Chapter 126: The Great Philanthropist
"When the time comes, it won't work to say it......"
Seeing his pretending god stick expression, Paris suddenly felt that her back molars were a little itchy, but after all, there was a request at this time, so she could only endure it......
"When is the time to come? You don't have to wait until the 10th day, do you? I'll tell you, if you don't tell me in advance, I won't be here in ten days! Paris said categorically.
It seems that she still doesn't believe Lin Xian a little, this is to make up her mind in advance and prepare to repay the debt......
"You can rest assured that it can be as short as five or six days or as long as seven or eight days, and the time will be ripe! I'll tell you how to do it then! But how the hell do you do it? Can you owe millions of gold coins for a charitable donation? β
"It's not all about the hypocrites in the temple, don't you know, the orphanage they run ......"
It turns out that although the Kingdom of Navi has been peaceful for a long time, how safe can it be that the environment is similar to that of the European Middle Ages on Earth? Every year, a large number of civilians are infected with diseases or robbed by thieves because of border wars...... and other reasons to die!
This has resulted in a large number of orphans who end up in orphanages if they have no relatives or friends to turn to.
And the most famous orphanage in Scandand is the Shenhui Orphanage set up by the temple. Because of the large number of believers, Shenhui Orphanage has become almost synonymous with charity!
But after those orphans enter the Shenhui Orphanage, they must memorize the temple books and pray to the gods every day to have food, otherwise they will inevitably be beaten and abused! In the past few years, there have been several scandals of abusing orphans, and there are even rumors of Shenhui Orphanage selling orphans as slaves! It's just that because of the huge hidden power of the temple, these scandals have been suppressed and not spread!
As a member of the Adventurers' Guild, Paris is still a person who has access to high-level intelligence, but she knows that these rumors are true! Even more serious!
Except for those orphans who are pious and can memorize the classics and have a slightly better life, the remaining orphans who can't memorize the classics and are not pious enough are either beaten, scolded and abused every day, or work hard as child laborers! Not only are they not fed and clothed, but a large number of orphans are beaten to death every year, or sold to powerful families as slaves! There are even individual sacrifices to orphans***, these secret information made Paris look indignant!
However, after the last conflict, the Adventurer's Guild and the Temple reached a non-aggression peace agreement. Although Paris was angry at what Shenhui Orphanage had done, there was nothing she could do, so she could only donate to other orphanages from time to time.
Paris's purpose in donating at the beginning was very simple, that is, she felt that if other orphanages took one more orphan, one less orphan would be abused in Shenhui Orphanage
Among the orphanages that Paris has donated money to is the officially opened Nasqi orphanage! The Nasqi Orphanage was officially opened by the Kingdom of Nawei during the Warring States Period, and it was a charity dedicated to taking in war orphans at that time! It is the largest orphanage in the country except for the Shenhui Orphanage. As the war decreased, other orphans were now taken in.
So from the age of seventeen, she donated the rest to various orphanages every month, except for the money she left only enough to live! After five years, although life is a little poor, I am very happy, and it has become a habit to donate.
Who knew that more than a year ago, things suddenly changed! Under the pretext that there is no war now and there are not many orphans, the Kingdom of Nawei has stopped funding and wants to abolish the Naschi orphanage! And decided to contact the temple to merge the orphans into the Shenhui Orphanage as a whole!
Now Paris was dumbfounded, she had been working around for several years, and now she turned back?
Fortunately, her father was a high-level member of the Adventurer's Guild and was in retreat at the time. Through means such as false military orders, and through the relationship of the guild, Paris quickly contacted the government department in charge of the Nasqi orphanage, saying that the adventurer's guild would take over the orphanage to share the government's worries!
Hearing that someone was willing to take over this money-losing goods, the government really gave the green light all the way, and it didn't take a week for the Nasqi orphanage to return to Paris!
After taking over the orphanage, Paris realized that charity is really a lot of money! The little money raised through the fundraiser is a drop in the bucket! was forced to have no choice but to embezzle public funds to fill this bottomless pit! At that time, the idea was to borrow public funds now, and then quickly find a source of money and make up for it!
Who knew that the source of money had not yet been found, and the embezzlement of public funds would happen! As soon as the adventurer's guild settled the accounts, in less than half a year, Paris embezzled more than one million gold coins of public funds! Now the problem is serious! Even Paris's father hurriedly ended his retreat and came out to deal with the matter......
"So, I was sent to the city of Widton! You know the rest of the story......" Paris said with a wistful expression.
"No, I said, how the hell did you get into an orphanage? Spent a million gold coins in less than half a year? Lin Xian asked with a shocked expression.
"It's not an orphanage! Nasqi Orphanage is a nationwide charity with a total of 13 orphanages! And the facilities are also a little dilapidated, don't you need money to replace the facilities? Also, those orphans used to eat so badly! Now of course, it's time to improve the food......"
ββ¦β¦β
Lin Xian looked at her speechlessly, this is definitely the poorest philanthropist he has ever seen! Not to mention embezzlement of public funds for charity, it is even very selective......
However, she still secretly admired in her heart, Paris began to donate to orphanages at the age of seventeen, and now she has even taken over a national charity, although the operation method is a little naΓ―ve, but it is definitely sincerely for charity!
"By the way, after you were assigned to Wilton City, where did the funds for the orphanage's operation come from? I'm afraid it's not enough to just send a little money every month, right? Lin Xian suddenly thought of a question.
"Hmm...... I don't know very well......" Paris had a confused expression, as if she had never thought about it.
ββ¦β¦ Never mind! Before you left, who was the list of orphanage people for? β
"Humph! All my father confiscated ......"
Lin Xian nodded secretly, it seems that he was right! For more than a year, I'm afraid it was Paris's father who secretly helped her support the operation of the orphanage! Judging from Paris's personality, it is estimated that the one million gold coins were also embezzled by the staff at the beginning! I just don't know how much her father can get back......
The two chatted all the way, and once again walked through the labyrinthine alleys and alleys, returning to the hotel before dark.
Hundreds of bright smokeless candles have been lit in the hotel's magnificent lobby, and hundreds of bright smokeless candles have been lit on the huge crystal chandeliers, and the bright candlelight shines on the golden wall murals, making it even more magnificent!
One of Mrs. Sandra's maids stood in the lobby, her eyes kept looking at the door, and when she saw Lin Xian and Paris pushing the door in, she hurriedly said, "Baroness Sandra has already booked dinner, please go directly to the hotel restaurant to eat, please come with me." β
Lin Xian nodded slightly to her in thanks, and followed the maid to the restaurant with Paris.
"Alas...... It's another way of being courteous to others, it's all because I'm full of economic talent......" Lin Xian thought proudly.
This person is really going to die if he doesn't pretend to be!
