"A piece for you, a piece for you, and a piece for you too..."
On the streets crowded with refugees, Yunia walked around with a bag of bread in her arms. Whenever she saw a lonely child or pregnant woman, she would stop and take out a large piece of bread to share with them.
The white figure shuttled between the gaps. No refugees snatched the bread in her hands. Everyone looked at her quietly.
Everyone hopes to get more bread, fill their stomachs, and not have to worry about food for tomorrow, but no one resorts to violent actions. It's not that they can't or they don't dare, but the conscience in their hearts stops them.
Who awakened their conscience?
Maybe it’s the Church of Truth, maybe it’s Yunia, who is holy and has no dust on her face...
Even thieves who are sneaky all day long can't bear to ruin the scene in front of them.
Soon, there was only the last piece of bread left in Yunia's hand. She looked around, looking for other people who were lonely and unable to work.
A thin figure huddled in the corner caught her attention.
It was a girl with simple clothes and a dirty face. She looked fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing dirty clothes and had pigtails. She was holding half an uneaten potato tightly in her hand and staring blankly. The woman covered in cotton clothes in front of her had a gray complexion and a cold body. She had been dead for a long time.
A pair of beautiful little leather shoes appeared in her field of vision, and the white skirt caught the girl's attention. She raised her head and saw Yunia holding a piece of bread.
"for you."
Yunia stuffed the bread into her arms, looked at the woman's body and asked, "Is she a relative of yours?"
The girl nodded vaguely, "She is my sister..."
Yunia blinked, turned and ran back to Ma Wei, pulling him over: "Dad, her sister is dead."
Mawei looked at the corpse on the ground, then at the girl curled up in a ball, pondered for a moment, and called Christopher: "We have forgotten a very important thing. The issue of the body convergence of dead refugees must be taken seriously. "
Twenty million refugees have traveled long distances and are tired and sick. Even if there is enough food, people will die from diseases every day. This is a force majeure, and Ma Wei has no good solution.
When the wooden sheds are built and the blankets are distributed, the number of sick people will be reduced a lot, but the refugees who died before must also be properly resettled.
"Father, do you mean to hire more workers to bury the bodies together?" Christopher asked.
"We have no shortage of manpower now. We don't need to concentrate on processing. Let's bury them in the forest." Ma Wei said, "Let their relatives note the burial location so that they can come back and check in the future."
"Okay, I understand."
Christopher nodded, turned around and started to gather people. He had done something similar once yesterday, so he was familiar with it.
"Dad, what should she do?"
Yunia asked: "This seems to be her last relative..."
How many orphans are there in Tyumen City?
Without systematic statistics, Ma Wei did not know the specific number, but the number must not be too small.
Monasteries and churches generally provide relief to orphans, but there was no church in the Romanov Kingdom before. The government's approach was to send orphans to workhouses. But at this moment, the workhouses were already overcrowded and there was no spare space.
What can a little girl of fifteen or sixteen do?
Ma Wei thought for a moment, squatted in front of the girl, and asked softly: "What's your name?"
"Misha..."
"Can you sew?"
"I know a little bit, my mother taught me..."
"The Church of Truth is in need of tailors who can sew blankets. Are you willing to come?"
Last night, Dino said that since we have enough manpower and so many cats, why spend money on ready-made blankets?
It is better to collect some fur from cats and let workers make blankets, which can save a lot of money.
Mawei disagreed with his idea, because even if he killed all three thousand cats, he could only make a few blankets. Later, he learned that what Dino said was just angry words. A man spends a thousand rubles to be angry.
Compared with finished blankets, the price of raw materials is much cheaper. Dino went out early in the morning to find buyers and discuss raw material issues. When he came back, he would definitely need a lot of manpower to sew the blankets.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ma Wei also came up with a way to place orphans.
As for the orphans who cannot sew clothes, they can do other things, such as helping workers move things and hand them tools.
"Would you do so, Misha?"
Seeing that the girl lowered her head and said nothing, Ma Wei asked again.
"....Um."
"Very good. When we recruit people, remember to sign up. The church is in the middle of this street."
Ma Wei took off his coat, put it on the thinly-clad Misha, turned around and left.
After he left, Misha raised her head and looked straight at his retreating back.
........................................
At noon, the bread distribution was completed. Wenwen, Salina and others who went to other blocks to distribute bread came back, including the idle Edward, who was caught by Dino and could not stay out of the incident.
"Message!"
Ma Wei found Lai Wen who was drinking water and gave him a new task: "Go and buy some old newspapers. The more, the better."
"old newspaper?"
Putting down the kettle, Lai Wen asked in astonishment: "What do you want that thing for? To use the toilet?"
"There are Sudoku questions on it." Ma Wei picked up this morning's newspaper, turned to the middle page, pointed to the Sudoku column above and said, "As long as you successfully solve the Sudoku questions, you will be rewarded by the newspaper. You don't know ?"
"I know, I know..." The letter asked doubtfully: "Can anyone really fill in this thing? Boss, do you want to take a bunch of old newspapers, solve the Sudoku problems on them, and send them to the newspaper office in exchange for rewards?"
"...."
"It's exactly the opposite of what you said." Edward guessed what Mavey was thinking. "The priest probably wants to give the old newspapers to the refugees and let them solve the questions on them."
"ah?"
"Don't you understand yet?" Edward shook his head. "Refugees who can solve Sudoku puzzles must have smart brains. No matter how bad they are, they will be very sensitive to numbers. As long as they are screened twice or three times, they will not be able to solve it." Have you found the genius hidden among the crowd? The priest is looking for talents and making plans for the future..."
"oh!
! "
Lai Wen's eyes lit up: "What a wonderful idea!"
"There must be rewards to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people." Mawei nodded and said: "We can use bread and rubles as rewards to get everyone to participate, but the rewards cannot be too much, otherwise the workers will not be interested in working. ”
“What happens after we find the geniuses?” the source asked, “Where do we place them?”
"Aren't there many scientific researchers in Tyumen?"
Ma Wei grinned: "As long as we ask for the help of Her Highness Katerina, it will not be difficult to send these geniuses to study in the Academy of Sciences. The church needs time to grow, and the same..."
"Genius also takes time."
