The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

It is said to be outside the city, but in fact it is the slums surrounding the capital.

These families have no land and no fixed income, and many of them rely on their family members to work long-term or short-term for a living.

Some families have many elderly people and children but few able-bodied laborers, and they cannot survive, so they have no choice but to sell their children into slavery.

Xiu Luoran followed the couple for a long time, and after many turns, they finally arrived at the destination.

Looking around, the city wall is not far away. Beyond the city wall, you are out of the city.

The couple went home.

Xiu Luoran saw that their home consisted of three mud and thatched houses that had fallen into disrepair over the years. The western mountain had been severely eroded by rain and a corner had collapsed.

Xiu Luoran looked around and saw a lot of mud and thatched houses of similar heights, many of which were already dilapidated.

If it rains harder in the fall and snows more heavily in the winter this year, many more houses may collapse.

Xiu Luoran thought about it, went home, took out Tayun, and rode the horse for a circle around the outskirts of the city.

Xiu Luoran didn't expect that the house of the couple she saw was quite good. No matter what, although a corner of their house collapsed, it was still habitable after some repairs.

After running around, Xiu Luoran saw that many families didn't even have a house like this. They just built a shed to live in, which couldn't shelter them from wind and rain.

There are also many beggars and disabled people who have nowhere to live. They live wherever they can. They are alive today but don’t know whether they can see the sun tomorrow.

Xiu Luoran went to the Ministry of Revenue to find Yuan Ling.

"Master Yuan, I have found another job for you."

Yuan Ling is a smart man and he knew what Xiu Luoran meant as soon as he heard it.

"Miss Xiu, just tell me if you have anything to say."

"Sir Yuan, there are some things in your Ministry of Revenue that you may not understand clearly.

Send someone to invite Lord Zhou, the prefect of Jingzhao, and you two can discuss it together. If you eat alone, people will envy you."

When Yuan Ling heard Xiu Luoran say this, he felt that it was not a trivial matter.

He immediately asked someone to invite Jingzhao Yin Zhou Mida to come.

After careful consideration, Xiu Luoran said:

"Master Zhou, Master Yuan, have you ever been around the capital?"

Zhou Mida had met Xiu Luoran, but didn't know her.

When he heard Xiu Luoran ask this, he didn't know how to answer, so he looked at Yuan Ling.

Yuan Ling smiled and said, "Master Zhou, just tell the truth. Miss Zhou is not an outsider."

You are not an outsider, right? What does it have to do with me?

Zhou Mi Da thought so in his heart, but said very cautiously:

"I don't know why Miss Xiu asked that?"

Xiu Luoran kept staring at Zhou Mida and asked:

"What if, Mr. Zhou, I mean what if, if it snows for three consecutive days this winter.

Let’s not talk about those who have no houses to live in, what will happen to the poor people who have houses to live in?”

Zhou Mi Da knew this very well, because he was in charge of this. He answered honestly:

"There is too much snow in winter, and many people's houses will collapse, making their lives extremely difficult.

If the situation is serious, some people may die of starvation and freezing.”

Xiu Luoran smiled and said, "Master Zhou, if something like this really happened, you would be in trouble.

Not only will you be so busy that you'll be exhausted all day, but you may even end up getting no thanks for your efforts.

The people above you force you, the people below you count on you. But you can’t count on anyone, you’re just wasting your energy.”

Xiu Luoran was absolutely right. Zhou Mida had experienced it personally.

Zhou Mi Da thought about the fact that Xiu Luo Ran paid for the road construction a few months ago. Could it be that...

He asked tentatively: "Miss Xiu, do you want to give money to build houses for the poor people?"

When Yuan Ling heard this, his eyes widened. He couldn't believe his ears.

You know, building a house is not like building a road. There are many issues and aspects involved.

There are so many poor people in the capital, including many beggars. Can Miss Xiu cover them all?

How much money is enough?

Then I heard Xiu Luoran say: "I really have this plan, so I came to ask you two for help."
