Chapter 144 Plan to compile elementary school textbooks

How to deal with these abducted children, including those wandering newsboys on the street, Su Ze's first thought was naturally Mr. Fang.

The welfare institutions of the Ming Dynasty included, in addition to the Huimin Pharmacy, the Nursing Home.

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

However, since the mid-Ming Dynasty, almshouses have become increasingly declining, and this system has ceased to exist in name only in many places.

The reason is also very simple. The fiscal revenue of local governments is increasingly stretched. As government revenue decreases, the first thing to be cut is the expenditure of welfare institutions such as Huimin Pharmacy and Yangjiyuan.

There should also be a nursing home in Nanping County, but those houses have collapsed. Only when the superiors inspect, they will grab some lonely old people and children from the street to make a living, and wait until the inspecting superiors leave before driving these people away.

come out.

Since this "Mr. Fang" likes doing welfare so much, then encourage her to set up a charity home.

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

Su Ze made up his mind and took a few children who were disabled by leprosy to go to Huimin Pharmacy after dawn.

As soon as Huimin Pharmacy opened, Su Ze came in with his children. Huang Tiju took a breath when he saw the miserable condition of these children.

Su Ze said: "These are children wandering on the street who met people who were harvesting and cutting raw materials."

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

"It's so inhumane! Three of the children are permanently disabled. The other two can still be reconnected."

After Huang Tiju saw the patient, he said to Su Ze in a serious tone.

"Master Su, where are those harvesters and cutters?"

"They have all been sent to the county government. Their lives will not be easy until they die."

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

For example, locking them to the side of the bucket, or tying the shackles very tightly, their hands and feet will be disabled in just a few days.

These harvesting and killing of people are unpardonable capital crimes, and the main culprits like Leida are even more serious crimes. Chen Shufei must "entertain" them well and make them suffer before going on the road.

Upon hearing that the culprit had been arrested, Huang Tiju raised his hands and said, "Master Su is so kind."

Su Ze said: "In addition to asking Huang Tiju for medical treatment, I have one more thing to ask Huang Tiju for."

"Huang will definitely help!"

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

"Master Fang?"

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

Almshouse? Huang Tiju understood what Su Ze meant, and he immediately said: "I will send someone to invite Mr. Fang to come over."

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

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

"Master Fang, the reason why these children are targeted by harvesters is because they have no stable residence. According to the ancestral system of Emperor Hongwu, there should be a nursing home in the county 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 county government has not allocated funds for repairs."

"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 almshouse and give the orphans in the city a place to live."

Fang Ruolan had already struggled with the issue of the Sanatorium when the prefect was still serving as 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 Yamen allocates funds, it will not be able to sustain it for long.

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

Fang Ruolan looked at Su Ze, who said: "The editorial department of "The Surprise" has already hired some newsboys to sell newspapers. Their income from selling newspapers can support the daily expenses of the almshouse. We just need to ask Mr. Fang to hire some manpower.

Just watch them cooking for the children."

Su Ze has not been in the county for a long time. You must know that if no one is keeping an eye on an organization like the Almshouse, someone will definitely take advantage of it.

Without restrictions and supervision, humans 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 the children."

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

Huang Tiju also said: "We at Huimin Pharmacy are also willing to contribute. From now on, we will make an extra pot of sour plum soup every day and let these children sell it for free. The money from the sales will be given to the almshouse."

Su Ze and Fang Ruolan both looked at Huang Tiju in surprise, and Huang Tiju said: "In this way, I will go to the nursing home to treat the children one day a month."

Fang Ruolan respectfully saluted Huang Ti and said, "The doctor is kind-hearted. Thank you so much Huang Tiju!"

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

There is no moral superiority or inferiority between modern people and ancient people. If helping others can gain respect from others, many people will be willing to help others within their own capabilities.

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

Huang Tiju has received help from Su Ze and Fang Ruolan, and he is also willing to try his best to help others. This is not because he has very high morals, but just a simple moral concept that those who help others will always help others.

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

"Don't worry, Mr. Su. Although I am not good at medical skills, there is still no problem in saving the lives of these children."

Su Ze said goodbye to Huang Tiju, then said goodbye to Fang Ruolan, and returned to the county school to attend classes.

After Hai Rui finished his lecture, he called Su Ze and asked about it. Su Ze explained the process to Hai Rui in detail. Hai Rui frowned and said:

"I didn't expect there to be such heartless people in Nanping County! Thanks to Rulin for bringing them to justice!"

"The teacher is too praised. In addition, I have contacted some friends and want to ask the county to reopen the almshouse and take in the orphans in the city."

Hai Rui stroked his beard and said: "The Huimin Pharmacy, the Yangtze Hospital, and the Leoze Garden are the virtuous policies of this dynasty. However, over the years, the government has gradually ignored them, causing these institutions to become increasingly decadent and abandoned. I should also take responsibility for these things.

The prefecture and county government have written to the government, please reopen the almshouse!"

Su Ze had an idea and said: "Teacher, what we call raising and educating them is that these children have no parents. Even if there is an almshouse, they can only have food and a place to stay. If there is no one to discipline them, they will probably go astray in the future."

road."

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

Even when these street children grow up, they have very few jobs.

Either you become an Arhat like Xiong Wu, or you join a club like Bawang Society, or even worse, you might end up on the wrong path like Leg Da.

After all, there are only a few who emerge from the silt without being stained. The environment in which most people grow up determines their lifelong destiny. 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 be in charge of the almshouse."

Hai Rui thought for a while and realized that the promotion of the nursing home was the same as the promotion of Huimin Pharmacy. They were neither officials nor officials, and they were not paid.

Such positions are either held by county officials or held by local gentry and celebrities.

Su Ze was obviously not at ease with these people. Having Hai Rui in charge of the almshouse could also prevent anyone from reaching into the almshouse.

Hai Rui is the county magistrate and an official of the imperial court. With him in charge of the nursing home, those who work below will definitely not dare to take advantage of it, let alone abuse children.

Hai Rui quickly agreed.

Su Ze added: "Teacher, I also want to invite some colleagues to give lectures to these children. Without asking them to take the imperial examination, they can read and understand, be literate and do math, and have a way to make 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."

"Thank you very much, teacher!"

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

While talking to Hai Rui just now, Su Ze had another idea.

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

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

Moreover, as a textbook for Mongolian studies, the ultimate purpose of the "Three Character Classic" is to serve the imperial examination in Mongolia.

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

What he wanted was not to cultivate stale scholars who were loyal to the emperor, but to cultivate the next generation with new ideas.

The children in the almshouse are themselves street children in the city. They themselves are at the bottom of society, and they do not have strong feudal loyalty to the emperor.

They have lived on the streets since childhood and understand the importance of struggle better.

At this time, more advanced enlightenment textbooks are needed!

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

As soon as he thought of this, Su Ze immediately came to the editorial department and was surprised. Not only did he need to write textbooks, he also needed someone to help teach.

After all, Su Ze can't come to the city every day to teach these children. The only scholars he knows right now are Chen Qingchao and Lin Qingcai.
