Chapter 353: Cleaning up Fireworks Alley



"Those who are willing to stay will have their wages doubled in the future!"

After hearing what Qian Ruoyu said suddenly, almost everyone looked over.

Double wages is six cents of silver, which is enough for their family of three, allowing them to have enough food and clothing, and even have extra meals.

And if there are six or seven people in a family, it can also feed them all.

Silver was very valuable in this era, and six cents of silver could allow them to do a lot of things. After all, it was twice as much as before.

Qian Ruoyu naturally noticed their expectant expressions, so she continued speaking.

"Don't think you can just sit there and do nothing just because your pay has doubled. In addition to reporting to me every day, also known as signing in, you also need to split into different teams to patrol the entire fireworks alley to prevent people from causing trouble!"

"Those who are capable can stay, and those who are not capable can leave now. I will not hold you accountable for the past. But if you leave this yard and take the silver, don't even think about coming back here again!"

Six cents of silver was one of the highest salaries among all industries in the capital.

Who can easily get so much money as a salary?

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu did not say anything, but just waited for them to make their own choice.

As expected, it didn't even take an incense stick of time for almost none of the fifty people to come up and take the silver.

As long as you work hard for Qian Ruoyu for a year, you can actually get seven taels of silver. But there are only ten taels of silver on the table. If you take it, what will you eat and do next?

Therefore, all the adults present thought it through, and no one was willing to be stupid and leave this place.

After seeing that everyone agreed, Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly, and then spoke to Hua Laoliu beside him.

"It seems that the men you have trained are quite good. Since everyone is willing to stay, I am willing to reward them with a starting fee!"

"Each of you will be rewarded one tael of silver, which will be distributed to you by Hua Laoliu."

After hearing these words, everyone's faces showed surprise again. This one or two taels of silver was three times their previous salary, and they could get it easily in an instant.

Therefore, more and more people were thankful that they had not left this place, otherwise the two taels of silver would have been lost in vain.

Hua Laoliu also kept distributing silver to them, with a smile on his face. After all, if Qian Ruoyu made such arrangements, he would be able to continue to be their boss.

Although he could only be a dog under Qian Ruoyu, at least he could save some face, so he accepted it.

After that, all the silver was distributed, and fifty taels of silver were sent out at one time, but Qian Ruoyu did not feel anything in his heart.

After all, if he sold a few more bowls of potion, the fifty taels of silver would be returned, so Qian Ruoyu naturally didn't feel that it was unnecessary at all.

Qian Ruoyu then continued.

"Since you have already taken the benefits, you should go and notify all the girls in the red-light district to gather here. Have them stand in the middle of the hall, and you go to the left and right sides. Remember to have all the girls come over here!"

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's order, everyone took action. This time there was no need for Hua Laoliu to give orders. Instead, everyone was actively listening to Qian Ruoyu's words.

If you can get paid for being obedient, why not?

Before long, there were almost a hundred girls standing in the hall. The ages of these girls ranged from twenty to forty years old, and the whole hall was chattering and seemed very noisy.

Qian Ruoyu just stood there calmly, watching them quarreling, without saying anything else.

Not long after that, everyone began to quiet down because they began to notice the strange situation in the hall, especially when Hua Laoliu's men were standing on both sides, which made them dare not say anything more.

Just after everyone quieted down, Qian Ruoyu spoke calmly.

"I will be the boss here from now on. If you have any problems, you can come to me. I also have one more thing to tell you!"

While Qian Ruoyu was speaking, Jin Lianhua had already started taking out silver from the bag beside her and placing them on the table piece by piece.

The girls all turned their eyes to the silver at this time, and also began to pay attention to Qian Ruoyu's words.

"I know you have been working here for a while, but I regret to tell you that Fireworks Alley will no longer be a place of honor. I'm afraid you will be out of work!"

"But it doesn't matter. It's just a transformation. If anyone is willing to stay, you can do so now. If you don't want to stay, each of you can take twenty taels of silver from the table!"

Qian Ruoyu knew that these girls worked hard, so she chose to give them twice as much money.

After hearing this, the girls grumbled a little, but some of them started to come forward and take the silver.

People came one after another to take the silver. When they came to the table, they looked around with some worry.

Hua Laoliu said directly.

"What are you still standing there for? If I tell you to take the silver, just take it. If you want to leave, just take the silver. There is no conspiracy this time!"

After hearing what he said, everyone started to act. In an instant, only a dozen of the more than one hundred girls were left in the hall.

The others had already left with the silver.

Qian Ruoyu felt a little pain in her heart. After all, she paid so much money at once, and she had no idea where these girls would go in the future.

For a moment, Qian Ruoyu felt regretful. After all, taking out so much silver was simply giving it away for free.

But Qian Ruoyu had nothing to say at this time. At the same time, he took another look at the dozen girls who stayed behind and found that these girls had a particularly obvious characteristic, that is, they were all very young, only in their early twenties.

Qian Ruoyu could see that these people were obviously working very hard and struggling, and were not willing to directly enter under the fireworks. Perhaps they were tricked into coming in by others.

After thinking about this, Qian Ruoyu didn't say much, but spoke calmly.

"You have one last stick of incense to make your choice. If you are willing to leave, you can take the silver and go. Only those who don't want to leave can stay."
