Chapter 102 Three strange facts
Starting from July 16, Lin Feng began to receive "three practical things" opinions from various counties and Shouzhou City. Feng Feng browsed these every day and always had four-word comments about "all kinds of strange and strange" in his mind.
Half of the opinions sent by the people in Shouzhou were the same as those of Mr. Zhou from Mingxin Street, who wanted to send people to clean the streets for a long time and maintain hygiene. As for the others, some of them asked Lin Feng to come forward to resolve their homestead disputes with their neighbors and report some minor matters that the neighbors did not trust, and the big ones were just mentioning that they hoped to be exempted from all kinds of taxes forever, which made Lin Feng sigh in his heart that even if these people gave them the right to manage independently, they still did not have the ideological consciousness and ideological awareness of self-management.
Among Rushan’s opinions, only two made Lin Feng’s eyes shine.
The author of the first letter is Chen Yanxing. The author is probably an old tutor. He argued in a scattered manner that Shouzhou has had a strong learning atmosphere since ancient times, but it has been passed down from time to time. Now Shouzhou is not strong in its academic style and is difficult to find. There are many out of school among the people. I hope that the governor's office can imitate the operation model of the Junior Military Academy to promote charity studies in various places, and reproduce the prosperous scene of Shouzhou's former academic prosperity in Chu Capital. Lin Feng made a key note on the letter of opinion and put it aside.
Another letter was written by a villager named Zhang Xiong. He pointed out in his opinion letter that inferring from the historical development trend and combining everything Lin Feng did after coming to Shouzhou, he believed that Shouzhou might be the center of the war with the northern Zhou Kingdom in the future. Now, Lin Feng strengthened the special forces, the former garrison of Shouzhou and the township soldiers in three levels, which were already very comprehensive. However, if there were no large number of foreign reinforcements after the war began, such troops alone would not be enough to stop the north. In a word, there were too few soldiers. Zhang Xiong suggested that Lin Feng mobilize the whole city and the people in the whole territory so that everyone could pick up a knife to kill the enemy. At the same time, it was recommended that Lin Feng establish a cascaded defensive position from now on, starting from the south bank of the Huai River, and carry out a defensive transformation of Shouzhou City to defeat the enemy step by step to ensure that Shouzhou can block the enemy's thunder strike.
Lin Feng was very impressed by this person's strategic and tactical vision, and specially invited Sima Zhao Zanting to investigate the person in private. Soon, Zhao Zanting came to report that Zhang Xiong is 37 years old and is currently taking his three eldest sons to participate in the training of the village soldiers. Their four are very strong and are very serious in training. Zhang Xiong was extremely brave in the simulation training.
Lin Feng sighed with his hands and wrote a short letter to Cheng Yuehai, who was in charge of the village soldiers, asking him to focus on cultivating Zhang Xiong and his son.
However, what Lin Feng didn't know was that Zhang Xiong was also a person who left his name in history.
In the original history, four years later, when Chai Rong, the Later Zhou Dynasty, sent a large army to invade Huainan, the people formed troops to resist the Zhou army and called themselves the rebel army. Zhang Xiong led the troops to the greatest contribution, and Li Jing, the Yuanzong of Southern Tang Dynasty, appointed him as the leader of the rebel army.
When the Southern Tang Dynasty was defeated, he ceded land and paid compensation, and moved the capital to the capital. Zhang Xiong was once the governor of Yuanzhou and Tingzhou. Later, when Li Yu was in charge of the rule, Zhang Xiong was promoted to the commander of the army. Facing a strong enemy, Zhang Xiong told his sons: "I will die in the national crisis. If you don't follow me, it's not loyalty and filial piety." His sons cried and took the order and fought against the Later Zhou general Tian Qinzuo in Lishui. In this battle, the other generals fled, and more than 10,000 soldiers died. However, Zhang Xiong fought hard with his children, and all died on the battlefield. In the end, none of the eight fathers and sons of the Zhang family survived. However, at that time, Jinling City of the Southern Tang Dynasty was besieged and the country was in danger. Li Yu did not have the time to reward them, but their deeds moved the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the people of the country were mourning.
During this period, Lin Feng also focused on the letters from the Anfeng, Huoqiu and Huoshan counties under Shouzhou. The leaders of these counties seemed to have discussed in advance and proposed three practical things: building farmland water conservancy facilities, establishing welfare homes, and repairing dangerous houses in the city, which made Lin Feng unable to help but suspect that they had secretly connected with each other.
Every two days, Lin Feng would make time to call Lu Jiang and Wu Qiao to help summarize and organize the opinions of the people, submit major events to the three governments for discussion, and prepare reply opinions directly for minor issues. After sorting out the results in different categories, all the opinions and replies that are suitable for publication will be printed on the Shouzhou Business Daily and made public.
On the evening of July 20, when Lin Feng handed over the sorted content to Wu Qiao for publication, Wu Qiao, who was temporarily appointed by Lin Feng as the "Editor-in-Chief of Shouzhou Business Daily, looked at the content and said with some confusion: "Mr. Lin, are these contents suitable for public announcement?"
Lin Feng said strangely: "What contents are not suitable for?"
Wu Qiao lit the paper twice and said softly: "Do you have to go to the newspaper if you clean the streets?"
Lin Feng shook his head and pointed at Wu Qiao and said, "You are completely wrong. Cleaning the streets will be an extremely important thing in our Shouzhou. The key to these changes we initiated in Shouzhou is to abide by the rules, be clean, and abide by the rules. We have a credit book and a reputational special edition of "Shouzhou Business Daily". Cleaning must start by sweeping the streets."
These are by no means Lin Feng's invention, but rather copying the practices of Comrade Chiang's "New Life Movement" during the Republic of China period.
In 1934, Chiang Kai-shek launched a new life movement in Nanchang, "to eliminate the habits of our people who are not in line with the times and the environment, and to tend to live in line with the times and the environment." The biggest purpose is to "to be in line with the food, clothing, housing and transportation in accordance with etiquette, righteousness, integrity and shame, and to use six principles such as neat, clean, simple, simple, rapid, and indeed to cultivate the militarization of life (indomitable), production (devotional), and rationalization (dear sincere)."
It has to be said that this new life movement is a long-term layout that subtly changes the habits of the Chinese people. Unfortunately, Comrade Chiang's energy was then pulled aside by the in full swing of bandit suppression. Three years later, the country encountered the Japanese invasion, and the new life movement was soon abandoned, which is indeed a great regret in China's development history.
Wu Qiao was still a little confused: "Can such a small thing play such a big role?"
Lin Feng explained patiently: "The most difficult thing to change a person's mind is. We can only follow the steps, start with details, start with small things, start from the outside, and finally to the heart. If the streets are clean, some people will feel that their homes are too dirty, and later, some people will feel that their body is too dirty. Later, some people will gradually feel that their living habits are too bad, and some people will slowly exercise their bodies to make themselves stronger, and finally achieve the goal of strengthening the body and spirit of the people."
Lu Jiang smiled and beat Wu Qiao, reminding him: "Brother, you don't know that Lord Lin's layout on the street cleaning is much more than that. Maybe one day, the changes in the entire country will start from this street cleaning. You can do it directly as Lord Lin's instructions."
Lin Feng knew that Lu Jiang pointed out that Xinjie was the independent management and promoting street cleaning. He did not point it out and smiled without saying a word.
Wu Qiao shook her head embarrassedly and continued to ask: "Will the opinions on Yixue also be published? Will some people say that we are accusing Shouzhou, and even our Tang Dynasty did not attach importance to education before, for fear that they would take the opportunity to slander us and maliciously attack our colleagues?"
Lin Feng shook his head very much and shouted with regret: "My brother Wu, how can you achieve perfection in doing things? You have forgotten the purpose of establishing the Shouzhou Business Daily, "Objective and fair". I would like to remember that you must keep your mind in everything, that is, you must be neutral, write whatever history is, and write what reality is, and finally achieve what Sima Qian said, "It is not false and beautiful, and it is not hidden evil." This is Sima Qian's view on how to record history, which was borrowed by Lin Feng.
