Chapter 573: Chapter 573 Overcrowded Chapter 573: Chapter 573 Overcrowded “When that time comes, those people will all be sent to various armies and serve as slaves until they reach the age of forty-five. Only then can they be brought back and resold to various residences to perform hard labor.”

Lin Caisang: “…”

So, this means that these women will be dragged into the military to serve as…uh…

“Was it always like this in the past?” Coughing lightly, she asked.

“In previous years, there would indeed be some kind-hearted mistresses who would buy a few home to serve as maids in their own households. But such people are really scarce in number. The majority still must be taken away.”

Ya Molian explained.

For the common people of other countries, few show sympathy. They think they can enslave as they please, and the act of buying maids and sending them to the military camp is a common thing.

If there are no people sent by other countries, they would even send the families of major criminals to serve as slaves in the military camp.

And these people, while they could be freed after they reached forty-five, how many can actually endure until this age? Almost none. Even if they were freed and brought to the marketplace again, wouldn’t people look down upon them, saying they came from the military camp?

“Then later, you bring me to see.”

Lin Caisang immediately said.

As for labor, she was going to buy it anyway. Buying a few more wouldn’t matter. Moreover, the people brought from Jidi would be much cheaper than those bought in the marketplace, and they are directly from the government, which makes things even more convenient.

“If you want, I can let Zhe Jue buy directly and bring them to Sang Garden for your inspection.” Ya Molian said.

“Would that be okay?”

Lin Caisang asked him, feeling somewhat inappropriate.

“Didn’t you have me take their pulse when buying those people before? You don’t need me to do that now?”

It’s one thing for her to save one or two people, but to save a large group, she’s not running a shelter, nor is she the master of a temple. She really doesn’t have the energy for that.

“No need.”

Ya Molian shook his head.

“After they are bought, they will all be fed with medicine. Simply put, in order to get rid of them quickly and make a profit, neither the people from Beiguo nor from Liang Kingdom will allow them to have descendants. You don’t need to worry about that.”

“That’s really ruthless.”

Upon hearing his words, Lin Caisang couldn’t help but mutter.

“Ruthless?”

Ya Molian looked at her with a smile, asking quietly.

She hadn’t seen anything more ruthless yet, and he didn’t want her to know about it now.

“Then is there any need to have Jiang Li tame them a bit?” Lin Caisang asked.

“No need.”

Ya Molian shook his head.

Being released from the government and going through the hands of the cruelly stern nanny, the generals, and soldiers who escorted them, there’s no need for further taming. They’re already obedient and docile. However, they still needed someone to control them, that’s for sure.

“Just find a strong-willed person to lead them.”

“Alright.”

Lin Caisang nodded.

“I am going to check on the rice seeds, do you want to come along?”

Having said that, she almost forgot that she came here to check on her rice seeds which were almost ready for germination.

“Let’s go.”

Ya Molian naturally planned to go along.

A few days later, Zhe Jue was sent by Ya Molian to Yejun to buy maids. Back in Ya Village, up on Manghuang Mountain, Lin Caisang had already finished arranging the paddy fields and began sowing the well-kept rice seeds.

Since she was harvesting one set of rice on one side and preparing to plant another season of rice on the same side, the news of Lin Caisang’s actions quickly spread throughout the village.

The news didn’t stop at Ya Village, it even spread to Yueya Town. Curious people flocked to the scene, turning Manghuang Mountain into a crowded area, bustling with people almost on a daily basis.
