The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 235: Good deeds start with meat
Yun Yan Hui brought Lin Yi Zhe back before he even came out of the gate.
Seeing that, Bao Zheng thought he had something to explain, so he assumed a posture of listening.
In the end, Yun Yan replied, "Master Xiang, I just had a chat with Director Lin, and found that our Salesian Bureau is living relatively hard. What meat and vegetables do you have here, can you donate some to us? "
Bao Zheng: "..."
What is "you here"? You seem to have borrowed it for less than half an hour!
Bao Zheng took a deep breath, so Yun Yanhui was talking to him on behalf of the Salesian Bureau?
Lin Yi stood aside, shivering a little, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head. Bao Xianggong's face is so dark, and he is not angry and arrogant, he can't tell what his mood is!
When it comes to donating things, Bao Zheng is really willing to donate, but Yun Yanhui's gesture of returning to help other families to raise money is too subtle, Bao Zheng has to obey, well, it is Yun Yanhui as expected.
Lin Yi saw Bao Zheng pondering for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Okay, I'll write you a note, you can go to Cang Cao to get it."
Bao Zheng brushed a few strokes, and sure enough, the handwriting proved that he returned the supplies to Yunyan.
Yunyan walked out of the study in a dashing manner, and saw that Lin Yi was still a little trembling, so he comforted: "Director, you are so scared now, what will you do when you go to the censor's desk later?"
This consolation made Lin Yi's legs feel weak. Ordinary officials, can you like Taiwan officials? It's all crows!
"Yushitai... Let's not go there, shall we? The Taiwan officials are poor and have nothing to donate..."
"Why not, donate some pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books to us!" Yun Yan replied confidently, "Director, I understand that the Salesian Bureau doesn't seem to teach children to read or send them to school. right?"
Lin Yi thought about it, really, the Censor Desk also has something to donate, "Yes, yes, the bureau is too busy raising children, so I really don't have the time to teach, and I love learning and follow the people in the bureau. It's just a piece of cake."
After all, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the system of various welfare institutions will be complete, and it is still somewhat incomplete.
So Yunyan went back to Cangcao to get things, and here she met Ermao, who was guarding the place, and went up to touch it.
The officials of Cang Cao greeted Yun Yan Hui, asked someone to count him, and promised to help him send him directly to the Salesian Bureau. If people from the Salesian Bureau came, they would not have this treatment, but Yun Yanhui was different, he was his own.
The management of Cang Cao also told Yun Yanhui that the mousetrap officer in the mansion recently was a family with women and a hundred families. As they get a few years old, the female cats also start to hook up with the male cats outside, giving birth to many kittens.
Before the big haired child was in someone else's house, it was a big show of prestige. Therefore, now that there are kittens again, many people come to ask, especially readers. Printing was developed in this dynasty, and there were many books in the house, which would inevitably be damaged by rats, which required a capable raccoon slave.
The cats in Kaifeng Mansion not only have fine traditions, but also have good meanings. If they come from Kaifeng Mansion, can they catch thieves? No, there are so many people asking for it.
Yun Yan replied solemnly, "Then it must be properly closed... By the way, I will also apply for one for the Salesian Bureau." He will go to the Censor's Desk to raise funds, and he needs cats too.
After completing the formalities, Yun Yanhui and Lin Yi went to the Censor's Desk.
Censor Zhongcheng was quite puzzled when he heard that Yun Yanhui came with the chief of the Salesian Bureau, and came out to see it in person.
After hearing Yun Yan's reply that he was going to be seconded to the Salesian Bureau, he was speechless. After thinking about it in his heart, he understood and reluctantly said, "Not bad, not bad."
"Haha, yes, so I came here to greet the director..." Yun Yan smiled back with a very malicious smile.
Censor Zhongcheng suddenly felt bad, "How are you doing?"
Yunyan came back and explained his intentions clearly, "...That's it, I hope the Censor Desk can carry forward the kindness and donate some of the four treasures of the study, as well as some texts of poems and books. First, I would like to thank you for the children of the Salesian Bureau."
Censor Zhongcheng: "..."
He's really stupid. He thought that Yun Yanhui and Lin Yi were uneasy about rejecting the Censor Desk, so he went to the door to explain himself, but he didn't expect...
What a high-sounding Yunyan's reply, if they don't even donate anything, wouldn't they be very ruthless and uncaring? They are all readers, can you afford to lose this person?
As soon as he gritted his teeth, Censor Zhongcheng said, "Donate!"
Everyone was very happy, so Yunyan returned happily and took the note from Censor Zhongcheng, and also discussed with the people from Censor Desk: "Can you send it directly to our Salesian Bureau?"
"Can't!"
Yunyan was not sad when she returned, "Oh, it's fine, then I'll go back and ask my brother from Kaifeng House to help me get it."
Where to go next, Yun Yan looked back, "Hanlin Academy."
Lin Yi scratched his head, "Are you also going to ask for a book?"
"We already have the book, and the main reason for going to the Hanlin Academy is to have important people." Yun Yan replied.
Lin Yi: "Huh?"
Yunyan replied: "We have all the books, so we don't have to order some professors?"
Lin Yi: "..."
Yun Yanhui is very ashamed, he is not shameless, he uses a bull's knife to kill chickens, really... Hanlin Academy is familiar and free! Many of their Kaifeng School teachers are part-timers, otherwise he would definitely give priority to his own people.
In addition, Yun Yanhui is not asking people to stay permanently, but I hope they can send people to give lectures in turn. The current goal is to enlighten the children.
The relationship between Yun Yanhui and the Hanlin Academy is good. Hu Hanlin is very big here. When he found Hu Hanlin and said, Hu Hanlin's character, he naturally thought it was a good thing, and immediately agreed.
……
After such a trip, Yun Yanhui also asked Renzong for an increase of 50 acres of official land, and in the end, even Jiaofang did not let go, and talked about regular theatrical performances - Jiaofang is quite happy, for Be able to make friends with Yun Yanhui.
Lin Yi feels a little unreal, this is... too easy, right?
Since the Salesian Bureau has been open for so long, has no one thought about fundraising? Of course there is! However, the efficiency is definitely not as high as Yun Yanhui. If it is not very good, the people who are willing to donate things to them are far less than the people who donate things to temples and Taoist temples.
However, Lin Yi saw that Yun Yanhui always got things done in just a few words, as if he had passed along with people in advance, and he would doubt his life.
The Kaifeng Mansion, the Censor Terrace, the Imperial Academy...even the official family, shouldn't it be difficult?
Lin Yi was stunned and had only one thought. No wonder everyone wanted to borrow Yunyan back, because...it's really useful!
Yunyan borrowed a sum and wrote it down on the paper. After seeing that it was almost the same today, she said, "Director, let's go to the last place."
Lin Yi was already numb, and now even if Yun Yan said that he wanted to take him to the station to ask the Liao people to raise money, he would not be surprised at all.
Yunyan smiled back and took Lin Yi to Taozhiyao's candy shop.
Lin Yi was confused and excited: "This is?"
Yunyan replied, "I can't just move my mouth, it caused so much blood." He pointed to Tao Zhiyao, "I also donated a batch of sugar personally."
Lin Yi didn't know what to say, "Isn't this costing you money? Taozhiyao's candy is too expensive! If you want to buy it, you can buy something else, chasing the wind, this candy is not necessary. of..."
"Why isn't it necessary, how happy is it to eat candy, can you buy it?" Yun Yan replied, "Also, this shop is run by my sister, so it's not that expensive for me to buy it here."
Lin Yi was in a daze and was persuaded. After Yunyan went back in and bought a bunch of candy, and after paying the money after the shopkeeper desperately refused, he remembered that even if he bought it here at the cost price, It's also more expensive than buying anything else.
However, Yun Yanhui originally came with the idea of spending money, so Lin Yi definitely couldn't stop him. The two borrowed an ox cart from the shop and went back with a few bags of sugar.
……
The adopted children in the Salesian Bureau come and go. There are now more than 400 children, and more than half of them are under the age of ten.
Lin Yi took Yun Yan back and went in with Candy in his arms, and he saw a lot of people inside.
The officials are busy with today's steady flow of supplies from all over the world. They still haven't figured out which silver shop the official has robbed... No, it's useless to rob the silver shop where these things were sent, it should be said that they have lost some **** ?
There are so many things, both for eating and use, covering almost all aspects, everyone is excited and happy.
On the other side, dozens of children are pouting their buttocks and watching the dozing kitten in a bamboo basket. From time to time, they stretch out a small hand and touch the kitten.
The kitten slept soundly and didn't move, except for the occasional whimper. It was sent from Kaifeng Mansion, and its mother was the famous Kaifeng Mansion Ermao.
The kitten is still padded with a clean cloth, and the body is also clean. The coat color is yellow and white, and light markings can be seen in the yellow. The nose and paw pads are fleshy pink. Very cute.
Under it, there's even a cute mouse-shaped doll.
A child said enviously, "It must be a high-ranking official among cats, and there is such a toy..." Her own most cherished toy is a kitten carved out of wood by herself, but many people say, Not like a cat at all.
"It's so beautiful..." Another child carefully touched the kitten's head and saw it move its head and rub against the puppet in his arms.
Facing the kitten, which actually has its own toy, the children showed a look of admiration and envy.
A woman wiped her sweat and shouted at the other side: "Don't touch the kitten! Don't crowd together, the kitten will be suffocated to death!"
The children timidly backed away, but they were reluctant to walk away, and they gathered around again after a while.
Yun Yan looked back and saw that these children were in good spirits. After all, they were at the feet of the emperor. Lin Yi also seemed to be a very responsible and moral official. They could not live too badly.
At this time, Lin Yi also shouted: "Don't look at the kitten, who wants to eat candy?"
Candy?
Those children exploded the pot almost instantly, temporarily leaving the beautiful kittens behind and gathered around here.
Naturally, sugar is more attractive to them than kittens. Just thinking about it, I felt more fluid in my mouth.
"I want to eat, I want to eat!"
"I want candy!"
They all saw what Lin Yi and Yun Yan had in their hands, and their saliva was drooling. However, the majesty of Lin Yi did not dare to do so.
The kitten opened her eyes, raised her head and glanced at this side, then retracted her head again, just whispered: "Meow."
Lin Yi took the opportunity to introduce Yun Yanhui to them, "These candies are all given to you by this gentleman Yun Lang, what should you do?"
Children, you push me, I push you, and finally sing back and salute Yun Yan together.
Yun Yan gave them candy with a smile.
In the Salesian Bureau, it is very good to be able to eat and wear warm clothes. There is definitely no such thing as sugar. It happens occasionally, and it is also given during the festivals.
But now, this brother is digging out one by one, some are more clever, and have begun to call out his companions who are not outside...
Other officials thought they were caring people, until Lin Yi said that this was Yun Yanhui, who was transferred from Kaifeng Mansion. Suddenly realized, this is Yun Yanhui!
What follows is the second question: So how did the officials deceive people?
This place is more than Qingshui Yamen...
Let's put it this way, many people would rather send their children to the temple to be children's walks! In that temple, there are pilgrims donating money, and they have their own business, but the Salesian Bureau has no income.
You can't eat meat in a temple, it's as if you can eat meat here. Poor, so many children, so many mouths, many are still growing, and they can eat a lot. They all rely on a fixed amount of money allocated by the imperial court.
That's true, and they're luckier than many.
Some families, after giving birth to "excess" children, don't even bother to take two steps to send them to other places, and just bury them.
In such a place, it is not easy to make any political achievements. For someone like Lin Yi who is more responsible, he is dizzy just by the affairs of the management bureau.
How could this local snake from the Daxiangguo Temple, the ruthless character of Kaifeng House, think of coming here? And help get so many things?
People who don't know Yun Yanhui very well have all kinds of conjectures.
But soon, they understand...
Yunyan replied: "Ashamed, ashamed, everyone will work together in the future. I brought some meat and vegetables from Kaifeng Mansion. Let's have a meat meal together tonight!" Although it is a donation to the orphans, but, We can't let these officials and nurses just watch and not eat.
The scene paused for a while, and then raised a warm applause.
——Everyone: Because this is a good man!
