Chapter 132

Because the officers and soldiers who were killed by Zhang Xianzhong came from Chongqing, most of them entered Chengdu through the East City Gate. For convenience, the wounded barracks occupied the original garrison barracks near the East City Gate.

According to Zhu Yuluo's plan, the nurse camp currently mainly serves the wounded soldiers' camp, so the camp location was naturally chosen near the wounded soldiers' camp.

Therefore, the location where Forsythia and others recruited nurses was also near the East City Gate.

Early that morning, Li Qiao and Chen Mei took a stack of "recruitment notices" written by someone else and went to various places in the city where government posts were posted.

It's not that the two of them have the consciousness to protect the appearance of the city, but these days, only the announcements posted on the "official bulletin board" can win the trust of the people.

Otherwise, if you post big-character posters anywhere, not only will you not be trusted by the people, you may also be arrested and come to see if you intentionally spread rumors or use false information to deceive the people.

Of course, not just anyone can post on the "official bulletin board", it must be a government agency.

Ordinary businesses can generally only post listings inside and outside their own stores.

However, in the late Ming Dynasty, these regulations were actually not so strict. If you had connections in the government, or spent money to establish connections, you could also use the "official bulletin board" to advertise, or advertise at will in the city.

The Nurse Camp was an institution established by Zhu Aelao, so there was no problem in posting it on the "official bulletin board".

Now it has been more than half a month since Zhu Yulao led the Red Lady Division to enter Chengdu, and the panic in the city is no longer as it was in early July.

Various government departments also made initial adjustments under Zhu Yuluo's supervision and did a lot of practical things.

In addition, Zhang Xianzhong had sent troops to attack Chengdu, so many wealthy families came to Chengdu to take refuge.

Today, Chengdu seems to be more prosperous than it was two years ago.

As soon as we arrived at Chenshi (around 7 a.m.), the streets were already filled with people.

Government bulletin boards are usually set up at street intersections or other places where pedestrians often pass by, when there are naturally more people.

Li Qiao and Chen Mei attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as they started posting things here.

A scholar kindly reminded: "You two girls, this is a place where the government publishes lists, and you can't post things randomly."

As soon as the scholar finished speaking, a rich man said, "Isn't this brother familiar with the city of Chengdu?"

"That's right, I'm from Hezhou, and my family came to Chengdu to take refuge from Zhang's thieves."

"No wonder." The rich man smiled and said, "Brother, didn't you notice that these two girls wear the same style? They are the maids of the Prince of Shu's palace."

The scholar listened without turning his head for a while and said: "Can the maid of the Prince of Shu's palace post words on the official list?"

Just after he finished speaking, the scholar suddenly remembered that now the Prince of Shu's palace seems to have become the princess's supervisory palace?

Could it be that these two maids were posting notices for the prison government?

Thinking of this, the scholar immediately became energetic and stood aside to see the content of the announcement immediately.

The rich man didn't leave either.

More and more people gathered around.

Most of them may not know the words, they just look at them and wait to hear others read the essays.

But there are also a few who, like scholars and wealthy young men, think that the two maids are posting the notices for the government.

More than half a month ago, when the Supervisory Office was first established, a list was posted to recruit a group of civil servants.

Although he was only a minor official, he still overwhelmed many scholars.

After all, it was the Supervisory Office, and it was to assist Her Royal Highness Princess in supervising the country.

It is a pity that the Supervisory Office only recruited a few dozen people at that time, and no more were recruited. This made many scholars who later entered Chengdu, including some scholars, regretful.

Now it seems that the prison government is recruiting more people, so of course they have to seize the opportunity.

However, when Li Qiao and Chen Mei posted the articles on the list, those scholars who were looking forward to it were dumbfounded when they saw it.

Establish a nurse camp to recruit nurses who specialize in caring for wounded soldiers?

Isn't that just recruiting handymen?

Do you still use the official list to post notices for this kind of thing?

Moreover, it says that regardless of gender... recruiting women into the military camp to take care of the wounded soldiers, isn't that just looking for official prostitutes?

How is this appropriate?

While many scholars looked confused or confused, Li Qiao and Chen Mei read the "recruitment notice" loudly to themselves after posting it.

After finishing reading, Li Qiao said: "If you don't understand anything, just ask us."

A tall and thick-set man, looking at a woman in her forties, asked loudly: "Girl, what does the monthly salary of seven cents of silver mean this month?"

Li Qiao smiled and said: "It's a monthly salary of seven silver coins. If you do well, there will be bonuses."

The woman was full of disbelief when she heard this, "Is there such a good thing?"

Next to me, a thoughtful woman said, "Are you really asking us to take care of the wounded soldiers seriously? Are you asking us to do something shameful?"

After hearing this, Li Qiao had a pretty face and said: "We established the nurse camp under the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess, how could we let people do shady things?

And didn't you hear just now that we only recruit older women between the ages of thirty-five and fifty-five?

Even if you are my age and look like me, what shady things can you do? Even if you are willing, you may not be happy if you are wounded!"

The woman looked confused and ran away amidst the laughter of the people around her.

Li Qiao didn't care and continued: "Everyone knows that Zhang Thief committed evil and injured many officers and soldiers.

Now there are more than a thousand wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks, and there is not enough manpower. The princess then ordered us to set up a nurse camp.

This nurse specializes in taking care of wounded soldiers, and does things like changing gauze, washing clothes, changing beds, cooking, making medicine, and cleaning the barracks.

For such a simple job, you might not be able to earn a single penny a month for doing such a simple job elsewhere, but in our nurse camp you can earn at least seven pence.

If you have outstanding ability and can serve as a nurse team leader or nurse team leader, you can even get eight yuan or even one tael of silver.

You can't find such a good job even with a lantern in Chengdu.

Moreover, we are only recruiting 300 people this time, so if you arrive late, you may not even be selected."

In the Ming Dynasty, the women of wealthy families such as gentry and landowners might not be able to leave the front door or step outside the second door, but this was not the case for women from ordinary people's families. And in big cities like Chengdu, many women were

Just like men, work outside to make money.

Therefore, there are many women among the pedestrians on the street.

It's not easy to find a job these days, let alone one that pays so well.

Therefore, after listening to Li Qiao's words, many women immediately started shouting.

"Girl, I can do this job!"

"Girl, choose me, I'm the best at taking care of others."

"I can do everything from washing, cooking, cooking, and sweeping the floor. Choose me?"

“···”

Some scholars who were standing closest to the official list were suddenly pushed aside or behind by a group of stout women.

After coming back to their senses, the scholars who had previously been looking forward to recruiting civil servants from the Supervisory Office couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really a bad atmosphere. The wounded barracks are also barracks. Even if rough women are allowed to go in and take care of people, it doesn't look good."

"They are just some big soldiers. I heard that they were the prisoners who were deliberately released by Thief Zhang to upset the morale of our army. I really don't know why the princess treated them so favorably."

"Hey, I've said it before. It's unprecedented in ancient times for a princess to supervise the country. The late emperor's arrangement is really the way to subjugate the country."

"Brother Gongsheng, be careful what you say..."

Li Qiao and Chen Mei also heard the words of the scholars in the crowd, but were too lazy to pay attention to them.

They only paid attention to women who asked questions enthusiastically.

"Honey, we are just here to post recruitment notices. To sign up, you need to go to the wounded barracks."

"Go quickly, we have people conducting interviews at the entrance of the wounded barracks. As long as you pass the interview, you will be a nurse in the nursing camp."

"Pay? No need to pay. As long as you are between thirty-five and fifty-five, just go."

“···”

For a moment, Li Qiao and Chen Mei were directly overwhelmed by the elderly women.

They originally planned to post notices near the other three city gates, but now it seems that this may not be necessary.

Some men began to hear that nurses also recruit men, and they planned to inquire and sign up.

But when they saw so many women going, they all calmed down.

As a man, there is nothing wrong with taking care of wounded soldiers.
