Douluo: My mother is Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue is my sister

Chapter 111 If you don’t have money, crowdfund!

“Although the money to pay the nanny is enough, the children can’t always wear my and Xue’er’s old clothes. We have to buy them new clothes and new toys. But my monthly salary is not enough, so I have to find a way to get more money.

So I took the children to visit the elders and priests. The elders and priests saw that the children were cute and always gave them small gifts. Some of the stingy priests didn't want to give anything, so I just pointed at some objects and asked if I could give them to the children as gifts. I took the initiative to ask, and they felt embarrassed to refuse.

Some of these things are really liked by the children, so I can save money on their toys. As for the others, I give them directly to the nanny as a reward. The nanny will basically get a reward when she returns those things to the elders and the priests. If the elders and priests don’t want them, they can still be sold for a lot of money. In comparison, the nanny’s reward has not decreased, but the money I originally paid to the nanny can be saved to buy cloth for the children to make clothes.”

Everyone broke out in cold sweats after hearing what Xue Mo said. He was the eldest young master and also a child, so he could naturally say whatever he wanted. But they couldn't bear to hear things like "some priests are stingy"!

It was the bishop who had spoken before who changed the subject in time and said, "Young Master, do you mean that we can come up with some reasonable names to raise funds from other forces?"

Xue Mo couldn't help but look at the bishop again.

Talent! Although I have tried my best to lean towards the policy, it is still about raising children, but this person can understand what I mean instantly!
I'll have to find out his name and see if there's any chance to win him over. Although I haven't figured out what the point of winning him over is, it's always good to have more talented people around me.

After being reminded by the bishop, the minds of the others also became active.

The eldest young master said that if the child needs toys, he can save the money on toys by simply asking others for them. If he pays the nanny the extra things he gets, he can save the money on paying the nanny and buy clothes for the child.

Replace the eldest young master with the Spirit Hall, replace the small gifts for children with other names, such as repairing bridges and roads, renovating public buildings, hosting large-scale events and the like, replace the elders and priests with various city lords, nobles, major forces, etc., then can't it be applied here too?
The elders and priests who like children will give them small gifts. The projects set up by the Spirit Hall can also be beneficial to the fundraisers. They hope to see things done and will of course donate voluntarily.

As for those who are stingy, will they not donate when everyone else has donated? Even if there are really people who are so shameless that they don’t donate when everyone else has donated, and continue to learn from the young master, when the Spirit Hall takes the initiative to raise funds, will they dare not pay?
Moreover, unlike the eldest young master, those stingy priests may really dislike children, and they will not get any benefits from giving things to children. However, if they find a good reason to raise funds, whether it is to build roads or renovate buildings, it will benefit those people to a certain extent. There will not be a situation where those priests get nothing and only lose money. Afterwards, they may even have to thank the Spirit Hall.

As for how to deal with the donations raised, that is the Spirit Hall's own business. As long as things are done, some of the expenses needed to maintain the prestige of the Spirit Hall can be saved. If there is surplus money, it can be used for other expenses. If there is really no other place to spend money, it would be good to increase their "salary" a bit!

The young master can actually come up with such a good idea, he is so talented!
However, they were praising too early. Xue Mo continued, "After doing these two things, I was actually able to support two children, but then I met Qin Ming. Qin Ming didn't need me to support him because he was recommended by the great priest, and all his tuition fees were waived. In addition, he didn't have much expenses and was a genius. The scholarship alone was enough for his food and clothing in the academy. Except for the money I gave him for food at the beginning, he never used a single copper soul coin from me.

But because of Qin Ming, my pressure of raising children has been reduced a lot. Qin Ming's scholarship and the money he saved from working part-time are all saved. He uses this money to buy gifts for me and the children every time he comes back during the holidays. When he is free to spend time with the children during the holidays, if the children need money, he often pays for it out of his own wallet. With Qin Ming's help, I can save a lot of money on monthly payments. This is the third method I want to propose - if the children can't repay me when they are young, then when they grow up, they will be able to help me raise their younger brothers and sisters. "

Perhaps the first two methods were so valuable that everyone had too high expectations of Xue Mo. When they heard that the third method proposed by Xue Mo was so mediocre, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Seeing that no one reacted, Xue Mo knew the reason, but still pretended to be puzzled and asked: "What's wrong? Is this method not good? With Qin Ming's help, I really saved a lot of trouble!"

A bishop smiled bitterly and explained, "Young Master, we understand what you mean. You probably want those soul masters who have received subsidies from the Spirit Hall and have been trained by the Spirit Hall to give back to our Spirit Hall after they grow up. Your idea is good, and this is indeed the result that the Spirit Hall has always wanted to see, but the actual situation is not as simple as you think.

Indeed, many of the soul masters who received subsidies from the Spirit Hall later joined the Spirit Hall and worked for it. There were also some who, out of gratitude for the Spirit Hall's kindness, would often help the Spirit Hall without any compensation, doing small things within their capacity or donating some money and materials, etc., but these were only a minority after all.

Perhaps it was because the Spirit Hall's policy of providing subsidies to civilian spirit masters had lasted for too long, and many spirit masters had taken the Spirit Hall's contributions for granted. Most spirit masters had spirit powers exceeding that of Soul Lords, and after they no longer received subsidies, the only relationship between them and the Spirit Hall was simply their names in the Spirit Hall's files.

They will have their own lives. Some will work for the two empires, some will join other forces, and some will live their own lives and have nothing to do with the Spirit Hall. This situation has lasted for hundreds of years. If they are suddenly forced to repay the Spirit Hall, they will not be willing. "

Xue Mo pretended to be puzzled and said, "I helped Qin Ming go to school and raised him for only a month or two, but he helped me raise Xie Yue and Hu Liena, and the Spirit Hall raised other spirit masters. Why don't other spirit masters help the Spirit Hall, but instead help the two empires and other forces?"

Everyone smiled bitterly upon hearing this, thinking: "The young master is still a child after all, and his understanding of human nature is still not deep enough!"

However, some talented people do not need too much guidance from Xue Mo, they can understand the secrets from it on their own.

"Wait a minute! Your Holiness, colleagues, why should the children raised by our Spirit Hall serve other forces? This issue is indeed worth discussing!"
