Chapter 452: Buying People

"What good solution?" Di Yelei asked anxiously.

Everyone else also looked up impatiently.

Liu Sisi asked casually, "Ye Lei, if you go for corvee labor, will you only carry burdens by breaking the ice and moving stones? Is there any other kind of work?"

"There are some other jobs. For example, at the time of last year's spring military recruitment, not only those who could read and write served as clerks, but also women replaced their sons in service. When people are pushed to the limit, they always think of various ways."

The ability to afford schooling was not a common trait, so not many people could read and write.

No wonder once someone could read, they were caught to be made into clerks to record some documents.

Of course, Father had no intention to enlist, and Old Cheng looked like he couldn't read, so this path wouldn't work. It seemed that the only way was to change the method.

Di Yelei saw Liu Sisi silent and naturally became anxious!
