"The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!" Zhu Jun said: "I don't like to paint big cakes for others. I always give clear rewards and punishments.
You have done a good job for me, and you deserve the praise.
If you fail, don't blame me for being harsh.
You are a talent, and I am optimistic about you.
Besides, this money is not just for you, but also for my support for the work of the Arch Guard Department.
There will be many places where I will use you in the future.
This king will also write this matter in the memorial, so I won’t make it difficult for you. "
If Song Zhong refused, he would have offended Zhu Jun, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Wu. It is better to obey orders than to be humble and respectful!"
"When we get to know each other from now on, we are all brothers, so there is no need to be cautious!" Zhu Jun said with a smile.
"They all say that the King of Wu is loyal and loyal. He never cares about his status when making friends. As long as he is approached, he will respond to all requests. Today, I saw that it is indeed the case!" Song Zhong thought to himself, but said: "How can I dare to be a brother to Your Highness in such a humble position?" It’s a humble job!”
Zhu Jun hooked his shoulder and said, "When I make friends, I never care about my status or age, but I want to be sincere!"
Song Zhong sent a few more flatterers one after another. When the heavy rain outside stopped, he took his leave and left with the heavy box in his arms.
Zhu Jun even personally escorted him to the gate of the camp, creating the impression that he valued Song Zhong particularly.
"Your Highness, is this going too far?" Li Ji said domineeringly.
"Humans always have emotions and desires. The most direct way is to throw money at him, and then let him come to the army to share his experience after the relationship becomes familiar."
"He's from the Guards Department, here to share his military training experience?" Li Jiba couldn't understand.
"Stupid, he is capable if he can obey the superiors and subordinates of the Guards Department. When the time comes, he will call the middle-level officers such as the small flag, general flag, and deputy commander over to listen to him teach how to manage people. Not only will he be able to grow up After losing face, we got along well again and got closer to each other.
At that time, we will arrange for some smart people to enter the Guards Department to learn how to be a scout. Isn't this a legitimate reason?
Can he think that we want to put people in?
As long as we find out the details of the Guards Department here, it will be a trivial matter.
In the future, from the bottom up, with our support, they will all be our own! "
Li Jiba suddenly came to his senses and said, "Your Highness is wise, but the humble minister is unable to flatter you!"
...
On the other side, Song Zhong entered the carriage and let out a sigh of relief, "This King of Wu is really a nice person, he doesn't have any temper. In the early years, King Qin, King Jin and King Yan all trained here, shouting and drinking, treating us like dogs.
Unlike the King of Wu, he showed great respect without losing his majesty. "
Recalling all the events these days, he couldn't help but smile. Working under a person like Zhu Jun, he was very attentive to everything he did.
Looking at the box, he couldn't help but rub his hands, and then he opened it carefully, and what he saw was the yellow gold.
He was stunned, and immediately took a breath, "Good boy, gold?"
The box has two layers. The top layer is gold and marked as a reward for him.
Although it is only a thin layer, it is still significant.
And below are all neatly arranged silver.
He calculated that fifty taels of gold, plus one thousand taels of silver, could just make up one thousand five hundred taels of silver.
Although His Majesty stipulates that one tael of gold is worth four taels of silver, the price on the market is basically seven or eight taels.
The quality of this piece is so good that it cannot be compared to those of miscellaneous gold. One tael can be exchanged for ten taels, and some people can exchange it.
He quickly covered the box. These five hundred taels were enough for him to be on duty for ten years.
Although he would make some money every year, he didn't dare to make too much. He could use this money openly. After all, it was rewarded by Zhu Jun.
As for the one thousand taels of silver, he could use it at will. Thinking of this, he felt extremely happy.
I can't help but be grateful to Zhu Jun.
"I must serve King Wu well!" he thought in his heart.
However, investigating the town property is not easy.
He thought of something, his mood was a little low, and his expression was a little complicated.
"We have to find an opportunity to remind King Wu not to let him get involved too deeply!"
...
At the same time, Fengyang Lake.
Although the heavy rain was intermittent, it continued for several days. The lake was already overflowing with its embankments, and now it was even more out of control. The floods broke down the embankments of the tributaries, and more than a dozen nearby villages suddenly became a swamp.
The villagers who were repairing the embankment were caught off guard and were covered by the flood and sand. At that time, no one knew how many people were involved in the water, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
The helpless people could only look at their thatched houses and mud houses falling into the water.
They asked the children to climb up the tree and put the elderly people in the basin of water so that they would not drown.
Those young and strong people worked hard to rescue.
The cries and shouts, under the dim sky, were hysterical and desperate.
A pregnant woman clung to the tree trunk with difficulty. She had already had fetal motility just now, and now her stomach was aching.
Although there are some lucky people who go up the mountain, they are only a minority.
More people were swept away before they could escape.
The village head of a large village cried and shouted: "Hurry, go and deliver the message, if you don't come to save me, it's all over!"
"God, please, don't get off. Even if you don't drown, you'll freeze to death!"
"Dad, where are you? I'm so scared. Please help me..."
"Help, help! Fengyang Lake has completely burst its dam, and more than a dozen villages including Daxiang Village have been flooded. Help!" Amidst the rain, five or six big men ran barefoot towards Fengyang City. .
However, the way was blocked by the soldiers guarding the city.
They looked at the anxious big man and felt a little unbearable in their hearts.
"Master, saving people is like putting out fire. Human lives are at stake. That's thousands of lives!"
Those big men knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "Please let us in..."
The soldiers who stopped them felt a little unbearable, but thinking of the orders from above, they thought that if they were let in today, they would be in trouble, "You go back first, I will send someone to inform you!"
"Master Jun, don't lie to us. The last time Xiaohe Village was flooded, no one went to save them. It was people from several nearby villages who went to save them." A man said.
"You also know that it rains continuously, the Huaihe River and the Yangtze River flood even more severely, and all the people are going to fix the embankments there.
I sympathize with your experience, but...if the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers were to collapse, the entire Fengyang and even several surrounding places would suffer, and that would be hundreds of thousands of people.
Which one is more important, can you tell clearly? "
"There's no one left? Doesn't the court just care about us?" A man said in despair.
"No, there are still people. Isn't King Wu training here? If we can ask King Wu, we will be saved!"
After the words fell, several people became excited, but the officer said coldly: "If you dare to attack the King of Wu, you will risk your life?"
