Qiu Ju frowned slightly and said, "Usually only slaves who make big mistakes are sold and kicked out of the house.
If the servant is not wrong and sells the person to the house, outsiders will definitely say that our general's house is unkind, so we can only return the person's sale deed to them and send him away.
But in most people's houses, large-scale dismissal of slaves is because something happened to the house or it is going to collapse.
Our general's palace is good, but if we have to reduce so many servants, it will definitely lead to random speculation."
"Also, right now, Madam feels that the house does not need 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 it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a moment to deploy it. Sometimes the same goes for the servants in this 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 steward 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. You can't stop saving just because you have it now."
Mu Na insisted on her opinion.
Qiu Ju was speechless for a moment, and after a while she said: "This saving should also be done where it should be saved, and some things cannot be saved.
For example, the staff and food cannot be spared. The soldiers in the palace now eat the same food as the servants. If they don't eat some oil and water every day, how can they train and protect the general's palace?"
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 wanted 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 food, but add solid meat dishes at lunch and dinner, so that everyone can enjoy it.
After eating well, the soldiers of the government will be strong enough to train, and the servants in the government will also think of you, madam, and say that our general's office is kind. Isn't this also a good name for my wife and our general's office?
?”
Mu Na curled her lips, feeling that she and the general's family were kind enough to the 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."
"Mrs. Mercy."
Qiu Ju smiled and complimented.
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 delivered the message smiled and said.
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 master think of inviting us?"
Fan Yuelan asked while eating a banana. None of them had seen the county head yet! Xu Baozhu smiled and said: "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 her as well."
We, otherwise we would be ignorant 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.
