Chapter 12 Dismissal

Huilan lay in bed for two days before coming back to her senses. The family members continued to implement the policy of one day off and one day off, allowing everyone to rest and recuperate.

On the third day, Huilan and Housekeeper Li, Manager Zhou, and Mrs. Wang looked at the list of servants to be released.

There are a total of 149 people from thirty-six households, including those in the house and the village. After these people are released, there are only about twenty people left. Excluding the elderly, there are only sixty people who can work as errands.

The call is coming.

Huilan breathed a sigh of relief. The Li family would remain intact for the next twenty years, and there would be no need for so many people. It is inevitable that people will cause trouble in their own time, so it is wisest to get together and stay away.

After the funeral, everyone on the farm who had stayed behind in Yixin had gone back. Spring plowing was imminent and there was no time to delay.

Those who want to leave are kept at relatives' houses in the house to wait for news. The matter of releasing people must be resolved before moving.

Huilan didn't want to delay the end of the mess. Today, Liu's mother started packing up the remaining things for the move with the people An Xin left behind.

So Mrs. Wang went down to check the monthly payment and reward money to be distributed. Butler Li and Manager Zhou stayed to discuss the people who would be sent to Zhuangzi after the move. From now on, no more than four households could stay in the new house, and the others would be evacuated to Zhuangzi.

I don’t know whether I should be lucky or not, but the items on the list that Huilan looked at before were all those that were given by the emperor. If the things that were given by the emperor were included, the Li family would have ten farms and eight shops.

Oh my god, why didn't you let Huilan be a man? Huilan started to blame everyone and society!

If she were a man, she would be a fourth-generation official and a fourth-generation rich man. Those Zhuangzi shops and this big house would all belong to her...

Huilan burst into tears...

Forget it, it’s already quite a lot now. Huilan meditated: extreme happiness leads to sadness, greed leads to poverty, greed leads to more than one can chew, and lack of heart leads to snakes swallowing elephants... The key is that she doesn’t want to be a shemale, so she finally calmed down!

It was said that the discussion was mainly between the two of them, with Whelan in attendance.

As a result of the discussion, the old man of the Zhou family continued to be in charge of the largest farm. In addition, they were divided into six households. Those who had been released for foster care had no children in the past, so they were allowed to take care of the elderly. Manager Zhou was responsible for inspecting the farm and serving as a link between the past and the next.

Since this year, I have added the errand of collecting the income of each farm every year, so I have no time to participate in the production of the farm.

The other Zhuangzi, regardless of whether the original steward was present or not, were all disrupted and rearranged, and each Zhuangzi was divided into two households.

Huilan emphasized that in a village that is divided into two households, if the current manager does not do well, the other one will take over. In addition, one or two of the family's shops will be taken back in the future. Those who want to learn to do business or think they have the ability in this area

You can also be prepared.

We will also organize a competition for job recruitment. Those who are in the position will be supervised and will work tirelessly, and those who are not in the position will have hope and will not give up on themselves, right?

Eggs cannot be put in the same basket. Financial management should be multi-dimensional and all-round. Huilan also has a business dream.

The two stewards were very kind and complimented her on her good ideas. Whelan smiled but said nothing. Good ideas should not be wasted. She did not say that she was original.

There are four other families left, including Li Guanjia's family, who stayed in the Li house where Huilan was rewarded.

Because according to the almanac, it is appropriate to move on March 26th, and today is already the 23rd.

So Huilan asked the two of them to help Mrs. Wang in the afternoon, and before the time was up, she summoned people to the big warehouse to sell their names and receive rewards.

This was a big deal, and it had been done long ago. Moreover, it was not enough just to mark your name on the list of servants. You also had to go to the Jingzhao Mansion Office to cancel your slave registration, and get the paperwork before you could truly become a free citizen.

Because there are too many people, Huilan asked Butler Li to handle it together tomorrow. They will go to each household one by one, and they don't know how long they will have to wait. Good people will do their best to send Buddha to the West.

There were five little girls in Huilan's house, including Liu Ye, who were about to go out. Except for Liu Ye, who was twelve years old, the others were all six or seven years old.

Except for Liu Ye, who was familiar with her, Huilan had no impression of the others. Tongyi gave him one tael of silver as a farewell gift, and Liu Ye received an extra tael of silver.

They all came in and kowtowed to express their gratitude. Huilan didn't let them kneel any longer and comforted them for a while before letting them go. Liu Ye stayed for a while longer, and the little girl cried miserably, which made Huilan and Qingguo have red eyes. Liu Ya

Hold her and cry together.

Huilan had never seen this scene before, but Qingguo persuaded them, which saved Huilan's room from being flooded.

Each of them gave Liu Ye a silver hairpin and silver earrings. Huilan was embarrassed. She also wanted to give some jewelry or something as a souvenir, but she, a little girl, only had children's things.

After saying a few words of farewell, Huilan told Liu Ye not to forget to send her a letter if something happened in the future. Liu Ye agreed and kowtowed to her before leaving.

Having been with the little girl for a month, Huilan felt a little uncomfortable. She ate some lunch and didn't sleep much during her lunch break.

At the beginning of the year, Wang's mother sent someone to invite her, and Huilan got up, dressed, and went to the warehouse with green fruits and willow buds.

Huilan was invited into the small building next to the large warehouse, where a brazier was already lit. Steward Li, Steward Zhou, and the two remaining accountants, and Mama Wang, Mama Liu, and the five remaining stewards were already on standby.

.

Thinking of the people standing in the open space outside, Huilan sighed. Colleagues who have worked together for so long will part ways after today, and they should all come to say goodbye.

Huilan took the seat and asked them all to sit down. They thanked their seats and sat down behind the long desk that had been set up. On the desk for the men was a booklet, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and an abacus; for the girls,

There were six large wooden boxes stacked in a row on the side table.

The box was full of copper coins, and the copper coins in the warehouse were left untouched just waiting for this time.

When the time came, Butler Li stood up and asked for instructions. Huilan nodded, and the farewell party officially began.

As expected, the scene was rather tragic.

Everyone who came in was invariably the head of the family who cried and complained about the new death. Some lamented the kindness of generations of the Li family and were extremely grateful. Others blamed themselves and scolded themselves for not being able to live up to their master. Without exception, they all expressed their deep feelings for Huilan.

The gratitude and sincere blessings. And the higher-ranking ones expressed their condolences to the people left behind and entrusted the little master...

Not to mention Huilan and the two girls were so moved that they burst into tears, even Butler Li and the others fell.

After working for more than an hour, I finally made it clear one by one. And because of Butler Li's generous help, all the people who had resigned from the country knelt down outside Baosha, thanked their old masters in tears and loudly said goodbye.

Huilan burst into tears on the spot and left Baoxia. She raised her voice to ask them to get up and comforted them with gentle words and gave her parting words, "You have gone out. From now on, whether you stay in Beijing or return to your hometown, whether you are doing business or farming, you must live a good life. Be law-abiding and law-abiding."

, be filial to your elders and love your relatives, and live a prosperous life. You are the people who came from the Xiangcheng uncle's house in Daqin. No matter where you go, you should hold your head high and be upright. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. I can help.

I will never ignore it. Everyone, we have a long way to go, so please take it seriously!"

After saying that, Huilan quickly stepped out of the way.

She has probably never experienced such a scene in her life, and her emotions have reached her peak today. But she is still not used to such true expressions. This is already the best she can do. The banquet must be over, so she should retreat as soon as possible, so that she can be here

Leave as soon as possible.
