Chapter 144: Took away a group of talents
Seeing that He Tu stammered, Liu Hua nodded seriously: "That's right, these silver tickets are all filial piety to the eldest brother, the younger brother came in a hurry, and he didn't bring much silver with him, the eldest brother took the five thousand taels of silver tickets first, and when the younger brother has the opportunity to return to the customs in the future, he must bring some good things to the eldest brother, and ensure that they are treasures that cannot be seen outside the customs." ”
"It's not...... I said, brother, isn't that a little bit more? He Tu took the silver ticket stuffed by Liu Hua in his hand, a little distracted, his annual salary was more than 100 taels of silver, as soon as Liu Hua made a move, it was equivalent to giving him half a lifetime of money, he felt like a dream.
In fact, Liu Hua didn't want to do this, he came to Shengjing this time with a total of 5,000 taels of silver tickets, this is the private money he saved, when he was ready to come here, he used it for his own expenses, but the last time he went to buy charcoal, he found that there was no ticket number for the silver tickets in Liaoshun Mansion, and the silver tickets were not circulated at all in Liaoshun Mansion.
Shengjing has a ticket number to undertake the deposit and exchange business, but it is too laborious to handle the business back and forth, and the procedures are quite troublesome, even if the silver is exchanged, it is extremely inconvenient to carry, but it is still a little dazzling, so Liu Hua gave these silver tickets to Na Hetu, all as public relations.
Besides, Liu Hua will have to stare at Tuo Heqi in the future, now he has offended Governor Liu's mansion to death, and the prefect's yamen can't borrow force at all, so he has to start from the military camp, although the supervision camp is stationed in Baishanling all the year round, but it is always an army system, although it can't help much now, but when will it come in handy.
He Tu excused himself and wanted to return half of the silver ticket to Liu Hua, but Liu Hua resolutely disagreed, seeing that he could not refuse, he Tu had to put the silver ticket in his arms, and after carrying the silver ticket, He Tu looked at Liu Hua again, just like looking at his long-lost brother, which is called a passion.
Before, it was Liu Hua who poured him wine and vegetables, but now it is reversed, and it has become him toasting Liu Hua to let the dishes, for a while, the laughter and laughter at the wine table have become a piece, and the wine has passed three rounds of dishes and five flavors, and after pushing the cup and changing the lamp, then He Tu and Liu Hua have become life and death brothers who do not seek to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to die on the same day and the same month in the same year.
When the drink was about to end, Liu Hua told Na He Tu the purpose of his coming, saying that he would hire a few maids in the supervision camp, and when he heard this, Na He Tu directly patted his chest and said that everything was wrapped up in him.
After lunch, Na Hetu personally rode a horse and took Liu Hua and Father Zhang to the area where the female dependents were held in the supervision camp, and after coming here, Na Hetu pointed to the female dependents who were busy and said to Liu Hua: "Brother, these female dependents have been working in the official eunuch's family before, and some of them are still the daughters of the official eunuch's family.
The head of the family committed a crime, and they were all implicated and sent here. Do you pick it yourself slowly and see who is pleasing to the eye? I'll give them to you when I go back, some of them can be literate and martial, some are full of poetry and books, and some are knitting women, so they can serve their younger siblings well. ”
After Liu Hua thanked Nahetu, he rode his horse and walked a few steps forward, and opposite him, there was a square the size of a football field, where about a hundred women were squatting and washing clothes, and these women had a clear division of labor, some were responsible for carrying water, some were responsible for scrubbing, and some were responsible for rinsing.
The environment here is already cold, and many women often soak their hands in cold water, and their hands are frozen and rotten, but even so, they still insist on doing laundry, because if they don't do the work today, they will be punished by the sisters of the same class.
In the empty room on the other side, there were also many women who were busy, and I saw them standing in the room bending over to sew cotton clothes, these women were all wrapped in strips of cloth on their fingers, and it seemed that when they were sewing cotton clothes, they pricked their hands, and over the years, all ten of their fingers had been injured.
While Liu Hua was observing these women, Na Hetu flicked his whip, and then spoke: "Listen, everyone, now all stop what they are doing and stand in front, your good luck has come, my brother is here to hire Yahuan, if you can be hired, then you don't have to suffer from here." ”
After hearing Na Hetu's words, those women were stunned for a moment, and then they all stopped what they were doing, and walked neatly to the front of the square, looking at Liu Hua in front of them, these women showed a hopeful expression on their faces, hoping that they could be picked away.
After seeing the expressions of these women in his eyes, Liu Hua suddenly felt compassion, and he wanted to save all these women, but he knew that this was impossible, and now he only had to choose a few more women, and Liu Hua began to pick people with the psychology of being able to save one in his arms.
Liu Hua looked at the hundreds of women in front of him and asked loudly, "Which of you knows how to do laundry and cook?" After asking, he saw that all the women in the scene raised their hands, and then he asked, "Who can knit women's red and sew clothes?" At this time, some of the women put their hands down, and then he asked, "Who can write, read, and know poetry and songs?" After hearing this question, most of the women put their hands down, and only a few dozen women were still raising their hands.
Seeing this situation, Liu Hua came to those women, looked at them, and found that these women were all in their twenties, tall and beautiful, and at this moment, they were looking at Liu Hua with longing in their eyes.
After getting off the horse, Liu Hua looked at the woman in front of him, and then sighed: "You all know how to knit women, you can also read and write, know poetry and songs, presumably you were all beautiful before, I wanted to rescue you all back to my hometown, but I don't have the ability now, I can only help a small number of people escape from this sea of suffering."
Do you have Yangzhou people? Are you? What is your name? Zhang Shanshan, say a few words of Yangzhou dialect, okay, you have been chosen, go and wait in the back. Do any of you manage the accounts? Will you? What is your name? Li Fei'er, okay, you've been chosen, go to the back. Do any of you know how to run a business? You know? What is your name? Zhao Na? Congratulations, you've been selected as ......"
In this way, Liu Hua selected ten women who were good at various fields in a row, and after selecting the tenth woman, he ended the selection, and when he saw that Liu Hua's selection was over, a trace of disappointment flashed on the faces of many women.
The women who were selected were excited and worried, excited that they could finally leave this ghost place, worried that they didn't know Liu Hua's personality and temper, and they didn't know how Liu Hua would treat them after hiring them?
Just when Liu Hua turned around and went back, he seemed to think of something? Then he turned back to look at the disappointed women: "Do any of you know martial arts or medicine?" ”
After hearing this, one of the girls raised her hand, and the girl replied playfully: "Lord Qiyu, my name is Wen Ting, I have been practicing martial arts from the Wudang School since I was a child, and I am good at light skills and swordsmanship, but I don't know the poetry and songs, I don't know if Fu meets your conditions?" ”
After hearing this, Liu Hua's eyes lit up, and then he smiled kindly: "Of course you do, you were also selected." After saying this, Liu Hua saw that he could no longer choose talents, so he led the women towards Nahetu. rs
