After more than an hour of work, all the palace maids have been registered. After statistics, a total of 1,215 palace maids have been registered. According to the origin of the palace maids, they are: 612 people in the Manchu Banner, 325 people in the Han Banner, 83 people in the Meng Banner, and 195 people in the Han nationality.

At the beginning of the founding of the Qing Dynasty, palace maids were selected from Baoyi of Shangsanqi, who were under the control of the family of 13 years old, and later expanded to all the Eight Banners of Manchus. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty, many bannermen with good families were unwilling to send their daughters to the palace. After all, most people knew that life in the palace was not easy, and if something happened to his daughter in the palace, it might also affect the entire family, so they tried their best to escape. Anyway, the selection of palace maids was handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as long as the points were taken into consideration. , then you can get through. Most of the people who come to the palace to become palace maids are poor families. Therefore, the selection of palace maids has also been expanded to Han Banner. Meng Banner is actually the daughter of the Han nationality, but it is still mainly based on the Manchu Banner. Moreover, the Han palace maids in the palace can only do some heavy work, serving the empress dowager, emperor, empress, and little princes, and princes, who are so prestigious, can only be Manchu palace maids. However, there are actually a large number of Han nationalities in the Manchu Banners. In fact, in fact, Han palace maids are still mostly Han nationalities in the palace.

From the perspective of age, the youngest among palace maids is 14 years and 10 months old, the oldest is only 31 years and 5 months old, and there are 973 people under the age of 20, but only 6 people over 30 years old. The overall age is relatively young, with 17 and 8 years old accounting for the majority. It can be said that from the perspective of age structure, it is indeed very suitable. Even if you are over 30 years old, it is not too old, because there are still many 4 or 50-year-olds in the Time Travel Group, which can be completely sold out.

After all the work was done, Zhou Ping asked the palace maids to pack their luggage immediately after they went back, and gather in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony tomorrow morning to eat breakfast on the train. And try to bring less luggage, it is best to bring only personal clothes, jewelry, gold and silver, and some small items, and not bring thick and bulky items. When leaving tomorrow to the train station, everyone's luggage is carried by themselves. If there are too many things to pack, don't blame others if you can't carry them.

That night, a special train drove to Beijing, with a total of 15 carriages, including 12 passenger cars, a coal-water truck, a dining truck, and a soldier escorted by the car.

The person who was responsible for the full management of the palace maids in the car was a female officer who traveled through time, named *, who was the squad leader of the steering squad on the Kunming ship. After the promotion, he is now in the rank of lieutenant colonel. The crossing group attached great importance to this task. In each carriage, two female officers and four naturalized female locals were arranged to responsibilities. * personally led 6 female officers and 10 naturalized female locals to manage the entire carriage and handle emergency incidents. In addition, there were escorts from a company of soldiers.

In fact, the entire journey from Beijing to Tianjin is basically under the control of the Crossing Group, and there are garrisons of the People's Army along the way. There are at least 4 trains from Beijing to Tianjin every day, and there are no soldiers escorting them. However, because the personnel transported this time are special, the security work is relatively strict.

The next morning, before dawn, the palace maids brought their bags and bags they packed last night to gather in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and stood according to the groups assigned yesterday. Although the queue was not neat, it was still orderly. However, yesterday Zhou Ping repeatedly warned the palace maids to bring as little as possible, but each person still brought at least two bags, and most people brought three bags, usually carrying a smaller one on their body and then carrying a larger one on one in one hand.

Although life in the palace is not easy, the material life is still very rich, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation are not harsh. Although most palace maids dare not even eat enough, this is not because they do not have enough food, and the palace maids who serve in front of the empress dowager, emperor, empress, and princess have no such concern and can eat as much as they can.

The clothes, rouge, water powder, etc. of the palace maids are provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The regular clothes, shoes, rouge, water powder and jewelry are distributed as usual all year round. The Ministry of Internal Affairs generally dare not easily deduct them. Naturally, the cost of the palace will not be bad. Even if it is used by the palace maids, it is a top-notch product among the people. Moreover, the palace maids still have a certain monthly monthly money to get. Every festive day of the festival, the Queen Mother, the Queen's birthday, the Emperor's wedding, etc., there will be routine rewards.

The palace maids of Empress Dowager Hou, the emperor, the empress, the little masters, and the princess often have additional rewards. In addition, the palace maids can also use their spare time to make needlework and thread, ask someone to sell them outside, and subsidize their income. Therefore, when the difference in the palace for several years, each palace maid will accumulate some clothes, jewelry, money and personal belongings. Sometimes when the family visits relatives, they can hand them over to the family to bring them back, and some will keep them themselves and take them away when they leave the palace as the basis for their second generation's life.

Now that the palace maids are leaving the palace, they naturally don’t want to throw away anything. As a result, most of the palace maids have put three packages on them, including gold, silver and valuable items, clothes, shoes and other items, and then another package. A few palace maids even brought four bags, so they specially brought a stick to carry them.

Zhou Ping was also a little amused and laughed. She thought to herself that there was still a long way from the palace to the railway station, and she knew that it was hard to get on the way. However, Zhou Ping also knew that most of the things she took were the hard work accumulated by the palace maids for several years in the palace, so it was difficult to stop them. She thought that if someone could not take it, she would arrange for someone to help them. After all, these things were all exchanged for their blood and sweat.

After each group had finished placing the names and confirming that the personnel were all here, the palace maids set out under the command of the time traveler, and left the palace under the protection of the army and headed to the Temple of Heaven Station.

From the palace to the Temple of Heaven, you have to pass through Zhengyang Gate. At this time, the sky has just turned bright. Although there are not many people getting up early, there are still some. A large number of young women travel in line and the army is defending both sides. This scene is not common even in the previous Beijing city. Some knowledgeable Beijingers can still recognize that these women are wearing palace maids' costumes, so they are more interested and stop by the roadside to watch and discuss.

However, the team ignored the waiting crowd and marched very quietly. Even the palace maids rarely spoke. Zhou Ping thought that many palace maids could not carry their luggage, but they knew that these palace maids were carrying their own things, and no one seemed to be struggling or unable to carry them. As a result, no one needed help.

Zhou Ping was also quite moved. Most of the palace maids were 17 or 8 years old. In the old time and space, they were junior high school students. At the age of high school students, they were spoiled by their parents at home. They usually felt tired when carrying a schoolbag. Compared with these palace maids, it seems that the palace is indeed a place to train people.

The entire team marched for about 40 minutes and arrived at the Temple of Heaven Station. At this time, a green train was parked on the platform and waiting. The chimney of the locomotive was emitting thick black smoke. The travelers and followers who were responsible for transporting the palace maids stood in front of their respective cars. The soldiers stood in a row along the platform.

Seeing that the team came, someone came over immediately and led the palace maids to stand in front of their carriage doors, and instructed them to put down their bags, take a breath for a while, and rest for a while. It was only then that the palace maids seemed a little excited, because most people saw the train for the first time, so they were very curious. Many people pointed at the train and spoke softly. However, they still seemed very sensible. Not only were they not speaking loudly, but everyone just put the bags on the ground, but no one sat down or pedaled them.

The team leader was wearing a combat camouflage uniform and carrying a gun strap across his back, looking very capable. He came to Zhou Ping and raised his hand to salute, saying, "Director Zhou."

Zhou Ping returned the tribute and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Zhao, thank you for your hard work."

It turned out that this task was temporary, and time was tight. The train arrived in Beijing last night. There was no time for Tiantan Railway Station to arrange housing for the personnel on the train. Therefore, all the personnel on the train slept on the seats last night on the train. This morning, before dawn, they got up to welcome the palace maids to get on the train.

* said: "Actually, it's okay for us to arrive. The conductors have worked much harder than us. This morning they got up to add water and coal to the train. Now all the preparations have been done." As he said that, he looked at the palace maids, and said in surprise: "They have lined up? The movement is very fast."

Zhou Ping said: "Yes, these are all trained in the palace, probably no worse than those of the students in military training." As he said that, he took out a stack of paper from his bag and handed it to *, and said: "This is the list of all palace maids. They are grouped according to each carriage. When leaving the palace, they have clicked the name once. Now it is best to click it again and then let them get on the car."

*Nodded, took the list, saluted Zhou Ping again, and handed the list to the management staff of each carriage according to the distribution of the carriages, and asked them to name the palace maids.

About 10 minutes later, the name was over, and all the staff were there, and there was no vacancies. So * also formally told Zhou Ping that the handover of the palace maids was completed, and then ordered that all the palace maids be put into the car.

The person in charge of each carriage opened the car door, and the palace maids picked up their bags, got on the car in sequence according to the group arrangement, and after entering the carriage, they put their luggage on the luggage rack or under the seat under the guidance of the responsible personnel, and then sat in the seat. The whole process was not only very orderly, but also very quiet. All the palace maids were silent and followed the instructions of the responsible personnel. Only when the responsible personnel helped, they would bow their knees slightly and say, "Thank you sister." They sat upright on the seat, straight waist, without squinting their eyes, folded their hands, and placed them flat in front of their lower abdomen. The responsible travelers didn't feel very impressed by these little girls when they saw this, because it was this posture, without 2 or 3 years of training.

Not long after, all the palace maids boarded the train and sat down, and the doors of each carriage were closed one after another.* Then he saluted Zhou Ping again and said, "Director Zhou, we are leaving."

Zhou Ping also nodded, gave a tribute, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, it's a good journey."
