She didn't dare to say the rest of the words, which got stuck in her mouth, for fear of being caught.
In addition to making money every day, Zhao Xiangrong chats with her neighbors when she gets home. She has now become an intelligence chief and is well-informed about every bit of information on the streets.
I heard Panxi's anxious question.
She glanced at Chen Wei and replied:
"Not all of them are from the border. Some are due to fighting at the border, and some are due to disasters in their hometowns, so they moved their families to the capital."
"I heard that disasters have occurred in several places this year, and they are quite serious."
"Alas, if they really couldn't make ends meet, they wouldn't have come to the capital to stand before the emperor."
Upon hearing this, Pan Xi devoutly chanted "Amitabha" in his heart.
She looked up at the sun blocked by clouds in the sky. It was half shaded but still seemed particularly hot and stuffy.
"Too many places have been hit by disasters this year, and it just so happens that the Huns are invading on a massive scale."
"I heard that the war was sparked by the failure of negotiations between the two sides when envoys came to our country some time ago... Taking all these events into consideration, I have a vague sense of foreboding."
Chen Wei immediately stopped Pan Xi: "Don't say these words anymore. Walls have ears, and words can cause trouble."
Pan Xi, please shut up immediately.
Chen Wei came out from behind the counter and said to everyone:
"I'm going to the martial arts gym. If there are no customers in the store, you can go home early."
"Although the capital is very safe, it's still better to be careful."
Chen Wei passed by the street and noticed that the main street was still bustling.
The refugees were driven into the alleys. Unless one looked into the alleys, the main streets of the capital still looked prosperous.
A heavy curtain passed before them.
They stared intently at the people on the street, their faces filled with dejection and longing.
It's like longing for someone to give me a piece of clothing, a bowl of porridge, or a new home where I can survive.
Chen Wei walked quickly to the martial arts hall. The door was open, but there was no one guarding it. However, just by hearing the uniform voices coming from inside, no one should dare to break in.
Xiaoying was supervising the apprentices practicing martial arts. When she saw Chen Wei coming, she asked everyone to practice on their own, and she walked towards Chen Wei.
Chen Wei glanced at the apprentices on the training ground and asked, "Why are there so many apprentices suddenly?"
"I'm afraid this one training ground isn't enough."
Xiaoying replied, "Aren't there many refugees in the capital? Those daughters of officials are much more informed than ordinary people. It's not safe for the ladies in the capital to go out."
"So, they came to our martial arts school to hire female guards, but the last wave of apprentices had just finished their training, so there were no ready-made female guards."
"Many people heard the news and rushed to the martial arts school to learn, striving to become female guards after graduation."
Chen Wei showed hesitation and said with a sigh:
"There are only so many ladies in the capital, and there are too many apprentices who want to be female guards."
"Even though the demand is high now, once the refugees are properly resettled, the various prefectures won't need so many female guards. By then, many people will inevitably be laid off."
"This group of people started learning late, and by the time they finish, they might be fired before they've even been employed for a month."
Xiaoying nodded: "I know what you are thinking. I told them the same thing when they signed up."
"If they want to learn, then let them learn. I always think that it would be much better for women if they have some skills."
"Now is an opportunity, and they are willing to learn."
