“Oh, dad, we have quite a few courtyards now and the area is quite expanse. We will need more manpower to help maintain this new place of ours. Can you send a letter to the officials of Qing’an Province and have them send some good help over? Preferably they have already been trained. We don’t have the time to hand hold each of the after their arrival!”

“Xiao Xiao, are you sure about that?” asked Cheng Biyuan, baffled. He didn’t expect her daughter to have asks from the officials.

“Sure! Sure!” smiled Cheng Xiao Xiao. She would not have said that in the past. But since the dimension has the ability to make others recognize her as their mistress, she was confident that even spies for others would be converted.

Cheng Biyuan was a bit surprised at his daughter’s words, but he has a lot of faith in her so he nodded and said, “If Xiao Xiao think that’s acceptable, let’s do it. I will send the officials a letter first thing tomorrow and have them send us some helps. By the way, how many do you want them to send?”

“Well, that you will have to ask mom!” Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t well verse with something like that. After all, she never had experience managing a large family like this.

Mrs. Cheng gave it some serious thoughts and said, “Our family are not big, but we have a lot of guests. We will need a lot of headcount. I think at least a hundred!”

“A hundred?” frowned Cheng Biyuan, “If we are going to recruit people, let’s get a few more all at the same time so we won’t have to worry about it again any time soon. I am thinking sixty maids and sixty male servants. That should be enough!”

“Okay, that works too!” Mrs. Cheng agreed without further comments.

With that one statement, the Cheng’s would add a hundred head counts shortly.

Cheng Xiao Xiao felt a little uncomfortable. Could that be a bit overboard?
