In order to let his family pay attention to employment matters, Bai Ling moved Duan Yulang out.
Sure enough, the whole family listened attentively. After all, Duan Yulang was the son of a wealthy family and had more say in how to use his servants.
"The most important thing in employing servants is loyalty. If you are disloyal once, you will not be disloyal a hundred times. If you make some minor mistakes on weekdays, a few minor reprimands or a slight punishment will suffice. But if someone betrays the master, even if he can't stand it, he will be killed ruthlessly.
We must also punish him severely so that others can understand where the master's bottom line is before selling him at a low price to Ren Yazi." Bai Ling said in a deep voice.
However, Bai Ling did not intend to say what would happen to the servants who were sold at a low price, so as not to frighten the family.
"Ah? How does that count as betraying the master's family?" Bai Liu asked in confusion.
"For example, taking advantage of others, selling our money-making formula, or not doing what the master said, or for various reasons, the master was injured or even life-threatening."
Bai Ling gave a few examples. After all, it was his first time using a servant and he only knew a few things theoretically, so he said:
"Let's put it this way, in addition to being respectful and obedient to our family, the servants must also protect our interests and protect our safety at all times like our family. This is a qualified servant and the one we buy.
Isn’t that the original intention of people?”
Mrs. Bai Liu nodded in understanding, somewhat understanding what Bai Ling meant.
"I understand what Second Sister means. The servants must put our interests first, otherwise they will betray the master." Bai Wei understood very straightforwardly.
"I thought it was quite a prestigious thing for rich people to have servants to take care of them, but it doesn't sound very safe now." Baicao frowned, feeling a little against the existence of servants.
"Eldest sister, don't think too much. The contracts of these servants are all in our hands. As long as they are not inserted by others, we will not have the guts to do harm to our family, unless it is life-threatening. Besides, our family is not a harsh master.
As long as you work hard, how can you do anything to others?"
Bai Ling chuckled and said:
"These are the new people here. It's best to only assign them some menial jobs, at least those involving prescriptions, and keep them out of the way for the time being."
"I thought I was going to be a landlord, but in the end I had to do everything by myself. Haha, fortunately, I'm used to working. If I don't do anything, I don't even know what to do." Bai Sanshu joked with a smile.
.
Bai Ling told Bai Ling the promise he made when he bought the person, and he was too embarrassed to remind Bai Sanshu too bluntly not to have inappropriate thoughts, but everyone except Bai Xing and Bai Xiaoshan understood what Bai Ling meant.
On the other hand, Bai Sanshu's face burned a little when his wife and children stared at him like this, and he scratched the back of his head.
"Sister, I bought a lot of embroiderers this time. You can teach them how to embroider later. But the house at home is a bit tight. I have to find someone to build a yard behind. I will do it later.
It is convenient for the embroidery studio to have the embroidery lady live over there." Bai Ling had told his family about this before, and everyone was aware of it, but they didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Then I'm going to find someone now to make arrangements for building a house." Bai Sanshu stood up immediately and said.
"Dad, my servant is still waiting for the master to lecture me, why are you so anxious?" Bai Ling said in a funny tone, trying not to expose Bai Sanshu's intention to escape.
"I'm not..." Bai Sanshu looked at Bai Liu in embarrassment and blushed even more.
"If you dare to think that way, I will take my children away and make you happy enough!" Bai Liu warned.
"How dare I!" Bai Sanshu expressed his stance hurriedly, causing several older girls to cover their mouths and laugh.
"Second sister, I don't dare to speak when I see strangers. If you ask me to take care of such an old person, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." Baicao nervously grabbed Bai Ling's hand, trembling slightly.
"The eldest sister just treats them as a competition of embroidery work. If someone's embroidery work is not as good as the eldest sister, the eldest sister will teach her like the third sister. If the embroidery work is better than the eldest sister's, the eldest sister will follow suit. Anyway, it's better to open an embroidery shop.
We haven't found a good one, so we can only take on some jobs now. The eldest sister is responsible for assigning the jobs. When the time comes, we can learn from Aunt Fu about management. She has been the housekeeper of the inner courtyard in a wealthy family."
Bai Ling spoke softly, which reassured Baicao's heart.
After the family talked for a while, Bai Ling shouted out the door, and Uncle Fu and his wife came in with their servants and Xiu Niang to pay homage to their master.
"Slave\Slave has met his master." Under the leadership of Uncle Fu, everyone kowtowed.
Both the movements and the chorus showed that they had been specially trained.
"Everyone, please get up. Men should stand in one row, and women should stand in another row. After I introduce my family members, you all can introduce yourselves." Bai Ling said loudly, her sweet little face straightening up a bit.
Led by Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu, everyone was neatly divided into two rows. Although they raised their heads to look at the seats, they still maintained the posture that a servant should have, and many people looked cautious.
Bai Ling looked at everyone's expressions and silently gave them scores.
"These two are my parents. From now on, you will call me my boss and my wife. These are my eldest sister, third sister, younger sister, and younger brother. You will call them girl and young master." Bai Ling introduced them one by one.
The servants exchanged respectful words one by one, then lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at their master.
"Mom and dad, please say a few words." Bai Ling lowered his voice.
"You still have to talk!"
Bai Sanshu scratched his head and held it in for a long time, not knowing what to say. Still under Bai Ling's encouraging gaze, he said bravely:
"When you get here, it's just like your own home. We are farmers, and we have to work on weekdays. As long as we do well, we will be fed and clothed. We don't have so many rules. You... do whatever you want."
Bai Ling resisted the urge to cover her face and looked at Bai Liu.
"I don't have anything to say, just that everyone should do their best." Bai Liu mustered up the courage to say this.
Bai Cao looked at the women, but couldn't tell who was the embroiderer. Seeing Bai Ling looking at her with a smile, she blushed and said, "My family plans to open an embroidery shop. If you are good at embroidery, you can work with me."
, the more you work, the more you earn.”
Seeing Bai Ling giving him a thumbs up, Bai Cao breathed a sigh of relief, fearing to embarrass Bai Ling.
Bai Wei was already ready to show off her eldest lady's prestige, so she cleared her throat and said:
"Both my parents are easy to talk to, and there really aren't that many rules in the family. But you also need to know who you are. If anyone dares to do anything that is disgraceful to the master's family, it will be a minor offense, but remember that?
"
Bai Wei's tone was a bit cold, but her clasped hands still betrayed her nervousness.
Bai Ling was very satisfied with Bai Wei's attitude, so he spoke calmly and warned:
"My family has a small population. The work you have to do may be tiring, but it will definitely be easier than living under the hands of a wealthy family. My parents are kind-hearted, but that does not mean they are easy to fool. Do your part and be absolutely loyal.
Your future will be indispensable in the future. The biggest rule in the family is that betrayal is never allowed, otherwise you will never be able to bear the consequences!"
"Yes, slave. I will obey the teachings of the master, the madam, the girls, and the young master." Everyone bowed.
"Mom and Dad, let's each choose someone to serve around us first, and let Uncle Fu and Aunt Fu arrange the rest." After the lecture, Bai Ling turned around and said to his family with a smile. (To be continued.
