Chapter 43: Salesian Home: It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish



Qinian Palace.

The festive decorations from the wedding have been removed, returning to the usual simple and elegant style.

Chu Yuening was wearing a blue silk dress, and her black hair was only held up with a petal jade hairpin.

She leaned lazily on the sofa, holding the baby who had just finished drinking milk in her arms.

"Baby, are you full? Do you want to play with mom?"

As Chu Yuening spoke, she gently rubbed the baby's tender cheek with the tip of her nose, making him giggle.

"Baby, you're so cute. Mom loves you the most~"

After playing for a while, the little guy began to feel sleepy, his eyelids drooped, but he seemed to be forcing his eyes to stay open and refused to fall asleep.

Seeing this, Chu Yuening was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Things got out of control ever since she sang a lullaby to put her baby to sleep when he was fussing one time.

Now my baby listens to lullabies every time he goes to sleep.

Even if he was too sleepy to open his eyes, he would still hold her hand tightly and look at her pitifully with his big watery eyes.

Chu Yuening didn't know where a newborn baby like him got such great perseverance.

"The dark sky hangs low, and the bright stars follow."

"Insects fly, insects fly~Who are you missing..."

The quiet and gentle singing seemed to have magic, and soon the baby fell into a sweet dream contentedly.

Chu Yuening stopped singing and gently handed the sleeping baby to her aunt.

Then she turned around and found that Ying Zheng had sat down next to her without her knowing when, and she was so scared that she almost jumped up from the sofa.

"A Zheng, why didn't you say anything when you came? You scared me to death!"

"I saw you were coaxing Zhao'er, so I didn't disturb you."

Ying Zheng embraced the frightened woman and rubbed her back to help her calm down.

In fact, he just couldn't bear to break this warm scene.

The beautiful woman hummed a melodious song and gently coaxed the baby to sleep. This scene was deeply imprinted in his heart and he would never forget it.

"Humph, don't do this next time."

"Has the Salesian matter been settled?"

Chu Yuening pinched the man's waist and stopped pursuing the matter, instead bringing up another matter.

The Salesian Home was opened by her specifically for the elderly, women and children who had regained their civilian status.

Considering that abolishing the system of collective responsibility and freeing a large number of slaves might cause some social unrest.

So, Chu Yuening and Ying Zheng discussed the countermeasures carefully.

Adult men who are able to work are sent to pave cement roads, while the elderly, weak, women and children who have difficulty moving are temporarily arranged to live in orphanages.

"Well, I ordered Zhao Gao to be placed in a house in the outer city."

"What are Yue Ning's plans next?"

Ying Zheng wrapped the woman's small hand with his big hand.

He knew that Yue Ning was not just out of pity, there must be other arrangements.

"A Zheng, I plan to have them spin wool and knit sweaters, and then sell them to high-ranking officials and dignitaries."

It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

How long can temporary charity last?

It would be better to teach them a skill so that they can earn food and money with their own hands and maintain their dignity.

"Also, I plan to find a Mohist disciple to teach the children. The future of the Qin Dynasty depends on these children."

Chu Yuening has always believed that children are the fresh blood of the country.

If a country cannot even guarantee the survival and growth of the next generation, how can it talk about prosperity?

"I will send another doctor to teach them Confucianism."

Ying Zheng's eyes flashed and he added.

Since we plan to educate this group of children, we must do a good job in political and ideological work, and the Confucian concept of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is the most suitable.

After all, after suffering such a miserable fate as slaves, these children must have accumulated a lot of resentment towards the Qin Dynasty.

"We really need to do some ideological work."

Having been with Ying Zheng for almost a year, Chu Yuening naturally thought of this aspect.

Even though doing so may seem a bit cruel, the development of the times and the game between countries are so cruel.

Tiny, low-level people often disappear silently in the course of history.

As an emperor of all ages, Qin Shihuang was by no means a kind-hearted person. The Qin Empire was established with iron-blooded means.

Unifying the country and ending the war is a kind of kindness to the people who are starving.

Paying attention to the grassroots people can only be done when the situation is stable, and they are taking this step.

A few days later.

Xianyang outer city, Ciyiyuan.

In the huge yard, the old man was spinning wool, the woman was knitting sweaters, and the children were in class.

Although there were many people, it was not noisy at all, with only sporadic sounds of lectures.

In a room that served as a classroom, Mo Zhi was standing on the podium, teaching earnestly, while the children sitting on the chairs below were absorbing the knowledge seriously.

"I talked about this issue yesterday. Who remembers it?"

Mo Zhi asked a question while pointing his ruler at the whiteboard covered with black words behind him.

Looking at the stone slab with clear writing, he couldn't help but admire the Queen's brilliant ideas.

Whether it was desks and chairs, podiums, whiteboards, or charcoal pencils, they were all made at the suggestion of the Queen.

Although these teaching aids are simple, they are very practical. Standing on the podium, you can see every little movement of the students.

"Teacher, I remember!"

In the middle of the first row, a little boy with bright eyes actively raised his hand.

"Okay, Ah Cao, you answer. Whether you are right or wrong, the teacher will reward you with a little red flower."

After he finished speaking, the other students showed envy and regret on their faces, wishing they would have raised their hands earlier.

If you collect ten little red flowers, you can exchange them for a homework book of your own. Now they are still using a few pieces of loose paper.

"Well, that's a great answer! Here, this is your little red flower as a reward."
