Chapter 1183 Orphans and Charity

Iluli often takes her children to study as volunteers, so she is also good at farm work.

Hard to imagine, right? A high-ranking saint who is good at this kind of farm work?

This is simply unimaginable on earth. If it were a religion on earth, the saint would just serve the pope well. How could there be so many things?

"Sister Yiluli, we also want you to teach us!"

Little Sloppy ran over with the little girls. Porta smiled when he saw this and didn't care. As a girl, of course it's understandable.

"Lord Saint! We also want you to teach - Ouch! Let go!"

When several little boys saw this, they also wanted to come here, but Porta grabbed them one by one and said with a smile: "They are all girls. You can just learn farm work casually. You are all boys." , you who have to support your family in the future, why don’t you join in the fun, come here and learn from me, so that you won’t be hungry in the future.”

hateful!

It’s so abominable!

The boys looked at Tang En, who was surrounded by girls of all sizes, and the unfriendliness in their eyes became even more intense.

Of course, this does not rise to the level of hostility, but the perfect saintly sister in their hearts has been taken away, and even their female friends of the same age have also run away. They are unwilling to accept it!

Tang En noticed their gaze. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly grinned. How could these little guys still have the courage?

It's a pity that in front of this uncle, you are destined to fail!

hateful! Sooner or later, we have to defeat that guy!

Anthony hoeed the land with hatred, as if he was facing Tang En's hateful smiling face. At this moment, the boy only had the desire to defeat Tang En in his heart. As for the longing for Eluli, he was quietly disappeared in between.

After all, he is a simple child. As long as he is stimulated a little, he will immediately change the goal in his heart.

Watching the boys and girls working hard in the fields, Tang En smiled and then thought deeply.

The Holy See adopts orphans and cultivates their ability to live independently, but this does not maximize the potential of these orphans.

Purandar is sparsely populated, and the orphans in various cities and villages are also a valuable force. If they can be trained from an early age to become brave warriors, they will also send a large number of troops if there is a war later. Useful?

The only thing worth sighing about is that directional training of them directly according to the needs of society is equivalent to destroying the talents of these children and killing the possibility of geniuses in other fields among them.

But we can't blame Tang En for being too cold-blooded. The Chaos Army invades. If we can't win, what awaits this world is destruction. Everyone will die here, not to mention that they are orphans in the first place. If Tang En doesn't intervene, the Holy See will not be able to raise all the orphans. They Most of them will probably not survive. Targeted training for them will at least give them a chance to survive.

Olina, who was busy, saw Tang En sitting there deep in thought, so she put down her farm tools, walked over, gently squeezed his shoulders, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Tang En briefly explained his troubles to Olina, and finally said: "So I plan to cooperate with the Holy See to open a group of charity schools, which are also orphanages, specially used to adopt these orphans, but I am worried that doing so will kill them. The nature of these kids.”

Olina smiled and said, "Actually, you don't need to deliberately open a charity school."

"Um?"

"Aren't you already running a compulsory education school?"

Olina gently beat Tang En's shoulders and said next to him: "Although there have been a lot of things lately, Olina has been paying attention to education. The number of schools is still growing, but the number of schools is still growing. It’s easy to build, but it’s not easy to train teachers, so the enrollment rate hasn’t kept up.”

"You mean..."

"Yes, as long as the training speed of teachers can keep up, ordinary schools can actually accept a large number of these orphans. Comprehensive education is better than pure military education, right? This will not only allow them to receive normal training, but also Receive basic combat skills training, and then select each person’s different talents for subsequent training.”

Olina paused and said: "What's more, living and going to school with children from ordinary families can also prevent orphans from becoming more and more isolated, making them more cheerful and paying more attention to their current partners..."

Tang En said with a wry smile: "But according to my experience, if orphans go to school together with children from ordinary families, they will be easily discriminated against over time."

"Different."

Olina shook her head: "You said that in your world, religions are false and used to fool the people, but in Purandal, our religion is real and supported by gods."

"So, we can work with the Holy See to train those children to become devout believers from an early age, so that after they have a firm belief in their hearts, they will not be easily affected by negative emotions."

"Moreover, children will discriminate against orphans. This is an educational problem that we should solve, isn't it?"

Tang En laughed: "You are right, but I have thought too much. There is indeed no need for orphan schools, but orphanages are still necessary. After all, many of the abandoned orphans are still children who have no ability to live. , need someone to take care of them, so I decided to cooperate with the Holy See to expand, standardize and integrate the Holy See’s orphanages into a formal management system to prevent people from abusing children and using the orphanages to enrich their own pockets.”

Iluli, who had just put down her farm tools and came over to rest, smiled and said, "You are still so considerate of things."

"There's nothing we can do about it. In our world, everything happens. It's not surprising."

"Is there anyone among you who would violate children like those perverted nobles?"

"Yes, and there are quite a few such psychopaths."

Tang En said coldly: "Therefore, we must add a clause to our law. Sexual relations with boys and girls under the age of fourteen, whether voluntary or not, is considered adultery and will be dealt with severely and sentenced to death!"

"His Majesty."

Olina reminded Tang En: "In our place, there are many people who get married and have children at the age of fourteen, and Ilia..."

"..."

Tang En was silent for a moment, then waved his hand: "Then change it to twelve years old!"

Iluli glanced at Tang En, this guy definitely felt guilty just now, right? ?

"As for the charity orphanage, I think His Majesty the Pope will be happy to accept your kindness and cooperate with you."

After Iluli finished speaking, she thought for a while and then said: "But it is very expensive to open an orphanage. There are many orphans in every city. These financial expenses..."

"Financial expenses should go to the Tang Dynasty Chamber of Commerce. I will tell Fiona when I get back. As for the specific cooperation plan, Ollie and the Pope can go down to discuss it. If it doesn't work, let Fiona know and let her go too. Fiona Know how to use this opportunity to maximize the value of your charity.”

Iluli said with a wry smile: "I always feel that if charity becomes utilitarian, it loses its original meaning."

"But this is essential. As long as you are not a saint, no one can do anything without purpose. Farmers farm to harvest food to feed their families, and merchants sell goods to make money and live a better life. The nobles support the king's rule in order to stabilize their own interests, and the king rules the country in order to be famous throughout the ages. And I am both a king and a businessman, so my purpose is simpler."

Tang En said casually: "Although the Datang Chamber of Commerce has made so much money, it cannot be spent casually. The money spent must be meaningful. Just like now, part of the money we earn is used to build society, and part is used to build society. It is used to increase salary and benefits, but ultimately it is to give back to the society. Although it costs money to build an orphanage, it can gain a good reputation as long as it is run. It is not a waste, and the orphans are not properly placed, so This approach is understandable.”

Eluli looked at Tang En helplessly, even if there are not so many reasons, we will not refuse your proposal...

"The trouble is that the expenses of the orphanage are not one-time. There are so many mouths to eat and so many people to wear. These cannot be conjured out of thin air, so the subsequent ongoing expenses are the troublesome part."

Tang En sighed, pointed at the boys and girls over there who were learning to farm, and said: "They are pretty good and have some working ability, but what can those children under ten years old do? Raising them is a pure expense, even if the Tang Dynasty The Chamber of Commerce has a big business and cannot afford to burn money like this."

Iluli suddenly became anxious: "Your Majesty——"

"Don't worry, I'm not giving up on them, but they must also understand their situation and contribute their own strength to their own survival."

Tang En said: "In the future, we can consider arranging some easy jobs for the orphanage, such as asking them to process some small parts, or weave some fabrics, etc., to do some relatively easy and low-tech jobs. Don't expect them to No matter how much contribution we can make, we just need to let them understand that they are rewarded for their hard work, and that their current life is earned with their own hands.”

After listening to Tang En's words, Iluli breathed a sigh of relief.

What Tang En said is actually the same as what the Holy See considers, that is, the orphans cannot be allowed to eat for free all the time, and they cannot be allowed to develop the habit of getting something for nothing. They must be made aware of the pressure of life.

The Holy See uses a volunteer learning method, and Tang En obviously intends to use a similar method to educate them.

Regardless of the benefits, at least these children will grow up to be hard-working adults, instead of being lazy or cynical youths.

Tang En also plans to set a rule that when the orphans grow up, part of their labor income will be given back to the orphanage to raise subsequent children with itchy hands. In this way, as long as they survive the first few years, they will be able to A virtuous cycle will be formed and the economic pressure on the country and Datang Chamber of Commerce will be greatly reduced.

The plan is very good, but how to implement it depends on how the Holy See and Alleria determine the plan. Whether it is based on the Holy See or the government. These are all follow-up matters. I have not thought about that much for the time being. It's no use either.

And now...

Tang En just wanted to push those naughty kids who secretly glared at him from time to time and rub them hard on the ground, so that they would know what respect meant!
