662 Chapter 662-big day
“Lord ye, your method is really effective. Many of those abandoned children have been adopted in the past few days. The people who adopted them all have the decree written by you. With the promise from the government, they have no more worries and can adopt without worry. Lord’s action is a great merit. Now, more than 2900 of those documents have been sent out and more than 2900 abandoned children have been adopted. They can live now, aww.”
An official from the Yamen stood respectfully beside Xia ping ‘an and reported to him about the documents that Xia ping’ an had sent out.
Xia ping ‘an stood by the riverbank and looked at the riverbank that had just been ravaged by the flood a month ago. There were still some Raggedies. She turned her head and asked, ” more than 2900 documents have been sent out, which means that there are still more than 900 abandoned children who are unclaimed. How long can the grain in the ever peace Granary in the city last? ”
“Don’t worry, Lord. When those abandoned kids return to their hometowns and present the documents to us, everybody would know about your virtuous policies. I estimate that the remaining 900-odd abandoned kids would be collected by others in a few days. By then, they could survive on. As for the grains in Changqing plain, even if 3000 – 4000 more people were sent for relief, they could still stand for more than half a year. When the autumn harvest comes, they would be withered.”
Xia Pingan let out a long breath and nodded. that’s good. Those who adopt abandoned children must be from decent families. We can’t be careless about this. We can’t let those abandoned children fall into the fire pit again in the future and fall into the hands of evil people!
yes, as per your instructions, we’ve sent bailiffs to the villages to understand the situation of the families that adopted the abandoned children. Only good families can adopt, and only one can be adopted in a family. Unless those abandoned children are siblings and can adopt Yingluo together.
......
This realm Pearl was the ninth realm Pearl that Xia Pingan had fused with in the past twenty days. It was also the last one he would use before he fought the flute Dragon.
It had been more than 20 days since he had fused with Wang Weiyi’s realm Pearl. Xia Pingan had bought nine realm pearls in Dragon Horn city through various channels, secret streets, and auctions. Six of these nine realm pearls were divine power realm pearls, and the other three were spell realm pearls. Ye Mengde’s realm Pearl was also one of the spell realm pearls.
The protagonist of the Pearl in front of him was called Ye Mengde. His current identity was the Southern Song Dynasty’s pacifist of Jiangdong.
Xia ping ‘an had already stayed in this realm Pearl for more than a month. Previously, when he entered the realm Pearl, he had encountered a flood in the upper reaches of Jingxi. There were large numbers of dead people floating across the river every day. Some of them had starved to death, while others had drowned. It was so tragic that it was hard to look at them.
Xia Pingan’s task was to provide relief to the victims. However, there was a big problem after the flood, namely, many children were abandoned in the flood across Jiangdong River. Some of their parents were killed in the flood; some were abandoned by their families in the famine. After the flood, about 3000 – 4000 children were abandoned on the land under the jurisdiction of Xia Pingan.
In the past, these children had become orphans or abandoned because they had no parents by their side. Their status was equal to that of refugees and beggars. They could not even enjoy the relief from the local authorities “ever peace storehouses, because the targets of relief from the ever peace storehouses were only the local people. In this case, after the previous disasters, most of these children would starve to death because the authorities were too lazy to care about them. A few lucky ones would also become beggars and refugees, becoming homeless and homeless. He spent the rest of his life in misery.
The reason for this situation was not because the people were cold-blooded and did not want to take care of these children. It was because the people who wanted to take care of them were worried that after they adopted these abandoned children, their parents would take them back when they grew up. They would be raising children for others and might even get sued. Therefore, no one dared to adopt them.
In addition, the former lazy officials and indifferent government did not care much about the life and death of these abandoned children after the famine, so they allowed this situation to continue for years.
However, when ye Meng ruled Jiangdong, one of the policies she left behind was to find a way to survive for these orphans after the famine.
Ye Mengde had found this way after carefully reading through all the laws of the great song. There was a law in the great song that stated that parents were not allowed to come back to claim children abandoned by the famine.
Thus, Ye Mengde prepared a few thousand blank documents and wrote this law of the great song on the document. He stamped it with the official seal so that those families who were willing to come and adopt a child could take away such an official document. At the same time, they could also receive the child’s relief from the government. This prevented the child’s parents from coming back to ask for the child in the future.
Such a move immediately dispelled the worries of those ordinary families who wanted to claim their children. Almost all the abandoned children were adopted and survived. The tragedy after the famine was immediately reduced to the minimum.
......
the great song has long had laws to solve the problem of the abandoned and orphans after the famine. However, the lazy officials and cold-blooded officials were not familiar with the country’s laws and turned a blind eye to the abandoned and orphans. So, time and time again, the tragedies of the abandoned children starving to death and becoming beggars after the famine continued to play out.
When she arrived at the temporary orphanage and saw the children in the orphanage looking at her with fear and gratitude, Xia ping ‘an suddenly felt a sense of emotion that she had never felt before.
If those officials had put in a little more effort, Ye Mengde wouldn’t have had the chance to find a way out for these children in the end. Lazy and corrupt officials, all of them indulged in luxury. All their thoughts were on promotion and wealth, and they didn’t really care about the lives of the people at the bottom.
After every famine, there would be countless such children. Those lazy and corrupt officials could only watch these children starve to death or become beggars without bothering to think of a solution for them. No one would even do such a simple thing as flipping through the laws of the Imperial court.
Confucius once said that harsh governance was fiercer than a Tiger. Those cold-blooded, greedy, stupid, and incompetent lazy officials who created harsh governance could not defend against the enemy from the outside and could not calm the people from the inside. They were the true root of the disaster and cancer of the country and people.
......
Only five days later, under Xia Pingan’s supervision, all the abandoned children and orphans in the Jiang Dong orphan camp were adopted. No more orphans starved to death or became beggars. When the last abandoned child was taken away to find a new family, the world of the realm Pearl also shattered and completed the integration.
......
Xia Pingan only slowly opened his eyes after the effects of the divine power Infusion and purification had disappeared.
At this moment, the upper limit of the secret mandala’s divine power had become 9728 points. Compared to a month ago, he had gained a lot in Dragon Horn city. He had fused more than ten new realm beads in total. As for the money he had spent, hundreds of thousands of gold coins, it was not a big deal. The rent that the iron sword old man had given him was more than enough.
interesting, the spells provided by the realm Pearl are really strange. This Ye Mengde’s realm Pearl actually provided a spell that can make children listen to him. If a Summoner who knows this spell were to kidnap a child, no one would be able to stop him.
When Xia Pingan opened his eyes, he thought of boy Fusheng. He shook his head, got up, and moved his body around in the room. He began to form hand seals and slowly practiced his fist techniques. After practicing for a long time, his body started to sweat. Xia Pingan then stopped. He didn’t do anything but took off his clothes and soaked in a hot spring in the cave abode. He had a good sleep and changed his clothes. When he woke up the next day, he felt that his body had reached its peak. He looked at the time. After washing up, he put away Xia Lai Fu and the array board and walked out of the cave.
Yan Qi stood outside the cave dwelling, respectfully waiting for Xia Pingan to come out. Yan Qi actually didn’t wait here for too long, because he knew that Xia Pingan, who was in seclusion, was about to come out at this time today.
young master Mei, you’ve come out. Master has instructed that if young master Mei needs a carriage to boost your momentum, we can prepare it for you!
thank you, senior iron sword. There’s no need for the carriage. I’ll head over myself! Xia Pingan smiled as he spoke and walked down the mountain.
Today was the day he would compete with di Long, the divine Son of the DI family. Although the iron sword old man was kind, Xia ping ‘an couldn’t be insensible and deliberately drag tie Jianfeng and the iron sword old man into this.
As expected, when he heard Xia Pingan’s words, Yan Qi looked at Xia Pingan’s back as he left with confidence. There was a hint of respect in his eyes.
It was already sunny outside today. Dragon Horn city was still covered with white clouds. Such a weather was suitable for Zhang tie to be famous.
“The Son of God, Mei Zheng, the descendant of Mad God, has come out.”
“Mei Zheng, it’s Mei Zheng. He’s come out.”
“Di Long, the divine Son of the DI family, arrived at the thousand Army mountain a week ago, Wuwu!”
“There’s a good show to watch today, Yingluo.”
As soon as Xia Pingan left the iron sword peak, there were already thousands of people waiting at the entrance of the mountain. These Summoners knew that Xia Pingan lived at the iron sword peak, so they were all waiting for him at the exit.
As soon as Xia ping ‘an came out, he caused a sensation. Countless eyes turned to look at Xia ping’ an. To be honest, at this moment, Xia ping ‘an really felt like a superstar walking out of the airport and meeting fans waiting for him.
I’ll have to trouble everyone to wait for me here. Xia Pingan was neither arrogant nor impatient. Without saying anything, he cupped his hands to the summoners waiting outside the iron sword peak. Then, he rose into the air and flew towards the thousand Army mountain. The summoners who were waiting for him also flew up at the same time.
All of a sudden, the sky was filled with the figures of Summoners, which looked quite imposing.
