In the early morning of August 15, Lin Feng was awakened by a sudden, violent and continuous palpitation, and sat up sweating profusely, only to find that it was still pitch black outside the window.

Lin Feng blinked his sleepy eyes a few times in a row, but found that there was a flower in front of him, and the extremely tragic siege scenes flashed by like a fast-forward movie, accompanied by continuous palpitations, and the wound in his ribs suddenly exploded, Lin Feng's whole person twitched violently, and fell on the mat again.

Xiao Fei'er, who was pressed, also woke up and asked Lin Feng what was wrong.

Lin Feng whispered a few words of comfort to her, exhaled slowly, reluctantly groped his way out of bed, walked to the outer room, lit the candle, and began to prepare to write. Xiao Fei'er hurriedly dressed up and went to the desk to polish the ink for him.

When the sky was slightly bright, Lin Feng instructed Xiao Fei'er to call Xi Mucheng, Lu Jiang, Wu Qiao, and Feng Jingyun to come over.

Lin Feng, who was full of tiredness, didn't talk nonsense, handed over the two large announcements that had just been written to Xi Mucheng, and asked him to immediately arrange for the sword and pen clerk to copy them, and then took out five handwritten letters with big seals, and told the three of them to select five batches of reliable special soldiers, a group of them rushed to Jinling, secretly met with Li Jingsui, King of Qi, and Li Yu, King of Zheng, and asked the two to say more good words, and be sure to urge the imperial court to send strategic materials such as weapons and food for war as soon as possible, the more the better, and then make a special trip to meet Situ Zhouzong, and ask the boss to do his best to support Shouzhou; The other four groups of brothers immediately quietly went to Chuditanzhou, Chenzhou, Xizhou and Guiguan to secretly recruit all the Hanyi reinforcements, and they must secretly rush to Shouzhou in batches before September 20!

Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng drove all of them out of the city and asked them to personally notify the three groups of people to come over.

When it was time for breakfast, the leaders of the special forces, the Shouzhou army, and the township soldiers were the first to arrive, Lin Fengtie blushed, and announced that from now on, the entire territory of Shouzhou will be under semi-martial law, and all soldiers will not be allowed to ask for leave, and they will not be allowed to enter and leave the barracks without authorization, and they must strengthen training and strict discipline every day. If any abnormal outsiders are found during the inspection, they can cut them first!

Although it was surprising that Lin Feng, who had always loved soldiers like sons and loved the people like sons, would suddenly attack and issue such a ruthless order, the generals rushed to beat their chests and said that they would definitely live up to Lin Feng's expectations. As soon as this group of soldiers walked away, the agents who participated in the World Merchants Conference and the representatives of wealthy businessmen who settled in the Junior Military Academy arrived in the second batch.

Lin Feng directly asked these people to speed up the progress of the current work, and at the same time urgently sent capable people to report to the family that the big war with the north might be advanced, so that each family could come up with an idea as soon as possible, whether to remove the young masters of each family in advance.

When these people heard the news, they changed color and said goodbye one after another.

Lin Feng took the rice porridge taken by Emperor Zhou E, took a few bites casually, and found that the representatives of the streets of Shouzhou City had arrived one after another, stacked the rice bowls aside, picked up a few large announcements that had been copied well, stepped forward, and arranged them in a low voice, on the one hand, he asked them to speed up the investigation and registration of the basic information of the people and property in the streets of the city, and on the other hand, he had to cooperate with the Assassin's Mansion to post the announcements everywhere, and asked everyone to rush to the Assassin's Mansion at noon, and they would explain in detail.

These representatives of the people had a cursory glance at the contents of the announcement, and then heard Lin Feng roughly reveal the news that the war was about to start, and they were all at a loss and shocked, and they ran away with the announcement in their hands.

At lunchtime, Lin Feng's voice was a little hoarse, and he finally finished explaining to the various groups of street representatives, and Wu Qiao came over to report that there were more than 10,000 people gathered at the door.

Lin Feng waved his hand and pushed away the lunch brought by Emperor Zhou E, led a few brothers to the front door of the Assassin's Mansion, and walked to the three tables that had been arranged.

"Lord Lin has arrived! Be quiet! The noisy crowd passed the words from front to back, and the crowd quickly quieted down, all looking up at the three people on the stage.

Xi Mucheng stepped forward and read out the first of the two new announcements:

"The Rules for the Honour of Shouzhou are as follows:

All Shouzhou people, regardless of occupation, urban or rural, are treated equally and selected fairly;

Those who have made outstanding contributions to Shouzhou's fight against foreign enemies and the development of economy, society and people's livelihood can be evaluated as honorary medals according to their merits and merits. The assessment consisted of randomly selected representatives;

……

Anyone who betrays Shouzhou and surrenders to the enemy will be deprived of all lordial positions, and all qualifications for selection will be cancelled from now on, and a public trial and punishment will be conducted according to the severity of the circumstances!

The above rules are effective today. ”

Some of the people gathered had already known the contents of the announcement, but more people did not read the details carefully, and couldn't help but whisper about it.

Lin Feng coughed lightly, raised his hands and pressed down, and the scene gradually quieted down.

Lu Jiang took a step forward and read out the first detailed rule of the "Shouzhou Meritorious People System":

"From now on, except for the history of assassination, the history of don't drive, the long history, and Sima, all officials of Shouzhou can only be selected from the meritorious people of Shouzhou!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the expressions of everyone at the scene changed, and the officials of the former Assassin's Mansion who were standing next to him and listening were even more shocked.

Lu Jiang waited for the scene to drop slightly, and continued to read;

"Those who contribute to the people are the people who have made great contributions to the safety and development of Shouzhou!

All meritorious people are selected according to the size of their merits, from those who have the Medal of Honor from high to low, and only meritorious people are eligible to compete for official positions in the three prefectures of Shouzhou, and all selections and competition results must be publicized, and anyone can raise objections to injustice;

If a person dies due to meritorious service, he can transfer his meritorious qualification to a close relative;

……

The above rules take effect today! ”

The shocking effect of these details is no less than the explosion of dozens of earth-shattering thunders at once! Because compared to the Honorary Lordship system, the meritorious system can be described as subversive!

In the past, there were only a few ways for the people to be officials: the first was to rush for the exam, which was the most recognized way to promote officials since the imperial examination began in the Sui Dynasty; The second is the recommendation of the powerful, who enter the government through filial piety and honesty, nine products and other ways, but there are very few who succeed smoothly after the most Lu, and they are basically insulated from the poor people; The third is to be a big official first, boil the relationship, boil the qualifications, and then slowly transfer to the actual position, the success rate is similar to the lottery winning in later generations; The fourth is more alternative, there are many rebels in all dynasties who have been recruited and successfully transformed, but in the end it seems that the end is not very good. Now it's okay, Lin Feng directly rewarded meritorious deeds and openly selected officials, which is relatively fair!

In Lu Jiang's explanation of the article, of course, the objects chosen by the meritorious people are not only the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the people of the Academy of Sciences, and the scholars, but also other wealthy merchants, hawkers, and ordinary people, all of whom are equal in law and have a chance!

Many people were suddenly a little excited, and a look of expectation appeared on their faces. Since ancient times, wealth and wealth have been sought in danger, even if they give up this body, it is cost-effective to seek a future for future generations!

At the end, Lin Feng took a step forward, raised his right hand high, and all the staff quieted down, waiting for him to speak.

Lin Feng looked around at the people under the table with affection, and then shouted in a hoarse voice: "Everyone still doesn't understand, the long-term rules of Shouzhou City are already being drafted, and they will soon be posted for everyone to discuss." In this plan, our Shouzhou will become the richest city, the most solid city, the warmest city, the most civilized city, and the cleanest city in the world! ”

Lin Feng made the number "three" with his right hand, and said with sadness: "Three years!" As long as I am given three years, I am confident that our Shouzhou will be built into an ideal city where widows and widows are lonely and supported, everyone has food, everyone has work, and everyone has dignity, everyone can witness the city becoming more beautiful day by day, and the days are getting better day by day, without worrying about nothing to raise after a hundred years, you can enjoy the scenery in the park after tea and dinner, and you can face all the people in the world equally and confidently! At that time, Shouzhou will be an ideal holy place that everyone in the world yearns for and wants to come here! ”

Lin Feng slowly showed the gesture of his right hand to all the crowd, and where his right hand was raised, many people couldn't help but burst into tears and nodded wildly. The facts are here, Lin Feng has been in Shouzhou for just a few months, and he has done many great things to benefit the people and benefit the people.

"But the trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop. Now, some people are red-eyed and want to rob us of the fruits of construction through war, destroy our city, and destroy our hope for the future, what should we do? Lin Feng's voice became hoarse, and he raised his arms and shouted.
