Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 9

[Chapter 9 Loyalty]

“Your Highness is joking, the last general, He Dehe, will be the general of Yan Palace.” Chang Wei’s heartbeat accelerated rapidly.

Zhao Xu thought in his heart that you are still pretending, so he said casually: “In that case, I will choose someone else.”

“I think I can give it a try.” Chang Wei hurriedly said, smiling embarrassingly.

“Well, that’s right. A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a qualified soldier.” Zhao Xu looked like a sage with his hands behind his back.

For him, there is silver now.

The first thing is naturally to build the army, and political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. This principle has not changed through the ages.

Otherwise, the money he earned would end up making wedding dresses for others.

And with the pro-army, the next step is to control Yan County and kill the powerful clan who disobeyed him.

“A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier.” Chang Wei recited this sentence, which reminded him of his original volunteering in the army.

In the past, he also devoted himself to serving the imperial court.

But the blood has cooled down amid the intrigues in the army, and now Zhao Xu’s words, like thunder, ignited the dead volcano in his heart.

“Your Highness is so kind, the general will swear to follow His Highness to the death.”

Chang Wei knelt on one knee and lowered his head.

A scholar dies for his confidant.

Since he joined the army, no one appreciated his bravery, no one cared about his enthusiasm.

But now, King Yan, who he just forced him to pay, not only ignored the fault, but handed over his own army to him.

What a trust in him.

For this trust, he can only repay it with loyalty and life for the rest of his life.

The hotness in Chang Wei’s eyes was seen by Zhao Xu.

He knew that for a straight and tough guy like Chang Wei, only a heart-for-heart can make him surrender.

As it turned out, he was right.

Reaching out to help Chang Wei, he said with a smile: “Nowadays, Yan County is full of wealthy families, and there are Beidi plunderers. Yan County is like a dangerous egg. From now on, I hope you will work with me to reshape Yan County’s bright and bright world!”

“Yes, Your Highness!” Chang Wei responded loudly, resolute as a stone.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, “It’s not too late. From now on, you will start recruiting your own army. Report the money you need directly to me, and I will let Qin accountant pay you.”

“Let’s go at the end. “Chang Wei’s heart is itching like a cat’s scratching, and he can’t wait to lead 20,000 soldiers to fight the enemy immediately.

Clenching his fists heavily, he turned and left, telling the other guards the news.

Immediately, dozens of eager eyes cast on Zhao Xu.

Since the palace paid back the salary and consolation money last night, they changed their views on Zhao Xu.

Now that Zhao Xu is planning to build a pro-army, it must be based on their hundred bodyguards.

This means that all of them can be promoted and paid.

Serving the Lord, who doesn’t want to make a fortune, how can they be unhappy.

But most importantly, they saw hope.

After King Yan recovered, the Palace of King Yan was no longer a pool of stagnant water, but full of vitality.

“What are these bastards so silly about?” Liu Fu just came back, with three servants by his side.

Seeing that the guards looked like they had been spayed with chicken blood, they looked confused.

“This king asked Chang Wei to recruit his own army and make him a general.” Zhao Xu laughed.

“General?” Liu Fusan’s heart was twitching, “His Royal Highness, although the younger one is a family member, he was a scholar before. He studied hard for eighteen years, and he hoped that he would be ashamed of His Highness.”

“Have you ever read a book? “Zhao Xu was a little surprised.

Right now, what he lacks the most is available people.

From the current point of view, Changwei is still available in the military.

But Zhang Han was taken down, and Wang Fu of the palace was vacant.

For a normal palace, the generals who are close to the army and the prince of the palace are the right-hand men.

Now that you have a left arm, you should also have a right arm.

Since Liu Fu has studied, it’s a pity to let him just run errands.

And when Zhang Han was eliminated, he was the first to pledge allegiance, so give him this opportunity.

“Your Highness can send someone to investigate, the young ones definitely dare not lie to His Highness.” Liu Fu said.

“Well, then you will take on the position of Wang Fu in the palace. If you do well, I will allow you to be Wang Fu.” Zhao Xu thought.

When Liu Fu heard the words, there was a crying sound in his excited words, “Your Highness, the little one will definitely live up to His Highness’s expectations, woohoo…”

Zhao Xu understood Liu Fu’s mood at this time.

For him, this is a turning point in his life.

Dasong Gaozu Zhao Yi established the Dasong with the power of the eight major clans, so at the beginning of the founding of the country, he claimed to share the world with the eight major clans.

In order to ensure the interests of the eight major families in the court, Dasong did not have an imperial examination, but adopted a referral system.

In this way, the officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee basically come from the eight major clans, while the officials of the local counties and counties are controlled by the local powerful clans.

And this makes it almost impossible for scholars like Zhang Han who come from poor families to succeed.

The only way to become an official is to serve as a servant of a wealthy family.

But even so, the wealthy family does not necessarily need it, after all, the wealthy family also pays attention to family status.

It is conceivable how excited Liu Fu was when he took the post of Wang Fu.

“Get up, others thought this king did something to you.” Zhao Xu laughed.

Chang Wei and the guards were already watching the fun.

Liu Fu wiped away his tears, “Your Highness, it’s really hard for a scholar from a poor family to learn a lot of economics, but in the end he lost to those children of a wealthy family who don’t know a lot of characters…”

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized something, knowing that these words violated Da Song’s taboo, his face turned pale, “Your Highness, you are talking nonsense, please make atonement, Your Highness.

” The foundation of Daode.

To offend the election system is to offend the powerful family and the royal family.

“Don’t be nervous, what you said is not unreasonable.” Zhao Xu waved his hand, not paying attention.

He is a time traveler, and he has no deep-rooted concepts of dignity and inferiority.

And he is indeed full of slots for the backward system of Dasong.

After all, in the contemporary era, this system was terminated in the Tang Dynasty and replaced by the imperial examination.

“Don’t be nervous? Makes sense?” Liu Fu was dumbfounded.

If someone from the rich family heard this, he would have to peel off his skin if he didn’t die.

But Zhao Xu just said such a fluffy sentence, and said it made sense.

“The world chooses officials, those who should be able to live in them.” Zhao Xu smiled.

It is unrealistic for him to count on the wealthy family, because his mother’s family is from a poor family, so he was bullied by those princes whose uncles were from powerful families since he was a child.

This chain of contempt is engraved in the bones of every wealthy child in Dasong.

Therefore, he is destined not to piss in the same pot as these rich people.

Only by uniting poor children like Liu Fu and the people of Yan County can we create our own real team.

“Your Highness…” Liu Fu was taken to heart by Zhao Xu.

What he hates is the nomination system, and what is being nominated in Dasong now is not the meritorious, but the family status.

“Do you want to turn Yan County into a place where children from poor families can rely on their talents to become officials?” Zhao Xu’s eyes sparkled.

“Think!”

Looking at Zhao Xu, Liu Fu hesitated, and decided to take a gamble just like when he saved King Yan.

If Zhao Xu is a temptation, he will die without a place to bury him.

If Zhao Xu is sincere, he has found the Ming Lord.

“Okay, then from now on, you will take up the post.” Zhao Xu patted Liu Fu on the shoulder.

“Thank you, Your Highness.” Liu Fu knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Zhao Xu hurriedly helped him up, “This king gave you the first order, immediately recruit the people to farm in our palace.”

“It’s just that the common people have been surrounded by the rich to cultivate their fields, how can anyone farm for our palace ?” ?” Liu Fu sighed with a bitter face.

Zhao Xu showed a meaningful smile, “There will be, and this is the first step for this king to conquer the hearts of the people.”

Liu Fu was stunned when he heard this, wondering how King Yan could compete with the wealthy people for the people.
