When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

For a time, the Bai family had such a good reputation that everyone praised them, and anyone who saw them would say: I admire you!

The original intention of establishing the "Orphanage" was to solve problems within the Chamber of Commerce, but unexpectedly it ended up saving many orphans.

One year, the winter was extremely cold and the heavy snow crushed many poor people's houses, killing many people.

Although the government also dispatched rescue operations, to be honest, it did not solve any problems well.

The government just cleaned up the dead.

In order to find the bodies from the collapsed houses in time and bury them in the wasteland, all the available manpower in Chuncheng had been mobilized.

That's it!

However, there are still alive children who were protected by their parents with their lives.

Where to go?

Children who lose their parents are orphans!

The government can manage it for a while...

Hi! Actually, I can’t take care of it right away, after all, I have a newborn baby.

County Magistrate Gu was extremely anxious and sent letters to his superiors for help, but all of them fell on deaf ears.

It is obvious that the snow disaster affected more than one place, and the court’s disaster relief funds were limited, a drop in the bucket. Who should be rescued and who should not be rescued?

The rice soup in Gu County Magistrate's house was not enough to feed the children. These little mouths had nothing to eat and were starving! The crying could be heard from far away.

When I was really desperate, I found the "Orphanage".

The person in charge of the "Yanyutang" is Yun Yi.

County Magistrate Gu never expected that the Bai family would let a woman be the head of this "nurturing hall".

Little did he know that this "nursing home" was timely.

Yun Yi also accepted his fate.

It was normal to let Yun Yi be in charge of the nursing home and kindergarten.

Yun Yi is a very capable woman, but her marriage is unhappy, so she left home early to make a living. Shi Yi admired her ability and hired her to be the head of the family.

But in this world where men are respected, it is still shocking to see a female housekeeper.

No matter how outstanding this woman is, no one cares. They only see the fact that she is a woman.

County Magistrate Gu was a little hesitant, wondering whether the female steward could make the decision.

It is said that this place belongs to the Bai family, but the head of the Bai family is not here. This is really frustrating.

The county government had just about no room for the children it was taking in and was running out of room to feed them.

He really couldn't wait for any relief from the court, so he slapped his thigh and took the risk and went to find this female housekeeper.

No matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat!

Whoever can solve the orphan problem now will be the Goddess of Mercy!

County Magistrate Gu coughed, cleared his throat, and began formally:

"Well, Master Yun, I asked you to come here to discuss something.

The relief grain from the imperial court has not arrived, but the number of orphans in and outside the city is increasing, and the county government can no longer accommodate them. "

While saying this, he secretly glanced at Hall Master Yun's expression, afraid that she would look embarrassed. In the end, Hall Master Yun drank her tea calmly.

"Well! I heard that the orphanage has built a lot of houses, and none of them have collapsed. They are very solid! Can you borrow them for a while and let the government accommodate the orphans?"

Of course it was impossible for a single house to collapse. A lot of time and money had been spent on building the houses in the Nursing Home. Yun Yi personally supervised the construction. If any of them collapsed, he would have to die to atone for it.

With so much money spent and real materials used in its construction without any fraud, how could it be collapsed by a heavy snow?

Even if we are unlucky enough to encounter an earthquake, the house must not collapse.

The cost of building the houses in the "nursing hall" is more than ten times that of building houses for ordinary people.

Ordinary people build houses using cheap building materials. They look the same, but when a disaster strikes, they are like paper-made houses and are of no use at all.

Master Yun calmly put down the teacup and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, are you sure how long the government will borrow it?" The county magistrate was speaking on behalf of the government.

County Magistrate Gu: "It's temporary, temporary. I guess the relief money and relief grain from the court are on the way."

He himself did not believe what he said. County Magistrate Gu wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve guiltily. He was not sure about the time.

Hall Master Yun did not expose County Magistrate Gu. He thought for a while and said:

“It’s not impossible, but our orphanage is mainly a place for our Bai Family Chamber of Commerce to provide for the elderly and raise children.

70% of the fees we use are subsidized by the Bai family, and 30% are paid by ourselves.”

Sure enough, before they could even get happy, they talked about the most troublesome issue - who would pay?

County Magistrate Gu: If I had money, I wouldn’t have to look at the face of a woman like you.

However, if you are asking for help from others, it is obvious that you cannot say this. Others have no obligation to raise a child for the government for free.

County Magistrate Gu frowned, wondering how he could persuade this woman. He had no money in his pocket and couldn't even stand up straight.

It's so frustrating to be an official like this!

Hall Master Yun chuckled and said, "County Magistrate Gu, let's be frank. I'm afraid the disaster relief funds will take a long time to arrive, right?"

County Magistrate Gu: Look, even a woman knows this. What are those good-for-nothings in the court doing? They are not even as good as a good old woman!

"The officials in the court will take care of it, they will take care of it...right?"

He himself doubted whether those high-ranking officials could really care about his small county.

He has no foundation in the court, otherwise he would not have been in this position of county magistrate for eight years without being promoted.

Hall Master Yun: "County Magistrate Gu, I don't understand the affairs of the court, but I understand the affairs of the Orphanage.

The money and grain that the orphanage can mobilize is limited every month. Except for the necessary food money, the biggest expense of our orphanage is actually the school. "

Hall Master Yun looked as if he was really thinking about you, and continued, "The teachers in the school were hired from other places at high prices. I won't talk about their level, but most of the money is indeed spent on them.

Who made the learned people in our county unwilling to teach in our orphanage?

County Magistrate Gu: There is such a thing? How come I didn't know about it?

County Magistrate Gu: "So what you mean is that the money for hiring a teacher can be moved?" County Magistrate Gu asked uncertainly.

Hall Master Yun: "Isn't this the only solution? Special matters must be dealt with specially! Now that things have come to this, we have to solve them.

Magistrate Gu, I can use this money to house the orphans you sent here, but how do I solve the problem of teaching in the school?

The bottom line is that primary schools cannot suspend classes!

Otherwise, I can’t bear this responsibility.”

Gu County Magistrate: "Hey! Isn't it just teaching children to read? I know how to do that. I can also transfer a few clerks from my county office.

As long as the orphanage can accommodate all the orphans affected by the snowstorm, I will personally lead the team to teach the children.

The ancient county magistrate quickly sold himself and the county clerks.

Master Yun achieved his goal and stopped while he was ahead.

"Okay, it's a deal." From then on, the sound of reading in the orphanage never stopped. The orphanage accepted all the orphans, and no one starved to death during that cold winter.

This was unique in that winter; in other disaster-stricken areas, countless people starved to death or froze to death.

Human life is so fragile in the face of disaster.

Fortunately, the county magistrate of this small town is a conscientious and honest man who cares about people's livelihood.

When County Magistrate Gu saw the textbooks of "Yangyu Hall", he was deeply shocked.

Others may not fully understand it, but he does!

Although the printing is crude, it is rare to find such practical content.

Arithmetic is something that only a few people can master nowadays.

It is actually used for enlightenment here?

He felt a little dizzy.

Listen to this again, does this make sense?
