The next morning, Zhu Long got up, his face was a little tired, because Mrs. Li had broken into his dream several times last night, so that he had not slept well.

He couldn't help but glance at the maid who was handing him a towel in the basin, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a decent appearance, water and spirit, full of youthful vitality......

The maid was startled when she saw the eldest young master looking at her with strange eyes, and her heart rippled, and her face was red to the root of her ears.

She had heard many things about evil young people "bullying" handmaidens, or handmaidens seducing young masters for the sake of glory and wealth...... In short, the relationship between the young master and the maidservant is always so ambiguous and unclear.

But the eldest young master is completely different, he almost ignores her, he doesn't even know what her name is, every day he rides horses and competes with those rude men, fights and kills, like a child who has not grown up.

Actually, I wish the eldest young master to be handsome, smart and decisive, she is not disgusted with him, but the eldest young master never seems to treat her as a girl, and looking at her eyes is no different from looking at the sweeping old man.

"Your name, your name is Satsuki?" Zhu Long said uncertainly.

"The slave's name is Zhiyue." The little maid said a little aggrieved.

"Zi said?"

"Zhiyue! The Shore Zhi Tinglan of the Cinctyl, the Moon of the Moon. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zhu Long sincerely apologizes.

A great god once said that the imperial power is within a thousand miles, ten steps away.

Authority requires ceremonies, pomp, costumes, palace decoration to give a sense of majesty. Within ten steps, no matter how great a person is, he is only a mortal, and he is also helpless and weak.

Many powerful people who were powerful for a while did not die dignified, and even died tragically, that is, they did not manage well "within ten steps"

Zhu Long's sincere apology made the little maid embarrassed, and stumbled: "No, it's okay!" ”

"Well, Zhiyue, you go down!"

The little maid fled in a panic, Zhu Long touched his chin, he took history as a mirror, played power and scheming seriously, engaged in politics, how to make the atmosphere like a domineering president.

Zhu Hu's performance yesterday stimulated him, and he was happy for his second brother's progress from the bottom of his heart, but he also reflected on his laziness.

Zhu Hu has completely stepped into the threshold of a first-class master, and he is still outside with one foot!

Although no matter how busy he is every day, he has to practice martial arts for at least half an hour, but compared with those who practice four or five hours a day, he still doesn't work hard enough - such as Lu Yuanwai, who "only cares about boiling up his strength every day, and is not close to women".

There happened to be no one to disturb him today, he practiced for more than two hours, stick skills, marksmanship, and mounted archery, and did not stop until more than ten o'clock in the morning, took a shower, changed his clothes, and began to go to work.

Came to the meeting hall, Lu Fang stayed outside the door to guard, Wu Yong and Xiao Rang were working here, Xiao Rang had nothing to do, and he was dancing and writing there.

Wu Yong is very busy. He is now not only a confidential military advisor, but also manages internal affairs, and has become the top boss of all the stewards of Zhujiazhuang.

He enjoys the busyness of everything under his own will and control.

Although he had only been in the past two days, he had already grasped the situation and was giving orders to several stewards.

Zhu Long observed the expressions of those stewards, all of them were happy and convinced, and there was no unconvinced look.

Wu Yong still has two brushes, although not as powerful as he imagined.

"Lord!" Wu Yong stood up, shook the banana fan in one hand, and greeted with a smile.

"The big official is here?" Xiao Rang also got up and stood.

"Big young master!" The stewards hurriedly bowed and bent over.

Zhu Long nodded and smiled at everyone, and said to the stewards, "You all get busy!" ”

The stewards all withdrew.

Wu Yong proposed: "Lord, next to the council hall, there is a row of rooms that are vacant, and I want to clean up the two rooms and use them as office rooms." ”

"You don't have to tell me about this little thing, just decide for yourself!"

"Li Ying's family was rescued yesterday?" Xiao Rang asked.

"Well, rescued. Mrs. Li Ying also wanted to give me the grain that Li Jiazhuang had accumulated for many years, but I didn't accept it, but only promised to help them move to a safe place. ”

"Huh!" Xiao Rang smiled, with an expression that you are too hypocritical.

Wu Yong said with a look of regret: "It's a pity that I didn't cut off my beard." Otherwise, I wish Jiazhuang three or five years of military spending will be settled. ”

"There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't have to force it!" Zhu Long's face was unfathomable.

Wu Yongzhi shook his head, feeling that Zhu Long's words were too inconsistent with his identity. Is it convincing for a person who secretly pokes and prodders rebellion to say such a thing? What are you doing raising an army to recruit fierce generals? If you don't fight or grab, will the glory and wealth fall on your head?

He didn't care, and casually proposed: "It's better than nothing, how about sending someone to the third master?" It's not a fundamental place, but it's also a way out! ”

Zhu Long adopted his opinion and said, "What the military advisor said is that I will go to Chen Shou and let the prisoners be sent to transport grain and send it to Liangshan!" ”

"I'm going to ask Captain Chen Yingwei to come over, why do you need the officials to go there in person." Xiao Rang stood up and was stopped by Zhu Long.

Zhu Long smiled helplessly: "How can I be so expensive, I am tired from walking?" I also want to go and see how the prisoner camp is and if it can be used. After all, Chen Shou had only taken over them for less than a few days. ”

"Let's go check it out!" Wu Yong proposed, and the three of them took Lu Fang and came to the prisoner camp.

The prisoner camp was built outside the back gate of Zhujiazhuang, on a vacant lot between the city wall and the moat, with one side against the wall and three sides of the fence.

When Zhu Long and the others came, they saw Zhu Hu and Chen Shou sneaking at the gate of the camp, Zhu Hu had a shy face and a flattering smile, which made Zhu Long puzzled.

What's the situation?

Zhu Hu actually came to curry favor with Chen Shou?

Zhu Long was very curious, called the two of them over, and interrogated them.

"Didn't there be a meeting two days ago and say that the new recruits of the prisoner battalion were to be allocated? Chen Shou has already selected more than 300 soldiers who are proficient in water, and they are ready to be sent to the third brother, and then in addition to the two hundred battalions, the remaining 100 people will belong to my personal guard battalion, no, I will pick people before Lin Chong and Qin Ming, and I want to pick some good soldiers...... "Zhu Hu explained.

"Is that so?" Zhu Long asked Chen Shou suspiciously.

Chen Shou nodded again and again, "Yes, that's it!" Even if the second master doesn't come, I will pick them out and send them to the guard camp. Although they are all Zhu Jiajun, but there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, can this arm still be turned out? ”

"Have you picked it out?" Zhu Long couldn't cry or laugh, and he couldn't say anything.

"It's been picked, and there it is!" Zhu Hu pointed to a row of soldiers standing under the city wall, all of them were sturdy young men, shirtless, and their muscles were bumpy.

How could Zhu Long let go of this opportunity for the leader to speak?

He walked over, stood in front of the recruits, and gave an enthusiastic speech.

First of all, congratulate them on the completion of their transformation from the prisoner camp, welcome them to join the elite pro-guard army, and encourage them to train hard and fight the enemy.

Zhu Daguan said that Zhu Jiajun is a place with strict discipline and clear punishment for good deeds, and meritorious service will be rewarded and mistakes will be punished, and as long as they perform well and kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, they will be able to rise to an important position.

Zhu Daguan pointed out that Zhu Jiajun is a warm big family, everyone is brothers and sisters, we must be united and fraternal, and we are all companions who depend on each other for life and death on the battlefield.

In the end, Zhu Daguan shook hands with everyone, talked cordially, and asked them how many people they had in their family, how many pigs they raised, and how many acres of land they planted......

Everyone felt the concern of Zhu Daguan for the new soldiers, and they all said that they should train diligently, practice their skills, be a qualified soldier, and live up to the ardent expectations of Zhu Daguan.
