Feng Jian was also incomprehensible, he glanced at everyone, and saw that Zheng Qing seemed to have an explanation, so he said: "Zheng Qing must know some reasons, you can explain it!" ”

"Obedience"

Zheng Qingqing Feng Jian bowed slightly, glanced around at everyone around and said: "Actually, most of the brothers here know the reason, and the villain is now specially explaining to the commander and this Brother Zhang." During the reign of Commander Xu, he was also troubled by the lack of agricultural tools and blades, and he was always trying to prepare for the establishment of a blacksmith workshop, but it was easy to build a workshop, but it was not easy to obtain iron materials for making agricultural tools and blades. Iron materials can only be bought in Pingdu City, and even if the cottage has silver two to buy, but as thieves, it is naturally impossible for us to buy iron in large quantities in Pingdu City! ”

Zheng Qing found that Feng Jian listened attentively, so he explained more patiently: "We rarely produce iron ore within a radius of 100 miles from Pingdu, and it is even more unrealistic to use iron ore to smelt iron by ourselves. Therefore, the establishment of a blacksmith workshop in the cottage has been unresolved, and our cottage has a shallow foundation after all, which also causes the shortage of cottage blade farm tools. As far as the villain knows, all the peaks of the entire Osawa Mountain Range are facing the problem of lack of blades and farm tools. Therefore, every time the rich and inferior gentry under the mountain are robbed, the captured blades and horses will attract the eyes of the bandits, and there are incidents of hijacking each other between the various peaks. ”

The rest of the leaders of the council hall nodded their heads one after another, saying that Zheng Qing's explanation was very detailed and clear!

So that's the case, Zhang Dalai suddenly said: "The blacksmith workshop you said is to have an iron furnace for iron smelting and ore smelting, which is naturally difficult to build." When I was young, I worked as a craftsman in the Zunhua Iron Mine in Beizhili, and I knew that the large iron furnace run by the regular government should be mixed with salt mud to build, and the iron furnace was one zhang and two feet deep, and each furnace could melt more than 2,000 catties of ore, and each furnace required forty or fifty workers. At this stage, the construction of an iron furnace is temporarily impossible for Huluyan. ”

Zhang Dalai paused for a moment, and then continued: "And our cottage blacksmith workshop doesn't need to be so troublesome at all, simply build a few iron furnaces, and be able to make farm tools and even knives, guns and blades by yourself, which is not difficult to do!" ”

Feng Jian was surprised in his heart, whether it was Zheng Qing or Zhang Dalai or the villagers of Huluyan, these people could not be underestimated. They have experienced many more people and things than they have in this day.

In this era, only the bankers know what the bankers think best, and they are the supporters and creators of this era!

Feng Jian felt that what he had to do was to understand what the Zhuanghu people lacked, what the Zhuanghu people urgently needed, as long as the urgent needs of the Zhuanghu people were met, there would naturally be unexpected gains.

Now that I think about it, I can be lucky to take over Huluyan, and it is important to get Hu Dadao's support, but more importantly, the simplicity and forbearance of the group of villagers in front of me, coupled with enough luck, let me be lucky to become the new ruler of Huluyan.

If there is another Jiang San'er among these people, will he end up like Hu Dadao, thinking of this, Feng Jian felt a sense of weakness, it seems that he must speed up the control of the Huluyan guard force, only by completely controlling the force of the cottage in his own hands will he completely consolidate his position in the cottage!

When I came back to my senses a little, I saw that some of the people were whispering, some were bowing their heads and pondering, and some were secretly watching themselves......

Feng Jian sighed and said: "It seems that the time is not ripe to set up an iron-making workshop, and I don't know if there is a blacksmith in the cottage before, but now Huluyan has Zhang Dalai, a blacksmith, and knows how to make iron-making furnaces, which is a great thing for us Huluyan." ”

Zheng Qing and the other leaders of the cottage also looked at Zhang Dalai with excitement, Zheng Qing arched his hand to Feng Jian and said: "Congratulations to the commander, now that the cottage has Brother Zhang, a master craftsman, and there is enough iron supply, we will not worry about the shortage of blades and farm tools." ”

"Yes, a blacksmith shop should be built right away to make bladed farming tools for the cottage."

"We also have a blacksmith shop in the village, but also because of the strict control of the government, the lack of pig iron, and can only tinker with some farm tools, large new farm tools must be filed in the Pingdu City Government Office, and then allowed to buy and transport out of the city, if Brother Zhang can make large farm tools for the cottage, it will definitely make the harvest of the farmer's field greatly increased!"

Feng Jian smiled and listened to everyone's discussion for a while, waved his hand and said: "Set up a blacksmith shop first, and you can send someone to secretly buy a small amount of iron from Pingdu City and transport it back to the cottage to solve the urgent needs of Shangzhai." ”

In the future, the Huluyan blacksmith workshop will not only make blade farm tools, but also specialize in the manufacture of various blades. The commander named the cottage blacksmith shop, well, the name is "Weapons Research Institute", and it is referred to as "Military Research Institute" to the outside world. How about the Zhang Dalai brothers preside over the weapons research and development institute? ”

Zhang Dalai, of course, who returned to his old profession, was willing: "Commander Xie is raised, of course I am willing, as long as there is enough iron supply, there will be no shortage of blade farm tools in Huluyan." ”

"Hehe, later you can recruit a few apprentices in the cottage to create weapons and farm tools for the cottage, and your family's fields have their own cottages to help you take care of them."

"Subordinates obey." Zhang Dalai gave up again.

Feng Jian turned to the crowd: "All the brothers have made suggestions, if you think it is inappropriate, you can put it forward, and this commander can discuss it with everyone." ”

If it were in the later generations, Feng Jian's humble approach would naturally put an end to the jealousy of most people and avoid being stabbed in the back.

And in this era, Feng Jian was humble to his subordinates, so that most of the people present thought that he was just making a show, as the leader of the cottage, blindly asking for the opinions of his subordinates in case of trouble really made his subordinates unable to adapt.

Maybe as time goes by, Feng Jian will become arbitrary and make decisions when encountering problems, but now he really can't adapt to this strong style of acting.

Jiao Qiang'er said loudly: "It's good that the commander decides, you don't have to ask us coarse, the brothers are right!" ”

Zhao Shougang, Zhang Dalai and others nodded in response.

Feng Jian smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Jiao, don't say that, everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, Huluyan is all the villagers of the cottage, everyone here is a member of the cottage headquarters, we must learn from the opinions of most people and suggest that we jointly develop and expand Huluyan, this is the right way." ”

"I want to talk about it too."

"Let's talk about it first!"

Everyone was stimulated by Feng Zhen's words to express their opinions, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Some measures that are beneficial to the cottage, Feng Jian accepted them one by one and prepared to implement them, and similarly, Feng Jian also kept in mind some people who put forward good suggestions and had the courage to implement them.

The unbarrierd communication between the high-level officials of the cottage quickly shortened the distance between each other, which Feng Jian was very happy to see. Establishing prestige is not achieved by blindly relying on arbitrariness, and sometimes a calm communication will have a greater effect on letting everyone speak freely.

Seeing that everyone was talking about it, Feng Jian said: "With everyone's suggestions, we will definitely have hope for the revival of Huluyan."

At this meeting, Feng Jianqian's self-confident and decisive way of acting deeply shocked everyone present, and many people went from disdain at the beginning to shock to admiration, and had a new understanding of the new commander.

After all the discussions were closed, Feng Jian went straight to Hu Dadao's ward, on the one hand, he was worried about Hu Dadao's injury, and on the other hand, he wanted to tell Hu Dadao what was agreed at the meeting.

Outside the ward, Shen Hanyang stopped Feng Jian: "What important things can't wait for Hu Tong to adopt his spirit." Feng Jian was a little embarrassed, and casually asked a few words about Hu Dadao's illness and turned around and was about to leave.

I heard Hu Dadao's voice coming from the ward: "Is Feng Jian outside?" In! Feng Jian glanced at Shen Hanyang, and when he saw his helpless look, he said, "I will leave after a visit, and I will never disturb Commander Hu's rest." ”

Hu Dadao was lying on the hospital bed, his left leg was knee-high and wrapped in a thick cloth, and there were faint traces of blood oozing.

Hu Dadao's face was gloomy, Feng Jian walked to the sickbed with a concerned face, Hu Dadao trembled and held Feng Jian's hand and said: "In the future, you can call the shots about what the cottage does, and you don't have to report it to me."

Taking a breath, he laughed at himself: "Doctor Shen said that if you want to live for a few more years, you must ignore foreign affairs and concentrate on recuperating from your injuries." ”

Feng Jian gritted his teeth and said: "It's all the sins made by Jiang San'er and his gang, and it won't solve the hatred of these people with a thousand knives!" ”

Hu Dadao sighed and said: "Don't talk about these sad things, I called you in to remind you a few words, Huluyan is now a mess of sand, and you, the great commander, are not easy to do!" Any decision you make is related to the survival and safety of the more than 4,000 people in the cottage, so you must think twice before doing anything. ”

Feng Jian had tears in his eyes: "Don't worry, the commander, I won't say anything superfluous, I will not live up to your expectations, Huluyan will not fall in my hands, don't worry!" ”

"Alas! Do your best, listen to the destiny of heaven, you are now in charge of the cottage, everything must not be forced, as soon as possible to familiarize yourself with the cottage people and things, so that the people of the village understand you and accept you, in order to effectively control the Huluyan cottage. ”

Feng Jian nodded uncontrollably.

Sitting in front of the sickbed, Feng Jian slightly reported to Hu Dadao a few major events agreed at the meeting just now, Hu Dadao listened silently, did not express his opinion, and encouraged after listening to Feng Jian: "As long as it is good for the cottage, just do it boldly." ”

Two days later, Jiang San'er, Yu Man, Feng Dazhong and several important rebels were beheaded in Huluyan Square, their heads were hung on the hanging bucket in the square, and their families were all driven out of Huluyan. The cottagers also figured out the origin of the whole incident through the notice, and Huluyan slowly returned to calm after the dust settled.
