This time, the Emperor did not refuse. He sighed and said, “The soldiers have done their best for Great Wei. I must ensure that their families are safe. Qingqing, I will leave this matter to you. I will order people from the Ministry of Revenue to assist you. If you have any requests, you can tell them.”

“Yes,” Jian Qingqing replied respectfully.

These few years, although Jian Qingqing was not in the officialdom, she would always help the Emperor with some matters, so those officials had long been used to Jian Qingqing interfering in the court.

With the Emperor’s approval, the construction of the charity hall was carried out in full swing.

The charity hall in the capital was a piece of land specially approved by the emperor in the suburbs. It occupied a large area.

Hearing that they were going to build a charity hall, many people in the capital were very enthusiastic to help build it. Jian Qingqing readily agreed.

Although they did not want to be paid, she still asked the people from the Ministry of Revenue to make good food for them to eat as a reward.

With the help of a large number of enthusiastic people, the charity hall was built very quickly. Jian Qingqing took Doudou to see the progress of the construction every day and asked gently, “Doudou, this will be your home in the future. There will be many friends like you inside, and there will also be old grandparents. Are you looking forward to it?”

Doudou’s eyes were sparkling. He stared at the building in front of him and nodded vigorously. “I like it!”

With the help of everyone, the charity hall was completed in half a month. The furniture inside was also made by the craftsmen for free. The Ministry of Works only needed to pay for the materials.

The children’s bed was made into the type that allowed four people to live in each room. This way, they could save space.

It was said that this charity hall was built for children and lonely old people. From the first day, those children who often wandered and begged began to come here excitedly to ‘supervise’.

At first, they did not believe that there was such a good thing, but Jian Qingqing assured them, “Don’t worry, His Majesty has personally agreed to this matter. All children without families can live here. From now on, everyone is a family. From today onwards, you can come here to register. After the construction is completed, you can move in according to the list.”

With Jian Qingqing’s guarantee, the group of children really believed that they would have a family in the future. They all exclaimed.

They trusted Jian Qingqing very much. Without a doubt, they were able to survive in the Capital after they had high-yield grain. Otherwise, they would have starved to death after a few days of begging.

After the adults were full, they began to be generous to them. Begging could always get them some food.

Not to mention that although Jian Qingqing did not show her face often, they had eyes and ears everywhere they begged, so they were extremely clear about what kind of person Jian Qingqing was.

Princess Ding’an was the kindest, and it was said that she was the one who had brought up the idea of establishing the charity hall.

On the day the charity hall was built, a group of children gathered outside the charity hall early in the morning. Although their clothes were tattered, their eyes were shining with hope.

Jian Qingqing did a quick count. Currently, there were about 300 children gathered here. In a few more days, there might be more.

She first took out some steamed buns and comforted them. “Don’t be in a hurry. Eat something first. It’s not ready inside yet. When it’s ready, we’ll definitely let you in as soon as possible.”

The children’s eyes were immediately attracted by the breakfast. Although they were hungry, they kept swallowing their saliva..
