Chapter 267 - Recruitment

On the morning of the second day, when the sky had just started to brighten, Yu Yunwen brought over a dozen youths into Zhao Chen's room.

These young men were all around twenty years old, and the oldest was no older than thirty.

"We pay our respects to Your Majesty!" At this moment, all of the youths kneeled down.

"Hurry up and rise." Zhao Chen laughed and said.

"Your Majesty, they are the elites that I have selected from the 1.2 million Production and Construction Corps s. They used to know the characters Wen Da, and after entering the Production and Construction Corps, they were all young leaders. Over these years, they had been dealing with government affairs in various parts of the Guan Shan, and they also had some experience in governance. Besides, they were men of high moral character and were very popular among the young. They were exceptionally diligent in their work, and all sorts of work led the way. It took me two months to pick them out and deliver them to His Majesty. Your Majesty, this is their clan scroll. " Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen nodded his head, and immediately received the sect scroll, which was written with the various information of the youths. including their hometown, origin, and all of their performances in Production and Construction Corps all these years, as well as all of the recommendations they had written to the Military Intelligence Department.

Very quickly, Zhao Chen noticed the names of the two people 'Hu Quan' and 'Wang Shipeng', and his heart immediately skipped a beat.

These two were famous ministers of the Southern Song, and they did not expect to be in the Production and Construction Corps.

His heart was filled with astonishment as he carefully examined the information on these two people. These two were from Jiangnan, and they actually went from Jiangnan to Guan Shan, entering the Production and Construction Corps. Zhao Chen looked down again. Other than these two, there were actually three more people who had come from the south.

"Are there any young people from Jiangnan in our Production and Construction Corps?" Zhao Chen said in surprise.

"Yes!" Over ten thousand people have come from Jiangnan! " Yu Yunwen said.

"Oh? It was strange, since thousands of miles from Jiangnan, the road was very hard. Which one of you is called Hu Quan? Tell me, why did you come all the way to Guan Shan? " Zhao Chen smiled.

At this moment, a twenty-two year old youth stood out from the crowd. He was a bit delicate and pretty, but his appearance was extremely handsome. It was just that the farm work was a bit too dry, and his skin now had a healthy bronze color.

"Your Majesty, you are the legitimate son of the Supreme Emperor, the direct descendant of the Song Dynasty. And Emperor Kang was a traitor, brazenly usurping the throne, attacking together under the heavens. This humble subject is a citizen of the Song Dynasty, so I naturally should join His Majesty. Thus, I came to the Guan Shan from Jiangnan and entered it. " This Hu Quan, who should have been a famous minister in the Southern Song Dynasty's era, said.

Hu Quan was also one of the four subjects of the Southern Song Dynasty. Originally, in history, when Qin Gui and the others and the Jinguo were at peace, Hu Quan was furious and wrote the famous >, claiming that "justice and justice were at odds with the . He asked Song Gao for the sect members to chop off the heads of Qin Gui, Wang Lun, and Sun Xin. If not, he would rather die in the East Sea than live in a small court. Amongst the ten most famous historical figures in the past thousand years, Hu Quan was the one who was called the "Hardest on the neck" by the future generations of Jiangxi Province.

"So that's how it is!" Zhao Chen laughed, and nodded.

Who is Wang Shipeng? Zhao Chen said again.

Immediately, another youth stood up. This youth was actually only 17 or 18 years old, and his face looked somewhat unsightly. However, there was nothing green about his actions. As he stood there with a calm expression, he looked extraordinary.

This person was also one of the famous officials of the Southern Song Dynasty. As a teenager, he was well-known for his outstanding talent and talent. However, he had also offended Qin Gui, and was only the high school's top scholar until he was forty-six years old and Qin Gui had died. After entering the Imperial Court, he strongly advocated a resistance against the war and recommended Song Gao Zong to recruit old generals like Liu Qi. In the end, he was rejected by the Peace Faction and returned back to his hometown. He was also a well-known loyal minister in history.

Zhao Chen immediately asked, and this Wang Shipeng also started to answer, he actually came all the way from Jiang Nan to Guan Shan because Zhao Chen was' righteously justified '. In fact, many of the youths from Jiangnan did this because of Zhao Chen's identity, while the majority of them were scholars. Many scholars paid close attention to the word "loyal" in their hearts. This loyalty was to the legitimate emperor. Compared to Zhao Gou, Zhao Chen had a huge advantage in this area.

"I heard that you are all the elites of the Production and Construction Corps. I have also seen what you have done over the past two years, and it was pretty good. "However, we will still have to test you." Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen started to ask, including how to manage the place, his views on the overall situation of the world, and whether there were any beneficial suggestions.

Only after an entire morning had passed did Zhao Chen stop.

He was very satisfied with the outstanding youths of the Production and Construction Corps. Every single one of them was talented, and could be considered the elite of the elite.

"From today onwards, you will serve as military aircraft, Zhang Jing. Assist us in handling national affairs." Zhao Chen said.

"AHH!" The faces of the dozen or so youths all revealed expressions of extreme excitement.

Right now, the Military Intelligence Bureau was the highest authority in the country. Whether it was the Chinese Book Province or the Staff Council, both of them were under the leadership of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Right now, the only ministers present were Li Gang, Yue Fei, Li Ruoshui, Wang Shu, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen and a few others. For these people to be able to enter the Military Administration, although they were not the Military Secretary, the authority they held must be very high.

"Remember, you have to do things properly! Entering the military base means that you have to take on more responsibilities. You mustn't slack off! "Don't disappoint us!" Zhao Chen said.

"We understand!" The youths replied in unison.

"First, you should familiarize yourselves with the military base. After that, I have some important matters to attend to." Zhao Chen said.

"Yes sir!" The youths all agreed.

Zhao Chen waved his hand, and the youths finally left.

Only Zhao Chen and Yu Yunwen were left in the room. Yu Yunwen asked: Your Majesty, what do you want them to do?

Zhao Chen said: "We are prepared to leave the construction of the Guan Shan to them. The Guan Shan was currently all soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps, so it was easy to manage. If they can do a good job with Guan Shan, we can also leave the matters of Middle Han Area and Chuan Shu to them. "

Zhao Chen was prepared to hand over the matter of economic reform to these youths, but out of the three economic reform proposals that he had written back then, the business tax reform was extremely complicated and involved a lot of forces. He had already written a letter to Li Gang, asking him to settle the matters regarding the reform of the business tax.

"Your Majesty, don't these things have Chinese Book Province to do? If His Majesty were to entrust all these matters to this youth, would there be a conflict with the Chinese Book Province? In the future, would there be any conflicts between the military and the Chinese Book Province? How can these contradictions be reconciled? " Yu Yunwen pondered for a long time before he spoke.

"Right now, the powers of these young people and the officials of the Chinese Book Province have indeed overlapped. There might be a possibility of a conflict … However, although this world belonged to the people of this world, it belonged to the young people. The young people will grow up and run the country. In the future, the Chinese Book Province will also be left to the young man to manage. At that time, the Chinese Book Province will completely integrate into the Military Intelligence Department. " Zhao Chen said.

"But what now?" Yu Yunwen said.

"In the future, the Chinese Book Province will no longer handle the affairs of the Guan Shan, so the young people will handle the affairs of the Guan Shan on their own. "The youths will be directly commanded by the military headquarters." Zhao Chen said.

"Alright!" Yu Yunwen nodded.

"How is the mobilization of young people going in Sichuan?" Zhao Chen said again.

"Ever since the end of July, Advocacy Division, Chinese Book Province, and the staff officers' headquarters have been doing the mobilization work for the youths. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be around 1.5 million youths heading north to join the Production and Construction Corps or the regular army. The placement of these young people is being discussed these days. There were a few youths who wanted to be settled in the Guan Shan, some who wanted to be placed in the northwest Jing Road and other places like that, some who wanted to be placed in the Western Xia, and some who wanted to join the army. The proposal that the staff officer headquarters had just given was to enlarge the army by three hundred thousand. These three hundred thousand people all came from the original Guan Shan. If we join the army, we'll have better management and training. " Yu Yunwen said.

"Good!" In the afternoon, I will go to the headquarters to explain it to you in detail, along with Curved End and the others. " Zhao Chen said.

Yu Yunwen nodded.
