Xu Zhi had already made up her mind. Not only did she need to borrow the hundred soldiers brought from Wuzhou from the Feng family, but she also needed to borrow some maids from the Marquis's residence. Every morning, she would come early to check the belongings of those who came to do the work. At this time, she had to guard against any accidents, even if there was only the slightest possibility.

Xu Zhi went to the Feng residence in person. Prime Minister Feng happened to be on leave today. Xu Zhi didn't stand on ceremony and directly stated the purpose of her visit. She also sincerely said that the one hundred soldiers would be properly settled in the south of the city, and she would provide them with three meals a day and give them extra subsidies.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Feng remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was quite astonished. It was said that the younger generation of the Xu family was not as good as the younger generation, and now it seemed that this was indeed the case. Among the Xu family generation that Prime Minister Feng knew, several of the people who came into his sight had performed very well. This Xu Zhi was actually the first time Prime Minister Feng had met her, but he had heard a lot about her.

After Xu Zhi finished speaking, Prime Minister Feng nodded and said, "We, the Feng family, will naturally have no objection to Madam Zheng's request. However, it is really difficult to arrange for more than a hundred people. How about I have these hundred people divided into several shifts and take turns going to the south of the city?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "I am very grateful for your consideration, Prime Minister. However, the house in the south of the city is mainly for cotton-padded clothes to be sent to Wuzhou. We may also make some other military supplies later. I plan to rent that house long-term. Although it is a bit simple now, it is fine for daily life."

Prime Minister Feng nodded and had no choice but to hand everyone over to Xu Zhi. Xu Zhi had already arranged for people to rent two courtyards near the residence. Next year is the year of the imperial examination. Although the south of the city is the worst place in the entire capital, the rent here is cheap. Many courtyards are rented to candidates from other places who have come to the capital for the imperial examinations. The two courtyards nearby are occupied by candidates who have come to the capital. In order to rent the residence, Xu Zhi had to go to a better location and rent a residence at a high price to settle these people. Only then could the residence be considered rented.
