Chapter 1490 numbness
Changli twisted a handkerchief to apply to his son's forehead, and the servant came in, "Criminal, the county magistrate is here."
Changli stood up, "Look at the young master, please notify me any time if you have anything."
"yes."
When Changli arrived at the restaurant, the county magistrate quickly got up, "I heard that the young master is sick, how can he be better now?"
Chang Li signaled to the county magistrate to sit down, but there was not much smile on his face. "I am a little confused and wanted to ask the county magistrate, "I didn't get the fish cakes and food from the court here?"
The county magistrate said in his heart: "I got it."
Chang Li sneered, "Can you give it to the people to help you?"
Sweat broke out on the county magistrate's forehead, "It was divided, and every household received food and fish cakes to help him."
Chang Li has investigated, and the county magistrate in front of him is not a good one. He has indeed divided the life-saving food, but not much, so more are sold privately.
The county magistrate did not want to continue talking about food, so he changed the topic and continued: "It is difficult to buy meat now, and the wild animals on the mountain are not easy to hunt. The despicable Wu family will attack the children."
As he said that, the county magistrate felt a sense of disgust in his stomach. It was so disgusting.
Chang's expression was deep, but he continued to talk about the topic. He was already angry with the Wu family, but now he was very calm. "The Liu family sold the orphans of the heroes who defended the country, and his heart was punished. This prince has already stated the situation and sent it back to the capital."
The county magistrate's calves were trembling, and he comforted himself. He gave food and fish cakes to every household. He was not afraid of being investigated and did not dare to look in the prince's eyes. "The Liu family has been in prison and is waiting for the demise."
Chang Li picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, "The county magistrate should do a good job of investigation. My father said that once a person's moral bottom line is broken, it is easy to be contagious. I think it is not an isolated case for the Wu family to buy children."
The county magistrate was stunned, his lips were trembling, and his mind was buzzing. Once it was found out, there was no need to investigate the embezzlement of grain and fish cakes, and his career was over.
Chang Li put down the teacup, "It is not easy to be born as a human being. Since some people do not cherish it and have to wear human skin as animals, then treat them as animals. What do you think of the county magistrate?"
The county magistrate swallowed, "I'll go check now, check carefully."
What he can ask for now is to make up for his merits. As for the prince who silences, don't think about it, he won't dare to do it anymore.
Changli and other county magistrates left and sat silently. His chest was full of anger. The Wu family bought the Liu family's siblings, but they were not short of food. When the search was conducted, the Wu family had a lot of food, and they were really beasts.
Chang Li's letter was sent back to the capital two days later and was sent directly to the Ministry of Revenue.
When Zhou Shuren received the letter, he was talking to the prince. Shuren was still surprised when he received the letter. Why did his family letter be delivered to the Ministry of Revenue? He opened it and handed the letter to the prince. "Your Highness the Prince, too."
The prince took the letter in confusion, read it and patted the table, "Things that are worse than beasts."
Zhou Shuren saw the anger of his eldest son from the lines. Honest people are very frightening to be angry. This time, the eldest son will grow a lot. He took back his mind and said, "This matter will not be an exception."
The prince looked cold and said, "Check, I want to pull out all these beasts."
Zhou Shuren gave an idea, "If you have a shortage of people when you open up the land, you will use it as a beast."
The prince thought this idea was good, "Death was a relief for them, and Zhou Hou had a very good idea, so that they could open up land and farm until they died."
Zhou Shuren sighed and said, "I think the soldiers and orphans came to Beijing, so it is best to send someone to ease their psychology, so as not to have some children with extreme psychological extremes."
The little boy in the letter was so stimulating that he had a lot of psychological problems. If he didn't establish his views, he would wait, and there must be a newspaper.
The prince pondered, "What the Marquis said is right, but who is the right person to send?"
Zhou Shuren wanted to say that he was the most suitable, he was the best at brainwashing, so he couldn't mention himself, "Your Highness, please ask Your Majesty."
The prince asked this, and he was thinking about Zhou Hou, "Yeah."
The Zhou family, Zhulan, was in a good mood. In two days, the donated materials had been stored. The house and the greenhouse in the village were built together, and the nearby people were hired to help. There were many people and the strength was strong, and the progress was good.
Li has lost a lot of weight in the past two days and is tired. "Mom, when will the orphanage start collecting orphans?"
Zhulan's good mood is gone again, and there are still too many things to be busy with. "It's okay now, start with the village near Zhuangzi."
After the words came, the female official came in, "The old lady and the queen mother passed the message, and the orphan adopted by Dongcheng entered a private orphanage."
Zhulan was not surprised, "Yes, I will send someone to take over. When the house in the village is built, I will pick up the children."
After the female official left, Zhulan was about to go to Dongcheng to see the children in person and ask Butler Ding to prepare the carriage.
Zhulan took Li with her. Li sat by the window and kept looking outside. Zhulan asked, "What are you looking at?"
Li turned around, "Mom, let's see if there are any beggars on the street."
Zhulan, “Stop looking for it, there won’t be any.”
There are basically no beggars on the streets of Beijing. It is entirely because the capital has been renovated. Without modern machinery, a lot of manpower is needed. Beggars are also manpower. Older beggars are taken away to build houses and exchange them for food. Some of the younger ones are taken to farm in the imperial village, and some are taken away to train. Over time, beggars who beg for a living are unwilling to enter Beijing because they are afraid that they will be taken away from their strength.
Mrs. Li didn't mention beggars anymore, but asked, "Mom, how many orphans do you think there will be?"
Zhulan, “I’ll know then.”
When they arrived in Dongcheng, Zhulan frowned when she walked in. What should I say? The children looked idly and did not have the vitality of the children. The boys were better, and the girls became even more numb. What the disciplined mother said was what.
After Zhulan observed quietly, she could not continue like this and was not allowed to live a life of silence. 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 manager said respectfully: "The message has been sent here. This is the list of one hundred and seventy-three orphans."
Zhulan signaled Li to take it and went to see how much food was left. She didn't talk to the children. The children were under the supervision of the woman. She couldn't ask anything, and she didn't stay long before she went back.
Li returned to the carriage and frowned, "Mom, my daughter-in-law is very heavy in her heart. These children are not lively at all. They speak louder, and they are all afraid to hide."
Zhulan, “I know it in my heart.”
She has already figured out how to change the status quo.
Li was no longer worried after hearing this. Her mother-in-law was the most powerful in her heart. She has also learned a lot in the past few days.
