Chapter 1228 The More Manpower Shortages, The Better ([-])

All their personal belongings were sealed up in their respective houses, and none of them could be taken out. All the gold, silver, treasures and ledgers in the warehouses that were confiscated were concentrated in one place and guarded heavily, and only a small part was taken out to maintain house arrest. This is the reason why Tiantian steamed buns and pickled vegetables.

In the past few days, the girls have not wiped their bodies or changed their clothes. It is a hot day, and they are smelly, so after making the beds, they boil water to take a bath and change clothes. The clothes they change come from the Detachment Army. When shopping in Tianshang Street, I bought them from tailors, and the close-fitting clothes were directly sewn with new cloth. The sizes were all loose, so they definitely didn’t fit well, but everyone was guaranteed to be brand new inside and out.

Qi Ke's place is bustling with activity, and the concubines who were left behind are also rethinking their future. The young and old still insist on their decision, either to remarry or find a nunnery to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha for the rest of their lives.

Those who sway back and forth are those of the middle age. Marriage does not necessarily mean that you can get married, and you don’t have good skills to make a living. You have been a concubine for many years. Even if you used to be good at embroidery, you can’t embroider a good sparrow now. It’s better if you don’t practice for many years. All the crafts are ruined.

The Detachment of Women came and said clearly that they were recruiting people for textile factories and farmland, and until the number of places is limited, some people will naturally reconsider the issue of livelihood. It seems that it is not too difficult to choose between poor free agents and secure and income-indented slaves .

Farming is hard work, but working in a textile factory seems to be better?Although weaving is also hard work, it is good to work indoors without the wind and sun.

The concubines thought that Qi was a big landlord recruiting tenant farmers to work. After thinking about it, his body, which had been pampered for many years, would definitely not be able to bear it. He might not be able to survive the first day of work in the fields. Weaving is better, and it is not so hard.

Those who can think of this kind of thought in their hearts are mostly shaken, and after thinking about it several times, they basically have a decision. The concubine who can survive in the backyard of the complicated inner house of the Chen family does not lack the wisdom to survive. If he was really stupid, he would have been pushed out to be a servant long ago.

The next day, Qi Ke sent another class of women's soldiers to the yard where the concubines were under house arrest to ask their opinions. After a day and a night of deliberation, more than half of the group of people in the middle age stood up, and there were five other people who watched She looked like a 50-year-old woman who stood firmly by the side of the Detachment of Women regardless of the resistance and cursing of other companions.

As soon as these five people repented, they could see that when they said they wanted to become a monk, they just had nowhere to go to follow the crowd. At their age, they would die if they didn’t become a monk. Now they have a new choice. They thought about it all day and night. After you become a monk, you also have to work. Simple tea and light meals will not fall from the sky. Farming, watering vegetables, spinning and weaving are all indispensable. Since you are working everywhere, it may be easier to work for big landlords. They are already mediocre. Who wants to die when An An lives to this age.

The Detachment of Women left with this group of people. According to Qi Ke's thinking, the concubine's recruitment is over here. She doesn't have the time to see people back and forth. There are still groups of servants locked up in this mansion. This is the key point of Qi Ke's recruitment.

In a wealthy family, knowledge is the most important thing, and the children born from generation to generation after the marriage between servants are the most trusted. Hit the point of obedience.
