Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1297 Famine and Natural Disaster 456

"My dear, there are fifty-four people coming this time, including seventeen male stewards, six female stewards, twenty-one male slaves and ten female slaves."

No matter how many thoughts he had in his mind, he was always conscientious in fulfilling his duties.

Mingyi looked at the fifty or so people kneeling on the ground below. Logically speaking, she did not have the status to receive their kneeling respects; but when they came to pay their respects, they knelt down on their own initiative, and they knelt in unison, which might have been instructed by someone close to the princess.

However, even so, there were still several people who behaved disrespectfully.

"Some of them did not come to Fucheng voluntarily. You can take them away. I cannot afford to employ those who are unwilling to come, nor can I trust them." She was too lazy to care about these people as the indenture was not in her hands. "Send them back to the palace. As for the reason, I have Butler Luo write a letter to explain it."

Those who were reluctant in their hearts felt guilty, and two of them were so scared that their legs went limp.

Once they were sent back, they would have no way to survive; the princess would not let such disobedient people like them be in charge and serve, and they could not actively beg for mercy at the moment, so they just hoped for luck and not be discovered by the person above.

"This slave understands."

Butler Luo replied respectfully and praised silently.

Fucheng's industry is newly emerging, and it really cannot employ people with ulterior motives.

As the person in charge, it was right for Miss Cheng to decisively eliminate these people. If these people are not used properly, they may rebel.

After Butler Luo replied, he turned around and winked at the two servants standing by. The servants understood and walked into the crowd and pulled out eight people, both men and women.

"Take out their family members as well." Seeing that the servants only took away those who behaved disrespectfully, Steward Luo gave the order.

"Here."

Two strong male slaves walked over and counted their family members, a total of fourteen people.

"Puff."

"Puff."

"Please spare my life, young lady. Please spare my life, young lady."

Fourteen people knelt down in unison, and those who were not dragged out secretly rejoiced that they did not do so unwillingly; the management was the same wherever they went, and the owner of the palace did not force their families to stay in the city. They could settle down here, and if they were sure they would not leave, they could bring their families over.

Looking at those people kneeling beside him and begging for mercy, he could not help but wake up. The petite and lovely young lady above should not be underestimated. He would be very nervous to work under her in the future.

"Take him away and hand him over to the guards sent by the princess." Butler Luo stood aside and presided over the situation.

"Yes."

The servants outside the yard came in and dragged these disloyal servants away, ignoring their pleas for mercy.

The rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief and hung their heads even lower.

Butler Luo smiled slightly and said, "Young lady, how do you plan to arrange the others?"

"The woolen mill has dormitories for employees, and they are arranged to live there. Each manager is given a room, and if their family members are with their elders, as for other people, if they are from a family, they are also given two rooms, and those who are not married are arranged to sleep in the dormitory."

"Slave understands."

"Well, let them settle down first, and then let Rong Mama bring them to see me." Feeling that the matter was almost done, Mingyi stood up and left leisurely with the maidservants around her. Butler Luo saw Mingyi out of the yard respectfully, and then he looked at the remaining people; some of them relaxed because of the departure of Miss Cheng, and the most obvious thing was the relaxation of their shoulders and necks. Some people were still respectful and honest. Judging from the details, Butler Luo had a preliminary understanding of their character.

"You have all heard that the young lady has opened a woolen workshop, and the products produced there will increase. Fifteen of you will be left as the stewards, and you will be reassigned to different positions later. I hope you can perform your duties diligently and do your part well."

"We understand." The stewards answered in unison.

Butler Luo nodded as if he knew something, and glanced at the servants who were sent to serve. "As for you, you will be arranged to work in various workshops in the future. If you have ideas, you can work hard to become a steward, or a team leader in a workshop. Then you will be able to make a name for yourself."

"We understand, servants." The servants responded quickly.

Two older women, about in their early twenties, came out and said, "Butler Luo, we are the young ladies sent by the princess to serve you."

"Princess." He frowned, and the first thought that came to his mind was that the princess was on guard against Miss Cheng; but seeing the two men's posture, temperament and demeanor, their status in the prince's palace in the city should not be low, and the princess would not send two useful people to keep an eye on Miss Cheng at the same time.

One of the women with a relatively ordinary appearance took a step forward and said calmly, "Butler Luo, the two of us are the princess's dowry. We followed our parents to the palace as companions when we were very young. Before we left, the princess reminded us that the young lady was too young. After hearing about her achievements in Fucheng, she was worried that she would not be able to take care of herself, so she sent the two of us here."

"Then what can you do?" Butler Luo felt relieved a little.

Another person stepped forward and said, "I am a doctor. Although I am not very proficient, I am good at regulating the body."

"I have some talent in managing affairs. Fortunately, I have the princess's trust and am in charge of the princess's dowry."

After they introduced themselves, Butler Luo understood the princess' intention; one was good at conditioning the body, the other was good at management, and both were the princess's confidants. It would be both good and bad for such people to be around Miss Cheng, and it all depended on whether Miss Cheng could win them over.

"I see. What are your names?"

"My maidservant's surname is Yu, and my humble name is Xiangran."

"My maidservant's surname is Yu, and my humble name is Xiangyu."

Yu Xiangran is good at conditioning, while Yu Xiangyu is good at management.

Butler Luo looked at them and said, "Wait here. I will ask the young lady for instructions later. If she wants to see you, she will summon you."

"Yes."

The two of them stepped aside respectfully, waiting for Butler Luo to finish the matters at hand before he had time to deal with them.

Butler Luo glanced at the two of them and felt a bit troubled; the young lady asked him to arrange for someone to go over, but the two of them couldn't go over at this moment. After thinking it over, he could only let the others wait together and arrange for them to eat something to fill their stomachs first.

"Take them to eat something and wait in the front yard. I will personally take them to the wool workshop after I finish my work here."

The steward who was serving at the side responded, "Yes, I know what to do."

"Yes." Butler Luo then took the two people sent by the princess to Tao Yiyuan. When they arrived outside Tao Yiyuan, he did not let them in. He asked Chunxi and Chunmei to report back first, and he went in to ask for instructions. The two housekeepers were waiting outside.

Mingyi was not surprised to know that Butler Luo was coming. Given the princess's thoughtfulness, it was impossible for her to ignore her. It was rare for her to send someone over, and since there was no letter, it meant that someone had been sent over.

"Butler Luo, are you here to send someone off for the princess?"

Housekeeper Luo nodded with a smile, "That's right, the princess sent two housekeepers to you, would you like to meet them?"
