While Han Du was still accompanying his younger brother to pay homage to his parents, Zhu Di quietly did something.
Yang Qing and others followed Yu Qian to Xinming, but they had no place to go in Xinming. Originally, Zhu Zhanji wanted to place them in his residence, but Han Du firmly opposed it.
Han Du is not stupid, so he doesn't know what Zhu Zhanji is planning. Even if Yang Qing and others were in the Ming Dynasty, they were first-class talented and learned people. If Yang Qing and others were lost, what would happen to the Ming Dynasty?
It's all a big loss.
The reason why Han Du traveled across the ocean to Xinming was to bring Yang Qing and others back. How could he let them be deceived by Zhu Zhanji and stay in Xinming?
Han Du originally wanted to place Yang Qing and others in Han Shu's house, but now that Han Shu wants to pay homage to his parents, it is not appropriate to place them in his house.
Therefore, Han Du planned to ask Yu Qian to place Yang Qing and others in the inn first, and then move into the mansion after his younger brother paid homage to his parents.
But this was an opportunity that Zhu Zhanji found. He immediately stood up and said, "Master, since you are worried about letting all the gentlemen live in my house, and I'm afraid you won't be worried about letting them live in an inn, right?"
Han Du was silent for a moment, then raised his head and glanced at Zhu Zhanji. I have to say that this kid was very powerful, and he could see his concerns at a glance.
Letting Yang Qing and others stay in the inn was Han Du's last resort. This is not the Ming Dynasty, this is the Xinming. The safety of living in an inn is definitely not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty.
"It's better to let you gentlemen live in the Huitong Hall, so that my father-in-law doesn't have to worry about the safety of the gentlemen." Zhu Zhanji suggested with a smile.
Han Du thought about it and felt that the Huitong Pavilion with soldiers to guard it would be much safer than an inn, so he nodded in agreement with Zhu Zhanji's suggestion.
But Han Du never thought that it was precisely because of his negligence that Zhu Di found the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
After Yang Qing and others moved into the Huitong Hall, Zhu Di came to the Huitong Hall in person. Not only did he warmly visit everyone, but he also repeatedly promised that everyone would be settled well.
A few days later, Zhu Di hosted a banquet for Yang Qing and others. At the banquet, Zhu Di finally showed his fox tail.
"We in Xinming are thirsty for talents and are looking for talented people. All of you are talented people who are rare in the world. If you are willing to stay in Xinming, I will definitely treat you as a national scholar."
Yang Qing and others looked at each other. In fact, the reason why they went to sea with Yu Qian was just to see what the world was like. As for staying in Xinming, they had not thought about it.
As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Yang Qing exchanged glances with everyone, then bowed to Zhu Di and said apologetically, "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty, but I'll wait."
Before Yang Qing could finish speaking, Zhu Di waved his hand to interrupt him, and said with a smile, "Please listen to my conditions first. If you don't want to stay in Xinming, I will never make it difficult, and Xinming will be here at any time."
You are welcome to come.”
Seeing that Zhu Di had said this, Yang Qing, who was about to stand up just now, sat back down again, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Zhu Di glanced at everyone's faces one by one, smiled slightly and said, "If you are willing to stay in Xinming and serve me, I can immediately give you the title of earl. If you make new contributions in the future, I will also generously reward you. Marquis,
The Duke may not be unavailable!"
Directly canonize him as an earl?
Everyone is smart, look
When Zhu Di greeted them, he naturally guessed that he wanted to keep them.
Although everyone knew that Zhu Di would definitely offer some benefits to tempt them to stay, no one would have thought that Zhu Di would be so generous.
What is the concept of an earl? According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, even if they serve as officials, they can only be granted the title of earl unless they have made a contribution to saving the dragon.
Moreover, this is only possible.
What's more, Zhu Di also promised them that as long as they make meritorious services in the future, they can continue to be conferred marquis or even duke?
Before everyone could recover, Zhu Di continued to throw down a huge boulder.
"And unlike the virtual seals of the Ming Dynasty, the new Ming Dynasty all have real seals."
Real seal!
Such a niche word that no one has heard in how many years?
"May I ask your Majesty, what kind of seal are you referring to?" Not to mention other people, even Yang Qing was shocked by Zhu Di's generosity.
Zhu Di stroked his beard and smiled, explaining, "My Xinming nobility all have fiefdoms. Xinming may not necessarily have other things, but there is as much land as you need."
Yang Qing and others looked at Zhu Di in shock. They never thought that Zhu Di would actually reward them with fiefdoms. You must know that even the Ming Dynasty nobles are just empty titles strictly speaking.
The nobles of the Ming Dynasty had salaries and salaries, and even guards, but none of them had actual land.
The title granted to the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty was even more illusory. There were no guards and only a small salary. But even so, all civil servants flocked to it.
"Of course it has a title." Zhu Di smiled lightly and said nonchalantly. Xinming lacked everything, but it didn't lack land.
With a seal! Just three words made everyone tremble.
If being enfeoffed as a wolf is the romance of military generals, then being promoted to a higher rank is the pursuit of civil servants. There is no other way, it is too difficult to get a title in the Ming Dynasty.
The saying that non-military merit cannot lead to nobility almost cut off the path to nobility for all civil servants.
Before Yang Qing could speak, someone behind him stood up and bowed to Zhu Di, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward. I am willing to stay in Xinming to do my best."
"Thank you, Your Majesty"
"Long live the Emperor"
In an instant, even Yang Qing bowed to Zhu Di.
When Zhu Di saw that he had conquered everyone, he laughed happily, "You don't have to rush to agree. It's not too late to do it after you go back and think about it carefully. Also, with the fiefdom, you can also call your clan members over."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." After a gentleman bowed to Zhu Di, he said, "But no, I have already thought about it and decided to stay in Xinming!"
Yang Qing thought for a moment and then bowed to Zhu Di, expressing his willingness to stay in Xinming.
As he said before, if he were in the Ming Dynasty, he might not be able to get a count after a lifetime of hard work. But now, as long as he nods, the title of count is easily available, who can not be tempted?
Although the territory of Xin Ming is not as vast as that of the Ming Dynasty, the population is not as large as that of the Ming Dynasty, and even the capital is not as prosperous as the Ming Dynasty, but it is precisely because of this that there are many opportunities for promotion and promotion.
Seeing that everyone agreed to stay and no one objected, Zhu Di nodded with great satisfaction.
