Chapter 1744 Dumplings From Afar
Yun Dai was holding a pen and writing the articles of association for the charity. Hearing this, she smiled and said: "You, don't overestimate human nature, but don't underestimate it either. This season is not black and white. There are good people who do bad things, and there are also bad people. It’s a shining moment.”
Zhao Yuanjing said: "How many days will your foundation be ready to run?"
"How many days? Of course it will continue."
Yun Dai smiled and said, "I have even drafted the articles of association. Your Majesty, you must send me a few honest and capable officials to manage this foundation."
Zhao Yuanjing said: "Now that this has just begun, the people's enthusiasm is quite high. Are you sure it can continue like this in the future?"
"Of course. Numerous facts have proven that to help the poor, we cannot rely solely on the imperial court, but must also bring into play the enthusiasm of the people across the country. Especially the enthusiasm of the rich salt merchants in Jiangnan." Yun Dai said, "Now that there are disasters every year, it's not Floods are locust plagues, or droughts. The imperial court tightens its belt all day long, raises money and food from everywhere to give to the subordinates, and has to be divided by the corrupt officials below. The people do not get much real help."
"Dai'er, please continue." Zhao Yuanjing had slowly sat up straight.
Yun Dai said: "Our foundation is of a royal nature. You say, even the common people donate, but those dignitaries and wealthy merchants, how dare they not donate? Do they still want the convenience provided by the court?"
“So how do you ensure continuity?”
"It's quite simple." Yun Dai raised two fingers, "Propaganda."
"What are you promoting?"
"Publish the tragic situation of the victims." Yun Dai said, "For example, every time there is a flood, those people's houses are destroyed, they are drowned, their families are destroyed, and they even starve to death. Other people may have heard about it, but they have not Seeing it, it’s hard to imagine the tragedy.”
"How do you make them understand that misery?"
"Let them see it." Yun Dai said, "This requires the power of the official media. I also need to run a newspaper. It is dedicated to printing and distributing various decisions and news of the court. Once there is a disaster, the news will be printed in large format to let them know. The painters painted the tragic scenes of the victims in newspapers and distributed them to people in other places."
Yun Dai picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then continued: "The sudden impact of the tragic situation on people can easily make people have the urge to donate money. In addition, the court and officials must also do what they have done for the victims. We also tell them about our contribution and make them believe in our court. I feel that the court is not easy and officials are very difficult."
Zhao Yuanjing was a little dumbfounded.
Yun Dai said: "As the president of the Charity Association, I will personally go to the disaster area to help the disaster area. You said, even a queen like me goes to the trouble, will other people's blood surge and wish to risk their lives? Donate it?”
"Then, it's really possible."
"Another important point is that in order to let the public trust our foundation, we will regularly list the donation list and amount in the newspaper, and clearly list the destination of each donation." Yun Dai said, "Since then, Only in this way can the long-term operation of the foundation be ensured.”
Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "Dai'er, what on earth do you have in your head? Can you think of such a trick?"
Yun Dai smiled and said: "Your Majesty only needs to give me a few capable people, and I can even be responsible for their salaries."
"Didn't you say that the foundation should be clean and honest? Then this salary..."
