Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 13 Uncle and Nephew Deeper

"The matter will be discussed again, and the children can still focus on their studies."

Zhu Di first rejected the idea of ​​the King of Han, and then asked Zhu Zhanchang to go back to rest first. If Zhu Zhanchang was granted amnesty, he went back to bed and fell asleep.

As soon as he slept until dawn, he rushed to the school in a hurry, but he was still late and had to stand after a few handicaps.

Fortunately, I have the ability to remember it, so I don't have to worry about my studies.

After a while, someone came over. It was his second uncle, the King of Han Zhu Gaojiu. Behind him were two boys, his cousins, Zhu Zhanxi, the prince of the Prince of Han, and Zhu Zhanqi, the second son.

Zhu Zhanyu and Zhu Gaojiu are very different in appearance. Zhu Gaojiu is heroic but his son is thin and weak. He is one year younger than Zhu Zhanji. As for the second sons Zhu Zhanqi and Zhu Gaojiu, they are famous "father and son filial piety" in history and can be called models.

Zhu Zhanqi is the same age as Zhu Zhanchang, and Zhu Zhanchang is slightly older than him by two months, so he is his cousin.

King Han came over with his two children, and was very happy to see Zhu Zhanchang standing at the door.

"Yo, why didn't Zhanyi go to class?" Zhu Gaojiu asked knowingly.

"I knew the second uncle was coming, so I came here specially to welcome him."

Zhu Gaojiu tutted twice: "Tsk tsk, your family is hard-mouthed."

"Second uncle, you and I are also a family."

Zhu Gaojiu laughed: "Zhansang, the old man said last night that he would not let you go to the security department, but the prince said that you should follow me. In the future, we will not only be uncles and nephews, but also colleagues."

Zhu Zhanchang's face turned black, he didn't know what his fat father thought, but it could still fall into Zhu Gaojiao's hands, okay?
After passing Zhu Zhanchang, Zhu Gaojiao went in with his two sons. Zhu Zhanchang overheard at the door and learned that it was Zhu Di who suddenly thought that the children of several brothers now go to school separately, so he came up with the idea of ​​going to school together, The relationship that grew up together is not the same after all.

Zhu Gaojiu came with his children early this morning, and his instructions to his two sons were that they could not lose in case of a fight.

The third uncle Zhu Gaosui did not come because the eldest son died young and the second son was just over a year old.

Putting the two sons in, Zhu Gaojiu walked out of the school, and then said to the teacher, "Sir, this kid is disobedient, I will teach you a lesson."

After speaking, he reached out and grabbed Zhu Zhanchang's ear, pulling him out.

"Second uncle, it hurts, it hurts."

There is no seriousness in the military personnel, of course, it may be deliberately heavy to make Zhu Zhansang hurt.

Take him to the garden. There are few people here. Chuer and Xiaosheng looked at their master but didn't dare to rescue him. Zhu Gaojiu glared at them: "Don't come here, I have something to tell this boy."

It was quiet here, and Zhu Gaojiu said in a bad tone: "Boy, why would you go to the old man to complain at such a young age, so that I have to do something like a security guard and a sinner."

"Congratulations second uncle."

"Congratulations!" Zhu Gaojiao glared at Zhu Zhanchang angrily.

Zhu Zhanchang said slowly: "Second uncle, this is a good thing for you."

"Okay? What's the good thing? I'm going to cut down the soldiers of the government for the nobles. People have to jump up and fight with me. At that time, the emperor will be filled with my memorial."

"Second uncle, you can't just look at one side." Zhu Zhanchang noticed that Zhu Gaojiu was not really angry, and it was estimated that the emperor promised a lot of benefits after he went back.

Zhu Gaojiu sat on the stone: "Then which side do you look at?"

"Second uncle, on the one hand, these government soldiers are all in your hands. If you count them, there may be several thousand troops. This is not a small team."

"I lead troops to fight in the tens of thousands, and thousands of people are still government soldiers?"

"Second uncle, I heard last year that after the Mobei Hulan Huwen War, the northern nomads all surrendered, and there will be no war in a short time. Does the second uncle want to lead troops to defend the border? It's all hard work. "

Zhu Gaojiao was quite astonished. The boy in front of him was thinking a lot, but he still said with an unhappy expression, "Is it better to be a security guard than to lead a border defense?"

"Of course it's better. If it succeeds, all the nobles will have to ask you to hire soldiers. Grandpa Huang has subsidies, and he makes money and fame. It's the best of both worlds."

"It's easy to say. When I went out in the morning, I met the British prince who had just returned to the DPRK. After a few words, he turned his head and left." Zhu Gaojiu sighed.

"Second uncle, the direction is wrong. The first-level salaries of the national leader are sufficient, and his own strength is strong. Why do you need to cut down the soldiers of the government? They are all trusted men, even those who are selected from the army. Who wants to change?"

"Then you said how to do it."

Zhu Gaojiao's real purpose was finally found out, because Zhu Zhanchang thought about the matter, and this kid had many tricks, so he wanted to ask about this kid's plan.

Zhu Zhanchang rolled his eyes: "Second Uncle, I am young and know little. I am your subordinate and I will listen to you."

"You kid, don't throw eagles if you don't see a rabbit." Zhu Gaojiu laughed: "Last night, His Majesty agreed with your idea. If the guard can have an income, you will get three cents if the income is [-]%."

"Three percent, yes, yes, what is your second uncle?"

"Why three percent?"

"It's always [-]. If I take [-], it's [-]%."

Zhu Gaojiu said three percent: "This statement is quite concise, I am ten percent."

"What about the rest?"

"Guess whose it is?"

Zhu Zhanchang and Zhu Gaojiu looked at each other with a smile and did not talk about it further. Zhu Gaojiu immediately changed his tone: "What can I do?"

"Second uncle, start with the Earl's Palace, especially those who can't make ends meet."

"Find a soft persimmon to pinch, you are cruel enough."

Zhu Zhanchang sighed helplessly: "Second uncle, I don't want you to threaten or force you to do it, but it is a huge burden for these earl's mansions, who can't make ends meet, to keep mansion soldiers, just to keep people from looking down on them."

There are not many people like this, but they are not too few, especially the old and noble left behind by Hongwu. When Lao Tzu conquered the world, his descendants may not have the ability. Those who are incompetent but used to living a luxurious life have to sell their ancestral property.

"Second uncle, talk to these people first, collect their soldiers, select the best ones, and manage them militarily, and train them all like the army, and then let them come to you to rent the soldiers to look after the homes. No need to pay salaries, only rent, which reduces their burden.”

Zhu Gaojiu thought about it and thought it was feasible: "But can you really make money just by leasing the soldiers?"

"Leasing is only part of the income. Second uncle, you implement militarized management. This is a city defense team of thousands of people and there are many veterans. Is the emperor's grandfather not allowed to allocate funds? Occasionally carry out part of the protection of urban gatherings, such as which The big restaurant has opened to go to the guard station, and the security of a foreign envoy in the city is not all about making money."

"Your brain is still easy to use." Zhu Gaojiao beat Zhu Zhanchang on the head excitedly.

"Second uncle, a good head can't stand your beating like this."

Zhu Gaojiu smiled shyly: "It is true that an earl like the one you said may be included, but a prince with power and an official position is not bad for this amount of money."

"It's not bad, it's not bad, why not save it if you can save it? And we divide the guards into categories, the first rank, the second rank and the third rank, and then they wear uniform brocade military uniforms, and they all carry knives specially made by people. If you say anything else, go to that station to save face, those princes who can refuse to have hundreds of guards standing in their birthday banquet courtyard to guard him, or the guards authorized by His Majesty the emperor rent no more than the establishment."

"Speaking of second uncle, your birthday banquet is coming soon."

Zhu Zhanchang's series of continuous cannons made a big cake for Zhu Gaoji, and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but have a clearer understanding of the Division of Guards.

After chatting again, Zhu Zhanchang also said that the guards should be equipped with carriages. If anyone wants to rent them, it will be door-to-door service, accompanied by seven or eight guards, and the momentum must come up.

Unknowingly, we chatted into the evening, and the school was over.

"Boy, you are not bad, the guards can do it, hahaha, but you are not allowed to sue me in front of the emperor in the future."

"Nephew dare not."

"You kid is submissive on the surface, full of weird ideas, and you don't know if it's good water or bad water."

Zhu Zhanchang saluted and said respectfully, "Second Uncle Hui, it's all good water, but bad water can cause diarrhea."

Zhu Gaojiu smiled brightly, but said in a low voice, "Boy, last time I told you that the vassal king's salary was not enough. I am the vassal king, but your kid may not have to be the vassal king in the future."
