Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 242 Never forgetting, there must be a chance

Of course, His Royal Highness the King of Chu came here, and it was impossible for the Hu family to entertain him with a big bowl of wide noodles.

The luncheon dishes are very rich, far exceeding Boss Zhu's rule of four dishes and one soup.

In Hu Taigong's words, Zhu Chongba doesn't care about it. I like to serve my grandson as many dishes as I like!
This also confirms Hu Xian's words, frugality is just the Hu family's attitude towards life, not a way of life... It's like a rich man's food and clothing are simple, but it really doesn't mean that he spends less.

After eating and drinking, and chatting with the old lady across the server for a while, the man finally started talking about business.

Today, the biggest business of the old Hu family is to form two capable soldiers and horses for His Highness King Chu.

"How is it? What's the problem?" Zhu Zhen is also very concerned about this matter, because even from the perspective of development, his three guards are the foundation of his future.

"Actually, the most difficult thing is to recruit soldiers. If you really pull up the team, you can do it step by step." The second uncle said helplessly: "The key is that the imperial court does not allow us to recruit soldiers from the people. It's not difficult."

Zhu Zhen already knew that the beginning of the country was different from the later generations. In this era, martial arts were valued over literature, and the status of soldiers was higher than that of ordinary people and ordinary scholars.And once you become a soldier, it is equivalent to holding an iron rice bowl for generations...

Ordinary people don't have front and back eyes, and they don't know how vulnerable military households will be in a hundred years.Right now, I'm still trying to squeeze my head out and want to be a soldier.

But the problem is that the world has just been settled, and there is no place for a large number of troops to settle, so unless there are special connections, it is impossible to change civilian households into military households.

Therefore, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion stipulated that the formation of guards for the princes must be drawn from the original army, and no new ones can be recruited.

~~
"Why, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion made things difficult for you?" His Royal Highness King Chu's face sank.

"It's okay, it's okay, especially Cao Guogong is so enthusiastic. He met my brother specially a few years ago, and he specifically ordered the following to make it as convenient as possible for us." Wuchang Bo Huquan said with a smile:

"He also said that we can choose anyone from the Beijing camp, even if it is the imperial army, we can coordinate with him if we like it. It's really a face-saving."

"That's right, that's my cousin too." Zhu Zhen said proudly.

I silently added in my heart that I also ate the food I planted with my own hands...

It's a bit regrettable, but it's a pity that I can't give my grandfather a taste.Because ninety-nine percent of the food belonged to the grandfather's family, and it would be revealed as soon as it was tasted.

But if I have this kind of heart, the concubine mother should be very happy, right?
Thinking about it this way, His Royal Highness King Chu can feel at ease.

"If you choose someone from the Beijing camp, you have to be willing to come, right?" Twirling his beard with a big stick, he said, "He is a heavenly soldier in the Beijing camp. Would you like your whole family to join us in Wuchang as a soldier?"

"Indeed." Uncle nodded and said, "I've inquired about the guards of King Qin and King Jin. How many years have they been formed? They haven't been fully recruited yet. It's just that the soldiers of the Beijing camp don't want to go to Xi'an Taiyuan."

"It doesn't matter, isn't it just a matter of Cao Guogong's order?" The second uncle said nonchalantly: "Do they dare to disobey orders?"

"We have to let people be willing and unwilling, and there will be troubles in the future." The old man said in a deep voice.

"Understood, dad." The uncle nodded.

"Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. Can you pay more, and worry about not being able to find someone?" Zhu Zhen said.

"Your Highness, the military salaries allocated by the imperial court are all the same." Hu Quan said with a wry smile, "What shall we give them?"

"If we recruit half of the people, can't we pay double wages?" Zhu Zhen said wisely.

"This..." Hu Quan said speechlessly: "Even if he is not suspected of being paid for nothing, it is too bad to recruit half of the soldiers and horses."

"Just say that you will pay double wages, can you recruit soldiers?" His Royal Highness Chu Wang asked in a deep voice.

"Of course." Hu Quan smiled and said, "It will definitely break your head."

"That's fine." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "You guys will do this after the new year, and I will take care of other things."

"Is this..." Hu Quan felt a little worried, mainly because His Royal Highness Chu Wang was only 12 years old after a year, and his mouth was hairless.

"Your Highness has already made a decision, why are you still hesitating!" He was scolded by the big stick for his hesitation. "Don't forget whose army you are!"

"It belongs to His Highness." Hu Quan Hu Bo hurriedly said.

"The guards of the palace, the first thing is to resolutely obey His Highness's orders. If you can't do it, get out and don't occupy the latrine." Hu Taigong scolded.

"Yes, what father taught you is true. Your Highness, I made a mistake in my humble position. If I make this mistake again, I will cut off my own tongue." The uncle said in embarrassment.

"Hehe, uncle, don't be nervous, I'm still young, and it won't be too late to establish rules in two years." The sixth child hurriedly comforted the uncle.

"No!" But the big stick said decisively: "The rules must be established at the beginning, so as to live up to His Highness's trust."

"Yes, Your Highness, if you want to make a good start, you have to set the rules from the very beginning." The uncle had already corrected his attitude completely, and asked, "Does Your Highness have any trusted or good candidates who can tell the humble staff , Arrange to come in at any time."

"Except for Lao Wang, I don't have any other close friends..." Zhu Zhen smiled wryly.

Eunuch Wang's eyes lit up, and he said in his heart that I could do it.

Immediately, his expression darkened again.Because he remembered that the emperor did not allow eunuchs to intervene in politics, let alone get involved in the army.

"I really think of someone here." Zhu Zhen's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh and said, "I'm going to recruit him now!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly left the Hu Mansion...

~~
Half an hour later, Duke Wei's mansion.

The sun was westward, and it was warm for people and bears.

After coming out of the grandfather's house, Zhu Zhen came here. First, he paid homage to Duke Wei for a year, and then he couldn't wait to come to the backyard to pet the cat.

The only giant panda in Nanjing is already very familiar with him.As soon as Zhu Zhen came, he circled around him.Because he always brings good food.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu threw a bag of apples one by one to the giant panda for the Teeth Ceremony, and asked the stern-faced Deng Duo with a smile:
"It's a big Chinese New Year, why is the general unhappy?"

"It's not because of you." Deng Duo snorted angrily, "It's because of my father, I'm already fourteen, and he still doesn't let me go out to lead the army. On New Year's Eve, I proposed again that I wanted to go to the Northern Expedition with Uncle Xu, but he ended up having sex Let the whip go, and I'll be beaten."

"Haha, general, don't be ignorant of good and evil." Zhu Zhen smiled and said, "Being a soldier is too hard. Duke Wei is afraid that you are too young to persevere."

"Don't underestimate me." Deng Duo rolled up his sleeves, showing off his slender muscles, and said, "This general can endure all hardships!"

"Really?" Zhu Zhen asked intentionally.

"Is it still fake?" Dun Duo raised his neck.

"Well, I'll help you go and tell Duke Wei, if he doesn't agree to let you serve as a soldier, I won't leave today!" Zhu Zhen said righteously.

"Oh, Your Highness is really a good person," Deng Duo said with great joy when he heard the words: "There is no reward for the final general, only..."

"No, you have a way to repay me." Zhu Zhen smiled and touched the back of the giant panda's neck.
