Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

As soon as the maid left, Lin Zhe tapped his fingers on the desk, silently thinking in his mind. Now all the plans were going smoothly. As soon as the money and food arrived, he would immediately take the people to the valley to hide.

Not long after, Vice General Zhou hurried over and saluted, "Second Young Master, what do you want from me?"

Lin Zhe turned around and stared at Vice General Zhou for a while, then told him about his father's defeat and escape.

When Vice General Zhou heard this, he immediately fell to his knees on the ground with his legs weak and said with a look of disbelief: "How is this possible! Second Young Master, is this news true?"

Lin Zhe asked: "Cousin, do you think I would joke about this kind of thing?"

It turns out that this week's deputy general is Lin Zhe's cousin, and his mother is Lin Zhe's mother's biological sister.

When Vice General Zhou heard Lin Zhedu call him his cousin, he confirmed that this was indeed true.

Because the matter is not very serious, the second young master will not call him cousin easily.

He said anxiously: "Cousin, what should we do about this matter? How about we withdraw as soon as possible, otherwise the new emperor's people will definitely attack here soon."

Lin Zhe stood up, walked around the desk and came to Vice General Zhou. He also bent down to help Vice General Zhou up, pressed him on his seat, and whispered in his ear.

"Don't worry, cousin, I have already arranged the matter. Now all I need is you to gather one or two thousand brothers, not too many, just loyal and elite ones.

As soon as the money and food arrive, we will leave immediately. I have arranged the route. When the time comes, we will hide and wait for our father to send someone to pick us up. "

Vice General Zhou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with some uncertainty: "Cousin, will King Zhao come to pick us up again?"

Lin Zhe's eyes flickered, but he still said firmly: "Even if my father doesn't want me as his son, he will not give up money and food. He will definitely find a way to recruit troops and buy horses to make a comeback."

Lin Zhe didn't know whether he was comforting Vice General Zhou or himself with his words. He actually still held a trace of luck in his heart. Looking at so much food and money, his father should also come to save him, right?

"Then my parents are still in Anzhou, what should I do? Are they in danger?" Vice General Zhou asked worriedly.

Lin Zhe comforted him with a calm tone: "My mother-in-law sent two secret guards to protect my uncle and aunt. If there is danger, the secret guards will take my uncle and aunt away immediately.

Cousin, there is no need to worry, right now we have to save our own lives first. "

When Vice General Zhou heard this, he remembered that his parents were indeed protected by secret guards, and he felt relieved.

He nodded and said: "Okay, I will listen to my cousin in everything. I will do whatever my cousin tells me to do. I will go find the brothers who are loyal to the second young master."

After saying that, he was about to stand up but was held down by Lin Zhe. "Cousin, this time you have to wipe the highlights on your eyes and cover your mouth more tightly. Don't tell them these things yet, just say that they are escorting food to support my father.

Wait until you reach a safe destination before telling the truth, remember! Before we reached a safe place, we brothers had this matter in our stomachs, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get out of this Shinshu city. "

After all, Vice General Zhou was also a general, so he naturally knew the seriousness of the matter.

He nodded firmly again, "Cousin, don't worry. Our lives have been tied together for a long time. If it's not easy for you, it won't be easy for me either."

Lin Zhe felt satisfied upon hearing this, and naturally relaxed his hand on Vice General Zhou's shoulder. "Thank you for your hard work, cousin. I'll set off as soon as the time comes."

After Vice General Zhou went out, Lin Zhe called Yu Xiao in and told him to pack his luggage.

Yu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt down when he realized what he was doing. He said anxiously, "Second Young Master, if I do something wrong, you can just beat me and scold me, but don't drive me away.

Those newcomers don't understand the Second Young Master's preferences, and they will definitely not be able to serve you well. "

"When will I drive you away? It's just that for this escort mission, we both have to go together."

Facing this slave he had followed since childhood, Lin Zhe was still a little worried. Because people were unpredictable when a disaster was approaching, he did not tell the truth.

Yu Xiao was relieved when he heard this, as long as he wasn't driven away. Just as he retreated to the door, a boy hurried over.

When Yu Xiao asked, she found out that the food was delivered to her door by wealthy businessmen.

Yu Xiao hurriedly returned to Lin Zhe and reported in a low voice: "Second Young Master, the wealthy businessmen have sent food and money, and they are waiting outside the house now."

As soon as Lin Zhe heard this, he immediately came out of the house to greet him and asked Yu Xiao to ask the accounting office to get ready.

As soon as Lin Zhe stepped out of the house, he saw several trucks loaded with food parked at the door. Next to the first few carriages were several wealthy businessmen in rich clothes, with fawning smiles on their faces.

Lin Zhe stepped forward and politely said: "Bosses, thank you for your hard work. I didn't expect you to deliver the things so quickly."

The wealthy businessmen all showed standard smiles and responded humbly: "Second Young Master, your words are serious. These are what we should do. We are all happy to contribute to King Zhao's hegemony."

Lin Zhe smiled slightly and raised his hand to invite the wealthy businessmen into the house to drink tea. As for the grain trucks, there were naturally stewards responsible for them.

As soon as the wealthy businessmen entered the main room, they took out a stack of silver notes from their arms, then handed them to Lin Zhe one by one and stated the amount of money they gave.

The accounting steward standing next to Lin Zhe took the banknotes, counted them in public and made records.

In the end, the six wealthy businessmen only managed to collect one hundred thousand taels of silver. Lin Zhe frowned slightly. In fact, he was not satisfied with the result, but he thought that it was not easy to do anything with the recent natural disasters.

Since time was urgent now, he didn't say anything. Now he can only place his hope on the Zheng family.

The wealthy businessmen looked at Lin Zhe and frowned slightly without saying a word. They all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

To be honest, if I take out this money, all the women in the family will be crying, making trouble, and hanging themselves.

After sending off the wealthy businessmen, Lin Zhe called the steward in charge of registering the grain and asked the steward how much grain the wealthy businessmen had sent.

The steward respectfully replied: "To the second young master, the flour and rice are 1,500 kilograms each."

Lin Zhe finally figured it out. Those wealthy businessmen must have negotiated this, but they knew there was nothing they could do, so he ordered the stewards to load the food into the car.

It was almost midnight, and when the Zheng family's carriage arrived at the magistrate's residence, Lin Zhe, who had almost withered the flowers waiting for it, learned that the Zheng family's grain cart had arrived and immediately came out to welcome it.

When he saw Zheng Feng riding a tall horse followed by dozens of trucks of grain and mahogany boxes, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
