My life skills in Daming Liver

Chapter 144 Plan to Write Beginner's Textbooks

How to arrange these abducted children, including those homeless newsboys on the street, the first thing Su Ze thought of was naturally Mr. Fang.

In addition to the Huimin Pharmacy Bureau, the welfare institutions of the Ming Dynasty also had a nursing home.

Nursing homes, similar to modern nursing homes and welfare homes, are the ancestral law set by Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, since the mid-Ming Dynasty, the nursing home has been declining day by day, and this system has existed in name only in many places.

The reason is also very simple. The fiscal revenue of the local government is increasingly stretched. With the reduction of government revenue, the first thing to cut is the expenditure of welfare institutions such as Huimin Pharmacy and Nursing Home.

There should also be a nursing home in Nanping County, but those houses have already collapsed, and only the superiors will catch some old people and children from the street to make up for it when the inspectors leave. come out.

Since this "Mr. Fang" likes to do welfare so much, let her be urged to set up a nursing home.

In this way, these children on the streets of Nanping will have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

Su Ze made up his mind, and took a few children who had been crippled by leprosy, and went to Huimin Pharmacy after dawn.

As soon as Huimin Pharmacy opened, Su Ze brought the children in. Huang Tiju gasped when he saw the miserable conditions of these children.

Su Ze said: "These are street children who have met someone who picks and cuts."

Huang Tiju hurriedly took the medicine box and treated these children.

"What an inhumane thing! Three of the children are permanently disabled. The other two are still connected."

After Huang Tiju finished watching the patient, he said to Su Ze in a heavy tone.

"Mr. Su, what about those people who harvest and cut off?"

"All of them have been sent to the county government. They won't have a better life before they die."

Chen Shufei is the jailer of the county government prison, and there are many ways to concoct prisoners in the prison.

For example, if they were locked on the side of the barrel, or the shackles were tied so tightly that their hands and feet would be disabled in just a few days.

These life-harvesting, mutilation, and mutilation are unforgivable capital crimes, and the chief culprits like Manida are even more severe crimes of Ling Chi's death. Chen Shufei must "entertain" them well, and let them suffer before going on the road.

Hearing that the culprit had been arrested, Huang Ti cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Su is really kind."

Su Ze said: "In addition to asking Huang Tiju to see a doctor, I have one more thing to ask Huang Tiju to come here."

"Huang will definitely help!"

Su Ze said: "Su wants to meet that Mr. Fang from last time."

"Master Fang?"

Huang Tiju hesitated, and Su Ze said, "I want to talk to Mr. Fang about the nursing home."

Nursing home? Huang Tiju understood what Su Ze meant, and he immediately said, "I'll send someone to invite Mr. Fang over here."

After a while, Fang Ruolan, disguised as a man, appeared in Huimin Pharmacy.

Seeing those tortured children, Fang Ruolan's heart of the Virgin overflowed, Su Ze immediately said while the iron was hot:

"Mr. Fang, the reason why these children are targeted by the harvesters is because they have no stable residence. According to the ancestral system of Emperor Hongwu, the county should have a nursing home to take in these orphans."

Fang Ruolan also nodded and said: "It should be so, but the nursing home in Nanping County has been in disrepair for a long time, and the government and county government have not allocated funds to repair it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Su, I will try my best to find a way to ask the government and county government to allocate money to repair the nursing home so that the orphans in the city can have a place to live."

Fang Ruolan had already tossed about the Nursing Home when Fang Zhifu was still the county magistrate.

However, compared with Huimin Pharmacy, which is still profitable, the maintenance cost of the Nursing Home is too high, and even if the government allocates funds, it will not last long.

Su Ze said: "I just want to ask the government and county government to repair and tidy up the house as soon as possible. The daily operating expenses will be paid by the editorial department of "Surprise".

Fang Ruolan looked at Su Ze, and Su Ze said: "The editorial department of "Surprise" has hired some newsboys to sell newspapers, and their income from selling newspapers can support the daily expenses of the nursing home. You just need to ask Mr. Fang to hire some people. Just watch them cook for their kids."

Su Ze has not been in the county for a long time. You must know that in an organization like the Nursing Home, if no one is watching, someone will definitely get money from it.

In the absence of constraints and supervision, human beings often break through the lower limit faster than imagined.

Su Ze knew the truth well, so he called Mr. Fang and asked her to supervise this matter.

Fang Ruolan immediately understood what Su Ze meant, and she immediately said, "I will find some reliable people to cook and mend for the children."

Su Ze cupped his hands and said, "On behalf of the children in the city, thank you Mr. Fang."

Huang Tiju also said: "I, Huimin Pharmacy, are also willing to contribute. From now on, I will boil an extra pot of sour plum soup every day, and let these children sell it for free, and the money from the sale will be subsidized to the nursing home."

Both Su Ze and Fang Ruolan looked at Huang Tiju in surprise, and Huang Tiju said, "Well, I will go to the Nursing Home every month to treat the children for one day."

Fang Ruolan bowed respectfully to Huang Ti and said: "The doctor is kind, thank you Huang Ti!"

When people can help others by raising their hands, they can often show superb moral feelings.

Modern people and the ancients are not morally superior or inferior. If helping others can earn the respect of others, many people are willing to help others within their ability.

And when helping others is considered a fool by the society, and helping others may be framed, naturally not many people are willing to come forward.

Huang Tiju had received help from Su Ze and Fang Ruolan, and he was willing to help others as much as possible. This is not because he has very high morals, but just the simple morality of helping others.

"I still have to go to the county school to attend classes, so I will trouble Huang Tiju to take care of these children."

"Don't worry, Mr. Su. Although the old man is not skilled in medicine, it is no problem to save the lives of these children."

Su Ze bowed his hands and said goodbye to Huang Tiju, and Fang Ruolan, and went back to the county school for class.

After Hai Rui finished his lecture, he called Su Ze to ask about this matter. Su Ze told Hai Rui the whole process. Hai Rui frowned and said:

"I didn't expect Nanping County to have such heartless people! Thanks to Ru Lin for bringing them to justice!"

"The teacher's reputation is too high. In addition, I contacted some friends and wanted to ask the prefecture and county to reopen the nursing home and take in these orphans in the city."

Hai Rui stroked his beard and said, "Huimin Pharmacy Bureau, Nursing Home, and Louze Garden are originally the benevolent government of the dynasty, but these years the government has gradually neglected them, and these institutions have gradually fallen into disrepair. The government and the county have written a letter, please re-run the nursing home!"

Su Ze had an idea and said: "Teacher, the so-called raising and teaching these children have no parents. Even if they have a nursing home, they can only have a place to eat and stay. If they are left unattended, they will probably go wrong in the future." road."

Hai Rui also nodded, obviously he understood what Su Ze meant.

These street children, even when they grow up, have very few jobs.

Either become an arhat like Xiong Wu, or join a club like Bawang Club, or even go astray like Lai Da.

After all, there are only a small number of people who come out of the silt without being stained. The growth environment of most people determines their fate for a lifetime. These days, it is difficult for children from poor families to stand up, let alone these lonely and helpless children.

Su Ze said: "The students want the teacher to also manage the nursing home."

Hai Rui thought about it, the promotion from the Nursing Home was the same as the promotion from the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, they were neither officials nor officials, and they both had no salary.

This kind of position is either managed by the officials of the county government, or it is done by local gentry and celebrities.

Su Ze was obviously not at ease with these people. With Hai Rui in charge of the nursing home, it was also possible to prevent anyone from reaching into the nursing home.

Hai Rui is the teacher of the county school and an official of the imperial court. With him in charge of the Nursing Home, those who work below will not dare to be greedy for money, let alone child abuse.

Hai Rui quickly agreed.

Su Ze said again: "Teacher, I also want to invite some colleagues to give lectures to these children, not to ask them to take the imperial examination, to be able to read and understand, to be able to read and count, and to have a means of making a living in the future."

Hai Rui also agreed with Su Ze's idea and said, "Your idea is very good. If the county school is free, I will also give lectures to the children."

"Then thank you teacher!"

Coming out of Hai Rui's study, Su Ze immediately came to the editorial department of "Surprise".

When talking with Hai Rui just now, Su Ze had another idea.

In fact, for modern people, the Three Character Classic is not a particularly good textbook for enlightenment.

As the most basic enlightenment textbook of Confucianism, the Three Character Classic still contains a lot of content about the Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Principles, as well as a lot of dross.

Moreover, as a textbook for elementary school, the ultimate purpose of "San Zi Jing" is to serve Kaimeng imperial examinations.

Obviously, these ideas are not conducive to Su Ze's need for rebellion.

What he wants is not to cultivate old-fashioned scholars who are loyal to the emperor, but to cultivate the next generation with new ideas.

The children in the nursing home are themselves vagrants in the city. They themselves are the bottom of the society, and the feudal loyalty to the monarch is not strong.

They lived on the streets since they were young, and they also understand the importance of struggle.

At this time, more advanced enlightenment teaching materials are needed!

Thinking of this, Su Ze thought of writing his own children's enlightenment textbook. Doesn't he have the golden passive skill of "Six Classics Note Me"? You can write your own thoughts into the textbooks and subtly cultivate these children!

As soon as he thought of this, Su Ze immediately came to the editorial department who was so surprised. He not only needed to write textbooks, but also needed someone to help teach.

After all, it is impossible for Su Ze to come to the city to teach these children every day. The only scholars he knows now are Chen Qingchao and Lin Qingcai.

Grasping the idea of ​​sleeping in the wool if he can make wool, Su Ze naturally came to ask the two for help.

"Brother Su wants us to enlighten the children in the nursing home?"

Su Ze shook his head and said, "It's impossible for all these children to take the imperial examination. As long as they can study well and learn some skills for making a living, it's fine. They don't want to start the imperial examination."

Hearing that Su Ze didn't want all the children in the nursing home to take the imperial examination, both Chen and Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Scholars in Nanping County can tolerate children from poor families like Su Ze taking the imperial examination, but they cannot tolerate orphans also taking the imperial examination.

The number of students in each prefecture and county is limited, and the more people there are, the more intense the competition will be.

Even Chen Chaoyuan and Lin Qingcai breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Su Ze didn't want to train their children to study and take the imperial examination.

People all go to the house to take the ladder, and they want to sink the boat when they go ashore. This is due to human nature.

Su Ze's ambition is not to train these children to become officials in the imperial examination. If he really rebels in the future, he will also need new bureaucrats with new ideas. It is definitely the best to train them himself.

Moreover, talent is a matter of long-term investment. The so-called "ten years of trees and a hundred years of people", if a few of these children can become talents, they are worthy of Su Ze's investment.

"I'm going to write a more simple and popular enlightenment book. If there are Jianyang refugees outside the city who can engrave and print these days, please brother Chen help me pay attention."

Chen Chaoyuan immediately said: "Brother Su, don't worry, this is easy."

Jianyang was breached by Japanese pirates, and many skilled engraving craftsmen fled from Jianyang. Su Ze also wanted to take the opportunity to expand the manpower of the printing workshop.

Su Ze said to Lin Qingcai again: "Brother Lin, your Lin family also has sociology students?"

Lin Qingcai nodded. Social studies and health studies are similar. They are private schools run within the family, and generally focus on enlightenment.

Lin Qingcai and his brother Lin Qingyuan, who was a scribe in the county school, were both educated in family sociology.

Su Ze said: "Can I ask you to accept the people of Kaimeng as the tutor of the Nursing Home?"

Lin Qingcai thought for a while and said, "I have a younger brother who has studied for several years and is still farming at home."

Su Ze said: "I'm willing to give Shu Xiu a tael of silver a month, and ask him to teach elementary school in the nursing home for an hour every morning. I will provide the teaching materials and pen and ink."

"When I go to the city at the beginning and middle of the month, I will also go to the nursing home to give lectures to the children."

Lin Qingcai thought about it, although a tael of silver is not much, but as a part-time job it is considered rich.

My younger brother can also read books when he is farming at home, and he can use some pens, inks, papers and inkstones when he goes to teach in a nursing home.

Lin Qingcai said: "Then I'll talk to my clan brother, and he should agree."

Fang Ruolan acted very quickly, and news soon came from the government office that she was willing to contribute fifty taels of money to repair the Nursing Home.

The Nursing Home in Nanping City is a row of low, dilapidated houses near Tongyifang, Ximen. Some of the houses have collapsed, only the door and the front of the house are still intact, which are reserved for Shangguan inspection.

The magistrate's yamen contributed money, and Baizhi County also squeezed out thirty taels of silver from the county government's public funds.

Su Ze still didn't think it was enough, so he asked the second son, an angel investor, to beg for twenty taels of silver.

The three brothers of the Chen family saw the miserable situation of these children, and they also pooled ten taels of silver.

Sun Dianshi of the county government's punishment room also knew the news, and also took out ten taels of silver.

The news of Su Ze's petition to the Sanitarium came, and at this time his benefits as a celebrity in the county were revealed.

Chen Moqun, head of Yanping Academy, and his good friend Mr. Tuohu each contributed 20 taels of silver, and students from the prefecture and the academy also raised 20 taels of silver.

Su Ze paid another two hundred taels out of his pocket and donated the money to the government office. With a swipe of his pen, Fang Zhifu ordered the craftsmen to carve a stone tablet when the repair of the Sanatorium was completed, recording the generosity of the restoration of the Sanitarium today. list of personnel.

After finishing all this work, Su Ze raised his head and saw a bright moon in the sky, only then did he remember that today is August 15th, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
