The first heart-to-heart talk between Emperor Yuan Qing and Wei Shu was relatively successful. The two reached an agreement on the issue of Brother Cheng. He was recruited into the palace to be his companion, and he was not allowed to use inducements until Brother Cheng was 16 years old. If Brother Cheng did not like him as he did in his previous life, then Wei Shu had to choose to let go.

Although the last point seemed impossible to Wei Shu, he still agreed.

At the end of the alone time between father and son, Emperor Yuan Qing put Wei Shu down: "Do you want to see your mother?"

Wei Shu froze for a moment, then finally shook his head.

When he was first reborn, he missed his mother and wanted to see her very much, but after these few months passed, he already figured it out, the mother in this world is no longer the mother in the previous life, so what if seeing her, it will only add to the sadness.

"That's all." Emperor Yuan Qing actually didn't agree with him. After knowing who his mother was through Wei Shu's heartfelt voice, he specially sent someone to investigate. He got married a month ago, and he married the son of his father's colleague. Two years ago, he was sent to Suzhou with her husband.

According to the investigation, the two husbands and wives are affectionate and harmonious. They have two sons and one daughter, and they are living a very good life. Miss Zheng Wu is well-known in the local area for being gentle and virtuous. She is even the leader of the Salesian Bureau in Suzhou Prefecture.

After reading the information, the Emperor Yuan Qing couldn't believe that Miss Zheng Wu was the same person as the harsh and paranoid queen mother in Wei Shu's heart, but the facts proved that they were indeed the same person. Seeing Brother Cheng's reason, his mother has changed so much, Brother Cheng may not not change.

Gao Yan’s joy of having a son didn’t last long. A few days later, there was an urgent report from Hebei. It rained continuously along the Yellow River for days. , the people were displaced, and the corpses were everywhere.

The Yuan and Qing emperors were furious, and ordered immediate relief to the people, and sent Jin Yiwei to investigate the truth of the embankment breach. Since the cement was produced, he knew that the embankment could be built with cement mixed with bamboo and wood, so he allocated funds and ordered the prefectures and counties along the Yellow River to strengthen the embankment to prevent flooding. , I never thought that someone would dare to embezzle the appropriation funds and deal with it!

Flooding is not a trivial matter. The most serious one in the past years in Dawei, 32 prefectures and counties were affected, causing 28 households to be displaced. The vitality of Dawei was greatly damaged, and it took a long time to get over it. I thought that with bamboo and wood concrete, it would not be used in a short period of time. No matter how afraid of floods, how could he not be angry when something happened in only a year.

It happened that Gao Yan was in Hebei, so he immediately sent a decree asking him to investigate the matter thoroughly.

At the same time, the vigorous disaster relief activities kicked off. The palace, the empress and the queen mother took the opportunity to cut the palace expenses. Before the Dragon Boat Festival, half of the charitable donations raised by the Salesian Bureau were allocated and replaced with rice noodles to send to the disaster areas.

Together, Liang Ping'an and Yuan Peiyi outside the palace quickly drafted a speech, and while submitting it to the Times for quick release, they sent disciples to set up platforms in the three cities in the southeast, southeast, and west to start mobilizing speeches for disaster relief donations.

In Dongshi is Song Hua, holding a simple loudspeaker in his hand, standing on the side of the high platform, rolling up his sleeves and shouting hissingly: "...Just a few days ago, the Yellow River flooded, and in an instant, countless compatriots lost their lives." The homeland, the baby waiting to be fed has lost its mother, the gray-haired old man has lost his children..."

People passing by stopped in their tracks one after another. At this time, the news of the flood in Daming Mansion had not been spread to everyone. Only some people who happened to escape from Daming Mansion in time knew about it. They were all shocked and astonished.

Seeing people gathered around, Song Hua raised his voice a bit: "It is said that one party is in trouble and all parties are supporting. The disaster in Daming Mansion affects the hearts of each of us. At this moment, our compatriots are suffering. They have lost their homes and relatives. They are full of scars from starvation, we are the common people of Great Wei and the common people of Huaxia, we must unite and give them strength!"

"Heaven is merciless and people are merciful. As long as we unite and persist in helping each other, what about the flood? It will only make us more united and indestructible! If you dedicate a kindness to them today, someone else will dedicate their love to you in the future!"

Song Hua was impassioned: "As long as we join hands and unite as one, we will not be afraid of any disasters. We have a sage who loves the people like a son, soldiers who rush to the front line immediately, and all the people who pray for the disaster-stricken people. Great disasters have great love, and the country will prosper. Bang, God bless Wei!"

"The country is in trouble and the country is rejuvenating, God bless the Great Wei!" Someone yelled, followed by one sound after another, and soon joined together, the sound was deafening, resounding through the entire street.

The female students of the gynecology hall quickly hung up the donation box and stood in front of the crowd, bowed to the crowd first, and the woman standing in the middle said: "No matter how much you just ask for your kindness, maybe a penny of yours can save a life .”

This woman's name is Yun Niang, she is the leader of the eight women who escaped from Pingyang Mansion two months ago, and beside her is her daughter Lan Jieer who is in her early ten years.

Compared with the other female students who were a bit reserved and shy, Sister Lan was much more courageous, and she was the fastest one in the new student middle school. Dean Liang praised her personally.

She has a serious face at this moment, holding the donation box tightly, and bowing to everyone who dropped copper coins into the donation box. She also lost a family member. Two years ago, her father had an accident when he went to the mountain to collect medicine. She cried It took half a month to recover, and she also knew what it was like to not have enough to eat. Because of her grandmother's partiality, she and her mother often had a hungry meal. Can get help to live well.

The donation lasted for nearly two hours. Song Hua yelled almost non-stop. At the end, his voice was hoarse and he was almost unable to utter a sound. Several donation boxes had been replaced, and some wealthy households had just written a letter to cover it. Seal, promised to provide food.

After the speech was over, looking at the box after box of money, not to mention those female students, even Song Hua was secretly dumbfounded, and his admiration for Master increased in his heart.

The disaster relief speech lasted only three days, and it was just right that the three days were not too long or too short. If it was too short, some people didn’t have time to know it. If it was too long, it would inevitably cause the people’s psychological rebound. Except for the first day, the remaining two days in Dongshi City were full of students from Song Hua. His younger brother gave a speech on his behalf, and he yelled out, his voice was hoarse and scary.

But he didn't leave either, and guarded the donation box with the guards.

After the speech on the last day, the people slowly dispersed. Song Hua directed the guards to load the boxes into the carriage. This carriage was borrowed from Sitong Freight. The Holy One sent a message that the four-wheeled carriage was first used for freight and bus passenger transportation. , After solving these problems, it will be opened to the common people.

Just as the last box was being carried up, several ten-year-old boys ran over panting.

"Etc., etc--"

The one who ran at the front ran too fast and didn't stop for a while, so he jumped up and hit Sister Lan.

"Ouch!"

"what!"

The two fell to the ground unsteadily. Fortunately, someone nearby reached out to catch them, so they didn't really hit the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The boy quickly apologized, his movements were habitually humble.

Sister Lan was supported by her mother to stand firm, and she shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay for you to come here in such a hurry?"

"No, we're here to donate money!" The young man lowered his head halfway, and the few who came behind him were like him, and they didn't even dare to come forward. They stopped five steps away and looked at the Follow Song Hua and the others.

Song Hua saw through the identities of several people almost immediately. These were obviously the children of the Untouchables Lane. Only the children of the Untouchables Lane would behave like this when facing others. Yu Xiaoliu was like this at first, but now he has been completely reborn. in the past.

"But the donation is over," he said.

It's not that he looks down on a few people, on the contrary, the untouchables themselves have a difficult life, so why donate money for others.

The young man panicked, but quickly calmed down, took out a small cloth bag from his arms, looked up at Song Hua, and said seriously: "We didn't take this money from home, nor did we steal it, we did it A few hard-earned money from moving goods in the past three days." After a pause, as if afraid that Song Hua would not accept it, he added in a harsh voice, "It's not dirty."

Song Hua suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He has been pampered since he was a child. He has never experienced the life of ordinary people, let alone a pariah. After studying forensic medicine with his master, he gradually saw all kinds of things that he couldn't see before. Untouchables are somewhat prejudiced, but they don't expect these young people to have such a disposition.

Suppressing the emotion in his heart, he said: "Since you all sincerely want to donate, then we will make an exception and take it back." He held the donation box and handed it to the young man, "Come on, just put it in."

The young man was happy, and he grinned, revealing two pointed canine teeth, looking cute and cute, which made Sister Lan couldn't help but take a second look.

"Come here and donate money!" The boy turned his head to greet several companions behind him, and when someone came over, he threw copper coins into the donation box one by one, all of them were extremely excited, as if they had accomplished some important event.

Song Hua looked at his love for talent and asked, "Have you ever read a book?"

The young man hesitated, and said: "It's just that I can read a few words, it doesn't count as having read a book."

Song Hua said with a smile: "I see your behavior and character, are you willing to follow me to the medical school to study forensic medicine?"

The young man's eyes lit up first, then he shook his head: "No, I have already promised others that I will do things with him, and I must not break my promise."

Song Hua couldn't help but look at him even more differently. It's really rare to have such a character among the untouchables. If you say that you have just developed a love for talent, now you really want to recruit him back. What the forensic department needs is Is a student of this character.

"Who did you promise, I will go and tell him."

But the young man firmly refused: "What you promise must be done, and what you can't say doesn't count."

Song Hua persuaded him several times, even showing his own identity, but he still didn't persuade the young man, and simply said: "Whatever you want to do with that person, I will send someone to help you do it together. It’s not too late to come to the medical school.”

The young man smiled again, baring his canine teeth, and his eyes sparkled: "I'm going to the West! I heard that the bookmaker mentioned <Journey to the West>, and I want to go to Tianzhu. Maybe I'll be one step ahead of Tang Seng and Monkey King!"

Song Hua suddenly understood that he was another person who was attracted by the gold-filled land in "Journey to the West" and wanted to dig for gold. Since "Journey to the West" came out, many people were shocked by the situation described in it, and planned to go to Korea Digging Korean ginseng, or going to weave to resell tortoiseshell ivory, digging rough jade in Bagan, etc., I am afraid that with more and more descriptions of other countries in "Journey to the West" in the future, the people who go out with dreams of getting rich will become more and more. Come too.

Obviously he couldn't persuade the young man anymore, so he sighed and said, "In that case, I won't persuade you anymore, but you can still come to me someday when you come back."

The boy said gratefully, "Thank you, sir."

Letting the young man go, Song Hua was about to turn around when he suddenly remembered what called to stop the young man: "Ah, I almost forgot, what's your name?"

The young man turned around: "Zhu Xun, my name is Zhu Xun!"

Many years later, the name Zhu Xun appeared in textbooks, and he was known as the No. 1 wealthy businessman in Wei Dynasty, a famous economist, and No. [-] initiating comprehensive international trade.
