The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Before Yun Yan could even leave the gate, she brought Lin Yi Zhe back.

When Bao Zheng saw it, he thought that there was something he hadn't had time to explain, so he put on a posture of listening.

As a result, Yunyan replied: "Master, just now I chatted with Director Lin and found that our Salesian Bureau is living in poverty. What kind of meat and vegetables do you have here, can you donate some to us?"

Bao Zheng: "..."

What is "you here"?You seem to have borrowed it for less than half an hour!

Bao Zheng took a deep breath, so Yun Yanhui is already talking to him on behalf of the Salesian Bureau?

Lin Yi stood aside, trembling a bit, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.Bao Xianggong's face is so dark, and he is not angry, he can't tell what kind of mood he is in!

As for donating things, Bao Zheng was really willing to donate, but Yun Yanhui's posture of coming back to help other families to collect donations was too subtle, Bao Zheng had to be convinced, well, it is indeed Yun Yanhui.

Lin Yi saw that Bao Zheng pondered for a long time, and finally said slowly: "Okay, I'll write you a note, you go to Cangcao to get it."

Bao Zheng made a few strokes, and sure enough, the handwriting was proof, and he returned the supplies to Yunyan.

Yun Yan came out of the study gracefully, and saw that Lin Yi was still trembling, so she comforted her, "Director, you are so frightened now, what can you do when you go to Yushitai later?"

This consolation made Lin Yi almost lose his legs. Ordinary officials, how can they like Taiwan officials?It's all a group of crows!

"Yushitai... let's not go there, shall we? The officials on the stage are poor, and there is nothing to donate if you think about it..."

"Why not, donate some pens, ink, paper, inkstone and books to us!" Yun Yan replied confidently, "Director, I understand that the Salesian Bureau doesn't seem to teach children to read, or send them to school, right?"

Lin Yi thought about it, really, Yushitai also has things to donate, "Yes, yes, the bureau is too busy raising children, so I really don't have the time to teach, and those who love to learn follow the people in the bureau. That's all."

After all, it was only in the Southern Song Dynasty that the systems of various welfare institutions were complete, and they are still somewhat incomplete now.

So Yunyan went back to Cangcao to get things first, and met Ermao who was guarding here, and stepped forward to touch him.

Cangcao's officials greeted Yun Yan back, asked someone to count him, and agreed to help him send him directly to the Salesian Bureau.If someone from the Salesian Bureau came here, they wouldn't have this kind of treatment, but Yun Yan's answer was different, he was one of his own.

Cangcao's management also told Yun Yanhui that the recent rat catcher in the mansion was a family with a family of females.As they grow older, female cats begin to hook up with male cats outside and give birth to many kittens.

Previously, Da Mao's child was in someone else's house, that was a big show of prestige.Therefore, now that there are kittens again, many people come to beg, especially scholars.Printing was developed in this dynasty, and there were too many books at home, so it was inevitable that they would be destroyed by rats, so a capable raccoon slave was needed.

The cats in Kaifeng Mansion not only have fine traditions, but also have good meanings. If they come from Kaifeng Mansion, can they catch thieves?No, there are many people begging to come to the door.

Yun Yan replied solemnly: "Then you must be locked up... By the way, I will also apply for one for the Salesian Bureau." Later, he will go to the Yushitai to collect donations, and he also needs cats.

After going through the formalities, Yun Yan went back to Yushitai with Lin Yi.

When Yu Shi Zhongcheng heard that it was Yun Yanhui who came with the chief of the Salesian Bureau, he was quite puzzled, so he came out to have a look in person.

After hearing Yun Yan's reply that he was going to be seconded to the Salesian Bureau, he was suddenly speechless, after thinking about it in his heart, he understood, and reluctantly said: "Not bad, not bad."

"Hehe, right, that's why I came here to say hello to the director..." Yun Yan smiled back with a very malicious intention.

Yushi Zhongcheng suddenly felt bad, "How are you doing?"

Yun Yan made it clear when she came back, "...That's it. I hope that Yushitai can carry forward its kindness, donate some of the four treasures of the study, and donate some poems and books. I will first thank you for the children of the Salesian Bureau."

Censor Zhongcheng: "..."

He was so stupid, he thought Yun Yanhui and Lin Yi were nervous about rejecting Yushitai, so he went to the door to explain himself, but he didn't expect...

Yun Yan replied that it was so grandiose, if they don't even donate anything, wouldn't they appear very heartless and unloving?They are all scholars, can they afford to lose this person?

Gritting his teeth, Yu Shi Zhongcheng said, "Donate!"

Everyone was happy, so Yun Yan went back happily and took the note from Yushi Zhongcheng again, and discussed with the people at Yushitai: "Can you send it directly to our Salesian Bureau?"

"cannot!"

Yun Yan was not sad when she returned, "Oh, it's fine, then I'll ask my brother from Kaifeng Mansion to help pick it up later."

Where should I go next, Yun Yan looked back, "Hanlin Academy."

Lin Yi scratched his head, "Are you going to ask for books too?"

"We already have the book, and the main purpose of going to the Imperial Academy is to ask for people." Yun Yan replied.

Lin Yi: "Huh?"

Yun Yan replied: "We have all the books, why don't we ask for some professors?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Yun Yanhui was very ashamed, he was really shameless and used a sledgehammer to kill chickens, it was really... The Imperial Academy is familiar and free!Many of their teachers in Kaifeng Fuxue are part-timers, otherwise he must give priority to cheating his own people.

Moreover, Yunyan's return is not to ask people to stay permanently, but to hope that they can send people to give lectures in turn. The current goal is to enlighten the children.

Yun Yanhui has a good relationship with the Hanlin Academy, and Hu Hanlin is a big kid in it. When he found Hu Hanlin and said that with Hu Hanlin's character, he naturally thought it was a good thing, so he agreed immediately.

……

After such a trip, Yunyan also asked Renzong to increase the official land by [-] acres, and in the end he didn't even let Jiaofang go. He talked about the regular cultural performances-Jiaofang was quite happy. Yan Hui catches up with friendship.

Lin Yi felt that it was a little unreal, and this was...too easy, right?

The Salesian Bureau has been open for so long, and no one has thought about fundraising?Of course there is!However, the efficiency is definitely not as high as Yun Yanhui. To put it in a bad way, the number of people who are willing to donate things to them is far less than the number of people who donate things to temples and Taoist temples.

However, Lin Yi watched Yun Yanhui always get things done in a few words, as if he had colluded with others beforehand, and he was about to doubt life.

Kaifeng Mansion, Yushitai, Hanlin Academy...even the official family, shouldn't it be difficult to deal with?

Lin Yi was stunned, and had only one thought, no wonder everyone wanted to borrow Yunyan to return, because...it's really useful!

Yun Yan made a note of the loan on the paper, looked at the amount borrowed today, and said, "Director, let's just go to the last place."

Lin Yi has become numb, and now even if Yunyan said that he would take him to the post station to ask the Liao people to raise donations, he would not find it inconceivable at all.

Yun Yan smiled back and brought Lin Yi to Tao Zhiyao's candy shop.

Lin Yi was puzzled and said excitedly: "This is?"

Yun Yan replied: "I can't just move my mouth and let people bleed so much." He pointed to Tao Zhiyao, "I personally donate a batch of candy."

Lin Yi didn't know what to say, "Isn't this costing you? Tao Zhiyao's candy is too expensive! If you want to buy it, you can buy other things. Chasing the wind, this candy is not necessary... "

"Why is it not necessary? Eating candy is so fun, can you buy it?" Yun Yan replied, "Besides, this shop is run by my sister, so it's not that expensive for me to buy it here."

Lin Yi was in a daze, and was persuaded. When Yun Yan went back in and bought a bunch of candy. After the shopkeeper tried his best to refuse, and paid the money, he realized that even if he bought it here at cost price, it would be cheaper. It's expensive to buy something else.

But Yun Yan came back with the idea of ​​spending money, so Lin Yi definitely couldn't stop him.The two borrowed an ox cart from the shop and went back with several large bags of sugar.

……

There are more than 400 adopted children in the Salesian Bureau, and more than half of them are under the age of ten.

Lin Yi brought Yunyan back, and went in with Tang in his arms, only to see the buzz of people inside.

The officials are busy with the supplies that have been continuously delivered from various places today, and they are exhausted.They still haven't figured out which silver shop the officer robbed... No, it's useless to rob the silver shop where these things were delivered. It should be said that they had some shit luck ?

There are so many things, edible and useful, covering almost every aspect, and everyone is excited and happy.

On the other side, dozens of children were watching a kitten napping in a bamboo basket with their buttocks pouted. From time to time, they stretched out a small hand to touch the kitten.

The kitten was sleeping soundly, not moving at all, but whimpering from time to time.This was sent from Kaifeng Mansion, and its mother is the famous Ermao of Kaifeng Mansion.

There is still a clean cloth under the kitten, and its body is also clean. The fur color is yellow and white, with faint markings in the yellow. The nose and paw pads are flesh pink, which looks very cute. .

Underneath it, there is even a cute mouse-shaped puppet.

Some children said enviously: "It must be the big official in the cat, and there are such toys..." Her most cherished toy is a kitten carved out of wood by herself, but many people say that it is not like a kitten at all. cat.

"It's so beautiful..." Another child carefully touched the kitten's head, and saw it move its head and rub against the puppet in its arms.

The children showed love and envy for this kitten that actually had its own toy.

A woman wiped her sweat and shouted to the other side: "Don't touch the kitten too hard! Don't squeeze together, the kitten will suffocate!"

The children backed away a little bit timidly, but they still couldn't bear to go away, and they gathered around again after a while.

Yun Yan looked back and found that the spirits of these children were not bad. After all, they were under the emperor's feet. Lin Yi also seemed to be a very responsible and moral official. They should not live too badly.

At this time, Lin Yi also yelled: "Don't look at the kitten, who wants candy?"

Candy?

Those children exploded the pot almost instantly, temporarily left the beautiful kitten behind, and gathered around here.

Naturally, sugar is more attractive to them than kittens.Just thinking about it, I feel that there is more fluid in my mouth.

"Your Majesty, I want to eat!"

"I want candy!"

They all saw the things Lin Yi and Yun Yan returned to their hands, drooling, eager to pounce on them.But because of Lin Yi's majesty, he didn't dare to do this.

The kitten opened its eyes, raised its head to look at this side, then retracted its head again, and just called out in a low voice: "Meow."

Lin Yi took the opportunity to introduce Yun Yanhui to them, "These candies were given to you by Mr. Yun Lang, what should you do?"

Children, you push me, I push you, and finally salute to Yun Yan back singing.

When Yun Yan came back, she smiled and handed out candy to them.

In the Salesian Bureau, it is good to be able to eat enough and wear warm clothes. There is definitely no such thing as sugar, and there are occasional ones, and they are given some by the way during the festivals.

But now, this brother is digging out one by one, and some are more clever, and have already started calling out to his companions who are not outside...

When the other officials saw it, they thought they were caring people. It wasn't until Lin Yi said that this was Yun Yanhui, who was transferred from Kaifeng Mansion, and that he helped collect donations from other yamen, and they would stay here for half a year. It's Yunyan Hui!

Then came the second question: So how did the officer trick people here?

Their place is not just Qingshui Yamen...

Let's put it this way, many people would rather send their children to the monastery to be children!In that temple, there are pilgrims who donate money, and they have business, but the Salesian Bureau has no income.

You can't eat meat in the temple, so it seems that you can eat meat here.Poor, there are so many children, so many mouths, many of them are still growing, and they can eat so much that they all depend on the fixed amount of money and food allocated by the imperial court. Of course, they must be carefully calculated.

Even so, they are also luckier than many people.

Some families, after giving birth to "extra" children, don't even bother to take two steps to send them to other places, and bury them directly.

In such a place, it is not easy to make any political achievements. For a more responsible person like Lin Yi, he is dizzy just because of the affairs in the administration every day.

How could this local snake of Daxiangguo Temple and a ruthless character in Kaifeng Mansion think of coming here?Also help get so many things?

People who don't know much about Yunyan Hui have various guesses.

But soon, they understood...

Yun Yan replied: "Ashamed, ashamed, we will work together from now on. I brought some meat and vegetables from Kaifeng Mansion. Let's have a meal of meat together tonight!" These officials and nurses just watch but don't eat.

There was a pause, and then there was warm applause.

——Everyone: Because this is a good man!
