Although Tao Qiqi had sent a letter to Nangong Ye before, she had not received a reply from Nangong Ye yet, so she could only handle it like this for the time being.
Before charcoal, Xiao Hei had plundered a lot of supplies in Yongdu, including quilts and cotton.
But it would be impossible for Tao Qiqi to take all of her things out of the space. There would be too much movement, and it would be easy for people to question where her things came from.
Part of the donation was raised, and the rest she subsidized from the space, so that at least it wouldn't be too obvious or exaggerated.
Moreover, she traveled in a caravan this time, and it was normal for her to have some supplies, so no one would suspect her.
After hearing what Tao Qiqi said, Mr. Lu was the first to stand up and express his agreement.
"I think Mr. Tao's idea is a good one. We should raise some donations first, and then buy what's not enough. Even if we don't have enough in Changdao County, at least we can still have time to buy it from elsewhere.
Our county government, no, I personally, I took the lead in collecting donations in my own name. I raised 100 kilograms of charcoal, ten pieces of cotton-padded clothes, and three quilts."
Seeing that his own son was so active, how dare County Magistrate Qi not stand up and show his support.
"Then our Changdao County government will collect donations of 500 kilograms of charcoal, 20 pieces of cotton-padded clothes, and 10 quilts. If it's not enough, I'll think of another way."
Unexpectedly, Magistrate Yu and his son were so caring. Tao Qiqi had a happy smile on her face, and then said quickly:
"Magistrate Qi, please don't worry Mr. Qi. For donations, cotton-padded clothes, cotton trousers, quilts, etc., even if they are old and somewhat tattered, can be donated. They do not have to be brand new.
In addition, in addition to these, if anyone donates food, money or other things, it is also acceptable. Anyone who comes will not be refused. The food can ensure the livelihood of the villagers in the future. The money can be used by the villagers in the future to rebuild their homes."
Mr. Lu: "That's okay. We can call the entire county government together to raise donations."
Tao Qiqi: "Okay, when the time comes, your county government will make statistics, and then we will raise donations in the name of the county government. Then I will invite everyone in the county government to have a drink."
"But the wine from Tao Gongzi Winery?" Magistrate Qi looked at Tao Qiqi with bright eyes.
Tao Qiqi replied: "Of course it is."
"Okay, okay, okay. Then I will call everyone together now. Chang'er, you are responsible for collecting donations from the county government. I will inform every household in the county that a cotton coat and a pair of cotton trousers are enough. The more the better."
Luchi said and was about to turn around and leave.
At this time, Lu Chang stopped him, and then said: "Dad is still in charge of the county government affairs. I will go and inform every household. It will get dark in a while, and if you haven't come back yet, my mother will worry about you again."
"
"Okay, then you take care of the outside and I take care of the inside."
With that said, the father and son divided the work and began to cooperate.
Seeing this, Tao Qiqi hurriedly shouted to Quchang: "Remember to summon those big people to the restaurant."
Quchang raised his hand and waved it, indicating that he understood.
Tao Qiqi went to the restaurant and booked a large private room.
This is used to entertain those big customers.
If she wants to encourage others to raise donations, Tao Qiqi must not be stingy.
Make reservations for good food, put good wine on the table, and the rest is waiting for people to come to your door.
At this time, Tao Qiqi was still a little nervous, fearing that it would be embarrassing if no one showed up.
While she was waiting in agony, Shan Ren registered the shortage of supplies and delivered them to Tao Qiqi.
Seeing the lack of registration of the materials in hand, Tao Qiqi frowned.
What every village is most lacking now is dry firewood, quilts, cotton-padded clothes and the like.
"I hope that the big family in Changdao County can give some help, don't say too much, just donate a small amount, at least it can last for a while." Tao Qiqi couldn't help but feel melancholy.
Shan Ren said: "Actually, as long as there are some, it would be good for the villagers to dry their own clothes and quilts. In addition, when the fire is burning, you can also put some wet firewood next to it. If there is heat, the wet firewood can slow down the fire."
Dry it slowly, and then it can be used by the villagers to make fires."
Tao Qiqi nodded: "Yes, this can be recycled."
Shan Ren: "But even so, the eight villages need a lot of charcoal."
"It's okay, as long as someone donates, it will be whatever you get."
As soon as Tao Qiqi finished speaking, people began to come in one after another outside the restaurant, and then they heard Mr. Lu's voice: "Mr. Tao, I helped call all the big names in Changdao County who can speak to me. The rest
It’s up to you.”
Hearing Lu Chang's voice and looking at the group of people following behind him, Tao Qiqi immediately raised the corners of her lips and nodded to the wealthy people who had arrived, "Everyone, please come in, please come in."
As soon as all the gentlemen and gentlemen are seated, the waiter will start serving the dishes.
Tao Qiqi also spent a lot of money. She brought out several jars of her own wine. She ordered all the restaurant's signature dishes.
But seeing that there were more than a dozen people coming, I should be able to spend the money today.
"Let me introduce you all to Mr. Tao first." As soon as they took their seats, Mr. Lu began to introduce each other to everyone.
"These three are Boss Chen, Boss Li and Boss Jiang from our Changdao County grain store."
"These two are Boss Yang and Boss Yi from Buzhuang."
"These are Yuan Wai Zhang, Yuan Wai Gu, Yuan Shi, Yuan Zhao, and Yuan Sun."
"There are also Mr. Li, Mr. Tian, and Mr. Zhou."
"Everyone, the person who is entertaining you today is Mr. Tao from Nanguan City."
Mr. Lu introduced everyone on both sides in one breath.
When everyone heard that it was Mr. Tao from Nanguan City who was hosting the banquet for them, they all looked very surprised.
Zhang Yuanwai even confirmed again in disbelief: "Master Tao, Master Tao from Nanguan City? But that Master Tao who escaped from the north and protected King Pingyang all the way?"
Tao Qiqi smiled and replied: "It's me. I made everyone laugh today."
Zhang Yuanwai: "No, no, we have heard about Mr. Tao for a long time. When the north was fleeing, Mr. Tao also helped King Pingyang save the people in the whole north. This is not something ordinary people can do."
Mr. Li: "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Sure enough, people who do great things are different."
Boss Li: "Didn't I hear that Mr. Tao is actually from a girl's family?"
As soon as the words fell, Boss Li understood instantly and immediately apologized with a haha: "Sorry, sorry, I was so quick to talk."
In fact, everyone here is in business. As soon as the incident in Nanguan City came out, they naturally listened.
When everyone saw Tao Qiqi, they already knew that Tao Qiqi was disguised as a man again.
It's all about seeing things through but not telling them.
Now that Boss Li had broken it off, he naturally felt a little embarrassed.
But just because Boss Li said it, everyone seemed to be awakened.
It seems like I have to perform well for a while.
It's possible for this guy to sit in that position in the future.
Although they would not be able to take advantage of her even if she took that position, no matter what, they had supported her in the past.
