Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 957: Lan Yu Begins Military Construction

Lan Xiaoer stopped talking.

In other words, some things no longer need to be said explicitly at this time.

All of this has been laid out in the open.

When there was a possibility of having his own blood descendants, how could Lan Yu care about those adopted sons he simply adopted?

You know, Lan Yu had a lot of adopted sons.

But in reality, there were only two or three people who kowtowed to Lan Yu and acknowledged his relationship with him.

These two or three are Lan Yu’s true adopted sons.

As for the others, most of them were just joining in the fun during the celebration or drinking, or making a few random noises under the influence of alcohol, and then Lan Yu, half drunk and half awake, agreed.

But there is something very interesting here.

The adopted son who was truly brought home by Lan Yu to formally meet and be accepted would retain the same surname as before.

But on the contrary, those so-called "adopted sons" who came to him for free all changed their surnames to "Lan".

This makes it seem as if the talents behind are genuine.

But in fact, from beginning to end, the only people Lan Yu cared about were his three real adopted sons.

These people are his confidants and the ones he trusts.

Thinking of this, Lan Yu's heart moved, and he suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, Lord Hu, according to what you said before, I can still bring two or three people here to start over, right?"

"Yes, that's right! We said that!"

As soon as Lan Yu opened his mouth, Zhu Yuanzhang knew what he was planning.

But he didn't change his tune.

Because this policy loophole was left for Lan Yu.

You can't really sweep away all the adopted sons you've been with for so many years, right?

Those who try to cling to wealth and status should be killed, and it is what they deserve.

But the three adopted sons who actually became Lan Yu's disciples were much more obedient.

Although they cannot be said to be innocent, a look at the information shows that these guys are actually cut from the same mold as Lan Yu.

They are equally arrogant and unruly, but they will not be greedy and attack ordinary people. They are more likely to show their teeth to other powerful people.

To put it bluntly, it’s all about saving face!

As for the others, they are the ones who really want to skin and pull out the tendons of the people.

Therefore, neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Hu Dalaiyuan ever intended to spare the lives of those people.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's answer, Lan Yu knew that the situation could not be changed.

He let out a long breath, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in a daze, then turned his head to look at Master Hu on the side, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, lifted up his clothes, knelt on one knee and said.

"Your servant Lan Yu pays respect to the vassal king and the prime minister. From now on, I am willing to devote myself to the Chinese nation, lead the horse and throw the stirrups, and charge into the battle. I will not hide my words!"

Got it!

This is a smart guy. Not only has he figured out the power structure of the king and the prime minister here, he also knows the name of the country clearly.

You should know that the name of the Huaxia Kingdom has not been officially publicized to the outside world because the city and country have not been officially established yet.

Those who know are all currently from China.

The fact that all these things were figured out proved that Lan Yu had put in a lot of effort before he came.

Master Hu smiled and helped Lan Yu up.

"Okay, from now on, this is our brother."

"Don't worry, if you work hard for us in the future, we will ensure that you have many descendants!"

"That's settled!"

Lan Yu was not a civil servant of great integrity. To him, face and no dignity were all bullshit.

In his opinion, since he had already become someone's disciple, it was natural that they were in the same group.

Now, what Mr. Hu said is no longer a joke, but a promise.

Mr. Hu was not joking, but waved towards the outside.

"Hu Yi, take Lan Yu to Lao Wang and let Lao Wang check Lan Yu thoroughly."

"See if his lack of offspring is due to poor health or some other problem."

"Even if your body is in poor health, how bad is it and how to nourish it? Go there and ask us clearly!"

"Yes, sir!"

He ignored the people shouting that this was a private matter and that he would not allow outsiders to criticize him, and Hu Yi bowed and accepted the order obediently.

Are you kidding? Lan Yu, what does it matter how loudly you shout?

He eats the Hu family's food, not your Lan family's.

Can you punish him without his master's permission?

Moreover, as the steward of the Hu family, if he doesn't listen to Master Hu, does he have to listen to Lan Xiaoer?

It is obvious that Lan Xiaoer is the chief guard who works for his own master. In terms of status, he is not as good as the butler!

Why would he have the right to talk too much?

Therefore, Hu Yi didn't care how Lan Yu grinned. After receiving the order, he pulled Lan Yu out and then strode straight to the courtyard of Doctor Wang.

Looking at the two people leaving, Master Hu turned his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

"Chongba, when Lan Yu's body has recovered, I will let him start recruiting and training soldiers!"

"Isn't that taboo?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately looked speechless.

"You have already arranged the staff and the tasks. Isn't it a bit insincere to ask me about it afterwards?"

"Tell me first, how many people do you plan to recruit?"

Mr. Hu laughed and said, "It won't be too much!"

"Real soldiers, I plan to recruit 500!"

"As for the others, they all followed Mao Xiang and his men to maintain order and followed Li Fulu to collect taxes."

"The people under Mao Xiang's and Li Fulu's control are responsible to you as the prime minister."

"And when Lan Yu has 500 men in his hands in the future, he will really have to rely on me for support."

"Don't worry, I can't possibly raise several thousand troops for you right here in front of Yingtian City."

"Although we know in our hearts that we won't rebel, there's no need to make it so sensitive!"

After hearing what Master Hu said, Zhu Yuanzhang also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Master Hu would get carried away and directly recruit a large army and start training in Hujiazhuang.

For some things, it’s not a question of whether he believes it or not, but that you have violated a taboo.

Why gamble on human nature with certain things?

Five hundred, this number is pretty good!

"Is five hundred enough?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Master Hu with some suspicion. He seemed to have good intentions, but in fact he was secretly trying to find out whether Master Hu would recruit another group of people in private.

Mr. Hu naturally knew Zhu Yuanzhang's plan, so he just rolled his eyes.

"Okay, don't ask any more, just five hundred!"

"I didn't recruit these five hundred people as casual soldiers!"

"They will undergo at least a year of training, after which they will become my officer candidates."

"In the future, it will be spread among the army."

"With these 500 people, if needed in a year, we can quickly form a team of 10,000 people."

"This is enough!"
