July of the twelfth year of Chong.

According to Lin Feng's deployment, the Zhenming Army temporarily stopped using troops externally and concentrated on consolidating the territory it occupied, striving to digest the results of the battle as soon as possible and enhance its ability to compete for world hegemony in the next step.

Lin Feng first discussed with Li Xiongzhen, Su Shunnian and others to recruit the chief officials of the newly occupied prefectures and counties, and held an official training class to speed up the training of qualified Zhenming officials.

Some of the officials in the current Zhenming system are Ming Dynasty officials who surrendered. As the Zhenming Army became more and more famous, especially with the continuous publication of the "Zhenming Xunbao", the Zhenming Army not only gained a high reputation in its own territory, but more and more officials came to join them from other areas of the Ming Dynasty.

The other part is the selection of Zhenming Army reserve officers organized every quarter, which still follows the original rules. Regardless of origin, those who pass the political background review can participate in the assessment.

However, whether they are officials who came to Ming Dynasty or people selected from the private sector, they must undergo one month of intensive training at the Zhenming Official School before they can be assigned to serve in states and counties.

Through such training, it is also ensured that the civil affairs officials arranged by the Zhenming Army can understand the governance requirements emphasized by Lin Feng.

Of course, concept training alone is not enough. As the territory of the Zhenming Army expanded, Lin Feng decided to separate the Supervision Office, which was originally affiliated with the Secretariat Department, and establish the Supervision Department, with Jing Xiaoyan as the head of the Supervision Department.

The subordinate agencies of the Governor-General's Office have also become five departments: the General Staff Department, the Government Affairs Council, the Secretarial Department, the Supervision Department, and the Intelligence Department.

Lin Feng personally serves as the general manager of the staff department, Wang Qin serves as the executive deputy general manager, and Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Heng serve as deputy general managers.

The Staff Department has three departments: the Operations Department, the Town and Defense Department, and the Logistics Department. The Operations Department is concurrently headed by Yang Heng, the Town and Town Department is headed by Fang Tiezhu, and the Logistics Department is headed by Zhao Zhixin.

In the Government Affairs Council, Li Xiongzhen was appointed as Prime Minister, Su Shunnian was appointed as Deputy Prime Minister and Director of the Department of Civil Affairs, Jiang Yin continued to be Director of the Department of Justice, and Hu Yanming was appointed Director of the Department of Construction.

The Secretarial Department is still headed by Lin Jiakang and Lin Wanyu as deputy director. It consists of the First Secretariat, the Second Secretariat, the Finance Department and the Confidential Department.

The Supervision Department is headed by Jing Xiaoyan and has several supervision offices under its jurisdiction, which are still under preparation.

The Intelligence Department is headed by Guo Zheng, with Ma Ang and Fang Qingshi as deputy directors respectively.

After further rationalizing the staff structure of the Government House, the operation of governance will become smoother and more efficient. In addition, several inspection teams were dispatched to supervise the implementation of policies and tax collection in various places, effectively supervising the increase in the revenue of the Governor's Office.

One morning, after breakfast, Lin Feng accompanied Feng Ziyi to the Women's and Children's Medical School next to Zhenming Mansion, which Lin Feng decided to set up on the day Feng Ziyi gave birth.

Feng Ziyi spent several thousand taels from the funds she had for the back house, bought a small yard next to the Hou Mansion, purchased some medical equipment, and recruited a group of stable women and young women to specialize in maternal childbirth and infant care. skills.

The storefront of the Gynecology and Pediatrics Medicine Hall is arranged as a place to receive patients. Behind it is a courtyard, with wards on both sides, and a row of houses at the back. One is a medical research room, one is a doctor's office, and one is a public room. pharmacy.

Lin Feng looked around with Feng Ziyi. It already looked like the prototype of a modern hospital, but it was much smaller in scale and did not have all kinds of modern examination equipment. Treatment mainly depended on the doctor's experience.

While Feng Ziyi took Lin Feng to visit the facilities of the medical hall, she also introduced that since its establishment, the medical hall has successfully rescued many cases of maternal dystocia and critical illness of infants and children, and saved many lives. The reception room in the foyer is full of people. The plaque sent has already been very influential in Jiazhou City.

Lin Feng fully affirmed the work done by everyone led by Feng Ziyi and provided some professional knowledge manuscripts. Feng Ziyi happily led several key members of her team to study it.

This woman, it seems, needs to find something to do. Otherwise, if she doesn't stare at her man all day long, what else can she do?

After leaving the medical hall, Lin Feng took a few guards and walked around the streets again. Jiazhou's business district was already very prosperous.

According to the concept proposed by Lin Feng, the commercial district was based on commercial complexes of later generations. Of course, it was impossible to build a closed commercial city, but an open oval shape. Divided into two circles, inside and outside.

In the middle is a small circular square, surrounded by a circle of shops, mainly various snack shops, wine shops, and restaurants.

The outer layer is a larger circle of shops. The passage about four to five meters wide is lined with shops on both sides. Shops owned by Zhenming Group such as Li's Cereals and Oils, Zhenming Trading, Zhenming Bank, Dachui Iron Art, etc., as well as inns and local specialties. Shops and other various shops.

There are four passages in the east, west, south and north respectively connecting the outward streets. The most popular shops such as brothels and gambling houses are usually located at the intersections of the passages.

The entire business district is bustling with traffic and people coming and going, making it very lively. The policemen dispatched by the security shop set up by the Jiazhou Prefecture in the commercial district come out to patrol from time to time, but they have no power to deal with commercial matters and can only manage public security issues such as fights and fights. This not only maintains the stability of the commercial district but also prevents harassment. Things like blackmailing stores.

The tax collectors sent by the government are responsible for collecting commercial taxes. The public security shop can supervise whether the tax collectors perform their duties correctly. If tax evasion is discovered, a reward can be obtained according to a certain proportion. Therefore, the tax collectors are very careful. Dare to bend the law for personal gain.

Lin Feng walked around and saw that everything was in order and the whole city was full of vitality. Especially the snack shops in the inner circle of the business district were full of fireworks. Lin Feng was excited to buy some snacks to taste. After a while. After Lin Feng inspected Jiazhou City, he had just returned to the Hou Mansion when Deng Hao from the Guards Brigade came over mysteriously and reported: "Master Hou, a very beautiful girl is here to see you. Do you know if she can see her?"

"What beautiful girl?" Lin Feng asked in confusion.

"It's Miss Li Qingqing from Taiyuan, who came here accompanied by Tingfeng Wei's brother."

"Oh, it's Miss Qingqing here, please come in quickly." Lin Feng was naturally happy when he heard that an old friend was visiting, especially a beautiful woman.

Soon, a woman with thick skin and a graceful figure, wearing a light yellow dress, walked in. Her eyes were like a pool of clear water. As she looked around, she had an elegant and noble temperament. .

It was Xiao Qingqing from Wanchun Tower in Taiyuan City.

Lin Feng stood up to greet her and said, "How come Miss Qingqing has time to come to my place?"

Xiao Qingqing gave a salute and said: "Master Hou, you must have forgotten about my little girl. In Taiyuan, you told the prince of the Jin Palace that I was yours. This word quickly spread throughout Taiyuan City, and then you ignored it. .

No one in Taiyuan dared to come to me as a little girl. Wanchunlou’s mother thought it was not cost-effective to raise me, so she sent me to Jiazhou. If the Marquis doesn't show mercy, Qingqing will have no choice but to live on the streets. "

As expected of a prostitute who came from a brothel, what she said was very embarrassing, coupled with Xiao Qingqing's unique charming expression, it made Lin Feng feel very distressed.

"How could it be? I said it last time. Miss Qingqing can come to Jiazhou to find me at any time. How can a girl with both talents like you not worry about it? It's just that there are too many things going on recently, and I can't take care of them. ." Lin Feng quickly explained.

"As long as the Marquis has not forgotten the little girl, Qingqing will be content."

"Qingqing, did you come here alone?"

"I came here with my maid Xia He. The shopkeeper of Sitong Express in Taiyuan City sent someone to escort us here." Xiao Qingqing replied.

"Then what will Qingqing do when she comes to Jiazhou?" Lin Feng asked.

"As long as you don't go to a brothel, everything depends on the Marquis."

"Of course I won't let Qingqing go to a brothel again, so where can I put my face, but I don't want you to just be a canary.

The business in Jiazhou is very developed now, but the cultural atmosphere is still a bit poor. I want to set up a place to perform songs, dramas, etc., so that the people can have a place to rest, but there will be no women to accompany them, let alone stay overnight. of. I wonder if Qingqing is interested? Lin Feng thought about the cultural theater of later generations and planned to enrich the cultural life of the people in Jiazhou City.

"What if someone wants to forcefully harass the performing girl?" Xiao Qingqing asked.

"Who dares to harass my Lin Feng property? I will send my personal guards to protect you then."

"That would be the best. I also like music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and especially playing the guzheng. If there is no stage, I would be a bit disappointed."

"Rushi of my family also likes it, and I will ask her to participate when the time comes. Let's work together to build a grand theater in Jiazhou." At this time, Lin Feng also thought that he must find something for the other ladies to do, otherwise he would not be able to do anything. There is a degree of freedom.

"Qingqing listens to the Marquis in everything."

"Qingqing, you work on this first. I'll buy you a yard to live in outside. When the time is right, I will marry you." Lin Feng promised.

"Yeah!" Xiao Qingqing agreed shyly.

Then Lin Feng called Lin Jiakang and asked him to arrange the residence of Xiao Qingqing's maid, and contact the Department of Civil Affairs to arrange the construction of the Grand Theater.

Of course, the Department of Civil Affairs is mainly responsible for site selection and coordination of related approval matters. Lin Feng will provide the funds himself to establish a Lin Performing Arts Theater, which will be wholly owned by himself. The profits from the future revenue will be used as pocket money for his wife.
