Guo Kang himself didn't expect that Zhu Wenkui was very interested in this thing. He said it was a pity that he had not noticed the device before. He can help more in the future. If there is an opportunity, he hopes to visit the site and study it more.
Guo Kang mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect him to be so interested, so he agreed to see if he could be of any help in the future.
As for the issue of contacting the Ming Dynasty, the expected results were not obtained. Zhu Wenkui said that he thought what Guo Kang said was reasonable, but unfortunately, he did not have the final say on this matter.
Everyone in Zi Zhang believed that Ming Dynasty probably had no intention of caring about it. But maybe it was because he was too embarrassed, or he was afraid of being held accountable later. In short, Zhu Yunwen never accepted the kindness.
He told his son and daughter that Grandpa Taizu was a commoner who made his fortune from scratch. Although they may not have such luck, it is not as difficult as it was in the Central Plains. Therefore, we must make a difference and not embarrass our ancestors.
Since then, Zhu Yunwen has been insisting on his great cause of attracting people and has not been idle to this day.
"If I have the chance, I will do my best to help you contact the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Wenkui said apologetically: "It's just that no official envoy has come here for a long time, and I just listened to Sister Jeanna, and occasionally There was an informant hired by the Ming Dynasty who came into contact with her. I will tell you when I met her."
"Actually, you can also send your own envoys to try." He suggested: "Although there are risks, as long as someone succeeds, it can truly prove the feasibility of this route."
"Other people are not sure, but as far as I know, Fourth Grandpa must be very enthusiastic about this. If your country can provide this suggestion and give him a reason, then he will definitely be active in the court and try to promote this without us asking. The plan to set out west to conquer Mobei. His words are much more useful than our father and son."
His words were sincere, and several people expressed their gratitude. The queen also asked him if there was anything he needed help with.
"I have nothing to do." Zhu Wenkui was a little embarrassed: "It's just that my father recently recruited a group of people and insisted on sending them here. A few days ago, those people found our home and said they were recruited by my father. The diners want us to provide hospitality."
"In the past six months, my father happened to be active in the area from Shinra to Eastern Europe. Since he was close, he sent all the talented people he discovered directly to my family. My family has now received more than a hundred guests." He frowned. Di explained: "Our family resources are limited, so we can only help them find a place to make a living and settle down. But recently, we really can't find a suitable place."
"This request is really embarrassing to say, but I don't know how to handle it. I can only ask you to tell Yusi to see if the talents of these people can be put to use." He cupped his hands and said.
"Brother said it too tactfully. Your Majesty the Queen may not understand when you speak like this." Zhu Rongna corrected her mercilessly, turning to the Queen and others: "Your Majesty, can you help us find some in the caravan sponsored by the Khan's court?" Location?"
"Dad has brought in a bunch of jugglers before, and we can't refute his reputation, so we can only help them introduce jobs every day. Recently, the circuses and caravans we know are full of people, and we can't find them at the moment. There are other better locations, I wonder if you can help?"
Zhu Wenkui looked at them awkwardly, retracted his hands into his sleeves, and looked back and forth at everyone, not knowing what to say. Guo Kang had no choice but to help him smooth things over.
"The ones recommended by King Wu before were all talented people among the people who he personally discovered." He said, "This time, I wonder if they are people who are good at something?"
"This time, he said, we have never had a reliable general. Although we have been trying to find it, we still haven't been able to solve it. It's not enough for us brothers and sisters to learn the art of war. We also have to find some capable officers." Na said: "So this time, he hired a group of mercenaries and sent them here."
"This..." Ye Guo Kang was speechless for a moment.
Zhu Yunwen insisted that it would not be possible to rely on one person alone, no matter how capable he was, someone had to come to support him. Due to his previous experiences, he was very distrustful of the nobles and had been following the Purple Tent Caravan, wandering around among the people across Europe. Whenever he went to markets, taverns and other places, he would ask the caravan's translator to help him and give speeches everywhere, calling on everyone to unite, move forward and do great things.
Most of the great nobles in Europe were too lazy to talk to ordinary people, and he was a rare exception. Maybe he has really studied how his grandfather used to recruit people from the common people; maybe an Eastern nobleman himself is attractive enough. In short, Zhu Yunwen did convince a lot of people of all kinds and used various conditions to appeal to them to support him.
Of course, the situation here is different from that in the Han Dynasty. There are far fewer educated people, and the probability of finding talents may not be too high. So far, the people Zhu Yunwen has taken under his command are at most run-down knights and city craftsmen. Many people do have some unique skills, but according to Zhu Wenkui, they are just "roosters and dog robbers" and they really can't stand on the stage.
Among the people he sent last time, there really was a Ross animal trainer. This left Zhu Wenkui brother and sister completely speechless, and decided that it would be best to recommend them to the circus, which was why Jeanne complained just now.
However, Zi Zhang is now preparing for a new war. If it does not fight to the north for the time being, it will fight to the south. At this time, a few more mercenaries would be fine. Guo Kang thought for a while and felt that he could help.
"Is there anyone with outstanding skills among this group of people?" he asked.
"They are all veterans. Speaking of skills, they should have some skills, but I don't know how much combat power they have." Jeanne spread her hands: "The leader is still a one-eyed dragon. He brags that he was originally a prince of Shinra. Later, there was some friction due to religious issues, so I had to leave. He came here to escape his enemies and make a living with us. "
"Another heretic?" Theodora asked casually.
"Yes." Jeanne nodded: "They are mainly worried about whether the people here will treat them as aliens. There is nothing else."
"Don't worry, they will soon discover that their beliefs are actually very orthodox." The queen said calmly, still looking unfazed.
"Then I'll make the arrangements?" Guo Kang turned to ask her.
The queen nodded.
"Okay. I will inform all of you... disciples after I bother you." Guo Kang said to Zhu Wenkui, "The arrangements will be made in a few days. You can also come to the school grounds to have a look. I welcome you at any time."
The two exchanged a few more polite words and ended the topic.
