This model was designed by Wu Huaiyu. Many of the Wu family's current industries basically have orphanages funded by themselves. They are raising and cultivating them in advance, which can also become a steady stream of supplementary strength in the future.

Even various farms have adopted some.

In fact, many noble families often do this kind of thing, but the biggest difference between the Wu family and them is that these children are adopted by the Wu family, not as tribesmen or slaves, but as good friends. When they grow up, they will at most need to do things for the Wu family.

Apprenticeships of three to five years,

After reaching the age, you can stay or leave as you wish.

To be honest, many managers of the Wu family were opposed to this idea at first. They thought that even if they were not treated as slaves, they should be given status and attached to the Wu family, instead of being raised and trained for many years by saying they could grow wings and fly.

Isn't it not cost-effective?

Some people think that in fact, the orphanage is very good if it can provide them with food and clothing, and can keep them fed and clothed. There is no need to teach them to read and write. After all, paper, ink, pen and inkstone are not cheap, and hiring a teacher is also expensive.

If they grow up and serve as apprentices for three years before leaving, they will lose all their money.

But Wu Huaiyu still insisted on this plan despite all the differences.

However, the knowledge taught in the orphanage is different from that in ordinary schools. There is no collection of classics and history taught here, and students are not required to be able to master the classics in the future. Instead, they only select some chapters from the collection of classics and history. The most important thing is to learn arithmetic.

, drawing, writing and other more practical and useful skills.

After all, these orphanages funded by the Wu family teach people how to make a living, rather than taking the imperial examination to become poets.

For example, the orphanage sponsored by Qianjintang and the textbooks for reading and studying are mainly medicinal materials and prescriptions.

Studying literature is mainly about literacy and writing. Studying arithmetic is mainly about calculation and accounting.

Learning to draw is mainly for learning to measure and draw.

There is also a compulsory course in each orphanage, which is abacus calculation. Compared with the abacus calculation used by people in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Huaiyu had already come up with abacus and abacus formula, and promoted their use in various shops and industries of the Wu family.

Compared with playing with chips and calculating, abacus is much more efficient.

As soon as this thing comes out, it will be eliminated immediately.

In these orphanages of the Wu family, abacus has been taught since childhood, and abacus has been taught to everyone since childhood.

They can read, write, and keep accounts. Wu Huaiyu dares to say that when these children leave to become apprentices at the age of twelve, they are already half-talented. In the future, whether they stay in the Wu family or go to make a living outside, they will be

It is to carry an iron rice bowl with you.

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish." Seeing that these orphans are growing up well, Wu Huaiyu is very pleased. "Before winter, remember to contact Qianjin Hall to give the children a physical examination."

Because of Wu Huaiyu's arrival, the Liyuan Orphanage had extra meals today. Huaiyu brought two fans of pork, stewed winter melon with pork bones, braised pork belly with potatoes, braised pig's feet with soybeans, and a braised lion's head.

Just like the Chinese New Year.

More than a hundred children, the oldest eight or nine years old and the youngest two or three years old, lined up with their own rice bowls. Usually the food in the orphanage is not so good. They can feed themselves three times a day and have food for every meal.

It’s very good. Only one meal a day is a bit meaty, and every three days there is a half-meat dish.

For these long-bodied children who are particularly good at eating, they always feel like they are not full.

Especially for meat and fish, I have an incomparable desire.

Today, Mr. Wu came and they were finally free to have a big meal.

The manager of the opera garden personally prepared the dishes and said, "Everyone would like to thank Mr. Wu, who is our reborn parent."

These children know how to be grateful. Before they came to the kindergarten, they had basically gone through some unforgettable difficult days. Usually the stewards and teachers in the kindergarten would often give lessons about remembering the bitter and thinking about the sweet, teaching them how to be grateful.

They were truly grateful to Wu Huaiyu,

After all, the garden often takes them outside to do activities, such as sweeping the streets, helping some lonely elderly people clean, and they will also see some poor beggars.

"Thank you Aye,"

"Thank you, yeah,"

The children lined up to get a meal. Every orphan who received the meal would bow to Wu Huaiyu and say thank you.

Wu Huaiyu confiscated any of them as adopted sons, but all the orphans in the garden called Wu Huaiyu daddy. Just as the steward said, Wu Huaiyu was their reborn parents and gave them a second life.

Huaiyu looked at these children and felt a little blocked.

There are many orphans in the world, but the Wu family can't raise many.

"Have you washed your hands? Xiongkuohai, remember to wash your hands before eating," Huaiyu patted an eight or nine-year-old child on the arm, "Go and eat. If you don't have enough, come back for more."

"Luo Cheng, why did you get a black bruise on your face and get into a fight with someone again?" Huaiyu pulled out a tall boy, "Didn't I tell you that when you enter the garden, everyone will be half-brothers?"

Brothers and sisters, we must be friendly to each other, and we must not show off our strength, let alone bully the weak.”

The boy named Luo Cheng lowered his head, "Aye, I was wrong, I don't dare to do it anymore,"

"Well, after dinner, you come to me and tell me what happened."

At this time, another almost older child came over and said, "Aye, it was me and Luo Cheng who fought. I know I was wrong. I was the one who started the fight. Please punish me."

Huaiyu looked at him, "You Junda, why do you always like to fight? Haven't you gotten rid of your bad temper after so long? If you do this again, I will send you away."

"Aye, I know I was wrong, don't abandon me and drive me away."
