Chapter 300: Quickly Choosing a Site for a Children's Welfare Home in Minutes
Soon, Lord Shen and Master Xiao arrived upon hearing the news.
After Magistrate Kong explained the situation to them in general terms, Bai Mengran dictated the details, which were then recorded by Clerk Xiao, and he carefully explained all the matters that required the government's intervention.
In particular, it is necessary to quickly determine how many children in the surrounding area urgently need to be adopted, and to have them temporarily taken in by the government so that they can be directly sent to welfare institutions later.
Although the three of them are not good at devising strategies, their execution ability is top-notch.
As soon as Bai Mengran finished speaking, Master Xiao had already finished recording. He immediately assigned his men to conduct a thorough search of different areas, and after detailing the matching circumstances, he instructed the constables to go and search for the orphaned children separately.
Not long after, the official in charge of site selection rushed over.
Upon hearing the purpose, he quickly retrieved a map of the entire Anzhou region. With his thorough knowledge of the town's geography, he began to carefully select a suitable site for building the welfare home.
Bai Mengran thought to herself, "I might as well wait here and wait for the result. At least I can determine the location first, which will be considered as completing a task."
So she wasn't in a hurry to return, and leisurely sat in the back room, drinking fruit tea.
They even conjured up several cups of pure tea and gave one to each of Magistrate Kong and his entourage.
While enjoying afternoon tea in the back room, Magistrate Shen and his advisor Xiao suddenly found their work increasingly enjoyable and motivating!
In their subsequent conversations, they would occasionally come up with some detailed ideas, which they would discuss in depth with Bai Mengran. They would also record these details in detail to prevent any oversights.
"My lords, I have selected five sites that are very suitable for the orphanage this young lady mentioned."
Two of them are located in Taoyuan Town, and the other three are located in Heshun Town, Qianfeng Town, and Shuixi Town, respectively.
However, given the rapid development of Taoyuan Town, I believe that locating the welfare home there would be the icing on the cake and make things even better!
These words truly resonated with everyone present.
As everyone knows, Peach Blossom Town is now famous thanks to the rise of [Fairyland], and the county government is also located in Peach Blossom Town, so naturally, everyone prefers Peach Blossom Town.
The same is true for Bai Mengran. This is where her career started and where her dream began, so she naturally has special feelings for this place.
She raised an eyebrow slightly, turned to Magistrate Kong who was sipping tea, and suggested:
"Compared to other towns, I prefer our Taoyuan Town."
Why don't we head over to those two potential sites in town now and take a look at them in person?
If you gentlemen are available, I will arrange for a car to come over right away.
Apart from Magistrate Kong, the people present were the same group who had accompanied Bai Mengran on a public carriage trip throughout the town to survey potential locations for shared bicycles.
Upon hearing that there was another car to ride in, the men's eyes lit up.
They had been longing for that high-speed carriage ride ever since they last experienced it.
As a result, everyone's eyes were focused on Magistrate Kong's face, as if waiting for him to make a decision.
Magistrate Kong was surprised by Bai's amazing efficiency; she acted immediately after saying she would.
In the past, this matter would have taken at least several days to make any progress.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast an admiring glance at Bai Mengran, and then nodded with high spirits in agreement.
The matter was of great importance, so the group decided to go together to offer their advice.
Seeing that there were exactly four of them, Bai Mengran asked the system to arrange a "flying car" for her, since she could ride alone anyway.
Less than a minute later, the system notified that the "flying taxi" was ready at the government office.
She quickly relayed the news to everyone and then said, "Let's set off immediately."
"I never expected Miss Bai to act so decisively; she is truly admirable!"
The clerk followed behind, praising him as he walked.
"Lord Kong, I will follow you four on this 'flying' journey later," Bai Mengran informed him.
"Alright, alright, everything will be as Miss Bai arranges."
So, after the four of them boarded the flying vehicles one by one, Bai Mengran leisurely released her own mount, "Little Koi, just follow the flying vehicle in front, let's go~"
As soon as the voice command was given, the koi carp beneath him immediately nodded obediently in response, then flashed with golden light and swished its dazzling tail, following closely behind...
Soon, the group arrived at the first relatively nearby location.
This is an open space not far from the town center. It used to be a temple, but it was moved away many years ago due to the lack of worshippers.
This area has never been developed or utilized because it was historically unpopular and no wealthy merchants were willing to pay for the land deeds, so it was temporarily placed under the administration of the government.
However, Bai Mengran didn't care about these issues at all.
She is doing charity work, not business, and she cares more about whether the surrounding environment is quiet and safe.
Clearly, this place fully meets both of these requirements.
There were hardly any shops around, and even pedestrians were extremely rare, as if it were a corner forgotten by the world.
In addition, there is a drill ground for officers and soldiers not far away, where yamen runners who are not on duty on weekdays will also gather for training.
It is very convenient to seek help if any problems arise.
Almost immediately after inspecting the site, Bai Mengran had a clear preference, feeling that it perfectly matched her expectations.
Moreover, this place is located in the town, and it is only four or five miles away from the [Fairyland].
At this point, she felt there was no need to waste any more time investigating the other potential locations.
So, Bai Mengran walked up to the adults and stated her opinion directly:
"Lord Kong, Lord Shen, in my humble opinion, this location perfectly suits the site requirements for a children's welfare home. Why not choose this place directly? What do you gentlemen think?"
In fact, after inspecting the vacant land, Magistrate Kong had already considered choosing this site, but he was still thinking of visiting several other places before making a final decision.
Unexpectedly, Miss Bai was so decisive and resolute, displaying the courage and boldness of someone in a position of power.
Thinking about it, Magistrate Kong couldn't help but shake his head inwardly. He was not as decisive as that young lady. No wonder her business had grown to such a scale.
Magistrate Kong looked up at Bai Mengran and nodded in praise, "Miss Bai is confident and decisive, I truly admire her."
"Then let's do as the young lady says and settle on this spot. What do you think, Lord Shen and Master Xiao?"
Neither of them had any objections.
Thus, only ten minutes had passed since they set off, and the group returned satisfied, having quickly finalized the location of the children's welfare home.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Mengran followed Magistrate Kong and others back to the county government office.
At the county government office, she successfully obtained the document drafted by Master Xiao on behalf of Magistrate Kong.
This document grants special approval for the use of this public land as the site for a children's welfare home, and clearly stipulates that Bai Mengran is fully responsible for the reasonable development and construction of related matters.
Upon receiving the approval document, Bai Mengran immediately heard the system's announcement that the mission was complete.
