Chapter 509 Intentions (2) ([-])
Not long after, the abbot and Wei Ying came out of the room one after another, Shen Ji stood up and greeted each other with the abbot.

"I have heard all about Mrs. Wei's actions, and I admire them very much."

"Master has always been merciful, and this is just the beginning."

"I heard that you intend to build a school building so that children from poor families can have books?"

Shen Ji nodded, "If you can study well, you can reduce the number of people who do evil in the streets, and give these children a chance to change their fate." Shen Ji's plan is not just to build a school.She was planning to open a nursing home, but after thinking about it, many elderly people refused to leave home, even if they died, they would die in their own houses.A nursing home is not realistic, but it can be worked around.People can be hired to take care of the food and daily life of the helpless old people.

Didn't they say that they would use work for relief? This is also an employment opportunity.And people who teach, people who repair school buildings, even the school lunch group needs people.A sum of money can solve so many things, which is also a great merit.Shen Ji is quite complacent about this.

The abbot nodded, "Madam Wei is not only kind-hearted, but also very insightful. If you can persevere, the poor people here will be blessed with more blessings."

Shen Ji laughed secretly, why did the old monk give good words to their husband and wife.The common people are blessed, because there is a magistrate who is diligent and caring for the people.Having a kind-hearted and insightful magistrate's wife is another blessing among blessings.

Seeing the smile in her eyes, the abbot also smiled, "I have a difficult problem here, and I want to ask Madam for help."

Shen Ji raised his eyebrows, want to make a golden body of Buddha for me?She likes the choice of dishes here, so it's okay to give money to incense, but she doesn't plan to spend money on things like sculpting a golden body.It's better to do more practical things with that money.If this is the case, don't open your mouth!

Her meaning was clearly shown in her eyes, and Wei Ying was also a little puzzled, if this was the case, it would be fine to just tell him, why did she go around him and talk to Xiaoji.Could it be that his reputation outside is really so bad that he can't even be a family member?Although this old monk is an outsider, he is tactful and sophisticated, otherwise he would not be able to run a big temple, and the incense is getting more and more prosperous.

"Ma'am, it's like this. In the village at the foot of the mountain, there is a woman named Yunniang. Both her parents died and she has no brothers or sisters. She is a good woman with a kind heart. Unfortunately, her family is poor and she has no dowry. No one proposed marriage. The old monk went down the mountain for alms more than ten years ago, and passed out on the side of the road due to thirst. It was the young Yun Niang who fed the old monk. A few days ago, she went to the nunnery next to her to become a monk. The old monk accidentally learned that the old man was in such a situation Being poor, I dissuaded her for the time being and let her live in the nunnery. Hearing that Madam is anxious about public affairs and willing to help the weak, she rashly opened her mouth."

It turned out that she was asked to help this Yunniang with a dowry, which is no problem.Anyway, she did a lot of things like this in Hua'an.In this era, women are also vulnerable groups, and helping her does not violate Shen Ji's principles.However, she felt that the old monk was plotting against herself, so she said, "Master Abbot, there were quite a few dignitaries in your temple yesterday, no matter how hard you can find someone who took advantage of you. At worst, don't tell me you don't have enough money?" silver?"

Wei Ying coughed twice, implying that Shen Ji should be more polite.At any rate, the abbot is also a party figure, he often goes to and from the courts of the rich and powerful, and last time he got the Queen Mother's favor.

The abbot was not angry when he was insulted, he just smiled and said: "There were a lot of dignitaries yesterday, and if I open my mouth, I will definitely be able to get a dowry for Yunniang. However, there are many women like Yunniang , only my wife will help more people because of Yunniang. Even if my wife doesn't come, there will be fewer pilgrims on the mountain in a few days, and the old monk will also visit. As for the money in the old monk's hand, it is quite a lot. But those They are all incense donated to the temple by pilgrims, and I can only use the money for it.”

Shen Ji nodded, "Well, I can include women like Yunniang into the scope of help of the Compassion Society. Since the master is a caring person, let's talk about future cooperation." The old monk also said just now, he There is a lot of money on hand, all of which are incense money, which needs special funds for special use.It would be great to turn this place into a charity collection place for the Charity Society.It would be good if everyone in the society invested in it extensively.This is just the beginning, and more than 5000 taels have been spent in just a year. Shen Ji knows that it will cost a lot to do it in the long run. It is naturally a good thing to have one more channel for money.This old monk is very good at asking for alms from the rich, and from the fact that he still remembers the kindness of a drop of water more than ten years ago, it can be seen that he is not blindly flattering the rich and powerful, but still has the poor people in his heart.It's a good partner.

The abbot laughed, "Good!"

The two discussed it in a few words. Their respective identities are very conducive to this matter, and they are both caring people, so it is naturally easy to discuss.Wei Ying also felt good after hearing this. What Shen Ji did was a supplement to his administration, and it was also a preliminary attempt to replace relief with work, so he naturally supported it.

Come to the eighth day of the lunar new year, even if the year is over.These days, Wei Zhuo often goes to Ruanlou to help the theater troupe write or edit scripts, and help rehearse the show.There are new dramas to listen to every day, so the business of Luran Building is naturally booming.Although Wei Shan had no material rewards, he thought that he could easily bring out the twenty yamen servants, and he couldn't give up halfway, so he called people to continue practicing on Zhuangzi from the ninth day of the ninth day.The two of them listened to Wei Ying's words that day, and these days they also lived in seclusion, and they were cautious of those around them, not wanting to become a ladder to deal with their eldest brother.

On the ninth day of the lunar new year, Shen Ji invited the wives of the Compassion Society to come home to discuss the next step.What happened a few years ago gave everyone a good reputation and was affirmed by the people in power, so they became more and more motivated.Moreover, future donations can be made with money from various government offices, which makes them even more happy.

In fact, Shen Ji hadn’t actually taken the silver out yet. The 2000 taels of silver he donated that day was actually more than 3000 taels earned from plum blossoms.But this time it didn't work, she took out 5000 taels of silver from her private house, which was almost all the income of Luanlou and Baoyuezhai in the past six months.As soon as it was taken out, Shen Zhi's private house shrank severely.Mrs. Ruan Shao and Mrs. Wang are both 3000 taels, and others range from a few hundred taels to 2000 taels.It adds up to almost 2 taels of silver.This is the funding for the Mercy Society this year.

The next step is to implement the food, clothing, housing and transportation of those helpless elderly people. Find someone who will take care of those poor people in their homes, and the Compassion Society will pay for it.Then the school building could not be obtained in one day, so I first borrowed the Chenghuang Temple outside the city to set up tables and chairs and buy everything I needed.Several students from the county school palace volunteered to teach those children.Shen Ji also gave appropriate financial rewards.She is the president, but because of her bulky body, she asked Mrs. Liu Tongzhi to take care of all matters after she was done.Mrs. Liu Tongzhi's supervisory duties were replaced by another wife.Mrs. Ruan Shao is still in charge of bookkeeping, and the large amount of money is still stored in Shen's office.Everyone meets once a month in the Luran Building. If there is something to do, we can also hold a temporary meeting.
