Chapter 283: Accepting a series of welfare tasks, preparing to build a children's welfare home.
Bai Mengran also learned from Kong Nishang that the common people even had the opportunity to directly sue the government!
In various regions, a system of rotating officials at fixed times each year is implemented, with each county as the unit.
Under the supervision and accompaniment of the prefect, the magistrate of each county would exchange places with the magistrate of the neighboring county for several days, specifically to collect public opinions and sentiments.
During this period, local residents could go to the county government office to petition, and they could freely express any grievances or suggestions, which the clerk would record.
To prevent officials from protecting each other, each county magistrate's performance evaluation was linked to the number of reports they collected from neighboring counties; the more reports they collected, the higher their ranking.
Moreover, a system of demoting or resigning officials based on their performance at the bottom of the rankings was implemented to ensure that officials could truly do practical things for the people.
In short, when people live in peace and prosperity and have a high happiness index, the social customs and national atmosphere will naturally be better.
Whenever she heard these things, Bai Mengran couldn't help but praise the current emperor, saying that he was truly a wise and capable ruler!
Dude, that's awesome!
It was precisely because of all these protections that Bai Mengran was able to have a smooth and worry-free business!
"Fifth Brother Tong, I'm thinking of taking on that project that costs five million to build a children's welfare facility, to provide a safe haven for those poor homeless children, as far as I can..."
Recalling her encounter with the Jiang siblings, Jiang Feng and Jiang Yu, who had wandered here when she first transmigrated, Bai Mengran was filled with emotion.
If it weren't for a chance encounter, the fate of the brother and sister would probably have been even more tragic.
Thinking that there might be many other helpless children like them, Bai Mengran felt that using 25 system coins to help these homeless children was a very worthwhile thing to do.
【Alright, host, since you're willing, I'll take on this series of tasks for you!】
The system fully respects the host's wishes, since these kinds of welfare tasks are not actually mandatory.
Some hosts are unwilling to complete such tasks, and the system will provide a way to skip the task by deducting a small amount of system currency or other equivalent compensation.
Seeing its host's kind heart and willingness to help, the system readily took on the role of her capable assistant, accepting all the tasks for her.
[Ding! You have a new "Benefit Task 1" (non-mandatory): Revenue has reached 500 million (condition met). Now you need to spend 25 to build a children's welfare home with a floor area of 3000 square meters (location to be determined), and hire a professional director (to be completed), and recruit ten volunteers (to be recruited).]
Task Rewards: A starting capital of 10 system coins will be provided to the initial care account; 20 AI-powered professional childcare workers will be provided; and all infrastructure and environmental facilities will be supplied free of charge.
[Ding! You have a new side quest 18: Select a site for the construction of a children's welfare home, sign a land lease or obtain a land deed, or negotiate with the government to apply for free land.]
Task Reward: Add a children's recreational and wellness playground to the top floor of the welfare home.
[Ding! You have a new side quest 19: Reach a cooperation agreement with the government to jointly discuss funding for a children's welfare home.]
The government verifies and admits orphans, abandoned infants, children in distress, abused children, and homeless children within the area to hospitals, and grants them land and shelter from the government.
Task Rewards: 500 shared single horses and 200 shared double horses, each equipped with a corresponding charging device.
[Ding! You have a new Side Quest 20: Hire a director for a children's welfare home and recruit ten volunteers. (You can hire locally or through the Talent System to recruit AI professionals.)]
Task Reward: Build more children's work areas and activate the children's welfare home's labor exchange system. After completing the corresponding simple tasks, labor points can be exchanged for system currency or in-game rewards.
"Holy crap! System, are you a mission ambassador? You've sent me so many missions all at once! Are missions on sale now, buy one get one free?"
Bai Mengran was stunned after hearing about this series of interconnected tasks.
She had the feeling that what was supposed to be a big task had been forcibly broken down into several smaller tasks by the system...
[Oh dear, host, this is a great deed that benefits the country and its people, worthy of being written about in great detail! It certainly won't be glossed over lightly; it needs to be divided into multiple tasks so you can reap generous rewards!]
"Fifth Brother, you're right! Who would complain about having too many missions? We understand the principle that the more the merrier..."
This wave of tasks gave Bai Mengran a new direction to strive for.
It looks like today will be another busy and fulfilling day; I'll have work to do soon.
She planned to wait until the opening of the new store at [Fairyland] was settled before going to the county government to find Magistrate Kong or Assistant Magistrate Shen to properly discuss the matter of the children's welfare home...
[Ding! A friendly reminder to the host: Your friend [Kong Nishang], whom you invited via the errand pigeon, has arrived in Wonderland. We can retrieve her real-time location at any time.]
"Wow~ That's impressive, my system! It even reminded me of such a detail!"
Bai Mengran was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't expected the system to be so meticulous, even noting the details of her friendships.
Of course! I've added special notes to the member information for everyone who has interacted with the host.
This way, the host can use facial recognition to know at any time whether they have entered Wonderland and their real-time location!
"Tong Baobao, you're so thoughtful! I love you so much, mua~"
After confessing her feelings to the system, Bai Mengran quickly found the "Friends" label at the top of the pop-up member list. The member's avatar was lit up, representing Kong Nishang, who was currently in the [Fairyland].
"Wow, the system even has such an intelligent person-finding function? That's so cool, I love it!"
Immediately, Bai Mengran excitedly clicked on Kong Nishang's profile picture, and a real-time location sharing popped up.
She looked up and saw that Kong Nishang was not far from the entrance, moving slowly.
Bai Mengran guessed that she was probably surrounded by tourists who had just arrived that day, so she quickly got up to greet her.
Bai Mengran waited for a moment after arriving at the convenience store.
The small dot representing Kong Nishang in the shared location was getting closer and closer to her, and they were about to overlap.
Sure enough, the next second, a small, round, bright red face emerged from the front of the crowd.
Whether it was from being squeezed or from the heat, as soon as Kong Nishang stepped out of the crowd, she stuck out her tongue and fanned her face with her hand.
"Yiyi, over here!" Bai Mengran called out to Kong Nishang, who was dozens of meters away.
Upon hearing this, Kong Nishang immediately looked up, her eyes lighting up instantly as she locked onto Bai Mengran's location like a radar.
Then, she rushed towards Bai Mengran like a whirlwind, her face beaming with excitement: "Sister Bai, what are you doing here? You weren't waiting for me, were you?"
