Princess Gu'an, Mrs. Du Changshi, Mrs. Cui Mingfu. The three women with the highest status in Yunzhou joined forces to take out their powder money to do such good deeds, which naturally attracted a lot of discussion among the people, but most people praised it. In today's era of underdeveloped medical conditions, even officials with court salaries died of illness, their wives and children may still end up helpless. As for ordinary families, there are more orphans. It is unrealistic to rely on working hard to make a living to help the poor. The government of the Tang Dynasty never had the function of helping the poor. On the contrary, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples sometimes have such kind behaviors in order to attract believers.

The top ladies of the Tang Dynasty might regularly give to the Buddhist temple to do some good deeds, but it is rare to do such practical things. Before Du Shiyi came back, Princess Gu'an and Wang Rong and Du Shisanniang had already chosen the place and purchased the mature fields that Peiyingtang could maintain, as well as all the furnishings and clothing, etc.

At the same time, Chen Baoer, through the name of the judge of the Yunzhou Xuanfu Department, brought Tang Zhen and Tang Xiu two former Xi Nu, together with the skilled officials and servants who were selected, gathered all the orphans in the city. Although the process was not so smooth, and there were even adults who had been accustomed to being accustomed to eating, under his strong suppression, the matter was still done.

On the day when Peiyingtang officially opened, the vast number of children, who were from five or six to teenagers, wearing gray robes, stood unevenly, and had many deep vigilance on their faces, and when they saw a boy who was a few years older than them climbing the platform, most of them were indifferent. Only a few of them were originally from a good family, but they lost their trust because their parents died. They looked on tiptoe with curious and hopeful eyes.

"You all should recognize me, and almost everyone I forcibly brought back from the street."

Knowing that these children are almost illiterate, Chen Baoer's opening remark was straightforward without a trace of literary tone. Sure enough, seeing some of them buzzing and talking, he smiled and raised his voice and said, "Some of you have been separated from your parents since childhood and will never meet again; some of you have both died and no one cares about them, and they survived alone; some of you have no idea who their parents are, and they have been wandering on the streets since they were sensible. Today, outside the yard, the plaque of Yunzhou Peiyingtang has been hung. You probably don't understand what it means, but I just want to ask you one thing, you want to fight with others for a whole life for a bite of food, fight with others when you are hungry, drink rainwater when you are thirsty, and leave it to fate if you are sick?"

These words are far more touching than those great principles. Almost as soon as Chen Baoer finished speaking, a sturdy boy replied loudly: "Don't you want others to eat well and dress well. If you live in a big house, we can only go hungry and freeze?"

Someone started to stare, and immediately another thin boy responded: "I have never seen my grandmother since I was a child. I heard that Yunzhou Dividing Land has just come here. Who knows that the person who has registered said, "I am not old enough and I will not give him a damn, I am already fifteen years old, why can't I?"

Du Shiyi, who was invisible, looked in the voice and saw the boy like a reed stick. Someone believed him when he was ten years old. How could anyone think he was fifteen?

Seeing more and more people joining the response, Chen Baoer suddenly shouted: "Do you want to eat meat when you are hungry, drink water when you are thirsty, and be able to cover a warm quilt when you go to bed, and have a roof covering the wind and rain on your head?"

"Think" this time, the answering sound was extremely uniform.

"Now, the Peiyingtang in Yunzhou will give you such opportunities, whether it is the Tang people, Xi people, or other people of all ethnic groups. As long as the orphans who are less than fifteen years old can have free food and accommodation in Peiyingtang in Yunzhou. Those who do not speak language will come to teach you language, and every afternoon, there will be various courses such as literacy, agricultural skills, martial arts, etc. As for the morning of every day, you need to live on your own and repay these food and accommodation. Du Changshi of Yunzhou said that if you have talent in academics, you will be sent to teach in the future; and those who are good at farming will be given priority to the distribution of fields and seeds of agricultural tools after they become archery and horse martial arts. After becoming archery, you can apply for the military. Yunzhong Guard will not only give corresponding preferential treatment to the military..."

Before he could finish his words, a woman's voice suddenly came: "That's a man, where are we?"

The person who spoke was a disheveled girl. At first glance, it was difficult to tell her age, nor could she see how she looked. However, her voice was still loud in the midst of many gazes: "What's the use of us girls learning those?"

"Who said it was useless?" With a clear voice, a figure jumped onto the platform lightly. The children in the audience were startled at first, and when they found that the visitor was a beautiful girl in red. The one who had just jumped up was a platform higher than them. Amid these amazement, Yue Wuniang slapped her hard several times, and then she said calmly, "Women can weave, farm, recite poems and essays, pull bows and shoot arrows, and gallop on the battlefield. Who said women are not as good as men? If you really have martial arts talent, I don't mind taking a few more disciples to play with it."

Yue Wuniang flipped her wrist and a silver light suddenly flew out of the air. She hit the branch of a big tree in the yard, and then flew backwards back into her hand. Seeing that many people were stuttering at the blow that was like a rabbit, she smiled and said, "I am taught by the famous sword dancer Gongsun, and I want to be your master very qualified."

At this moment, Wang Rong beside Du Shiyi finally couldn't help laughing: "Miss Yue's move, I don't know how many girls are going to be moved to become disciples."

"Not to mention those girls, when I saw Gongsun everyone's sword dance in Songyang Temple, I also wanted to ask for advice." Du Shisanniang remembered the old Dengfeng incident and showed a deep recollection on her face. "I just thought at that time that if I could have such skills, I would definitely be able to protect my brother and not let others bully us brother and sister again."

"I didn't expect that my brother would have no self-protection power back then." The Princess Gu'an smiled and looked at Du Shiyi, then narrowed her eyes and said, "However, when she was young, she was mostly like this. Even if she suffered a lot of harsh treatment and suffered a lot, she would often be able to hide in the quilt alone because she was unable to resist. Fortunately, we all encountered a turning point in the end. And these children who had been surviving in the sludge ditch on the streets all their lives also encountered a turning point."

Yue Wuniang's unique flying sword skills really made many girls look forward to it, and even the boys held their breath and dared not talk nonsense. Although Yue Wuniang suddenly came out and interrupted her words just now, Chen Baoer was not unhappy. Instead, he raised his voice and said: "So, regardless of gender, Yunzhou Peiyingtang will try his best to teach the skills required until he was fifteen years old. But if he does not seek motivation and only knows how to eat and sleep, he will not raise lazy people here. At that time, there will be Peiying Field Village, so that lazy people can relax their muscles and bones."

After presenting facts and reasoning, the children below finally understood what this place was, and some were happy and some were sad. Although some were happy that they finally had a place to live, some young people who were used to the kind of life on the street shouted in a little annoyed: "What if we don't want to stay in Peiyingtang?"

"Of course." Chen Baoer's voice suddenly became as cold as the bleak and cold wind. "It's just that the orphans who are not Dingkou are strictly prohibited from wandering on the streets in Yunzhou City. If they are not from the Peiying Hall, they will be expelled from the city immediately if they are captured. The guards at the city gate will also strengthen patrols in the future. Any orphans will be sent to Peiying Hall. If they are unwilling, they will be prohibited from entering Yunzhou City."

The meaning of the words made a few young men who were used to thieves and cheating into death. However, no one would expect to go against the government, especially the Du Changshi who was rumored to be able to beat the Turks and the horse thieves to the point of falling. In this unspeakable silence, a timid voice suddenly came out.

"Can you really teach reading and reading? If you learn well, you will really ask a famous teacher to teach you?"

This resonated with the young man who had just spoken out and questioned. He immediately asked loudly: "Yes, there is no such a good thing. How much does a book cost? Scholars are so expensive. How can we teach us poor and humble children? It would be nice not to spit at us. When my family had some spare money, my grandfather once took me to ask for enlightenment, but they just stayed in the door at all. It was obvious that my family had been farmers for generations."

"My family has been farmers who make a living for generations." Chen Baoer suddenly spoke, and saw that he looked at him with suspicion and disbelief. He smiled mockly, "If I hadn't met Du Changshi, I would have known a few words like you, and read a few books. I will farm for the rest of my life and never leave Shu. Du Changshi did not dislike me, a rural child, taught me to write step by step. He taught me classics and history every time he had free time, and taught me how to behave by words and deeds. This is how I am today. Although you are poor and humble, there is no difference from me back then. As long as you are not self-deprecating, you will naturally have your own future."

Seeing that the children who started to clamor or doubt became quiet, Du Shiyi finally laughed, and then smiled at Princess Gu'an and Wang Rong and Du Shisanniang, "You are really good people. No matter who you are looking for to do this, they are not more convincing than Baoer's experience. Now Yunzhou is no longer as embarrassed as before, and you have to pay more attention to the people's plans and livelihoods. Leaving these children on the streets will not only have no future, but will also become a hidden danger. If you take them into Peiyingtang for time, whether it is for farmers or for hundreds of workers, you can always support yourself and not be hungry or hunger."
