Space Struggle After becoming a concubine, I just want to farm

Chapter 269 Ci'an
Regarding Concubine Wen going to Jiangnan to open a Jiangnan textile factory, there was a lot of discussion both inside and outside the palace.

However, Ruyi is well versed in the art of public opinion, and started criticizing as soon as the incident happened.In short, it's all good things to say now. Concubine Wen Gui is willing to go away for the sake of the people's livelihood;

Not to mention that every time the second princess entered the palace, she would feel sorry for her mother. As a result, even the queen herself felt uncomfortable, and she was a little blamed for being in the limelight of Concubine Xi and Concubine Wen.

On the other side, Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu also approached the door quietly.

Ruyi did not expect that her Xianfu Palace would become a popular place, and even Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu, who had always entertained themselves, came to visit.

"Nowadays, people's lives are getting better, but abandoned babies are still common. Especially girls. Although women's status has improved now, it's a pity that there are still stupid people who just want sons to carry on the family line and throw away girls at will." Concubine Shu said this with emotion. Come up.

Ruyi is a little confused. Are you here to have a heart-to-heart chat with yourself?
"Indeed, that's why Concubine Shu and I want to open a Ci'an Hall in the private sector to take in some unwanted babies." Concubine Rong saw that her sister was not on point, so she directly spoke on her behalf.

Ruyi listened but did not speak immediately. Do you want to build an ancient version of an orphanage?

"You also know that Concubine Shu and I are getting older, in our forties. I didn't dare to think about it before, but now I suddenly realize that women can also live for themselves. We both like children very much, so we want to help those who are abused. A baby abandoned by people." Concubine Rong also explained her original intention of doing this.

"I think it's good. I support it. But, sisters, have you ever thought about where the cost of Ci'an Hall will come from? How it will be run in the future? Do you have any specific plans?"

The idea of ​​Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu turning Ruyi into a strong woman in a second is indeed a good one. There are still many orphanages in modern times, which shows that it is also a social demand.However, you can’t just think about it, you have to come up with feasible plans.

"This... we both still have some respect for each other." Concubine Shu immediately said, as long as she can accomplish this, spending all the money is nothing.

"No, a Ci'an Hall cannot be maintained by oneself alone. Let me think about it first, and I will give you an answer in two days." Ruyi agreed. After all, this is a good thing, even if Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu are not here this time. He said that he would bring it up when the time comes.

On the same day, after the people left, Ruyi wrote a detailed proposal to Emperor Qinglong.Emperor Qinglong sighed after seeing it, but after he came down to court, he called the relevant adults for a small meeting.

"Your Majesty, this makes sense. Some children were abandoned by their parents, and some really have no relatives alive, but these children are also citizens of the Qing Kingdom. I second my opinion."

"I also agree to open Ci'an Hall, and it can be tried out in the capital. I hope that other provinces will also open it in the future."

"I agree that we can also teach some skills at Ci'an Hall, so that these children can settle down and live in peace in the future."

Emperor Qinglong raised his hand to signal everyone to stop the discussion: "Everyone knows this is a good thing, so let's talk about the cost of opening Ci'an Hall?"

"I believe that the Qing court can allocate funds."

“It’s okay to allocate appropriate funds, but it can’t all be funded by the court.”

"Why not?"

Looking at the people below, they started arguing again.

Emperor Qinglong spoke directly: "The Ci'an Hall in the capital is half funded by the imperial court, and the other half is funded by the textile factory in the capital. This is borne by the textile factory on its own initiative. In the future, other places can refer to it. The imperial court will bear part of it, and the other half will be borne by the local people." Donations from wealthy businessmen and big factories, we will think about this more carefully later.”

Just like that, Ci'an Hall in Beijing became very popular.

Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu were only responsible for the daily affairs of Ci'an Hall, but the specific financial aspects were left to Dongxue Ruyi.Dongxue has been with him for so many years, and now she will be released from the palace. On the one hand, she will have a job, and on the other hand, she can consider finding a man to marry.

With this arrangement, Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu were not dissatisfied at all, and were very happy because the emperor also relaxed the palace rules for leaving the palace.You only need to leave the palace between 7 and 9 o'clock in Chenshi and return to the palace between 15 and 17 o'clock in Shenshi.

The Ci'an Hall was not far from the palace, and the two of them often went out together to take care of the children. Such a wave of publicity attracted a wave of favor from the Qingguo royal family.

Regarding the matter of Ci'an Hall, Emperor Qinglong had asked the Queen before if he wanted her to take the lead, with Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu as assistants. Unfortunately, the Queen did not appreciate the good intention and refused directly.

Looking at the queen's stubborn look, Emperor Qinglong was a little worried that the queen had become as stubborn and stupid as before. He also specially asked the second princess to return to the palace to persuade her, hoping that the queen just didn't understand it for a while, or she just didn't understand Ci'antang. Not interested.
