Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1610 Welfare Home

In this world, even if some people don't like doing good deeds, there is no one who doesn't like good reputation.

People like Cheng Yaojin are also human beings, so they naturally like good fame.

If they just donate some old clothes and get some good reputation, they naturally don't mind taking some out.

After all, in Chang'an City, many people who want to have a good reputation spend a lot of money to build roads. Compared with the money for road construction, they donate some clothes, food and grass, which is really nothing.

After listening to Qin Tian's words, Cheng Yaojin and the others took a look at Qin Tian, ​​and immediately laughed.

"You kid, it's not bad, you don't need to say something like this, we will definitely lend a helping hand."

"They are all officials of the imperial court. How can they not take action when they see that the people are in trouble? After I return to the mansion, I will ask people to collect some old clothes and send them to you."

"Food, I will also donate some."

"........."

A group of people expressed their support. Seeing them like this, Qin Tian quickly smiled and said, "You are indeed very upright. If so, I would like to thank you on behalf of the common people."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

"It should be, it should be."

"........."

After the few people finished talking, Qin Tian didn't stay long, and hurried to the mansion in a carriage. Cheng Yaojin and others also waited and hurried back to prepare the things Qin Tian needed.

In fact, for a big family like them, old clothes are also very useful. After all, there are so many servants. With so many servants, you can make them wear new clothes every day, and some of them wear the rest. The reward was given to the servants.

Therefore, donating these clothes must have increased their cost, but now that Qin Tian asks for it, they want to earn some reputation, that is, these clothes can still be used, and they also want to donate them.

After Qin Tian returned to the mansion, he told the nine princesses about the situation. After speaking, Qin Tian said: "Madam, this matter was brought up by your husband, and it will be reported to the Chang'an city soon. Wealthy businessmen and dignitaries are raising donations. If I want to raise donations, I, the leader, must not just donate everything, so we have to make preparations for clothes, food, etc., ladies..."

Qin Tian felt a little embarrassed about taking money from his family. After all, he seldom took care of the family business, and his wives helped to take care of it. To be honest, the money was his wife's hard-earned money.

Anyone would be embarrassed to ask them to take out the money.

However, after Qin Tian said this, the nine princesses, Lu Huaniang, and Tang Rong didn't have the slightest intention of objecting.

"Is Xianggong a person who does great things? He pretends to be the common people in his heart. Since we want to collect donations, we should give more."

"That's right, that's right. If you need anything, just say it. There's still plenty of food in the house."

"........."

The three women all agreed with Qin Tian's actions, which moved Qin Tian a little, and he couldn't help but feel that his husband couldn't ask for more.

"Thank you three ladies."

"It's polite for Xianggong to say this. Now that our Qin family is going to have a new child, it's good to do some good deeds."

"That's right, there must be Yuqing in the family of Jishan..."
-
The heavy snow is still falling. I don't know when it will fall. Many houses in Chang'an City have been crushed by the heavy snow.

Many people were looking for places to hide. Those with relatives could hide in their relatives' homes. Those without relatives could only find a place in Chang'an City.

But this place is really hard to find sometimes.

Moreover, even if you find one that can block the wind, it may not be able to avoid the cold ice and snow?

Therefore, the life of these common people is very difficult. They can even see the people who escaped with them from the snow and snow directly freeze to death at night.

And they just watched one friend after another die.

And just when they were complaining, a group of yamen servants approached them.

It was a very confusing thing to be found by the yamen servants. They looked at each other and didn't know what happened for a while.

"Several...several lords, what do you want us to do?"

A yamen servant looked at them and said: "There is an order from the imperial court that all homeless people who have no houses, clothes and food can register and enter the newly opened orphanage by the imperial court. , The imperial court will provide you with accommodation, clothing and meals, and all those who agree with the conditions can tell us about the situation."

The yamen servant told these people about the situation. After listening to these people, they still couldn't believe it. Although the imperial court had rescued some people before, they prepared clothes and food for them because they were afraid that they would freeze to death. How do you hear that? They all feel a little weird.

However, they were only stunned for a moment, and then ran over to register without asking if it was true.

There is no way, if they are allowed to live like this, they will freeze to death or starve to death sooner or later, so, no matter whether this is true or not, it is a hope for them, since it is hope , then they are definitely going to try it.

If it is false, it is nothing more than the way of death is different. If it is true, they really survived.

These common people began to register. Here, the court has a set of screening criteria. It does not mean that anyone can enter the orphanage. Only those who are lonely and have no way to survive will be allowed to enter the orphanage.

If an old man has a son at home, as long as he has food, he is not allowed to enter.

As for age, there are also certain restrictions. People who reach the age of 50 are not allowed to enter the orphanage, even if you are really poor, because people at this stage are fully capable of finding a job. Work to meet their own living needs. If they are really starving to death, the court will only be responsible for giving them some food, or letting them live temporarily for a period of time. If they do not find a livelihood after a period of time, they will be kicked out of the orphanage .

Welfare homes are for those who are unable to give birth, not for lazy people.

Otherwise, those who are obviously capable of surviving, but go to the orphanage to eat and drink in order to save money, I am afraid that there will be as many as an animal's hair. At that time, no matter how rich Datang is, he will be eaten up.

Therefore, although many people came to register, there were not as many people who were actually eligible to enter the orphanage as imagined.

Of course, those whose houses were crushed this winter are an exception, and they can temporarily enter the orphanage to avoid disasters.

After the imperial court made such an arrangement, the entire Chang'an City became noisy.
