Zhu Zhen spent a full ten days, walked through all 36 battalions, had a cordial and friendly conversation with the people, and clearly conveyed the court's determination to keep them and his own attention to them to each of them.

Although the people are very homesick, their arms can't twist their thighs, not to mention that the prince does give too much, and there are absolutely no such good conditions for going back. If it is really as the prince said, and it is sent back by the imperial court, wouldn't it be beaten by chickens and eggs, and he will die of death?

As a philosopher once said, life is like being like that, if you can't resist, then choose to enjoy it......

So after a few days of depression, the leaders of the people of each battalion made an appointment, and as soon as the Shangyuan Festival passed, they collectively went to the palace of the king of Dian to reply to the prince.

Zhu Zhen cordially received them and invited them to dine in his palace. And as long as the conditions they put forward were not too excessive, he agreed to them all. Full of sincerity, the leaders of the people were flattered.

What surprised them even more was that it was still to come, and the prince also offered them generous conditions......

~~

"You're all talented." Zhu Zhen smiled and said to the thirty-six leaders of the people:

"To be able to get the support of the old and young masters of the whole battalion in one year and become their talkers shows that you are all natural leaders."

"The prince has won the award," Chang San and the others hurriedly said modestly: "The little ones are just usually nosy. Everyone is afraid to deal with the officials, we are just thick-skinned......"

"It's also a hard shot." Tong Tiehan, the leader of the saber battalion, interjected with a smile.

Obviously, this person's level is a little higher than Chang San......

"Hahaha, willing to run for everyone's affairs, this is warm-hearted; is not afraid to show his face, he is a scene person; The most important thing is to convince the big guys and recognize that you represent them. Zhu Zhen gave a group of folk leaders a high hat:

"You can't waste your talent in vain, why don't you go back and make a difference, set up guilds in each battalion, and you will be the first president?"

"Guild Master?" The leaders looked at each other.

"Why haven't you heard of it?" Zhu Zhen asked with a smile.

"Of course I did." Chang San replied: "For example, in our hometown of Suzhou, there is a silk industry guild, and the president Gu Yuanchen stomped his feet, and Suzhou City had to tremble. ”

"Is it so powerful? The king's palace in Suzhou, isn't he going to shake down the tiles? Zhu Zhen couldn't help laughing.

"Hehe, the prince said that he was laughing, then of course President Gu can't compare with the prince." Chang San hurriedly laughed.

"But as the old saying goes, those guild leaders are great people." Han Liu, the leader of the pottery battalion, said:

"For example, the porcelain industry guild in Jingdezhen, the president is a master who is more powerful than the county master. We can't read these words, but we can also be presidents? ”

"yes." All the leaders nodded their heads, and they really didn't dare to think about it.

"Hehehe......" Zhu Zhen smiled and took a sip of the wine cup.

Teacher Luo, who was sitting with him on the side, consciously became a tool man, shook his head and smiled: "There is a way to be a prince and a general, rather a kind?" Why are a group of idiots cocooned and self-bound, and even a guild leader dare not think about it? ”

After a pause, he said provocatively: "Besides, I didn't let you go to Jingdezhen to be the president of the porcelain industry and Suzhou to be the president of the silk industry, but just to form a few grass platform teams in Yunnan, and you don't have the courage to deal with it?" ”

"That should be okay, you can't be a crested head, you can make do with being a chicken head......" The leaders sneered.

"And don't blame the old man for not reminding you, this is your only chance to change your fate. If you catch them, it is possible to rise to the top and grow into a big businessman like Cheng Qian and Gu Yuanchen, who calls for wind and rain and is on an equal footing with the official master! Luo Guanzhong raised his voice and said seductively:

"What is a godsend? It's a godsend! After this village, there is no such shop, and it is impossible for the prince to give you a second chance! ”

The leaders of the 36th battalion present were all human spirits. The drum doesn't need a heavy hammer, how can you not understand what Luo Guanzhong means?

The heart said that it doesn't matter if the fuck is competent, let's occupy the pit first!

So they all left the table and knelt on the ground, thanking the prince for his kindness.

"Hehe, get up." Zhu Zhen raised his hand with a warm smile and asked them to get up and speak, and then said with a loud smile:

"You must be muttering to yourself, why us? Right? ”

"Yes, what the prince said is right." Chang San and the others nodded one after another: "We have a small nose and small eyes, how can we be loved by the prince?" ”

"The reason is simple, historical opportunity." Zhu Zhen said lightly:

"It's like a mountain forest, because the fire has burned everything up, and all the animals have run away. But after a few years, the vegetation is lush again, and there are animals in the forest, and there may only be a few small birds and rabbits, and that one monkey may be the king, understand? ”

"There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king?" Chang San blurted out.

Tong Tie and Han Liu both glanced at him, and said in their hearts that this person was indeed quite good...... Guarding the monk and not scolding the bald man, there is a big king here, doesn't he scold the prince for being a monkey?

The corners of Mr. Luo's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhen would not be as knowledgeable as this kind of little person, so he only glanced at Chang San, and then continued:

"The words are not rough, although you are all talents, but there is no performance that impresses this king at present, but we are in Yunnan and waiting to be revived, everything is starting from scratch, and someone has to do something, so we can only pull the general out of the sand and drive you ducks to the shelves first."

"That's it......" Hearing what the prince said, the leader of the 36th battalion felt a lot more at ease, at least knowing that this was not a pit.

"Therefore, this king has said ugly things in front, and you all have to give me the strength to breastfeed, and help this king stabilize the thirty-six battalions of people." Zhu Zhen said in an accentuated tone:

"Whichever battalion of people is passive and slacking off, this king will hit the board of the chairman of which battalion! Whichever battalion of the people escapes the most, this king will punish the sin of the president! ”

After a pause, he then said murderously: "If any battalion dares to make trouble, this king will be the first to cut off the head of the president!" Do you understand?! ”

"Yes...... the leaders trembled, and said in their hearts that they really couldn't believe that pie fell from the sky. This errand is really not good, and if you don't do it well, you will be punished and even lose your head......

Only then did Zhu Zhen slow down his tone, and then promised:

"As long as they can settle down in peace and stability without making trouble, running away, or slacking off, you will be a great achievement, and this king will never treat you badly! Whether it's wealth or origin, you are indispensable! ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." The leaders thanked each other, but they were a little weak.
