Section 358 Mercy Hall
Of course, some of the light girls want to have their family just settled in Yemei, and they were soon targeted. First of all, a few people asked someone to pass it off, some said that the rich and noble families wanted to take concubines, and some said that they wanted big families to buy maids, and the value was not low. Rather than a family like this who is dying, it is better to give her daughter a way out and exchange it for some silver. It's still Lu Bai who has some insight, and after listening to it, he struggled and said that it must not be.
"But all serious people, concubines and maids, no one should enter the door, and at least they should be local people who know the roots." He gasped, "We are outsiders, and we don't have a shop guarantee, so it's not a good lord to buy it, you must hold on, don't let your daughter fall into the fire pit!" As he spoke, he couldn't breathe and rolled his eyes again. The family cried, shouted and massaged, which finally made Lu Bai breathe again.
Seeing that the Lu family refused to sell, Ren Yazi hired several rogue children who specialized in seducing women to seduce Lu Cheng. Fortunately, Lu Cheng was used to seeing this kind of thing when he was a child, and he was not moved by his rhetoric, and Lu Shouye took care of it tightly. But the problem of livelihood has never been solved, and I want my son to find a place to be a partner. There is no shop and no one is willing to take them in, so I have to work as a casual worker to live, and I can't do manual work and earn a few dollars.
When the family was at the end of their rope, the people of the Jihuido appeared, and it didn't take much to take them into the church.
Cihui Hall is a special charity hall opened in Guangzhou Railway Station. The reason is that the behavior of the refugees admitted to the Guangzhou station has begun to become noticeable. The number of refugees they host is not only large, but also lasts for a long time, making it difficult to cover up for a long time.
It is now the Qiwei Dart Bureau that handles the reception of refugees. But many people know that Qiwei Dart Bureau was sent by Zicheng Ji to do this. In this way, refugees are being taken in on a large scale, and the refugees who are admitted are unknown, plus their background in selling Australian goods. It is natural that such a rumor appeared in the city of Guangzhou: Zichengji is trafficking people to Australia. Some people even said that their behavior of sheltering orphans was to use boys and girls to refine the "secret medicine of Australia", and the crystal mirror was made with this medicine.
Although the Ming government does not care much about the lives of its own people, it still has to be asked about such a thing as being trafficked overseas, which "damages the prestige of heaven and humiliates the national body". Fortunately, on weekdays, there are dots everywhere at Guangzhou Station, and there are Gao Ju and Liang Cunhou and others who say that things are not too big.
But this incident also sounded the alarm bell for them. It is dangerous to continue this model, even if the government does not care about it, and is instigated by people with ulterior motives, they will not be able to bear it if the people rise up to make trouble. In those days, foreign missionaries came to China to preach, handle charity, and shelter orphans and abandoned babies were suspected by the public, often leading to "teaching plans, small is a teaching."
Zhang Xin, who presided over this matter, also had another hidden concern: a large number of refugees were taken in, which was very suspicious of rebellion in ancient times. Therefore, Zhang Xin felt that he had to find a cover for the behavior of the Guangzhou station as soon as possible.
After discussing with everyone, Zhang Xin decided to pull Liang Cunhou into the gang and specially organize a public activity in the charity hall, and don't use the dart bureau to come forward to do this as a dart game, which is really too suspicious.
Liang Gongzi usually pities the old and the poor, and is very enthusiastic about charity, so it is only fitting for him to put a protective umbrella for immigration work as the son of an official eunuch.
At that moment, Guo Yi prepared a gift to meet Liang Cunhou and put forward his own suggestions. Liang Cunhou was really interested in this, not only agreed to serve as the director of Shantang at the moment, but also donated 1,000 taels of silver. The mode of cooperation is a typical official-business-to-business* collusion: Liang Cunhou is mainly famous, and Zichengji is responsible for contributing money. Guo Yi also pulled a group of official eunuchs who Gao Ju and Pei Lixiu made friends in Ziming Building: Wu Zhixiang, Dong Jizhong and others to be the directors of Shantang. These children of official eunuchs were not interested in charity, but they couldn't stand Pei Lixiu's soft grinding, and they heard that they didn't need to spend money, so they were just a name, so they all responded. Guo Yi was willing to spend money again, spent a lot of money, took the path of the governor's concubine, and even made an inscription of Wang Zunde to the town.
The Zendo Hall was named, "Jihuitang". The specific personnel in it are still the original team of the Qiwei Dart Bureau. Zhang Xin transferred them out separately and set up this team, which was directly under his control. Subsequently, a number of reliable indigenous cadres were brought in from Lingao to enrich the ranks.
Zhang Xin not only made a fuss about sheltering refugees, but also engaged in common charity activities such as medicine and tea in summer, cotton clothes in winter, and porridge and coffins on weekdays. From time to time, he also engaged in the repair of bridges and roads in the two counties of Guangzhou City. In terms of accepting refugees, it does not only focus on migrant refugees, but also successively set up traditional charitable facilities such as "orphanage small nursing home" and "Qingjietang" to shelter the local poor who have lost their labor force.
These measures have greatly diluted the original situation of the Guangzhou station that originally collected a large number of manpower. But the stream of searching"! Buzhang Xinke's office did not listen to the order, and Cihuitang organized a special "mother" to receive customers, and walked the streets and alleys every day, going in and out of various temples to accommodate foreign refugees. As long as it is suitable, it will be taken away immediately with coaxing and deception.
Guo Yi is not stingy with money in this regard. Buying off all the petty officials and officials in Fanli, Nanhai and Guangzhou Prefecture, coupled with the support of Liang Cunhou, the son of the family, the matter of collecting the population has been done smoothly.
Although the appearance of the Lu family is down, it is not from a mud-legged peasant at first glance. The containment team knew that the Aussians were right, "City people." Very interested, especially with young girls in this house. It didn't take much to say anything, the Lu family was contained, and the rest of the matter was up to them, first, "purification" and then signing the deed of sale, zuihou went directly to Lingao.
Lu Bai was carried into the special medical center of the Slimming Camp, which was isolated from each other. This place is dedicated to sheltering and treating sick refugees, on the one hand, to avoid manpower loss and infection; On the other hand, it is for doctors to practice their hands. The Ministry of Health has set up a designated internship unit for doctors, nurses, and pharmaceutical factories to gain experience in various new drugs.
The patient who survived under the combined devastation of Mongolian doctors, inexperienced nurses, and various new drugs that did not know the curative effect and toxic side effects were cured, and those who could not survive were finished. Of course, there are many people who die, but there are also many who are saved. It was here that the first batch of crude sulfur limbs manufactured by the media coking complex proved its efficacy, side effects and dosage to be effective without dying.
Lu Bai once again proved that he was a very vigorous person, although he was skinny when he was discharged from the hospital, he still survived and recovered from the pain, and after a month of recuperation, he was even able to join the basic army that every refugee had to go through. After the end of the slimming period, Lu Jiahan's family was placed in the newly established Calais commune. Before the placement, a few people in blue cloth clothes specially "interrogated" the whole family, and asked all the affairs of the Lu family, no matter how big or small, and even the affairs of the in-laws who Lu Cheng failed to marry.
The commune of Calais was the fourth commune set up by the Civil Affairs Committee, focusing on agricultural development. It is also the second Tianyang development of Wunanhai's Agricultural Committee after the development of the United States and Taiwan. About 3,000 migrants were resettled in five new settlements.
The Lu family once again has their own house, although the area is not large, but at least it is their own. As for the mortgage to buy a house, it can be repaid in years. For them it is simply given for nothing.
In addition to the house, the commune also distributed basic household items and enough clothes for everyone. I started eating in the cafeteria, and then I changed my salary. The lady of the Lu family started a fire and cooked by herself. The first time the family sat around the table to eat, they couldn't help but cry, and they felt as if they were having a nightmare.
After months of wandering, he finally lived in a clean house again, not exposed to the sun and rain, and ate hot meals normally every day, which really felt like crawling out of hell for the small citizens in the past, and the Australian chief was the Bodhisattva of great compassion and universal compassion for all sentient beings
Life gradually settles down, and the surprise of many new things seen in daily life slowly fades into dullness. In the blink of an eye, the Lu family has been in Lingao for eight months. In the past eight months, life has passed smoothly and quietly, the Lu family is a small businessman, and the father and son of the Lu family do not know anything about doing farm work, but both of them know some writing and abacus, and after a simple training, they became clerks and accountants in the commune.
Clerical and accounting, even if it is a small cadre, Lu Bai is very satisfied with the current situation.
Zhang Luo wants to do family affairs for his children. However, it is not easy to do family affairs, and there are more men and fewer women in Lingao, and a large number of displaced people are mostly men. The price of the bride price is surprisingly high.
In order to earn enough for this dowry and pay off the mortgage every month, the Lu family father and son also did some extra manual work after work to earn a few jobs. Lu Cheng's mother signed up as a worker in an imitation weaving factory, and planted a small piece of self-reserved land at home after work, except for a few chickens from the Tiandi Association to raise to subsidize the family.
But such subsidies are still a drop in the bucket for the amount of dowry. After Lu Bai made calculations, he found that even if the dowry market no longer rose, he would have to work like this for five years to make up the cost of marrying his son, which is not counting the down payment needed to buy a house for his son and daughter-in-law in the future. According to Nade's rules: the first house of immigrants is zero down payment, and the second house has to be paid 30% in advance. That's not a small amount!
Lu Cheng felt that she had to do her part in the matter of her brother's marriage to his daughter-in-law. Thinking about it, my income is too small to calculate the work according to the assigned work every day, so it is better to go to work in the factory and get a salary.
