The people used by the huge family of the Lin Mansion are divided into three groups, the first is the kinship, the Lin Mansion has lasted for hundreds of years, although the branch of the lineage is currently only a lone seedling like Lin Zhe, but there are also side branches, and some of the children of these side branches still rely on the Lin Mansion for food.

The second type is domestic slaves, including purchased slaves, family children, etc., they are mainly engaged in the housekeeping in the Lin Mansion house, that is, the work of serving people, so whether these people are small servants or maids or stewards and housekeepers, they have no freedom in life, maybe some stewards and housekeepers dress very decently, and outsiders will also respect them and call them so-and-so stewards, housekeepers, but as long as the master is unhappy, he will be killed.

The third is the external shopkeeper and guys, most of the big shopkeepers and guys in the Lin family are this kind of people, they take wages to do things, and the big shopkeepers sometimes get dividends, this group of people is the main manager and assistant of the Lin family in the business, and this is the kind of errand in Lin Zhe's mouth.

Lin Zhe promised the families of the victims a quota to enter the shops in the mansion, which is actually very rare, but in this era, it is actually a very rare thing to enter the big business house as an errand boy.

Even being an apprentice is the dream of countless people, because the lowest guy is also a monthly silver in addition to food and accommodation, and usually the head of the family generally does not quit, that is to say, as long as he enters the big commercial house, it can basically guarantee a lifetime of food problems, in this era when even eating is a problem, being able to eat is already the pursuit of countless people.

And as long as you achieve the level of management, in fact, it is almost the same as the department manager in the large enterprises in the future, if you can achieve the level of the big shopkeeper, it is basically the general manager level of a large enterprise.

In addition to the victims, the people who were injured today will also be responsible for all the cost of the soup and medicine, and a reward of ten taels of silver.

In addition to dealing with the aftermath of the dead and wounded in their own homes, there are also many corpses and wounded left by bandits outside, and those corpses do not need to be detailed, just find a place to bury them, and those who are injured are lynched and tortured.

And the result of the torture made Lin Zhe speechless, this group of bandits is not a real Taiping army, but a group of bandits and homeless people who came from nearby, they saw that the Taiping army in southern Jiangsu was strong, they raised the banner of the Taiping army, took the opportunity to loot the place, and even wanted to take Yuyao County.

I heard that the Lin family's Zhuangzi in the east of the city stored a lot of goods, so I moved my mind to attack, but I didn't expect that the Lin family had a lot of people in the Zhuangzi, and they couldn't beat it down for half a day, and when Lin Zhe brought people to the rescue, the end would be tragic!

Lin Zhexian first inspected the goods stored in the Zhuangzi, and found that there was no shortage due to chaos, so he left more than 30 people to stay in the Zhuangzi, and then he didn't stay long, so he took Wang Jiaotou and they went back.

On the way back, Lin Zhe was already planning to transfer the goods in Zhuangzi in the east of the city, and now the situation is chaotic, even Shaoxing, which is far away from the war zone, is not safe, so he should transfer the goods to the treaty port of Shanghai as soon as possible.

In these years, if there is any safe place in China, it is only the treaty port of Shanghai, because of the existence of the concession and a large number of foreign garrisons, from the first war to the War of Resistance against Japan, no matter how fierce the domestic civil war is, it has not been able to affect the Shanghai concession area.

Such a place has naturally become the preferred refuge for countless wealthy people and businessmen in the midst of domestic chaos.

Historically, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the number of Chinese in the Shanghai Concession increased from thousands to hundreds of thousands, and the population of the entire Shanghai area exceeded one million.

Like everyone else, in the face of the threat of war, Lin Zhe's first place of refuge was Shanghai, for which he was already planning to gradually transfer the family industry to the Shanghai area, and the preparation of a steam silk reeling factory was one of the important industrial layouts.

The main business of the Lin family is raw silk, and due to the impact of the war, a large number of direct operations of the Lin family in northern Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu and the handmade raw silk workshops of their partners will be hit hard.

Yuyao Lin family, is a large business with a history of hundreds of years, from the former Ming Chongzhen period is to begin to engage in the raw silk industry, after more than 200 years of development, its tentacles have been throughout the Yangtze River Delta all the raw silk production areas, in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningpo and other places are with a number of handmade silk reeling workshops, sold to the country, but also a large number of exports.

At the same time, it is also engaged in the foreign trade of tea and porcelain, and every year the Lin family will buy a large amount of tea and porcelain and sell them to those foreign firms.

The Lin family directly employs as many as 1,000 shopkeepers, associates, and workers, and the number of people who rely on the Lin family to live is as high as more than 10,000.

To put it simply, the Lin family is a business family with raw silk as its main business, of course, there is no distinction between officials and businessmen in these years, although the Lin family is based on business, but it will also train the children of the family to study and enter the official career, but there are a few talents, but none of them can be admitted, let alone Jinshi.

However, the Lin family is not good at studying, but the Lin family is not short of money, Lin Zhe's father, who died of illness a few years ago, spent thousands of taels of silver to donate an alternate prefect, but the alternate prefect who donated it was said to be an official, not that it was more convenient to do business.

Lin Zhe's original body also did not have a talent for the imperial examination, and after failing to be admitted to a show for many years, he was already planning to donate money to an official body, of course, not to become an official, but to be like his father, to be able to be more convenient when doing business.

Returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Zhe first met Mrs. Lin, and after learning that Lin Zhe came back safely, Mrs. Lin's face was obviously worried, and then asked a few words about today's war, whether the goods in the Zhuangzi were safe or not, and so on, when he heard Lin Zhe say that he had killed more than a dozen thieves.

Mrs. Lin snorted coldly: "These damn thieves, it's cheaper for them to die, but they have fled more than 100 people, and they must also be prepared to prevent them from making a comeback!" ”

Lin Zhe immediately said: "The child is also this idea, not only to prevent those thieves from coming back, but also the situation will come more and more in the future, so the child is thinking about whether to buy another batch of muskets from the hands of foreigners, and recruit some nurses, so that if something happens in the future, it can be more or less blocked!" ”

Mrs. Lin said: "Well, this matter has been done, and now in this world, the government is unreliable!" ”

Although Mrs. Lin is a woman's family, she has been in charge of the internal affairs of the Lin Mansion for decades, and after the death of Lin's father, she has been in charge of the family business for many years.

Such an old lady naturally can't be treated as an ordinary old lady, she has a clear view of the domestic situation in recent years, and she also knows that the official army has been defeated again and again over the years, and it is a luxury to expect the official army to protect the territory and the people, and if you want to ensure the safety of the family business and the family, you have to rely on yourself.

Yuyao Lin's business network covers the entire northern Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu regions, and has many years of cooperative relations with many foreign firms, Lin Zhe asked to buy foreign guns, naturally he did not need to go to Shanghai to buy, but gave instructions to his shopkeepers to buy a batch of foreign guns.

Compared with foreign guns, it is difficult to find people who use muskets!

Today's battle-like battle has given Lin Zhe a certain understanding of his own nursing home, there are about fifty people in the formal nursing home of the Lin Mansion, but more than 20 people are scattered all over the place, escorting caravans around the warehouse and the like, and there are less than thirty people in the nursing home who stay in the mansion.

However, these people are just good individuals, and it is okay for them to fight alone with swords, but it would be too reluctant to fight in formation.

As for those Zhuang Ding, there is no way to count on them, those Zhuang Ding are actually some ordinary guys and small households in the Lin Mansion, etc., who temporarily bring knives and guns to strengthen their momentum, and it is impossible to have any training, and there is no personal bravery.

As the situation became chaotic, Lin Zhe felt that it was still necessary for him to expand the power of the nursing home, whether it was to protect the safety of his family or to escort the caravan.

It's just where do the people come from?

After thinking for a long time, Lin Zhe felt that he still had to take materials from the nearest and recruit them from his own small households, although the Lin family was based on business, but like all contemporary big families, whether they were in business or politics, they liked to buy a lot of land, although the land owned by the Lin family was not as good as those landlords who regarded land as the root of their lives, but they also owned a lot of land.

Recruiting nurses from their own small households not only guarantees loyalty to a certain extent, but also the children of peasant families are more honest and honest, and it is easy to train, and this can be regarded as a way out for their own small households to solve their food problems.

The problem of personnel and weapons has been solved, but how to train is also a problem, at least it can't be handed over to Wang Jiaotou, who was originally born as a bandit, and can teach martial arts, but he will definitely not be able to teach them military discipline.

And considering that these nursing homes will be an important means to save his life in the future, and he can't take them lightly, Lin Zhe still feels that he needs to train himself.

Although I don't know much about military affairs, I have watched a lot of war movies, and I also know that it is very popular to line up to be shot these days, and it should be no problem to teach a group of mud-legged people to line up to play shooting.

Lin Zhe has always been a person who likes to do it, since he decided to expand the scale of the nursing home, he soon personally formulated the criteria for recruiting nursing homes, and released them to several of his own granges, and his own stewards will be responsible for detailed affairs.
