The inspection team was not surprised, after all, the group of people recruited by Li Yongji used to be ordinary people, and the main group of people were bankrupt peasants who worked in all walks of life in Qingpu County, that is, the so-called migrant workers who went to the city to work.

Although such a group of people is more literate than ordinary poor people, has a wide range of knowledge, and has a good physique, they also have some treacherous habits, and they have not been on errands under Li Yongji for a long time, so it is quite rare to be able to line up well and not make loud noises in private. At least Li Yongji felt that these people were much more disciplined than the middle school students who had just started school in later generations, at least when Li Yongji came to the stage, they all kept their mouths shut and did not speak, instead of talking impassionedly above like middle school students in later generations, but they whispered small words below.

However, the few people brought by Wang Sanwu after that made Li Yongji feel a little surprised, and felt that the silver he gave to Wang Sanwu before was not a loss at all, and he still made a lot of money.

Wang Sanwu brought a total of five people, all of whom were young people between the ages of 20 and 30, and they were all officials of Qingpu County.

The oldest one is named Zhang Wei, Chinese New Year's Eve, because there are several pockmarks on his face, people give the nickname Zhang Mazi, and his profession is ordinary knife hunting, that is, the kind of hunting fast that patrols the streets of Qingpu County with a waist knife. It is said that his knife skills are very good, in terms of knife skills, known as the first in the county, but unfortunately he is wooden, and his appearance is more unpleasant because of pockmarks, so he has not been reused, and he is still an ordinary catcher.

Zhou Da, 26 years old this year, his original occupation was a jailer in Qingpu County Prison, lean, very lively and active, and very broken-mouthed, he couldn't stand loneliness at first glance, no wonder he was not willing to be a jailer.

Lin Chunsheng, twenty-three years old, is a standing officer, that is, when the county magistrate passes the court to try the case, they stand aside to help shout mighty and obey the orders of the group of people who play the board. There is no doubt that shouting all day long, although Lin Chunsheng's figure is inconspicuous, his voice is the biggest in this group.

The last two people are called Jiang Yun and Jiang Hai, they are twin brothers, Jiang Yun is the eldest brother, Jiang Hai is the second brother, they are both young people who are only seventeen years old, and they are both white-faced handsome guys. Both of them are Wang Sanwu's hardcore subordinates, generally speaking, wherever Wang Sanwu goes, the two of them will go, they can be regarded as fans of Wang Sanwu.

When I asked, I found out that these people, like Wang Sanwu, were all from generations of government officials, that is to say, these people are actually all regular workers, not those who have expanded the staff, and most of them have been government officials from their grandfathers.

It is said that the regular work of the government service is not bad, but in the later generations, it will be the hereditary treatment of regular civil servants, how many people will break their heads for such an iron rice bowl, it is really hard to imagine that they will give up this treatment and go to a regiment for training, that is, to work as an errand in the militia.

But after thinking about it, the so-called time shift of the world, the peaceful and prosperous era of the later generations, is naturally popular with civil servants who ensure income through drought and flood, but in this troubled era, a government official has no future at all, because their identity determines that it is difficult for them to take the road of becoming an official in the imperial examination, even if the government lets you take the exam, your past identity will also hinder your road to the imperial examination. To put it simply, people in the officialdom naturally discriminate against these people who were born as servants, and ordinary people are naturally afraid of these people, although they are a little bit more oily than ordinary people, but if you really want to count, their status is worse than that of the city management of later generations.

The reputation is not good, and the future is narrow, so it is a better way out to win fame through military exploits and then change the trajectory of life.

Of course, those are prospect expectations, and it is estimated that they will not be able to impress these descendants of the government officials who have family roots and pay great attention to their immediate interests, and the reason why they are willing to follow Wang Sanwu is mainly because the salary is high enough.

Li Yongji's settling-in allowance was actually fifty taels of silver per person, which is not a small amount of money, even in Qingpu County, it is also a money that can open a small restaurant, and after they came, they were given five taels of silver per month, and they also included food, housing, clothes and weapons.

And what kind of treatment were they made before? A formal servant, all the miscellaneous calculations in a month, it is only one or two silver, Wang Sanwu, the deputy head of the team, is only one or two or three dollars of silver, even if various kickbacks are added, it will not exceed three taels of silver a month, and these silver, they have to support the family, so look at it, the treatment is too bad, not to mention that there are fifty taels of settlement expenses.

In this era, for fifty taels of silver, it's okay to work hard, let alone just go to the group training, and be guaranteed to be a small leader.

In short, the high treatment plus Huaicai did not meet Wang Sanwu's lobbying, so he invited these people, plus Wang Sanwu himself, these are six people, and they are six people with a good level of knowledge, and there are many high-quality talents with a good level of knowledge.

With such people joining, of course Li Yongji is warmly welcomed, even if he is not satisfied, he has to be very satisfied for the sake of Wang Sanwu's face, not to mention that these people's Su zhì is relatively good.

In this way, Li Yongji said on the spot that he would definitely arrange a suitable and good seat according to the preferences and specialties of several of them in the future.

The reason why he was not given a position immediately was because, first, Li Yongji was not familiar with these people, and he could not be relieved to use them, and second, his team had a total of about 200 people, and the recruitment was too hasty, and there was no perfect system, so he had to wait for Yangxinju to reorganize there in the future. Therefore, Li Yongji kept them by his side as guest secretaries first, or assistants, and waited for a period of time to get acquainted with each other, and then assigned them jobs according to the situation. As for the dismissal, Li Yongji didn't think about it, after all, it still depends on Wang Sanwu's face, so if these people really don't have the ability in the future, they will be idlers, and they won't give important errands.

This soldier has also been recruited, the general is also there, and the identity has also come down, Li Yongji at this time, the soldiers are strong and the horses are not strong, but they are also a small hero.

Speaking of which, if there was no Wang Sanwu incident, according to Li Yongji's original plan, he planned to wait for everyone to recruit, and after the qualifications for group training were completed, he would take people to the Yangxinju to start formal training, but due to the changes in the shape, especially the joining of Wang Sanwu and other local parties, Li Yongji changed his original mind.

In other words, Li Yongji decided not to return to Yangxinju first, but to take root in Qingpu County, which has the advantage of relying on Qingpu County's trade status to do some business in Qingpu County first.

After all, Qingpu County is a relatively prosperous county, whether it is the total economic volume or the level of trade, it is much stronger than Zhujiajiao, after all, Zhujiajiao is mainly a grain distribution center at this time, just a town in Qingpu County, much worse than Qingpu County.

In the past, Li Yongji didn't want to develop here, because he didn't have the help of local acquaintances, and the so-called strong dragon didn't suppress the head snake, so he planned to return to his own territory in the early stage of development, but now it is clear that there is a better choice, and it would be a fool to go back to start from scratch. After all, with the help of Wang Sanwu and other former officials who are familiar with the inside story, Li Yongji is equivalent to recruiting a group of local snakes, and it is no longer a smear. And in the process of running the regimental training qualifications, he also came into contact with the bureaucratic group of the local county order and the secretary of the county order, Master Chen, which means that the official face also has a way, and if he doesn't use such good conditions, it will be really brain-pumping.

In this way, after discussing with Zhang Xinda, Li Yongji planned to take Qingpu County as a preliminary foothold and build a commercial network of buying and selling here, and making money first is the right thing.

As for the group training of the two hundred people, since it was originally in the name of the nursing home, they simply really trained as the nursing home, anyway, this group of people put it bluntly, they used to beg for a living in Qingpu County, and most of them were born in the market, and they only came for Li Yongji's treatment.

According to Zhang Xinda's statement, fighting a war does not depend on weapons alone, but also depends on morale and habits!

In the early stage of a family-style team building, the most important thing is to establish the habits of the team, which is the same as the corporate culture of a family business, what your team was like when it was first built, and what it was like later, this is the so-called glorious tradition.

In order to make the team have a good tradition, it is best to choose those honest peasants as soldiers, and try not to choose small citizens, because the bad habits of small citizens will bring the whole team badly, even if you use severe punishment and strict laws, it is usually difficult to strictly restrain them, after all, for small citizens, they will run when they can't stand the military law, and even blatantly gather crowds to resist, and the impact is even worse.

When the size of the team is large, after the expansion from a family-style army to a large group army or even a large corps, it does not matter if some small citizens are selected to serve as soldiers, because what is needed during this period is the number of soldiers and the scale, and in the large-scale army structure, the bad habits of small citizens will not become a climate, and will be forcibly transformed by the general environment of the army. To put it more simply, this is the same as ink and water, if there is less water, the ink will be dyed black as soon as it enters, and if the amount of water is too large, it will not be displayed if you drop a few inks into it, and it can even be purified. Obviously, in the early days of the establishment of the army, the scale must be small, and it is necessary to take the line of elite soldiers, in this case, the link of selecting troops is quite important, and in this era, the best soldiers are not necessarily the most educated, but should be the most obedient, such people, naturally poor peasants or landless people are the best.

It was with this in mind, and Li Yongji also read it, those more than 200 people were indeed a little slippery, and it had only been a few days, and stealing chickens and dogs had already happened from time to time, and many of them had passed the initial freshness, and they didn't pay much attention to the content of those history pamphlets, so they had to force it to go to the class.

Seeing that these people were in such a situation, Li Yongji also broke off the idea of making them the main force, and instead called them all as family security guards.

After making up his mind, Li Yongji used a stainless steel mechanical pocket watch in the city to exchange a large mansion covering an area of three acres with a rich man, and then stuffed these people into it and handed them over to Zhang Wei for training.

Anyway, this group of people will be Li Yongji's deterrent force in Qingpu County in the future, and it is estimated that there will not be many times when they will be used.

In addition to practicing in the city, Li Yongji obeyed Zhang Xinda's establishment and began to follow the path of collusion between officials and businessmen to gain the support of the government.

Specifically, Li Yongji invited Master Chen to a banquet with Wang Sanwu in the name of thanks, and during the banquet, Li Yongji secretly gave Master Chen a pair of exquisite stainless steel bracelets and stainless steel earrings.

Later, Li Yongji, accompanied by Master Chen, went to meet with Hezhi County in Qingpu County, and presented a set of stainless steel tableware on the spot, including four stainless steel bowls, four pairs of stainless steel chopsticks, four stainless steel spoons, and two stainless steel plates. These stainless steel products are polished and polished, and the workmanship is also good, shining under the light, and the whole body exudes a luxurious style, which immediately captured the heart of the county order.

He Zhixian is a native of Henan, or from a bitter background, he turned over after winning the imperial examination, and he used to be the magistrate of Baoshan County, so he didn't know anything, and he attached great importance to these belongings. That stainless steel product is not a bargain at first glance, in his own private estimate, if this thing is really as good as Li Yongji told Master Chen, the value is probably not less than two thousand taels of silver!

Giving a magistrate a county a thing of two thousand taels of silver at once, or a rare thing that money may not be able to buy, this is not an ordinary big deal, can send such a thing, and the request must be not small, I don't know if I dare to accept it, or whether I can meet the other party's requirements.

Sure enough, after sending the things, Li Yongji pretended to be too expensive to run a group exercise, and decided to start a small business in Qingpu County first to subsidize the cost of running a group practice. And for the convenience of doing business, he wanted the qualification of a county school, which is commonly known as a student, Xiucai, and finally talked about running a money village in Qingpu County, and asked the county magistrate to take care of one or two.

The so-called short-handedness, and I heard that Li Yongji's requirements are not high, but he just wants to be a student, and by the way, he can be taken care of when he is doing business, which is within his ability.

Thinking of this, He Zhixian, who was in a big mood, was very happy, and gave Li Yongji a guarantee on the spot, saying that the affairs of the students were the best to do, and if you said hello to the county school, just go back and ask Li Yongji to write a resume for him.

As for the problem of Qianzhuang, He Zhixian said that running a group training is a major event of the country, and it does cost a lot of money, and he should also do business subsidies if he wants to. And as long as his money bank opens, he will definitely be there to cut the ribbon to give Li Yongji enough face, and during his tenure, Li Yongji's money bank business in Qingpu County is exempt from any taxes, and he usually sends people to say hello to all kinds of people in the city to ensure that no one dares to trouble his money bank.

In this way, after such a private gift-giving, Li Yongji's goal has been achieved, with the support of the county magistrate, and there is a nearly 300 people here who are justifiably armed in the regimental training, he can finally gain a foothold in Qingpu County, and he can let go of his fists and feet!

What, in Qingpu County, what should I do if I raise my heart there?

Rest assured, Li Yongji will not give up that place, because that place has unique advantages and is the most ideal base for Li Yongji's second development and growth.

Yangxinju is not as prosperous as near Qingpu County, and it is very remote, but this is also the biggest advantage there, because it is remote, so it is private enough to carry out closed training.

There is no doubt that the current regimental training of 200 people is only temporary, and Li Yongji will eventually build an all-firearms unit, and under the current circumstances, if he uses an all-firearms unit, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention, and everyone will inevitably be very interested in the source of his firearms, which is not good for him today.

Therefore, if Li Yongji wants to use an all-firearms unit, he must let the firearms unit form sufficient combat effectiveness as soon as it appears, and only in this way can he resist the covetousness of the outside world.

In order for the firearms unit to form combat effectiveness as soon as it appears in front of the world, it is necessary to conduct long-term closed training in a secret environment in advance, and this place obviously cannot be selected outside the bustling Qingpu County, but can only be selected near the relatively secluded Yangxin residence.

In other words, Qingpu County is just a starting point for a foothold, and Yangxinju is the development point in the future, but in the end, these places are only temporary, and they are not places where Li Yongji will stay for a long time, because Li Yongji's goal is not to be a rich man in small Qingpu County.

The so-called how big the heart is, how big the world is, Zhang Xinda said well, since God gave you a chance to travel to the late Qing Dynasty, and also gave you a golden finger that can do smuggling transactions in time and space, it is clear that it is not for you to eat and wait for death.

Because there has been a saying since ancient times, if you don't take it, you will suffer from it!

Therefore, whether it is the so-called providence that may exist, or the awakening of Li Yongji's own inner ambition, Li Yongji will not allow himself to spend this life in a mess.
