Zhu Lin smiled. He knew that the policeman in front of him would be willing, because the eyes he looked at these children were full of love and pity, which was very different from the indifferent expressions of others.
A month later, the first orphanage in Xiliang Kingdom was opened. On the opening day, the county magistrate came in person and donated two hundred taels of silver in front of the people, and expressed his gratitude to Zhu Lin and Zhao Si. of gratitude.
With the county magistrate as an example, the originally skeptical commoners and wealthy gentry generously donated their money and efforts to run the orphanage in a great way, providing provision for the homeless children. A place to stay.
Zhu Lin knew that teaching children how to fish would be better for them than teaching them how to fish, so he not only invited teachers to open schools for the children, but also found some masters who knew how to make a living and come to teach regularly, because he knew very well that it was not Every child can take the scientific examination route when he grows up. These children who are not interested in studying can choose the profession they want to learn, such as carpentry, blacksmith, engraver, gold and silversmith, bricklayer, any skill that can make a living. , they can all learn it, and the girls can learn embroidery, and they have signed an agreement with the embroidery spinner in the city. As long as the embroidery skills learned by the girls in the orphanage reach a certain level, the embroidery spinner will accept them unconditionally, allowing them to By becoming an embroiderer, you don't have to rely on men and you can support yourself. When you get older, you may also be an embroiderer, or an orphanage may come forward to find a suitable in-law for the girl.
When everything was arranged, three months had slipped by like sand in a finger.
"Brother Zhao, I will leave all the affairs of the orphanage to you in the future!"
Zhao Si looked at Zhu Lin in confusion: "You want to leave?"
Zhu Lin nodded: "Yes, I'm leaving. I still have very important things to do. It is Zhu Lin's luck to meet like-minded Brother Zhao in this huge sea of people!"
Zhao Si knew long ago that Zhu Lin would leave. How could a person like him live in such a small place forever? He belonged to a wider area, but he didn't expect that the separation would come so quickly.
Zhu Lin took out a few banknotes from the space ring, handed the banknotes to Zhao Si, and said: "You can take this money. Nowadays, the reputation of the orphanage is getting better and better, and more and more children are coming here after hearing the news. The more we have, the more places we will need money in the future.”
Zhao Sigang wanted to refuse, but Zhu Lin said again: "Don't refuse, the orphanage is what I want to run, and I can't let the orphanage become ruined because of money."
Zhao Si didn't say any more and nodded: "The orphanage does need money. The donations from the squires are simply not enough. Now there is a steady stream of children looking for them. From now on -"
He didn't say any more, and Zhu Lin naturally understood. He straightened up and said, "Before accepting a child, you must first find out his family background. Some people are crooked and see that there is a place where they don't have to pay to raise a child, but if Baba sends it, Such people cannot be accepted, they must be sent back, and their parents must know that the orphanage only accepts orphans. What does orphans mean? Those are children who have no fathers, no mothers, and no successors in life. They have to give themselves food and clothing. If carefree children come to compete with these poor people for food, can they still be able to swallow it at home?"
Zhao Si understood who he was talking about. Several families had already left their well-dressed children at the door of the orphanage. Those children were all children who could speak and remember things. After careful interrogation for a while, he naturally understood what to do. thing.
