Entering April, the weather in Fengli City finally jumped out of the coldness, and I felt much more comfortable.
Mainly the stove. After using that thing for a long time, I feel very dry all over. It doesn't matter how many basins of water are placed in the house, just like the meat in the fireplace, which gradually loses moisture.
Shen Hao had not asked Xia Nu to burn the earth dragon in his bedroom as early as March. It's just that there was no way to cut off the ground dragon for him alone in the public house. He didn't need it and others had to use it, so he had to survive for a month by keeping the window open, and at the same time, he stayed in the public house as little as possible.
This month, Shen Hao visited four 100-household offices and took a look at the results of the pilot program since this month.
One turn exceeded Shen Hao's expectation by a lot.
Firstly, this is because a high-risk job like Xuan Qingwei basically cannot support idle people, especially at the grassroots level, because there are always dangerous cases that need to be investigated, and the idle people who are dawdling may be gone one day. Life.
There is a saying among the grassroots of Xuanqing Guard: Anyone who can survive and work at the grassroots level of Xuanqing Guard for more than three years is not a good person, and everyone has his own sophisticated methods.
For money, for meritorious service, or for advancement in official career, there are almost no people living in Xuanqing Guard. Every guard is like a snake's nest in the eyes of others, and you can always feel the cold scrutiny as soon as you enter. His eyes swept over his body, and no one wanted to stay longer.
Secondly, the people from the Black Flag Battalion recently started a "surprise training" campaign, which stirred up the whole hundred households to follow the death-defying drills.
A "Grand Competition Schedule and Participation Instructions" was like pouring a ladle of water into a hot oil pan. It was so lively that Shen Haodu had to adjust his expectations upward again.
It's hard to think about the crazy energy that those low-level soldiers who had no hope for life but still persisted in hoping to step into the threshold of monks once again saw real hope. Even the monks at the first and second levels of Qi Refining were aroused to the same extent.
In just one month, nearly 150 people belonging to the Black Flag Battalion in the four hundred households have broken through the mortal world and stepped into the threshold of cultivation! In addition, there are more than fifty low-level monks who have improved their cultivation and broken through to small realms. There was even a monk named Ma Shun who was at the first level of Qi Refining and broke through two small realm bottlenecks one after another to enter the third level of Qi Refining!
These were all results. They had been reported after being summarized by Shen Hao himself. Jiang Cheng even sent someone to verify them. He was afraid that Shen Hao had mistakenly written down the wrong number of people and made a joke. As a result, the people who came to verify came back with the results. Looking at the list of eleven new Po Fans, he looked confused.
Then Jiang Cheng's order clearly stated: seize the time to arrange matters related to the "Great Competition", and be sure to demonstrate the various improvements made by the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City after the "Great Competition" after the General Pilot Plan. Be sure to do a good job in reception and ensure that all safety matters are correct on April 15th.
The order written by Jiang Cheng later made it clear that Pang Ban would come to the "big competition" in Fengli City on April 15th.
After getting Jiang Cheng's order, Shen Hao had no intention of being alone, so he asked Wang Yiming to print the order and "forward" it to the four Baihusuo Black Flag Camps immediately.
Needless to say, the killers who had already been given blood were howling in excitement.
The Xuanqing Guards at the grassroots level seem to be a bit strange in the local area with only five to six people, but they are also divided into people. When they see hundreds of households in their own house, they all nod and bow with respect. When have you ever seen such a high-ranking official as the commander? Not to mention the commanders, there are many people who have never even seen Qianhu.
And this competition will be held under the eyes of the commander? If you get the ranking, you will have the opportunity to receive the reward personally from the commander.
This is glory! For many low-level Xuanqing Guard soldiers, it can even be regarded as a major event to honor their ancestors.
With such stimulation, how can one not be so excited that the whole body is full of energy?
According to Wang Yiming's arrangement, the preparations for the competition are almost completed. From the competition items to the venue, as well as logistical support, everything has been carefully considered. Finally, Shen Hao nodded. Jiang Cheng was also consulted on some details, and everything was basically ready.
The only thing that's still hanging in the air is the "reward."
According to Shen Hao's initial thoughts? After all, this is a competition within the Black Flag Camp in Fengli City, and the rewards are mainly based on "one's ability". Job titles, ordinary elixirs, low-grade magic weapons, money, and even "excellent" in official evaluations can all be used as rewards for winning.
But this seemingly harmless idea was finally put on hold by Jiang Cheng.
It wasn't until this morning that Shen Hao received the note from Jiang Cheng? It was the final draft of the revised reward plan.
"Master Jiang is so generous!"
When Shen Hao got the "reward" note sent back by Jiang Cheng for confirmation, his first reaction was that he thought he had read it wrong. After confirming again and again, I have to sigh that Jiang Cheng really dared to make the decision. Not only has the original rewards been increased by nearly 30%, but a column of rewards has also been added to some important awards: meritorious service.
Merit is hard to get. Although Qianhu Office has the power to distribute it to the lower level, Shen Hao has never thought of including this level of reward in the "big competition". It feels a bit "exceeding the standard".
Thinking about it more carefully, Shen Hao had to admire Jiang Cheng's courage.
Jiang Cheng was gambling.
Will the rewards prepared in Fengli City be increased? The higher part will definitely not be borne by the Black Flag Camp of Fengli City. It will not be subsidized by the Thousand Households Office of Fengli City, but will be subsidized by the town governor's office. fill. Including the "meritorious merit awards" added at the end were also approved and issued directly by the Zhen Fu Shi Yamen.
The core reason for doing this was that Shen Hao thought that Jiang Cheng was betting on the "Great Competition" and thought that the "Great Competition" would be a blockbuster. In this way, more of the rewards from the bet would be distributed to the Jingxi Town Fushi Yamen. , rather than simply being a "spectator".
This is not about taking credit? It is about creating opportunities for oneself.
After Shen Hao figured out these twists and turns, he handed over the finalized reward details to Wang Yiming, and added them to the instructions for the "Great Competition" and distributed them.
Can it be foreseen that these reward details will definitely make the people below even crazier again.
"Sir, Kuang Qianhu sent someone to ask you to come to his father-in-law's apartment."
Shen Hao was just about to call Wang Yiming to take a look at the layout of the school field outside the stadium to see if there were any missing details. Then he got up and saw the concierge coming in to make an announcement.
"Kuang Qianhu? Got it? I'll be there right away."
Shen Hao didn't think much about it. Kuang Shengyuan was his superior. It was normal to call him over if something happened, but he didn't know why.
As soon as I arrived at the door of Kuang Shengyuan's public house, I happened to bump into four faces that I didn't see often in daily life. They were officials of hundreds of households in the four jurisdictions. These four people happened to be coming out of Kuang Shengyuan's public house.
Shen Hao smiled and nodded towards these four people, turning sideways to let them go first. The other party also handed over to him, but there was no verbal communication.
However, Shen Hao secretly thought: These four people came together to find Kuang Shengyuan, and Kuang Shengyuan immediately came to me again, fearing that they were related.
