded solemnly.

"Then Her Royal Highness the Princess can set up a Red Cross." Merton said with a holy face.
