Chapter 200: Follower Cultivation (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Jiang Lun and his entourage returned to Anlu from Beijing.

Tang Yin's good drinking friend came back, and the two naturally wanted to get together and say goodbye to each other, it didn't matter if there was a gap between the two sides' talents, knowledge, status, etc., as long as there was wine, it was enough for the two drunkards.

Zhu Hao left the palace early in the afternoon, and instead of going to the theater troupe, he went to his laboratory in the city, which was also where his secret workshop was located, which was used to make silver mirrors and glasses.

"Huhuhu......"

Before Zhu Hao entered the door, he heard the sound of a stick breaking through the air.

Guan Jing is practicing martial arts inside.

Guan Jing, who was born in a military family, has a family tradition of kung fu, even if he follows Zhu Hao, the owner, to study and learn skills, but he still does not forget to practice.

At this time, there were four people living in the small courtyard.

Except for Guan Jing, who usually returns to the opera troupe, the other three are the two brothers Li Dagen and Li Ergen from Shangkuo Village, and Min Feiyuan from Xiakuo Village.

The Li brothers and Min Feiyuan are both about ten years old, Li Dagen is the oldest, he is eleven years old, he and his younger brother are not top-notch academically, but they are ingenious, and they were pulled by Zhu Hao to make mirrors.

As for Min Feiyuan, his grandfather was a Xiucai, and the family had a fine tradition of studying, and even if he is now a tenant, his parents still hope that he can make progress in his studies.

After spending half a year getting along, Zhu Hao selected three satisfactory talents in front of him from more than a dozen children.

Of course, the other children were not driven away, they all stayed in the city to study and learn skills, before Zhu Hao occasionally went to class, and the rest of the time was arranged to be an apprentice in the glass workshop.

After the workshop was taken over by the Zhu family, these children were temporarily "unemployed", so Zhu Hao hired an old master to teach them literacy, and then found a bookstore to print a batch of mathematics and nature textbooks, Zhu Hao taught from the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and at the same time let these children understand some of the simplest knowledge of animals, plants and geography.

"The owner is here!"

Min Feiyuan shouted.

Guan Jing stopped practicing and went to the door with a few children to greet him.

After Zhu Hao came in, he asked them about their studies.

"Owner, we have learned to recognize 1,500 words, and there is no problem with arithmetic within 100, and other students are studying your "Nature", we can all do it, and we usually don't have anything to do here, can we help you paint the mirror when you are not there?"

Li Dagen sent a request to Zhu Hao.

Every time Zhu Hao made silver mirrors and glasses, he repeatedly told him to come over, under his personal guidance and supervision, with the help of the Li brothers, if Zhu Hao was not there, the materials were all locked, and the reagents were also ready for use, mainly to prevent these children from not knowing how to do it, not knowing its toxicity, and endangering their lives.

Zhu Hao said: "We don't need to rush to do those, we don't need to put too much thought into it...... I'm here for your safety, those things are highly poisonous, and if you don't keep them safe, it's easy to have problems. ”

Min Feiyuan asked, "Is it like arsenic?" ”

Among the children, Min Feiyuan has red lips and white teeth, and looks like a beautiful son. In terms of the degree of Peugeot, it is better than Jinghong, although he was born in a farmer's family, he has the potential of a little white face.

Although Guan Jing's appearance is also good, he belongs to the type of tiger head and tiger brain, and he is not very interested in reading or anything, "Three", "Hundred", "Thousand" is all right after learning, and now the old master is teaching "Analects", he usually is listless in class, but Zhu Hao's "Nature" can be seen.

The Li brothers are more honest and sincere, they have excellent craftsmanship, and it seems that children who are not good at words can concentrate on doing things, while Min Feiyuan has a talent for reading, and now he has finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics, but he is clumsy and has no talent to be a craftsman.

"Let's go, help me get some groceries...... It's still the old rule, different people go to different stores...... Guan respects you to catch the car! ”

Zhu Hao came with a carriage this time, but the coachman had already left after arriving at the place.

Today, he wants to "buy" with a few children, but it is not about the materials related to the manufacture of glass mirrors, but Zhu Hao wants to do other research.

on the carriage.

Guan Jing drove very steadily, and the children drove a carriage on the street, which was quite an eyesore, but Guan Jing didn't feel awkward at all.

Zhu Hao did not show up.

There are people in the city who know him, and if his whereabouts are known, they may be watched, especially if the Zhu family is still the home of Jinyiwei, it is not difficult to do some tracking or something, Zhu Hao has always had a strong sense of anti-tracking.

"Owner, my dad asked me to ask, are you going to rehearse a new play recently? There were not as many people watching the previous plays, didn't the owner say that he would have to perform in various places when he went back? ”

Guan Jing is a "foreman" in Zhu Hao's laboratory.

Zhu Hao cultivated Guan Jing as the leader of a group of children, but Guan Jing was different from those children, he felt that his main business in the future should be to inherit his father's martial arts as a troupe, even if he was not a musician, he could rely on this to eat, and even get married and have children to support his family, so he was not interested in being a child king.

As for the children in the village, they have to follow Zhu Hao to read and learn skills, among so many children in the farm, only Min Feiyuan is the only one who is dedicated to studying with Zhu Hao and taking the road of the imperial examination.

Zhu Hao knew from Min Feiyuan's name that the Min family was not an ordinary grassroots family, willing to let their children study and pay for it, and was not in a hurry to let their children work in the fields to subsidize the family, which was caused by the traditional family concept of poetry and book heirlooms.

Zhu Hao leaned on the back of the carriage, bored: "Don't worry, my new play script hasn't been written yet, and I have to think about singing or something, and I have to think about it and have new ideas...... In the future, I also plan to let the troupe go to Wuchang Mansion and Changsha Mansion to take a tour. ”

"Shall I go?"

Guan Jing looked back at the carriage and asked.

Zhu Hao said: "You can go if you want, but it's better to stay, it's better to go out and be busy, it's better to be stable and peaceful here...... Your father probably doesn't want you to run around, I talked to him before, if you have the opportunity, you still go to martial arts to become an official, after all, your family is from a military family. ”

Min Feiyuan next to him asked casually: "Isn't it an escape?" ”

Guan Jing immediately glared angrily.

Although Guan Jing is the head of the children designated by Zhu Hao, after all, these children are from Shangxiao and Xiakuo villages, even if the two villages are not one, but the children still unconsciously huddle together when they enter the city.

With his learning progress far beyond Tongji, as well as his extraordinary insight and co-ordination ability, Min Feiyuan has faintly become the head of the children in the village.

The relationship between Guan Jing and Min Feiyuan is a little delicate, like competition, but in fact, there is nothing to fight for, the two of them will go to literature and martial arts in the future, but they are both working under Zhu Hao, if they really want to fight, they are competing for the resources given by Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao said: "The northwest is not like the Central Plains, don't speculate on the situation of the local military households, even if Xiaoguan wants to take the martial arts exam, you must read the book well, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" or something to study more, I will bring someone to meet you when I go back, if you can...... Behave well. ”

Zhu Hao kept a few children by his side, not just to use them to help him do things.

It's for the sake of the future.

If he really takes the road of "Conglong", Zhu Houxi can't be surrounded by a bunch of old fritters, of course, he needs some young people to assist.

can be full of calculations, Zhu Houxi's relationship is good, and there are only three people, Zhu Hao, Jing Hong and Lu Bing, Lu Bing's relationship with the palace is not comparable to Zhu Hao and Jing Hong, after all, it is the son of Zhu Houxi's nurse, they have lived together since childhood, and they are not brothers but brothers.

If Zhu Hao wants to go to the next level and win Zhu Houxi's favor, he must have a group of peers to fight side by side with him.

After all, there is a common language among peers.

The civil officials and guards who ate with them in the palace also had children of the same age as Zhu Houyu at home, and perhaps occasionally met Zhu Houyu, and had a slight impression, so they were reused...... But they obviously can't be used by Zhu Hao, and even Lu Bing won't be willing to be Zhu Hao's junior brother......

Therefore, if the boss wants to find supporters, it is better to cultivate them from an early age, which can be regarded as a kind of "follower cultivation plan".

Zhu Hao will take Zhu Houyu to meet with a few children at a certain time in the future, so that they can cultivate their feelings.

If they become adults, Zhu Hao will introduce Guan Jing and them to Zhu Houyu again, then Zhu Houyu will only regard these children as Zhu Hao's followers, and will not entrust them with more trust and support.

Inheriting the throne as a son of a side branch of the royal family, how thin the forces around Zhu Houyu in history are, Zhu Hao knows very well that it is precisely because of that kind of isolation and helplessness that Zhu Houyu will appoint more people from Xingwangfu, which represents the trust that can be shared together.

……

……

After buying all the new materials, Zhu Hao asked Guan Jing to return to the workshop with the Li brothers and Min Feiyuan, and he walked back to the palace.

Zhu Hao has been home less often recently, also because he is concentrating on the next step to make money.

The glazed products have come to an end, the biggest gain is not the silver mirror and glasses, but the official separation from the Zhu family, but with the character of the old lady, the Zhu family will definitely counterattack when they turn back, and then it depends on whether there is a way to make the Zhu family not take care of this kind of useless internal family disputes.

I don't want your family to be ruined, but I ask you to have no time to take care of others.

"Where did you go?"

As soon as Zhu Hao entered the gate of the palace, before he could enter the West Cross Courtyard, he saw Tang Yin walking drunk and coming towards him.

I didn't see anyone from Tang Yin in class in the morning.

Originally, Tang Yin was not very good at teaching, but this time Jiang Lun came back, and it seemed that he was a little exposed.

Zhu Hao said: "I went out to get something and came back." ”

"What? Take a look. ”

Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao, holding an item that looked like a bamboo tube in his hand.

It was a telescope made by Zhu Hao with convex lenses and concave lenses, and he was going to show it to a few children in the coming day and play it as a toy.

Zhu Hao handed the things to Tang Yin, Tang Yin looked at it in his hand for a long time and couldn't get the essentials, and then Zhu Hao motioned for him to put it in front of him...... He was so frightened that he almost threw his monoculars to the ground.

Fortunately, Zhu Hao's eyes were quick and he took the telescope.

"I said Mr. Lu, I'll show you, don't destroy the baby." Zhu Hao said dissatisfied.

Tang Yin seemed to be frightened at this moment, and then took the telescope again, took it and looked at it from a distance for a long time, and then asked in surprise: "Is this ...... Who gave it to you? ”

Zhu Hao pouted: "Can't I buy it from outside?" ”

Tang Yin said angrily: "Can't you tell the truth?" This thing...... Is it available on the market? It's unheard of! ”

Zhu Hao said: "After Mr. Lu met me, he has seen too many things that he has never heard of, and this one is not bad...... If Mr. Lu is not qualified for the errand of teaching in the palace, it is better to ask King Xing for a replacement...... Get out of the way, go away! ”
