Li Zhifang nodded again and again, he looked at Wang Heyao, his gaze became gentle.

This young man really surprised him.

He read poetry and books, and traveled north and south, but there was no such insightful young man.

He originally planned to give some silver taels and sent Wang Heyao and others, after all, the other party saved his baby daughter. Now that they have met, after a few words, he unconsciously has a heart of love.

Gao Jiaqin is arrogant and arrogant, what he recommends is by no means a wasted name.

"Anzhi, what are your plans now?"

Li Zhifang picked up the teacup and made a gesture of please.

After all, Wang Heyao is still his daughter's savior, and his guests have to get by in terms of face.

"My lord, it is better to be a centurion than a scholar. Shenzhou is slamming, the war is raging, the villain wants to serve the country in the army, make meritorious contributions, and live in vain! ”

Wang Heyao beat the snake with the stick and hurriedly expressed his ambition.

This is his chance, and he has to take it.

"Throw a pen from Rong, have ambition!"

Li Zhifang was full of smiles, and the wind and drizzle.

"Anzhi, the battle situation ahead is staggered, and the imperial court is the time to employ people, you might as well stay in the army, kill thieves for the country, and make meritorious contributions. What do you think? ”

Talents are rare, not to mention the favors of the river, you might as well push the boat along the river.

"Wang Helang dares not to listen to the orders of the adults!"

Wang Heyao's heart trembled and bowed.

Yao Qisheng, who is famous in history, may be artificially forced. In any case, Yao Qisheng doesn't need to look for it!

I just don't know, what official title will this Li Zhifang give him?

Wang Heyao wanted to ask, but he understood that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't even mention it.

In any case, he will be Li Zhifang's person in the future.

The depression in Li Zhifang's heart has dissipated a lot, and people have become much more relaxed. He was about to let Wang Heyao leave, his eyes swept to the open piece of music on the table, and his heart moved.

"Anzhi, Geng Jingzhong according to the Fujian incident, the imperial court edict, Fujian Province, the old and new money and grain, has been blessed with heaven, all exempted. What do you think? ”

Li Zhifang's words shocked Wang Heyao, and his heart immediately calculated.

Li Zhifang, as the governor of Zhejiang, the official of Xinjiang, and the local military and political power, asked Fujian to be exempted from taxes, obviously the drunkard's intention was in Zhejiang.

Zhejiang has been ravaged by war, and there is definitely no way to collect taxes. It seems that this is a game between Zhejiang and the Manchu court.

"My lord, Geng Jingzhong rebelled, levied taxes harshly, and levied extortions, but the people of Fujian still have land and real estate, and the people's families are probably intact. Zhejiang, on the other hand, is devastated by war, full of thorns, and the people are in dire straits and displaced. ”

Wang Heyao said softly, observing his words and looks.

"My lord, the life of the people of Fujian is better than that of the people of Zhejiang, and since Fujian's taxes can be exempted, Zhejiang should be even more responsible."

"Don't give in!"

Li Zhifang looked at Wang Heyao and laughed softly.

Geng Jingzhong conspired to rebel, imprisoned Fujian Governor Fan Chengmou and disobeyed, Fujian Governor Liu Bingzheng surrendered to thieves, Fujian's original imperial court military and government collapsed, and there was basically no war in the whole territory of Fujian.

It is an indisputable fact that Geng Jingzhong's three-way army went on the Northern Expedition, and the main battlefields were in Zhejiang and Jiangxi, and the people of Zhejiang suffered twice as much as the people of Fujian.

Since the whole province of Fujian has been exempted, why can't Zhejiang?

"My lord, the villain has something to report."

Li Zhifang picked up the teacup, and the conversation was about to end, Wang Heyao hurriedly seized the time to express his position.

Since it is already the other party's "dog", the posture must be lowered, and the position must be corrected.

"Anzhi, don't hide it, say it directly!"

Sure enough, Li Zhifang's attitude has not become as gentle as just now.

Of course, it's not as external as it was just now.

"Adults, villains, etc., although they were lucky enough to save the eldest lady, and the eldest lady invited them kindly, but the villains and others stayed in the house, I am afraid that it will cause rumors."

Wang Heyao looked at Li Zhifang cautiously.

"The villain has a righteous sister to follow, and she also came to Hangzhou. The villains and others charged, but the women were inconvenient in the army. The villain's righteous sister has fists and feet, fine spear stabbing skills, and can also ride horses, and has a good and pure temperament. Please allow the adults to stay with the eldest lady, so that the villains and others can go into battle without distractions and kill the enemy. ”

After all, Zheng Ning is a girl, and it is inconvenient to take it in the army, but it is safer to stay, and he is also relieved.

"You know the etiquette and the rules."

Li Zhifang nodded, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

This kid knows how to advance and retreat, and he is both civil and military, but he can temper it.

"All these things are due to you. The army will be drawn in a few days, and you will go to the Hangzhou Green Camp outside the city to temporarily take over the position of the general manager of the camp. Those brothers of yours, keep two generals, and the rest will serve in the army, and they will be promoted according to military merit in the future. ”

Li Zhifang is the governor of Zhejiang, a small Qianzong, and in wartime, he can still call the shots.

"Adult, villain has one more thing to ask for!"

Wang Heyao's heart beat before he continued to speak.

Sure enough, he took advantage of the situation, if he followed Yao Qisheng, I am afraid he would have to start from scratch.

This is really a fateful arrangement!

"Anzhi, what else do you have to do, just say it quickly!"

Li Zhifang frowned, already a little impatient.

He is busy with military affairs, and he has to work hard for everything, and it is impossible for him to be entangled with Wang Heyao.

"My lord, the Dalanshan Inspection Division, the villain has more than a dozen brothers, who are proficient in firearms, and they can be of great use. Please allow them to be transferred to the army to listen to the order, and share the worries of the adults! ”

Wang Heyao clasped his fists and saluted, respectfully.

"My lord, the villain has nothing else to do, please forgive me!"

Things are complicated, many things are thought of temporarily, and I know that it is a bit far-fetched, and there is no way.

Thin Monkey and Liu Wenshi left the Dalanshan Inspection Division one day earlier, and he felt a little more stable in his heart.

"Anzhi, you don't shy away from your relatives, you are dedicated to the country!"

Li Zhifang laughed. He likes such energetic young people who know how to advance and retreat.

In the city of Hangzhou, there are only 16 flag gunners in the whole city, and even if you add the green battalion, there are less than 50 people, and the good and the bad are mixed. Since Wang Heyao recommended his old subordinates, it was definitely not indiscriminate, which was also beneficial and harmless to the current war.

No one will harm their own interests for the sake of others.

"Anzhi, you report a list, I will instruct Steward Li in the house to let him do it quickly!"

Li Zhifang picked up the teacup. Wang Heyao hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and withdrew.

What seems to me to be a big thing is just insignificant and not worth mentioning to these superiors.

That's the beauty of power.

Opportunity!

How many opportunities have you had in your life, and how many times have you been wasted or inadvertently slipped through your fingers, causing you to regret your whole life?

Now the unavoidable opportunity was firmly grasped by him.

Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it is stepping forward from the beginning.

The road ahead, but the iron and blood are blended, and you have to step out step by step by yourself.

In the study, Li Zhifang was writing official documents, the door was pushed open, and Li Ruonan came in with a straight face.

"Why, I know that my father is going to go on the expedition, and I can't bear it?"

Li Zhifang glanced at her daughter and buried herself in writing the official document again.

"Dad, Wang Heyao is my life-saving benefactor, why did you give him a position as the head of Qian?"

Li Ruonan frowned and said stupidly.

"Ruonan, this is a military matter, don't mess around!"

Li Zhifang put down the pen, looked at her daughter, and said solemnly.

"Just this one thousand presidents, I still have to write an excerpt to Prince Kang to plead. If I give him a counselor directly, others will think that I am bending the law for personal gain and treating him badly. It's not easy to get promoted, just make some military achievements! ”

He pointed to the official document on the table and smiled.

"Ruonan, if you don't believe it, take a look, this is an official document from my father to Wang Heyao and others asking for officials, do you want to take a look?"

"Forget it, I have a headache when I look at the official document!"

Li Ruonan waved his hand and blurted out.

"Dad is the governor of Zhejiang, can't even a small chief soldier and deputy chief soldier decide?"

"The little chief soldier, deputy chief soldier? Do you think your father is Prince Kang and General Ninghai? ”

Li Zhifang's old face turned red and he smiled dumbly.

Even in terms of the military rank of the Qing army in Hangzhou, in addition to the three princes and ministers of Prince Kang Jieshu, Ninghai General Fu Lata, and Hangzhou General Lahada, he can only rank fourth. If you add the restraints that cannot be offended, his real power is estimated to be more than 10.

Those big and small flag officers and flag generals, which one is easy to mess with.

But if it is about being a cow and a horse, he, the governor of Zhejiang, and the Zhejiang Green Camp under him, are all the best and the best.

"Dad, Wang Heyao and his brothers are all warriors, why don't you take him with you, wouldn't this protect you and make meritorious contributions faster?"

Seeing that his father was silent, Li Ruonan asked again.

Only on the battlefield can you make meritorious achievements, stay in the rear, what's the matter?

"You're such a child, you don't understand anything!"

Li Zhifang laughed and said patiently:

"Wang Heyao is a talent, but after all, he has never fought in battle, let him go directly to the battlefield, wouldn't he let him go to death?"

Li Ruonan suddenly realized and nodded involuntarily.

Her father thought that Wang Heyao was a talent, which had already overjoyed her.

"Listen to Li Shou, you spent sixty or seventy taels of silver yesterday?"

Li Zhifang picked up the pen to write, and suddenly paused.

"The life-saving benefactors are here, you don't say anything about it, I have to figure it out on my own. There are seven of them, each with two sets of clothes, which is not excessive. ”

At the mention of the gift, Li Ruonan became happy, she stood up, and it seemed that she was about to leave.

"Ruonan, since it's okay for you to stay in Hangzhou, go to Jiangning to see Fushan. Anyway, he's also your fiancé. When the war in Zhejiang calms down a little, the two of you can get married quickly. ”

Li Zhifang looked at her daughter, remembered something, and frowned slightly.

If it weren't for the war in the southeast, my daughter and Fushan would probably have been married.

If it is really as Wang Heyao said, this war will last for about 10 years, and the daughter will not be able to get married until twenty-six or seventeen.

That's an old girl!

When I arrived in Quzhou, I still discussed with Fu Lata to let my daughter marry Fushan as soon as possible.

"Got it, Dad."

Li Ruonan replied listlessly and suddenly spoke.

"Dad, if I go to Jiangning, I will have to spend a lot of silver. Keep me some more silver, and I'll be prepared!" ”

"It's good! I just received something during the festival, you go to find Li Shou yourself......"

Halfway through Li Zhifang's words, Li Ruonan had already hurried out.

"The big girl doesn't stay! This ghost girl! ”

Li Zhifang shook his head, thinking of the military in southern Zhejiang, and couldn't help frowning again.
