Chapter 378 The emperor is angry
Five days later, the official compound.
The number of people who came to sign up was scattered, and there were only twenty or thirty people in total.
With this small number of people, they are completely unable to handle such a huge battle organized by Marquis Lu Hun.
When seeing this, Lu Jia was also a little disappointed.
But he doesn't want to force people to travel. After all, each of them has a bright future, and there is no need to follow him on the road that has not been traveled before.
Standing on the steps, Lu Jia took a deep breath and said directly: "This envoy has a long journey, a dangerous future, and an unknown time. Although His Majesty has sent a thousand imperial guards to protect you, I still cannot guarantee that you will come back alive.
It’s not too late to quit now!”
"I...I quit!"
As soon as Lu Jia finished speaking, someone started to back off.
Then six or seven more people followed.
They were all frightened by the words "long journey, dangerous future and unknown time".
Their original intention was to see the benefits brought by their last mission.
Everyone on the Yuezhi's mission received more or less rewards, and the mission lasted only a few months.
These people basically have the idea of going away for a few months and getting promoted when they come back.
So after hearing what Lu Jia said, they immediately gave up the idea.
Staying in the country, sitting in the government office, and living a comfortable life, wouldn't it be nice for him in front of the government officials?
Only a fool would follow you on that road, where the journey is far away, the future is dangerous, the time is unknown, and you still don’t know whether you will live or die.
When Lu Jia saw someone quit, he couldn't say he was disappointed, let alone happy.
Everyone has his own choice, and he doesn't want anyone to not follow his heart.
As he said, the journey is long...
This mission must be accompanied by loneliness and danger, and fear by the unknown.
If the people within the mission are unstable, how should they lead the team after they leave?
Although he wanted to take a lot of people with him, if everyone had his thoughts, Lu Jia would even prefer to go on the mission alone without taking these people with him.
Then he added: "If you want to retreat while on a mission, you will be treated as a deserter. Have you thought about it?"
Lu Jia's words scared away three more people, and now there were only eleven people left.
Looking at these eleven people, Lu Jia couldn't help but sigh again, too few...
Later, Lu Jia entered a room.
After a while, Zhang Gu was called in.
"As far as I know, you have been married for only three years, your son is only two years old, and you have traveled abroad for two years during your internship. You only went back to stay for one night when passing by your hometown. The officials have a very good opinion of you. After the spring, you will
The future is higher than that of the same period, why can't you think about it?" Lu Jia looked at Zhang Gu and asked directly.
"It's not that I can't think about it, I just want to follow my heart. When I heard that Marquis Lu Hun was recruiting an envoy, I had a desire in my heart that told me that I must join the envoy. To be honest,
The official has already sent home the letter!" Zhang Gu said half-truthfully, he did not say that he did not like the imprisoned life.
Perhaps it was his traveling around the world in the past two years that gradually gave him this idea of freedom.
"Do you know that people will die on this mission?" Lu Jia continued to ask.
"I know, but some things always have to be done by someone!" Zhang Gu nodded firmly.
Lu Jia was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you know where this statement comes from?"
Zhang Gu shook his head. This was just a temporary thought in his mind. Is there anything else he could say?
In other words, inadvertently, which classic did I, Lao Zhang, get involved in?
"This is what His Majesty often said. He called us the forerunners..." In fact, Lu Jia was already very satisfied with Zhang Gu. His eyes were firm and his ambitions were clear. Such a person is very suitable for the mission.
Of course, the most important thing is Zhang Gu’s resume during the two years of internship.
I visited 13 counties in two years, and my work accuracy rate was over 95%.
what does that mean?
No one knows this better than Lu Jia!
"I ask you again, are you not afraid of life or death on this mission?" Lu Jia asked again.
"I am not afraid of life or death!" Zhang Gu replied directly.
"Shan! You are now a member of the mission!" Lu Jia looked at Zhang Gu with a smile.
The reason why he repeatedly mentioned life and death was because he was worried that problems might arise during his mission.
No matter how many questions I ask now, problems will still arise when the time comes.
But this can more or less test a person's endurance and perseverance.
Lu Jia hoped to leave those uncertain factors in Luoyang and not take them with him on the road.
In short, this task is time-tight and heavy, so there is no room for delay.
"You can go home now. If you hurry on the road, you may be able to stay at home for ten days and a half. If the weather is not good, you may be able to stay at home until next spring. It may not be until mid-December at the latest.
, you have to go to Chencang to wait for the delegation, and you have to make good time!" Lu Jia said.
"No!" Zhang Gu nodded excitedly.
Success, finally success...
I thought that if I chose to go on a mission, I would never see my wife and children again, but I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to go home again.
Chencang is less than 300 miles north of Chenggu County. If you walk there, it will take about four or five days.
Of course, Zhang Gu also guessed that the purpose of this mission was to the west. Otherwise, why would the mission pass by Chencang?
But none of this mattered. What he cared about most was that he was already a member of the mission.
After confirming, Zhang Gu went directly to the next door to get a certificate.
Without this certificate, it will be difficult for him to return home, and he will be detained directly at checkpoints along the way.
Likewise, without this certificate, he would not be able to stay at the inn.
Compared with cities, inns are more convenient.
Twenty-mile Yiyi, Zhang Gu and other interns have long been accustomed to staying overnight at the inn. Not only is it convenient, but they don't have to worry about walking to a place with no village or shop.
If there were no inns in the past, we would basically stop moving forward after noon, around three or four o'clock in the afternoon. We would try to find a place to stay at the right time, otherwise we would have to sleep in the wilderness at night.
But these days, the wilderness is not safe.
…
Meeting Hall.
Zhang Buyi told Wang Buyi about the recruitment of the mission.
Wang Buxu gave full power to Lu Jia to recruit members of the mission.
Only the person he chooses will feel more at ease and use it more smoothly.
Wang Buxian knew the composition and responsibilities of the personnel, and Lu Jia provided a detailed list of responsibilities.
According to Lu Jia's plan, the mission would need more than 120 people.
But now, counting those members who were willing to continue to accompany the envoy on the last mission, plus those recruited today, there are only more than 30 and less than 40 people.
According to this recruitment rate, the mission would probably have to wait ten days and a half if it wanted to go on a mission.
At that time, the weather would get colder and colder, and the mission would have to stop to rest before they could go far.
If they cannot rest in Tianshui or Jincheng and wait for the spring, then there is no need to rush to the mission now. Anyway, the journey is only a few days, so it is better for the mission to go home and reunite with their families for the winter.
"I heard that someone signed up, but they backed down when they heard there were difficulties?" Wang Buxian asked with a livid face.
"Yes, nine of them left, and there were a few others that Marquis Lu Hun thought were inappropriate, so he let them go," Zhang Buyi said.
The few people who were persuaded to leave by Lu Jia were basically a little older.
Wang Buxu knew this. Lu Jia tended to take care of young people in their twenties.
They still have a lot of time in the future. If the Han Dynasty needs to send envoys in the future, young people like them can take over.
Regarding this approach, Wang Buxu raised a hundred hands to express his approval.
However, for those who signed up but then backed down, Wang Buxian didn't have any good impressions of them.
"If you are afraid of difficulties and death, you don't have to sign up. If you sign up and then quit, where is the majesty of the imperial court? Go tell the officials that those who quit voluntarily will be assigned!" Wang Buxing said angrily.
What do these people think of the imperial court?
What do you think of merit again?
Do you regard missions as capital for your promotion?
No problem, Wang Buxian will not refuse, but you have to get things done first, okay?
Today, they can think of going to the mission to gain fame, but tomorrow they will dare to hang out elsewhere. If there are too many such people, won't the country be in chaos?
The more Wang Buxung thought about it, the more angry he became.
Again, don’t sign up if you’re afraid of difficulties, so that no one will have any objections to you.
For this group of people, Wang Buxian really wanted to beat them to the end.
But in the end, reason defeated him and he couldn't masturbate anymore, otherwise the rumors outside would be different.
Chapter completed!
