Chapter 135: Picking people

In the palace of the court

This is the residence of the eunuchs, and the miscellaneous things in the palace are gathered in this not too big palace, and eighty percent of the eunuchs and palace maids in the entire palace basically live here.

Entering the palace as a palace maid as a eunuch, this is also a helpless move, dying here for life, at the right age is to want to leave the palace, and suddenly found that there is no harbor outside the palace where they can stay at all, and finally choose to stay, and when they are old, a broken grass swept into the ground hastily.

Sitting on the square in the Yeting Palace, Li Shen moved his head slightly, feeling that his neck was a little uncomfortable, and said to Wu Meiniang, who was sitting next to him, "Help me rub my neck, it's a little uncomfortable." ”

"Why is your neck uncomfortable?"

"Who knows, I got up a little bit in the morning, and now I feel a little uncomfortable, I guess it's moved over and over, and it has become a little more powerful."

"It's just you."

Li Shen glared at her and said, "There's a lot of nonsense, do you think Lao Tzu thinks?" ”

Wu Meiniang pursed her lips slightly, stood up, stretched out her Qianqianyu hand and began to knead it, and said: "I forgot to say one thing, when will the furniture factory open, now I am not used to sleeping on that couch all day, it is too short." ”

"You look at it, let the people in the Ministry of Industry call a few carpenter masters, anyway, it's for home use, it doesn't take much, the furniture factory still counts, the profit of these things is too small, there are enough things all day, how can there be that time to toss those things."

"There are a lot of things, and I didn't see you busy that day."

"This is only temporary, do you think you can move if you want to, and you can do it without effort?" Li Shen said with a smile, followed by an "oops", and said, "You stinky, what are you doing?" ”

"Make your mouth unclean, and you don't know how to restrain yourself outside in broad daylight." Wu Meiniang said coquettishly.

"Hey, hey! It's that your mind is too impure and has nothing to do with being a husband. ”

"It's just that you have a lot to do."

One after another, the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace began to walk over to this side, all of them with puzzled faces, and some didn't quite understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned them, these elderly palace maids and eunuchs, to come over? In a few moments, the square was filled with all the palace maids and eunuchs.

"Your Highness, these are eunuchs and palace maids who are engaged in miscellaneous work in the palace at a certain age." Chen Sande, the father-in-law of the housekeeper of the Yeting Palace, said with a flattering smile on his face.

Li Shen nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and waved, and said to Wu Meiniang beside him, "This looks like there are more than a thousand people, right?" Why so many people? ”

"Of course, the eunuchs and palace maids of the previous dynasty add up to not so much, this is only a part, it is estimated that there are at least five or six thousand eunuchs and palace maids in the entire palace."

"It's a luxury." Li Shen smashed his tongue and said, and asked Chen Sande, "These people are all idle people?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, they are all some people who do sundries."

Li Shen nodded, looked at Wu Meiniang, and said: "It seems that we have to think of some ways to make money, it is a waste for so many people to be idle here, and when the time comes, not only can they solve their pension problems, but also be able to make a sum of money and reduce the expenses in the palace." What do you think would be better to do? ”

"The concubine usually doesn't care about these little things, and she didn't expect that there are so many people in the palace." Wu Meiniang said.

"Didn't you just say it was nothing?" Li Shen said angrily.

"The concubine body just knows, and besides, a few thousand people in this huge palace are not too many, scattered out, how many people can you see? Although the number of people in our Prince's Mansion is not large, there are also hundreds of people, do you usually see so many people? I mean, I didn't expect so many people to be free. ”

"Yes, yes, isn't it okay to be wrong, why is Lone found that Lone was talking to you, and you were impatient before you asked a few words?"

Wu Meiniang glanced at Li Shen and said lightly: "I'm used to it." ”

Li Shen smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

"Are you being sarcastic about me?"

Li Shen rolled his eyes a little speechlessly, stood up, and shouted to everyone: "Lone summoned you here today because I want to tell you something. ”

Looking at the scene without the slightest reaction, many people's eyes were... is like a living corpse, with blind eyes, Li Shen doesn't know how to describe it, saying that the walking dead is really a little bit alike.

Li Shen coughed slightly, and said, "If you are going to leave the palace in the future, please leave?" ”

Still didn't have the slightest reaction, just looked at Li Shen like this, making him completely speechless, and said to Chen Sande: "Father-in-law Chen, what's going on?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, if you have something to tell directly, these people basically have no family, otherwise the family is very poor, what are you going to do when you go back? I don't even have anything to eat, but I can still eat a full meal and dress warmly in the palace, which is much better than the days outside. Chen Gonggong said.

"Lady, what do you say?" Li Shen turned his head to Wu Meiniang and asked.

"Just pick some people, they're all hard-working people anyway." Wu Meiniang replied.

Li Shen nodded slightly, he didn't want to be exploited by the class, but the current social situation is like this, and he doesn't have any way, and said, "How many people do you think you need?" ”

"Fifty men and fifty women, some gravity work is still more powerful than men, so it's more appropriate for them to do it."

"A hundred? It's a lot. ”

"We can do the packaging ourselves, so that we can save dozens of times in a month."

Li Shen looked at Wu Meiniang a little speechlessly, and said: "It's just a few dozen times, this packaging is very annoying, and if you want to burn porcelain in the palace, I think it's better to forget it." ”

"Porcelain packaging can be customized from the outside in small quantities, and can be woven with bamboo, anyway, these people are idle, and it is better to be busy, and we are not given their wages, how to say that it is better than eating in this palace and waiting for death, and these people are not too old, save some money, if you want to leave the palace in the future, there is no need to be blinded by others."

Li Shen nodded and said, "Whatever you want, anyway, these people will have to use it sooner or later, so let's pay more if you have more." Facing Gonggong Chen, he said: "Select fifty men and fifty men and women, be quicker, and send them to the prince's mansion." ”
