Transmigrated into a corrupt female county magistrate, defied fate and changed her life in a deserte
Chapter 140 Charity Foundation Association
Manager Liu was very surprised, as if he had not expected Song Jinshu to be unwilling to accept it.
The official from the imperial court who came to collect grain taxes was not easy to get rid of. If she did not accept such a huge shortage, how would she report the grain to her superiors in the future?
"This... Your Excellency, why don't you accept it? I heard that other prefectures have increased their grain taxes this year. The old master wants you to accept it and make up for the tax..."
Manager Liu stepped forward and whispered the real reason to Song Jinshu, who was a little surprised when he heard it.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't moved by Mr. Liu's actions.
I didn't expect that they would think of this and bring food to her without saying a word.
Helping someone when they need it is the most precious thing!
but……
Song Jinshu narrowed her eyes. She couldn't accept these grains, and there was no need to do so.
The grain tax in Shun'an Prefecture has been exempted this year, so of course they in Jingyang County don't have to pay it.
But...Song Jinshu did not refuse immediately.
Because winter is about to come, in previous years there were people who starved to death or froze to death on the roadside.
Although Jingyang County does not have as many as other counties, there are still quite a few.
She wanted to keep the food so that she could help the people later.
"Well... I appreciate your kindness in coming here, and I'm very grateful to you. As the father and mother of Jingyang County, I'm deeply touched that you're giving back to your hometown. However, I absolutely cannot accept this grain."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, and they became even more worried. Lord Song rejected them. Could it be that he looked down on what they brought out?
What should I do?
The other wealthy families subconsciously looked at the Liu family. They were businessmen and had dealings with the Liu family on a daily basis.
Now that the Liu family is Lord Song’s future in-laws, they only hope that the Liu family can say something good about them.
Manager Liu sighed silently. He couldn't make the decision for Lord Song!
The people below had different expressions, and Song Jinshu noticed them all. She was very satisfied with it.
This shows that these people are kind-hearted. In the future, the development of Jingyang County will depend on their economic development.
If people's hearts are not united, no matter how many good things she has, she will not be able to succeed.
"Sir Song, we like to offer this, so please accept it. If it is not enough, each of us can contribute a little more."
Someone gritted his teeth and spoke, and the others turned their eyes to him.
When they saw that the man ran a grain shop, they all glared at him.
He is the only one who can be a good person, right?
Song Jinshu looked down helplessly at the anxious look on her face, afraid that she would bleed profusely, and she found it funny.
"I appreciate your kindness, and I will remember your selfless dedication. However, I will not accept any of this food..."
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Song Jinshu suddenly changed the subject: "But don't be nervous! I have a great project that I need your support for."
"Master Song, please tell me! We will do our best to do it."
The underground grain store owner still acted as he pleased, and was again looked down upon by others.
Song Jinshu looked at the grain shop owner with admiration and took note of him.
"As everyone knows, Shun'an Prefecture suffered a natural disaster this year, and the people's grain production and income are generally low. Winter is approaching, and the winter is bitterly cold. The food in the people's homes is not enough to sustain them for the entire winter..."
Therefore, I intend to establish a charity fund in Jingyang County, and I need your support."
The rich businessmen and golden potatoes underground looked at each other, all with question marks on their faces.
The grain shop owner, having already spoken, boldly asked, "Excuse my ignorance, but what is this charity fund? What should we do?"
Now even Manager Liu looked at her curiously, waiting for her explanation.
"Don't worry, everyone. The name of the charity fund actually tells you something. Everyone here is from a well-off family. When my county was hit by the plague before, I heard from the yamen runners that everyone here was helping refugees by distributing porridge outside the city...
"This shows that you all have very good character. I trust you!"
"I also know that everyone has a kind heart and cannot bear to see the suffering of the people. As a parent official, I also cannot bear to see my people suffer..."
"I am well aware of the hardships faced by poor families, especially during the cold winter. Without sufficient food stored to last through the winter, many people will starve to death."
"I really can't bear to see people starving to death on the streets, so I want to set up a charity fund association to help these people who are living in difficult circumstances."
When Song Jinshu said this, her tone was a little heavy. She glanced at the people below and saw that they felt a little sympathy, but not much.
Most people were still daydreaming, while some were watching her perform silently.
They felt that Song Jinshu was just using a nice excuse to make money!
Song Jinshu didn't care what they thought of him. As long as he could achieve his goal, why couldn't he bear the infamy?
To her, human life is more important than reputation!
"Ahem... I won't accept the food you brought today..."
Here it comes! The big-bellied golden potatoes underground all perked up their spirits, wanting to see how Song Jinshu would trick them.
"Our Holy Mountain is kind and compassionate, and loves its people like its own children. As an official, I must shoulder my responsibilities as I receive the salary from the Lord..."
"As the ancients said, when you are poor, you should take care of yourself; when you are rich, you should help the world... You all have such kindness now, which is far beyond my reach, so I would like to borrow your flowers to offer to the Buddha."
"Once the charity foundation association is established, you can donate this food. It will help those who need it..."
"I will commend you and engrave each of your names on the stone pillars of the Charity Foundation Association. Your kindness will be passed down from generation to generation and recorded in history!"
“Those who have received your help will be grateful to you and remember you forever! You are all the Lei Fengs of Jingyang County! You are the heroes of our Jingyang County…”
Song Jinshu spoke pleasant words continuously, which stunned the people below.
The wealthy businessmen underground went from being indifferent at first to being excited later, and everyone seemed to be "alive"!
The grain shop owner's eyes lit up frighteningly. When he heard the words "leave a name in history for thousands of years", his heart began to flutter.
After struggling for most of their lives, what they are trying to gain is face and fame.
There is a great opportunity right in front of him now. If he misses it, he will regret it for the rest of his life!
"Sir Song! I am willing to join this charity foundation association!"
As soon as the grain shop owner spoke, the others, not wanting to be left behind, raised their hands one by one and said, "Me too!"
"And I!"
"Our clothing store wants to participate too!"
Looking at the golden potatoes that were already making a lot of noise in the house, Song Jinshu's smile deepened.
What good day is today? How come all the good things happen to her?
Not only is there no grain tax this year, but these golden potatoes also send her food one by one.
A charitable foundation association has now been established.
