Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Generally speaking, parents love their children. But sometimes, this matter may not be so absolute.

Why didn't the parents of these children come to Yamen to find their missing children, why didn't they bring them back? This is a difficult question. Thinking about it, it will only make people feel chilling.

Li Chengqian had a hard time thinking about how to deal with these children. The rules of the palace are strict, it is impossible to let these children of unknown origin enter the palace. Moreover, even if they can enter the palace, what can they do? Men become servants and women become maids? Then they might as well just stay in the dental clinic, so as to keep their bodies intact.

Li Chengqian, who couldn't think of a way, had to turn to Li Xin for help.

Li Xin didn't mind taking these children into the palace. Although it is said that there is no need for so many servants in the palace, to be honest, with his current financial resources, it is nothing to raise a few more mouths. Before he agreed to take the kids, though, he had a better idea.

Li Chengqian sat in the living room making tea in casual clothes. His guards stood full in the courtyard.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Didn't you just come here, as for such a big battle?"

Li Chengqian said: "There is no way. The queen mother is worried and insists on me to bring it."

Well, Empress Changsun is indeed a caring person.

"Let's get down to business. Those children, Brother Xin, teach me quickly, what should I do?" Li Chengqian asked with a headache.

Li Xin took a sip from the tea bowl and said, "I have an idea. Maybe we can set up an orphanage to adopt these children, and let them fend for themselves when they grow up."

Li Chengqian had a strange expression on his face. He said: "It's not impossible to set up a special orphanage. But, just for twenty or so children. As for making things so complicated?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "Who said it was only for these twenty children?"

"Then what?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Oh." Li Xin sighed, and said, "Why don't you say that you, the prince, don't go out? Have you ever walked around the streets and alleys of the capital to see how many displaced and homeless children there are?"

Li Chengqian was at a loss for words for a while, unable to speak.

Li Xin continued: "Our Tang Dynasty has never had a smooth sailing time. Today's situation is better. How many people died of wars and droughts in the past few years? How many homeless and orphans were left behind? I estimate that there are nearly a thousand people in Chang'an city alone. You know, there is not only Chang'an in the world. In the entire Tang Dynasty, you can imagine how many such children there are. Don't His Highness plan to take care of it?"

Li Chengqian said with a wry smile: "Of course these children are very pitiful. But if I ask you to say that, it is not a trivial matter. Even if it is just to build an orphanage in Chang'an City, it is not a fortune to maintain its operation." It’s a small amount. The national treasury is not well-off now. If we build orphanages all over the country according to what you said, then the emperor will definitely not agree.”

Although Li Chengqian didn't say it clearly, Li Xin can fully guess the reason why the national treasury is not well-why? Because His Majesty Li Er is secretly preparing for the battle, which one is more fuel-efficient, food, weapons, and horses?

However, after hearing Li Chengqian's words, Li Xin was not disappointed. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and asked, "When did I say that the court would pay for it?"
