After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Huiyun was speechless for a long time before she sighed and asked:

"That person is... going to the city to buy some slaves?"

Chen Qingzhu shook his head.

"Go to the city and take in some older beggars, and help the Salesian Church take care of the babies. After three or four years, these babies will grow up and be able to move around on their own, and that will be much easier."

Children from poor families become parents early.

Although Chen Qingzhu's family was relatively wealthy before the great change, they had also seen how the people in the village lived.

Children as young as three or four years old have already started helping adults with things within their ability. They do not need to be taken care of all the time and can even gradually help out.

"That's a good idea."

Huiyun said.

In the past, there were many little girls in the family who were just four or five years old and were already being ordered to do work.

Beggars who can move around on the streets are at least five or six years old, so there is no problem for them to help take care of babies.

Although it requires some work, it is much better than starving and freezing on the streets.

"It's just that there seem to be very few young beggars in the city. I wonder if we can find enough of them."

Chen Qingzhu felt that Huiyun’s concerns were also a problem. After all, it was difficult for young children to survive outside.

In a cold winter, there is a cold wind, and who knows how many people will die.

It’s not necessarily easy to find a little beggar.

After a little thought, he added:

"If you can't find enough little beggars, go to the charity office to buy them. The children in the charity office don't live any better than begging on the street. If you give them some silver, the managers will surely be willing to sell them."

"Hui Jing, estimate the number of people needed first. Hui An, send half of the people to escort Hui Yun and Hui Ming down the mountain to select people."

Although it is unlikely that Pei Xiao will be able to capture members of Cihang Temple at this critical moment, he still has to be prepared for the possibility.

Going with more people will be more eye-catching and safer.

"If you don't have enough money, come to me and get some."

Hui'an was particularly happy that it not only solved the manpower problem, but also helped more poor and helpless children improve their situations.

Rarely, a smile appeared on their faces:

"The abbot really has a kind heart!"

Chen Qingzhu smiled without commenting.

She doesn't have such a kind heart. Most of the time, she just won't do anything unless there is something beneficial to her.

At the beginning, she actually wanted to use the name of Salesian Hall to accumulate more military power for Cihang Temple.

Looking at the dynasties throughout history, if one wants to truly stand firm, it is definitely not enough to just be popular for a while.

They have to be like the noble families of the past, with land and private soldiers, so as not to be easily controlled by the imperial court.

Nowadays, some large temples are also taking this approach.

Land can be acquired slowly, but private soldiers must be deployed early so that there is enough time to cultivate their loyalty and improve their military strength.

Pei Xiao happened to send her some money and wanted to make use of this matter, so she took the opportunity to propose building a charity church.

No one could be more loyal than the orphan she raised.

Chen Qingzhu was caught off guard by the number of babies sent to him.

But this is not without help to Cihang Temple.

At least for her, it was a big surprise!

At that time, she brought all the people here with her, thinking that if she didn't care, these babies would die.

Fortunately, she had money now and didn't have to worry about feeding a few more mouths, so she assigned someone to take care of it.

Unexpectedly, on the night after taking in the four babies, she suddenly found that the speed of absorbing spiritual energy had increased!

And the effect is immediate, doubling the speed.

I remembered that I once heard in the world of cultivation that there is still a very small group of people in this world who follow the path of practicing merit and virtue.

It dawned on her.

Although she didn't have any skills to cultivate merit, she didn't know what the specific principle was.

But if it doesn't harm your own interests and doesn't take up too much extra time, you might as well try doing some good deeds.

Her aptitude was impaired, and according to original estimates, it would take at least another year for her to be promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

If she could maintain this speed, the time it would take her to reach the fourth level of Qi Refining would be shortened by half.

At the fourth level of Qi Refining, one can release the true Qi, and kill people invisibly within a certain distance.

It can better protect the safety of her and Cihang Temple than any real money.

If you can increase your cultivation speed by just spending some money, it is actually very cost-effective.

Anyway, as for money, as long as her cultivation level gets higher and higher, she can squeeze it continuously from the powerful and wealthy.
