Hearing Lin Zhe directly ask the most critical question, the smile on Huang Peizhi's face became even brighter!

You must know that it is not easy for him to be a corrupt official, although he is a Jinshi on the right path, but he is only a top three, and he was already in his forties when he was admitted to Jinshi, and he was a candidate in Beijing for five years before he was assigned to a poor county in Shaanxi to be a magistrate, and he only made less than 10,000 taels of silver in the three years of his tenure, and the language was average, and when he was about to be returned to his hometown to retire, Huang Peizhi gritted his teeth, and sent the proceeds of corruption plus the thousands of taels of silver raised to Beijing for more than 10,000 taels of silver. Finally retained his official position and was transferred to Renzhi County, Yuyao, Zhejiang, but he thought that he would not give up until he earned 100,000 taels during his tenure, otherwise he would not be able to study hard for half of his life.

It's a pity that just half a year after taking office, the Taiping army hit southern Jiangsu, which scared him a lot, and what is even more tragic is that last month he wrote brilliantly and made the battle in the east of the city very 'artistic', what is artistic? Artistry means that he has 500 county warriors under his command, and he broke a thousand thieves in a war and killed 100 enemies.

Although he was rewarded from above, but then trouble came, Huang Zonghan, who was the governor of Zhejiang at the time, was anxious to intercept the Taiping army's eastward retreat, and heard that Yuyao had an elite county warrior who could defeat a thousand thieves, and he was too lazy to check the truth and falsehood, so he directly sent an order to Yuyao, asking Yuyao County to order Huang Peizhi to send 500 capable county warriors to Huzhou to wait for dispatch.

After receiving this order, Huang Peizhi was dumbfounded, are you Huang Zonghan a fool?

Don't you know that it is common in officialdom to exaggerate war reports? Wouldn't you take the initiative to shrink the number tenfold?

I said that there were 500 elite soldiers, and 100 enemies were killed, do you really believe it?

Of course, he could only scold these words in his heart, and he definitely didn't dare to resist the courage of Huang Zonghan, the governor of Zhejiang, but even if he wanted to send county warriors, he couldn't do it, why, because he didn't have these five hundred county warriors under his hands at all!

After thinking hard for a few days, he remembered Lin Zhe, and then found that Lin Zhe was the most appropriate wronged leader in this era, and the Lin family originally raised no less than 100 people in the nursing home and Zhuang Ding, which was pulled out as a ready-made county warrior, and then recruited two or three hundred mud legs by himself, which could barely make up four or five hundred people.

And there is also a very critical thing, Lin Zhe has money, if Lin Zhe is willing to run this county Yong camp, the funds will be solved at once!

That's what he invited Lin Zhe to talk about at night!

Hearing that Lin Zhe was relieved, Huang Peizhi held back the surprise in his heart, and immediately said: "The charter should be easy to say, as for the cost, the county can come up with five thousand taels first!" ”

The implication is that he, Huang Peizhi, only gives five thousand taels, and the rest depends on your Lin family to solve it!

Although Yuyao is also a first-class county in northern Zhejiang, it is estimated that only the Lin family can take out thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver at one time without blinking.

Otherwise, there are so many landlords and wealthy businessmen in Yuyao, and he Huang Peizhi would not have found Lin Zhe directly.

Lin Zhe himself also wanted to engage in group training, but he didn't have the opportunity before, and now the opportunity is in front of him, although it is only a group training in a local government and county, it is impossible to get the title of the minister of group training like Zeng Guofan, but after all, it is also a beginning.

However, he didn't smile directly, but deliberately said with a cautious face: "The kid is just a grass people, I'm afraid this group practice is inappropriate!" ”

At this time, Huang Peizhi smiled: "You know the situation of the national dynasty no less than me, why is it difficult to want an official body!" ”

Although Huang Peizhi didn't say it explicitly, Lin Zhe knew that he was referring to donating officials, and if he threw out a few thousand taels of silver, he could donate an alternate magistrate, if he was willing to give up the money, he would be generous and throw out tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the alternate Taoist would be in hand.

The key is that this kind of alternate official has no practical use on weekdays, and there are more alternate officials in recent years, and there are few who can get real jobs.

Huang Peizhi continued to persuade: "If Brother Lin Xian wants to donate, I, Huang, have some relationship with the top, and the cost will definitely be less than that of people, in addition, I can also ask you for a dispatch to supervise Yuyao's group training." ”

Although Lin Zhe had already made up his mind to hold this group exercise, this kind of thing naturally couldn't be decided casually!

So he didn't agree to Huang Peizhi at the first time, but said: "It's a big matter, I still need to discuss a thing or two with my mother, and let me give a reply to my father and elder in two days!" ”

After finishing speaking, he said again: "Of course, no matter what happens later, but since the county lord wants to hold a group to protect the territory and the people, as a Yuyao person, I will naturally make a contribution!" ”

The latter sentence is to appease Huang Peizhi, saying that no matter whether he can do it or not, he will definitely come up with more or less money at that time.

Out of the county office, it was already a little late, he sat in the carriage and meditated for a long time, thinking about what to do with this group exercise, how to ask Huang Peizhi and even the Shaoxing Mansion and even the governor of Zhejiang Yamen for conditions, they want to be the head of their own wrongs to pay for the group training, they can't not give no support at all, maybe the funds can't be too much, but what about the support of the government?

Also, Lin Zhe also thought about how to persuade Mrs. Lin to let herself run a group exercise, after all, at this time it involved at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, and once the group training was held, she would lead the army to the front line to fight, whether Mrs. Lin would let herself be in the middle of the war is also a matter worth considering.

The carriage swayed all the way, and before I knew it, it was already in the Lin Mansion.

When the carriage stopped, the voice of the head of the Wang sect came from outside: "Young master, you have arrived in the mansion!" ”

Lin Zhecai stopped thinking about it, got out of the carriage, returned to the backyard, asked the people, and immediately went to Mrs. Lin's courtyard after learning that Mrs. Lin had not slept yet.

"Zhe'er is back!" Mrs. Lin held the Buddhist beads in her hand at this time and knelt on the futon.

Lin Zhe immediately relayed today's conversation with Huang Xianling to Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin sneered after hearing it: "This Huang Peizhi is not small-hearted, I am afraid that this brave operation will cost 20,000 silver, plus the money donated before and after 30,000 taels cannot be taken, he dares to open this mouth!" ”

Lin Zhe said: "What does Mother mean to ignore him?" ”

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin changed her words: "Then you don't need it, isn't it just tens of thousands of taels of silver, our Lin family can still get it!" As long as I can exchange it for my son, what does it matter if I can get a real official position?

Besides, sooner or later, my son will have to donate an official body, sooner or later, he will have to spend this money, and now that he has this opportunity, he just happened to do it together! ”

Lin Zhe was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Mrs. Lin to think further than he expected, originally he thought that Mrs. Lin would strongly oppose himself to holding a group training, on the one hand, it was a lot of money, and on the other hand, Mrs. Lin was still very concerned about Lin Zhe's safety, and she would definitely not let her son go to the battlefield and then give away her life.

This night talk with Mrs. Lin made Lin Zhe even more excited!

Although he is also a man who cherishes his life, he doesn't want to take the army to the battlefield to fight, and he may be killed by a small stray bullet without eyes.

On the other hand, to be honest, he doesn't have much of a good impression of being an official in this era, and he will become a traitor referred to by thousands of people if he dies in a small life, and let him work for Xianfeng, an alien emperor, to be honest, it feels too fucked.

Earlier, Lin Zhe thought about going to the Shanghai Concession to be his rich son, and when the country was completely chaotic, he would simply immigrate to the United States, relying on his prophet, and then having millions of family fortunes now, it is not a dream to build a business empire, and it is still very cool to be at the helm of the American consortium.

However, as a man, and a man who has traveled from the afterlife to this era, to put it shamelessly, Lin Zhe also thought that since God had brought him to this era, if he didn't do something earth-shattering, wouldn't he be sorry for his own crossing.

Isn't there a saying, clear wear is not rebellious, chrysanthemum set electric drill!

Before, Lin Zhe was suffering from not having the opportunity to play rebellion, but now, an opportunity to engage in group training is in front of him, although the opportunity is not too good, but it can be regarded as an officially recognized group training, which is naturally not okay if he gives up directly, but Lin Zhe is also worried that if he really goes to this Yuyao County Yongying, I am afraid that he will take out tens of thousands of taels of silver to waste.

It is very risky to engage in this kind of township courage that has no official name, but is only named in the local government and county, not to mention without official financial support and personnel support, and it is easy to be cut off by the Taiping Army, and what is even more tragic is that you finally pull out a team, and then you may be picked by Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, a genuine minister of regimental training.

How did Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang's Hunan army and Huai army come to be in the first place? It was not that they trained themselves one soldier at a time, but the local township courage that was directly integrated, that is, the kind of township courage that Lin Zhe wants to engage in now, and then recruited new soldiers to have the famous Huai Army and Hunan Army in later generations.

Risks and opportunities coexist, which has caused Lin Zhe to face the current situation.

The next day, Lin Zhe went to the county government again, and this time he gave Huang Peizhi a clear answer: "It's okay to run the county Yong camp, but how can you do it according to what I said!" ”

When Huang Peizhi heard this, he immediately said with joy on his face: "This is natural!" ”

Huang Peizhi doesn't care what you Lin Zhe does, as long as you Lin Zhe pulls out 500 people to go to Huzhou, even if he Huang Peizhi completes the task of Huang Zonghan, the governor of Zhejiang, the next thing is his business!

Immediately, Lin Zhe and Huang Peizhi discussed again, mainly to discuss the details of the project, and finally officially named this county Yong who is still in planning as 'Yuyao County Yongying'.

Lin Zhe was the superintendent, and Huang Peizhi was the council manager, as for what kind of establishment to use, to recruit the soldiers there, what ordnance to use, and how to raise funds, Huang Peizhi didn't care.

Of course, now Lin Zhe is still just a commoner, and it is naturally not possible to serve as a superintendent, and he has to donate another official, and the official position cannot be too low, Lin Zhe is ready to donate a Taoist.
