Chapter 133
Because the officers and soldiers killed by Zhang Xianzhong all came from Chongqing, and most of them entered Chengdu through the East Gate. For convenience, the wounded barracks occupied the original garrison barracks near the East Gate.

According to Aimee Zhu's plan, the nurse battalion is currently serving the wounded barracks, and the site of the camp is naturally chosen near the wounded barracks.

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

Early in the morning, Li Qiao and Chen Mei first took a stack of "recruitment notices" written by someone else to the place where the government offices in the city posted the notices and pasted them.

It's not that the two have the awareness to protect the city's appearance, but that these days, only bulletins posted on places like "government bulletin boards" 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 even be arrested and come to your door to see if you intend to spread rumors or use false information to deceive the people.

Of course, not everyone can post bulletins on the "government bulletin board", it must be a government agency.

Ordinary merchants generally can only advertise inside and outside their own stores.

However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, these regulations were not so strictly managed. If you had a relationship with the government, or spent money to open up a relationship, you could use the "government bulletin board" to advertise, or advertise anywhere in the city.

The nurse battalion is an organization established by Aimee Zhu, so it's not a problem to post a list on the "government bulletin board".

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

Under the urging of Aimee Zhu, various departments of the government preliminarily rectified 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 seek refuge.

Now the city of Chengdu looks more prosperous than the previous two years.

As soon as Chenshi arrived (at [-] o'clock in the morning), there was already a feeling of pedestrians on the street.

Official bulletin boards are generally set up at street intersections, or other places where pedestrians often pass by, and there are naturally more people at this time.

The two women, Li Qiao and Chen Mei, just started posting things here, and they attracted a lot of attention.

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

The scholar had just finished speaking when a rich man said, "I'm afraid this brother is not familiar with Chengdu City?"

"That's right, I'm from Hezhou. I came to Chengdu with my family to avoid Zhang's bandit."

"No wonder." The rich man laughed, "Brother, didn't you notice that the two girls are dressed in the same style? They are the maids of the Shu Palace."

The scholar listened for a while without turning his head, and said: "The maids of the Shu Palace can post words on the official list?"

After finishing speaking, the scholar suddenly remembered, now the Shu Palace seems to be the princess's supervisor's mansion?

Could it be that these two maids are posting announcements for the Jian Guo Mansion?
Thinking of this, the scholar immediately regained his spirits, and stood aside, wanting to see the content of the list as soon as possible.

The rich man didn't leave either.

More and more people around.

Most of them may not know how to read, they are just looking at it curiously, waiting to hear others read the list.

But there are also a few, like scholars and rich sons, who think that the two maids are posting announcements for the Jian Guofu.

More than half a month ago, when the Jianguo Mansion was first established, a notice was posted to recruit a group of civil servants.

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

After all, it is the Jianguo Mansion, which assists Her Highness the Princess in supervising the country.

It's a pity that Jian Guofu only recruited dozens of people at that time, and it didn't recruit any more, which made many scholars who entered Chengdu later, including some Juren, feel very regretful.

Now it seems that the Jian Guofu is going to recruit again, so of course they have to seize the opportunity.

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

Set up a nurse battalion to recruit nurses who specialize in caring for wounded soldiers?
Isn't that just recruiting handymen?
This kind of thing still uses the official list to post notices?
Moreover, it also said that it does not matter whether men or women... recruiting women into the army camp to take care of wounded soldiers, isn't that just looking for official prostitutes?
What kind of system is this?
Just when many scholars were either dumbfounded or in a mess, Li Qiao and Chen Mei read the "recruitment notice" loudly after posting it.

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

A five-year-old woman who looked at a woman in her forties asked loudly, "Girl, what does the monthly salary of seven renminbi mean?"

Li Qiao said with a smile: "It means a salary of seven qian qian per month, and if you do well, there will be a bonus."

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

It should be noted that the current Chengdu is not as expensive as it was in the capital half a year ago. For ordinary people, the monthly salary of seven renminbi is quite high.

Another thoughtful woman next to him said: "Really, let us take care of the wounded soldiers seriously? Could it be that he did some shameful things?"

Li Qiao put on a pretty face when she heard this, and said: "The nurse camp was established by the order of Her Royal Highness, how could people do shameful things?

And didn't you hear, we only accept older women between the ages of 35 and 55.

It's just recruiting a young lady of your age and appearance, what can you do that is shameful?Even if you are willing, the wounded soldiers may not be happy! "

The woman was puzzled by the old face said, and fled amidst the laughter of the people around her.

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

Now there are more than [-] wounded soldiers in the wounded battalion, and there is not enough manpower, so the princess asked me to set up a nurse battalion.

This nurse is dedicated to taking care of wounded soldiers, and she does things like changing gauze, washing clothes, changing beds, cooking, boiling medicine, and cleaning the barracks.

If you do such a simple job elsewhere, you may not get a penny a month, but you can get at least seven pennies in our nurse camp.

If someone with outstanding ability can serve as the nurse team leader or nurse leader, he can even get eight coins or even one tael of silver.

Such a good job, you may not be able to find it in the city of Chengdu even with a lantern.

And we only recruit 300 people this time, if you arrive late, you might not be able to get selected. "

In Daming, the female relatives of wealthy families such as gentry and landlords might not stay out of the door, but the women of ordinary people’s families are not like this, and in a big city like Chengdu, many women are Work outside to make money like men.

So there are quite a lot of women among the pedestrians on this street.

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

Therefore, after listening to Li Qiao's speech, many women immediately shouted.

"Girl, I can do this job!"

"Girl choose me, I am the best at taking care of people."

"I can do laundry, cook, boil medicine and sweep the floor. Choose me?"

"···"

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

When they came back to their senses, the scholars who had hoped that the Jian Guo Mansion would recruit civil servants couldn't help sighing.

"It's really corrupt. The wounded barracks are also barracks. It doesn't look good to let rough envoy women in to take care of people."

"That's right, it's just some big soldiers. I heard that they were prisoners deliberately released by Zhang Thief to disturb our army's morale. I really don't know why the princess treats them so favorably."

"Hey, as I said earlier, there is no such thing as a princess supervising a country in ancient times. The arrangement of the late emperor is really the way to subjugate the country."

"Brother Gongsheng, be careful..."

Li Qiao and Chen Mei also heard what the scholars in the crowd said, but they didn't bother to pay attention.

They only talk to women who actively ask questions.

"Ma'am, we're just here to post the recruitment notice, and you need to go to the wounded barracks to sign up."

"Go quickly, we have someone interviewing at the gate of the wounded barracks, as long as you pass the interview, you will be a nurse in the nurse camp."

"Pay? No need to pay, as long as the age is between 35 and 55, just go."

"···"

For a while, Li Qiao and Chen Mei were overwhelmed by the older women.

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

Some men began to hear that nurses also recruited men, so they were going to inquire and sign up.

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

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

But if you work with a large group of women, it will be too embarrassing to spread the word.

 Sorry for the delay today, the second update is late.

  There will be another one tonight.
