Chapter 134: Doing your best
Soon there was a shout from the castle tower, "The royal family only recruits 2,000 people this time, so after a month of training, the best 2,000 of them will stay, and the rest of the royal family will go home first after giving a month's salary." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut the next time the royal family recruits, if you want, you can come directly to participate, and you don't need to be eliminated again. ”
This is the most explosive news today, as soon as the shouting fell, the field exploded. Many people who were recruited had already heard that the royal family only recruited 2,000 people this time, but they didn't think it was true, but even if they couldn't stay, they could get a month's money, and they could come back in the future, which was still good. But more people are gearing up, after all, although the royal family is weak, but as the people of Wangji, deep down in their hearts are still proud to be able to serve the royal family, especially now that the royal family has returned to Luoyang, countless descendants of the children of the clan are all excited, and they are all excited to see the villagers returning to their hometowns with the rewards of the royal family, and the joy when the family greets them, and even some people are the captains, and it is even more glorious over there, and countless people envy it, the ancients are not lacking in blood, and the mood of not being willing to lag behind has quietly spread among nearly 4,000 people.
As for Zhou Bian, although it is a little helpless to only accept 2,000 people this time, it is also a good thing to be able to admit the best people. And those eliminated this time can also be used as reserves, and the royal family has a roster that can be directly recruited in the future. So looking at the people below, Zhou Bian's heart was also full of hope, what kind of soldiers could be recruited this time, it was really exciting. But no matter what, I have a base, and with this solid foundation, the royal family can go further in the future!
After arguing for a while, I only heard the shouting from the city tower sounding again, "This training is in charge of the young master, you have to listen to the arrangement, keep the military discipline, if you don't follow the discipline, you will be expelled directly, and you haven't received a penny of soldiers' salary, do you hear clearly?" There was laughter below, and it seemed that someone was still shouting, presumably shouting words to reassure the adults.
"A month of training is very hard, but the food of the royal family will not be worse than your family, the king said, you must hold on. In a month's time, whether you are enlisted in the army or those who are returning home, the king will be here to watch the army and receive your visit. The King will be with you forever! This observation of the military is what later generations called a military parade. When shouting, Zhou Bian took two steps forward and waved his hand downward, which immediately caused a burst of cheers, and the advantage from the later generations was obviously that he knew how to mobilize people's hearts.
Seeing that the time was almost up, and there was not much to do, the young master asked Zhou Bian to go back first, Zhou Bian looked at the thousands of people below, in fact, he wanted to come to train in person, but it was obviously unrealistic, so he had to nod. After receiving the signal, the caller shouted again, "Congratulations to the king!" ”
The people in the field below suddenly bowed down again, and after Zhou Bian waved his hand, he took the young master and Ning Yue and walked downstairs to the city tower. Walking on the stairs, Zhou Bian didn't forget to turn around and explain to the young master, "Young master, I'm afraid you have to worry more about this training." A barracks in the west city of Luoyang and a barracks outside the east gate of Chengzhou were trained separately, which had been discussed a long time ago. Usually practice the method of practicing the king's queue, pay attention to everyone's discipline, and make a record, divided into four levels, A, B, C, D, for future choice. In addition, physical training and simple weapon training cannot be neglected. This king will ask from time to time. ”
The young master smiled, "The king can rest assured, and the old man will take care of it." This group of commanders are also close to the king in the past, and they all know that the king does not have to ask about everything one by one, and after a month, the old man will pick two thousand elite soldiers for the king. ”
What the young master said, Ning also agreed very much. Ning also knows that the king is talented, but the manpower is sometimes exhausted, and it is enough to hand over the trust to the subordinates, otherwise how can the king do it. Ning Yue also interjected.
Hehe, did he become Zhuge Liang, but I didn't feel that I was in charge of a lot of things, but what the young master said was also reasonable, and I was afraid that my subordinates would have opinions and felt that the king didn't trust me, and secondly, I was also preparing for the future, after all, there will be more things after the development of the royal family, so we still have to pay attention to the strategy in the future, arrange the right people to do the right things, and just wait for the results. However, since Ning Yue interjected, Zhou Bian turned around and smiled, "This king will pay attention in the future." But since it is said that Ning Qing is also a person trusted by this king, how did this king let you be in charge of the resetting of the eunuchs in Luoyang City? ”
"Oh, I was going to report to the king in the next two days, but now that the king asked, Ning Mou said it first. This soldier is no worse than the army, the salary is not much, the things are quite complicated, and there is no precedent, most people are skeptical, so there are not many people who are willing to come to apply. Among the veterans of the royal family, Ning even coaxed and deceived more than a dozen people, and they were all too old to work hard, so they finally had a general framework. And only twenty or thirty people were recruited among the original soldiers in Luoyang, and it was difficult to recruit people again, even if there was a son who was not sleepy and waited for the previous Luoyang idlers to help, few people were willing to come. So there were less than fifty people in all, and I wanted to wait two days or more before reporting to the king. However, Ning has indeed tried his best, please believe in Ning, soon, the king will soon be able to see the results. Ning Yue arched his hand.
In fact, Zhou Bian also thought about these difficulties, so Zhou Bian smiled and nodded, "It's okay, this king will take care of it." This king believes in Ning Aiqing's ability. After the first batch of eunuchs appears, it will be much easier to find people in the future. I just don't know how you arranged these fifty people? ”
As they spoke, they walked to the bottom of the tower, where the soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army were waiting in a neat line. The young master said with a smile, "King, Doctor Ning, the old man is going to be busy with military training, so I won't send it." You guys say slowly, the old man is leaving! ”
After seeing off the young master, Zhou Bian took Ning Yue's hand and got into the car together, Ning Yue couldn't refuse, so he had to sit opposite Zhou Bian, fortunately, the carriage was big enough and not crowded.
"Back to the king, Ning divided the people into three teams, all of them were veterans in the royal family as captains, one team patrolled in Dongcheng every day, one team inspected in Nancheng, and one team trained in the barracks. It's just that if you can open a government and set up a government, it will be convenient to deal with daily matters. ”
Oh, this is to want a special place to work, too, how can such a large department not have a yamen. Zhou Bian nodded naturally at this request, and the two talked casually a little more, added some opinions, and arrived at the main gate of the palace in a blink of an eye.
After entering the palace, seeing that it was still early, Zhou Bian decided not to return to the Mingde Hall first, but turned to the east, and came to an inconspicuous small courtyard to the east of the Mingtang.
Zhou Bian raised his feet and stepped in, the courtyard was not too big, there were some big water tanks, wooden beds and the like, several people were busy with the things at hand, a thin and tall man was still shouting something, and no one noticed the arrival of the king.
I only heard a man complain, "My lord, this has been changed several times, and I have never seen a cloth that can be formed after drying, is the method that the king said accurate?" Didn't you hear me wrong? ”
The tall and thin man suddenly scolded, "Just do your job, can what the king say be wrong?" The king also said that he just heard about it from the immortals, but he didn't know how it was, and we had to try it repeatedly, so you got impatient after only a few attempts? But the king said that a hundred times is not too much. Quick, quick hands and feet, I can choose you, let you do the work, not here to talk. ”
While he was scolding, the thin and tall man suddenly saw Zhou Bian, and immediately panicked, stopped his tongue, and bowed to the ground, "See my king!" Seeing that the chief was like this, the rest of the men also reacted and knelt down one after another.
Zhou Bian recognized this tall and thin man, so he shouted, "Shen Bufa, this king specially transferred you from Cheng Zhou to specialize in invention and creation, do you have any opinions?" ”
Shen Bufa is the son of Lord Sikong, who has been fond of carpentry since he was a child, and this time he got the royal order, put down the four-wheeled carriage in his hand, and brought a few right-hand men to come to try some new things for Zhou Bian. Shen Bufa shook his head and said, "If you can call the little one, that is the trust of the king." I tried for three days, but I still couldn't make what the king said was as white as cloth and could be written, so I asked the king to punish him. ”
"Hehe, you also said it just now, what this king said about not trying dozens or hundreds of times, how can it be so easy to appear. Come, show the king what you have done in the past two days. ”
"Yes." Saying that, Shen Bufa took Zhou Bian to the strength of the vat first, "The king, please see, this is the paste that is stirred up, according to the king's instructions, put some rags, grass powder and reed rods, but its color is still a little yellow, and it is not sticky, and after the paste is flat on the wooden bed and dries, it is either powdery, or flakes or lumps, it is really far behind, the king." ”
Zhou Bian stretched out his hand and stirred it into the big vat, scooped it out again, took a closer look, and said, "What you have done is not detailed enough, and the grass is not as big as the king's finger carapace, and it needs to be even thinner." Also, if it's not white enough, you can add some lime, if it's not sticky enough, you can add some cooked rice paste, don't be afraid of waste, and it won't cost much. What the king said may not be right, you need to try more, you can also think of your own ideas, as long as you create what the king needs, the king will definitely reward you. ”
"Thank you, King! Ministers must do their best! "Shen is lawless." It's just that I only cared about remembering the method that the king said, but I didn't know what the name of this magical thing was, so that the little ones could know it in advance. ”
"Paper. This king gave the name paper. Saying that, Zhou Bian dipped his hand in the paste in the jar and wrote a big piece of paper on the wall of the vat, simplified.
Shen Bufa tilted his head and looked at it for a long time before he said, "King, this character is square, very different from my Zhou Dynasty seal style, could it be the king's newly created word?" ”
"It is this paper that this king brought down from heaven, and it has never been seen in the world, so this king created a new word. What do you think? In fact, Zhou Bian is commemorating his past life in this way, but this loneliness is separated by thousands of years, but who is he going to talk to?
Shen Bufa nodded seriously and said, "Good word, then it will be called paper in the future." Please rest assured, the little one has done his best, and I believe that it will not be long before the king will see the paper again. ”
"Okay, then the king will wait for Aiqing's good news. This king is gone first, you are busy! Saying that, Zhou Bian said goodbye and left. This time I didn't expect them to be able to immediately make paper, one of the four great inventions, but I had already pointed out what paper was and the general method, and I believed that with a little brainstorming, it should be able to make it, and Zhou Bian was not worried about this. And how to sell it in the future, but you have to use your brain, this paper, can really be said to be an epoch-making product!
The compass in the four great inventions was already available at this time, and the paper was also brought by himself, so should the rest of the printing and gunpowder also be obtained? Zhou Bian thought about it, printing is okay, but gunpowder is too dangerous, so forget it. After all, entering the era of hot weapons in advance, the span is too big, and it is really unclear what kind of harm it will bring to this era.
