Chapter 433 Nursery
"Do you have any good ideas?" Xie Mubai's eyes moved slightly.
Shen Wan smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling: “We can build an orphanage to take in those homeless orphans.”
"All necessary expenses will be funded by the county government, and we will send them food and clothing regularly."
“Of course, wealthy people in the city can also donate money and materials.”
"Once the donation reaches a certain amount, Brother Seven can award them a plaque in the name of the county government."
A plaque wouldn't matter, but Wang Qi wasn't sure if the rich people in the city would donate.
Ever since Chen Jiu's death, all the rich people have been in a panic, fearing that they would be the next.
In fact, they thought too much.
Shen Wan only killed Chen Jiu and dealt with the bosses who had raised prices with him. She did not ask about the other rich people.
"Will they agree?" Wang Qi frowned slightly.
Shen Wan smiled sweetly: "Seventh Brother, you are so anxious, I haven't finished speaking yet."
"One plaque is certainly not enough. You can give them some more benefits."
"For example, tax reductions or exemptions, or policy support."
"As long as the benefits are greater, people will naturally agree."
After hearing this, Wang Qi's slightly frown immediately relaxed.
"Originally, I was worried that Wan'er couldn't beat you, but now it seems that you are all the same!" He curled his lips and looked up at Xie Mubai.
Xie Mubai smiled.
He had long known that his little woman had always been very smart.
He didn't understand why the old tutor and Wang Qi both thought that she would be bullied by him, and they never considered that it might be him who was kneeling on the washboard!
"In fact, it's not just the orphanage. I think Lanyang also needs a nursing home." Shen Wan became more and more excited as she spoke, and expressed all her thoughts. "We have to take care of the orphans, and we can't just stand by and watch those elderly people who have no one to rely on."
"There's a saying that goes, 'So people should not only love their own relatives, nor their own children. They should ensure that the elderly have a place to live, the strong have a place to work, the young have a place to grow, and the widowed, the orphaned, the lonely, the disabled, and the sick are all provided for.'"
"Since we're going to build a nursery, why not build a nursing home as well?"
After hearing this, Wang Qi subconsciously looked at her a few more times.
Everyone said that the concubine's daughter of the Marquis of Xiangyang was uneducated and could not even recognize a single word.
Although he didn't believe it, he was certain that the girl had not received much education.
Now it seems that I underestimated her.
"That's a good idea." Xie Mubai nodded with satisfaction, his eyes smiling. "But the elderly and children all need someone to take care of them, so the issue of manpower still needs to be considered."
Although there are many idle people in Lanyang City, there are not many reliable people.
It's fine in other places, but an orphanage or a nursing home won't work without a reliable person.
Shen Wan smiled cunningly: "Why should I consider this? Isn't it ready-made?"
off the shelf?
Xie Mubai and Wang Qi looked at each other.
The two of them thought of many things, but they couldn't figure out where to find ready-made manpower.
Seeing their bewildered expressions, Shen Wan reminded them, “Those women in the camp.”
She never forgot those women.
They had been through so much together along the way, how could she bear to let them wash clothes in the snow every day.
It's just that the time has not come yet, so Shen Wan has not made any move.
Now that the time is right, she can let go and transfer them out.
Upon hearing this, Xie Mubai and Wang Qi woke up from their dream.
Yes, how could they forget those women.
Although taking care of the elderly and children is hard work, it is much easier than washing clothes in the camp.
"That's great." Xie Mubai couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. "There are plenty of empty houses in the city anyway, so we can just give them two."
Now Wang Qi has the final say in Lanyang City, so finding two empty houses is extremely easy.
So he waved his hand and immediately designated two adjacent mansions.
Although the house is a bit old, it can be used after a little cleaning.
As for the person in charge, the three of them discussed it briefly and decided on Li and Xie Murong.
Mrs. Li is kind-hearted and very patient, so it is perfect for her to be the one running the orphanage.
And since that little saint Xie Murong is willing to reform, she should be given a chance. It's not impossible to let her run the nursing home for the time being.
As soon as the news spread, the people in the city were in an uproar.
Chu Wei had been operating in Lanyang for many years and had never done a single good thing for the people.
The sudden decision to build an orphanage and a nursing home must be because of the little princess!
While everyone was happy about the good news, Boss Gao, who was in charge of the barracks, flatly refused the request to transfer the female prisoners.
Even though Wang Qi spoke sweetly, Boss Gao still disagreed.
Boss Gao is a soldier from Lanyang City. He has more than 300 soldiers under his command and is a complete ruffian.
Once he makes up his mind, even ten oxen cannot pull him back.
When the talented scholar Wang Qi met him, it was like a scholar meeting a soldier - he couldn't explain himself clearly!
In desperation, Shen Wan and Xie Mubai had no choice but to take action.
Boss Gao didn't take Shen Wan, a princess in name only, seriously at all.
However, he was quite interested in Xie Mubai and looked at him carefully for a long time.
"So you're the son of the Duke of Zhenguo!" Boss Gao squinted his eyes and said carelessly, "What a pity, you don't have any of your father's grace and elegance."
"Do you know my father?" Xie Mubai's heart tightened slightly, and he asked calmly.
Xie Lian is now in Lanyang City. If they meet on the road one day, it might not be a good thing.
"I don't know him, but he's a household name." Boss Gao sneered, not disguising the mockery in his eyes. "I never thought his son would be so awful, looking so frail."
"Even if the Yumen Pass incident hadn't happened, your Xie family would have fallen sooner or later."
"There's nothing we can do. Each generation is worse than the previous one!"
After hearing this, Xie Mubai and Shen Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
That’s right, this Boss Gao holds a very low official position, and with his status he is not qualified to meet the powerful Duke Zhenguo.
"I'm useless." Xie Mubai smiled coldly and patted the stone pillar beside him. "The decline of the Zhenguogong Mansion is inevitable, but it seems to have nothing to do with what we want to discuss, right?"
Now the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is in a state of chaos, and everyone is turning against it. Not to mention Boss Gao, even the most unruly beggar on the street can be cursed.
Xie Mubai is not a good-tempered person, but he will definitely not vent his anger over such things.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
One day, he will make those who took advantage of his misfortune pay the price!
After hearing this, Shen Wan also echoed: "General Gao, building a nursery and a nursing home is a good thing that benefits the people. Why don't you support it?"
Boss Gao smiled contemptuously and shook his head.
"What you're building has nothing to do with me. I just know these female prisoners must stay here." He stood there with a proud look on his face, and said arrogantly, "The soldiers have worked very hard defending Lanyang. It's only natural that a few prisoners should be here to serve them."
"Besides, it was Chu Wei who personally sent them here."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wan laughed.
"Since it was sent by Lord Chu, why didn't you give it to him when he came to ask for it?" she asked with a sneer.
Boss Gao disagreed: "The person has already been sent here, how can we take him back so easily?"
"Just like the food you eat, can you spit it out and eat it again?"
His words were extremely rude and disgusting, and even Wang Qi, who was known for his sharp tongue, almost exploded with anger.
"Didn't you also send the woman in Chen Jiu's room away?" Shen Wan raised her eyebrows, and the smile on her face became brighter. "Why, can you still eat this after you vomit it out?"
