"Father asked the palace to train soldiers?"

Hearing the news, Zhu Houzhao's first reaction was to ask a rhetorical question in disbelief. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In his impression, although his father doted on him, he had always urged him to study, but now, he actually let him train in the army.

What kind of soldier this soldier is and where it comes from, Zhu Houzhao doesn't know, but this news is enough to surprise him.

"Master won't be lying to this palace, right, did my father really say that?"

Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Of course I said so, I'm afraid that there will be a will come down today, but this will is mostly a secret will, but although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is training soldiers, this matter cannot be leaked to anyone, no matter who asks, they only say that it is a training guard." ”

got a positive answer, Zhu Houzhao still trusted Liu Chengfeng very much, the chicken pecked the rice as if he nodded, his face couldn't hide his joy, and said: "Yes, yes, of course this palace knows that the military information must not be leaked, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law." ”

Then Liu Chengfeng sat down and told Zhu Houzhao about the whole thing, Zhu Houzhao listened very carefully, and then understood what was going on, and couldn't help but say gratefully: "If it wasn't recommended by the master, I'm afraid that my father would be willing, my father has always listened to the master's words, now it's okay, this palace is going to train soldiers......" Zhu Houzhao couldn't help clenching his fists, and said viciously: "This palace must train a hundred battles elite soldiers, show my father." ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "That's so, for the teacher to ask you, how do you plan to train this soldier?" ”

Zhu Houzhao asked Meng at once, although he likes to march and fight, but if he really wants to ask him specific details, Zhu Houzhao is only dumbfounded.

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, everyone in the world said that he was stunned, but in fact, this prince was the real stunned green, and he was afraid that he was the one who really bothered about this military training. Liu Chengfeng said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you want to train the army, you must first recruit strong men, let's recruit 800 people first, these 800 people naturally have to be carefully selected, His Royal Highness the Prince, you can talk about what talents should be recruited." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Naturally, he is a strong man. ”

Is this going to be him?

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but be speechless, and snapped his fingers to analyze him: "In fact, this time it is said to be a military training, but in fact, it is a training general, to put it bluntly, we are building a military academy, but it is difficult to build a military academy, and the government and the opposition will definitely oppose it, so this compromise method is adopted, it is not possible to recruit rough men alone, Your Highness, it is easy to train a hundred battles elite soldiers, but it is extremely difficult to train a general with soldiers, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not thinking about waving a million troops out of Yangguan?" If there were no 800 generals, who would be able to saddle up the horses and command the battalions for His Highness? Therefore, if you want to recruit people, the first thing is not to see if they are strong, if they are not in good health, they can be trained and put under the command of His Royal Highness the Prince, and they are afraid that they will not be able to strengthen their physique? The most important thing is to recruit people who can read and write, because only when they can write and read can they understand the reasoning of affairs, and only when they understand the reasoning can they teach them according to their aptitude, and impart to them a lot of knowledge about leading soldiers. ”

If others dared to point fingers at General Zhu Da's military training, Zhu Houzhao would probably fan him with an ear scraper. It's Liu Chengfeng who is pointing fingers, Zhu Houzhao has no temper at all, this young man obviously has a blind belief in Liu Chengfeng, in his heart, if he is the second in the world, then the first in the world is none other than Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng said the truth, he seemed to understand it, but he didn't have any doubts, just said: "Reader? Those who read are willing to come and serve in the army? ”

Liu Chengfeng smiled slightly and said, "They are willing, this kind of thing, if you don't use some means, how can you bring people here?" ”

Since Liu Chengfeng patted his chest and promised, Zhu Houzhao naturally had nothing to say, and then became full of interest: "It's better to do this, this day the palace will write a charter for military training, and Ming said that the master will be invited to look at it, hehe......, the palace is now a mighty general, and the master is a mighty general, you and I will work together to train together." ”

Liu Chengfeng originally had a draft of the training in his heart, but seeing that Zhu Houzhao was full of interest, he swallowed all these opinions back into his stomach, thinking to himself, and see what he had in mind, the top priority at the moment is to solve the matter of recruiting troops first, and then talk about it, in addition, there is also the issue of military attachés to be finalized.

After thinking about it, he got up and said: "Your Highness pondered and pondered, as a teacher, I will go to recruit troops first, and then come back in a few days." ”

Zhu Houzhao is a anxious surname, and when he said that he wanted to train the army, he really began to think about it, and said hesitantly: "Master is in charge of himself." ”

Liu Chengfeng came out of the East Palace, and couldn't help sighing, the prince is not very reliable, he has to come to the training of the army by himself, plan it all, he thought about it, jumped into the carriage after leaving the East Palace, and instructed the coachman: "Go to the Jubao Trading House." ”

Jubao Commercial Bank is close to the Jubao Building, is a small façade, covering an area of ten acres, in order to get this land, the Jubao Building has spent a lot of money, the original land here has long been bought by the rich merchants, the land here is every inch of land, don't look at only ten acres, the price is 110,000 taels of silver, that's it...... It's not discounted, in fact, it's not a lion's big mouth, don't say it's ten acres of land, even if it's only one acre, as long as you build an inn here, you can earn thousands of taels of silver a year casually, for businessmen, this is the hen that lays eggs, if it weren't for Liu Chengfeng's guarantee, willing to sell the land in the city of Lianzhou to them first, they may not be willing to cut their love.

Now the sign of this treasure firm has been hung up, and the face is naturally not small, but it is not yet officially opened, although it has taken over some business in Annan, but many things are still in the preparatory stage, so compared to the nearby stores, it seems a bit of a door.

Liu Chengfeng walked straight into this treasure firm, and there were guys coming out to greet him, and when he saw Liu Chengfeng, he naturally smiled, and was extremely courteous, Liu Chengfeng was nothing, and said directly: "Go and invite the big shopkeeper." ”

The so-called big shopkeeper, is the head of the treasure firm, according to the rules, the big shopkeeper is elected by the major shareholders, this person is called Liu Peng, is a person from Yangzhou, has done some small business, but in the business world is very good, righteous, sincere, a promise of gold, so he was invited by the owners, this Liu Peng is not a fool, of course he knows what it means to be a big shopkeeper in this treasure firm, so he didn't even do his own business, and came here without saying a word.

Liu Peng is a thin old man, he knows that there are many shareholders in this treasure firm, but the most counted person is this Lianzhou Hou, seeing Liu Chengfeng, of course he can't be lazy, he hurriedly called someone to serve tea, asked Liu Chengfeng to sit in the ear room, and then greeted: "Hou Ye, now Jubao Firm is in ruins, so it is a little cold, please don't blame Hou Ye, I don't know if Hou Ye is coming, but what are your orders?" ”

Liu Chengfeng asked: "With such a large shelf as Jubaolou, manpower is the first priority, how is the manpower recruitment now?" ”

Liu Peng couldn't help but take a deep look at Liu Chengfeng, he is a person who has been doing business for a long time, as soon as he heard Liu Chengfeng's words, he knew that Liu Chengfeng was a big expert in business, many people thought that doing business relied on the principal, relying on connections, in fact, they were all wrong, these things, in fact, are the icing on the cake, don't look at these two conditions are also indispensable, but if you want to make the business bigger, the most important thing is manpower. With manpower, this business can run well, Liu Chengfeng got straight to the point, and directly asked the question of manpower, which shows that Liu Chengfeng is really not in vain.

He smiled slightly, and said: "The charter is drawn up, but there are too many people to be hired, so the firm has begun to send people to recruit all kinds of people all over the world, from the small shopkeeper, clerk, lawyer, porter, sailor, buddy, as well as guards, interpreters, etc., are still slowly recruiting, ordinary guys and guards are just that, but the candidates for the small shopkeeper, lawyer, and interpreter should be cautious. ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded, a big business house like Jubaolou, the amount of principal, the scale of the business involved, can be described as unprecedented, this time to recruit manpower, I am afraid that it will exceed tens of thousands of people, as Liu Peng said, the rest of the people are fine, but like the small shopkeeper who runs the goods, the interpreter, the lawyer, etc., but they must be well checked, after all, these people are the core of the entire business bank, maintaining the operation of the entire business bank.

Lawyer, a new thing that has emerged from the treasure building, is now popular in the whole Ming Dynasty, there are many scholars because they failed to pass the exam, so they asked for the surname to study the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and then were hired by the businessmen, with such a person, the businessmen can avoid a lot of trouble.

In addition, there is also a kind called contract lawyer, contract lawyer specializes in the study of contracts, in case there are mistakes when drafting contracts, in the treasure building, there are quite a number of full-time contract lawyers responsible for guiding businessmen to sign contracts.

Liu Chengfeng listened to Liu Peng's words, and couldn't help but look at Liu Peng as if he was encouraged, managing so many things, this Liu Peng was only afraid that some of them would be tired, but he didn't come to inspect the work, but had serious things to do, and said to this Liu Peng: "In addition to the manpower required by the firm, you can recruit some more people for Benhou, recruit a thousand documents, ask to be familiar with poetry and books, and it is better to have a show of talent and fame, age, double ten, more than twenty-two, don't have a wife and children, don't have a physical disability, say to the outside world, It is a recruitment document, and the monthly salary is ten taels of silver a month. ”
