"Thank you for your thoughtfulness, brother. I've been here for a few days, just walking around."
Wang Yongji stopped the master's sullenness and thanked him without giving his name.
This statement, in the eyes of several escorts, is just a pedant who insists on his own identity and has no understanding of the accident.
I continued to listen to them gossiping for a while about how Gao Hanwen's family was doing, especially how the Xu family was both civil and military, and how Gao Fantai was struggling to cope in the back house.
After a while, as the storytelling started in the teahouse, the gossip disappeared.
Wang Yongji also left the tea shop with satisfaction.
Brother Shilin always likes to do things around himself. Even if I overheard his gossip, I would consider it a tie.
Wang Yongji and his master hired a carriage and went straight back to the prefect's Yamen.
On the way, Wang Yongji looked at the partner he hired when he came to Hangzhou, and said patiently, "Brother Haneda, you don't understand Master Gao. He definitely doesn't mind others gossiping about his family affairs. In addition, Mr. Gao’s knowledge and character are worthy of trust. It seems that the two of us must slowly transform into new learning, otherwise there will be more and more things we don’t understand under Mr. Gao.”
"Well, thank you proprietor for the tip. I'm currently busy studying new things."
As soon as the two arrived at the Yamen, Wang Yongji once again focused on the issue of the nursing home. superior.
This is also the first time for Wang Yongji. He never thought that he would encounter such a huge wave of abandoned babies.
It stands to reason that based on the experience of Jiande County, as women can enter textile workshops, the number of abandoned babies, especially female babies, has been greatly reduced.
But Hangzhou is an exception.
On the one hand, Hangzhou has almost no restrictions on absorbing refugees, which leads to more and more people who cannot afford to live and support themselves.
What’s even worse is that after the Nanyang shipping route was interrupted in the past two months, many workshops have stopped recruiting workers. We even laid off many part-time and even long-term workers.
This resulted in a wave of refugees who were expected to be able to raise children having to abandon their children. There are even some who are a few months old and are afraid of not having a job, so they simply abandon the child.
In the past month alone, a total of fifty abandoned babies have been collected on street corners in the old and new cities of Hangzhou. He was so young that he hadn't cut the umbilical cord yet, but he was already eloquent when he was four or five years old.
"There is no longer enough money at the almshouse. Allocating money for expansion at this time will be too much of a squeeze."
Master Haneda carefully reminded his boss, Wang Yongji. .
The expansion of the nursing home was originally a plan set at the beginning of the year. Now that we have raised enough money and food, we are preparing to expand, but we encountered this accident.
"Well, forget it, let's hold off and move all the money over. Keep the child healthy first. After all, he is a child of the Ming Dynasty, and he must not be cold and hungry in front of the street government."
After Wang Yongji finished speaking, he saw that Master Haneda was still hesitant to speak.
"Not enough?" Wang Yongji asked subconsciously.
"Well, mainly the sixty-year-olds adopted recentlyA baby is too expensive. The proprietor requested that no one die as much as possible. As a result, just eating milk and rice cereal has already consumed a hundred taels of silver. "
"You mean, eat all rice cereal"
"No, the student means to stop accepting new abandoned babies. "
Seeing that Wang Yongji was about to get angry, Mr. Haneda added.
"At least we can't let the people know that the Yamen is open to convenience. Otherwise they would abandon the baby with impunity. The yamen can refuse to accept it openly and continue to accept it secretly. In this way, those who have some conscience and love for their children will always have to support themselves to take care of their children. This way the Yamen won't be so embarrassed. The students knew that many of the yamen officials at the Sanatorium had good intentions and had already turned against them. He even had to go out to help at night to supplement the expenses. "
"No, the government must not break trust with the people. There are always new ways. Let’s think about it again. In addition, I will go to the backyard later and my family sent another eight hundred taels of silver some time ago. This is of no use. Just write an IOU and treat it as if I lent it to the Yamen.
