Chapter 1236 The More Manpower Shortages, The Better ([-])

The Detachment of Women's Army told Niu Daya so much, not only to solve her heart problems, but also to take the opportunity to collect basic information and share it with Zhaolin to save time.

After listening to the briefing, Qi Ke couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and exchanged a glance with Zhaolin. The omnipotent housekeeper understood and accepted the meaning in Qi Ke's eyes.

Niu Daya has a poor background, but she told a real phenomenon that happens every year. The villages along the river banks, when the summer tax and autumn tax are collected, are the most prosperous time for population trading. The girl was taken away by Ren Yazi and her future is uncertain. It would be better if Boss Qi bought her. There is still a big shortage of manpower in her land in Liangshui Town. Don't keep your eyes on those refugees. The honest and hardworking village girls are also very good.

"Also pay attention to the river. There are definitely not a few people who commit suicide by throwing water. Picking one is one. What if there is someone as lucky as Niu Daya? I used to know a custom that girls would commit suicide together, and those who hanged themselves jumped into the well. Those who throw themselves into the water love to be together, and the atmosphere is not bleak, they put on their best clothes, hold hands, and go away happily, in their eyes, Huangquan Hell is better than the world.”

"Okay." The almighty butler responded indifferently, without asking the reason for this custom.

"When you send the clothes over, ask if you want to sign a contract of sale and work for me. If you don't want to, forget it, don't force it."

"it is good."

Zhao Lin stood still without moving his eyes, but the order had been issued, and the female soldier who had taken care of Niu Daya came in from outside the door, picked up the bundle of clothes and left.

Niu Daya didn't sleep deeply when she came back to the cage, she woke up when she vaguely heard a knock on the door, and just sat up when she saw the door was opened, and the person who took care of her before came in with a bundle.

"Did you sleep well? Get out of bed and try on your clothes, and then I have something to tell you."

Niu Daya quickly got out of bed, opened the bag and neatly arranged the clothes, shoes, socks and toiletries on the edge of the bed, looking left and right, unable to put it down.

"Such fine clothes are all for me to wear?"

"Yes, it's all for you. The host is generous and doesn't bother to skimp on food and clothing for the people below."

Niu Daya carefully picked up the apron, which is a piece of pure cotton cloth that has been cut and sewn. It has not been dyed or embroidered, but it has been washed in water, and it can be put on directly after being clean.

The Detachment of Women turned around in good time and bolted the door. Niu Daya pursed her lips, suppressing the shame welling up in her heart, and took off the clothes that had long been ill-fitting, and put on new ones.

The women's army on the opposite wall still turned around again at the right time, and saw Niu Daya lowered her head and pinched the drawstring on the waist of her trousers, not knowing how to tie it.

The new clothes that Qi Ke gave out to his subordinates, the style of the jacket has not changed, but the trousers have abandoned the traditional style of being tied up with a long waistband. Under the premise that the elastic band is not yet available, all of them have been changed to the drawstring style. The trouser waist style was novel to the female workers at first, but after two or three days, they all got used to the new style which is easy to put on and take off.

Niu Daya was stumped by the new-style trouser waist cord. She thought it should be tied like this, but at the same time she felt that it was too short to wrap around her waist a few times like the one she was used to. Of course, she Many poor people don't even have cotton cloth for trouser belts, just a piece of hemp rope.

The Detachment of Women walked over and told her that this was a new style, and at the same time demonstrated to help her fasten her trouser belt with a knot that could be tightened and loosened at will.
