On May 23rd of the 24th year of Tai'an, the governor's Yamen issued an order to lift martial law in Yuanyang City.
After staying at home for five consecutive days, the common people can no longer hold it in any longer.
It's not that they don't want to rest, but they simply can't afford it. After all, the whole family has to eat.
But today when people went out, they found that there was nothing to do in the city, and all the previous businesses had closed down.
It's okay to close down, but even with their small savings, they can't buy food from major grain stores because these shops are also closed.
Just when the residents in the city feel desperate and have no other choice... recruitment from major households in the city has begun.
"The Wu Mansion recruits servants and selects the best..."
"The Chen Mansion recruits servants, and all those who are capable will be accepted..."
…
These top wealthy families in the city posted recruitment lists almost at the same time, giving the people a little hope.
When the people went to various governments to apply for jobs, the governor's yamen and the chief envoy's yamen also released the results, and they actually wanted to recruit officers.
Compared with the servants of each government, the servants of the government were naturally more attractive, so the two yamen were immediately blocked.
There was a complete commotion in Yuanyang City, and all the palaces were blocked, but the recruitment in Prince Yong's Palace quietly started.
The palace then sent craftsmen deep into Nancheng, where there was a special gathering area for craftsmen. The palace had previously recruited masons here.
Craftsmen with a certain skill are extremely valuable talents in the last days, and they are also the most indispensable.
The conditions offered by the palace are also very generous. As long as the craftsmen are selected, they can bring two family members into the palace.
The palace's recruitment was in full swing. In addition to summoning these craftsmen, it also "recruited" many maids according to Zhao Yanxun's wishes.
In this era, the daughter's family is a so-called loser. When the palace is willing to exchange food for it, none of the parents are willing.
The main reason for recruiting these women into the palace is to solve the single problem in the palace. If the lack of women goes on for a long time, something will definitely happen.
Whether it was for the sake of the harmony of the palace or the continuation of mankind, Zhao Yanxun felt that he had to do these things.
At the north entrance of Prince Yong's Mansion, craftsmen who had the opportunity to enter the Prince's Mansion lined up in a long queue with their families and belongings under the supervision of the guards.
As long as they are inspected by the imperial doctors and confirm that there are no wounds on the body, they can enter the palace.
The craftsmen were happy, while the old fathers who sent their daughters to the palace listened to their daughters crying while eagerly waiting for the food and money from the palace.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun stood on the watchtower of the city wall, taking in an unobstructed view of the scene below. Next to him was Chief Shi Zhou Chengping.
Everything seemed very peaceful, the craftsmen entered the palace one after another, and a relatively stable life awaited them.
And in the next moment, this stability was directly broken.
"I have a certain skill, can I join the palace?"
This voice came from the very back, and you could tell it was shouted with all your strength.
Upstairs, Zhao Yanxun looked around. After being strengthened by the system, his eyesight was extremely good and he could clearly see that the man was a man in his thirties.
But he saw that this man had an unkempt beard, and the robe on his body meant that this person was of high status, but his robe was full of filth.
After the man shouted, he pushed aside the people in line in front of him and squeezed towards the door.
Behind him, there were two young men, carrying boxes that looked very heavy.
The three of them rushed forward, disrupting the order of the queue to enter the palace, and aroused hostility and abuse from everyone.
But the three of them seemed unaware, especially the middle-aged man at the head, who continued to push and shove others as if no one was watching.
"presumptuous……"
There were guards in the palace to maintain order, and Zhao Yanxun also emphasized the rules, so the three of them were stopped by the guards who came before they could break through the gate.
"we are……"
Before these three people could say anything, they were immediately kicked to the ground by the guards, followed by a series of punches and kicks.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting..."
After the people on the ground shouted several times, a small flag slowly walked over with a serious and cold expression.
"Pick these three bastards up, break their legs and throw them out!" the flag officer ordered.
If this person is not severely punished, the people who enter the mansion today will lose their respect.
"I'm a doctor, I'm a doctor... I'm here to join the palace!" the middle-aged man said, enduring the pain in his body.
The palace had hired doctors before, so it was not so urgent now because there were not enough medicinal materials and the doctors would be useless.
In fact, the imperial physicians and officials in the palace are now at a saturated state.
"Hmph, do you think that just because you are a doctor, you can ignore the rules of the palace?" Xiao Qiguan sneered.
In fact, Zhang Renli really had such an idea, and he was confident enough in his abilities.
Precisely because he thought he was very capable, Zhang Renli looked down on the powerful people of Yuanyang, so he came to Prince Yong's Mansion to seek a position.
As a doctor, Zhang Renli is one of the few surgeons to be precise. He understands the dangers of zombies better than most people of this era.
So he knew very well that he had to rely on a big tree to survive, and Prince Yong's Mansion was that big tree.
But at this moment, after being beaten by the palace guards, Zhang Renli's pride was knocked away.
"I have superb medical skills, but I was a bit abrupt just now. It was my fault... Please be magnanimous, sir!" After saying this, Zhang Renli also apologized to everyone in front of him.
"The rules of the palace, you can just say a few polite words and you can get away with it!" The guard Xiaoqiguan sneered again.
"I am a doctor, I am proficient in trauma..." Zhang Renli yelled.
He was not yelling blindly, but to highlight his role so that the officials sitting under the shed not far away could hear him.
Even the guard Xiaoqiguan glanced back at this moment, but saw that the right commander Shi Guan and Tai were not looking here at all.
"Take it down and hit me!" the guard Xiaoqiguan scolded.
The guards next to them immediately stepped forward and continued to beat the three people, while the craftsmen queuing up next to them looked on blankly.
They were all smiling just now, but now none of them could laugh. This was an impressive lesson for them, making them realize that they must never break the rules of the palace.
Just when Zhang Renli and the other three were about to be beaten, a loud shout came from the side: "Wait a minute!"
Officer Xiaoqi, the bodyguard, turned around. After seeing the person clearly, he immediately put on a smile and asked, "Mr. Lin Qi, what are you..."
"The prince wants to see him!" Lin Dagui said coldly.
Good guy, not only the guard Xiaoqiguan was surprised, but everyone around him was shocked.
The high and mighty prince actually met such a slovenly person. Why should he?
At this moment, Zhou Chengping was also puzzled. There were so many doctors in the palace, so it seemed that there was no need to treat this person with such courtesy.
Zhang Renli's rampage just now made Zhou Chengping extremely unhappy.
"This man said he is proficient in trauma, but we still lack doctors in this field!" Zhao Yanxun said solemnly.
After a while, Zhang Renli was brought to Zhao Yanxun.
"See you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Renli bowed with great respect. At this time, he was extremely respectful.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was sitting on a chair, and he asked with a serious expression: "Tell me about your abilities. If you don't satisfy me, you will still be dragged down and have your legs broken!"
After Zhao Yanxun finished speaking, Zhang Renli didn't dare to neglect at all, and immediately answered everything he knew.
Zhang Renli is proficient in surgery, has a deep understanding of human texture, and has performed simple "surgeries" on many people. He is indeed a unique talent.
