"Orphanage?"
Dugu Mo and Bao Lao had never heard of such names, but they could easily understand the meaning of the words.
Old Leopard said: "Is it a house for orphans?"
"That's right." Wu Zhe said, "I suggest spending three million taels of silver to build several orphanages within Wu State. If possible, we will open them to Jin State and Qi State in the future. Of course, we can only consider them now. It’s within the territory of Wu Kingdom.”
Dugu Mo thought for a moment and said: "Understood, this is to earn fame. It's just..."
He hesitated for a moment, and Old Leopard said, "Although it costs too much to just sponsor some orphans. How can we sustain it? Is it worth spending a lot of money to earn a little reputation?"
"When the orphans are brought up, just let them out?" Wu Zhe said with a smile, "No, no, I'll teach a group of people, tell them who raised them,? ?br >
"Ah! Cultivate dead soldiers!" Leopard Lao slapped his hands, "That's right. Orphans are willing to risk their lives for a living. This makes it easier to train dead soldiers."
Wu Zhe nodded: "Basically, this is the way of thinking. Although not every orphan has to be trained to be a warrior, but loyalty to the master is a must."
"Miss Zhou, I think your suggestion is good, but there is something wrong with it. I haven't figured it out yet." Dugu Mo didn't speak for a long time, but he said to the point: "Cultivate these orphans and directly teach them to be loyal to me. I will definitely be impeached by someone with a heart. At that time, let alone earning a reputation, even my own reputation will be difficult to protect.”
"I've also considered this, but I can actually change my thinking." Wu Zhe introduced: "When a person is growing up in his teens, he must have a belief. Especially from the early ten to fourteen years old, it is very important. A period of time that can last a lifetime. We just need to teach common knowledge during this four-year period. Tell them who raised them, and that's enough."
"Teaching general knowledge?" Old Bao and Dugu Mo listened freshly.
"It means literacy, spells, natural history and other knowledge. If you have Xuanwu qualifications, teach Xuanwu."
Old Leopard said: "If they are Xuanwu soldiers, they will be directly loyal to the Xuanwu female generals. But will it be effective? Enough to make them become dead soldiers?"
Old Bao smiled and said, "Ha, it would be a good idea to teach them to be loyal to Miss Zhou."
Dugu Mo didn't make a sound.
He still doesn't fully trust Wu Zhe. It would be fine if she could be her roommate. But now, although the relationship is good, but he can only serve as a consultant and guest secretary, how can he trust her with a large number of people?
"Let these people worship me? Don't be funny. It sounds interesting, but I can't afford it." Wu Zhe giggled.
Old Leopard laughed and said, "Miss Zhou has cinnabar on her eyebrows, she looks like a female Bodhisattva. The way of saving suffering is very good, and it is easy to make those orphans worship."
Dugu Mo still didn't make a sound.
Wu Zhe took his reaction into his eyes, shook his head and said, "I'm too lazy to lead people, at most I can help you give pointers on what the gentlemen teach children, or it would be interesting to play a cameo once in a while."
This is tantamount to rejecting the plan to serve as a religious idol similar to the Xuanwu female general. Dugu Mo felt at ease.
His suspicion followed that of Emperor Xuanwu.
"No, teaching and educating people, buying people's hearts, this is just a combined effect." Wu Zhe shook his finger: "Actually, we want to expand the charity effect through the orphanage and use it to make money!"
"Make money?" Dugu Mo and Bao Lao were puzzled by what they heard: "Can you still make money by doing good deeds?"
"You guys can't guess this? When I'm free, I often think about how to make money." Wu Zhe pretended to be mysterious: "Hey, the orphanage is just the most conspicuous welfare undertaking, and we can also open a charity hall." A place that gives cheap medical care to the poor. Most importantly...accepts charitable donations! Understand?"
Old Leopard said: "Charitable donations? Oh, I understand. It's donations. For example, for disaster relief, there are often big benevolent households who donate money and food during disasters and do charitable deeds."
Wu Zhe said: "That's right, most of these acts of kindness are spontaneous and unofficial. But we are going to set up a charity hall, in the name of a semi-official one. As Prince Mo, we are calling for donations."
"Solicitation?"
"Well, fundraising. The most critical part of this strategy is to call in professional fundraisers." Wu Zhe moved over a charity practice from another world: "Fundraisers can use their various strengths to use their personal channels and friends. Ways to get donations from other people. And most importantly…”
Wu Zhe paused for a moment, and then said under the intense gaze of Dugu Mo and Bao Lao: "Fundraisers can get 20% or even more of the donation commission!"
"Commission for donations?" Elder Bao and Prince Mo were even more puzzled.
The commission can be understood. The achievement of 20% promotion means that if you collect donations of ten taels of silver, you can get a reward of two taels of silver.
Old Leopard objected: "Why is there a commission for fundraising? Isn't charity supposed to be selfless?"
"Have you ever thought about why it is difficult to carry out charitable deeds widely, but only a small number of people's spontaneous and small-scale actions cannot form a large scale?" Wu Zhe said with a smile: "The reason is not to treat most people as saints. And the friends of saints are very What’s less, they are also concerned about their reputation and cannot obtain charitable funds by various means. It is a very cost-effective move to make use of the strengths of ordinary people, even greedy bad guys, to ensure that the total amount of charitable funds increases.”
Dugu Mo listened silently for a long time, but his eyes gradually brightened.
"We have to do good deeds as a business, and make those who raise money profitable, so that we can raise more money." Wu Zhe said the operating principle of another world: "The most important thing about doing charity is not A kind heart, but a wide range of connections... ”
"That's the truth!" Dugu Mo slapped the table for the last time, and excitedly said, "Miss Zhou, you can see people's hearts and world affairs so thoroughly. Only in this way, if you treat doing good deeds as a business, can you do good deeds."
Wu Zhe nodded and said, "Well, as long as we don't disclose the accounts, who knows how much the charity has been withdrawn? Even if the fundraiser withdraws 20%, we withdraw 30%, and only keep the remaining 50% for charity, that's enough."
"Ms. Zhou, please explain in detail." Dugu Mo's eyes were burning, and it was the first time he was exposed to such a way of doing things.
"We need to strictly control the identity of fundraisers. We also need to create an offline system, that is, upper-level fundraisers can get a certain percentage of the lower-level fundraisers' commission..." Wu Zhe explained the principle of the most extensive fundraising, which made Dugu Mo and Old Leopard was dumbfounded.
The suggestion of doing good deeds made Dugu Mo no longer worry about money. (To be continued..)
