Chapter 689 Picking people

The arrival of the envoy from the West Wind Kingdom did not have the slightest influence on the current royal family, and they only listened to it once, then threw it aside.

Instead, the old Wang got a little nervous, worried that it was the group of people who came to **** Ayu.

But these years, Xifeng Country only sent some things over, and never left a single word for Ayu. It seemed as if they had given up on her, making it hard to figure out what they were thinking.

Ayu will soon be twelve years old, and she will be ten years old on the surface, so Mrs. Wang is not afraid that Ayu wants to follow the Xifeng people.

It is a good thing for a child to have her own ideas when she grows up, and she also has the right to make independent choices. She will not make arrangements anymore.

After all, Ayu is different from her silly sons. She was carefully raised by herself, and she is guarded by gods, so she will not do stupid things.

Ayu didn't know about this, but she just listened to Mrs. Wang's simple talk about what happened in the village, and she was relieved when she learned that there was nothing serious.

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

Qin Huai: "Why do you suddenly ask this? Is it because I don't have enough manpower for you? I'll send you some more."

He didn’t ask why Ah Yu suddenly needed manpower, he just thought in his heart that the group of people he cultivated would have to be tested again to see if they could be used, and the people assigned to Ah Yu must never allow any rebellion.

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

"You are a township lord. According to the law, you can have soldiers and guards, but the number of people is strictly controlled. Only no more than 20 people are allowed. Among them, 10 people's salaries are paid by the public account, and the remaining 10 people are paid by themselves."

However, having said that, the nursing homes of various nobles usually have more than 20 people. There are also fifty or sixty people who have a title in the family, but the number will not exceed a hundred. If it exceeds, it is a serious overstep.

What's more, soldiers and guards are different from ordinary servants. It takes a lot of money and energy to train them, and they are not ordinary servants, and they don't order them for ordinary trivial matters. Sometimes these people can be regarded as half masters. If you can't hold it down, something may happen.

As long as it is not a family with many enemies, it is not very useful in daily life, so many families do not even arrange a serious nursing home, but let the servants do multiple jobs.

"Oh, then where do I need to find these people? Is it from the military service station or the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Qin Huai: "This matter is complicated. If you are really interested, why don't we discuss it in a long-term way. Recently, in order to receive the envoy from the West Wind Kingdom, the Imperial Academy has also transferred some staff, and some affairs have been put on hold. I have spare time. Wait a minute. I’ll take you to see it later.”

"it is good."

Qin Huai is a one-sided character, thinking about it in his heart, he took advantage of the opportunity of being on duty in the Imperial Academy to consult more relevant classics and found many methods.

"There are so many places to choose from." Ayu took the brochure Qin Huai gave her, flipped through the detailed introduction on it, and said, "I plan to train a group of useful people for my family. Loyalty comes second to ability. Anyway, grandma can help those who are lacking in ability. From this point of view, the criminal family members are actually quite good, at least they don’t need to be taught rules. Forget about the military service, there are more soldiers, and it is difficult to discipline. Hey, let's find an official to ask, they have a lot of people who have handled it, so they will know more details in the future!"

Official teeth are registered in the government office, and the people who handle them are also clean. They can even find out the generations of the ancestors, and they are comfortable to use.

Ayu also had a sudden whim. I didn’t think it before, but now I realized that my family can’t rely on brother Ayou’s guards with the red surname. Let’s not talk about whether they have other tasks. After all, I always need my own talents.

She doesn't mind, how do you know that other people in the family don't mind?

Brother Ayou has been hiding at home all year round. Even if the Wang family is used to it, when the Wang family enters the officialdom in the future, they will inevitably be gossiped behind.

It is better to eliminate these from the beginning.

The Wang family only needs loyal people, but they don’t have to go through life and death like the hidden guards. As long as they can protect the Wang family at critical times, they are considered qualified.

"Mr. Yuxiang, if you want to find me, you are in the right place!" Tangyuan was very capable, and soon found a man who claimed to be Wanning's number one official tooth. He was about forty years old, with clear eyebrows and eyes, Looking very kindly, "My old money dealers, the customers all say a good word. In these years, there is no case that they want to quit."

"Your surname is also Qian?" Ayu felt amused, "I once knew a middle-aged man who also had the surname Qian, and he was as talkative as you."

"Mr. Yuxiang is from Wangbei County, right? If I'm not mistaken, the man in Qian you mentioned should be my younger brother, named Qian Deyi." Seeing Ayu nodding, Qian Guanya smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. "That's really the right person. He often wrote to me in the past, saying that Mr. Yuxiang's family is generous and has taken care of him a lot of business over the years. Now he is also known as Guanya, and he is in the prefectural city of Wangbei County. Li is on errand!"

It’s just that Qian Deyi was a middleman who was in charge of real estate, while this Qian Guanya was in charge of population transfer, so he was a different position in the same department.

With this level of relationship, Qian Guanya's attitude became even warmer: "Mr. Yuxiang, if you need loyalty, I suggest you find a family. If you have a family and have children in the future, it will be easier to control. In addition In the past, most of the innocent criminal slaves with good fists and kicks have been picked away. If you have enough budget, you are not afraid to wait three to five years. They have a lot of strength and little strength, but if they are cultivated properly, they will be more useful and loyal than those in their thirties in time.”

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

"It's just a coincidence. Not long ago, due to an accident in the quarry, many officials were held accountable. Some of them had bad luck, and their families were exiled, and all the servants under their names were taken back for use. Yesterday One group was selected away, but there are still a group of brats left!"

After reaching the boundary, Ayu discovered that it was a place similar to a schoolyard, and a strange stink could be smelled from a long distance away.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a small room, and many people were locked in it. When they saw someone coming, many people lay down in front of the wooden fence, stretched out their hands and shouted: "My lord, my lord, look at me!" , I may have done it!"

"My lord, use me, I don't want monthly money, just reward me with a bite of food!"

"Your Excellency, look at me!"

There are also some people with numb faces, squatting in the corner with their knees bent, no matter what is happening around them.

"Who are they?" Ayu walked through a room and saw a group of young girls with their heads bowed in one place. Their eyes were more indifferent than the others.

"Where are they? They are a group of female slaves who are not guilty of exile, nor can they serve as official prostitutes." Qian Guanya explained, "Most of them are servant girls of some official ladies, and some are concubines of small officials. According to the crime, they have to wait Each family chooses, and they will usually be maids or concubines in the future. But compared to innocent girls, these people are not easy to use."

Miss’s maids are fine, but the nobles feel that these maids are more or less unlucky, and it’s useless to take them home to make rough maids, and it’s a waste of money to make fine maids. Not to mention concubines, those who are more particular will not want this kind of concubines who are in the official position, and some people are because of their weakness.

"You guys are too ridiculous. Aren't those men also convicted, and they think they are unlucky?" Tang Yuan was a little angry after hearing Qian Guanya's simple point, "This kind of thinking is biased!"

Qian Guanya was not angry, but smiled and said: "What this girl said is that most people in the world think like this. Those of us who are officials, we can't try to change the thoughts of the nobles, we can only obey. I said it. If Mr. Xiang and the others don't mind, these maids are available, and they don't need to be taught how to behave. If you buy them home, you don't want to be a first-class or second-class maid, even if you are only a third-class or rough maid. It’s also easier to use than others.”

Servants of sinners are more difficult to sell than ordinary servants. Those who have skills are picked out long before they are sent to the court. The rest are either so-called bad luck or other reasons. After all, it is more troublesome.

Ayu: "For the time being, I will buy 20 people, both men and women, ten each. The men will follow what you said, first find 8 teenagers, fifteen or sixteen years old, two young and middle-aged, healthy and human-oriented." All you have to do is share. Girls who are over 20 years old are all maids. I just want to be a maid with peace of mind. Our family does not keep concubines, so I have other thoughts, so I don’t want them at all. The rest of the requirements are gone, you Seeing that they have been selected, they will be sent to the Wang family on Sansi Street tomorrow, if these people are needed, we will select some more in the future."

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

He secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately, he didn't neglect Mr. Yuxiang because he was a half-way seal. He said everything he could say in detail, so that this good thing happened.

Immediately promised again and again: "It's easy to say, don't worry, Mr. Xiang, I will definitely handle the matter properly for you. If there is someone available in the future, I will let you give priority to it. If you want it at that time , I’ll have someone send it to you again, do you think it’s okay?”

Ayu: "Yes."

"OK ok!"

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

Fortunately, there were a lot of people, and half of them were women, so it was quick to get together. Once the candidates are selected, they will be sent to be trained 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 considered successful.

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

"Did you see it?" Ayu smiled with eyebrows curved, "I have such a plan, anyway, I want to find someone who can be used, why not start training now, and after three or five years, I will just be able to start using it .”
