If it were on Earth, let alone more than a thousand people, even if the number increased tenfold, Tang Xiaobao would not have to worry.
But this is the primitive continent.
Crystals are hard currency, money that is not only used for cultivation, but also for buying things and daily expenses.
And he really doesn't have much savings here.
Tang Xiaobao was a little overwhelmed.
But when he saw the people below, he couldn't immediately tell them to leave.
Such a large headquarters, like a county town, actually has more than a thousand people, which is not really a lot.
We can’t drive them all away!
After a few casual words, Tang Xiaobao announced the disbandment.
Then he pulled the housekeeper and Xiao Jian aside and asked impatiently, "Can we reduce the staff?"
"What does it mean to downsize and lay off employees?"
The housekeeper didn't understand.
Tang Xiaobao explained: "We are just letting some people go. We can't afford to support so many people. It costs one million crystals a month. Where can I get it?"
"Commander, they are all your people. If we let them out, they will have nowhere to live and they will starve to death."
"Pfft, is it that serious?"
"That's actually true. According to the rules of our Red Fire City, servants must serve for life and are not allowed to leave at will. That's against the law. Besides, most of them are poor people. Without this job, they would be unemployed. And there's another point. Such a large mansion cannot be left without someone to take care of it. More than a thousand people is really not a lot."
Xiao Jian also said.
Tang Xiaobao was embarrassed: "But it costs one million crystals a month, where can I get the money?"
"Oh, so the commander is still worried about this. Well, don't worry. One million crystals is not a lot. It's just your salary, which is one million every month. In addition, the salaries of our guards are also distributed by the Princess's Mansion. So, you don't have to worry about it at all."
Xiao Jian said.
Tang Xiaobao was stunned and asked the housekeeper: "Is that so?"
The butler nodded.
Tang Xiaobao felt relieved.
Fortunately, fortunately, the monthly salary is one million crystals. If He Qing lost this position, it would be a real loss.
"Okay, okay, that's great. By the way, I'm going to go back and rest. You guys can go about your business."
After Tang Xiaobao finished speaking, he went straight back to his bedroom.
As soon as I entered the door, four beautiful girls, about fifteen or sixteen years old, came forward and knelt together: "Welcome, Master."
"What? What are you doing? Don't be so polite. Please stand up quickly."
Tang Xiaobao said quickly.
He is not used to this.
Return to the master...
It's not like he was taken as a slave.
But when the four girls stood up, they looked at Tang Xiaobao very nervously.
"Owner."
One of them whispered.
"What's wrong? Why are you here?"
Tang Xiaobao asked.
The woman said, "My name is Chunlan, and the other three are Xiazhu, Qiuju, and Dongmei. We are your personal maids, and we usually serve you with your daily needs. That's why we live here too."
Tang Xiaobao was shocked: "What, you live here too?"
"Yes."
Chunlan's face turned slightly red as she spoke.
Tang Xiaobao frowned.
Is this what bed warmer means?
He walked into the bedroom and quickly discovered the problem.
Outside her couch, there was a curtain and a large bed. It seemed that they should be living here.
It was really awkward for a grown man like me to be in the same room with four women.
Tang Xiaobao coughed and said, "From today on, you don't have to worry about my food and daily life, and you don't have to live with me anymore."
"Owner."
Chunlan cried out.
The four maids knelt down together.
They were actually trembling.
Chunlan's eyes turned red and tears came out.
"Master, do you not want us anymore? Do you dislike us? Please don't chase us away."
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Who said I was going to kick you out? I just went to find the housekeeper to arrange other things for you. I don't need anyone to wait on me here. I have good hands and feet, so why do I need you to serve me?"
Tang Xiaobao had a black line on his forehead.
No matter what he said, the women refused to leave.
In the end, he almost went crazy.
Chunlan actually pulled out the hairpin from her head and put it against her throat, threatening to commit suicide.
If they were really driven away, these women would die on the spot.
Tang Xiaobao had no friendship or feelings with them. Logically speaking, whether they lived or died had nothing to do with him.
But he is not a cruel person after all.
She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, still a young girl. He must feel guilty because she died because of his rejection.
He couldn't understand why he had to commit suicide just to change his job.
But in the end, he compromised.
"Alright, alright, stay here if you want. I won't chase you away. Hurry up and don't try to commit suicide again."
Tang Xiaobao waved his hands and said unhappily.
Chunlan stood up, put away her hairpin, and said, "As long as the master doesn't drive us away, we will naturally serve him well."
Tang Xiaobao sat down.
Several women served tea and brought some exquisite snacks.
Then they stood aside and waited respectfully.
Tang Xiaobao felt particularly uncomfortable.
He took a sip of tea and asked curiously, "Chunlan, tell me, what kind of work do you usually do?"
"Ah, we will help you change clothes and bathe, warm your bed, take care of your food and travel, etc. As long as you have any needs, we will satisfy you without hesitation."
