It's the end of another year, and the various dances and cocktail parties to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new have not stopped because of the war.
The Ye Family Garden is brightly lit, with the sounds of drums and music, and is filled with elegant clothes and a life of luxury.
The yard and the living room were full of people.
However, despite the extravagance of "rich people's dog meat smells like meat", the theme of this cocktail party is very positive energy -
"The Pringg (Princess Allure) Charity Association is officially established today!"
Warlords were fighting each other, and the flames of war spread across most of the country, and the people at the bottom of society were always the ones who suffered the most.
Coupled with droughts, floods and other disasters, the people suffered even more.
Gu Qingcheng came to this time and space. In addition to completing missions, he also had the sentiment of serving the country and the people.
The power of one person is indeed small.
But, it’s better to do it than not to do it.
Gu Qingcheng has been enhancing the international status and influence of "Princess Qingcheng" in order to better change the world.
In order to achieve her goals, she repeatedly used foreign powers to bully others and used the foreigners' skins as a banner.
The same is true for this charity association.
Led by Gu Qingcheng, families such as Dulang, Rhodes, and Luo Fei from the Ugly Country responded one after another. The mansions of countries such as Y and D, as well as wealthy businessmen and politicians in the Celestial Empire, also contributed money and effort.
Some of them are just for show, but they can prevent Gu Qingcheng's charity from being obstructed by warlords and other forces.
Some donated money, instantly replenishing the charity’s funds.
Some of them are foreigners. The hospitals and schools under the Charity Federation have doctors and teachers supported by foreigners.
...It can be said that Gu Qingcheng's charity association has truly verified that Gu Qingcheng's efforts in the past few years have not been in vain.
She, Pringg, has already achieved a status and influence where "one person commands the attention of hundreds of people."
For ordinary people, they don’t understand much, they just know that Princess Qingcheng is a good person.
Although she is a princess of the previous dynasty, she still cares about the people.
Even if it means digging up ancestral graves and selling ancestral property, we must build charity hospitals, Hope Primary Schools, and orphanages.
Every time there was a famine, she would donate money, food, and medicinal materials.
Princess Qingcheng's good deeds have always been circulated in newspapers and on the streets.
But for some educated or knowledgeable people, Princess Qingcheng lived up to her status as an imperial princess and was a true hero.
In the past few years, she has been sponsoring promising young people to study abroad.
From the initial twenty or thirty people, it has grown to one or two hundred people now.
What she did was better and more thoughtful than the warlord government.
Especially in the last one or two years, funding for several universities in Beijing has been cut, leaving teachers and students starving.
It was Princess Qingcheng who personally paid for the relief to solve the urgent problems faced by teachers and students.
There is also the Shengjing Aviation School, which is the first aviation school in China. The pilots trained there will be the pillars of the country.
From airplanes, to various educational resources, to students' food and accommodation, Princess Qingcheng paid for everything alone.
You wouldn't know until you count. When you count carefully, you will find that Princess Qingcheng has done so many things in just four or five years.
Today's charity association is a small climax.
Gu Qingcheng once again took out 100,000 taels of silver and raised 300,000 silver dollars in charity. All of this money was used to buy food.
Drought hit several northern provinces, leaving thousands of miles of land barren and no crops harvested.
After the drought, there were locust plagues, snowstorms, hail, floods, and epidemics...
It seems like God is leaving no chance for the people to survive.
But the warlords are still fighting each other.
They only care about their own territory, how could they think about the victims who are wailing everywhere?
Gu Qingcheng would remain silent every time she saw the news.
People say that the Republic of China is romantic, but Gu Qingcheng said that even if there is romance, it is a bloody romance full of darkness and despair.
Because the people at the bottom of society really suffer and have a very difficult life.
No wonder so many celebrities of the Republic of China were grief-stricken and depressed, and some even committed suicide for the country.
They have awakened, they have seen the suffering of the people, but they are powerless to change it.
"Fortunately, I have a golden finger!"
Gu Qingcheng took a deep breath and tried her best to contribute her strength.
It just so happened that this year, the United States entered the Great Depression.
Farmers are bearing the brunt of the impact.
Food prices plummeted.
Gu Qingcheng used his connections in Chou Country to purchase large quantities of grain.
She was rich. In addition to the "private money" she took away from the palace and the treasures dug out from her ancestral tombs, she also had dividends from several patents.
Gu Qingcheng has a hand in the two most profitable industries at the moment: military equipment and medicines.
Her annual income is quite substantial.
However, the power of an individual is always small.
When describing a person’s wealth, people often use the phrase “rich enough to rival a country.”
But in reality, you will find that personal wealth can never match that of a country.
For example, this time's purchase of grain for disaster relief almost used up all the huge profits that Gu Qingcheng had earned in the past few years.
There is no way, there are too many victims in China.
There is never enough food.
In those days, there was no fast transportation, and the cost of transporting grain was higher than the price of grain itself.
The total amount of these expenses is absolutely staggering.
“No matter how much money you make, you have to do it!”
"If you lose money, you can earn it again, but if you lose a person, you really have nothing left!"
Gu Qingcheng gritted her teeth and persevered.
She has already purchased the second batch of food, and the donations received from today's charity dinner will allow her to make a third round of ocean purchases.
