In the outer room of Hou Men, she took advantage of her beauty to commit murder

"The Salesian Church has been around for many years, and I don't know the exact origin!"

"The children in it are all children who lost their parents due to some accidents or disasters, and they are basically all under the age of 12!"

"...The people who take care of the children usually choose widows or people with disabilities. They contribute, and the Salesian Church will be responsible for providing them with shelter, food and drink, but there is no money."

"Money for children's basic food, drink and house repairs is usually allocated regularly by the local government. As for more delicate items such as clothes, shoes, socks, candles, etc., they can only figure it out on their own!"

"...But there are usually some rich or kind-hearted people in every place. When they do good deeds, they will give some away. As long as they save a little, they should be able to survive for a while. Otherwise, they can only find their own way!" Damn it! This is how other people's lives turn out to be kind-hearted, and they can only get by by picking things up here and there.

"...Generally, formal Salesian churches will have teachers who teach some common Chinese characters and basic counting. Since there is no money to be made, the teachers are basically poor scholars who cannot pass the examination and are just making a living. ." Speaking of this, Lu Mei bowed her knees slightly, "Girl, this slave knows so much!"

Luo Siyun nodded thoughtfully and asked again, "It sounds like it is very standardized and well managed. Although the source of money is not many, it is guaranteed that the children in the Salesian Hall will have enough to eat." Dress warmly?”

"How is it possible? Ordinary people may not have enough food and clothing, so how can the Salesian Church!"

If this is the case, many people will probably try to throw their children into the Salesian Church.

After all, everyone has worked hard all their lives, but the result is not as good as an orphan with nothing.

Thinking of this, Lu Mei secretly shook her head and continued, "It's hard inside. Although the house the children live in is large, there are more than a dozen or even dozens of children packed into one room!"

"...The kang where I sleep only has straw mats or straw, and the bedding is those that have been used for countless years, are black and hard, and they don't keep me warm at all!"

"...We can't even guarantee the most basic set of clothes for one person, let alone those jackets and cotton-padded clothes that need to be kept warm in winter!" So in winter, without warm clothes, they could only huddle in the house and hug each other. Keep each other warm.

Because they don’t have enough charcoal fire. Even if they have it, they can only use it when they really can’t withstand it.
"I heard that every winter, many children die from the cold in the Salesian Hall. Especially in those years when there is a lot of snow, the situation is even more serious!" Having said this, Lu Mei looked around and then lay down. Luo Siyun whispered in his ear.

"My servant also heard that in order to protect those who are in better health, some Salesian churches will ignore the weak children... without giving them food and drink, or warm clothes and bedding. These children starve to death every year. There are quite a few!”

"What?" Luo Siyun widened his eyes and glanced at Lu Mei in shock.

When Lu Mei nodded, she blinked and asked in a low voice, "Does the government not care?"

"How to manage it? There are so many poor people in the world, and the court has so many things to take care of. How can it care about them? It's great to be able to allocate money regularly to provide them with repairs to their houses and places to eat and drink!" As he said that, he took a sip of Lumei. He pursed his lips and continued, "As for this method, it is actually a kind of survival after losing an arm. The government actually understands it a little. As long as it doesn't go too far, they don't interfere too much!" After all, children can survive only by relying on those things. people help.

"You are right. Being able to survive with a broken arm means that they have reached a desperate situation and there is no other way!" Luo Siyun sighed.

Speaking of which, the name of the Salesian Church sounds nice, but in fact it is just a small home for a group of old, young, sick and disabled people. There are not many people in it who have the ability to survive independently, and even if there are, there are certainly not many.

If you want to survive, you can only rely on subsidies from the court and gifts from the rich and kind-hearted people, but these can only maintain basic survival at best.

If a big accident occurs, the whole army will probably be wiped out.

"'Winter makes life difficult for the poor, but it has to be experienced!" Luo Siyun looked at the pots of charcoal fires in the corner of the house and sighed.

There is a small pot of charcoal fire, but how many people struggle all their lives to find it!Speaking of which, the economy is still too backward.

Following Luo Siyun's gaze, Lu Mei also looked at the pots of charcoal fire. She thought of something and frowned, "Speaking of which, this winter has been extremely difficult!"

As she said that, she glanced at the sky outside and said with some worry, "I heard that it snowed heavily in Saibei for three days in a row. In some places, the snow was as high as the chest, and many roads were blocked...many houses were crushed. Damn, many of the livestock have died from the cold. When the slaves heard this, they felt it was too difficult!"

Houses are the roots of the people, and livestock are the lives of the people. If the house collapses, the livestock will probably not be spared. If so, by the time next spring comes, there will probably be a lot of refugees.

When refugees gather, there will definitely be a lot of fighting and theft. These are considered minor, but I am afraid that there will be an epidemic...

Thinking of this, Lu Mei suddenly shuddered and shook her head vigorously, trying to throw away these terrible possibilities.

"Is there a snow disaster in Saibei?" Luo Siyun was curious.

Lu Mei nodded, "...I heard that it was an urgent letter from eight hundred miles away. When we entered the city, many people saw it, and it was widely spread outside!"

"Tomorrow is the court meeting, and it should be decided to arrange people to provide disaster relief. I don't know who they will call!" Lu Mei muttered in a low voice.

"Eight hundred miles urgent, it seems the situation is really serious!" Luo Siyun held his chin and put his hands on the table, clasping them lightly.

"I remember, Saibei is the place where General Zhenguo is responsible for guarding, right?" Luo Siyun suddenly asked.

She remembered that Li Xingyi mentioned that his eldest brother named Li Xingkang was the general of Zhenguo and his uncle's eldest son.

The general Zhenguo holds hundreds of thousands of troops and guards the north of the Great Wall all year round. However, Li Xingkang and his mother have always stayed in the capital, which seems to be a way to ensure their loyalty.

She seems to have heard that Saibei is a very desolate place, but the people are strong and strong. If it were not for Jingguo's first line of defense, its significance and role are very important, and it is estimated that no one would be willing to go there...

Lu Mei nodded, "Yes!"

Luo Siyun nodded and did not continue talking. Instead, he asked, "I remember that Zhuangzi had a lot of harvest this year. Has the grain been moved?"

"No!" Lu Mei shook her head.

The snow fell early this year and was heavy. The snowy roads were slippery, so the food never had time to be processed. Now it is still piled in the warehouse.

Luo Siyun nodded, "Just leave it alone and tell those people not to move. I will be of great use next year!"

Although that little food is not much, it can still do a lot of things. I hope it can increase her merit!
Lu Mei nodded, without asking her the reason, and responded, "Okay, I'll give you the order when you get back!"
