Chapter 21: The Praise of the Han Emperor

The end of a deal is not just an ordinary deal. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Rang and Yuan Valve are the key, when the eunuch and Yuan Valve agree to release grain for the first time, it means that this calculation against ordinary people has come to an end. After all, since the people have food to eat, the price of food can also gradually fall.

Of course, this process is not so fast, but it will also be carried out slowly, and finally the price of food will be maintained at a relatively stable price.

In addition, Zhu Jun also gained some favor from the military and the family, which was very helpful to his future career. This is based on the cherishing of glass carvings, and if it is an ordinary thing, others may not be so easy to compromise.

The three glass carvings that were traded have been fully exploited to their value. For Zhu Cheng, it is only a consumption of 6 energy points. However, in this operation, he was able to redeem more than just these three glass carvings.

Just when Zhu Jun and the others were giving gifts, Zhu Jun's housekeeper also sent a gift to Yang Ci's house, which was no less grade than the other three glass carvings, in the name of giving Yang Ci a birthday, but in fact, it was also to please this old superior.

Yang Cinnai was one of the three princes of the dynasty, in charge of the military of the Han Dynasty, and Guangluxun was also under his jurisdiction, and he was also Zhu Jun's superior. In addition, Yang Ci's identity is not simple, Zhu Jun, as a subordinate, naturally can't ignore this old boss, even if according to history, he will hang up next year.

If Yang Ci knew that Zhu Jun gave the eunuch, Yuan Valve Lord and even a small official Huangfu Song gave a treasure, but forgot his share, I am afraid that Zhu Jun's career will not be very smooth in the future.

Now Zhu Jun not only gives gifts, but also does not make any requests, Yang Ci is not an ordinary person, it is not difficult to understand that this is Zhu Jun's show of favor to him after a little inquiry. Crucially, he did like the glass carving, which the butler had described when he returned, based on his observations.

There is the last one, but it is not something that can be given away casually, Zhu Cheng had a plan, and Zhu Jun did not object after knowing it, so he kept the things and took them out after a few days to deal with the refugee affairs.

It took three days before and after, and Zhu Cheng returned to the barracks in Tiger Prison Pass.

This transaction brought back a lot of things, considering that the glass carvings were all provided by Zhu Cheng, Zhu Jun was embarrassed to take all the things. If he didn't really need a batch of food, I'm afraid he would just exchange some money or something from the beginning.

Now that the price of food will slowly come down, and this famine is coming to an end, he is naturally in a very good mood. So with a wave of his hand, at least forty percent of the grain and various supplies were sent to Zhu Cheng's camp.

Zhu Cheng couldn't keep these things for himself, at least a few of his direct superiors wanted to take care of them. So fifty percent of the forty percent of the supplies were missing, and only the remaining twenty percent were brought back to the army.

"How have you been training these three days?" Zhu Cheng brought the four chiefs and Yang **** over and asked.

"I've been practicing according to the method you provided by the team leader, but the children below feel that this kind of training is meaningless, and there is no additional food ration for the training, which makes them a little complaining." One of the chiefs below came out to report the situation, while Yang Lang stayed silently on the sidelines, after all, his position was only that of the chief of the army.

"It's just that if you stand for half an hour every day and walk in unison for half an hour and complain, then the long-distance march will not be upset in the future...... They're actually complaining about training without extra food rations, right? Zhu Cheng said with a smile.

"That's exactly ......," the chief replied apologetically, after all, this was one of the bad habits of the Chinese people.

"When the team came back this time, they brought back a lot of supplies, including a lot of grain, soybean oil, and even salt and jerky. Originally, the team planned to use these things as military rations for everyone to improve their food, but now it seems that they have to change! Zhu Cheng said with a smile.

Originally, when they heard the first half of the sentence, the elders couldn't help but light up, but when they heard the second half of the sentence, their hearts suddenly cooled.

"From tomorrow onwards, in addition to being on duty, I will have to train every day according to the plan I gave. In return, I promise to give everyone extra food rations. But! Among the five soldiers, the best performers have meat to eat; The ordinary three can only eat good food; The worst performance can only be fed, and he will also be responsible for the sanitation of the camp and help the other four wash their clothes! The competition is held once a day, and after the day's training! Zhu Cheng solemnly announced.

"As long as you can eat enough, there shouldn't be any problem with the sons and daughters below." Hearing this, the four of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it's nothing to train every day, as long as they can eat enough. After all, when you don't train, you will eat at most seven points.

"Is it really okay?" Zhu Cheng asked with a smile.

"It's really no problem!" The four of them immediately replied, as if they were still afraid that Zhu Cheng would change his hexagram.

"Alright, I'll announce the training now!" Zhu Cheng smiled and said the training content he formulated. This is not just as simple as lining up and standing in a military posture, but also includes physical training and some simulated actual combat training.

Some of this knowledge comes from the military programs of his time and space, some comes from some literary works, and some is summarized in this time and space, or learned from others. But no matter what, this training list is definitely ********!

"This ......" After hearing the complete training program, the four of them suddenly turned pale, after all, this kind of training intensity, I am afraid that the most elite border troops are not so strict.

"This is what you promised, why are you going to go back?" Zhu Cheng asked in a somewhat warning tone.

"Don't dare!" The four of them couldn't help but be excited, and immediately replied. They know very well in their hearts that whoever dares to regret it at this time will definitely not have a good end waiting for them.

"Just be honest about how you feel about my training syllabus, I'm not so arrogant that I can't listen to other people's advice." After the four of them left, Zhu Cheng looked at Yang Lang, he personally led this, and the specific training was still in charge of Yang Lang, so he wanted to ask Yang Lang what he thought.

"As long as you have enough food, it's not a problem at all!" Yang Lang's vision was much higher than that of the other four fools, and he could see that if they trained according to this outline, then their team would definitely be able to become an elite unit. He has nothing to object to Zhu Cheng's training requirements, the key is that the food must keep up.

"The team can at least guarantee that even if they perform at their worst, they will not have a problem getting fed. But you're going to let your team take last place? Zhu Cheng looked at Yang Lang with interest.

"If it is handed over to the lowly position to train, it can ensure that the daily assessment, and the team leader personally commands this is the best!" Yang Lang patted his chest and reassured.

"Okay, huh? You must know that there is no joke in the army! Zhu Cheng laughed.

"There is no joke in the army, if you don't do your humble duty, you are willing to be punished!" Yang Lang replied very firmly.

"Okay, I'll hand this one over to you, give me some care!" Zhu Cheng nodded and announced.

Not to mention how well Zhu Cheng trained here, after three days of brewing, there was also a bit of undercurrent surging here in Luoyang.

Various grain merchants have already begun to sell grain, announcing to the public that a new batch of grain has just arrived. Of course, at the beginning, the sale was mainly old grain, but fortunately, the people around Luoyang and Sili were also willing to buy it.

It's just that the price is starting to drop now, and the interests of many people are still somewhat damaged, at least not as much. Those in the know know that this is because Zhu Jun and Yuan Valve, and even the eunuch party reached some kind of agreement.

Interested people further inquired and understood that Zhu Jun gave the eunuch and Yuan valve a beautiful glass product. Even Yang Ci and Huangfu Song have one in their hands. Of course, the one in Huangfu Song's hand was not kept, and it was sold after a short time, and there were too many people in the capital that Huang Fu Song couldn't provoke, and he couldn't refuse any one of them.

In the end, when Yang Ci showed a little will, he sold the thing to the other party cheaply. But it's also good for him, at least Yang Ci is very satisfied with his performance. indirectly, it also made the relationship between Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun a small step further.

But there is one person who is not very happy, and that is Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Good things naturally have to be given priority to the emperor, but as a result, Zhu Jun gave them to Zhang Rang, Yang Ci and Yuan Valve, and even an emperor Fu Song, who was not in a high position, actually didn't give it to him? Zhang Rang was interested in giving things away, but this still made him a little unhappy.

Playing with the galloping horse carving in his hand, it can be seen that Liu Hong really likes this thing. Thinking that there are still three things, my heart is a little moved, and it would be best if I could get it. For Zhu Jun's neglect of his behavior, it is inevitable that he is a little dissatisfied.

As a result, the next day, just at the time of the Great Dynasty, Zhu Jun came back, and he had already preliminarily settled the refugees outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and each of them got some seeds, as well as food that could be eaten for about three months, and then find some wild vegetables or something, and they could make do with the winter. With a chance to live, the people no longer gathered in front of the Tiger Prison.

They must take advantage of these three months to either find something to do to support themselves, or go to other places to open up wasteland in preparation for next year's spring ploughing. On the contrary, these specific affairs are not what Zhu Jun needs to manage.

Now that the task has been completed, Zhu Jun naturally wants to return to Beijing to resume his life, of course, he also deliberately chose this day to come back, the purpose is to be able to resume his life in the court in person, and do something else.

Knowing that the refugees outside the Tiger Prison Pass had dispersed, the Han Emperor was dissatisfied with Zhu Jun, but he was still very satisfied with his work. I wanted to praise two sentences, but I didn't want Zhu Jun to be the first to come out.

"The minister recently got a treasure, but no one can have it, so it should be dedicated to Your Majesty!" Zhu Jun raised his hand, and a brocade box appeared in his hand.

Now the Han Emperor was satisfied, and secretly said that this Zhu Jun would also be a man, and he did not forget to give him treasures, so he motioned to the eunuch who was waiting next to him to go and bring the things over. As for the other courtiers, they also seemed to have expected this, and they were not surprised, but they were just thinking about whether there was such a thing in Zhu Jun's hands.

Yuan Valve, who made a deal with Zhu Jun, was a little dissatisfied, if there were too many glass products, it would be worthless! In other words, the deal with him was clearly a loss!

The little yellow door took the brocade box and opened it routinely to check, after all, what if it was some poison or hidden weapon that hurt the Han Emperor? As a result, as soon as he opened it, he couldn't help but exclaim, and his hand almost shook and the thing fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he was trained in the palace in the end, so he quickly calmed down, took a closer look, and couldn't help but be amazed.

He didn't stay too long, just obediently held the brocade box, returned to Liu Hong's side from the side, and presented the brocade box.

Liu Hong was also very curious, what could make this little yellow door so surprised, and he immediately probed over. But he didn't want to see a figure appear in front of him directly, and he was immediately surprised.

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Liu Hong was frightened, the courtiers below were naturally alarmed.

"Haha, it's okay...... it's okay" Liu Hong quickly recovered, waved his sleeves, signaled that it was okay, and then took out the thing, but it was a round glass mirror.

The quality of the bronze mirror in these years is indeed not very good, and the appearance of the reflection is inevitably not very clear. But this mirror is different, it can be seen very clearly, not to mention that the frame of the mirror uses gold as the main material, which looks high-end and atmospheric!

This thing is much more valuable than glass carving, and the key is that I haven't heard Zhu Jun give something like this to someone else, in other words, maybe it should be the only existence. That's right, I am the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, how can I be compared with other courtiers?!

"It's rare for Aiqing to have this heart, and I am very pleased!" Liu Hong was satisfied with the mirror and put it back in the box, and let the little yellow door beside him keep it, and then said with relief.

He made no secret of his love for mirrors, and of course he was more satisfied with Zhu Jun's political consciousness. Thinking of Zhu Jun taking on the task of dealing with the refugees in the Tiger Prison when no one else was willing, the key is to take out the most precious treasures for this purpose.

What kind of attitude is this, that is, the selfless spirit of serving the country loyally and sacrificing a small family to protect everyone!

"It seems that Zhu Aiqing has been serving as a counselor for several years, right?" Emperor Han also asked casually.

"Chen Yuguang came to Luoyang in the second year, and he has been in office for four years!" Zhu Jun replied respectfully.

"I remember that Taizhong Doctor Feng Aiqing seems to be begging for bones in the early stage, but there are already candidates?" Emperor Han looked at Taiwei Yang Ci again.

"There is already a candidate, it is Zhu Jun!" Yang Ci replied, Emperor Han's words obviously meant to promote Zhu Jun, at this time, even if there is already a candidate, there must be no candidate, and if there is really one, it can only be Zhu Jun.

"Then promote Zhu Aiqing to Taizhong Doctor! In addition, the title should also be mentioned, Zhu Aiqing is named the marquis of the capital, and the food is 2,000! With a wave of his hand, Emperor Han directly gave the appointment.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Jun immediately showed a very excited look, and bowed to Xie En.

Emperor Han was very satisfied with his performance, and he liked to be promoted, but he was afraid that he had no desires, and courtiers without desires were the most annoying, after all, this meant that his desires were not in such mundane things.

The surrounding courtiers were a little envious, and even jealous, knowing that Zhu Jun was promoted because of his handling of the refugees in the Tiger Prison. But who doesn't know that this is the sacrifice of the mirror to be promoted? A mirror can be promoted, and even the title has been promoted, if you don't envy it, then there will be ghosts.

It's not that no one thinks about whether to give some treasures to see, but whether it can compare to the mirror is unknown. If it can't be compared, then it's just self-deprecation.

At this point, the matter came to an end, Zhu Jun was promoted to official and knighted, and the Han Emperor got the mirror, which can be regarded as a great joy.

For Zhu Cheng, he also gained some things, one is Zhu Jun's respect and trust, and the other is that his name has also entered the sight of Zhang Rang and even Emperor Han, but it is not useful at present.
