Signing in during the Republic of China: Starting from a foot patrol

Chapter 197

A military show came down, although no one died except for the bandits.

However, the strong firepower displayed by the independent regiment under Lin Hongfei shocked the whole of Jiangdu County.

Even though this show has been over for many days, the streets and alleys of Jiangdu County and the fields at the head of the village are still talking about this matter.

And as people's discussion deepened, everyone's awe for Lin Hongfei also became deep-rooted.

The time and place are favorable with

the people and the people of Jiangdu County and are in Lin Hongfei's hands!

In a spacious and bright house, Lin Hongfei, Wu Yongquan, Guo Lang, Huo Yunshan, Chu Liangyi, Fu Tao, Jiang Haiyang, Ding Dehu, Ren Jiu and other henchmen and subordinates gathered.

This is the first time since Lin Hongfei occupied Jiangdu County that he brought everyone under his command together for a meeting to discuss a series of future work.

Unlike other county officials who are middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, Lin Hongfei and his team are young and terrifying, basically young people in their twenties.

Therefore, the members of his team immediately became the target of the big households in the county, like Ding Dehu, and within three days, eight large households sent matchmakers to come over to kiss.

Lin Hongfei did not obstruct much, in fact, the marriage of his subordinates with the local big families also helped him control Jiangdu County.

Of course, if there are local big families who vainly try to encroach on Lin Hongfei's power step by step through marriage. Then, Lin Hongfei will let them know what is called 'the county order that breaks the family and the prefect who destroys the door'!

In the room, Lin Hongfei glanced at everyone present, and then cleared his throat and said:

"Everyone is here, then let's get down to business!"

"Jiangdu County has already been taken, and we can be regarded as having a piece of our own territory in these chaotic years."

"Yesterday I checked it, and we have accumulated a lot of funds, grain and grass for us by receiving the property, land and other property left by the Ren family, the Liang family, the Zhang family and other big households."

"Moreover, the dock side can bring us a lot of input every month."

"Don't say it's an independent regiment of a thousand people, even if you raise two more regiments, it's not a problem."

"Therefore, I am ready to expand the troops, on the one hand, to select civilian children with clean families and good health in Jiangdu County."

"On the one hand, we continue to go to Hebei and Lu to recruit troops, and the specific requirements are still the same as last time."

"Yunshan, the matter of recruiting troops in Jiangdu County will be left to you, remember, rather lack than abuse!"

"Dehu, you returned to Jilu Province with Wu Qishan and recruited local children to join the army."

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

Huo Yunshan and Ding Dehu quickly got up and replied.

Lin Hongfei stretched out his hand to signal them to sit down, and then stretched out two fingers and said:

"The second thing, which is also more important, I found that more than half of the cultivated land in Jiangdu County is planted with big smoke."

"I can't be self-sufficient in food production every year, and I have to spend extra money to buy food outside."

"This can't work!"

"This is absolutely not okay!"

"Also, there are more tobacco houses in the county next to each other, more than restaurants."

"Especially yesterday, I personally saw the soldiers of two independent regiments slip out of the smoke hall and I arrested them!"

"Fortunately, after investigation, it was found that they were fooled by the owner of the tobacco shop and entered there for the first time."

"And after entering, because I was afraid of being punished, I quickly sneaked out without even touching the smoking gun."

"Whoosh!"

Speaking of this, Lin Hongfei couldn't help but pat the desktop:

"We must warn about this matter!"

"Others smoke big cigarettes, I don't care, I don't bother to care, but the people under me must not touch that thing, whoever touches it dies!"

"Moreover, in order to completely put an end to this matter, the next step is to decide to carry out anti-drug operations in Jiangdu County!"

Huo Yunshan is a local, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but speak: "County chief, there are many big households in the local area who are pointing to big cigarettes to earn money, if we ban smoking, they will definitely feel resentful."

Lin Hongfei snorted coldly: "Let them live, a bunch of rich people, reverse them!"

"Starting next week, gradually clear the opium fields in the county, and burn all poppy poppies, including seedlings and seeds!"

"In the future, no one will be allowed to grow opium in Jiangdu County!"

"And those tobacco stalls, Ren Jiu, you send someone to tell them, if anyone dares to call the people of the independent regiment again, I will step on the horse and use mortars to blow up their ancestral graves!"

"In addition, these smoke houses must also be gradually banned, and my territory cannot have such harmful things!"

At this time, Chu Liangyi also raised a question: "County magistrate, some ordinary people also point to planting big cigarettes to earn money to buy rations, if they also destroy theirs, then they will have no money to buy food."

Lin Hongfei had already made preparations: "This is good to say, I have calculated the money and grain compensation for them according to the output of opium raw materials per mu."

"At that time, settle them on the spot, so that they will not have any complaints."

"As for the person in charge of this..."

Lin Hongfei glanced at everyone present, and then said, "I'm ready to hand over to that Bai Wenju Bai Young Master!"

Wu Yongquan on the side couldn't help but smile and said, "Leave this kind of offending thing to him?"

"In this way, those big families will hate Young Master Bai even more, and you will have to send someone to protect him."

Lin Hongfei showed a hint of a smile: "The matter of smoking bans has always been his wish, and letting Young Master Bai do this will probably be more attentive and responsible than everyone present."

"I'm also a human being!"

After saying this, Lin Hongfei raised a third thing:

"The coal mine in Jiangdu County was originally controlled by Ren Anfu, and now its ownership has been owned by us."

"Coal is a good thing, and it is inseparable from it to open factories and run industries, which can be said to be our lifeblood."

"The reserves of Jiangdu Coal Mine are not low, and the quality of coal can also be, but Ren Anfu suspected that he spent too much money on purchasing mining equipment, and it has always been a way to use people to dig people and carry them."

"This can't work!"

"Some money can be saved, some money must be spent."

"Next, I plan to build the Jiangdu Coal Plant, purchase the latest mining equipment, and increase the output of the mine."

"Yongquan, this matter is more important, you can do it."

"I have already sent someone to Lu Province to deliver the letter, and it won't be long before Wayne will bring a few engineers to Jiangdu to investigate, and then you can just connect with them."

Wu Yongquan nodded: "Okay, don't worry, this matter is left to me!"

At this time, Lin Hongfei said: "Okay, today's meeting will be here first, and when it is over, I will advise you again."

"It is worth rejoicing that Jiangdu County has been conquered, but we must not be complacent and get carried away!"

"Jiangdu County, compared with the entire Lingnan Province, is a place with large sesame seeds."

"I hope that you will take a long-term view and don't be tempted by some small favors outside to do something you shouldn't do."

"All of you here, I regard you as my brothers."

"I hope you won't let me do anything to kill my fellow brothers!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately got up and said one after another:

"Don't worry, the county magistrate, we will definitely pay attention!"
