Volume 7 The Fierce Battle Chapter 1 The Calm Before the Storm

"From August to October of the ninth year of Baoda, the whole world seemed to be unusually calm, and when people who did not know the truth were still lamenting that the world seemed to be returning to peace, they did not know that a great war that swept the world was silently brewing and accumulating strength...... This tranquility is like the tranquility before a storm. ”

β€”β€”Excerpt from "The Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty? Lin Feng's Memorabilia is almost the same, since late July, all parts of the world have started with a small bustle, and then quickly fell into a deep calm, like a person yawning, stretching his waist, and then completely falling asleep.

This is the case in the three places in the world where there are battles.

In the southernmost Chaozhou, the Southern Han soldiers who had been surrounding the city of Chaozhou suddenly withdrew in batches, and Zhang Hansi, the former deputy commander of the Qingyuan Army of the Southern Tang Army, was a little unable to understand the meaning of the Southern Han, so he had to follow Lin Feng's instructions before leaving, firmly hold the area east of Chaozhou and the Hanjiang River, and wait and see the progress of the battle.

In the Fuzhou area of the Southern Tang Dynasty, after the Wu Yue army, which was fighting against Chen Xu, the envoy of the Jianzhou Jiedu and the servant in the mountains, changed part of the garrison with great fanfare, and continued the previous turtle warfare method, but still did not leave the camp. Chen Yu was even less anxious, he only led the troops to train every day, as if the enemy on the opposite side did not exist.

In the three prefectures of Jiangzhou, Xizhou, and Cizhou in the Later Zhou Dynasty, Wang Yan and Han Lingkun organized two large-scale encirclement and suppression into the mountains, but the effect of killing the enemy was not very good, so they had to continue to encircle the mountains and clear the whole territory. Tokyo City, which received Wang Yan's military report, did not care and ordered them to arrange for the return of the refugees from the original three states as soon as possible.

However, when the refugees from all over the country on the east bank of the Fen River quickly gathered and waited to cross the river, three of the few ferries to cross the river were blown up one after another, and there were also two tents in the refugee camp that suddenly exploded, and the huge sound of the explosion shocked countless people, and the rumor of "God punishes the people of the three states" spread rapidly in the refugee camp, except for a very small number of people who tried to cross the Fen River to go home, the vast majority of people no longer dared to cross the river easily, and could only look at their homes across the river. Although Wang Yan and Han Lingkun then strengthened the vigilance of the Fenhe River and called on the people to return to their homes with confidence, the project to bring the people home has come to a standstill.

The countries surrounding the Southern Tang Dynasty even came up with the posture of "I can't afford to provoke me, I can afford to hide".

During this period of time, the three countries of the Later Zhou, Wu Yue, and Southern Han basically stopped having official exchanges with the Southern Tang Dynasty, as if they had never had disputes, unhappiness and mustards with each other.

Because of the return of Chu to the Southern Tang Dynasty, Nanping, which already borders the Southern Tang Dynasty in the west, is still a Lang prodigal son who "can't help me in the world, and the world is free for me", and never pays attention to the booming "big guys" around him; Later Shu, who went west, also seemed to have suddenly lost its enthusiasm for interacting with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and continued to hide in the deep mountains to become unified, and went freely and leisurely.

Even within the Southern Tang Dynasty, it has basically become a situation of powerlessness.

Because Emperor Li Jing and King Li Jingsui of Qi suddenly became a little absent-minded, the Southern Tang Dynasty was also controlled by a lazy atmosphere, and the privy envoy Feng Yansi and others originally intended to launch a new round of reform led by themselves, but also quietly cooled in the listlessness of the "big boss".

In Yangzhou, the eastern capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Dongdu Bank was established lively, and Tang Hao, who stayed in the eastern capital, was regarded as the nominal president, and Ma Yankuan and Zhang Renfang became the two vice presidents, known as 8 million yuan of capital, and at the same time built three silver buildings in the eastern capital, and launched the business of absorption, lending, and housing loans. After two days of bustling activity, the eastern capital city returned to calm. After all, these banks are primarily for the rich, and the rich are always in the minority.

It seems that there is only one place in the world that continues to be lively.

On August 9th, the opening of the supermarket caused a sensation in the city, all the people crazy to support their own part of the shares of the cash cow, Lin Feng in the "Shouzhou Business Daily" for the early warm-up publicity, especially announced the first three days of consumption of more than three money, since then become a member of Shouzhou supermarket, forever enjoy the marketing policy of 10% discount, but also make the opening of the market into a crazy shopping festival in Shouzhou City.

Around this time, the Shouzhou Academy of Sciences was launched in a low-key manner, and the bicycle factory, the clock factory, the briquette factory, and the toy factory were grandly opened. In the wharf area in the north of the city, there are all kinds of big ships coming and going all day long, unloading all kinds of goods and well-sealed sacks, which has also become a commonplace scene for Shouzhou people every day.

From August 10, Lin Feng suddenly sent all the people from the three prefectures to vigorously promote the cleaning management model of Mingxin Street in the whole city, and established all the street management organizations within three days, finalized all the management representatives and supervision representatives, and registered them respectively. Privately, these representatives each received a top-secret task to convey from mouth to mouth, and Lin Feng personally asked them to register all the shops, personnel, and overall situation in their respective streets as soon as possible.

Although these newly appointed deputies had doubts, they would never have any objections to Lin Feng's arrangement, and they were all secretly busy.

At this time, Lin Feng, after several days of private visits to Weifu, found out the situation of the abandoned and vacant houses and land in the city, and secretly asked someone to buy a part of it in the name of the Assassin Mansion and various wealthy merchants, preparing to start a new plan.

On the morning of August 14, Lin Feng, who was busy in the Assassin's Mansion, received a mysterious message, so he had to put down his work and rushed to the gatehouse of the Assassin's Mansion.

When Lin Feng saw the three people standing in the gatehouse, he immediately understood why the smile on his face that was difficult to hide was the reason for it.

Liao Xiang'er, who was becoming thinner, was wearing a white dress, staring at Lin Feng intently, the crystal in her eyes was constantly expanding, and behind her were two elderly people with restrained expressions, as soon as they saw Lin Feng come in, they immediately wanted to kneel, and were pulled by Lin Feng and Liao Xiang'er at the same time.

In the process of stretching out her hand, Liao Xiang'er accidentally touched the back of Lin Feng's hand, her face immediately turned red, and she said anxiously: "Lord Lin, please forgive Xiang'er for taking the liberty of disturbing, my parents have been in Shouzhou for a few days, and they insist on thanking Lord Lin before leaving, so we are not invited, please understand!" ”

Lin Feng gave up the two more fearful old men to their seats, and said with a smile: "That's not right!" The two old men trained Xiang'er so well, and went to Shouzhou to help me with my business, it should be me to say thank you to the two old people! ”

The excited old Liao stood up suddenly, stretched the clothes on his body with both hands, and replied incoherently: "Hello Lord Lin, Xiang'er, let's ...... You recruited Xiang'er and asked her to be the manager of the wonderful shop, Xiang'er has now competed with many men, and we are also high...... Happy! ”

The old woman Liao next to her pulled her wife by the hand, and she blamed him for not being able to say anything.

This comment from the old man is so good! Xiang'er has indeed competed with many boys! Lin Feng smiled, took the teacup from Feng Jingyun's hand, and handed it to the two old men.

Liao Xiang'er stood there quietly, staring at Lin Feng without a moment's notice, her face becoming redder and redder.

"Two old men, I heard that you only have Xiang'er under your knees, have you considered accompanying Xiang'er to Shouzhou to settle down?" Lin Feng looked at the two venerable old men, and suddenly remembered his parents in his previous life, and his tone became softer.

"The old man of my family talked about this in Jinling City, we thought about applying for a job in the factory, and also considered coming to Shouzhou to sell snacks, and I also went out to ask in the past two days, but it seems that now the housing prices in Shouzhou are getting higher and higher, and the rent is rising sharply, and we are afraid that we can't afford to live!" Old woman Liao said in a rough voice, and the old Liao was startled, and secretly pulled his wife's clothes behind his back.

Lin Feng frowned slightly, then raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Please rest assured, two old men, I am planning this matter, and within half a year, Lin will completely solve this matter." I suggest you come back next spring, and you will be sure to be able to live in a house for your family! ”

Liao Xiang'er saw that Feng Jingyun had been at the door twice in a row, although she was very reluctant, she had to stand up, and Wan Fu said: "Lord Lin, you are really busy with work, Xiang'er thank you for taking the time to talk to us, we don't dare to disturb anymore, we leave." ”

Lin Feng looked at the wind and clouds at the door, shook his head and smiled: "The two old men rushed over from Jinling City, why don't I have to accompany the two old men to have a light meal!" Let's go to the snack shop outside the house! ”
