The Most Powerful General of One Piece

"As long as you donate the old clothes and shoes you can find at home."

"Of course, you must wash them thoroughly, otherwise the stench on your clothes and shoes will stun the victims, which will be bad."

Hearing this, the people around who heard about the book burst out with a roar.

"This is necessary. Since we are planning to donate, we must clean it up."

"I have a lot of clothes at home, but they are all for summer and winter. I don't have much left to take out. Can I donate them?"

"Of course you can donate. As long as it's clothes, you can wear them. Maybe if you donate a few clothes, you can prevent a disaster victim from freezing to death."

"You're right, everyone hurry up and donate. It's so cold in the disaster area now, and we can't let the victims freeze."

For a time, the entire city of Chang'an was filled with people fetching water and washing clothes.

In order to make it easier for people to wash clothes, Li Shimin also specially set up warm water points one after another.

These places have special stoves for boiling water, and people who want to wash clothes can bring water and clothes.

After the water is heated, you can wash it on the spot.

However, the dirty water must be taken away after washing the clothes. Otherwise, if the clothes washed by several people are dumped on the road, they will easily freeze in large areas.

The weather is so cold now. If you fall on the road, it will definitely be a very serious matter.

At the same time, there is still such a saying circulating in Chang'an City.

"The people of the Tang Dynasty are one family. If you are in trouble, I will support you."

This sentence is catchy and can be said by ordinary people and children in Chang'an City.

And it is very consistent with the current situation. This sentence is also spread among the people not only in Chang'an City, but also in other places.

Because no one knows where the next disaster will be. Maybe there is a flood in your place today and an earthquake in another place tomorrow.

It is almost impossible to rely on one's own ability to fight disasters and provide disaster relief. Everyone hopes that if their place encounters a disaster one day, others will come to the rescue.

Princess Ankang, Dugu Mou and a group of guards returned to Chang'an City from Pingyao County.

The sights she saw along the way shocked her.

"Even Chang'an City has this kind of donation box. Donations on such a large scale are really rare."

Princess Ankang sighed, and soon she returned to the palace and found that clothes, shoes, etc. were being packed in her palace.

Seeing Princess Ankang return, the maids hurriedly came to pay their respects.

Princess Ankang pointed to what they were busy with and asked with a smile: "What are you busy with? It seems very interesting."

The maids quickly said: "Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty is calling on everyone to donate clothes and shoes."

"I heard that this was all news from Pingyao County. After His Majesty heard this, Long Yan was so happy that he immediately asked everyone to do this."

"We are now preparing to wash clothes and shoes, and we have donated everything we can."

Princess Ankang thought for a while and said with a smile: "You have done a good job. Keep doing it. I will give you a half-day holiday today. You can finish your duties and perform your duties."

Hearing this, the palace maids were all excited and quickly thanked her.

Princess Ankang saw that they were all busy, so she couldn't let them serve her again, so she simply gave them a holiday, and then went to the queen's palace herself.

"Ankang, please give your regards to the Queen."

Empress Changsun quickly helped Ankang up, pulled her aside and sat down, and said with a smile: "Will you gain anything from your visit to Pingyao County this time?"

Princess Ankang smiled and nodded, then her face became a little tangled.

Seeing the change in Princess Ankang's expression, Queen Changsun immediately realized that she must have encountered some trouble this time.

"Ankang, if something happens to you, tell me and I will definitely make the decision for you."

"In the realm of Datang, no one can bully our Li family."

Hearing this, Ankang smiled and shook his head: "Queen, please calm down, no one dares to bully Ankang."

"It's just that the price Liu Changqing asked for was too high. To build a factory there, he actually needed to rent land."

When Queen Changsun heard this, she couldn't help but look surprised.

"How is this possible? In other places, land is purchased directly. Why is it that when we come to him, we rent land? This is against the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

Hearing this, Princess Ankang smiled bitterly and said, "Empress, you don't know, he said this is the rule of their Pingyao County."

"And he also said that in the future, everything in the Tang Dynasty may have to follow this rule."

After hearing this, Empress Changsun pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said with a wry smile: "What you said is not impossible."

"But I won't care about these at all. After all, I don't participate in politics. I will never get involved in matters involving government affairs."

Princess Ankang nodded and continued: "In addition to renting land, he also charges a 50.00% tax. This tax is really too high."

“The taxes elsewhere are not even half of what he is.”

When Queen Changsun heard this, she couldn't help but frowned.

"It seems that many places in Pingyao County are completely different from other places. If this is the case, why not just buy land and build factories elsewhere."

"And the tax will be much lower. All you need to do is get the formula for making perfume. Although it will cost a lot of money, it is a long-term solution."

Princess Ankang smiled helplessly when she heard this.

"Empress, of course Liu Changqing also thought of this, so he took advantage of this and restricted us from buying land elsewhere."

“We can only rent land to build factories in Pingyao County.”

Hearing this, Queen Changsun couldn't help but sigh: "This Liu Changqing is really good at calculating, but he is a pillar of the country."

Princess Ankang couldn't help but curl her lips: "He is indeed a pillar of talent, and he can be very careful with his budget."

"By the way, the Queen, I heard that my father asked everyone to donate clothes and shoes. Did you hear that?"

Queen Changsun nodded: "I heard that the palace is doing this now. I am going to make some clothes myself and send them to the disaster area."

Hearing this, Ankang immediately became interested: "Queen, please teach me how to make clothes. I also want to contribute."

At the same time, in the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin were discussing something.

Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Have you distributed all the invitations I asked you to send?"

Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "The invitations have been sent out, but the effect is not very good, Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Li Shimin frowned immediately.
