Since July 16, Lin Feng began to receive "three facts" opinions from various counties and all parties in Shouzhou City.

Half of the opinion letters sent by the people in the whole territory of Shouzhou are the same as those of Zhou Laohan of Mingxin Street, hoping to send people to clean the streets for free for a long time and maintain hygiene; As for the others, some of them were as small as asking Lin Feng to come forward to solve their homestead disputes with their neighbors, and to report some trivial things about the neighbors' dishonesty, and the big ones were just mentioning that they hoped to be exempted from all kinds of taxes forever, which made Lin Feng sigh in his heart, even if these people gave them the right to self-management, they still did not have the ideology and ideological consciousness of self-management.

Among the opinions of Rushan, there were only two that made Lin Feng's eyes light up.

The author of the first letter is called Chen Yanxing, the author is likely to be an old school teacher, and he argues that Shouzhou has a strong learning atmosphere since ancient times, but time has passed, and now the style of study in Shouzhou is not strong, the ancient style is difficult to find, and there are many out-of-school children among the people. Lin Feng highlighted the comments on the letter and put it aside.

The other letter was written by a villager named Zhang Xiong, who pointed out in his opinion letter that from the inference of historical development trends, and combined with everything Lin Feng did after coming to Shouzhou, he believed that Shouzhou might be the center of the war with the Northern Zhou State in the future. However, if there is no large number of foreign reinforcements after the start of the war, this army alone will not be enough to stop the north, in a word, there are too few soldiers! Zhang Xiong suggested that Lin Feng mobilize the strength of the people of the whole city and the whole territory, so that everyone could pick up a knife to kill the enemy at that time. At the same time, it was suggested that Lin Feng start from now on, starting from the south bank of the Huai River, establish a cascade defensive position, and carry out defensive transformation of Shouzhou City, and defeat the enemy step by step, so as to ensure that Shouzhou can block the enemy's thunderous blow.

Lin Feng was greatly amazed by this person's strategic and tactical vision, and specially asked Zhao Zanting, the military commander, to visit this person privately. Soon, Zhao Zanting came to report, saying that Zhang Xiong, who is now 37 years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, is currently taking his three eldest sons to participate in the training of village soldiers, and the four of them have great strength and training is also very serious, and Zhang Xiong has shown extreme courage in the simulation training.

Lin Feng sighed with his palms, and specially wrote a short letter to Cheng Yuehai, who was in charge of the township soldiers, asking him to focus on cultivating Zhang Xiong's father and son.

However, what Lin Feng didn't know was that this Zhang Xiong was also a figure who left a name in history.

In the original history, when four years later, when Chai Rong sent a large army to invade Huainan, because their homes were destroyed, the common people formed a group to reject the Zhou division and called themselves righteous soldiers. And Zhang Xiong's subordinates made the greatest contribution, and Li Jing, the Yuanzong of the Southern Tang Dynasty, specially appointed him as the leader of the rebel army.

Wait until the Southern Tang Dynasty was defeated, cede the land and pay compensation, and move the capital. Zhang Xiong once served as the assassin of Yuanzhou and Tingzhou. Later, when Li Yu was in charge and faced the Later Zhou army, Zhang Xiong was promoted to the commander of the army. In the face of a strong enemy, Zhang Xiong told his sons: "I will die in the country, and if you don't die from me, you will not be loyal and filial!" His sons wept and received their orders, and the Later Zhou general Tian Qinzuo fought in Lishui, the battle was defeated, the other generals fled, and more than 10,000 soldiers died, but Zhang Xiong and his children fought hard, and all died on the battlefield. In the end, none of the eight fathers and sons of the Zhang family survived, but at that time, Jinling City in the Southern Tang Dynasty had been besieged, and the country was in danger, and Li Yu did not care about rewarding them, but their deeds touched the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the people of the country mourned.

During this period, Lin Feng also focused on checking the letters of Anfeng, Huoqiu, and Huoshan counties under Shouzhou, and the heads of these counties seemed to have discussed in advance, and put forward three practical things in unison, such as the construction of farmland and water conservancy facilities, the establishment of welfare homes, and the repair of dilapidated houses in the city, which made Lin Feng can't help but suspect that they have secretly connected with each other.

Every two days, Lin Feng will make time to call Lu Jiang and Wu Qiao to help summarize and sort out the opinions of the people, submit major matters to the three governments for discussion, and directly prepare replies for small matters.

On the evening of July 20, when Lin Feng once again handed over the sorted out content to Wu Qiao for publication, Wu Qiao, who was temporarily appointed by Lin Feng as the "editor-in-chief" of "Shouzhou Business Daily", looked at the content and said with some doubts: "Lord Lin, is this content suitable for public announcement?" ”

Lin Feng said a little strangely: "What content is not suitable?" ”

Wu Qiao tapped twice on the paper and said softly: "Do you have to go to the newspaper for a small thing like cleaning the streets?" ”

Lin Feng shook his head and pointed at Wu Qiao and said: "You completely misunderstood, cleaning the streets will be an extremely important thing in our Shouzhou, and the key to these changes we have launched in Shouzhou is to abide by the rules and emphasize cleanliness." Abide by the rules, we have the book of credit and the "Shouzhou Business Daily" reputation special edition, and the cleanliness will start from sweeping the streets! ”

These are by no means Lin Feng's inventions, but the practice of copying the "New Life Movement" of Comrade Jiang during the Republic of China.

In 1934, Chiang Kai-shek launched the New Life Movement in Nanchang to "eliminate the habits of our people who are not in line with the times and the environment, and make them tend to live in line with the times and the environment." Its greatest purpose is to "make food, clothing, housing and transportation conform to courtesy, righteousness and shame, and use the six principles of neatness, cleanliness, simplicity, simplicity, rapidity, and certainty to cultivate militarization (indomitable), production (dedication), and rationalization (love and sincerity) of life." ”

It has to be said that this new life movement is a long-term layout that has imperceptibly changed the habits of the Chinese people. It is a pity that Comrade Chiang's energy was then diverted by the cause of suppressing bandits, which was in full swing, and three years later, the country encountered another Japanese invasion, and the New Life Movement was soon abandoned, which is really a great regret in the history of China's development.

Wu Qiao was still a little confused: "Can such a small thing make such a big difference?" ”

Lin Feng patiently explained: "It is the most difficult to change people's minds! We can only start step by step, starting from the details, starting from the small things, starting from the outside, and the most behind and the inside. If the streets are clean, some people will feel that their homes are too dirty, and there will be people who will feel that their bodies are too dirty, and then there will be people who will slowly feel that their living habits are too bad, and some people will slowly exercise to make themselves stronger, and finally achieve the goal of strengthening the people's body and spirit. ”

Lu Jiang slapped Wu Qiao with a smile and reminded beside him: "Brother, you don't know what to do!" Lord Lin's layout in cleaning the streets is far more than that, maybe one day, the whole country will change from this time to clean the streets! You do what Lord Lin tells you to do directly! ”

Lin Feng knew that Lu Jiang was pointing out the practice of self-management of Xin Street to promote street cleaning, and he did not break it, and he smiled silently.

Wu Qiao shook his head embarrassedly and continued to ask, "Then is the opinion on Yixue also published?" Will some people say that we are accusing Shouzhou and even our Datang of not paying attention to education before, for fear that they will take the opportunity to slander and slander us and maliciously attack our colleagues. ”

Lin Feng shook his head and reprimanded with hatred: "My brother Wu, how can you do things perfectly?!" You have forgotten the purpose of our establishment of "Shouzhou Business Daily" "objective and fair"! I ask you to remember that you must maintain integrity in everything, that is, you must have a neutral attitude, write whatever history is, write whatever reality is, and finally do what Sima Qian said, 'no false beauty, no hidden evil'! This is exactly Sima Qian's view on how to record history, which was borrowed by Lin Feng.

Wu Qiao's face turned red, bowed down, and retreated with the paper.
