Chapter 95 Chaoyang Salesian Home

After Yu Zimo showed Chao Chao the photos, he began to eat breakfast with relish.

Chao Chao was still thinking, "It would be great if Shangliu Village also had this kind of sweet potato, so that Sister Lin Lan and the others wouldn't go hungry."

Lin Lan, who was at Caozhou Wharf at the moment, couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes when she heard this. Chao Chao was always like this. Whenever her life got a little better, she would think of them.

Even though I'm still so young, I still have a lot to worry about.

Father Lin patted her shoulder and said, "Let's go and get on the boat first."

They had been traveling by land for several days, and today they finally planned to board a ship and travel by water.

It is said that it will take about ten days to reach the capital, but since we are traveling by official ship, the journey is actually very fast.

The boat was quite big. It was the first time Lin Lan had seen such a boat. She had seen small ferries before, which could only travel on small rivers and lakes.

The boat in front of them had two floors, and they lived on the second floor. When they opened the window and looked out, they could see the scenery in the distance.

Although it couldn't be compared with the plane Chao Chao took, it was enough to open their eyes.

The three members of the Hu family and Jiang Laosan's frame lived in the bottom of the cabin. Not to mention anything else, the vision was also very dim.

Moreover, they cannot move around freely and have no free time. When I passed by them just now, my expression was full of indignation.

Lin Lan pretended not to see anything. They had tried to find opportunities to talk to her along the way, but Lin Lan deliberately avoided them. They also didn't dare to make any big noise, for fear of attracting the attention of the guards and getting beaten again.

But because of this, they became more and more resentful of Lin Lan and others for not helping them. They felt that as fellow villagers of Shangliu Village, they did not have any deep hatred against each other, so why couldn't they help them? Couldn't they just say a few nice words?
However, Grandma Zhou was right in saying that they could have such good treatment, eat well, live well, and go to the capital to see the emperor, all because of Chaochao.

So, why should we use the benefits given by Chaochao to help those who once bullied and abused Chaochao?
There is no such reason.

So no matter how Jiang Laosan of the Hu family and the others cursed, Lin Lan and her group pretended not to hear them.

Now that they are on the boat, they are far away from each other. They may not even see each other in the coming days. They can have more peace and quiet.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw Mr. Guo knocking on the door and coming in.

"We're going to travel by water, so communication won't be very convenient. Before the ship leaves, would you like to write a letter back home to let your family know you're safe?"

Father Lin was naturally happy. When he and his daughter left Shangliu Village, what he was most worried about was his wife who was still in confinement after giving birth and his baby daughter who was still in her cradle.

He had often wondered these days if it wasn't a good idea to leave them alone on this long journey. But he couldn't bear to let his eldest daughter go out alone, so much so that he pulled out many strands of his hair.

"We would like to write back, but we can't read."

"It's okay. You tell me and I'll write it. I'll send it directly to the village chief's house and he'll find someone to help read it."

Father Lin nodded immediately and said, "Okay, then I'll trouble Mr. Guo to write a letter for us, saying that we have been doing well on the journey."

Aunt Yu and Dashan gathered around. Honestly, this was their first time traveling so far away, especially to the capital, so they were all thinking about home. Knowing they could write back to report their safety, they were all very enthusiastic and excited.

Just when Lin Lan and others asked Guo Xiucai to write a letter back, Shangliu Village was also busy. The village chief and others were discussing the matter of Chaoyang Charity Home.

Yesterday, Gao Hongfei received an urgent imperial edict from the emperor, asking him to choose the location of the orphanage.

Today he came to Shangliu Village to discuss with Liang Wei. Together with Yue Chai who came hurriedly, the three of them thought about it for a while and decided to build it in Shangliu Village.

At this moment, Gao Hongfei was still walking around the village. With Yue Chai's introduction, he had a rough idea of ​​the village's layout and finally chose a foundation close to the village entrance.

The Salesian Home is built here, making access easy.

Because of Chao Chao, Shangliu Village had become the most famous village in Huaiping County. Countless people had come to the village after hearing the news, but most of them were stopped at the village entrance by the police.

However, the fact that the address for the construction of the orphanage was determined could not be hidden from those who were wandering at the village entrance, and no one knew who started it.

"Master Gao, building a charity home is a good thing, a philanthropic undertaking. We can donate some money. My family has a little extra money, so I'd like to donate 100 taels first. Please accept it."

When the others heard this, they immediately started shouting and waving their hands, "Sir, I want to donate too, I want to donate too."

There were many ordinary people and nearby villagers at the entrance of the village. When they heard these wealthy people scrambling to donate, they all showed envious and excited expressions.

Gao Hongfei and Liang Wei exchanged a glance, their hearts fluttering for a moment, but they shook their heads and said, "The Emperor has already made a final decision on this matter. The emergence of the Sky Curtain has revealed many advanced and beneficial things to us, and Daqi has also benefited greatly. All the profits will be used for the Salesian Home."

When the others heard this, they immediately understood that this was indeed the benefit brought by Chao Chao.

Someone was quick-witted. "Sir, we have also benefited greatly from the Sky Curtain. Thanks to it, we have a way to deal with smallpox. It also gave us clues to how to produce 10,000 kilograms of grain per mu. Just now, the court even showed us what sweet potatoes look like growing in the fields. I believe that with the court's capabilities, they will soon find high-yield crops, and then we will also benefit. In that case, it is only right that we donate some money to do some charity."

"Yes, sir, we also want to help."

Gao Hongfei looked thoughtful, but he actually thought this was a good idea.

Your Majesty has decided to establish Chaoyang Charity Homes throughout the country. Just the establishment will cost a huge sum of money, not to mention the long-term maintenance. No amount of money will be enough.

It would be fine for ordinary people, but if these rich people earn more because of Tianmu, then they should donate a part of it.

He thought so, but it was not something he could decide.

Seeing that many people present had already taken out banknotes, Gao Hongfei could only say, "I already know what you all mean. I will report this matter to His Majesty. Whether donations are needed will be decided by the court. I will inform everyone of the results later. You may wish to wait a little longer. If there is any need, I will let you know."

"Okay, then let's wait for good news from the adults."

Gao Hongfei then turned around and whispered with Liang Wei. Yue Chai, who was standing by, seemed to be hesitant to speak and opened his mouth several times but closed it again.

Liang Wei was such a perceptive person that he immediately glanced over and said, "Village Chief Yue, if you have anything to say, just say it."
