Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Everyone who was still confident at first was stunned when they saw Zhou Zheng making the request.

This is no conscription. This is clearly the rhythm of selecting the top martial artist.

Height and age are a big factor.

Unexpectedly, there are also physical examinations, intelligence tests, and long-distance running assessments!

In this case, the one who really wants to meet the standard is undoubtedly the one in a hundred or even the one in a thousand!

It requires sound limbs, which everyone can understand.

They can also understand if you ask for long-distance running.

But when it comes to the so-called intelligence test, no one can understand it at all.

It means fools don’t want it! ?

But why is the intelligence test mainly about word recognition and reading comprehension? ?

Even though Gong Tan and others were mentally prepared for these unbelievable demands, they were still quite confused at this time.

If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of them was Zhou Zheng, whom they absolutely trusted, if it had been anyone else, everyone would have rolled their eyes and called him an idiot.

"Boss, even if there is such a person, others won't join if they want to."

With a bitter smile, Zhou Ping said the most crucial step.

Not to mention Xiang County, even in Dazhou, it is not easy to find such people.

Three hundred years after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, although the country's national strength continued to grow and its economy was strong, it was still far from the point where everyone could have enough to eat. Therefore, it is not easy for ordinary people to grow to a height of 1.7 meters. !

Moreover, those between the ages of 18 and 25 are the main labor force in the family. Once they leave, they will definitely cause great losses to the family, and not many people are willing to do so.

Therefore, whether it is in the Great Zhou, Great Yuan or Great Xia Kingdom, there are many thirty, forty or even fifty-year-old soldiers serving as soldiers.

Zhou Zheng is so good, he wants to be the most elite as soon as he comes.

Taking a step back, even if they really gathered these 10,000 people, would they really dare to take them out and kill them at all costs? !

Once killed in battle, the loss of such a large number of young adults will definitely have a fatal impact on the target county.

Although Zhou Ping's words were a bit rough, everyone knew that what he said was not false!

The fact is, it is even more serious.

"Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!"

"Let me tell you, the military pay of these people will be tripled!"

"If they join the army, I, Zhou Zheng, can provide some job opportunities for their families."

"If you achieve great military exploits, you can reward their family with fertile land when you come back!"

"If you make great achievements, you can be promoted to general, or even be granted the title of king!"

"If you die in battle, you will receive five times the pension and preferential treatment for your family members!"

Zhou Zheng was not surprised by the difficulties raised by Gong Tan and others, but he still had no intention of retreating.

Then he closed his eyes slightly, spoke in a deep voice, and stated a series of conditions!

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, so when people looked at Zhou Zheng, their faces were filled with disbelief.

Of course they knew that if Zhou Zheng dared to recruit such a person, he would definitely provide some more attractive treatment, but they never expected that this kind of treatment would be so attractive!

Putting aside military pay and pensions, just providing employment opportunities for their family members breaks their perception.

The current salt refining and paper making have already been planned.

Once a factory is established, a large number of laborers will inevitably be needed to ensure salt production and paper production.

According to Zhou Zheng's idea, whether it is paper or salt production, it will eventually be sold to the public at a low price, so everyone in the factory will be paid a certain amount.

That's definitely an attraction.

Gu Jiang and others had even begun to secretly seek favors from Zhou Zheng and bring in some of their civilian relatives.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zheng would actually use the quota here to give it to the family members of these soldiers? !

This is crazy! ?

"Boss, if you act like this, I'm afraid it will chill everyone's hearts."

Zhou Ping frowned slightly. Others didn't say anything, but he wanted to stand up and speak out.

Zhou Ping is the eldest son, so he naturally has no worries about food and clothing. Gong Tan, Mu Yun, Su Xun'er and others are also of the same mind as Zhou Zheng and don't care about reward.

But Gu Jiang and others are different, and many officials in Xiang County are different.

They raise a family and have a lot of expenses.

Everyone is eagerly waiting for the factory to open, not just for the sake of dedication.

Human nature is what it is.

Although the others did not speak out what Zhou Ping said, their expressions already said too much.

Over the past year or so in Xiang County, Gu Jiang and others have risked their fortunes and lives. Now they still have the opportunity to make money, but they have to give it up! ?

Even if everyone doesn't say it openly, deep down in their hearts, I'm afraid they are very sad.

"Don't worry, I will never treat my own people badly."

"I will take care of their affairs."

With a wry smile, Zhou Zheng shook his head helplessly.

These people may not know that the factory he calls is not a small workshop.

According to Zhou Zheng's vision, the paper and salt factories would require thousands of people.

Later, Zhou Zheng also established some military factories, which required a large number of personnel.

Therefore, at that time, it is not a time to compete for positions, but a situation of insufficient manpower.

After hearing Zhou Zheng's affirmative response, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Not to mention Da Zhou, even in Da Yuan or Da Xia, there is a human relationship.

"Your Highness, although there is no precedent for granting land, it is not difficult to operate."

Mu Yun also spoke at this time.

"But for military merit, you will be awarded an official title..."

Mu Yun was about to speak but stopped.

Although the Zhou Dynasty ruled the country with benevolence, it had a strict hierarchical system.

If people want to get ahead, they have almost no chance.

The same is true for soldiers. Normal soldiers only get some military pay. Real military merits are taken away by aristocratic families.

This has become something subtle.

It has also been practiced in the Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years.

But Zhou Zheng immediately followed the order and broke this agreement! ?

Its influence is so great that it is very likely to cause turmoil in the world, and even cause opposition from all the aristocratic families!

The eyes of others flickered, and even Zhou Ping's eyes dimmed at this moment.

If Zhou Zheng really wanted to do this, it would be tantamount to going against nature, and the difficulty would be beyond imagination.

"Do you know why the iron hooves of the Great Xia Kingdom can trample my Great Zhou Dynasty at will?"

"Because they, the Great Xia Kingdom, respect warriors."

"Great Xia can do it, why can't I, Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Could it be possible that you really think that relying on the aristocratic families can protect the safety of Great Zhou?"

"Just because others don't do some things, doesn't mean you can't do them!"

"If the imperial court doesn't do it, then I will do it!"

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, his eyes were as bright as a torch, and he spoke in a deep voice!

If you want to temper the truly powerful elites, you need to make thorough reforms!

If the previous military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty were followed, who would really work for the imperial court! ?

"Can......"

Zhou Ping opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, Zhou Zheng interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"No but!"

"Reform always requires bloodshed!"

"If that's the case, then what if this blood comes from me?!"

"This world should have changed!"
