Chapter 36 Recruiting Troops with High Remuneration
Although I don't know what the little lady is going to do, after seeing her methods, everyone has no doubts about any of her actions.
Everyone broke the jar and thought: I can't guess it anyway, and I can't stop it if I guess it, just obey.
Speaking of which this feeling seems familiar, it wasn't until they saw Cui Fuyin that they suddenly realized that this ...... Isn't that Cui Fuyin's attitude towards his master?
If you can't beat it, join it......
Seven days later, Li Yewu convened a meeting of the people in the house again.
Among them, it is particularly emphasized that all the miscellaneous servants must be present at the meeting, and no one is allowed to be absent.
The miscellaneous servants complained bitterly, after all, bandits only appeared in the miscellaneous service class not long ago, and after that, the palace of the king of the king guarded them like thieves.
Where to go and what to do, they were repeatedly interrogated, and the old housekeeper would come to admonish them every once in a while to prevent them from having any more different hearts.
And now, even the princess has to give them a routine lecture.
Everyone reluctantly came to the hall to prepare for the training, but the content of the meeting was very different from what they imagined.
Li Yewu's first sentence was: "Are there still people in your family?" ”
"Uh......" The miscellaneous servants glanced at each other curtly, and for a moment they couldn't figure out what the princess was going to do, so they didn't dare to answer easily.
"The little lady asked, how did you bother." Boss Zicui frowned dissatisfiedly: "It's not that the Nine Clans are afraid of anything." ”
"......" everyone, who was not afraid, was suddenly scared when he said this.
"Don't worry, it's a good thing." Li Yewu smiled and reassured.
Only then did everyone bow again and again: "That...... Back to the princess, my parents are still alive at home, and there are three brothers and me. ”
"The youngest is also alive with his parents, and there are four brothers."
"The three younger brothers, their parents are gone, but their grandparents are still ......"
Li Yewu nodded with satisfaction, it seems that it was indeed a multi-population family in ancient times.
The total family size of this miscellaneous servant is nearly a hundred, and it is a very good new force.
"I took a look at your deed of sale, except for a few from the slums, the rest are all from the surrounding counties?"
"Yes."
Speaking of which, in addition to the main city of Taiqi City, there are four counties in Taiqi Prefecture.
Of the total population of 1.2 million, 800,000 displaced people have fled to the refugee slums in the main city, and the population of the remaining four counties is less than 300,000.
However, these 300,000 people continued the primitive way of farming, and the family's fields were constantly cultivated, and the extra brothers and sisters would let them go to the provincial capital to find a living.
Many of the handymen here went to work in the city in this way.
Li Yewu nodded: "I am now going to build a house on the outskirts of the city, you can ask if anyone in the family wants to do this work, the number of people is not limited, the treatment is preferential, 200 wen a day, three meals are included, the working hours are about 1-3 months, and you can also resist forced labor." ”
Not to mention the miscellaneous servants, even the entourage's eyes widened.
The little lady is going to build a house in the suburbs?
And also 200 working hours a day?
You must know that even the miscellaneous servants who work in the palace of the king are only 1,000 wen a month, and they can earn a month's money in 5 days when they go to the construction site!
A certain number of full months is 6 taels of silver! Three months is 18 taels!
That's a very, very, very lot of money, and most importantly, it can offset the conscription!
If all the strong laborers of the family are dispatched...... You won't have to worry about paying taxes this year!
For a moment, the eyes of the miscellaneous servants were full of excitement.
"Really, ma'am?"
"Why are you lying to you, I'll give you three days off now, and you can go home and find someone, whether it's your family or the next village in the same village, as long as you want to make money, as long as you can build a house, come over."
Li Yewu waved his hand, and everyone actively retired.
When the miscellaneous servants left, the old housekeeper and the entourage asked suspiciously: "Madam, although the palace is surrounded by walls, it is not impossible to live, and it is quite comfortable to buy some furniture, it is not good for you to change to the outskirts of the city, after all, there is no security outside the city." ”
"Speaking of which, I just want to talk to Fu Yin, let's go over together."
Li Yewu was not in a hurry to answer, but put forward new requirements.
???
The old butler looked confused, but in order to solve the curiosity in his heart, he could only cooperate to keep up.
At this time, Cui Fuyin was packing up his things in the yard, and he couldn't help but feel sorry when he heard that Li Yewu was coming to visit again.
Speaking of which, that day he unkindly put the blame on the palace of the king, he just wanted to use a delaying tactic, who would have thought that someone would really run to the gate of the palace so radically.
It is said that the little lady also killed more than a dozen people.
Although the Son of Heaven committed the same crime as the common people, it was the common people who attacked the palace first, and the law of Great Chu "Whoever violates the majesty of the heavenly family will be killed."
Moreover, even if you want to deal with it, you must first have a report.
But seven or eight days have passed since the incident, and none of the victims' families have come, which shows that everyone knows the consequences of rushing to the door and thinks they are unlucky.
So Cui Fuyin shouldn't know.
Of course, he would never admit that it was because he was in trouble, so he was weak and deliberately ignored.
However, there is one thing to say, although he is not kind first, it is indeed hateful for Li Yewu to cut first and then play last.
She posted a notice without consulting him, saying that she would not pay the next month's benefits after the payment.
Although she is the wife of the city lord, she can do whatever she likes.
However, the welfare of 800,000 people will be canceled if it is canceled, and Dachu must not be in chaos.
Just because there's no movement for a while doesn't mean that the change will go smoothly.
This is equivalent to the calm before the storm, the darkest night before dawn.
When these 800,000 people eat all the things they have hoarded over the years, they will immediately riot.
Therefore, in order for him to return to his hometown smoothly, Cui Fuyin decided to find a way out.
Before the chaos in Taiqi City, he must leave here, no matter what excuse he uses, he can't stay anyway.
In the past few days, Cui Fuyin has been counting the treasures in the yard, of course, there is nothing valuable, after all, his great ambition is not in the official career, and he was assigned to Taiqi City and was not ...... No, it's good not to be squeezed dry by bandits, let alone save anything.
There was no money, but there were a lot of famous flowers and plants in the courtyard, which he found in the mountains and jungles around Taiqi City.
How do you get these things away......
Cui Fu Yin tidied up more and more headaches, this one is reluctant, and that one can't be put down......
At this time, Li Yewu came to the door.
Cui Fuyin hurriedly asked people to leave her in the front hall, and then tidied up her clothes and went out.
"I don't know if my wife is visiting today, and I am rude and rude."
"Okay, let's not beat around the bush, I want to build a house in the suburbs, and I would like to ask Lord Fu Yin for help."
“?” Cui Fuyin looked confused: "Gai...... Building a house? I don't know where the little lady plans to build it. ”
"Near 60,000 acres of fertile land in the eastern suburbs."
"These fertile fields are at the disposal of the little lady, you can just build them directly, and you don't need to ask the government for approval."
"No, I want you to give each county a paid conscription order."
