After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 744: Solutions to Lost Children
Xu Mengxiao was also confused by the question, because she really didn't expect that such a related problem would arise.

"What is the mentality of those who want to take advantage and let the government help raise children, knowing that the government cannot provide money, and I am willing to save those children, so they let me raise the children!?"

"The mentality of taking advantage, Master, you said it." Ru Yan said timidly.

Xu Mengxiao, "..."

"They thought I was taken advantage of!" Xu Mengxiao was almost angry.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, miss, be careful about the child in your belly." Taoxing hurriedly comforted her.

Xu Mengxiao didn't feel angry either, because she was too aware of people's bad nature, "Do you think I can't deal with them? Haha!"

"But by the way, this Magistrate Duan still blames me. Didn't he publicize this matter widely? I originally wanted to keep a low profile. After all, I also have something to ask for. It's hard to talk about this kind of thing. Then someone might say I want to take advantage of those kids."

Xu Mengxiao didn't want the reputation she had accumulated so hard to become a bad reputation, even if that was what she thought.

But how to operate is also one thing. Since ancient times, once you do something good, it is easy to be criticized. Even if the person who criticizes has never paid a penny or done anything practical, it does not prevent them from liking moral kidnapping and nitpicking.

It was obvious that she was doing good deeds, but she still got scolded, not infrequently. Magistrate Duan spread the word about her, and the reviews must have been mixed.

"The main responsibility for the development of this matter lies with him. I know that he wants to attract more people who do good things, but he must bear some consequences and do what I say." Xu Mengxiao finished. I asked my subordinates to pass on the message.

Magistrate Duan thought of Shen Yuan asking him to take care of the Xu family, then thought of Mu Yuanzheng, and then thought that Xu Mengxiao was indeed a rare talent.

Then he took a deep breath and suppressed his slight anger, "Go and ask her what she plans to do?"

"It's very simple. The capacity of the Salesian Bureau is limited. It immediately spread the word, saying that the room and manpower are full, and no more children will be adopted in the future, especially the children during this period, because they are all being adopted. If your relatives deliberately abandon it, if you accept it, it will only cause more misfortune to the children!"

"Another one is to send officers to patrol near the Salesian Bureau, especially at night. Once someone is caught littering with children, they will be immediately put in jail. This way, their children will not be able to take the imperial examination in the future!"

"Then we will issue a law that strictly prohibits both father and mother from abandoning their children. The highest crime will be directly punishable by execution!"

"Hey, what about the minimum punishment?" Magistrate Duan asked quickly, also very curious, because he had thought about it too.

But because the law is not his business alone, and it is easy for him to get into trouble because of it, he doesn't really want to cause trouble for himself.

Xu Mengxiao forced him to do this——

"There is no minimum penalty, just let them see the consequences of littering children. It is best to catch a typical person and use a person who has committed the most heinous crimes to scare them!"

Xu Mengxiao's methods may not be unscrupulous, but they are also very useful.

On the same day, Magistrate Duan immediately asked people to write something and post it in conspicuous places at the city gates and streets.

Otherwise, if we move a little slower, one more child may lose a parent.

However, those who have the heart to leave their children to others will not do much good to their children.

At the same time, Magistrate Duan also promulgated the penalty up to death for littering children, and made various officials responsible for publicity with gongs and drums. Immediately afterwards, the Salesian Bureau was also asked to make corresponding preparations. In just one day, the city was full of wind and rain, and there was a nervous atmosphere everywhere.

When I heard that the highest crime was to be executed, I was immediately frightened and hurriedly took back the child I was about to throw away.

There are even those who secretly go back to retrieve the child, and there are also those who are timid and fearful of being caught on the spot and dragged to beheaded directly, and dare not bring the child back again. However, they live with the shadow of being taken away and beheaded at any time every day. and fear.

Especially the next day, Magistrate Duan beheaded a man who threw a child in public. Now everyone knew, "Is this serious?"

The moment the man's head hit the ground, the woman who originally said she would send several children to Xu Mengxiao to train them to take the imperial examination rolled her eyes and fainted with fright!
Even though she hadn't had time to lose the child, she was still so frightened that she begged the child's father to move quickly every day.

"Our home is too close to the Salesian Bureau. What if the children accidentally run in while playing and arrest us and behead us?"

"I don't want to live in this damn place anymore. I haven't slept for several nights. Every time I close my eyes, I see that man's head rolling to the ground!"

"What are you yelling about! We haven't had time to do anything yet. As long as we don't say anything, who knows what we originally wanted to do?"

But the next day, when several children were playing outside, the incident was accidentally revealed.

Xu Mengxiao's latest move is to reward those who catch and report those who litter their children.

When the neighbor of this family heard this, he rolled his eyes and hurriedly went to report to the police to have the person taken away, regardless of whether the child was missing.

In the end, the couple had a great meal in the cell, saying that they would never dare to do it again. They even signed and pledged that they would never lose their child again. Only then were they released, but their lives were frightened. Half a strip.

"Uh-huh, I really don't dare to do it anymore. I don't even dare to think about it!"

Such a series of actions took only half a month, let alone normal parents who would not lose their children.

Even those who really can't support them don't dare to abandon their children.

By a strange combination of circumstances, among all the places under the jurisdiction of Luo City, the number of abandoned children was the lowest in Daxing, close to zero, which attracted a lot of good talk.

Much later, Magistrate Duan was rewarded for this, but that's a story later.

All in all, after all the farce, Luo City finally returned to calm. Even the previous discussions didn't dare to stop, for fear that they would be arrested if they mentioned this topic.

Xu Mengxiao's family's previous comments were indeed mixed, but so what, this matter was a big deal because of the punishment of losing the child, and it did not take off, even if some of them knew Xu Mengxiao's purpose. , and I don’t dare to talk nonsense everywhere.

Xu Mengxiao made a mistake and avoided a crisis of public opinion and a trial of conscience.

The children in the Salesian Bureau are the ones who have felt the most obvious effect recently. At the beginning, when they saw many children being thrown over, they immediately felt the crisis——

The food, clothing, housing and sleeping quarters are likely to be separated from each other, and Xu Mengxiao's cultivation of them may require more people, and they will have more competitors.

This made them feel that Xu Mengxiao did not have no choice but to accept her support. There were not too many people who wanted to be supported by her, and she could even give back more than them!
These children didn't know what was going on outside. Thinking of this, their scalps went numb and they cherished Xu Mengxiao's investment in them even more.

Unconsciously, Xu Mengxiao didn't know that the children in the Salesian Bureau had become more peaceful and grateful because of the incident, which was another big benefit!
