"Tomorrow, you will follow General Zhou into the camp as a prison guard."

Hong Ji was stunned, and Zhou Ning was also stunned.

There is no lack of precedent for eunuchs to act as supervisors, but they are generally set up in wartime to prevent military generals from abusing their powers, and sometimes border armies are also set up, but I have not heard of the prince's guard or the guard station to set up a supervising army, and there are eunuchs in various places, but it has nothing to do with the army.

So what is the intention of King Yong to set up a prison army among his own pro-army?

Zhu Houwei took out two thin booklets and threw them to Hong Ji and said: "There is no way to let you go to the barracks, the soldiers are all big characters and don't know a rough man, so I want you to teach them to read, and recognize all the 3,000 words on the first booklet, you must be able to read and write, and how to train the pro-army is in accordance with the regulations drawn up by the king, and the king will go to verify it in his spare time, if it is done well, you have merit, and the king will not hesitate to reward, if the completion is not good, you can watch it."

"King, the last general will train troops." Zhou Ning understood what Zhu Houwei meant, and suddenly felt that he was being underestimated.

Zhu Houwei shook his head and said: "General Zhou, I know that you are not convinced, and you may still think that this king is young and will only mess around, but you are wrong, this king has the charter of this king, and there is no need to explain anything to you, you just need to follow Hong Banban to train according to the charter written by this king, and you will be rewarded for practicing well, and you will be punished if you practice badly."

"The last will obey." Zhou Ning arched his hand and said again: "It's just that according to the usual practice in the army, there is a small practice every three days and a big practice every ten days.

Zhu Houwei said solemnly: "The salary of the soldiers in the dynasty is almost one tael per month, but whether it is the generals of the border army or the forbidden army, they like to save their families, this Ding is the private soldiers of the generals, so they still get full of silver, but the vast majority of the soldiers' salaries will be deducted, and there are even no pennies, but there is no such thing as this king's personal soldiers, and the king's personal soldiers will each increase their salary by fifty percent per month, and the least can also get one or two and a half dollars, in addition, the king will issue an additional 1,500 taels of food silver every month. Not only let you eat well, but also eat well, and even have meat all the time, so General Zhou, you tell this king, what reason does this king's three thousand guards have not to work hard! ”

"Nope!" Zhou Ning's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, he had never known that the vassal king had reduced the number of guards in order to reduce expenses, or deducted money and daily expenses, but now King Yong did the opposite, for what?

Conspiracy?

With only 3,000 people, even if they are all elite armor soldiers who have survived a hundred battles, rebellion is just a mantis arm as a car and a way to kill themselves.

Zhou Ning is upright but not stupid, and now since King Yong has commanded, then he will do it according to the charter.

Zhu Houwei waved his hand, and after Zhou Ning stepped back, Hong Ji looked aggrieved.

"Hong Banban thinks that this king treats you badly?"

"The slave and maid don't dare, even if the king lets the slave and maid die, the slave and maid will only end their lives without hesitation."

Zhu Houwei said with a smile: "You don't need to think too much, I want to train this team, not for rebellion but for self-protection, now the Japanese invaders harass the coast from time to time, Zhejiang is not safe, counting on useless guards is tantamount to joking with his own net worth, so this king needs an elite army to fight against the Japanese invaders, just take precautions, you are the king's trusted companion, only if you go to the military camp to personally supervise the training, this king can rest assured."

Hong Ji is one of Zhu Houwei's personal eunuchs, and it is understandable for King Yong to train his own soldiers or his own soldiers, even those who like to find fault with the officials can't say a word, but if their own prince covets a big position......

As a slave, you should be willing to cut off your body, and you must also do your best to repay the king!

"The king, I am afraid that the training and salary increase will be very expensive, and the prince will also add a school and recruit orphans to raise him, and the palace will ......"

Zhu Houwei glanced at Ren Xing, Ren Xing is the official envoy of Wang Yong's palace, to put it bluntly, he is the chief eunuch, in charge of the inner treasury of the palace, and supports all the expenses of the Yongwang Mansion, it is not unusual for him to have this worry.

"The emperor's brother gave this king 500,000 taels of silver, and this king also has 2,000 hectares of fertile land under his name, plus the court's wealth, can't this king still be able to raise 3,000 soldiers and horses and hundreds of children?"

Ren Xing's old face turned red and said, "That's not what the slave meant......

"The meaning of the big companion this king knows, the palace should be spent by its own companion control, although the court is worried about the king, but there is no reason to eat food or even sit and eat the empty mountain, throttling is not as good as open source, and so on leisure time to accompany the king to go around this mansion to see what shops are suitable to open......"

Ren Xing took the order, it is nothing for the vassal king to have his own industry, the prince wants to open source, who dares to say a word.

It's just that Ren Xing felt that he was in a trance and almost didn't know the prince he had grown up serving since he was a child.

After explaining some trivial things, Zhu Houwei bathed and changed clothes under the arrangement of the maid, and then fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, after the refreshed Zhu Houwei got up to wash, he ran in the palace, his body is the capital of the revolution, since the thief God let him travel to hundreds of years ago, then he naturally wants to realize his ideals and ambitions, but he can't collapse halfway because of physical reasons.

After breakfast, Zhu Houwei went directly to the warehouse, a warehouse that was more precious to him than the inner treasury of the palace.

This warehouse is actually more like a workshop, this is still Zhu Houwei was determined to divide the Huzhou Mansion, when the construction of the palace began, Zhu Houwei asked people to come to Huzhou to build it purposely, he liked to deal with craftsmen when he was in the capital, and built a workshop in the palace, which did not surprise people.

In front of the row of workshop areas, there were dozens of plainly dressed craftsmen, all of whom were master craftsmen and apprentices brought to Huzhou by Zhu Houwei from the capital, and the families of the craftsmen also moved to Huzhou, but they were placed outside the palace.

In the Ming Dynasty, craftsmen are ranked in the third sequence, and their social status is slightly higher than that of merchants, but in fact, businessmen live much more nourishingly than craftsmen.

The craftsmen who are basically at the bottom of the society use their wisdom and hard sweat to promote the progress of this world, but they never get the respect that should belong to them, but others regard craftsmen as mustard, but Zhu Houwei regards them as treasures.

A true treasure!

These craftsmen were recruited when Zhu Houwei was seven or eight years old, and he owned a large workshop outside the imperial city of Beijing, and the purpose of this workshop was not to make money, but to study.

Study the strange tricks and tricks that are spoken of by today's literati!

"Get up." Zhu Houwei raised his hand, he had already told these craftsmen that there was no need to make such a big gift when they saw him, but the secular concepts that had been passed down for thousands of years were not so easy to change.

Walking into the warehouse, looking at the neatly stacked large wooden boxes, Zhu Houwei's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp!
