Lin Jian stood in the dry and hot kiln, watching Zhao Drunken Ghost organize craftsmen to stack wood on the tuyere, and saw Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde and others looking in the kiln, walked over, and said, "I'm going to Jinhai ......."

Lin Tie pretended to hide in the name of filial piety for three months, Qin Chengzu and they knew that his heart knot was untied, at this time listening to Lin Tie say that he was going to Jinhai, Qin Chengzu thought for a while, and said: "You should indeed go to Jinhai, you can't go openly, but there is no need to go unknowingly......

After Lin Jian led the Jiangdong Left Army back to Chongzhou, Tang Haoxin was the backbone of the northern front, although Lin Xuwen presided over Jinhai, but Lin Xuwen's prestige still could not be compared with Tang Haoxin and Lin Bin. Tang Haoxin died on a hunger strike, and the people of Jinhai, especially those who were already relatively loose in Denglai, will inevitably be a little confused.

At this time, the hearts of the people over there must not be dispersed, and it is very necessary for Lin Jian to go over at this time, and he can also try how deep his connections and reputation are.

After all, Lin Jian was hiding in the name of filial piety, so he couldn't go openly, but he also had to let the imperial court, especially the Liang family, know that Lin Jian had been to Jinhai, which was to warn these people to know that the influence on Jinhai here was something they could not underestimate, and it could be regarded as a counterattack.

"I plan to transfer the first water battalion to strengthen the Shengsi defense line, and the river defense on the Chongzhou side will be handled by Yang Shi, and the current river defense here is also based on training," Lin Jian said, "Then we can draw out all the Jinhai ships, and then draw five Jiyun-class warships out to go north." The kiln can now produce one-third of the qualified wood at a time, which is better than I expected, but it is not really qualified, and it is necessary to try to build several ships to test the water before the large-scale use of the kiln to prepare materials. The Longjiang Shipyard will make the last hammer deal, and it is best to make as many big materials as possible at one time, and it is best to have six to eight Jinhai-class warships built here before the end of summer......"

Sun Jingxuan suddenly felt the pressure on his shoulders was extremely great.

At the beginning of the construction of the shipyard, it was only planned to reach the level of ten to twelve Jinhai-class warships in three years, and the shipyard was only prepared for construction for less than eight months, and Lin Jian hoped to build six to eight Jinhai ships in the next six months.

Of course, if the kiln can be completed, the time for material preparation will be greatly shortened, and it is not impossible to form a large-scale shipbuilding capacity in a short time. The water camp was stationed in the army cottage, and almost all the open-air docks outside Guanyin Beach were given up, and nearly 100 craftsmen were brought over from Jiangning, so that there were a lot of people here, and Sun Jingxuan did not say that it was difficult, but said: "Then I will go back to Jiangning......

The large materials needed to build the Jinhai-class warships can only be secretly bought from the Longjiang Shipyard, and it is really a hammer deal to buy enough materials to build six to eight ships at a time.

"The Liang family is powerless to deal with the Donglu in Yanbei, but they are still very sharp against the Heavenly Jacket Army, which is hastily formed by 300,000 people who repair the embankment of the Yellow River. Ge Ping, under pressure from the northern front, is likely to choose to lead the Tianyuan Liumin army to retreat south. In that case, the war will soon extend from the plains and Jinan to the south, affecting Jining and Linyi, and it will not be surprising that there will be an influx of displaced troops into the Xu and Su areas. It is not difficult to defeat the exile army, but the difficulty is that this fire is difficult to extinguish. As soon as the Wandering People's Army is dispersed, it will be like a spark bursting open, which will ignite a bigger fire," Lin Jian said, "We don't care how the Wandering People's Army fights with the officers and soldiers, and we can't control it, and the dredging of the Salt River must be completed within three months, and it is enough to bring in 30,000 or 40,000 young and strong laborers." Immediately send sentinels to the north and secretly guide the displaced people south to Chongzhou. If you want to take refuge in Chongzhou after defeating the displaced people's army, you can do so, provided that you must accept the adaptation of Chongzhou - after the dredging of the Yunyan River is completed, don't worry that the displaced people will not be able to arrange, Hecheng will be reclaimed, and preparations will be made from the junction of the two places now......"

When the concept of the world boundary is quite vague, although there is a boundary stone, but quietly move the boundary stone to the east for a mile or two, no one in Chongzhou has much to say, in the case that Hecheng also belongs to the Jiangdong Left Military Defense Zone, there is no worry about who will get a conclusive handle. Water conservancy facilities can't keep up for a while, so spring wheat can be planted first. If you really want to cut off the ministry of providing grass to the salt area, and fill in the grassland of Hecheng with 100,000 people, there is no pressure at all.

"Many people despise Chongzhou, in their opinion, Chongzhou County as a base is too narrow, it is really difficult to have any effect," Lin Tie said, "I don't think so, to measure the war potential of a place, the vast land and dense population is one aspect, but it is not the decisive factor, the key depends on the material wealth and the ability to organize and mobilize, I think you also have a deep experience......

In the history that Lin Jian knew, it seemed more common for the small country of Yuer to beat the old empire all over the ground to find teeth, so he would not have the confusion that Chongzhou was too narrow as a base place.

Speaking of experience, Lin Mengde and Cao Ziang felt the deepest.

The Jiangdong Left Army made the most outstanding contributions to King Qinwang in Yannan, so that Zhang Xie, Yue Lengqiu and others could not openly stand up and shout for the disbandment of the Jiangdong Left Army after the war - the poisonous plan they thought of was to drag down the Jiangdong Left Army and cover up the Lin Tie in terms of financial resources, and rewardingly divide Chongzhou County as the source and garrison of the Jiangdong Left Army, and let the Lin Tie toss it as it is.

At that time, there were only 3,000 soldiers on the surface of the Jiangdong Left Army, and countless people firmly believed that with the financial resources of Chongzhou County, they could not afford to raise 3,000 elite soldiers.

Lin Mengde and Cao Ziang were also full of worries at first, and Lin Mengde was so worried that in the first half a year, his sideburns were frosty white.

After Lin Jian used the thunderous means to investigate the Chongzhou County Monastery and sent fields, the Jiangdong Left Army secretly obtained nearly 180,000 mu of thin-yield tuntian, and Lin Mengde and Cao Ziang had a little bottom.

"Others use the name of 'swineherd' to defile me, but they only expose their ignorance and incompetence," Lin Tie smiled with his hands, he thought about the notoriety he had borne for two years, "I send you and other six words need to remember 'build a high city, accumulate grain', since you can't expand the territory, plant the field well, that is, the best policy, a good policy...... "Lin Tie hid the three words "slow to be the king" did not say.

When it comes to farming, Hu Zhiyong and others have the most feelings.

Xisha Island has a lot of area, and nearly 200,000 acres of land can be reclaimed, but for a long time, due to the harsh environment, the number of islanders has only been maintained at about 1,000. After a large-scale southward influx of displaced people, it suddenly expanded dramatically to more than 40,000 people.

A storm swept away half of the lives – almost no one thought that the barren land and harsh conditions of the Paracel Island could feed the remaining 20,000 people.

In a year and a half, he took these islanders who had no way to retreat, and reclaimed 20,000 acres of mulberry orchards, more than 20,000 acres of cotton and hemp fields, and 120,000 acres of rice and wheat fields on Xisha Island, dug more than 30 miles of canals, and more than 500 miles of irrigation ditches.

Last year, the autumn grain harvest on Xisha Island reached 100,000 stones, and it is expected that the annual grain output this year will reach 200,000 stones.

Based on Ding Zhuang's annual ration of 6 stone and halving the old and young, Xisha Island's annual grain output has reached 200,000 stone, which can not only meet the needs of more than 36,000 people on the island to satisfy their stomachs, but also save 450,000 stone of rice grain for military needs.

Probably because he was used to living a poor life, Lin Jian decided to use rice bran, wheat bran and other things as feed, but Hu Zhiyong was scolded a lot on the island. The cotton and mulberry hemp produced on the island can also meet the needs of the islanders for clothing, and the storage of beach poultry and pigs and cattle is far higher than the level of rich prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

If it only meets the standard of drawing 3,000 elite soldiers and raising 3,000 elite soldiers, it is actually enough to only need Xisha Island.

At this time, the strength of the Jiangdong Left Army had actually expanded to 12,000 people, which was enough to complete the establishment of Ninghai Town. In the view of Lin Mengde, Cao Ziang, Hu Zhiyong, and others, even if there is no more than 30,000 taels of silver money allocated by the county department every year, as long as they survive this year and complete the major event of the dredging project of the Yunyan River, they can barely support more than 12,000 elites with the land of Chongzhou County and the more than 400,000 mu of tuntian and public land (excluding Xisha Island) actually in the hands of the Jiangdong Left Army.

Of course, the goal they want to achieve in the land of Chongzhou will not stop there.

"Jiangmen, Hecheng, Jiuhua, and Guanyintan all have inspection divisions, even if the county department does not recognize it, first give a letter to Yin in the name of the county government and the Jinghai Metropolitan Supervision Department," Lin Jian said, "Judging from the current situation, Jiuhua is the most important, Hu Zhiyong will go to Jiuhua, let Li Shutang go to Guanyintan for you, Wang Chengfu will be in charge of Hecheng, and Chen Lei will go to Jiangmen......"

Once the dredging project of Yunyan River is completed, Yunyan River, Xishan River, Yangtze River Road, and East China Sea constitute the natural outer moat of Chongzhou and Hecheng, and Jiuhua is located in the northwest corner, bordering Xinghua, Gaocheng and Hailing counties.

Listening to Lin Lian's mention of Jiuhua as the most important place at present, Cao Ziang and the others were secretly excited, this actually had the intention of rejecting foreign enemies outside the northwest of Chongzhou, what foreign enemies would invade in the northwest of Chongzhou?

Hu Zhiyong also agreed to it.

Although it seems that in addition to Chongcheng, Guanyin Beach is the most important, and Jiuhua is far less complete than Jiangmen and Hecheng except for a military fortress.

Since Lin Jian has the intention of guarding Chongzhou to stand on his own, Jiuhua's strategic position naturally exceeds that of Jiangmen, Hecheng, and Guanyintan.

"If the inspection department is based on the usual practice and takes the arrest of thieves as the key, then there is no need to set up more than that," Lin Jian said, "I want you to set up households, criminals, soldiers, workers, rites, officials and cangqicao in all the inspection divisions, and set up officials with one principal and three deputies, and others will engage in redundant and complicated administration - this election of officials can allow large households to recommend their children to serve as ......"

Lin Mengde and Cao Ziang also agreed together, Lin Jian set up more redundant officials as early as the beginning of the reorganization of the county government, so that the small county government had fifty or sixty officials to eat official meals, and counting the officials of the East Ya, there were more than 100 people. If the officials are redundant, Chongzhou will probably be able to get the lowest evaluation.

However, when many major events such as the construction of Chongzhou and the dredging and the inventory of public land rushed up, so many manpower was still not enough.

With the addition of four inspection divisions, the establishment of seven cao are all one principal and three deputy elected officials, plus miscellaneous officials such as secretary office and transcription, there will be more than 2560 subordinate officials in Chongzhou County, at least in the current world, which is a jaw-dropping number.

The total number of Dingkou in Chongzhou is more than 350,000 (including Xisha Island), and there are 10,000 literate people who are not 20,000.

After all, the children of large families are a minority, and for ordinary people, being able to eat official meals is something they want to do to break their heads, and the vast majority of them will not care whether the inspection department is private or not, and whether it violates the law or not.

The reason why the Wandering People's Army is a Wandering People's Army and a Wandering Army is that it may produce a group of suitable or even extremely excellent generals in the long-term struggle, but it is difficult to train a large number of internal affairs officials. Without these sorts of government affairs, it is almost impossible to gain a foothold in one place.

"In addition, the combat training literacy class will be changed to the military combat training academy from now on, and there will be a school director, and I will personally serve as the head of the school," Lin Jian said, "so please trouble Qin Ye to serve as the chief instructor...... When the ship is drawn out of Shengsi, I will go to Jinhai, at least a month, at most two months, and then I will come back. ”
