The envoy of the West Wind Country did not have the slightest impact on the current Wang family, and they only listened to it for a while and threw it aside.

On the contrary, the old king was nervous, worried that it was the group of people who wanted to rob Ayu.

But over the years, the West Wind Country has only sent some things over, and has not left a word for Ayu, it seems that it has given up on her, making it impossible to understand what is going on over there.

Ayu is about to be twelve years old, and she is also ten years old on the surface, so Mrs. Wang is not afraid that Ayu wants to follow the people of the West Wind Country.

When the child is older, it is good to have her own ideas, and she also has the right to make independent choices, and she will not arrange it again.

After all, Ayu is different from her stupid sons, she has been carefully raised by herself, and she is taken care of by gods, so she will not do stupid things.

Ayu didn't know this, but she listened to Mrs. Wang briefly talk about the things in the village, and after learning that there was no big problem, she was relieved.

On the second day, Ayu asked Qin Huai something on the carriage on duty: "Brother Ayou, what do you need to cultivate your own people?" ”

Qin Huai: "Why did you suddenly ask about this, I didn't have enough manpower for you?" I'll give you some more. ”

He didn't ask Ayu why he suddenly needed manpower, he just thought in his heart that the group of people he had cultivated would have to be tested again to see if they could be used, and the people who were arranged for Ayu would never allow any backlash.

Ayu said: "No, the people you left for the family are enough, but I still want to cultivate some of my own people." I just don't know what process is needed and whether they are compliant. ”

"You are a townsman, according to the law, you can have a soldier's house, but the number of people is strictly controlled, and only no more than 20 people are allowed, of which 10 people are to go to the public account, and the remaining 10 people are given by themselves."

However, having said that, there are usually more than 20 people in the nursing homes of each noble, and there are fifty or sixty people in the family who have titles, but the number will not exceed 100 people, and if it exceeds it, it is a serious excess.

What's more, the soldiers' nursing home is different from ordinary family members, it takes money and energy to cultivate, and they are not ordinary subordinates, and ordinary trivial things will not call them, sometimes these people can be regarded as half masters, and the master family can't suppress it and may have an accident.

As long as it is not a family with a lot of enemies, it is not very useful on weekdays, so many families do not even arrange a serious nursing home, and let the small servants wear multiple hats.

"Oh, where do I need to find these people? Is it from the Selective Service Center, or from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? ”

Qin Huai: "This matter is complicated, if you are really interested, why don't we think about it in the long run, in order to receive the envoy of the West Wind Country recently, the Hanlin Academy has also transferred some people, and some affairs have been put on hold, I have free time, and I will take you to see it after the next duty." ”

"Okay."

Qin Huai is a person who says nothing, and he thought in his heart that before he went down to duty, he took the opportunity of being on duty in the Hanlin Academy to consult more relevant classics, found a lot of methods, and after sorting them into a book, he gave them to Ayu as soon as he was on duty.

"There are a lot of places to choose from." Ayu took the booklet that Qin Huai gave her, looked through the detailed introduction on it, and said, "I plan to cultivate a group of useful people for my family, the most important thing is loyalty, and ability is secondary, anyway, if the ability is insufficient, grandma can help." In this way, the family of the criminal minister is actually quite good, at least there is no need to teach the rules. Forget about the military service center, there are more soldiers and oil, and it is difficult to discipline, hey, let's find an official tooth to ask, they handle a lot of people, I think I will know more details! ”

The official teeth have been registered in the government office, and the people who handle them are also clean, and even the ancestors can be found out for several generations, and they are comfortable to use.

Ayu can also be regarded as a whim, I didn't think it before, but now that I think about it, I can't rely on Brother Ayou's red guards, whether they have other tasks for the time being, they always have their own talents.

She didn't mind, but the rest of the family didn't?

There are people who have Ayou's brother hiding at home all the year round, even if the Wang family is used to it, when the Wang family enters the officialdom in the future, it is inevitable that people will gossip in the back.

It's better to put an end to these in the first place.

The Wang family only needs loyal people, but they don't have to be born and die like the secret guards, as long as they can protect the Wang family at a critical time, they are qualified.

"Yuxiangjun, if you want to find me, you can be regarded as looking for the right one!" Tang Yuan is very capable, and soon found a person who claimed to be the first official of Wanning, he was about forty years old, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and looked very kind, "My old money is in charge, the customers can all say a good word, over the years, there is no case of saying that he wants to retire." ”

"Your surname is Qian, too?" Ayu thought it was funny, "I once knew a Chinese man who was also surnamed Qian, and he was as talkative as you. ”

"Yuxiangjun is from Wangbei County, right? If I'm not mistaken, the man you said should be my younger brother, named Qian Proud. Seeing Ayu nodded, Qian Guanya smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, "That's really the right person, he used to write to me, saying that Yuxiangjun's family was generous, and he took care of a lot of his business over the years, and now he is also mixed with the name of Guanya, and he is on an errand in Wangbei County!" ”

It's just that Qian Deyi was a middle-aged person in charge of real estate, and this Qian Guanya was in charge of oral circulation, which is considered a different position in the same department.

With this relationship, Qian Guanya's attitude became even more enthusiastic: "Yuxiangjun, if you need to be loyal, I suggest that you still find a family, if you have a family and children in the future, you will be better able to control it." In addition, most of the innocent slaves in the past, most of the good fists and feet have been picked away, if you have a sufficient budget, you are not afraid to wait for three or five years, it is best to use those fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, although they eat a lot now, and have little strength, but they are well cultivated, and over time, they can be more useful and loyal than those in their thirties. ”

Seeing Qin Huai nodding secretly, Ayu also nodded: "Okay, then take me to see people first." ”

"You are also in a hurry, not long ago, because of the accident in the quarry, many officials were held accountable, and some of them were exiled with their families, and the slaves under their names were also taken into use. A batch was selected yesterday, but there is still a batch of hairy boys left! ”

When he reached the realm, Ayu found that it was a place similar to a school field, and a strange sullen smell could be smelled from a long distance.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a small room, and there were many people locked up in it, and when I saw someone coming, many people lay down in front of the wooden fence, stretched out their hands and shouted: "Noble, noble, look at me, I may have done it!" ”

"Nobleman, use me, I don't want monthly money, just reward me with a mouthful of food!"

"Look at me, noble!"

There are also some people who are numb and crouch in the corner on their knees, regardless of what is happening around them.

"Who are they?" Ayu walked through a room and saw a group of young girls, their heads hanging and locked in one place, their eyes even more indifferent than the others.

"Where are they? It was a group of slave girls who did not deserve exile and could not act as official prostitutes. Qian Guanya explained, "Most of them are the maids of some official ladies, and some are the concubines of minor officials. But compared to innocent girls, these people are not very useful. ”

The young lady's maids are okay to say, but the nobles feel that these maids are more or less unlucky, and they can't be used to take them home to make rough maids, and it is a waste of money to make fine maids. Not to mention concubines, people who are more particular will not want this kind of concubine who is a stray official, and there are also people who are due to their decline.

"You guys are too ridiculous, don't those men also get convicted, and think they are unlucky?" Tang Yuan listened to Qian Guanya's simple suggestion, and was a little angry, "Such an idea is inevitably biased!" ”

Qian Guanya was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "What this girl said is that most of the people in the world think like this, and those of us who are officials can't always think about reversing the nobles' thoughts, so we can only obey it." If Xiangjun and the others don't mind, these maids are available, their rules and posture don't need to be carefully taught, not to mention being a first-class and second-class maid when they buy it home, even if they are just a third-class, rough maid, it is better than the people next to them. ”

The slaves of the criminal ministers are more difficult to sell than ordinary slaves, and those who have a skill have long been picked out before they are sent to the official teeth, and the rest are either the so-called bad luck, or for some other reason, it is always more troublesome.

Ayu: "I'll buy twenty people for the time being, both men and women, ten people each." According to what you said, the man will first find 8 teenagers, fifteen or sixteen years old, and two middle-aged and young people, who are in good health and do their duty. Women over the age of 20 are all maids, I just need to be a maid with peace of mind, our family does not raise concubines, it is to have other thoughts, do not want. The rest of the requirements are gone, you look at the selection of people, tomorrow to send to the Wang family of Sansi Street, if these people can be used, we will choose some more in the future. ”

As soon as he heard this, Qian Guanya knew that this deal was definitely not small.

I was secretly glad in my heart, but fortunately I didn't slack off when I didn't see that Yuxiangjun was a halfway sealed townshipman, and he said everything he could say in detail, so that there could be this good thing.

Immediately agreed: "It's easy to say, don't worry, I will definitely do things properly for you, if there is someone available in the future, let people give you priority to stay, if you want it then, I will let people send it to you again, you can see it?" ”

Ayu: "Yes." ”

"Okay, okay!"

Here, Qian Guanya happily sent the people away, and immediately set out to find those who met the requirements.

Fortunately, there are a lot of people, and half of them are women, so they can get together quickly. After the selection is done, they will be sent to the training immediately, and they will be warned to do what they should do, not to cause trouble for themselves, and then talk about the requirements of the master's family, and it will be done.

On the way back, Qin Huai asked, "Are you planning to train people for the Women's Academy?" ”

"Did you see that?" Ayu smiled with crooked eyebrows, "I have such a plan, anyway, I want to find someone who can use it, it is better to start training now, and wait until three or five years later, I can just start using it." ”
