Chapter 384

Xu Qing: "I heard from Changting that he had rescued all the children a few days ago. Yue was defeated by us. Now he is asking for an alliance with other countries in fear and preparing to make reparations."

Ji laodun was relieved: "it's good to be rescued. The land of Yue was originally owned by DAHAO. It's useless to make compensation for land cutting. They will make a comeback sooner or later if they don't overthrow the state of Yue. It's not worth being forgiven for taking away so many innocent children from the state of Yue! Pity those children. They were sold when they were so young. I don't know how much they suffered. "

As soon as Ji thought of those young and innocent children, he couldn't help but sigh. He asked, "when does the imperial court plan to set up an adoption home?"

Xu Qing: "I don't know. It's too far away from the capital. A lot of information is not well-informed. I don't know whether it will be built or not. I just made a suggestion, and people may not adopt it. Don't worry. We'll know when we get back to Hezhou City in September. "

On the other hand, we are in a hurry to harvest the rice in a week, then plough the field again and plant the next season's seedlings.

Just as we were planting the next season of rice, a lot of peddlers came to Fanzhou city. These peddlers smelled the aroma of rice and basically came to buy rice. Of course, many of them came to sell things.

Now the tax is relatively light, and we have a lot of land in our hands. After paying the tax, the people can leave enough food for their own family, and they can also sell some more for money.

It's just ordinary people, and the merchants who run farms, as well as the big families, basically make money by collecting rent and selling grain. Now it's a critical time for them to make money.

For a time, the city resumed its bustle, and various shops opened their doors one after another to do business while there were many people.

Xu Qing also began to set up a stall. In addition to cakes, he also sold fried potato balls and sweet potato balls. They can be taken away with bamboo sticks, which is very convenient.

Potato balls sprinkled with cumin chili powder, sweet potato balls sprinkled with sweet plum powder, it is clearly that everyone has been fed up with food, but after Xu Qingyi processing, it has become extremely delicious.

The key is to be cheap and affordable.

Wang Dachuan and his family have finished their work. Taking advantage of the market, these men bought a lot of things for their family and the people in the stockade, big and small, more than they brought when they came.

After the market broke up, Wang Dachuan brought people to bid farewell to Xu Qing. He also bought a lot of cakes at Xu Qing's stall and planned to take them back to his family for a taste.

When I left, some people ate with relish and said, "I find there are so many snack stalls in Fanzhou city. If I have money, I really want to eat them at every stall!"

Wang Dachuan said with a smile: "let's come again next time we have a chance!"

All the people answered happily, "good!"

Here, Ping'an is worried about staring at other people's stalls.

"Master, many people imitate our cakes and snacks. I don't know how they taste. Why do so many people buy them?"

Because there are many snack stalls in Fanzhou City, the business of Xu Qing is not as good as before.

Every time Xu Qing goes to a place to set up a stall, there will be an upsurge of setting up a stall in that place. She thinks that there is nothing to do with it. There will be pressure only when there is competition. She is also bored to be proud of the world.

Although there are many stalls in the city now, Xu Qing still sells things as soon as possible. After some familiar customers go to other stalls to eat, they find that Xu Qing's food is the best.

Now the new stalls are hot just because they are fresh. After you have tasted the taste, you will know whose is the best.

That night, Hu Ling and Shi Jun came to discuss some things.

Hu Ling said: "the new magistrate is on his way. It is estimated that he will arrive in half a month. In addition, do you know that the Beiling army has rescued all the abducted children?"

Xu Qing nodded.

Hu Ling: "because of the large number of people, we asked about their origins after they were rescued. Some children don't remember, but they remember their birthplace and where their parents are. Beiling army has sent them back to their hometown."

"There are 56 children in Fanzhou city. They are already on the road. They will arrive in a few days. At that time, we have to help these children find their parents, but there must be many children whose parents are no longer there."

Shi Jun then said: "Fifty six children, the oldest 14 years old and the youngest 7 years old, can be temporarily placed in the yamen, but what about those children who can't find their parents?"

Xu Qing: "do you think it is feasible to set up an adoption home in Fanzhou city?"

Li Changting: "it has to be taken care of by trustworthy people."

Xu Qing: "will anyone want to adopt?"

Shi Jun: "there should be, but certainly not many, and the children do not want to be choosed."

Hu Ling: "I can take them away, but the court will not allow me to do so."

Shi Jun: "it's mainly because it's too small. You have to be 16 years old before you can go to the field and set up your own house."Xu Qing looked at Li Changting: "didn't you say that you told Yin Xiang about the proposal of the adoption home before, and Yin Tong didn't agree?"

Li Changting: "I'm just about to say that. Yin Xiang agrees with your suggestion. He is going to choose two cities around the capital to run first. One city in Hezhou is estimated to be in Qingzhou, but the proposal is passed, but it's still in the process of site selection and construction. It's estimated that it will take some time."

Xu Qing: "that's good. It's a public charity. There should be a lot of people supporting the donation. By the way, how many children are there?"

Hu Ling: "105 children."

Xu Qing was shocked: "more than a thousand?"

Hu Ling nodded: "it's still alive. It's not clear how many children were before the natural disaster. I estimate that more than half of the children can't find their homes. Can the two adoption homes accept so many children? At that time, I'd better choose some of them with good qualifications and put them in the Beiling family. "

Xu Qing: "if you can cultivate them well, it's OK. It's a good way to work for you."

Shi Jun sighed: "I think the adoption home is very good. If Fanzhou is not too poor, otherwise I would like to open one."

Xu Qing nodded and agreed that people in Fanzhou are really not very rich, and it takes a lot of effort to support themselves, not to mention asking them to offer their love to raise so many children. The key is to raise these children, and if people and children do not support them, they will be even more reluctant.

This is no better than those families who are not short of money. They spend money to offer love to earn fame. There are many families like this in the capital. Therefore, it is wise to open an adoption home near the capital.
