"Your Highness... the common people don't dare!"

oh?

When you just talked about dreams and asked for high-ranking officials, you were quite brave.

Zhang Junlin was almost frightened when he saw it. He looked at the tall horse and carriage galloping from the city and smiled lightly.

Knowing that this was a father coming to protect his son, he decided to let the drama end.

"Do you want me to take my life back?"

"Yes, yes..."

Everyone nodded like garlic, and they were so united that no one had a second thought.

After all, saving one's life is more important than becoming an official and making a fortune.

"Although state-owned legalists have family rules, there is also a saying that it is worth paying for one's faults with merit. The Jinling War has just passed, and there are still many things that require money, food, iron tools and other support."

"Especially in Chu County and the cities in Buzhou, there are even greater vacancies. This is your only chance to make up for your mistakes."

There is nothing implicit in Zhang Junlin's words.

Just say it clearly.

Donate money.

Donate food.

Donate minerals.

Manpower... Zhang Junlin glanced at the aspiring young people who stayed behind the crowd.

He is not lacking for the time being.

"I donate! I donate! I am willing to donate 20,000 catties of copper and iron!"

The recently retired Minister of the Ministry of War has made a good start.

Twenty thousand kilograms of copper and iron may not sound like much, but it is actually a lot.

After all, in ancient times, the production areas of copper, iron ore, etc. were all concentrated in the Northern Hebei Plain and the north, which is today's Northern Qi State.

No matter how much money the family of the recently retired Minister of War spent on buying twenty thousand kilograms of copper and iron, it is definitely of more strategic value than three hundred and thirty thousand gold at the moment.

"Let us congratulate the Minister of War on his successful retirement! He resigned from his official position!"

Zhang Junlin greeted the middle-aged and elderly people who crowded into the crowd with a smile.

How generous these people are.

How can I raise such a generous son?

"You traitor! Your father only asked you to be a seventh-rank official, but you actually want to be a third-rank official. Now you have ruined my ancestor's family business and almost made the whole family be buried with you. Let's see if I don't kill you, this traitor!"

I saw these old fritters trying to kill their stupid sons to settle their debts.

Zhang Junlin opened his arms in time and stopped in front of the Minister of War, who had just donated the mine.

"I also hope that after taking up the post of Minister of War, after this incident, he can go home and learn more about the art of war and how to deal with matters of the Ministry of War. Until one day, he can run for the post of Minister of War again. This gentleman must cherish his talent."

"His Highness has praised him. Even if he studies hard for ten years, he will never be the Minister of War in this life."

The middle-aged man, who smelled like copper, wanted to wave the barbed iron thorn stick in his hand.

Zhang Junlin glanced over, and the strong pressure immediately made the middle-aged man unsteady and unable to lift the iron thorn stick in his hand.

"This gentleman probably doesn't understand what I mean."

"I am not discussing with you, but telling you to cherish your talents. Although your son cannot be the Minister of the Ministry of War, there are always successful sons in the family. As long as they pass the school examination, I can promote them to be Jinling.

or officials from out-of-town counties.”

As soon as these words came out.

People who still wanted to imitate the middle-aged man and kill his son with a stick to gain peace for the family exchanged glances with each other and began to weigh the pros and cons.

Zhang Junlin specially arranged official positions according to the family background of these people.

The powerful families who could really shake up the imperial power of South Vietnam all followed the royal family to the north, so naturally they were not among this group.

As for the remaining small and powerful families... some of them were not eager to become high officials at all, while others couldn't make any waves even if their homes were confiscated.

"Gentlemen, your children have caused trouble and deserve a beating. However, I feel that if I let them spend money to teach them a lesson, they will definitely avoid detours when they enter the court in the future."

"Just imagine, the purpose of you letting them come is to seek an official position for the family. They are not suitable, but there are always suitable people in your family. Now I am the prince of the supervisory country, and I am willing to make an exception and let you be an official. But if

In the past few days, if you want to change your official position after the royal family comes back... I'm afraid it won't be your turn to be a ninth-grade official."

To deal with this group of old fools, understanding them rationally is the best way to deal with them.

The best strategy is to be aware of it and use it with your heart.

Even if you have money, grain, and minerals, you are still a "grassroots" person.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with spending a sum of money to make a good impression in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, and having His Highness the Crown Prince declare in public that he can become an official.

The old men who came in a hurry had already begun to think calmly. How much of His Highness the Crown Prince's words were true, and how much he wanted them to donate things.

"Your son made the mistake because he was not qualified for a high-ranking official position. If it were another talented son in the family, he might not be able to take on this important task!"

Zhang Junlin put a delicious and big meat pie into their wavering hearts.

Immediately many people had green eyes.

The sons who were almost beaten to death felt very familiar when they saw this scene.

This is exactly the same as the look on their faces when they first wanted to pursue their dreams and heard that His Highness the Crown Prince could be appointed as a high official!

But they dare not talk nonsense.

I'm afraid that if I say something wrong, my life will not be saved.

"Your Highness, can you take this seriously?"

"It's more real than the real gold in your warehouse."

Zhang Junlin announced loudly to everyone present.

"When I employ people, I must first have good character, then have sufficient talent, and if not, they must be loyal... As long as the above conditions are met, a letter of recommendation can be sent to Grand Master Dong."

"But there is one thing. Officials are not allowed to make money for their own benefit. They can only seek offices for others, just for recommendation. If anyone uses his official power without authorization to control the officials under him to wear a pair of trousers, I can only take all of you."

His legs were broken!"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s serious explanation.

Those old men who were still dubious finally confirmed that what they said was true.

As for making money and profit, they didn't think about it for now. Anyway, they would take advantage of the official vacancies and donate things to get a referral spot.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so wise and brave! Unparalleled in the world!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for sparing Quanzi's life! I am willing to pay 330,000 gold to make up for the needs of the national treasury!"

"I am also willing to donate 20,000 kilograms of iron and copper for my son... No! I will donate 30,000! I have a nephew who is a third-level top-grade warrior with an honest personality. I hope His Highness will be free to take the first- and second-level exams someday."

oh?

A third-level high-grade warrior?

Not bad.

"First he will be sent to the military camp to be a corps commander. It just so happened that a seventh-grade warrior recently came to the military camp to serve as the instructor. He will become a fourth-grade warrior in a few days. Once he has achieved military merit, he will definitely be promoted."

Zhang Junlin is so generous.

Subsequent donations of money, food, and materials began to roll in.

Poor in literature and rich in martial arts.

Civil servants do not dare to covet. Military attachés only consider the level of warriors and do not test talents. They are at least corps commanders... Although they are only responsible for five people, His Highness the Crown Prince's attitude is here. Entering the military camp can also increase your strength. Naturally, everyone is happy to contribute to the city defense.

.

Zhang Junlin did not expect such an unexpected surprise.

After happily promoting a group of nominal corps commanders, the elders hurriedly left.

"Your Highness, we will go back and bring the donated items to the Imperial Mansion."

"There is no need to send it to the Imperial Mansion. It can be sent directly to the treasury. Dong Shilang will be responsible for the registration and arrangements."

Dong Yijiang next to him knew that the treasury was about to be full just by listening to the reports of donations from this group of people.

Faced with such a temporary appointment, I was more active than before and immediately accepted it.

He also very thoughtfully asked his officers and soldiers to follow the gentlemen home, and then lead the way to the treasury.

Zhang Junlin saw Dong Yijiang's cautious look and knew that Dong Shilang was afraid that these powerful men would run away with their children.

but.

He doesn't worry about this at all.
To be continued...
