After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Chapter 54
Although the time he spent dealing with Yu Zizhen was short, Yu Sheng, an old fox, could see from their brief interaction that Yu Zizhen was a very independent and powerful person.

Yu Sheng knows that no matter how young a master with this kind of personality is, they must not fool him as a servant or subordinate. Otherwise, when he comes back to his senses, he will definitely make you pay for the fool you made him. A heavy price.

Yu Sheng didn't want to make a fuss when he was about to leave, so he had already spread the word "out of favor" before selecting someone, so that the servants with connections and backgrounds in the mansion would be aware of his selection this time. It's not that we are tailoring delicious food for them, but that we simply need to select some honest, hard-working and capable people to do the hard work.

Servants with connections and backgrounds naturally do not want their children and relatives to do hard work, so they avoid it one after another. On the contrary, those who have no connections and backgrounds, and the family urgently needs one more person to work as a errand to make a living. The servants who had enough to eat couldn't wait to bring all the eligible relatives at home.

Although these people are not all honest and hard-working people who meet Yu Sheng's requirements, without those related people who just want to be stewards or deputy ladies, the difficulty and workload of Yu Sheng's selection will be much smaller.

Originally, those people who had chosen to give up this opportunity had some doubts about him because of his ability to cut through the mess quickly, but before their suspicions could be confirmed, Yu Zizhen used her actual actions to prove that Yu Sheng didn't deceive them at all.

Not only did she drastically reduce the number of people responsible for doing rough work, but when the housekeeper pointed out that there were not enough people, she directly changed the rules of the palace.

Because of her slutty moves, many of the servants who were originally willing to come to Lu Mingxuan could not help but back out now, let alone those who were unwilling to do rough work from the beginning.

They were extremely fortunate that they had the connections and connections to find out the inside story in advance and thus successfully avoid the big fire pit of Yu Zizhen.

At this time, they didn't know that Yu Zizhen actually didn't want to have children in a family like theirs who was used to being naughty.

What she needs is the kind of capable subordinates who are absolutely loyal to her and can be used by her in some aspects. They are not the kind of so-called servants who work hard for their monthly salary every day and at the same time work hard to harm the public and enrich themselves. They are not the kind of servants who are more powerful than her The master was a hundred times more squeamish. He said he was serving her, but in fact he was a noble deputy lady who was being served by other little maids along with her.

Behind the first little girl who took the initiative to stand up, a total of twelve more people took the initiative to stand in front of Yu Zizhen.

As for the other maids and women, they all lowered their heads and expressed their extreme resistance to this job in silence.

These people are either barely able to survive at home and really can't bear the hardship, or they are too brainy and think that they get the same amount of money as others but do more work than others. Big loss.

In short, they all chose to give up this opportunity.

Yu Zizhen didn't express any opinion on this. She even laughed in a good mood when she saw the stewardess winking at those "bow-heads" with a fierce look on her face as if she was killing a chicken and wiping her neck.

"Don't force a cow to have its head pressed without drinking water. The fate of master and servant is ultimately a matter of your own will."

The housekeeper never expected that Yu Zizhen could be so transparent at such a young age. While she bowed in response, she secretly scolded those blind maids and women in her heart, "Stupid people who can't stand on the stage can only see with their eyes." Sooner or later, you will regret the piece of land on your face that is as big as a palm!"

Yu Zizhen didn't know what the stewardess was thinking. She simply asked the 13 people some questions and then kept them all.

She said to the housekeeper who brought the people over: "I'll keep these people, and you can take the others back. Oh, by the way, are there servants looking after the houses in the other courtyards of Sanjin Courtyard? "

The housekeeper said "Yes", "Back to the prince, the housekeeper has arranged four servants for each yard to be responsible for cleaning and maintenance." Yu Zizhen nodded, "Then you can take them out too, those yards It’s now under my control.”

The housekeeper was stunned. She, she suspected that there was something wrong with her ears.

The maids and women who had given up the job opportunity were all shocked and confused at this moment. They never dreamed that Yu Zizhen wanted to occupy the entire third courtyard of the palace by himself.

Seeing that they were motionless, Yu Zizhen had to say one more thing, "I have already said hello to Grandpa Sheng."

It doesn't matter whether these servants understand or are willing to do something that Yu Sheng has already agreed to.

The housekeeper looked complicated, "I will take them away now."

Yu Zizhen nodded, "Please count and register all the items and even flowers and trees in the yard before you take people away, so that my people won't be confused in the future."

The housekeeper was silent for a moment and then said: "Yes, I obey."

The palace is so big, the amount of daily expenses is unimaginable to ordinary people. However, at least half of this expense is not really used, but is wasted by the people responsible for the work under clever names.

Take the item of precious flowers and trees as an example. Those in charge of flowers and trees can just pick a few flowers and trees that their masters think are ordinary, but they can sell at least 80 taels of flowers and trees outside. The name was checked off the book, and then they found the same flowers and trees to add it. After entering and exiting, they could easily take out a few hundred taels from the owner's purse to fill themselves.

There are countless such clever sects. The housekeeper, who has lived in the palace's servant circle for most of her life and is not in charge for the first time, is naturally well versed in their ways.

But the eldest son of their family, a child who has never been exposed to the palace's general affairs, how did he know these things?

With this unspeakable mystery in mind, the housekeeper bowed respectfully and left.

As soon as she left, Yu Zizhen immediately introduced Lady Zhang, Yu Heng, and Yao Guang to her new servants.

Madam Zhang is her trusted housekeeper to the outside world, and she also serves as the head steward of her small kitchen internally.

Well, there is no other permanent member of the small kitchen except Mrs. Zhang, so in addition to being in charge, she is also a powerful cook who takes the lead.

As for Yuheng and Yaoguang, their identities have always been female guards.
