There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 38 Presiding over county government work
  Two days later, after the execution room worked overtime to sort out the files, Magistrate Zhang personally took the seized stolen money to the state government office to start his reporting trip. Sun Jiewu, the leader of the strong squad, led 10 government officials to follow and protect him.

However, if there are more people, the speed of the road will inevitably be affected. In addition, Zhang Da County Magistrate is not Lin Feng who can travel under the stars.

He was a dignified person in the county. Even if he was on the road, he couldn't skip meals, finding an inn to rest, etc., so the four to five day journey had to be a short ten-day journey.

Calculating that the round trip might take nearly a month, before Magistrate Zhang left, he convened a meeting of all county government officials and announced that Lin Feng would be temporarily in charge of county government affairs, which was later known as the presiding work.

Of course Lin Feng would not be polite. This was originally the authority of the county magistrate in the Ming Dynasty. When the chief official was absent, he could perform the duties of the county magistrate on his behalf.

Besides, without Magistrate Zhang, Lin Feng can completely make the decision on his own and vigorously promote what he wants to do. How can he let this opportunity go?

After County Magistrate Zhang left, the first place Lin Feng went to was the demolition and reconstruction project of the county town. This is the first people's livelihood project he has taken charge of, and it can be regarded as a political achievement project. If it is not done well, other projects will have no appeal.

When we arrived at the county farmers' market, the site was already fenced off. The business of buying and selling agricultural products was temporarily moved to the side streets, occupying the entrances of some shops.

Although the store owners were dissatisfied, the police officers patrolling the house all the time and vigorously promoted that this was a major event for the county. If anyone dared not cooperate with the reform, they would immediately be given a gift package of food, shelter and food in the county jail for 3-5 days. This No businessman dares to say no.

However, Lin Feng is not an unreasonable person. To win the support of the people for the renovation project, it must be deterred by violent institutions and guided by interests.

So he asked Gongfang to promise that for each merchant whose door was occupied, he would be compensated one penny a day for each storefront, three taels a month, and the compensation would be one cent a day.

After the first compensation payment was distributed, the merchants became extremely enthusiastic and tried their best to invite farmers to come to their doorsteps to operate. As for the previous protests that were too noisy and affected business, how could this happen? It doesn't matter whether we have money or not, the key is that we just like the excitement.

After the temporary business site of the farmers' market was settled, construction of the entire site began. The whole renovation is also very simple. The ground is leveled and then filled with gravel to prevent it from getting muddy everywhere when it rains.

Build a few more rows of thatched roof rain shelters and the market will be almost there. Then, a circle of shops was built along the perimeter of the market. Building a house in this era did not require digging for foundations. It was built quickly with blue bricks and wood.

The Nanxiang Li family also attaches great importance to the completion of this project. When they heard that Lin Feng was coming to check it out, the head of the Li family, Li Wanxiang, also rushed over in person.

"Master Li, you are moving very quickly. How long will it take to complete the project?" Lin Feng asked.

"The construction of this project is not complicated. The shops to be built are all on the first floor. We have hired a lot of helpers. It is estimated that it will be completed in more than half a month." Li Wanxiang replied.

"Very good, hurry up and try to get the county magistrate to host the opening ceremony when he comes back." Lin Feng thought about how to let Magistrate Zhang shine, so that he would have more motivation to support what he wanted to do.

"Understood, we must complete it as soon as possible."

"The construction schedule must be pushed forward, but the quality must also be ensured. This is a project that everyone in the county is looking at and using. We can't have people pointing fingers at us and scolding us."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, our Li family has always operated with integrity and paid attention to reputation. We will not do anything to destroy our own brand." Li Wanxiang said, patting his chest.

However, this is also true. In ancient times, most shops were locally operated and passed down for generations, so they still paid great attention to reputation.

After leaving the farmer's market renovation site, Lin Feng went to the Minzhuang Team camp.

Some time ago, Hufang had allocated 150 taels of special funds to the Minzhuang Team, so the abandoned county martial arts field was slightly renovated and looked less dilapidated.

At this time, Fang Tiezhu was leading the team members for training. Lin Feng checked and found that everyone's clothes were all kinds of, and they still wore whatever they wanted, but the knives in their hands were all new, and they should have been newly ordered from "Sledgehammer Iron Art".

Seeing Lin Feng come in, Fang Tiezhu immediately ran over.

"Sir, why are you free to come here today?" Fang Tiezhu asked first. "Let's take a look at your military training. How is everyone's morale currently?" Lin Feng asked.

"With the special care given by adults, everyone has enough food and sleep, and is very motivated to train troops. We also look forward to sending troops to fight bandits as soon as possible and avenge the Qiangzi brothers." Fang Tiezhu replied.

"Why are everyone's clothes in such a mess?"

"Hey, sir, aren't you busy now? Money is also tight. Everyone thinks clothes are not important, so they haven't had time to change."

"Although we are a civilian stronghold, our construction standards must be in line with those of the regular army. Don't underestimate the clothes, which are related to the cohesion and centripetal force of a group. Which army does not have uniforms? Hurry up and organize new styles. It must be unified to facilitate combat, and don't make it too fancy." Lin Feng attaches great importance to this formalization construction. If the clothes are not uniform, how can he give consistent orders in a war?

"Understood, I'll do it immediately, but this money?" Fang Tiezhu was very good at taking advantage of opportunities to ask for money.

"I'll apply for the money from the household, and I'll give you another hundred taels, and each of you can make two suits for people." After the Ding Mansion was raided, although most of the money was sent to the state government, the county government also kept 3000 taels. Two, there is no shortage of money now, so he said with wealth.

Then, Lin Feng asked the Minzhuang team to continue training, and asked Fang Tiezhu and the two squad leaders to have a meeting in the room to discuss the attack on Gaoliang Mountain.

There are two squad leaders. One is Fang Xiaoyu, who is also an Orion from Fangjia Village. He is very good at tracking and archery. He became the squad leader after he was very satisfactory in the assessment.

The other one was named Song Jilie, who was recruited from the refugees outside the city. He was a military household who had escaped from Liaodong all the way, and he was also very skilled.

Another one, Fang Xiaolin, who came from Fangjia Village, was a little less powerful, so he was not forced to be the squad leader. Instead, he followed Fang Tiezhu as a personal soldier.

"Tell me, how can I best deal with the gust of wind in Gaoliang Mountain?" Lin Feng asked.

"Sir, we have also been out for reconnaissance in the past few days. The terrain of Gaoliang Mountain is very dangerous, especially the location at the entrance of the village. It can be said that one man can block the barrier and ten thousand people can't get through it. It is difficult to storm in. I think it is difficult for us to rely on our people alone. It's still difficult to fight." Fang Xiaoyu was the first to say since he had gone to conduct on-site investigation.

"Sir, I think Xiaoyu is right. Hitting hard won't work." Fang Tiezhu also added.

"Sir, this is my opinion too. Besides, our numbers are still small and we don't have firearms. I'm afraid we won't be able to fight this battle." Song Jilie also continued.

"Very good, you must dare to express different opinions. War is not about treating guests to dinner, it is about killing people. You must be realistic and say what you mean, and don't blindly cater to the superior." Lin Feng took the opportunity to guide them.

"Best regards, sir!" Several people responded in unison.

"But any strong fortress has weaknesses. It depends on whether we can find them. Is there none in Gaoliang Mountain?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"There must be some shortcomings. Because of the dangerous terrain, the defense inside the Gaoliang Mountain village is very sparse. If you can sneak in, it will not be difficult to defeat the enemy." Fang Xiaoyu replied.

"In addition to the front gate, is it possible to climb up from the back mountain?"

"The mountain behind Gust Wind's village is a cliff. It's very difficult to climb up."

"It's difficult, which means it's not absolutely impossible. We can think of a way." Lin Feng finally said. He thought of the outdoor address survey box in the space. It contained high-strength ropes and fixed locks. It was very difficult for the ancients. If you use modern tools to drill a few holes in the stone and punch a few locks, you can probably climb up the cliff.

Therefore, Lin Feng asked Fang Tiezhu to find a dozen more skilled team members to start rock climbing training and prepare for a night attack on Gaoliang Mountain.
