As the upper echelons of the Mengxi Bai tribe collectively lost their voices, they rarely remained silent about the emperor's grandson Zhao Ying's open recruitment of troops in the village. Therefore, this information was quickly interpreted as a tacit approval of Zhao Ying's recruitment, and even It's encouragement.
"Why don't the clan elders stop it? That must be support. The emperor's eldest grandson obviously has a bright future, and it is definitely not wrong to follow him. It's just that the elders are too embarrassed to support them publicly because of their face. After all, they just rejected the 18th Young Master some time ago. …”
I don’t know how this public opinion arose, but once it started, I couldn’t hold it back at all. Not to mention some young people in the village, even some young people who were studying in the school, they had thoughts in their hearts when they heard this. .
Therefore, Zhao Ying's recruitment this time was much smoother than expected.
From morning to afternoon, there were tens of thousands of applicants, and there was a long queue throughout the martial arts arena. In recent years, the Mengxibai clan has been unwilling to participate in the affairs of the DPRK and China, and they have been unwilling to take sides easily. In fact, the most direct consequence is that the life of these clansmen, who started their careers with military exploits, is not very easy.
Zhao Ying's arrival this time opened a gap for them.
Therefore, Zhao Ying had to raise the standards for conscription again. Even so, the final number exceeded 3,000. Most of these 3,000 people had participated in daily training with the elders of the clan since childhood, and their military qualities in all aspects far exceeded Ordinary people. It can be said that even now equipped with weapons and armor, it is still a qualified team.
What surprised Zhao Ying in particular was that most of them were descendants of the Mengxibai tribe. Although many of them did not read much, most of them could simply understand some characters.
In this day and age, that's a total baby bump.
Zhao Ying waved his hand and asked Xiong He Jingquan to be taken back.
Although Mei County is not far from Xianyang, he has many affairs and does not have time to spend traveling back and forth. However, they did not occupy the imperial barracks in Xianyang. Instead, after consulting the First Emperor's wishes, they took him directly to his farm.
Here, it is close to Shanglin Garden. With the support of the First Emperor, when you train, you can go directly to Shanglin Garden, which is convenient and spacious.
"These are the toys given to you by the eldest father - all the treatment will be allocated according to the palace guards. If there is anything missing, you can just go to Shi Lu Shaofu directly, and I will say hello there. As for the others, just It’s up to you…”
At the entrance of Ganquan Palace, the First Emperor gently patted Zhao Ying on the shoulder.
"You go back to Marquis Wu Cheng's house. Starting tomorrow, you can learn a little bit about the art of war. As - as my eldest grandson, you don't know how to fight, but it's a big taboo..."
When Zhao Ying heard this, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed!
"Thank you, Dad!"
The First Emperor smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he could go back. After walking out of the gate of Ganquan Palace, Zhao Ying couldn't help but wave his arms excitedly.
Looking at the back of Zhao Ying leaving happily, the First Emperor slowly withdrew his gaze, hit his aching waist, and Hei Momo stepped forward to help the First Emperor's arm.
"Am I a little impatient..."
The First Emperor suddenly stopped.
Hei looked down at his toes, pondered for a moment, and then whispered.
"Young master, you are very clever..."
The First Emperor nodded and said no more.
Don't blame your eldest father for forcing you to be too hasty. It's because I'm getting old and I'm worried that my body won't be able to hold on for much longer. I just hope that you can live up to your expectations and try your best to give me more surprises.
…
"Aweng took Zhao Ying to Mei County, and he only recruited three thousand child soldiers?"
Hu Hai was stunned when he heard the news.
In his opinion, this kind of thing is like entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed. If you leave such a good source of disease and don't recruit more useful talents, what does it mean to recruit a group of child soldiers?
It's just nonsense.
The key thing is that even if it is nonsense, his own Awen supports him without any compromise. This is what makes him feel that the problem is serious.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Hu Hai subconsciously looked at Zhao Gao, who was sitting aside. Zhao Gao's face was a little gloomy. As the official of the CRRC, the First Emperor was traveling, so he missed such an important thing.
Although it was a temporary incident, I'm afraid it's not a good sign.
When did it start?
It seems that since the emperor's eldest grandson appeared next to His Majesty, his role has been inexplicably reduced.
Upon hearing Hu Hai's words, Zhao Gao pondered for a long time and then gently shook his head.
"I don't understand - it can't really be that I just want to recruit a few playmates for the emperor's eldest grandson?"
"What does the left prime minister mean?"
Hu Hai turned his attention to Li Si, who was silent.
"I still feel that it is better to be still than to move. His Majesty's thoughts are like the sea, which cannot be speculated or controlled. Instead of worrying about these things, the Eighteenth Young Master might as well do the things in front of you first, such as the charcoal..."
Hu Hai:......
You must be a spy sent by Zhao Ying!
He felt that this bitch Li Si must be perfunctory with him, but since he relied on him more often in the future, he did not dare to rush into him, so he could only nod his head dullly. Li Si knew at a glance that Hu Hai must not have listened to what he said, and staying here would only be an eyesore, so he simply stood up and left.
Hu Hai personally sent Li Si out of the gate, and when he came back, he smashed the tea cup on the spot.
"You bitch, you will perfunctory me——"
Zhao Gao looked at Hu Hai who was out of control and sighed calmly.
"My subordinate feels that the situation is still on His Highness's side. Although the Emperor's eldest grandson is quite favored by His Majesty, as long as the eldest son cannot turn back and submit, it will all be in vain in the end——"
Speaking of this, Zhao Gao spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
"Now that the New Year is coming, Your Highness, as a brother, why don't you write a letter to the eldest son, admonishing him, asking him to be more considerate and caring about your majesty, and less talking back to your majesty. If the eldest son can repent, wouldn't it be a good thing? …”
"My eldest brother is so stubborn that he can't pull ten bulls back. How can it be... wonderful!"
Hu Hai suddenly woke up, slapped his thigh and gave Zhao Gao a thumbs up.
"Getting Master Zhao alone is like getting Bailixi from Duke Mu——"
This guy's words frightened Zhao Gao to death.
"Master, be careful what you say, Master, be careful what you say..."
…
Wuchenghou Mansion.
"Fourteen to eighteen years old?"
"Prioritize those who have read books?"
"Do those other than Meng Xibai's family account for 10% of the 30%?"
Wang Jian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the news his son Wang Ben got from his colleagues, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"This young master, it seems, his ambitions are not small..."
Wang Ben nodded.
"My child remembers that the young master is only sixteen years old after this year, right? Can he understand these principles? I'm afraid that's what His Majesty means..."
Wang Jian couldn't help but sigh silently when he saw that his son was still an afterthought.
"Did your Majesty ask anyone to come to you today? What did you say..."
