Chapter 643



643 More and more powerful

After having lunch at third aunt Gu’s place, the Gu family took the remaining fifty or so people to the manor they had bought yesterday.

There were more than fifty people, so they had to rent at least five cars. When Gu shouxin finished the contract and came back, he had already rented a car.

In the carriage, Gu Xin talked about what she had learned today-how to choose people.

Gu Xin was able to analyze the questions that Da Huang and Xiao Lu asked when they were picking the candidates and the purpose of their questions.

Not only did Gu Hui and Gu si feel that Gu Xin had changed a lot, even the time travel Trio felt that Gu Xin had changed too much.

This was no longer the pitiful girl they had seen when they first arrived.

Although he was usually silly, at critical times, he had his own opinions and was getting more and more powerful.

The transmigration trio felt gratified. They had watched him grow!

……

when they arrived at the manor, they picked two of the older ones out of the fifty-odd people to manage.

One of them was surnamed he, and the other was surnamed Liu.

The two of them looked more stable and used to be stewards of a large family.

cai xiaolian gave them 20 taels of silver and let them arrange their lives for the next two days. she let them familiarize themselves with the environment first, and then let the two choose four girls with the most skillful hands. it didn’t have to be a girl, but it would also be fine if it was a woman.

Since Madam he and Madam Liu were entrusted with important tasks, they also secretly made up their minds to do a good job. Just now, it was obvious that nanny Da Huang and nanny Xiao Lu were not raised by an ordinary family, although their names were strange.

Moreover, their master’s brother-in-law was a young scholar who might have a career in the future. The master of their master’s temperament and the way he spoke did not seem like an ordinary person. If they did a good job, they should have someone to rely on in their later years!

It had to be said that Da Huang and Xiao Lu were really good at picking people, and Cai Xiaolian was also good at judging people. From this batch of people, she had chosen the two most loyal ones.

The people in this Manor had all left with the master and were now empty. Therefore, there was no problem with the accommodation of more than fifty people. It was just that they would need to spend money on food and clothing.

As for safety, five of these villages were owned by the Gu family. The other three villages had villagers who rented land. Gu shouxin just had to inform them, and there would not be too much of a problem here.

After making the necessary arrangements, Gu Nian asked about their whereabouts on the way back. What if these people ran away?

Cai Xiaolian was also curious about this question.

Gu Xin didn’t even need Gu shouxin to explain, ” “Mother, sister, when we travel in the great Zhou, we need travel passes. Just like every time we come to the prefecture, father has to show the travel Pass to the soldiers guarding the city. It was not necessary in small places, but every two years, the Yamen would count the population under its jurisdiction. Every household had to be asked clearly, including those who had servants at home. If you go to a place and are targeted by the soldiers, you can’t take out a guide and you can’t tell where you live. You will be caught. our village is so safe, they are all women, they won’t run away. If he wanted to run, he would have run away from the tooth shop.”

Gu shouxin nodded and said,”Xinxin is right.” In the future, we’ll bring travel passes with us when we travel far. It was a form of identification! for example, the rich man who sold his Manor to us moved North. When he left the Qing Prefecture, he had to go to the Yamen to issue a certificate. When he arrived at the place where he moved, he had to go to the Yamen there to record and produce a new travel Pass. This doesn’t only include their family, but also their maidservants, manservants, old women, and Coachmen.”

Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian looked at each other and thought,’although there were still some missing from the ancient population census, it’s good that they could do it this way.’
