Chapter 363 Reopening Ci’an Hall



When Chen Dongyue arrived at Master Sun's office, Master Sun was already waiting for her.

The two of them first expressed their feelings towards the frail Lord Magistrate.

Master Sun lamented that Magistrate Meng was a young and talented man, but he was weighed down by his body.

As a result, he, a colleague, now has to take care of everything.

It is truly a burden that has not been lifted at all~~~~

When saying this, Chen Dongyue could clearly feel the smile on the corner of Master Sun's mouth.

Chen Dongyue comforted Master Sun, saying that although Dr. Yao initially said that his medical skills were ordinary, in the past two years, she had rarely seen anyone die at the hands of Dr. Yao.

Although Magistrate Meng was in poor health, he was young. She said she believed Magistrate Meng would recover soon.

In this way, Mr. Sun can be relieved of the heavy burden on his shoulders as soon as possible.

Mr. Sun, who suddenly felt that this topic was a bit boring, took the lead and asked Chen Dongyue what he wanted to discuss today.

Chen Dongyue told her about wanting to reopen Ci'an Hall like this.

"Opening Ci'an Hall?" Mr. Sun was actually not very interested in something like this that would not bring any political achievements and would not bring much profit. "We, Liaozhou Prefecture, also experienced famine and banditry for three or four years. So the funds in this area are not very sufficient.”

In fact, there used to be a Ci'an Hall in Liaocheng.

This department is similar to a modern orphanage + public nursing home.

The recipients are basically orphaned children and the elderly.

Logically speaking, the Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate a small amount of money to the state capitals every year, and then each state capital will allocate it to each city and county.

But here's the thing.

The Great Rong Dynasty was poor.

According to Master Sun's recollection, he had been an official for thirty years, probably in the two years when he first became county magistrate, and received two resettlement funds from Ci'an Hall.

Then, there was no more.

Later, he served as the prefect in Liaocheng for more than ten years. When he took over the prefect's Yamen, there was indeed Ci'an Hall at that time.

But at that time, the expenses of Ci'antang were basically subsidized by the government government and the county government of Fuguo County.

However, this funding is also very limited. It can supplement one hundred and eighty taels a year, which is considered to be the highest level.

Therefore, the orphaned children and elderly people living in Ci'an Hall basically have free accommodation and only one meal of gruel every day.

These people basically either live on a bowl of gruel or find ways to go out and find food on their own. In short, everything still has to be done by themselves.

After that, severe droughts, floods, and banditry occurred one after another in Liaozhou, and more and more people needed to be rescued.

Until the past two years, Ci'an Tang could not help so many people, so the government simply closed Ci'an Tang.

Hearing Master Sun say this, Chen Dongyue really wanted to slap this old man twice.

What do you mean, there are too many people, and we can’t provide relief, so we can only close Ci’an Tang? !

For officials like them, a casual meal in a restaurant costs twenty or thirty taels. Let alone a year, they have to go there seven or eight times a month!

When you paid for it, why didn't you say that the government office had no money?

On the contrary, it is the turn of Ci'an Tang, which only spends one hundred and eighty taels a year, but it says it has no money?

Is this true? !

But Chen Dongyue is also an official now, so she can't beat Shangguan in public in the government office.

So she could only grit her teeth and beg Mr. Sun to reopen Ci'an Hall.

Chen Dongyue's argument is that although Ci'an Tang is not an important department, it is still a political achievement!

Now that Mr. Meng is so weak, he might not be able to bear it any longer and return to his hometown?

If there is a new prefect at that time, although the political achievements of reopening Ci'an Hall are not that great, it is still a good thing that benefits the people!

Mr. Sun chewed his teeth and said, "Although what you said is right, our government office is not very well off now..."

"Don't worry, sir," Chen Dongyue patted her chest and assured: "The government will pay one hundred taels for the cost of reopening Ci'an Hall first, and I will find a way to raise it later."

“One hundred taels is not too much~~~” Mr. Sun nodded, “Then it’s settled.

Ci'an Hall can be reopened, but the government's financial expenditure is also very difficult, so we must first allocate one hundred taels of silver.

But for the future, if you can think of a way, try your best to think of a way.

If you really can't think of a way and close it again when the time comes, you can't blame me. "

Chen Dongyue responded repeatedly.

Although there was a smile on my face, I kept scolding my mother for selling batches in my heart.

At this time, Mr. Sun still had a question, "It stands to reason that your family is living a good life, so why do you suddenly think of getting involved in Ci'antang's affairs?"

"Hehehehe," Chen Dongyue laughed a few times and said, "The main reason is that my mother-in-law is a warm-hearted person. She said she saw some old beggars about her age on the street, and she was really pitiful.

The old man said that helping the elderly and the weak is considered a meritorious deed.

Song Ke's life and death in the Beilin Army were uncertain. The old lady wanted to accumulate some merit for her son, so she asked me to ask about Ci'antang. "

In fact, Chen Dongyue came up with the Ci'antang thing in a hurry for the sake of Jinyifang's brand image.

But now, how could she tell the truth?

Song Haopo:? ? ? ? ? ? What nonsense are you talking about? Old lady, would I be willing to donate money for my son? ? ? ? ? ?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, you might as well kill me.

"I see," Mr. Sun could accept Chen Dongyue's statement, "the old lady is indeed kind-hearted.

Well, you ask your old lady, if she is willing, she can go to Ci'an Hall to be a disciplining mother.

Of course, if the old lady feels too tired, it doesn't matter if she doesn't go. I'll just ask someone to find a disciplining mother.

By the way, since it was you who suggested this matter, you should also serve as the chief officer of Ci'an Hall from now on. "

"Ah, no, the official's errands are indeed too many..."

Before Chen Dongyue finished speaking, Master Sun said again, "Eh? If you think there are too many things, don't you have someone named Shen Wanfu under you?

His brother-in-law had asked me before if I could find another job for him, saying that he was a little older and was a little out of his depth in the inspection department.

This Ci'an Hall is quite suitable for him to take care of in his old age, otherwise let Shen Wanfu go there..."

"Although Xiaguan has many things to do, they can still be overcome!!" Chen Dongyue immediately puffed up her chest, "Just leave the errands of Ci'an Hall to Xiaguan.

But if the lower official is really too busy, can he ask someone from the Inspection Department to help? "

Chen Dongyue didn't like Shen Wanfu's character at all.

If he were to be the chief official of Ci'an Hall, wouldn't all the government funding and the charity money she raised have to go into Shen's pocket?

No matter how exhausted she was, she wouldn't let someone like Shen Wanfu take advantage of her.

"You are the chief officer, you have the final say." Mr. Sun smiled at Chen Dongyue.

That works!

The two finally reached a consensus on the matter of Ci'an Hall.

When leaving the house, Chen Dongyue still wanted to wait for Dr. Yao to leave with her.

She was going to go to the academy soon to ask Da Dunzi for the paintings and calligraphy works that were going to be exhibited in a few days.

After waiting for only a cup of tea, Doctor Yao hurriedly came out of the gate.

Chen Dongyue was just about to wave to him, but she heard someone shout: "Master!! Master, please don't run away!!"

Master?

Chen Dongyue, who originally thought Doctor Yao was a little weird, hurriedly hid next to the stone lion at the entrance of the government office.

At this time, Dr. Yao had already run to the stone lion, but was grabbed by the person chasing after him.

Doctor Yao was so angry that he stamped his feet, "What a shameful thing it is to pull and pull! Let go!"

"Then don't run away, I'll let go." The chasing doctor said.

There was a hint of grievance in this voice.

"Don't run, don't run," Dr. Yao said impatiently: "What on earth do you want from me!!"

"Master, I have been looking for you all these years since you left Taiyuan Hospital. Where have you been?"

Imperial physician? !

This old drunkard is actually an imperial physician? !

Didn't we agree that it was an old military doctor?

Why did he become a doctor again?

I heard Dr. Yao reply: "You don't care where I am! But I just want to ask you, how did you become the doctor of the Meng family? What? The hospital can't accommodate you anymore?!"

"Oh, that's not true," the doctor replied, "The main reason is that the Meng family gave me too much, so I left the hospital.

By the way, Master, didn’t you say that you would never have any contact with the capital again?

Why did you come here to treat Meng Xiang’s nephew again?

According to your knowledge, you don’t know the identity of Magistrate Meng, right? "

"Do you understand the kindness of doctors?" Doctor Yao scolded.

He would not admit that the reason why he came to see Magistrate Meng was because he gave him too much!
