I want to ruin the country
Chapter 66: Building a Royal School
What should we assign to Wang Yujin and his wife? We need to let them play their role.
Don’t even think about getting promoted to an official position. The two of them combined cannot recognize three words, and they don’t know that a fallen carrying pole is the character “一”.
Although he has power, he cannot do that. Even if he wants to harm the Qing Dynasty, this is not the way to do it.
It’s not impossible to give them some money to allow them to do business, but the effect will be smaller.
Bringing them to the capital would be worthwhile only if they can play a big role. After much thought, we can let them set up an orphanage!
There are many orphans and elderly people living alone in and outside the capital, and we need to develop welfare programs.
We need to have someone to rely on when we are young and to be taken care of when we are old. Haha, that’s the idea!
First, we will set up an orphanage to provide them with food and shelter, and let Wang Yujin and his wife manage it. As long as the children have a good heart, it doesn’t matter whether they can read or not.
To run an orphanage, one must first have a house. He called Wenqing over.
"Do you have any big houses?"
Wenqing bowed and saluted.
"Yes, Your Majesty, how big does it want?"
Yining Road,
"The bigger the better!"
Wenqing misunderstood and asked,
"Is the Emperor going to reward anyone?"
Yining Road,
"I want to set up an orphanage!"
Wen Qing said in surprise,
"Even if we set up an orphanage, let alone one, I'm afraid even eight or ten wouldn't be enough to accommodate them all!"
Yining nodded.
"I understand. We'll start by accepting orphans from the capital, starting with infants and young children, both boys and girls!"
Man Hing Road,
"I understand the emperor's intention, but I'm afraid that burning incense will attract ghosts, and then I'll end up drawing a dog instead of a tiger!"
Yining nodded.
"You are right to worry. I have thought about finding some ways out for those wanderers from other places who can work or join the army.
As for the others, we will try to get them back to their hometowns. In the future, we will set up orphanages all over the country so that they don’t have to travel far away!”
Wen Qing frowned. Although he didn't know how many orphans there were across the country, he thought there must be a lot. This was a big project, and the key was that it would cost money, but the country had no money now.
Yining asked,
"Well, is there anything suitable?"
Wen Qing suddenly woke up and said,
"Yes, yes, there is a courtyard with four entrances and exits, more than eighty main rooms, and more than one hundred and fifty side rooms, ear rooms, and cross-courtyards, covering an area of thirty-five acres."
Yining was happy.
"Okay, draw me a general layout!"
After Wenqing finished the painting, Yining fell in love with it at first sight. This courtyard was not far from the Forbidden City, just two miles east of Prince Yong's Mansion.
Yining started planning and spent the whole morning on it. He calculated that there should be no problem in providing food and shelter for a thousand children here, and that dormitories, restaurants, and bathrooms could all be arranged.
Yining thought again, this alone is not enough, we can't let these children eat and play, play and eat, we must train them to become talents.
Yes, why run an orphanage? Why not just turn it into a kindergarten, primary school or junior high school?
Yes, the first royal school in the country composed of orphans was established.
It’s just that there are no classrooms. Think about it, it’s not a big deal. The conditions are difficult now, so we can let the children sleep in the classroom, which is a hundred times better than letting them sleep in the streets or dilapidated temples!
Go to class during the day and sleep at night without interrupting either. That’s how you do it!
He personally wrote the plan and called Zaiyuan over.
"Go find me a thousand orphans on the street. Local ones first, and arrange them from youngest to oldest!"
Zai Yuan was stunned.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?"
Yining Road,
"I will set up a royal school to take in orphans and provide them with food, drink and education. What do you think?"
Zaiyuan understood.
"Very good, Your Majesty, this is a great deed, but what about the money? We have no money anyway!"
Yining sucked his teeth.
"Why do I find that whenever I want to say something, you guys always talk about money? Money, money, money, money, money. You won't do anything without money?"
Zai Yuan spread his hands.
"How can we do anything without money? We can't do anything without money!"
Yining Road,
"Okay, okay, I'll take care of the money. I'll pay the money and be the principal. You'll be responsible for finding teachers to teach. You don't have to worry about anything else. How's that?"
Zai Yuan was happy.
"That's fine, I'll do it right away!"
After Zaiyuan left, the military officer of the Dali Temple was asking to see the emperor, and Yining called him in.
Yining took a look at the military officer and saw that he had a pointed face, high eyebrows and slanted eyes, and did not look like a good person.
I thought to myself, I don’t know what kind of official rank this person is. I can’t judge a person by his appearance. I don’t want him to suffer injustice for no reason.
After the greetings were over, the military officer was playing the song,
"Your Majesty, I have investigated the case of Zhang Moting. Zhang and his five sons are guilty of evil deeds, except for the youngest son Zhang Congzhi.
Zhang Moting was implicated in three murders, and his other three sons were implicated in over ten. They also committed a number of other crimes, including embezzling land, taking on lawsuits, forcibly abducting women, falsely accusing innocent people of being thieves, and usury.
Yining asked,
"Did they all plead guilty?"
Military officer's righteous path,
"Having been caught red-handed by the Emperor, they know they can't escape the blame. It's no use trying to deny it!"
Yining asked,
“How should we judge them?”
Military officer's righteous path,
"According to the law, he should be executed immediately!"
Yining Road,
"Then sentence him according to the law!"
The military officer kowtowed again and said,
"Your Majesty, Zhang Moting knows that his crimes are heinous and he cannot escape death. He is willing to hand over all his property in exchange for the life of his son Zhang Congyi. Please consider it!"
Yining smiled,
"Willing to hand over all the family property? What a joke! All this property was taken by trickery and robbery. Is it still his Zhang family's?"
It turned out that in order to leave a line of cigarettes for himself, Zhang Moting hinted to Wu Guanzheng in the lobby, asking him to excuse himself in front of the emperor and spare the life of his youngest son Zhang Congyi.
If the matter is accomplished, Zhang Moting is willing to thank you with 100,000 taels of silver.
Wu Guanzheng is not stupid either. Now that you are in, who will give you the money?
Zhang Moting told him that he had money somewhere else, and as long as the matter was done, Wu Guanzheng would definitely get the money.
The military officer knew that Zhang Moting had offended the emperor, so he couldn't do much about it.
The temptation of one hundred thousand taels of silver was too great, and the military officer did not want to give up. He felt that Zhang Congzhi had done nothing evil, so it was okay to give it a try, so he bravely told the emperor about it!
Yining asked,
"Are you sure Zhang Congzhi didn't do anything evil?"
The military officer was saying,
"I guarantee with my head that none of these cases involve Zhang Congzhi. Not only that, he has repeatedly advised his father and brothers to be kind and not push people too far!"
Yining nodded.
"So, Zhang Congzhi is a kind-hearted person. Well, go and bring him here. I want to see him!"
The military officer was shuddering inwardly. Why was the emperor so serious? He was just a thirteen-year-old child. Couldn't he just let him go?
Muttering in his heart, he dared not delay and immediately went back to bring Zhang Congzhi.
When Yining saw the child, who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with red lips and white teeth and a righteous face, he couldn't help but like him a little.
"Zhang Congzhi, tell me about your life story!"
