When Gu Zheng was in office, he had cleaned up the Fuxin River, relatively speaking, the amount of work in this river is not large, and there is more sand in the Dasha River area, which is the highlight of the Qinghe River. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Dasha River is about 50 miles long in the county, and there are more than 10 miles in the key clean-up areas, so the amount of work is not small.

The biggest is of course the excavation of two canals, one connecting the Fuxin River and the Dasha River, and the other connecting the Bianhe River and the Dasha River. These two canals add up to about 30 miles.

In fact, there is a small section, which is a small river connecting the Fuxin River and the county seat, because this river is connected, but it needs to be dredged again because of the sand and gravel sinking caused by the interruption of the flow, but the amount of work is not large.

Dredging rivers and digging ditches requires money and manpower.

The peak budget of 1.1 million yuan is actually not generous, and even if he can't afford it, he can't afford it. The financial revenue of the entire county government is only a little, and half of the imperial court has been retained, and in addition to other expenses, it can be taken out of less than 500,000 yuan, and there is still a gap of more than 600,000 yuan.

There was no money to find a way to raise it, so the county government introduced several policies.

First, all those who have strong labor in the family need to serve in labor, that is, free river labor, and it is okay if they do not work, and the cost of river labor is calculated according to the head of strong labor. In this way, a portion of the river labor costs were offset inside and out.

Second, all businesses registered by the county government are required to work out of the river, which is charged according to the size of the business and the registration fee.

Third, mobilize the masses to donate. Vigorously publicize the benefits of river repair, explain the beautiful social morality that everyone contributes and everyone benefits, and advocate spontaneous donations.

Fourth, borrow money from all walks of life, with a one-year term and an interest rate of 5 percent.

In this way, I finally raised enough money for the corresponding river work.

Among them, the most positive and eye-catching is the Gao family workshop, which not only donated 200,000 yuan, but also lent 100,000 yuan, and half of the gap was made in one family.

The problem of money is solved, and all that remains is manpower.

The population of the county is less than 40,000, and the able-bodied labor force is less than 20,000, and after deducting the cost of digging the river, there are only about 10,000 river workers who can really use it, and it is simply unrealistic to think that 10,000 people can complete such a huge project in a few months.

No one just has money and no place to spend it, not to mention that there is not much money at the peak.

In desperation, he put his mind into several neighboring counties, and he was ready to dig a corner.

After a rough calculation, if you can recruit 20,000 people from other counties, although the time is urgent, it can still be completed, if you can't reach 20,000, it is a bit dangerous, of course, recruiting 30,000 people can definitely easily achieve the goal.

In order to dig up people, Gao Feng first sent people to various places to agitate and explain the river work fee, so that everyone could know it.

Later, he wrote a letter to Zhang Ye and sent a letter to the county government, hoping to get support. Sending a letter to the county government is just a procedure, in order to avoid being impeached, and Zhang Ye's letter is the most important.

Zhang Ye is already the assassin of Xuzhou, with six counties under his jurisdiction, although there are only two counties adjacent to Feng' County, but he can still support him.

Zhang Ye's reply came quickly, and he made it clear that he was supportive. With Zhang Ye's attitude, Gao Feng's courage increased, and he even secretly asked people to do work to those outsiders, and those who were willing to settle down and buy land in the county could enjoy the same policy treatment as the people in the county.

This is really digging a corner, if it is known by other magistrates, it will definitely faint.

Gao Feng's move is also impossible, he is engaged in development, but there is a lack of manpower, especially after the development of the Dasha River, the shortage of manpower is becoming more and more serious, he can only act so shamelessly.

In any case, in the end, Gao Feng also received more than 20,000 river workers from other places, which provided a guarantee for his river engineering plan.

Subsequently, the peak of the river canal was segmented, the contract responsibility system was implemented, and more work was advocated, which not only mobilized the enthusiasm of the river workers, but also reduced the management pressure of the county government, and the phenomenon of resource waste was greatly alleviated. The county government saves trouble, and only needs to arrange people to supervise and inspect the acceptance results.

At the same time as the river was repaired, Gao Feng also built sluice dams in several key parts, which not only for water storage and irrigation, but also for flood control and disaster reduction, and to promote fishery farming.

Of course, the construction of bridges over the river is also indispensable, which lays the foundation for the next major road repair in the county.

While implementing these development plans, Gao Feng attaches the most importance to one thing, that is, the formation and training of township soldiers.

The military system of the Song Dynasty was ten armies per box, five battalions per army, five battalions per battalion, and one hundred people per battalion.

According to Gao Feng's original idea, at least ten township barracks should be formed, that is, two armies and a team of 5,000 people, but the documents of the imperial court deterred him, so he could only halve it, and finally formed a team of five battalions and 2,500 people.

The township soldiers were organized according to regions, and the county was divided into five large regions, with one battalion in each region, and one battalion commander was arranged. The five battalions are combined into one corps, and one corps commander is arranged.

Because it is a township soldier, the establishment is not perfect, and even the appointment of the commander is not regular, so the army commander was appointed by Gao Feng to Wu Jue, that is to say, Wu Jue is fully responsible for the training and management of the township soldiers.

Half of the team of the Baojia Army was drawn into the township barracks, with two or three men in each battalion, and the battalion commander and deputy envoy were also selected from these people.

In addition to bringing the township soldiers well, the purpose of the Baojia Army's entry into the township barracks was to comprehensively implement the three major regulations, using the regulations for management and training with the regulations, and as for some operational tactics, they were uniformly deployed by Wu Jue.

As a county lieutenant, Yang Bangyi can't be idle, of course, his task is to be responsible for the supervision and transfer of township soldiers.

The imperial court agreed to the supply of 200 healthy horses, the source of which was a horse farm in the north, and Gao Feng naturally wanted to hold it, and at the same time, he secretly bought more than 100 more horses in other names, so that there were more than 300 good horses.

Gao Feng was not satisfied, and asked Jia Ming and others to smuggle more than 200 horses from other places and abroad, so that the number of his horses reached more than 500.

took out some of it and gave it to Zhang Bairen to breed, and gave the rest to Wu Jue to let him train cavalry. In this way, a cavalry battalion of five hundred people was formed.

The infantry tactics let Wu Jue ponder, but Gao Feng told Wu Jue a new style of cavalry tactics, that is, roundabout tactics.

This tactic was invented by the Mongols, and it was with this tactic that the Mongol cavalry was invincible and expanded their territory to the limit.

The roundabout tactics are in line with the old man's laws of war, so Gao Feng directly used the guiding principle when explaining the tactics to Wu Jue: "The enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs me, the enemy is tired and I fight, and the enemy retreats and I chase." ”

In short, it is to always keep a certain distance from the enemy, and to damage the enemy's living force by shooting crossbow arrows on the horse.
