Volume 7 The Fierce Battle Chapter 1 The Tranquility Before the Storm

"From August to October of the ninth year of Baoda, the whole world seemed to be unusually peaceful. When people who didn't know the truth were still lamenting that the world seemed to return to peace, they didn't know that a war that swept the world was brewing silently, and they were accumulating energy... This tranquility is like the tranquility before the storm."

,, Excerpted from "Book of Southern Tang? Major Events of Lin Feng" written by Shi Yan, a historian of the Southern Tang Dynasty

Almost at the same time, from late July, all parts of the world started with a small bustle, and then quickly fell into deep peace, just like a person yawning a big yawn, stretching his waist, and then completely fell asleep.

This is the case where there are three battles in the world.

In Chaozhou, the southernmost tip, the soldiers of the South Han Dynasty who had been surrounding Chaozhou City suddenly retreated in batches. Zhang Hansi, the former deputy commander of the Qingyuan Army of the Southern Tang Army, was a little unaware of the Southern Han Dynasty. He had to follow Lin Feng's instructions before leaving, firmly guard Chaozhou and the areas east of Hanjiang, and observe the progress of the battle.

In the Fuzhou area of ​​the Southern Tang Dynasty, after the Wu Yue army, who was fighting across the mountain with the Jianzhou Jiedushi and Shizhong Chen Hui, replaced some garrisons, with great fanfare, continued the previous turtle tactics, and still did not leave the camp, Chen Hui was even less anxious. He only led troops to train every day, as if the enemy on the other side did not exist.

In the Later Zhou Dynasty, Jiangzhou, Xizhou, Cizhou, Wang Yan and Han Lingkun organized two large-scale encirclements and suppression. The effect of killing the enemy was not very good, so he had to continue to encircle the mountains and clear the entire territory. The Tokyo City, which received the report on Wang Yan's military situation, did not care and ordered them to arrange the return of refugees from the former three states as soon as possible.

However, when refugees from all over the east bank of the Fen River quickly gathered and waited to cross the river, three river crossing ferries, which were originally few, were blown up one after another. Two camps suddenly exploded in the refugee camp. The huge sound made during the explosion shocked countless people. The rumors of "God punishing the people of the three states" quickly spread in the refugee camp. Except for a very few people who tried every means to cross the Fen River and return home, most people no longer dared to cross the river easily, and could only look across the river to look at their homes across the river. Although Wang Yan and Han Lingkun then strengthened the alertness of the Fen River and called on the people to return home with confidence, the overall project of attracting people to go home was stagnant.

The countries around the Southern Tang Dynasty even took the stance of "I can't afford to offend me."

During this period, the three countries of Later Zhou, Wu and Yue, and Southern Han basically no longer had official contacts with the Southern Tang, as if there had never been any disputes with each other, and the unhappiness was like grudges.

Because Chu State returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty, Nanping, which was already bordering the Southern Tang Dynasty in the west, still looked like a lie who "the world cannot do anything to me, and the world can be free and easy". He never paid attention to the vigorous "big guys" around him; Hou Shu, who went west, seemed to suddenly lose his enthusiasm for interacting with the Southern Tang Dynasty, continued to hide in the mountains and become unified, and went leisurely.

Even within the Southern Tang Dynasty, there was basically a situation where there was no power to be revived.

Because Emperor Li Jing and King Li Jing of Qi suddenly became a little absent-minded, the Southern Tang Dynasty was also controlled by a lazy atmosphere. Privy Councilor Feng Yansi and others intended to launch a new round of reforms led by their side, which quietly cooled down in the listlessness of the "big boss".

In Yangzhou, the eastern capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Dongdu Bank was established lively. Tang Hao, the remaining Dongdu, was considered the nominal president. Ma Yankuan and Zhang Renfang became two deputy presidents, claiming to be 8 million chunks of capital. At the same time, three silver buildings were built in the Dongdu City, and the businesses such as deposits were absorbed, lending, and mortgage loans were launched. Dongdu City was lively for two days and returned to peace. After all, these banks mainly serve the rich, and the rich are always minorities.

It seems that Shouzhou is the only place that continues to be lively in the world.

On August 9, the completion and opening of the supermarket caused a sensation in the city. All the people were crazy about supporting their own money trees. Lin Feng conducted pre-heating publicity in the "Shouzhou Business Daily" and specifically announced that those who spent more than three stagnant of money in the first three days will become members of the Shouzhou Supermarket and will always enjoy a 10% discount on marketing policy, which will turn the opening of the market into a crazy shopping festival in Shouzhou City.

Around this time, Shouzhou Academy of Sciences launched a low-key opening, and the bicycle factory, watch factory, coal briquette factory, toy factory opened, etc. The Shouzhou people who were used to seeing big scenes had a carnival after another. In the dock area in the north of the city, all kinds of big ships were coming and going, unloading all kinds of cargo and well-sealed sacks, which became a common scene for Shouzhou people every day.

Starting from August 10, Lin Feng suddenly sent all the staff of the three governments to vigorously promote the Mingxin Street cleaning management model throughout the city. Within three days, all street management organizations were established, all management representatives and supervision representatives were finalized, and they registered and registered. In private, these representatives received a top-secret task that was conveyed by words to each other. Lin Feng personally asked them to register all the shops, personnel and overall situations in their respective streets as soon as possible.

Although these newly appointed representatives were puzzled, they would never object to Lin Feng’s arrangements and were all busy secretly.

At this time, Lin Feng, after several days of private visits, found out the abandoned vacant houses and land in the city, and secretly asked someone to purchase part of the government office and wealthy businessmen, preparing to start a new plan.

On the morning of August 14, Lin Feng, who was busy in the governor's mansion, received a mysterious report from Feng Jingyun, and had to put down his work and rushed to the gatehouse of the governor's mansion.

When Lin Feng saw the three people standing in the doorman, he immediately understood why Feng Jingyun's lewd smile had just become unconcealed.

Liao Xianger, who was getting thinner and thin, was wearing a white dress and staring at Lin Feng intently. The crystal clearness in her eyes was constantly expanding. Behind her were two restrained elderly people. When she saw Lin Feng coming in, she immediately wanted to kneel down, but was pulled by Lin Feng and Liao Xianger at the same time.

While reaching out, Liao Xianger accidentally touched the back of Lin Feng's hand. Her face immediately turned red and said hurriedly: "Mr. Lin, please forgive Xianger for disturbing her. My parents came to Shouzhou for a few days. Before leaving, they insisted on thanking Lord Lin. We came without invitation. Please forgive me."

Lin Feng gave the two elderly people who were even more trepidated to their seats and said with a smile: "This is wrong. The two elderly people have trained Xiang'er so well and went to Shouzhou to help me with their business. It should be that I said thank you to the two elderly people."

Old Liao, who was excited, suddenly stood up, stretched his clothes with both hands, and replied incoherently: "Hello, Lord Lin, Xiang'er, we... you recruited Xiang'er and asked her to be the manager of the Weimiao Shop. Xiang'er has been better than many men now, and we are also very happy... happy."

Old Woman Liao next to him pulled his wife, and Shen blamed him for being unscrupulous.

"The old man's comment is so good. Xiang'er is indeed better than many men." Lin Feng laughed and took the teacup from Feng Jingyun and handed it to the two old men.

Liao Xianger stood there quietly, staring at Lin Feng without blinking, her face becoming redder and redder.

"Two old men, I heard that only Xiang'er is under your knees. Have you ever considered accompanying Xiang'er to settle down in Shouzhou?" Lin Feng looked at the two respectable old men and suddenly remembered his parents in his previous life, and his tone became softer.

"Our old man has been talking about this in Jinling City. We thought about applying for a job in the factory and also considered selling snacks in Shouzhou. We have also gone out to ask about it in the past two days, but it seems that the housing prices in Shouzhou are getting higher and higher, and rents are rising. We are afraid that we can't afford to live there even when we come." Old lady Liao said in a rough voice. Old Liao was startled and secretly pulled his old lady's clothes behind his back.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, then smiled and said, "Please rest assured, two old men. I am planning this matter. Within half a year, Lin will completely solve this matter. I suggest you come back next spring. You can guarantee that your family can live in a house."

Liao Xianger saw that Feng Jingyun had been poking her head at the door twice in a row. Although she was extremely reluctant, she had to stand up and Wan Fu said, "Mr. Lin, you are really busy with work. Xianger thanks for taking the time to chat with us. We dare not disturb us anymore. We say goodbye."

Lin Feng looked at Feng Jingyun at the door, shook his head and smiled, "The two old men rushed over from Jinling City. I have to accompany the two old men to have a meal. Let's go to the snack shop outside the mansion."
