(Ask for collection recommendations!)
The queen is the mother of the world. In the feudal era, she was like the mother of the country. It is perfect for the queen Zhou Zhiruo to manage the orphanage.

Under Zhou Zhiruo's guidance, Lu Chengqi stepped into the orphanage he promoted for the first time in his life.The orphanage is located in the north of Chang'an City, which is mostly a poor area.But being a poor person in Chang'an City is much better than being a small landlord outside Chang'an City.With the economic prosperity of Jingzhao Mansion, the land price in Chang'an City is rising day by day.Even the previously worthless land in the north of the city is now worth every inch of land.

Zhou Zhiruo spent a lot of money to buy this house and get the title deed.In other places, even if you have money, it is difficult to buy such a large place.This courtyard covering an area of ​​more than ten mu actually cost Huangzhuang five thousand coins!Lu Chengqi had the foresight to buy this in advance.Using the algorithm of later generations, this is at least 700 yuan per square meter.Don't think it's nothing, you know, one mu of the best fertile land in Dashun is only nine pennies!An ordinary field is only two or three pennies per mu.It is conceivable that the land price of Chang'an City has already increased by several times.

The prosperity of the economy has created the prosperity of the city; the prosperity of the city will definitely increase the land price.Therefore, the people who owned land in Chang'an City became rich and wealthy landlords in one fell swoop.This is an inevitable trend of economic development, and even Lu Chengqi cannot interfere.

After entering the orphanage, a group of children with obviously sallow skin rushed forward, chatting non-stop around Zhou Zhiruo.Thinking that Zhou Zhiruo came here often, that's why she was so loved by these children.

On the other hand, Lu Chengqi looked a little embarrassed at the side, he was used to being surrounded by people since he was reborn, and all of them rushed to pay attention to another person, and Lu Chengqi stood aside, he was really not used to it.

Fortunately, this person is his wife, so Lu Chengqi feels better.Also, these children are the most sensitive people, and whoever treats them well will treat them well.Their worldview is immature, but they can best reflect the warmth and warmth of human feelings.

Lu Chengqi felt a little emotional for a while, these children were usually abandoned by their parents, or their parents died early, this was an unhideable scar in their young hearts.Although they are not very old, they have precociousness that does not match their age. They are very defensive against outsiders. If you want them to let go of their defenses, you must discard the so-called sympathetic gaze and look at normal people. See them through the eyes of a child.The reason why Zhou Zhiruo is so loved by them must be because she treats them sincerely, so they let go of their guard and accept this beautiful girl who looks like the sister next door.

Zhou Zhiruo had a kind smile on her face, as if she saw her younger siblings, or her own children.After Zhou Zhiruo managed to find a gap, she said angrily to Lu Chengqi: "You, why don't you come over and help me!"

Lu Chengqi had no experience in raising children, so he smirked and moved lightly, but these children were quite frightened.Most of these children are five or six years old, there are boys and girls, and they seem to be born with a deep guard against strangers.Seeing Lu Chengqi stepping forward, they all took a few steps back vigilantly and involuntarily, hiding behind Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "You, are you here to scare people? If you don't put away your pretentious face, what should you do if you frighten these children?"

This is really not to blame Lu Chengqi, since he put on this dragon gun, he has gradually developed an aura of calmness and prestige, maybe this is the so-called domineering aura!Even now wearing a purple robe and ordinary clothes, she inadvertently reveals extraordinary majesty.How can these traumatized children survive?
Lu Chengqi scratched his head in distress, Zhou Zhiruo turned around and said to the children, "Don't be afraid, this is my sister's husband-in-law, and he proposed to adopt you out of kindness."

An older boy, who seemed to be eight or nine years old, saw some clues from Lu Chengqi's clear eyes, and said timidly: "My sister is a good person, and my brother should be a good person too!"

I have to say that sometimes children's logical thinking is so simple.As soon as the boy's words came out, Lu Chengqi immediately became popular.

At this time, Lu Chengqi also took out the method of the big brother next door, making the children amused by all the grimaces, and kept calling for brother.Among them was a little girl, about four years old, who timidly handed out a candied fruit and said in a childlike voice, "Brother, do you want to eat it? This is delicious!"

Lu Chengqi looked at the disheveled face on her face. He didn't know how much he had been wronged since he was born. He felt sore, and said softly: "Brother don't want it, you can eat it. If you like it, brother will buy it for you!"

He heard Zhou Zhiruo say that in this era, due to famine, human traffickers, etc., many children were exiled in foreign lands.Or become beggars, or sell themselves into slavery, girls mostly enter the land of fireworks, and come out to pick up guests when they grow up.Hearing these tragic experiences, Lu Chengqi almost stayed up all night.It also let him know that the seemingly prosperous Dashun Dynasty did not have the peace and prosperity he imagined, and there were still many poor people, and these people were the root of the chaos.If these poor people were not treated well, one day they would rebel and overthrow the Dashun Dynasty, and Lu Chengqi would not be able to be the emperor.

The only way is to ease the contradictions as much as possible, improve the lives of the poor people as much as possible, and at least help them solve the problem of food and clothing.In fact, the Chinese people are the kindest people. As long as they can survive, they don't care how hard it is, as long as they can fill their stomachs.But the rulers at the highest level often don't understand this truth.They were extravagant and extravagant, while the poor people at the bottom were poorly clothed and hungry, so they had no choice but to rise up and rebel.

Lu Chengqi was also helpless in this situation.The landlord class is too strong, and the business class he cultivated is still too weak to resist.The only thing that can be done is to use the money earned from Huangzhuang as much as possible to set up more orphanages to minimize some human tragedies.

Lu Chengqi summoned Wang Yanchen and told him to go out and buy some candied fruit, fruits and the like.Wang Yanchen was also from a poor family, he sympathized with these children very much, turned around and left without saying much.It's just that who he sent to buy it is unknown.

At this moment, an old man with a gray beard walked into the orphanage tremblingly. It turned out that the teacher had arrived.This teacher was obsessed with scientific research all his life, and exhausted his youth, but he also gained the fame of a scholar.Juren in the Dashun Dynasty were different from the Ming Dynasty. They had no salary, only the privilege of being exempted from military service.But all scholars are called scholars. This is the origin of the so-called scholar who meets soldiers, which is unreasonable.And passing the state examination (township examination) is a juren, and has the qualifications to enter the Beijing scientific examination, which can be regarded as a "born" on the right path.
