Lin Hai smiled and said:
"Bai Ang, you don't have to be so uneasy. Zhen'er isn't a petty person." Lin Hai said this, and found an angle where Shi Zhen'er couldn't see him, so he winked at Bai Ang and said, "But since it's a rare visit from you, I'll ask a few more questions."
Seeing this, Bai Ang understood what Lin Hai meant and quickly bowed and said yes.
"Tell me, if you were still young and unmarried, would you want these palace maids?"
Bai Ang didn't think twice and just shook his head:
"Of course not. To be honest, other masters are also helpless in finding palace maids, but for someone like me, I'm afraid that my wife has been decided as soon as I was born, or at least whose daughter it is. After all, although the Bai family was not a famous family in the empire back then, there have always been people who served as officials throughout the generations, so the title of a noble family is inevitable."
Bai Ang said this, looked around, and found that Lin Hai and Shi Zhen'er were quite interested, so he continued:
"For us, the sons of aristocratic families, the most important things when it comes to marrying a wife are her identity and background. Even if it's just a simple concubine, the family has to thoroughly investigate the woman's family. Who would dare to marry a woman with an unknown identity, unknown background, and unknown temperament?
You know, because a palace maid is associated with the imperial palace, her background and experiences in the palace are easily linked to certain taboos, making it very difficult to investigate. Furthermore, a palace maid is just a servant in the palace, so her true nature is difficult to reveal, making it difficult to investigate. Therefore, marrying her is not a good idea and will bring a lot of trouble, so naturally people are reluctant to marry her.
Bai Ang's words made Lin Hai nod repeatedly. Such news about the upper echelons of the royal family, even if it was only related to palace maids, could easily arouse everyone's interest. As expected, the more hidden the gossip is, the more it makes people itch.
Lin Hai also understood that although a family like the Bai family could not do whatever they wanted in the Daliang Empire, it was a family that had been passed down for hundreds of years. In order to pass on its inheritance safely, such a family would definitely set various restrictions for itself. They would not touch women like palace maids who were too politically influenced.
But palace maids came from the imperial palace after all. According to the laws of the Daliang Empire, as long as they were palace maids, they had ranks. Although no one took the ranks seriously, and the ranks of the palace maids dismissed this time were not high, this was not noticeable.
But this is also the reason why the people under him value it.
Once you have a rank, you are no longer an ordinary woman.
Although he could see the little thoughts of those guys, Lin Hai didn't take it seriously.
As a young person, it is a good thing to have some pursuits.
As long as it is legal, people can marry whoever they want, and Qinghe Bo has no right to interfere.
Anyway, these palace maids have been screened countless times, and there should be no spies left by Yan Zipei among them.
If there is still something else, it means that your methods are not as good as others, so it’s no loss if you fail.
Besides, Lin Hai didn’t think that he could turn his men against him with just a little bit of female beauty.
You should know that women may be what men pursue at a certain period, but as time passes, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she will find that only power and achievement are men's eternal pursuit.
So Yan Zipei can't compete with me for that person, he's not worthy!
However, when thinking about this, Lin Hai noticed another problem, that is, the number of palace maids this time was actually not enough.
Two hundred seems like a lot, but after sifting out the sand, removing those who went to hide in Xia State, and removing those who have married on their own, it seems that it cannot cover all the people in need in the upper class of Qinghe.
After all, Lin Hai had promised that everyone should get a few.
Moreover, after the continuous war, many mid-level officers also need wives...
Well, that's a problem.
After all, before this, they might not have been picky.
But after that, especially after someone had married a palace maid.
Anyone who doesn't have a palace maid as his wife will probably be unable to hold his head up in front of his colleagues.
At this time, Lin Hai looked at Shi Zhener again and found that Shi Zhener had really grown up. He now understood Shi Zhener's true intention.
"Bai Ang, they're all out. There's something I have to ask you to do."
Lin Hai said calmly.
"Please let the Lord know."
"There are many maids in the Khmer Royal Palace. Of course, there are also many eunuchs, cooks, grooms, and so on. There are too many people for me to use."
Lin Hai seemed not to notice Bai Ang's gradually growing expression of shock and continued:
"I will even move out of the Khmer Royal Palace soon and find a smaller, more convenient place to live. So you will take care of things here. Keep the necessary staff to maintain the palace, and dismiss the others. Be kind to them so they can make a living. As for the palace's treasures, store them all in the warehouse."
At this point, Lin Hai seemed to recall something and added, "If the palace maids want to get married, I can help them arrange it. After all, if the palace maids in Daliang Palace can get married, then naturally the maids in my palace can get married too. I can't let people accuse me of favoritism."
