Chapter 1508 Teaching and Educating People

Zhulan touched the children's foreheads, the doctor didn't find anything, the children all ate the same food, if they were poisoned, it shouldn't be 20 children, they were all from the same pot, if something happened, it would happen together.

The doctor checked carefully and confirmed that the children will be fine after drinking the medicine and resting for a night.

The women who cook are anxious. They are all from nearby villages. They are all short of food. When they come to Zhuangzi to cook, although they can’t bring food out, they can eat 70% full. There is still food left in the family, and they can earn a fortune to go back. I don’t know how many people in the village envy them.

Several women came in, one of them was in charge of the kitchen, and said cautiously: "The food is cooked according to the seven-percent full, and the same is done every day. We didn't put anything wrong."

They are all about forty years old, and after a lifetime, the wild vegetables in the dishes can't be mistaken, and they really don't know why something happened.

Zhulan signaled Steward Wang to take people down. The kitchen didn't misplace anything, and it wouldn't be poisoning. If it was poisoning, it should be poisoned together. She said to Qingxue, "Go and check."

Qingxue nodded and went out, and came back after a while, and replied: "The two groups bought some herbs, exchanged a dozen copper coins with the doctor, and secretly went to the village to buy some potatoes to eat outside, you see Look here's a found potato."

Zhulan knew the reason. In ancient times, potatoes were washed and eaten together with the skin, and they were not willing to throw them away. They also ate sprouted potatoes. , then cooked through.

The children probably didn't cook the potatoes properly, and they were reluctant to throw away too many of them, so they got poisoned.

Steward Wang said, "Zhuangzi's food is pretty good. There are rumors in the palace about being thrifty, and he has never skimped on it. Why do these children secretly burn potatoes to eat?"

"Half-aged children eat poor old men. You see, the children in these two groups are all eleven or twelve-year-old boys. There is no oil in their stomachs, and they can't resist hunger if they eat too much."

Her private orphanage is incomparable to the royal one. The royal orphanage can still eat meat once a month, and she can only rely on herself.

At the beginning, she donated a lot of money, but she set aside part of it to buy Zhuangzi. If the capital can be self-sufficient this year, other states will also accept orphans one after another.

Everything has to be budgeted.

The millet and jujube Zhulan brought from home made porridge. There were too many children, and each child was given a bowl of very thin porridge, and the remaining millet was left for twenty children to support.

During dinner, Mingrui came. This kid came on horseback, Zhulan asked, "Why are you here?"

Mingrui, "I'm worried about grandma, and I'll come over after school to pack up."

"You child, I will go back tomorrow, the children are fine."

Mingrui,

"The grandson doesn't worry about you either. Mingjia and the others are coming too. I didn't let you, grandma. I brought some food over."

Zhulan pointed to the table, "I've already finished eating, you came in a hurry and haven't eaten yet, you can keep it for yourself."

The meal she ate with the children in the orphanage consisted of a bowl of gruel, a potato pancake, and a plate of wild vegetables.

When Mingrui came in, he saw the plates on the table, "Then I will eat the same as grandma."

"No, there's nothing in the pot in the kitchen, you can eat the snacks you brought."

Mingrui brought a lot of food, and a piece of meat, and asked Grandma Qingxue what she had for dinner. Knowing that grandma would not eat alone, she signaled the servant to send the meat to the kitchen, and put it in the porridge tomorrow morning, so it would be good for the children Add some meatiness.

Zhou Shuren's mansion, Zhou Shuren came back to see the letter and listened to the news that it was sent back. It was not premeditated. He was worried about his wife's ability to eat and sleep well. I am gratified that Mingrui is thoughtful.

Zhulan didn't eat well or sleep well like Zhou Shuren thought. She ate dinner and went to see the children before dark. The girls are well-behaved and the boys are not naughty. They say that the orphans see everything Mature, ancient orphans know how to cherish the chance to live.

Zhulan might also be tired, she slept well all night, when she got up in the morning, she heard that the courtyard was quite lively, and saw Mingrui directing a few boys to carry rabbits.

Zhulan, "Did you call in the morning?"

"Well, my boy and I are both good at martial arts. We went to try our luck in the morning, and we met."

"You, look at your clothes are all wet, go and change."

"Um."

Breakfast is also porridge, with meat brought by Mingrui added in it, the children eat it very carefully, every time they swallow a mouthful of satisfaction, the second brother and the children can also cook and eat, and what they drink is also porridge, and a piece of meat is borrowed By taste, it is not too oily, and children can eat it.

After breakfast, the children wash their dishes and get ready for class.

Today was also a coincidence, Rong Enqing came to class early in the morning, Zhulan was not in a hurry to go back, she sat with her grandson and listened.

Outside, there are peasant men standing by the window to help with the work, and it is too difficult for the common people to learn how to read.

The blackboard for the children’s lectures was made by Zhulan after she gave her ideas. It is a very large board with large writing that can be seen clearly.

Rong Enqing not only taught to read and write, but also told stories, which Zhulan listened to with great interest.

Zhulan tilted her head, "Marquis Rong spoke well."

As a result, she saw her grandson's eyes sparkling, which she had never seen in Mingrui.

Mingrui returned to God and said, "Grandma, teaching and educating people is great."

Zhulan, "Yes."

She knew that her grandson had gone out of Beijing with the prince to give lectures to the children, did she like it?

In the household department, Zhou Shuren stared at the banknotes on the table to apply for money. They all want money. The big heads are Liang Wang and Rong Chuan. Construction needs money, but the country has gold and can’t get it. The price has risen because of the lack of food, and the value of silver has depreciated. The people have no way out.

But where did he go to change the money? Several states in the south that were hit by floods last year confiscated their taxes, and they all depended on the money allocated by the Ministry of Households to live. The destroyed dams needed to be repaired.

Zhou Shuren waited for all the doctors to arrive, and said: "You all know this morning, King Qin needs the Ministry of Households to send people to the grassland, who of you wants to go?"

No one took the initiative to say anything, and they were unwilling to suffer. Some doctors didn't look up when they came in.

Zhang Jinghong wanted to go, thought for a while and took a gamble: "I am willing."

Seeing the relief of the others, Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes in his heart, and said to Zhang Jinghong, "I've made a note, you all go out."

Zhang Jinghong was the last one to leave, and turned back after going out for a while, "My lord, I really want to go, please help me to say something more."

He only has one son in his life, and he has to plan more for his son. If this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult for him to have another opportunity in the future.
