Chapter 1490 Numbness

Changli twisted the veil to put on his son's forehead, and the servant came in, "Sir, the magistrate is here."

Changli got up, "Look at your son, let me know if anything happens."

"Yes."

Changli arrived at the restaurant box, and the magistrate got up hurriedly, "I heard that the young master is ill, is he feeling better now?"

Changli motioned for the county magistrate to sit down, but there was not much smile on his face, "This prince has some doubts and wants to ask the magistrate, did not get the fish cakes and food from the imperial court here?"

The magistrate said in a tight heart, "I got it."

Changli sneered, "Can you give the people a share to save their lives?"

The county magistrate sweated on his forehead, "It's divided, every household has received food and fish cakes to save their lives."

Changli has already investigated, and the county magistrate in front of him is not a good one. The life-saving food is indeed distributed, but not much, and more are sold privately.

The county magistrate did not want to continue talking about food, so he changed the subject and continued: "It is difficult to buy meat now, and the wild animals on the mountain are not easy to hunt.

Having said that, the magistrate felt another nausea in his stomach, it was so disgusting.

Chang's expression was dark, and he continued to chat along the topic. He was already angry with the Wu family, but now he is very calm, "The Liu family sold the orphan of a hero who guards the family and defends the country. Back to the capital."

The county magistrate was trembling in his calf and comforted himself. He distributed food and fish cakes to each household. He was not afraid of being investigated, and he dared not look the prince in the eyes.

Changli took a sip of the tea cup and said, "It is better for the magistrate to investigate carefully. My father said that once a person's moral bottom line is broken, it is easy to contagious. I think it is not an exception for the Wu family to buy a child."

The county magistrate was stunned, his lips were trembling, and his brain was buzzing. Once it was found out, there was no need to investigate the misappropriation of food and fish cakes, and his career was over.

Changli put down the teacup, "It's not easy to be born as a human being. Since some people don't appreciate it and insist on wearing human skins as animals, then treat them as animals. What do you think, county magistrate?"

The county magistrate swallowed, "I'll go check it now, check it carefully."

All he can ask for now is to make up for his faults. As for killing the prince, don't even think about it, he won't dare to think again.

Changli and other county magistrates left, sitting in silence, his chest was full of anger, the Wu family bought the Liu family, it was not because of lack of food, when the search, the Wu family had a lot of food, what a beast.

Changli's letter was sent back to the capital two days later, and it was sent directly to the Ministry of Households.

When Zhou Shuren received the letter, he was discussing business affairs with the prince. Shuren was still very surprised when he received the letter. He opened the letter and handed it to the prince, "Also take a look at the letter."

The prince took the letter suspiciously, read the letter and patted the table, "It's not as good as a beast."

Zhou Shuren could see the anger of the eldest son between the lines. It is scary for honest people to be angry. This time, the eldest son will grow up a lot, so he retracted his mind and said, "This will not be an exception."

The prince said with a cold face, "Zha, I want to pull out all these beasts."

Zhou Shuren gave the idea, "There is a shortage of people to open up wasteland. Since these people don't regard themselves as human beings, they can use them as animals."

Prince thought this idea was a good idea, "Death is a relief for them, and Zhou Hou's idea is very good, let them open up wasteland and farm till they die."

Zhou Shuren sighed and then said: "I feel that when soldiers orphans enter Beijing, it is best to send someone to ease their psychology, so that some children will not be extreme."

The little boy in the letter was so stimulated, he had a lot of psychological problems, and the three views were not established well. Wait, there must be a newspaper office.

Prince pondered, "Master Hou is right, but who is the right person to send?"

Zhou Shuren wanted to say that he is the most suitable, he is the most brainwashed, but he can't mention himself, "Your Highness can ask Your Majesty."

The prince asked this, but Zhou Hou thought in his heart, "Well."

Zhou's family, Zhulan is in a good mood. In two days, the donated materials have been stored. The house in Zhuangzi is built together with the greenhouse, and the people nearby are hired to help. The number of people is strong, and the progress is good.

Mrs. Li lost a lot of weight in the past two days and was tired. "Mother, when will the orphanage start accepting orphans?"

Zhulan's good mood is gone again, and there are still too many things to be busy with, "You can do it now, let's start with the village near Zhuangzi."

The voice fell, and the female official came in, "Old Madam, the Queen Mother sent a message, and the orphans adopted by Dongcheng were sent to the folk orphanage."

Zhulan was not surprised, "Yes, I will send someone to take over, and when Zhuangzi's house is built, the children will be picked up."

After the female official left, Zhulan planned to go to Dongcheng to see the children in person, and asked Butler Ding to prepare the carriage.

Zhulan took Mr. Li with him. Mrs. Li was sitting by the window and kept looking outside. Zhulan asked, "What are you looking at?"

Mrs Li turned back, "Mother, let me see if there are any beggars on the street."

Zhulan, "Don't look for it, there won't be any."

There are basically no beggars on the streets of the capital, because the capital has been rebuilt all the time. In the absence of modern machinery, a lot of manpower is needed. Beggars are also manpower. Some of them were farmed in Huangzhuang, and some were taken away and cultivated. Over time, beggars who beg for a living were reluctant to enter Beijing, for fear of being taken out of their strength.

Mrs. Li stopped mentioning the beggars, but instead asked, "Mother, how many orphans do you think there will be?"

Zhulan, "I'll know when the time comes."

Arriving in Dongcheng, Zhulan frowned as she walked in. How should I put it, the children looked blank and did not have the vitality of children. The boys were better, but the girls were even more numb the old lady of discipline Say what is what.

After observing quietly, Zhulan couldn't go on like this, just mess around. She had hope for these orphans, and their seeds were inherited.

Zhulan said: "The Queen Mother's will, let me take over these orphans."

The steward said respectfully: "The word has been sent, this is the list of 173 orphans."

Zhulan motioned for Mrs. Li to take it, and went to see how much food was left. She didn't talk to the children, who were under the care of the stewardess.

Li returned to the carriage and frowned, "Mother, daughter-in-law has a heavy heart, these children are not lively at all, speak louder, they all hide in fear."

Zhulan, "I know it."

She has already figured out how to change the status quo.

Mrs. Li is no longer worried after hearing this, her mother-in-law is the most powerful, and she has learned a lot in the past few days.

Zhulan looked at Mrs. Li. She would take Mrs. Li with her wherever she went in the future. Mrs. Li was the future Mrs. Zhou Hou. After she died, Mrs. Li would continue her thoughts.
