After cheering, Chu Feng was not in the mood and continued to talk about the development path.
Even if he understands it, talking is in vain. When the time comes, just make the arrangements yourself, no one will object!
However, standing on the roof and enjoying the praise, Chu Feng was still very satisfied. He jumped off the roof, took Shuang'er and Niushan with him, and headed straight to Shanglin County.
When we returned to Shanglin County, we happened to catch up with Yue'er and the others who were preparing to have lunch, so they received a warm welcome. Yue'er, Xue'er, and Ling'er each gave Chu Feng a pre-dinner dessert, which was to hug and kiss their little mouths.
However, Niushan was taken outside by his servant Chu Sanan to have dinner with the servants.
After dinner, Chu Feng arranged for Zhang to post the recruitment notice at the yamen gate and several important alleys.
Zhang Captou took the notice and read it several times before saying, "Sir, this notice cannot be posted. The salary is too generous. When the time comes, people will come in droves and there will be no way to stop them. There will be chaos."
Chu Feng thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the truth. He still lacked experience. He just thought that by giving more money, the people would be able to dig coal for him with peace of mind and live a good life.
This is a bit wishful thinking. This time, Capt. Zhang really made a good suggestion.
So, Chu Feng took back the notice and prepared to go back to the study to consider it again.
Unexpectedly, an old friend came. He was actually carrying large and small bags of luggage and leading a donkey. Obviously he was planning to defect to Chu Feng.
"Xiang Wendong, courtesy name Bowen, haha, you have a good sister, right? But why are you here?"
Chu Feng recognized this sharp-tongued guy at a glance, and even called out his name.
Back in Zuixianglou, this guy showed his loyalty to him and praised him very much. I didn't expect that this kid actually found him.
"Bo Wen naturally came to seek refuge with Mr. Chu Xiaohou. I heard that Mr. Chu Xiaohou was appointed as the magistrate of Shanglin County. Bowen naturally wanted to come to serve as a master for the Chu County Magistrate, run errands, write documents and so on. Chu County Magistrate You don’t dislike blog posts, do you?”
Xiang Wendong's refined manner at this time really sounded a bit like a master.
"Haha, okay, this county magistrate really lacks a master. Then I'll give in to you. However, you must have some skills and don't just flatter me."
Chu Feng said with a big smile.
"Thank you Master Chu for the important task. From now on, Bowen will be Master Chu's pawn. I will follow you to the death. And Bowen can boldly say that Bowen is still capable of being a master."
Xiang Wendong said and knelt down on one knee for Chu Feng.
"Ah, you don't have to be so polite in the future. I don't like these red tapes."
Chu Feng said, pulling Xiang Wendong, also known as Xiang Bowen, up, and asked Yue'er to arrange a residence for him in the county government office.
What Chu Feng didn't expect was that this thick-skinned guy who was extremely good at flattering people would actually be really good at management!
When Chu Feng told him his plan to let the people dig up the black soil.
His first suggestion was to make a detailed registration of the current population of the county. Look at how many strong laborers there are in Shanglin County, how many semi-laborers there are, as well as how many elderly people and children there are. Only in this way can the work be arranged with a goal, rather than doing it in a swarm of swarms.
Chu Feng was immediately impressed. This guy was good. At least he was more thoughtful than himself.
Xiang Wendong’s second suggestion is to choose multiple locations for digging black soil, which should be far apart. Otherwise, if there are too many people, it will not only be chaotic, but also prone to conflicts and even armed fights!
In the end, Xiang Wendong made seven or eight suggestions, and even put forward the manpower to maintain order.
Chu Feng even patted his shoulder and praised him. This sharp-tongued boy is also a talent.
Therefore, Chu Feng followed Xiang Wendong's suggestion and asked Zhang Baotou to lead the government officials to cooperate with Xiang Wendong in registering and classifying the people.
What Chu Feng didn't expect was that Xiang Wendong also called all the squires in the county and asked them to cooperate in the registration to prevent anyone from reporting the situation randomly.
Of course, after registering the situation, you can also receive ten pounds of relief food! It greatly stimulated the motivation of the people. Come and sign up enthusiastically.
This made Chu Feng satisfied, and he actually received a capable master.
Chu Feng, Shuang'er and the others quietly looked at the long queues at several registration gates. It is inevitable to feel a moment of emotion: "To do practical things, you really need experience. Fortunately, I didn't post the recruitment notice I wrote for the first time. Otherwise, the crowds of people would have annoyed me to death! There might even be a stampede. That would be really terrible." That’s what happened.”
During the census, Chu Feng was not idle. He directly asked his servants to quietly dig several carts of black soil and sent them to Chujiazhuang. He wanted to experiment with kiln burning. However, when digging the black soil, the servants looked very frightened.
An angry Chu Feng said casually: "What's so scary about digging black soil? The young master is the county magistrate here, and the land master here. The black soil must obey the young master. Just dig it, it won't be poisoned!"
Sure enough, the servants became energetic. After finally digging, they realized that they were not poisoned. They looked at Chu Feng with deep admiration.
It made Chu Feng feel elated, and it felt like it was good to pretend to be a ghost sometimes.
The brand new stone kiln and the dark coal are in sharp contrast.
Uncle Wu looked at Chu Feng in surprise: "Master, you said you want to use these black soils to burn kilns? Can they burn?"
Uncle Wu wanted to reach out and touch Chu Feng's forehead, but he didn't dare.
"Remember, block the news about the black soil kiln, understand? The young master naturally has a magic that can make these black soil burn!"
At this time, Chu Feng had no choice but to stop pretending.
After all, it is too troublesome to explain. And once the news that black soil can burn spreads. There will definitely be big trouble. Those who hide in the dark and watch their own jokes will definitely jump out to cause trouble again.
It's better to pretend to be a ghost for once. Let others know that only you can use this black soil!
"My God, Master, do you know how to use magic?"
Uncle Wu immediately looked at Chu Feng with a different look. Chu Feng was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "The young master doesn't know any other magic. In fact, the young master can only use magic on the black soil to make it burn."
After all, a lie requires a hundred lies to support it. I don’t want to be thought of as a bigot and ask questions!
"So, the young master can conquer this harmful black soil! God bless, Shanglin County is really saved."
The old kiln leader who was standing next to the kiln fired the kiln and knelt down to Chu Feng with an excited "poof!" His daughter married to Shanglin County and gave birth to two children.
"Old Yaotou, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Moreover, the news that the young master can make black soil burn cannot be spread out yet. Otherwise, the people of Shanglin County will definitely kidnap the young master back and worship him as a god. The young master has really lost his freedom."
Chu Feng stretched out his hand to pull Lao Yaotou up and said loudly. I feel a little guilty, and I feel really uncomfortable using my current knowledge to deceive everyone.
"I understand, young master, please rest assured that I will never let this secret get out. As long as you can control the black soil as soon as possible and allow the people of Shanglin County to survive, that will be it!"
Lao Yaotou immediately expressed his stance, and everyone else also expressed their determination.
