I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 123 Fire

 It’s a pity that although the taste was good, he didn’t eat much of it, and in the end it was all given to the children in the orphanage.

A group of children from the orphanage have been sent away. Most of them are half-grown children who came from Songyang. The remaining children are basically local children. Most of them have physical disabilities, blindness, slumped feet, intellectual disabilities, etc. .

 The rest of the normal ones are mostly girls, still crying in their infancy.

Lin Yi can’t bear to give up any of them. How much food can he eat?

What's more, you can also teach them martial arts. When they get a little older, they can be sent out to farm if they become strong. There won't be much problem in farming.

Even if you are not clear-headed, you will not starve to death if you find a job as a substitute in the future.

 As for those with disabled hands and legs, the focus is on literacy. Lin Yi rarely attends school, but is willing to spend a lot of time in the orphanage, teaching them arithmetic and accounting.

 Even often play games with them.

The only difficult thing is a blind child who is already eleven years old. Lin Yi is going to send him to a Taoist temple on Baiyun Mountain to have his fortune told by touching his bones. He is considered a professional counterpart, right?

In order to lay a foundation for his children as early as possible, he "invited" all the old Taoist priests from Baiyun Mountain.

The old Taoist priest must be aggrieved. Didn't he just blackmail you for a piece of silver?

Why is it necessary to retaliate like this?

Where do you dare to say the word "no"?

Teaching children doesn't count, you have to take them as apprentices!

These children are the most innocent and innocent. Lin Yi treats them sincerely and they always surround Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was very pleased.

Shan Qi, Xie Zan and others were all amazed. Only when he was in the orphanage could this prince behave like a normal person.

 “Your Majesty, this is called Huangpiguo,”

Mrs. Sang brought over a plate of fruit, bowed and said, "It can help eliminate greasiness."

 Mrs. Sang was originally just an old woman who was dim-sighted, walked with a stooped waist, and could not read a single Chinese character.

 But since I learned Hui Yuan Gong Hua Jin on the playground, I sat up in shock even though I was dying of illness, and chatted and laughed happily for another year.

Since I came to the orphanage and became the so-called "director", I have gradually gained a little momentum.

Lin Yi waved his hand and said, "It's so sour, I won't eat it."

　　When it was getting dark, as soon as I walked out of the orphanage gate, I saw a bright red fire in the north.

Ma Gui said, "Your Majesty, the people below have just reported that the fireworks workshop run by those Yuezhou guys is on fire."

　　After Bao Kui became the head of the government office, he rarely returned to He Wangfu. The day before yesterday, Ma Gui was promoted to the deputy commander of Hewangfu.

Lin Yi asked, "Are there any casualties?"

Ma Gui said, "Only the master's arm was burned, nothing else was serious.

However, more than a dozen houses were burned to nothing, and the epidemic is still spreading. "

"It's good that no one was hurt. Those old houses have long been an eyesore to me, and it's hard to demolish them. Now that they're burned clean, we'll build new ones."

Lin Yi continued, "Tell Shanqi that all the damaged households will be renovated with money from the government office."

 After all, there are no insurance companies in this world. It all depends on the people themselves, and most of them will probably have to live on the streets.

Ma Gui bowed and said, "I understand."

“This Shanqi is really good, he makes me worry about everything.”

Lin Yi sighed, "Safety in production is very important. Originally, this fireworks workshop couldn't be opened in the city.

These fireworks masters do not need to be held accountable, and they did not do it on purpose.

 Let's move them to the south bank of the Xijiang River later. There are a lot of open spaces there. "

 Normally speaking, one must set an example and give some punishment.

 However, Sanhe is different.

Any master with some skills would like to hold it in his hand, let alone a fireworks master who is related to gunpowder!

Since joining this firework-making family, Bian Jing's addiction to mountain bombing has become even greater.

Lin Yi was afraid that a small punishment would give the family a heart attack and cause bad things.

Although there are many people fighting the fire, without professional equipment and professionals, the fire in Baiyun City continues to expand.

When Lin Yi woke up the next day, he looked into the city and saw a mile of ruins. Many of the old wooden shack houses had been burned to the ground.

 Fortunately, the government officials quickly provided disaster relief, and the people whose houses had been destroyed had food and drink, and they also received the government government's promise to rebuild their houses. They were not depressed at all, and were even a little happy.

 “Your Majesty.”

Shan Qi had not slept a wink all night and was now very haggard.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "Your body is the capital of your work. If you have anything to do, just leave it to the people below. Why bother coming here yourself?"

 “It’s just business as usual,”

Shanqi smiled and said, "Most of the victims have been settled. I don't know what else the prince has to say."

“This city has always been too narrow, making it difficult for people to walk around.”

Lin Yi said with a smile, "Since it has been burned, there is no need to rebuild here. Just bulldoze it, pave it with cement, and plant some flowers and plants to use it as a playground."

Shan Qi is good at everything.

Lin Yi continued, "Also, it's time to make a plan."

“But what does planning and repair mean?”

 For Shan Qi, this is another new term.

"That's more or less the same," Lin Yi said with a smile. "From now on, this residential area will be the residential area, and the living area will be the living area. The workshops must also be arranged in a separate area, and they should not be mixed together."

 “That’s what the prince said.”

“From now on, all the newly built blacksmith shops, brick kilns, porcelain kilns, fireworks workshops, as well as those who pickle salted fish, make headdresses, and spin cloth, try to go to the south bank of the Xijiang River.”

Lin Yi said eloquently, "As for the business district, we will continue to build roads around the Jinfu Restaurant. Naturally, the wider the roads, the better."

After finishing the explanation, he got on the donkey again and headed to the south bank of the Xijiang River.

Haunted halfway, I was so frightened by a noise that I almost fell off the donkey. Upon closer inspection, I saw a group of children playing with fireworks. They were so creative that they stuffed the fireworks into the bamboo joints and made a crackling sound.

 He did not scold or blame them, he just let them do whatever they wanted.

 There are too many restrictions in this era.

 He doesn’t want to be the one imposing restrictions anymore. This is not allowed, and that is not allowed either.

 Sanhe lacks many things. He is not afraid that they will do it, but he is afraid that they will not do it.

 His attitude towards new things has always been to allow them to grow wildly.

 As for what it will look like in the future, it all depends on God’s will. Anyway, it is better than a pool of stagnant water.

With the construction of the road to Fangniao Island, the Lian people and Li people who lived in the deep mountains and old forests in the south began to slowly go down the mountain and went to Baiyun City to sell mountain products and seafood, and buy oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.

 Many of them came to the school to look after their children. After all, Lin Yi brought their children to Baiyun City in an inhumane manner.

There is an endless stream of people going to and from the Xijiang Bridge. When there are many people, you have to wait in line, especially when there are large carriages, otherwise they will be blocked in the middle of the bridge and unable to move forward or backward.
