After listening to his speech, Zhao Xiong did not immediately agree, if this step was right, their Zhao clan would not be able to fall for decades.

If you make a mistake, then disband the militia and retreat back to the nest.

If this business is done well, it is the road to promotion and wealth.

However, when you go back, you still need to ask the big shopkeeper, and then discuss it with the Zhao family patriarch.

Although Lao Zhao Tong was angry about not being the patriarch, he had never returned to the old mansion in the past ten years, except for worshipping his ancestors.

The patriarch of the Zhao family was also silent and also canceled Zhao Tong's qualification to build a new school in Taierzhuang, which greatly deepened the estrangement between the old Zhao Tong and the family.

In the three years of his filial piety, he has never been to the old mansion of the Zhao family in Yi County, and it seems that he has to go because of this incident.

Zhao Xiong asked: "Brother Lide, you are a veteran of the army, what do you say!" ”

Mr. Zhang looked at Zhao Xiong and said in his heart, I am waiting for you.

"There is one way to do this, when the time comes, there will be hundreds of families in Hanzhuang, and each family will have to have people, and if they can't get people, they will take money, and we will hire people from other places.

Even if you are out of the house, you have to bring your own dry food and hand it over to the man to cook! Zhang Jiang said proudly.

", these officials, scraping the common people, not only let the family pay for the silver and food, but also for the people's lives, this is really high!"

Mr. Zhang saw that Zhao Xiongzheng was thoughtful, so he proudly continued:

"Once those gentry and businessmen join the militia and fight with the bandits, they will inevitably have three strengths and two weaknesses, and they must not be quite willing.

So the best thing to do is to give out the money.

They have silver for that, and they won't care.

However, some families will ask for an official position in the militia group, and their children are not allowed to quit the militia casually! ”

Zhao Xiong said: "You look down on those rich sons too much, where can they endure this hardship!" ”

After all, Mr. Zhang was born in the army and said fiercely: "You can't endure hardship, right?"

Okay, then don't let you suffer.

But since it is a military army, there must be military regulations.

If you violate military regulations, you will be punished by 17 prohibitions and 54 beheadings!

Those who don't want to be subject to military regulations can also be fined.

Nominally, these fines can serve as military expenses. ”

Zhao Xiong couldn't help but admire when he saw that Mr. Zhang had said everything like this.

In fact, Zhang Jiang always wants to make money, but he just changed his ways.

"The money of the fine is used as military expenses!

You got it!

Hey, hey".

Mr. Zhang saw Zhao Xiong laughing, and he laughed too.

The more the two of them talked, the hotter they became, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became.

Zhao Xiong said: "Lord Zhang, if you don't become a businessman, you will lose money, so tell me how much money you should pay if the rich families in Yi County don't come out?" ”

Zhang Jiang always came prepared, opened his mouth and said: "Xiongye, this is not what I said, nor what you said was calculated."

The county lord makes a roster and recruits a regiment, and the roster needs a pair of armor and weapons!

Of course, the regiment also had to be paid.

In the end, in case this regiment is wounded or even killed, of course, the county magistrate does not need to pay all the expenses, but he must bear a part of it.

In this way, it is clear how much money a person has. ”

Zhao Xiong's eyes lit up: "Isn't that going to cost more than 20 taels of silver?" ”

Mr. Zhang said with a smile: "20 taels is not much, I estimate that I have to spend 30 taels a year!" ”

When he saw Brother Zhao's silence, he continued:

"Too much? It's very simple, let their sons come out to be strong men, don't hire others, we don't want them to come out one or two, you see if they are happy or not!

Zhao Xiong said: "I've probably calculated, then the newly formed militia group in Hanzhuang alone will cost more than 10,000 taels of silver." ”

"But is ten thousand taels a lot?

Our county master set up a militia group in the city, and if he didn't get a hundred thousand taels of silver, he just didn't become famous! ”

Mr. Zhang preached.

Zhao Xiong was taken aback, hundreds of thousands of taels?

The 50,000 stone of grain that Lao Tzu got yesterday was worth about 30,000 or 40,000 silver, and he was still frightened, and he might have to spit out some of it.

nnd, the county master, has a really big appetite! ”

Mr. Zhang took the tea handed over by Zhao Xiong with both hands and said, "How about it, big brother, we just divided a little bit, and the people above won't blame it!" ”

At this time, Zhang is already self-cooked!

looked at Zhao Xiong, didn't even shout Xiong Ye in his mouth, and came directly to a big brother.

Mr. Zhang took a sip of the rich red robe, felt very comfortable and said:

"What kind of place is our Yi County?

It was the Grand Canal, one of the richest places in the world.

We don't have many other things here, that is, there are many rich businessmen, Yang Shuangyin doesn't trouble them, but there is a Master Dong who will go to them, hehe! ”

Zhao Xiong put down the teacup and said, "I didn't expect that there are still these famous halls here, Brother Lide, I have been taught!" ”

Zhang Jiang always heard Zhao Xiong shouting his words and hurriedly said:

"If it is established, Han Zhuang Mintuan, I will definitely take the male master as the leader, can the male master give the next 100 places?

Of course, I can still pull out the town with 50 flood soldiers under my command! ”

Zhao Xiong, who was always looking at Zhao Xiong with hope, saw Zhao Xiong looking at him with a smile, Zhang Zhuang gritted his teeth and said: 80.

70 pcs.

60, no less! ”

At this time, Zhang said with a sad face.

"So be it! There are a total of 500 places, and I will give you half of them, and the head of the militia is made by you, Brother Lide, how about I be your supervisor? ”

"Ahh

Mr. Zhang's eyes widened, and half of it was given to him, which was 250 places, which would be close to 10,000 silver income!

Zhao Xiong continued to preach in the language of temptation: "How much silver can the imperial court allocate to you in a year? And you, if I master this militia group, it will be equivalent to jamming the neck of Han Zhuang and the rich businessman.

Let's change the term to collect protection fees, public security and health fees, and everyone will create a better life! Ha ha! ”

Mr. Zhang suddenly looked at the male master in front of him suspiciously, as if he didn't know him.

Zhao Xiong saw that Mr. Zhang was looking at him like this, and sighed in his heart and said:

"Brother Lide, I definitely can't do it, the head of the militia group!

If you are not willing to do it, you have to ask the county master to assign it, and when the time comes, everything will be difficult to say! ”

Zhang stunned his eyes for a while, and then simply closed his eyes.

Zhao Xiong could see his inner struggle from his face, and sighed in his heart:

"O human heart!

Since ancient times, this has been the case.

It can be seen that this Zhang has always made a wishful thinking a few days ago, and he wants to put the former Leng Touqing on the bright side, and he is hiding behind.

Neither shows the mountain, nor does it dew, but it also gets benefits, it is indeed a personal essence! ”

Zhao Xiong leisurely drank tea and waited for Mr. Zhang's decision.

At this moment, Zhao Xiong actually has a big plan in his heart.

He had to take precautions, and becoming the leader of the militia not only protected himself, but also his family.

As a man of the future, although history has changed from more than 100 years, he knows that in 1840 there may have been a crackdown on land power by sea power.
