Chapter 1477： right time and place

Changyi listened to it again, confirmed that he heard it correctly, and looked at the prince, "This official is not from the imperial examination. This official must study with an open mind. It is better for the prince to find someone else to learn."

Prince Oger, "I'm in my twenties, and now I'm starting to study literature. I don't know how many years I'll have to study. I heard the deeds of Lord Zhou and admired him. I think I have a good language talent, so I came here to learn."

He was already twenty, and it would be impossible for him to take the imperial examination. He couldn't join the martial arts, so he could only think of things from other places. It was impossible for him to marry the Zhou family. He didn't think his mind could hide from the Zhou family.

Now that there is a marquis in the Ogre Ministry, it is easy for the Zhou family to make things difficult for them. At first, they were expecting a sister. Yesterday, when his mother came back from the palace, he wiped away tears. He didn't want to recognize the reality.

Changyi looked at the prince with deep eyes. The prince was not willing to bet against the famous prince, and wanted to seek power. "This official can't teach the disciples, so he asked the prince to hire Gao Ming."

Prince Ogre knew that he would not succeed all at once, and said with a smile: "I am sincere, and I will let the adults see my sincerity."

Mr. Liu waited for the prince to leave, and came over slowly, "Why did this prince come to the Ministry of Rites to find you?"

Changyi, "I have a big heart."

Lord Liu nodded, "Eyes can't deceive people, he is indeed very ambitious. If the court hadn't swallowed the grassland, this man would be a scourge many years later."

Changyi agreed, "This ruthless man knows how his brothers died. This man knows best."

Lord Liu, "Then be careful, this one looks like a master who won't give up until his goal is achieved."

"Ok."

The Ministry of Household, Zhou Shuren doesn't have many errands. During his cultivation, the Ministry of Household needs him to look after the important things. The rest of the time he runs on his own. When he is free, he thinks about the orphans.

When Zhang Jinghong came in, Zhou Shuren regained his senses, "Put the account book on the table."

Zhang Jinghong put down the account book, "Sir, this is the expenses of the children in Dongcheng this month."

Zhou Shuren picked up the account book, "There are more than 150 children?"

Zhang Jinghong nodded, "Yeah, this is still sending back some children."

Although the court did not publicize it, the people in the capital were very gossipy, and many well-informed people found out where they lost their children.

Zhou Shuren continued to look at it. The older children eat coarse grains and fish cakes, two meals a day, while the younger ones can drink ground corn paste, even if the daily food ration, more than 150 children The daily consumption is not small, and this is not even the rations of the old woman and others.

Zhou Shuren closed the account book, "Tomorrow, some food and old clothes will be delivered to the household department. You are responsible for receiving and sending them over. Wait, if there are more old clothes, keep some of them, this official is useful."

Zhang Jinghong said: "Xiaguan wrote it down and said old clothes. There are also many old clothes of servants in the Xiaguan mansion, and they can also be sent to the Ministry of households."

"Okay, I thank you for the children."

Zhang Jinghong was embarrassed, "I can't be thanked by the children, so I will go down first."

Zhou Shuren waited for Zhang Jinghong to leave, opened the account book again, took out a blank booklet, wrote down the data such as expenses, and then expressed his suggestions one by one, and finally wrote the benefits to the court. Put it away.

In the afternoon at the Yamen, Zhou Shuren saw his second son, "Why didn't you wait for me in the carriage?"

"Son didn't wait for a while, Dad, be careful that the snow is slippery."

Zhou Shuren was put on the carriage by his son and waited for Changyi to come up, "Are you picking me up on purpose?"

Changyi talked about today's events, "I don't have a small mind."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "Marquis Oger has an advantage over the other princes. His daughter is a concubine in the palace. If he is honest and can live a stable life, the other princes will not have this blessing. Don't cherish luck!"

Aruna's pregnancy is fake, which is a credit. As long as the Marquis of Ogre is honest, the emperor has some affection for the Oge department. If you are tossed, the emperor's affection will be gone.

Changyi was speechless, "There is a girl in the palace, what else is there to toss, and now it is not honest to nurture the younger generation, the younger generation, the more tossing, the more upset the emperor is."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "Because of the lack of people's hearts."

Early the next morning, Zhou Shuren was the first to stand up, handing over the book in his hand, with a painful voice, "Last year, the bilateral war destroyed so many families in my dynasty, leaving so many children without fathers. I can't sleep at night when I think of the son who died protecting the family and defending the country."

In fact, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were a little confused. After listening to these words, they did not understand Zhou Shuren's thoughts.

Zhou Shuren paused for a while and continued: "I was born in the countryside, I know how the people live, I have no support in a family, life is very difficult, and the eldest son in the family can bear the responsibility of supporting the family, but I am afraid that the woman is young. The children are young. Marry the husband, the husband dies, the son, if the son is young, a woman can only obey the elders to remarry, of course, there are strong temperament to take up the female household, but very few."

The emperor has read the book and handed it to the prince.

Some of the ministers still didn't understand, and some caught some of Zhou Shuren's thoughts.

Zhou Shuren continued: "Women remarry, what about the children? Although you can stay in the family's family, you can also remarry with your mother, but last year, the country's food production decreased and the country was in short supply. How many rations? These children are the heirs of heroes who defend their families and the country, they deserve better care, and they deserve to be people who serve the country like their fathers did."

Now I understand Zhou Shuren's thoughts. Some people are very moved. Of course, most of them are military generals, and there are fewer civil servants. Whoever makes most of the civil servants come from aristocratic families and don't have deep experience, don't expect more sympathy from powerful families!

Mr. Wang went to the morning court today. Yesterday, Zhou Shuren passed his temper with him. He thought it was a good thing, whether it was for the country or the popularity of the people.

Mr. Wang stepped forward, "I can't chill the undead of the heroes who have passed away, this minister agrees."

Later, someone else agreed that the Ministry of Household is in charge of the grain and silver, and the Ministry of Household takes the lead, and they don't need to worry about the money and grain. The discerning person can see that the emperor agrees.

The emperor did agree. He thought more. Aristocratic families and powerful people occupy resources. It is difficult for poor families to study. It seems that there are many scholars in the country, but there are not many scholars. Most of the scholars are occupied by aristocratic families.

Gathering children to teach, brainwashing from childhood to be more loyal to the royal family, can also cultivate talents, and compete for resources in the hands of the family in the future.

Moreover, these soldiers and orphans are also propaganda to the court, and the conscription will be smoother in the future.

Zhou Shuren understood the emperor's thoughts Zhezi focused on the benefits brought by raising these children. The ancient feudal people were controlled by their thoughts, so he slowly planted the seeds, and sooner or later the seeds would sprout and grow into big trees.

Now the timing is very good, the time is right, the place is right and the people are all occupied. If he lacks the same, there will be many obstacles for him to set up an orphanage. Now it is a benefit to face the royal family in all aspects.

When the family reacted, the emperor had taken all the initiative. The emperor wanted to weaken the influence of the family, and naturally he would not give in.

Although he cannot see the future, his children and grandchildren will.

After the early dynasty ended, Zhou Shuren was left behind by the emperor, and he had to discuss it carefully. Zhou Shuren said to the emperor: "First of all, we must count how many orphaned children and how many were abused. "

The prince frowned, "I was abused?"

Zhou Shuren looked at the prince with caring eyes, "How many have stepfathers and their mothers become stepmothers, and similarly there are also many who have stepmothers and their fathers and become stepfathers. Abuse often happens, and when they arrive at the house of unconscionable uncles, they are oppressed. Yes, some children did not grow up well, and King Qin was abused a lot when he was a child."

The prince was humbly, "I know too little about the common people's family, I will go to the village more in the future."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyebrows and had to admit that the prince was a blessing to the people as heir, "Prince is great."

The emperor was also very pleased and said, "Who do you think is suitable for this matter?"

Zhou Shuren's calculus was particularly loud, "I think no one can do the job except the emperor, the royal orphanage? What does the emperor think?"

The emperor's name is linked to the royal family, tsk tsk, in the future, the aristocratic family will not dare to beep after reacting, but can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, regretting that he didn't stop it that day.
