Gu Chunzhu was talking to Xiaoli when two yamen servants came back with three dirty children.
The Yamen servant replied, "madam, these are all children begging and wandering in the street."
Just as Gu Chunzhu saw the fence at the beginning, their hair was all glued together and curled, their bodies were all mud, and their hands and feet were black. There is still a wound on his face. He must have fought with others when he was wandering outside.
"Take it to the bathroom first, and then find the parents of these children. If there is no father or mother, we will live in the hall of kindness. If there are parents, they can either send someone to pick them up or write the books The county Lord and his wife told the yamen runner that this was only found in the county town. There are many such poor children in the severely affected towns below the county town.
Those children just looked at people timidly. The yamen runner took a knife and they were afraid. Gu Chunzhu squatted down and said to these dirty little Luobu heads, "first go to the bathroom and put on clean clothes, and then you will have food!"
Sure enough, the haze in these children's eyes was replaced by hope. They were all in excellent spirits. They followed the yamen runner to take a bath.
"Chunzhu, you still have a way." The county magistrate and his wife praised.
"There are four children in my family. Of course, I'm used to coaxing children. Someone can cook here. Don't wait for these children to wash out and find out that I coax them." Gu Chunzhu asked again.
"Yes, it's all yamen servants' family members who have steamed steamed bread in the kitchen. After the rich families have donated money, they will invite their own mother-in-law to the charity hall to cook."
"Madame is thoughtful."
……
After the children were washed clean, the hall of benevolence also hung a plaque. The county Lord and his wife went to the gate and gathered many people.
As soon as firecrackers crackled, more people knew that a charity hall was opened in the county. It was dedicated to raising children. There was a big board on the left side of the gate of the charity hall, on which was written the person who did charity.
Gu Chunzhu's name is high on the front. The board is engraved with a monthly donation of fifty liang of silver. On the contrary, the county magistrate's name is written in the back with a monthly donation of twenty liang of silver.
Gu Chunzhu also saw it after uncovering the red cloth. He immediately dragged the county Lord and his wife aside and murmured, "this is not right. Your master is a county magistrate. How can I cross him?"
"What's wrong? My master is clean and honest. His salary is only sixty-two a year. We just want to donate more, but we are also weak. But there are so many rich people in this town that they can't keep up with my master. Otherwise, how can we keep this hall of kindness? Anyway, the more we donate, the more we will write in front of them and ask them to compare with each other. " The county Lord and his wife explained to Gu Chunzhu.
Gu Chunzhu thought it very reasonable to hear this, which is also a smart idea. I think there will soon be rich gentry who will cross over to leave a name in the county Lord's eyes. They can't send gifts with silver in the past. They can give what they want, and they can't afford to lose their blood.
As they expected, the board was full of names within three days. The richest is the Yan family, who donated fifty Liang in January. For the Yan family who is a senior official in the capital, fifty Liang silver may be the cost of keeping a concubine, which is not worth mentioning.
Moreover, the rich people in February and January are in a small house where Gu Chunzhu and his wife are making abacus.
"Chunzhu, it's calculated that there will be 93 liang of input every month! It's more than enough to raise a child for a hundred yuan in a month. It's even good to eat and drink. Now it can raise nearly a thousand children. " The county Lord and his wife also smiled.
"Well, it's not bad. We don't have nearly a thousand children in the whole county. It's estimated that the donation will go up. In the future, we can run a nursing home. " Gu Chunzhu thinks that the problem of children has been solved. The old man has not yet solved it. In the disaster years, the old, the weak and the sick are always abandoned first.
"What's a nursing home? I guess it's a good idea to support the elderly. It's a good idea to be filial first. I'll go back and talk to my master." The county magistrate and his wife took out a pamphlet and wrote it on it.
"There are also people with disabilities. If their income is not guaranteed, they can also spend some money." Gu Chunzhu mentioned again.
"You are really a Bodhisattva. The Lord always wants the whole county to be harmonious, not too poor and not too rich. Everyone's life is the best. Your idea has solved many problems." It's very pleasant for the county Lord and his wife to see Gu Chunzhu's appearance. If the imperial court is really patrolled, their master's contribution can definitely add a lot.
Gu Chunzhu is ready to take the call. There is a yamen runner outside to report, "madam, a large number of children have been sent outside. Go out and have a look!"
"A lot more?" Mrs. Gu Chunzhu, who was wrinkled by her eyebrows, pointed to her Tucao. "Now these people make complaints about each other. They wish we could raise children for them, but they saved their rice grain. I went out to say that I would write a severance book, and they all walked away in a gray way. It seems that I have to go out for a trip."
"Then let's go together." Gu Chunzhu is holding the arm of the county Lord and his wife. Unexpectedly, there are so many people who don't want to face the autumn wind.When I went out, I saw that the door of the hall of benevolence was full of people. People outside shouted loudly when they saw someone coming out.
"This hall of kindness is just for adopting children. My children are starving. Why don't you let me send them in?"
"That's right. We came here from the countryside. It's said that the county Lord can help us raise children before sending people here. Isn't that why we should pay for a ride?"
"You see there are so many donations written on this board. It's hard not to raise our children. I don't care. Let's send them in."
Gu Chunzhu's chest heaved with anger after listening to this. He had never seen such a shameless person. Fortunately, there was an official in this hall of kindness. If she did good deeds alone, she could not be kidnapped by morality.
She took the county Lord's wife's arm and said, "don't be angry, madam, and don't get along with these tricky people. They are here to take advantage of it."
"I've seen it for a long time. A few days ago, people in the county wanted to send all the children to me to drive them back. Now, I'm afraid that this wave of children came from the nearby villages and towns. Wait for me to make it clear to them." The county Lord and his wife looked more calm, and went to the door and said.
"It's quiet for you to meet each other. We run this charity hall to take in homeless children. This charity hall is also called orphanage. It's not suitable for your children to come here if they have parents or fathers." As soon as the county Lord and his wife spoke, they were quiet. It was the people of the government that they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they listened quietly.
