"Why did you choose these few people to divide the work?" Isn't this number a bit too many? It's not that Yuan Shu Huan can't afford the money, it's just that this number exceeds Yuan Shu Huan's expectations. The weaving workshop itself has dozens of people, and adding so many more is indeed a bit too much.
The key is that the courtyard, although it has been expanded now, still can't accommodate dozens of people. After considering all aspects, so many people are indeed too many, after all, this is also a matter of looking at the situation.
"We don't need so many people in our yard, of course. Choose one of those few to manage the weaving workshop. As for those little girls, choose a few who are decent-looking and cultivate them into weavers or embroiderers later on. As for those female reds, they're not bad either, Han'gu can choose a few to replace Qingmanci."
Wang You's impression of Qing Meng is quite good. One is the girl he has grown up with since childhood, and he knows her weight in his heart. The other is that during this period of time, Qing Meng is still not bad, doing things very seriously and cleverly. Wang You dare not say that he is making a package ticket, but he also has some confidence.
If these two people are to be promoted, then someone will have to take over the tasks that Qing Mei and Qing Man are currently doing. These people only briefly scan through the candidates, as for who specifically gets chosen, it's up to Yuan Shu Huan. Judging from how the Yuan family treats its people, getting selected would be a huge stroke of luck, and one might even get to learn some skills along the way.
She had already selected two stewards, five seamstresses and about ten young girls. She also chose another two families, anyway she was preparing to take over those several villages in front of the base, these people were actually still a bit insufficient. It's just that there wasn't anyone else who caught her eye for the time being, so she could only temporarily give up.
Yuanshu Huan didn't need these people to be overly loyal, anyway he had his own ways of controlling them. Those who could work sincerely were naturally good, but if they couldn't, Yuanshu Huan wouldn't force it. These things Yuanshu Huan wasn't in a hurry about, as long as he could have complete control. After all, Yuanshu Huan was still young, and youth was his greatest asset!
"Get two more cooks over, ones who can hold a spoon." Yuan Shu Heng suddenly felt that he had too much money and was getting anxious! The assets of the Dong family were divided into many parts, and Yuan Shu Heng's wealth suddenly became substantial. If they didn't indulge in food, drink, prostitution, and gambling, it would be enough for three or four generations to eat without finishing, but Yuan Shu Heng didn't have the habit of sitting idle and wasting his wealth.
No matter what, I want to give my two children a normal life. Although it is said that scholars, farmers, workers and merchants are the lowest class, but status is something that Yuan Shuhong has never cared about. When you have ability, you have corresponding right of speech. Yuan Shuhong has always been very aware of this point, after all, he himself was from that time step by step exploring.
Yabao didn't dare to do anything, and after seeing Pei Mingxuan and Dong Qingyuan again, thinking about this master was purely a suicidal behavior. Yabao hadn't reached the point where she was blinded by greed and forgot everything, including her family, body, and life.
Yuan Shu Han put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Let's settle this. If these people cause any trouble later, don't blame me for coming back to find you." Yuan Shu Han's tone was calm, but it made Ya Po break out in cold sweats. Yuan Shu Han's words were simple and clear: if these people caused any problems, he would come looking for her.
In the past when there were fewer people, it was still possible to carefully consider things. Now with so many people, if they still did things like before, Yuan Shuhong wouldn't exhaust himself to death. After all this fuss, the sun is already setting in the west. If they asked one by one, they might not even be able to return home until midnight. There's no way Yuan Shuhong would do such a foolish thing.
It's okay, the courtyard next door is empty upstairs and downstairs, and the adjacent ones have all been converted into houses. These dozens of people can still be squeezed in. Moreover, those six little girls in one room are more than enough, so Yuan Shuheng thought about it and decided to take away all twenty-four little girls. Wait a few years until these girls grow up and make other arrangements, and then let someone find a few more boys to come over.
Adding the two families with their children, it's indeed a bit too much. This little one should be enough. One family even brought a pair of twins, who looked extremely cute. Looking again at the older ones, there was another pair of twin boys, whom Yuan Shu Han estimated to be only three or four years old. Probably because they were twins just like his younger siblings, Yuan Shu Han couldn't help but feel a little fond of them.
"It's better to just adopt them as siblings or children." In his heart, Pei Mingxuan still liked Shu Chen and Shu Xiao. After all, some things couldn't be replaced. The warmth that Shu Chen and Shu Xiao brought him would forever be stored deep within Pei Mingxuan's heart. Even if in the future, there were children who were closer to him, this feeling of his would still exist.
"It doesn't matter either way." Yuan Shu Han had never been one to dwell on things, if he liked something, he would take it. After all, they were all people who had signed their own death warrants, whether they lived or died was up to themselves. Moreover, such a cheap thing, only a fool wouldn't do it. After all, these few children following him were masters, while following those others would only make them slaves, the choice was obvious.
"Thank you, master." Although he was reluctant to part with his child, the man made up his mind at once. Such a profitable thing, where can it be found? Following them would only make the child suffer and be inferior, but in the end, they could still see each other. The man made this decision almost without hesitation, while the woman's eyes revealed surprise and reluctance.
A hint of understanding flashed across Yuan Shu Huan's eyes, it seemed that this man still had a bit of ambition. Unfortunately, he encountered someone named Yuan Shu Huan, a woman who didn't know what mercy was. However, this did not affect Yuan Shu Huan's fondness for the child, and she would naturally take all necessary precautions.
And later, Dong Qing originally meant to understand more deeply what Yuan Shu Huan meant by "at will". Just casually taking in a few children as adopted sons, this is an unreliable thing no matter how you look at it. For Yuan Shu Huan, however, it was done with ease. Pei Ming Xuan was the one who made the proposal.
"But the necessary procedures can't be omitted, I'll bring down the household registration of these few children tomorrow." Yuan Shu Huan beckoned to the two twin boys, his wife reluctantly looked at the two children but couldn't withstand her husband's gaze and could only obediently hand over the two sons.
However, they also have four daughters and three sons. Yuan Shu-han can only sigh that this family is really capable of giving birth. However, this does not represent anything. A position like Guan Shi's is probably forever out of reach for this family. Whether the man in his heart thinks about waiting for the children to grow up before doing something or selling his sons for fame and fortune now.
Yuan Shuheng could only say that this idea was wrong, if it was really for the good of the child, Yuan Shuheng might still support him. Such an ambitious person, if left by his side, would be a disaster. Yuan Shuheng looked at the children in swaddling clothes from another family and already had some ideas in her mind. These children just happened to be companions for Shu Chen and Shu Yun, anyway, she could still afford to raise these few children.
"Since I'm going to take in those two kids from your family, I think this is fine too. It's just that I don't know if you're willing to let them go or not." This side has already taken in four more, so a few more won't make a difference either. The children of both families have been taken back, and when the time comes, sending both families away will be the end of it. Yuan Shuheng would never be a philanthropist, it's impossible for him to play the role of helping others raise their children for free, only to let them reunite with their parents in the end.
"You'd better think carefully, after following the master, you are the master, not a subordinate living under someone else's roof." Pei Mingxuan didn't know what Yuan Shuhuan wanted to do now, but he still cooperated with Yuan Shuhuan. Anyway, such things don't need to be worried about by himself, Yuan Shuhuan has his own ideas.
The couple looked at each other, and there was still a hint of reluctance in their eyes. But Pei Mingxuan's words had deeply moved the two people. This family of three had come out to sell themselves, and it could only be said that they were forced to do so out of desperation. Moreover, this small town was not big to begin with, and they did not want to separate from their families, so they could not sell themselves no matter what.
"This... master, I also know that your arrangement is the best for the child, it's just that my heart still can't bear to part with them. Can you allow me and my wife to discuss this further?" The man, although appearing to be down on his luck, showed a hint of extraordinary demeanor in his speech. As parents, they naturally couldn't bear to part with their child, but at the same time, they didn't want to hold back the child's entire life either.
"You only need to remember that there is only this one chance." Yuan Shu Huan has always been a person who is not good at seizing opportunities, let alone finding such a small child. Today's events can only be described as a coincidence, and whether he will have the same mood in the future, Yuan Shu Huan doesn't know.
"I have something to ask the master," said the woman standing next to the man, her body battered but with a hint of color. She seemed to have made up her mind, and her eyes as she looked at Yuan Shu-han were fearless and determined. This actually made Yuan Shu-han look at this woman with newfound respect - women usually didn't have the right to speak in such situations, especially when men treated them so differently.
"You said it." Yuan Shuheng was very curious what this woman wanted to say to him, and also admitted that the woman's eyes had deeply moved him. It seemed that the plan set earlier needed to be changed somewhat. He didn't know if it was because of his own luck, but every time he went out to pick someone up, he would encounter such strange people.
Previously, she had met Wang You, a woman who was still a mystery to this day. Now, the couple was also very interesting, and it could only be described in two words: good luck. Yuan Shu Huan had always only looked at people's abilities, as for their past experiences, Yuan Shu Huan never asked about them.
That's a thing of the past, something that should be forgotten for these people. No matter who you were or what status you had in the past, now everyone is under my control.
"What does the master want these children to do?" They are called adopted sons and daughters, but there are many twists and turns in this. The woman herself also crawled out of these things, so she naturally can't help but guard against them.
