"But we know that this is the future of the Ming Dynasty! How can those scoundrels in the outside world understand your Majesty's thoughts?"
"But hearing such words makes me feel very uncomfortable. As the saying goes, if the master insults the minister, he will die. Your Majesty is being slandered without any basis. How can I sit idly by and watch?"
"Although the officials of the Hundred Workshops cannot argue with those people, for fear of damaging His Majesty's reputation, we can do what we can and hope to develop something as soon as possible for those people to see."
"Look, we are not joking. Look at how far-sighted Your Majesty is. Let those people understand Your Majesty's broad mind and let them know that Your Majesty is wholeheartedly for the Ming Dynasty!"
"We have been researching this day and night. Your Majesty, we are fully aware of your concern, but we are willing to die for you!"
After saying this, Bi Maokang knelt on the ground again and said, "I have disobeyed Your Majesty's order. I am guilty! Your Majesty wants to punish me, and I have no complaints. However, this matter has nothing to do with Lord Xu. I hope Your Majesty will understand."
After Bi Maokang knelt, the others standing behind him also knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, we are willing to die for you. Please understand your majesty!"
Looking at the people kneeling down, Zhu Youxiao's eyes turned red and his body trembled.
After seeing this scene, Xu Guangqi on the side walked directly to Zhu Youxiao and wanted to lift up his clothes and kneel down, but was stopped by Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao said with some guilt: "I have wronged you, my dear."
Xu Guangqi quickly said, "I am terrified!"
After helping Xu Guangqi to the side, Zhu Youxiao took a step forward and went straight to Bi Maokang, stretched out his hand to help him up. He said, "You all get up."
After everyone stood up, Zhu Youxiao said, "I know your sincere feelings. But you don't know my heart."
"In my opinion, what Bi Aiqing said makes sense. This is the future of Ming Dynasty. But why is this the future of Ming Dynasty? Because you are here."
"I assign you imperial physicians and arrange for your food and lodging because what you do is very important to the Ming Dynasty."
"For me, I don't care how fast or slow the research is; I don't care about the disturbances from the outside world. What I care about is you, you people! You are more important than any research!"
"Not only must you research something for me, but you must also stay healthy. I know all of you have abandoned your wives and children in the Hundred Crafts Academy and have difficulty returning home."
"I hope that one day you will return with honor, carrying the rewards and official positions I bestow upon you, and return in glory. Tell those who look down on you, tell your wives and children, that you are working for me and for the Ming Dynasty! You deserve it, you are meritorious officials of the Ming Dynasty!"
"I don't want any of you to tire yourself out here. I don't want any of you to die here. I don't want your families to worry about you, only to end up with your corpse!"
"This is my heart. I want to create a prosperous and flourishing world. I hope that the Ming Dynasty can repeat the glory of Taizu!"
"I hope that by that time, you will all still be here. You will be able to walk out of here with your heads held high, carrying the honor I bestow upon you, and enjoy the rewards I bestow upon you."
As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao's eyes became even redder.
The people listening below were even more excited; some even shed tears and were shaking with excitement.
The saying goes, "One will die for one's friend." This is what they feel at this moment.
Give you an official position, give you rewards, and at the same time give you respect and enough honor.
Such a Majesty is worth giving everything for.
Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Zhu Youxiao felt very satisfied.
Of course, I didn't say these words in vain, nor was it simply to win people's hearts, because I can empathize with them.
In his previous life, Zhu Youxiao understood this very well.
Having worked as an employee and a leader myself, I understand very well what an individual needs.
A good position, a high enough salary, and a broad enough career path are all external benefits.
In addition, the company's appreciation, the leadership's attention, and the encouragement of superiors are equally important.
If they don't pay you and don't treat you as a human being, such a business won't last long.
So although Zhu Youxiao's actions seemed to be trying to win people's hearts, he actually wanted them to be well from the bottom of his heart.
After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Xu Guangqi became very excited. He knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor! Long live the emperor!"
Following Xu Guangqi's shout, the people behind him all knelt down and shouted loudly: "Long live our emperor, long live, long live!"
Zhu Youxiao knew that their shouts came from the heart.
After they finished shouting, Zhu Youxiao helped Xu Guangqi and Bi Maokang up again.
After everyone stood up, Zhu Youxiao continued, "I know what you are thinking, but you are not allowed to do this again in the future."
"Do research when you need to do research, and rest when you need to rest. Research is not that important now, so you can relax."
"One more thing. I will arrange for your family to come to Beijing so that you can reunite and enjoy the joy of family life with your family during your rest time. I will also take care of all arrangements for your family in Beijing, including food and accommodation."
Now that we have finished talking about the chicken soup for the soul, it is time to talk about the benefits, so Zhu Youxiao brought up these benefits.
