"Of course, I'm reluctant to let the people of Zhujia Village stay in those counties."
Lin Yiran nodded, turned and looked at Zhu Changshou,
"Pick some people who are well-educated and have them accompany the county magistrates back later. Have them study hard and keep up with the training. Their salaries will be doubled compared to the soldiers, and they will be taken with them when they leave."
She just wanted to give the people of Zhujia Village more opportunities to learn, so that when they conquered other cities in the future, she could let them take over and arrange affairs so that they wouldn't be left in the dark.
Let them have more contact with officials so that they won’t be frightened when seeing those officials in the future and can develop strong psychological qualities.
These people are her personal soldiers, and she will use them in the future. Of course, she hopes that they know as much as possible.
"Yes! I would like to thank General Long for the promotion on behalf of the people of Zhujia Village!"
"I will ensure that they learn from the various county magistrates and ensure that they complete their daily training tasks beyond their targets and do not fall behind."
Zhu Changshou knelt on one knee to thank Lin Yi, then immediately turned around and clasped his fists towards Xiao Yunzhan.
"On behalf of the people of Zhujia Village, I would like to thank King Yongchang!"
He understood that General Long had high hopes for the people of Zhujia Village and hoped that they could learn more.
Learning about official business from the county magistrate is not an opportunity that comes easily.
"Okay, get up." Lin Yiran smiled and waved her hand.
Zhu Changshou grinned, "Thank you, General Long, thank you, King Yongchang."
He knew he was holding the right thigh.
Look, in private, Prince Yongchang listens to General Long.
What does this mean? It means that General Long has a closer relationship with the God King. After all, General Long is a god.
The people of Shuitian City didn't know, but many of the refugee soldiers knew that the women of the Xiao family were the incarnations of the Seven Fairies, and Xiao Yunzhan was just a handsome man bestowed by the fairies to protect the people. The difference in level was not a small one.
He understood that Prince Yongchang was just a figurehead put forward by the fairies.
After Zhu Changshou stood up, he looked at Lin Yiran with a happy face, his eyes flashed slightly, and he knelt down again.
"General Long, I, on behalf of the people of Zhujia Village, ask General Long to grant me a surname."
Lin Yiran was slightly stunned. "Given a surname? Isn't your surname Zhu?"
"Yes, our surname is Zhu, but we and the people of Zhujia Village only want to follow General Long in the future, so we want General Long to give the people of Zhujia Village a surname."
Zhu Changshou looked at Lin Yiran expectantly.
He had heard from the village teacher that if he wanted to be more closely connected with his master, he had to take his master's surname.
If the master is willing to give them a surname, it means great recognition of them. When they tell others about it in the future, they will know who they are as soon as they hear it.
The people of Zhujia Village don't sound domineering enough and are not worthy of General Long.
Xiao Yunzhan looked at Zhu Changshou in shock. This villager is really smart.
How afraid are they that Lin Yiran won't want them? They must be tied to Lin Yiran tightly.
Bestowing surnames was something that the emperor would usually do. Whoever made great contributions or whoever the emperor admired would be given a surname as a high honor.
It would indeed bring honor to the family if it were made known to others, after all, it was a gift from the emperor.
Zhu Changshou really put a lot of thought into coming up with this idea.
Lin Yiran immediately understood what Zhu Changshou meant. She raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Then let's give the people of Zhujia Village the surname 'Lin'."
She fell in love with the people of Zhujia Village, and the people of Zhujia Village were willing to follow her wholeheartedly. This was a perfect two-way relationship.
There is no need to refuse. Just give me the surname.
The muscles on Zhu Changshou's face were trembling with excitement, and the light of joy in his eyes was overflowing.
His lips trembled as he knelt down to thank her.
"Lin Changshou, on behalf of the Lin Family Army, thanks General Long for bestowing the surname. The Lin Family Army swears to follow General Long until death."
The excited people of Zhujia Village all knelt down and shouted,
"Thank you, General Long, for giving me your surname. The Lin Family Army is sworn to follow General Long until death."
Zhu Changshou couldn't suppress the upward curve of his mouth. He was extremely excited when he heard the three words "Lin Family Army".
"Lin Family Army" sounds much better than "Zhu Family Village People". It sounds like General Long's men, which is great.
Lin Yiran was also very pleased with what he heard, and waved his hand.
"The Lin family army will have an extra meal tonight!"
What's wrong with her private soldiers being treated better? She has the ability to do so.
"Thank you, General Long. General Long is so mighty!"
The Lin family soldiers present were shouting at the top of their lungs, sounding extremely happy.
The people and officials who were queuing up to register over there all looked over when they heard the noise.
Magistrate Tian frowned doubtfully and muttered softly,
"Prince Yongchang is giving General Long his own private soldiers? I'm afraid that's a bit inappropriate."
Shouldn't we unite as one, recruit and train soldiers, and take down Daliang in one fell swoop? Why are we splitting up?
He used to think that the people of Zhujia Village were smart, but now they directly recognized General Long as their leader in front of King Yongchang. How could King Yongchang feel comfortable?
Prefect Tian sighed and shook his head. After all, they were just a group of common people who didn't know how to judge the situation.
The county magistrates surrounding Magistrate Tian also looked puzzled.
"Prince Yongchang has spoiled General Long a little too much..."
"It's fun between newlyweds..."
"Alas, women are the ruin of a country."
