Li Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, then you will be the captain of my family from today onwards." Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info I will recruit ten subordinates for you, and when the time comes, you will send people to stand guard at the door of the workshop every day, and the others will train in the courtyard. ”

"Although you are the captain, your current monthly income is still two taels. In the future, if your family Ding team makes meritorious contributions, I will give you additional monthly money! ”

Zhong Feng's face flushed with joy, and said, "Okay, Brother Zhi'er is so interesting, give me ten subordinates!" Brother Zhi'er, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job as the captain of this family, stand up well, and do a good job in training! Beat up those who covet our workshop. ”

Li Zhi nodded, and then left.

When he returned home, Li Zhi called his second grandfather again and asked him to recommend six relatives to be housekeepers. Li Yousheng naturally would not give up the good thing of coming to the door, and recommended six distant relatives that Li Zhi had never seen, saying that they were all big men. Li Zhi gave the wind to his grandfather again, and his grandfather Zheng Pinchun immediately recommended four distant relatives who were taller to come, and gathered ten people to form a family team.

Li Zhi recruited another person from the neighborhood to work as a workshop helper to fill the vacancy after Zhong Feng left.

The Jiading team is the first force that Li Zhi has mastered since he crossed into this era, and Li Zhi attaches great importance to it.

After the establishment of the family team, they began to carry out daily standing guard and training. For the first training, Li Zhi personally led the team.

Standing in the courtyard of the soap workshop, Li Zhi looked at the family members standing in a row and nodded.

The Ming Dynasty forbade the common people to carry swords in the city, but the common people were allowed to hold swords in their own homes. Li Zhi bought a pear blossom spear for each of his eleven family members, which he usually kept in the workshop and used it when he encountered a police situation. When standing guard, each person holds a long stick as a weapon.

Standing in the courtyard at this time, the eleven family members were all holding pear flower guns, looking quite imposing.

Standing in front of the family team, Li Zhi, who has been a man for two lifetimes, said loudly: "Do you know the purpose of forming this family team? ”

Hearing Li Zhi's inquiry, the eleven family members were unsure of the answer and did not dare to answer.

"The short-term goal, the goal of the family team, is to deal with the traitors who covet the soap workshop and defend the soap factory. However, this is not the fundamental goal of the establishment of the Jiading team. ”

"The fundamental goal of the establishment of the Jiading team is to defeat the Tartars and return the prosperity of our Han people."

Hearing Li Zhi's words, the family members were stunned. Defeating the Tartars is too far away for this small team of housekeepers, right?

Li Zhi continued: "If we don't defeat the Tartars, the land of our Han people will be plundered from time to time, and there will be no peace in the north of the Ming Dynasty. If we don't defeat the Tartars, the Ming Dynasty will die sooner or later, and we Han people will die under the butcher's knife one by one, and we will shave our hair and become slaves. ”

Hearing Li Zhi's generous words, the family members looked at Brother Zhi differently and became more and more respectful. A benevolent person who has the world in his heart and the world in his heart must not be a busy man. If an ordinary person says these great truths, I am afraid that he will be regarded as an idiot. But Li Zhi, who has made such a big career in just a few months, is convincing to say such things.

Brother Zhi is not a mortal, maybe he can really lead us to defeat the Tartars and end this year of chaos.

But Li Zhi's encouraging words did not stop: "Maybe today you are still very weak and worthy of the blow of the Tartars." But as our business expands, the team will get bigger and bigger. When the time comes, we will be qualified enough to be enemies of the Tartars. ”

After a pause, Li Zhi retracted the topic and said, "Of course, we don't rely on a bloody courage to fight against the Tartars. In the future, I will arm the Jiading team with the best equipment, so that the Jiading team will become elite soldiers armed to the teeth. ”

"And you today are the eleven seeds of the Jiading team. As long as you behave well and don't fall behind, you will be the veterans of the family team in the future, and you will become officers and enjoy the honor and income of officers. ”

Hearing Li Zhi's depiction of the future, the eleven family's eyes lit up, as if they had seen their future achievements.

"Of course, now we don't have iron armor, no horses, no birds, no cannons, we only have a pear flower gun. But a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Our training started with this pear spear formation. Everyone, like me, practice thrusts! ”

Twelve scarecrows had already been erected in the courtyard. Li Zhi grabbed the pear flower gun and stabbed it in the chest of a scarecrow, and there was a big wooden ball with a fist in the heart of the scarecrow's chest, and it was this wooden ball that Li Zhi stabbed.

"Hey!"

After a shot, Li Zhi did not stab the wooden ball and missed.

Turning his head, Li Zhi said to the family: "Everyone is like me, practice the wooden ball of the piercing until the gun can hit the target!" ”

The family members said loudly: "Good! ”

Zhong Feng took the lead, and the family members joined the training one after another and began to stab at the scarecrow. For a moment, the middle of the courtyard was filled with the shouts of the housekeepers when they stabbed.

At the beginning of March, the southerly wind gradually rises, and it is the time when it is warm and cold. The thick padded jacket has been taken off, but the clothes inside the sticker are still to be worn.

Optimistic about the future of soap, Xu Mince, one of the eight major firms in Tianjin, attaches great importance to Li Zhi. In the past few days, Xu Mince has often visited Li Zhi and talked with Li Zhi in the courtyard of the Li family, not caring about the dilapidated courtyard of the Li family and the simplicity of the tea. From Xu Mince's mouth, Li Zhi knew a lot of information about the upper class. After coming and going, Li Zhi gradually became familiar with Xu Mince. Xu Mince called Li Zhi to be Li's younger brother, and Li Zhi called Xu Mince Xu Brother Xu, and he became a good friend for the year.

On this day, Xu Mince said that Lu Siqi, the owner of Longsheng, the second largest business in Tianjin, held a birthday banquet and invited Li Zhi to go with him. In line with the idea of seeing the world, Li Zhi wore a new suit of clothes and went to the Zuixian Tower with Xu Mince for a banquet.

Li Zhi walked to the door of the Drunken Immortal Building and found that the entire Drunken Immortal Building had been wrapped.

There was Lu Siqi's family standing at the door of the drunken immortal building to greet him, and when he saw Xu Mince coming, the family said with a smile on their faces: "Master Xu is here, and my master has a light on his face." Master Xu, please, follow me to the top floor! ”

Xu Mince handed over a birthday gift list to Lu Siqi's family, and Lu Siqi's family quickly took it, left the other guests, and led Xu Mince and Li Zhi upstairs.

The Drunken Immortal Building has three floors, and it is full of people at this time. There are ten tables on the ground floor, and the people sitting next to the tables are ordinary merchants, probably the partners and retail channels of Lu Siqi, who are popular in Nalong. Although these businessmen also wore satin clothes, they had no aura, and they could not be compared with wealthy businessmen like Xu Mince.

On the second floor, there were four large tables, and there were big businessmen. These businessmen are not only richly dressed, but also have an aura between talking and laughing. Li Zhi stood at the top of the stairs and glanced around, and found that Xue Yuanwai, who sold soda ash to himself, was also among them.
