Chapter 821 Integration
Sheng Ze shook his head and said to him, "Don't think about it, just do it."
"This..." Zheng Shicheng frowned, "But now the people are so opposed. Even if we force the prisoners to be recruited, I'm afraid it will be difficult to lead the new recruits later."
Liang Cheng patted his shoulder and interrupted, "Yunzhi, if we change our previous decision because we are afraid that the new recruits will be difficult to lead, or because of the opposition of the people, what will we do if we encounter similar situations in the future?"
Zheng Shicheng was stunned and suddenly reacted.
Yes, how did he get so confused? If every decision is changed because of someone making a fuss, then who is making the decision?
"Sir Zheng, when we discussed the treatment of the captives, we said we should try to integrate them into our lives," Sheng Ze said, looking at Zheng Shicheng. "The most direct way is to get them involved. Recruiting soldiers is our first step."
As long as the first step is taken well, everything else will fall into place. Otherwise, they must change their attitude towards prisoners.
Defending one's country often arouses a deep sense of belonging and identity in people. Sheng Ze feels that the quickest way to get these captives into the right state is to participate in the training of the Hubei North Army.
However, the Hubei North Army has already been supplemented with 100,000 people, and it is not appropriate to recruit new soldiers. The new organization may have better results.
Zheng Shicheng figured it out and said, "Your Highness is right. I know what to do."
Sheng Ze was also helpless about Zheng Shicheng's address. Whenever there were no outsiders around, he insisted on calling him "Your Highness," saying that etiquette could not be abolished. On this point, he was even more stubborn than Qi Lao.
Maybe this is Chunchen, and Shengze can only let him do what he wants.
The recruitment of the Hubei Northern Army continued without any changes.
The people's initial doubts and discussions turned into dissatisfaction.
"Since they're going to recruit those prisoners this time, I won't go. I don't want to train with foreigners."
"Are you stupid? It's because of them that we have to go! Otherwise, they will look down on us."
"Uh, that seems to be the case."
As a result, the number of people who signed up this time was even greater than before, and some teenagers who did not meet the requirements also wanted to sign up.
"A few days ago, some outsiders married girls from our village. If we don't go, their children will be better than ours in the future."
This is what the children think, and Zheng Shicheng was so amused when he heard it.
Currently, foreigners who marry people in Ezhou are basically technical talents, and they get married only when they are in love with local girls, without so many twists and turns.
"Don't worry about them, just follow the rules. We'll make a final decision based on their performance later." Zheng Shicheng said to his men.
It’s too early to say anything now, let’s rely on our real abilities to speak for ourselves!
After the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Qingyun Academy's girls' school officially began recruiting students.
Because of the support of Liang Cheng and others, the government specially posted notices in various counties in Ezhou and sent people to read them under the notices.
As soon as the notice was released, the whole of Ezhou was in an uproar.
"Could it be that the government of women's education has taken the wrong medicine? What's the point of women studying?"
"That's right, when will women be able to study? What exactly is Qingyun Academy doing?"
"You can't say that, regardless of gender, reading more books is always beneficial."
"What do you know? If all women go to school, who will take care of the housework, the children, the elderly, and who will take care of them?"
