Father can be an enemy to the country

Zhu Zhen spent a full ten days visiting all thirty-six camps, having cordial and friendly conversations with the civilian husbands, and clearly conveyed to everyone the court's determination to keep them and the importance he attached to them. A civilian husband.

Although the common people are homesick, their arms can't twist their thighs, not to mention that the prince has indeed given too much, and there is absolutely no such good conditions for going back. If it were as the prince said and he was sent back by the imperial court, wouldn't it be like a piece of cake and die at a loss?

As a certain philosopher said, life is like being beaten. If you can't resist, then choose to enjoy it...

So after a few days of frustration, the leaders of each battalion made an appointment to go to the Prince of Dian's Mansion as a group as soon as the Lantern Festival was over to give the prince a reply.

Zhu Zhen received them cordially and invited them to have a meal in his palace. And as long as their conditions were not too excessive, he would agree to them all. The full sincerity flattered all the leaders of the people.

What surprised them even more was that the prince also offered them generous personal terms...

~~

"You are all talented people." Zhu Zhen said to the thirty-six civilian leaders with a smile:

"Being able to gain the support of all the young and old men in the camp within one year and become their talker shows that you are all born leaders."

"Your Majesty, thank you," Chang San and others hurriedly said modestly: "You guys are just nosy. Everyone is afraid of dealing with officials, we are just thick-skinned..."

"I came here forcefully." Tong Tiehan, the leader of the Saber Battalion, interjected with a smile.

Obviously this person's level is higher than Chang San...

"Hahaha, you are willing to work for everyone, that is warm-hearted; you are not afraid of publicity, you are a public person; the most important thing is that you can convince everyone and recognize that you represent them." Zhu Zhen encouraged the leaders of the people. The child wears a high hat:

"You can't let your talents go to waste. Why don't you go back and set up a guild in each camp? How about you serve as the first president?"

"Guild president?" The leaders looked at each other.

"Why haven't you heard of it?" Zhu Zhen asked with a smile.

"Of course I have heard of it." Chang San replied: "For example, in our hometown of Suzhou, there is a silk industry guild. The president Gu Yuanchen stomps his feet, and the big shots in Suzhou City tremble."

"Is it so powerful? Then the tiles of my palace in Suzhou will be shaken down by him?" Zhu Zhen couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, the prince is joking. Of course President Gu can't compare with the prince." Chang San said with a smile.

"But what I always say is that those guild presidents are all great people." Han Liu, the leader of the pottery camp, said:

"For example, in our porcelain industry guild in Jingdezhen, the presidents are even more powerful than the county magistrate. We don't even know these words, how can we still be the president?"

"Yes." The leaders nodded one after another, and they really didn't dare to think about it.

"Hehehe..." Zhu Zhen smiled, picked up the wine cup and took a sip.

Teacher Luo, who was sitting next to him, felt like a tool. He shook his head and said with a smile: "If you have the right to be a prince, general or minister, why would you rather have the seed? Why are a bunch of idiots trapped in a cocoon, and they don't even dare to think of being a guild president?"

After a pause, he said provocatively: "Besides, I'm not asking you to go to Jingdezhen to be the chairman of the porcelain industry or to be the chairman of the silk industry in Suzhou. It's just to form a few grass-roots teams in Yunnan. You don't have the guts to deal with it." ?”

"That should be okay. If you can't be a phoenix head, you can get by as a chicken head..." The leaders said with a smile.

"Besides, don't blame me for not reminding you, this is your only chance to change your destiny. If you seize it, you may rise to the top and grow into a big businessman like Cheng Qian and Gu Yuanchen who can make waves and be on equal footing with the officials!" Luo Guanzhong raised his voice. The tone was full of temptation:

"What is a God-given opportunity? This is a God-given opportunity! Without this shop after passing through this village, it is impossible for the prince to give you a second chance!"

The leaders of the thirty-sixth battalion present were all human beings. There is no need for a heavy hammer to sound the drum. How could you not understand what Luo Guanzhong meant?

I said in my heart that I don’t care whether the mother is qualified or not, let’s take over the trap first!

So they all left the table and knelt down with a roar, thanking the prince for his kindness.

"Haha, get up, get up." Zhu Zhen raised his hand with a warm smile, asking them to get up and talk, and then laughed in a loud voice:

"You must be muttering to yourself, why us? Right?"

"Yes, what the prince said is absolutely right." Chang San and others nodded: "With our small noses, small eyes, and small appearance, how can we be wrongly loved by the prince?"

"The reason is very simple, historical opportunity." Zhu Zhen said lightly:

"It's like a mountain forest. Because the fire burned everything, all the animals ran away. But within a few years, the vegetation flourished again, and there were animals in the forest. At this time, there might only be some birds and rabbits, and that one monkey. Possibly king and hegemony, do you understand?”

"There are no tigers in the mountains, but the monkey is called the king?" Chang San blurted out.

Tong Tie and Han Liu both looked at him and said to themselves that this man is indeed quite brave... If a monk doesn't call the bald man, here is a king. Doesn't he call the prince a monkey?

The corners of Teacher Luo's mouth were also twitching, and he was holding back his smile as if he wanted to be beaten.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhen was not as knowledgeable as such a small person. He only glanced at Chang San and continued:

"Those words are not rough. Although all of you are talented people, you have not yet impressed me with your performance. However, we are in Yunnan, and everything is starting from scratch. Someone has to do something, so we can only If you choose a general from within, you will be put on the shelf first."

"That's it..." After hearing what the prince said, the leader of the 36th Battalion felt a lot more at ease, at least knowing that this was not a trap.

"So I'm going to say something ugly first. You all have to use your strength to help me stabilize the civilians of Camp Thirty-Six." Zhu Zhen said in a more serious tone:

"Which battalion of civilians is slacking off in work, I will punish the president of that battalion! Whichever battalion has more civilians running away, I will punish the president of that battalion!"

After a pause, he continued with a murderous tone: "If any battalion dares to cause trouble, I will be the first to behead the president! Do you understand?"

"Yes..." The leaders responded tremblingly, saying that they really couldn't believe it was pie in the sky. This job is really not easy to take. If you don't do it right, you will be punished or even lose your head...

Zhu Zhen then slowed down his tone and then promised:

"As long as they don't make trouble, don't run away, don't slow down in work, and settle down safely, you will have done a great job, and I will never treat you badly! No matter whether it is wealth or birth, you are indispensable!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The leaders thanked each other one after another, but they were a little weak.
