There are more than 5,000 men, women, and children in the Eighteen Villages. It is a big project to deal with them.
Zhou Gu walked towards Jiang Zhu, patted him on the shoulder, and smiled at him: "Brother, thank you very much. I know that you take half of the credit for solving this matter so happily. I will write a letter to His Highness the Crown Prince. If you tell me what you have done, Ning Chi will also give you some details to show your merit."
Jiang Zhu also smiled and sighed melancholy, "The Eighteenth Village has been entrenched for decades. If I had been a vigilante and run a decent business, I would be content to be trapped in the Eighteenth Village and be the leader of a village. , at least, it can be considered as a filial piety, guarding the family business for the parents, and letting the brothers live a peaceful life. But someone happened to have the idea of Eighteen Villages, went to Nanping Marquis, and then came to Pingxi General's Mansion. If this continues, the Eighteenth Village Thousands of people in the village are just swords in someone's hands and stepping stones under their feet. Not only the family business, but also the lives of the brothers are difficult to save. Accepting the imperial court's recruitment is the only way out."
Zhou Gu nodded, "Brother Jiang can see clearly and has a clear mind. His Royal Highness knows people well and uses them well. He is wise and loves money. If Brother Jiang can enter the court, he will have a great future."
Jiang Zhu didn't answer this, but instead asked Zhou Gu with a smile, "Where's Brother Zhou?"
Zhou Gu wondered, "What about me?"
Jiang Zhu lowered his voice, "Brother Zhou, who was named on the gold medal list, why have you been traveling for three years? Is it really because of the rumors outside that you are using your travels to help His Royal Highness eliminate dissidents?"
Zhou Gu did not object to this, and said seriously, "Isn't it true? These eighteen villages have always been a potential big trouble for the imperial court. Now that they are able to recruit people, I can also be considered as indispensable. Clearing the country for His Highness the Crown Prince can also be considered as a blessing for Daliang. "
Jiang Zhu shook his head, "I don't think that's the case, Brother Zhou."
Zhou Gu said "Oh?" "Then what do you think?"
Jiang Zhu whispered: "Miss Su Qi, the princess of Southern Chu."
Zhou Gu was stunned, "Brother Jiang, what do you say?"
Jiang Zhu looked at him, "I personally think that Brother Zhou is Miss Su Qi and plans to go to Nanchu."
Zhou Gu laughed and said, "How can you guess this? I came from the Duke Protector's Palace and stayed with the prince in the East Palace for several years. No matter what, you shouldn't say this."
Jiang Zhu shook his head, "There is no basis for my guess. I just think that if a woman like Brother Zhou can get your attention, he will probably not give up. Even if you have broken off the engagement."
Zhou Gu dropped the smile on his face, "Brother Jiang doesn't have much contact with me, but he can see through me. It's not a pleasant thing to see a person through, or to be seen through by someone who is not very close to him." ."
The implication is, do you want to die?
Jiang Zhu seemed to feel the murderous intention coming from Zhou Gu, and he laughed, "Brother Zhou, don't be upset. What I mean is that I want to ask Brother Zhou for an introduction, or to recommend one or two, and I want to seek refuge with Miss Su Qi. Find an official position in Nanchu."
Zhou Gu looked at Jiang Zhu in surprise, quite shocked.
"What did you say? You want me to..." He came to recruit for His Highness the Crown Prince and Daliang. Why did the person he wanted to recruit go to Su Rong instead?
Jiang Zhu repeated it again, with a serious look on his face.
Zhou Gu didn't understand, "You haven't seen her, have you?"
"I haven't seen her yet. But it doesn't prevent me from thinking that Miss Su Qi is a powerful person. If she chooses such a master, she may have a lot to do." Jiang Zhudao.
"Why not choose the prince?"
"The prince has cherished talents for many years, but if I join the Eastern Palace, it would be just the icing on the cake. There is no shortage of capable people under the prince. But Miss Su Qi is different. Miss Su Qi has no foundation. She went to Nanchu to seize the throne. It’s different from being left penniless and starting from scratch. Although the road ahead is full of dangers, a man is a true man and can gain wealth despite danger.”
He didn't have to say much, but when he said this, all smart people understood.
Zhou Gu clicked his tongue, "Abandoning your family and career? You know, if you go to Nanchu, no one will care about your relatives."
"Those who are in charge will be arranged by the imperial court. Brothers who are willing to go will follow me to Nanchu. Brothers who are not willing to go will stay in Daliang. The same goes for old people, women, children, and children. Those who are willing to go, follow me, and those who are not willing to go, Leave it to the other brothers to take care of." Jiang Zhu seemed to have thought about it a long time ago, "How about it? Brother Zhou, I really want to follow Miss Su Qi, the future Queen of Nanchu, and be her humerus minister in the future. It is better than being in Daliang. In the officialdom, seek a place in front of the prince among thousands of people."
Zhou Gu took a breath and patted his shoulder heavily, "It's a good idea."
After he finished speaking, he looked carefully at Jiang Zhu's face.
Jiang Zhu felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at him and touched his face, "Is there something on my face?"
"No." Zhou Gu turned his head, no longer looking at him, and asked him: "You just want to be the minister of the humerus, right?"
"right."
"You are determined and won't change your mind after arriving in Nanchu, right?" Zhou Gu asked again.
"Maybe not?" Jiang Zhu was a little confused when he asked, "Brother Zhou has something to say, but please speak up."
Zhou Gu grabbed a strand of hair on one side of his body and twisted it in his hand. After a few turns, he let go and said to him: "As long as you promise not to have other thoughts after meeting her, I can do it for you." You recommend."
"What are you thinking?" Jiang Zhu was puzzled.
Zhou Gu didn't have anything he couldn't say, and said bluntly: "The love between children. If someone is too smart, it will be easy for her to become obsessed with her when she is around him, so I don't worry about it."
Jiang Zhu: "..."
Should he thank him and praise him for being smart?
He looked at Zhou Gu suspiciously, as if he was meeting him for the first time, and didn't understand how he could say such straightforward words in such a calm tone. What was Young Master Zhou like in the Protector's Mansion before? Is he such a person?
Zhou Gu said with a sullen face, "Didn't you guess that she is the one I care about? Since I care about her, I naturally don't want others to care about her."
Jiang Zhu was stunned for a moment, covered his lips and coughed twice. He didn't know whether to laugh or to keep a straight face, "Brother Zhou, what about this?"
He hasn't met anyone before, so he's so defensive? Besides, do you want him to remind him that according to rumors, Miss Su Qi and Mr. Ye Er seem to be engaged? To be on guard, it is the Second Young Master Ye of Nanchu Ye Prime Minister's Mansion who should be on guard against this matter.
"As for that." Zhou Gu nodded, "Let me ask you, do you agree?"
Jiang Zhu said nothing.
Zhou Gu looked at him and reminded: "Brother Jiang, you have read thousands of books and have great ambitions. Since you plan to be a minister of humerus, you must be a minister of humerus unswervingly. Don't give up halfway or go astray." , and you have gone astray. Otherwise, your original intention of reading so many books will be in vain."
Jiang Zhu looked at Zhou Gu with difficulty in speaking, "Brother Zhou, has anyone ever said this to you?"
Monthly ticket, okay?
