Butler Jin had already arranged for people to clean up the room when Lin Chuyi notified him last time. Seeing Lin Chuyi bringing people over, he did not show any panic at all. He calmly took people to see their rooms and briefly explained the layout of the Lin residence to them.

Lin Chuyi was in the study room gathering her emotions and managing her facial expression. After everyone had gathered in the front yard, she came out of the study and looked at the people from the Lin residence who were lined up in two rows according to their height in the yard. Her eyes swept over the faces of each of them.

This time everyone came, in addition to the twenty people that Lin Chuyi found later, two cooks also came.

But they did not stand in the team. Instead, they stood in front of Lin Chuyi's left side with Butler Jin.

After this period of recuperation, the complexions of the people present looked much better than when Lin Chuyi first saw them.

The most important thing is that they all have a look of energy on their faces, an expression full of hope for the future.

Lin Chuyi didn't intend to talk a lot and went straight to the point.

She turned sideways and pointed at the three people standing behind her and introduced them.

"These three are the teachers I found for you. Master Lin Wenlin will be responsible for teaching you how to read and write, Master Lin Wulin will be responsible for teaching you the basics of martial arts, and Doctor Lin Miaolin will temporarily serve as our exclusive doctor."

"After today's baseline test, line up to have a physical examination with Doctor Lin. If you feel unwell, you can also go to Doctor Lin to check on you. When I'm not around, all matters in the Lin residence will be handled according to the arrangements of these three people. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone said in unison.

"Very good. After the basic assessment, you will be divided into groups according to your assessment results. The grouping notice will be posted on the bulletin board. You can go and see it yourself. From today on, the 20 of you will temporarily become official students, and each of you will receive a monthly allowance of one tael of silver."

The students standing in front of them had never thought that they could not only eat and study here, but also get paid. They were all excited.

One or two taels of silver was a lot of money for them when they were beggars. They could only earn a copper coin occasionally by begging. Even if they did not eat or drink for their entire lives, they might not be able to save up that much.

But now they can get one tael of silver every month. They never dared to dream of such a good thing before.

"At the end of each month, these three teachers will conduct a monthly assessment of your learning progress. Those who fail the assessment will be demoted to servants, with their monthly salary reduced to 100 copper coins, and will be required to perform menial tasks for one month."

"There is a quarterly assessment every three months. Those who fail the combined results of three monthly and one quarterly exams will be eliminated and receive two taels of silver as resettlement allowance. Those who receive excellent results in four assessments will have their monthly allowance increased to three taels..."

Originally they thought that 100 copper coins a month was already a lot, but after knowing that their monthly silver was one tael a month, these 100 copper coins were not enough, as the difference was ten times.

When everyone heard Lin Chuyi say that if they failed the assessment four times, they would be asked to pay and leave, they became nervous, fearing that they would be the ones to be eliminated.

Should you choose to live in a spacious and bright house, eat well every day, and get a minimum of one or two taels of silver every month as long as you work hard? Or should you choose to take two taels of silver and go out to find a place to live, worrying about where you will have food to eat every day.

They don't have to think about this question. As long as they are not fools, they know which one to choose. They don't want to be eliminated.

"What I just said is only part of the regulations. The specific behavioral norms and punishment regulations will be posted on the bulletin board this afternoon. You must remember the contents and know what to do and what not to do, so that you don't regret it when you do something wrong and receive punishment. Did you hear me?"

"heard it!"

"If you heard that, then do your best in the next few months. I will also be here for the quarterly assessment. I will take away those who pass the assessment with outstanding results."

"As for those who received average test scores, don't be disappointed. You still have the opportunity to participate in the next major test. During this period, you will study with a group of new people."

"If you still can't pass the second exam, then I'm sorry, I don't want to keep idle people here, so I can only let you go back to where you came from. Anyway, I have said what I need to say, and it's up to you to choose what to do."

"Now, go to the classroom with the teacher to take the test. Don't hide your poor performance. Your results will affect your subsequent grouping. If you want to have an easier time, write well for me."

After Lin Chuyi finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Lin Wen led the students towards the inner courtyard.

Lin Chuyi glimpsed the two cooks and Butler Jin who were still standing there, thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to take part in the assessment together?"

The scene became quiet for a moment. Butler Jin felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He raised his head and looked at Lin Chuyi, and found that her eyes were always on them.

Butler Jin's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. He quickly thought about the meaning of Lin Chuyi's words, and made gestures to remind the two people behind him.

"Ok?"

Lin Chuyi didn't hear a reply, then he remembered that he didn't mention any names, and they might not know that he was talking about them. He was about to ask again when he heard Butler Jin's answer.

"I will listen to you, young lady."

After Butler Jin said this, the two cooks also reacted and agreed.

She had no way to respond to this. Lin Chuyi thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, then I'll make the decision for you. You three can go to class after you finish your work and learn something that interests you. It won't hurt to improve yourself."

"If you feel that you are strong enough, you can also apply to the Master to participate in the assessment. If you pass the assessment, you will get a raise like them. If you can stand out in the exam, I will also take you away to a bigger place for development. As long as you continue to improve yourself and let me see your value, I can re-sign a contract with you and change it to an employment contract."

After hearing Lin Chuyi's last words, the three of them were so excited that they couldn't express it in words and almost knelt down to Lin Chuyi.

Lin Chuyi's meaning was very clear. As long as they were willing to work hard, they would have the opportunity to regain their freedom and no longer be servants who could be bought and sold at will. This would make them happier than increasing their monthly salary.

Listening to the three people's heartfelt words of gratitude, Lin Chuyi smiled and kindly reminded them: "Don't forget, there is another prerequisite. You must complete your job first."

"Of course, of course. Don't worry, young lady. The three of us will not let you down!" Butler Jin immediately assured.

"Well, I'll wait and see how you perform."
