"Madam, no." Qiu Ju said with a slight frown, "Generally, only slaves who have made serious mistakes will be sold out of the house. If the slave is not wrong, he will be sold out of the house, and outsiders will definitely
Some would say that our general's government is unkind, so we can only return people's bonds of sale to them and send them away. But in ordinary people's houses, large-scale dismissal of slaves is because something has happened to the house, or it is about to fall. Our country is about to fall.
The General's Mansion is good, but if you want to reduce so many servants, it will definitely lead to random speculation."
"Also, now Madam feels that the house cannot use so many people to do things, but once there is a banquet in the house, if half of the servants are missing, it will definitely not be enough. They say that raising an army takes a thousand days, but deploying it lasts only a moment. Sometimes this is the case
The same goes for the servants in the house."
If there are not enough people when hosting a banquet, it will naturally make a mess and be laughed at.
Mu Na frowned, but she didn't expect that selling her own slaves would lead to criticism.
Seeing the lady frowning, Qiu Ju added: "In the past, there was no other way to make a living in the General's Mansion. We all relied on the General's salary to live. Now we have bought a shop and farmland, and Butler Yun is taking care of it. The monthly income is more than a thousand taels of silver."
, there is no need to save as much as before.”
She knew that Madam was used to saving. She didn't need to spend money that was unnecessary, and she didn't want to raise people in the mansion who didn't need to be raised. But now that the General's Mansion is no better than before, there is really no need to be as frugal as before. It's all for nothing.
The servants became more and more dissatisfied with Madam.
"This money is all saved. Just because we have it now, we can't stop saving it." Mu Na insisted on her opinion.
Qiu Ju was speechless for a moment, and after a while she said: "This saving should also be made in the places that should be saved. There are some things that cannot be saved. For example, employees and food cannot be saved, and the soldiers in the house cannot be saved.
Now we eat the same food as the servants, if we don't eat some oil and water every day, how can we train and protect the general's mansion?"
The servants in the mansion have also complained to her too many times. She also feels that the servants and soldiers in the mansion are poorly fed, so today she wants to take this opportunity to persuade Madam.
Mu Na lowered her eyes and thought about it, and felt that Qiu Ju was right, "Then let the soldiers and servants eat separately."
Qiu Ju's eyes twitched, "If we eat them separately, it won't look good if we make two meals. We still eat the same thing, and add solid meat dishes for lunch and dinner. Everyone can eat well. After eating, the soldiers will have the strength to practice.
, the servants in the house will also think of you, Madam, and say that our General’s Office is kind outside, isn’t this also a good reputation for Madam and our General’s Office?”
Mu Na curled her lips, feeling that she and the general's family were kind enough to their servants. They were so kind and righteous, and the servants in the family wanted her to give them two meals of meat a day before they treated people outside.
To say they are kind is actually a bit ungrateful.
"That's all, just give them two meals of meat a day! This person won't sell it anymore."
"Madam, you are kind." Qiu Ju complimented with a smile.
Mrs. Wu asked her maid to inform the three members of the Fan family, telling them that the youngest son of the fifteenth county master had turned two years old, and invited them to go with him.
"Madam said, Mrs. Fan, you don't need to prepare gifts. Madam will prepare the gifts." The maid who passed the message said with a smile.
Xu Baozhu nodded and said, "That's very good."
She was worried about this gift at first! Since Wu knew how to prepare it, she didn't have to worry about it.
"Mom, why did the county owner think of inviting us?" Fan Yuelan asked while eating a banana. None of them had seen the county owner yet!
Xu Baozhu said with a smile: "We are relatives of the Yun family, and we live in the Yun family. She invited the Yun family, so naturally she has to invite us, otherwise she would be disrespectful of etiquette."
Since the county lord invited her, she would go and have a good look at what kind of person the county lord is in the future.
