Chapter 107: Chrysalis Cocoons and Qiankun Bags

Since confirming the division of enemy forces outside the city, Lin Feng's mood has also temporarily relaxed completely.

Lin Feng concluded in discussion with his subordinates that according to the current strength comparison between the two sides inside and outside Shouzhou City, before the Zhou army and other parts of Huainan achieved decisive results, and until the Northern War subsided and the second batch of large-scale attacks were launched in Kaifeng after Zhou Tokyo, Shouzhou would maintain a state of no attack or war.

Since ancient times, it has been untenable and unsustainable. The garbage war led by Lin Feng not only wanted to cleanly dispose of all kinds of garbage in the city and prevent the plague from happening at the root, but also wanted to take the trapped people in the city to do something energetic in the dullness and boost their morale.

In a state that is destined to be besieged for a long time, the army is tired, the people are tired, and how many fortified cities are lost after being lost is more because of the loss of the military and the people's hearts, Lin Feng has been thinking about how to make the hearts of the army and the people in the city not lost. However, the garbage in reality is easy to deal with, but the garbage in the mind is not easy to deal with!

After careful consideration, Lin Feng led all the soldiers and civilians to promote three projects in the city:

The first is the large-scale vegetable production campaign, which collects cabbage, radishes and other winter rapeseeds in the city, and then sorts out all the vacant land and abandoned houses in the city, builds simple greenhouses, and starts vegetable planting. In addition, Shouzhou is close to the Huai River, the groundwater is abundant, and the water will come out when the deepest digging is fifteen meters, so that Lin Feng can completely lead everyone to be self-sufficient in some vegetables in winter, preventing everyone's food from being too single and lacking vitamins.

Fang Tai, the "greenhouse expert", took several technical officials to start the city's vegetable planting guidance, teaching the essentials of greenhouse construction and maintenance. Coal, firewood and other materials that had been stored in advance throughout the city were also distributed to the planting sites as needed.

The second is the cultural and entertainment competition. Lin Feng first sorted out the folk games such as Go, rope skipping, juju, and crutches, improved the rules, and vigorously promoted the popular outward bound training games in later generations; Second, members of the Academy of Sciences and grassroots officials of the armed forces were dispatched to organize "street schools" to teach the people all kinds of economic, cultural, military, and scientific knowledge at a fixed time every day at noon. The third is to vigorously advocate the teaching of skills, fully support the opening of Guo Xinxing's Shouzhou Technical School, and organize a large number of free trial courses in advance; The fourth is to organize the cultural Grand Prix, launched various competitions such as paper-cutting, painting, calligraphy, music, poetry, dance, etc., announced that the winners of the class will be rewarded, and selected in advance a group of outstanding people in various industries to give on-site lectures to everyone, so that everyone can find their favorite hobbies and live a more fulfilling life.

Of course, Lin Feng would not advocate strenuous activities now, after all, the total amount of food in the city is limited now, and each person will be rationed according to seventy percent of his daily consumption, and he will never dare to let it go to consume.

The third is the large-scale construction of cities. Lin Feng convened all the officials, military representatives, and street representatives of the city to have a big discussion on the planning and construction inside and outside Shouzhou City.

Before the war, Lin Feng had initiated a national urban planning discussion, which made the whole city very lively for a while. Now that I mention this matter, everyone is a little uninterested. The enemy is under the city, no matter how well it is built, it may be destroyed by fire when you turn around, why bother?!

However, everyone really couldn't resist the high interest of this strange Lin Lord.

Lin Feng convened all the officials, grassroots officials, street representatives and willing people, and spent two days talking about the origin of the city, the development process of the city, the function of the city, the layout of the city, and the future of the city.

Everyone was attracted by Lin Feng's various novel ideas, and then was amazed by all kinds of excellent construction sketches drawn by Lin Feng, and was shocked by Lin Feng's vision of future urban development.

Subsequently, Lin Feng stepped up his efforts, and proposed a competition for urban residents to design their own houses and decoration and a competition for good suggestions for urban construction, proposing that all recognized good ideas and good suggestions will be rewarded with 20 yuan, and those who can adopt them will be rewarded with 100 yuan.

Just think of an idea to make money? Lin Feng's move immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the military and civilians in the city.

It is precisely because of the lively holding of various competitions that the temporary schools that were originally held in the streets and junior military academies have become popular from the lack of interest at the beginning, and more and more people are participating in various studies. Basic courses such as literacy classes, arithmetic classes, choir reading classes, abacus classes, etc., have become very sought-after.

For a while, when the day begins to enter the warmer period of noon, the gates of the streets and squares of the city will instantly become schools. In addition to Lin Feng's personal request for "preaching, teaching, and solving doubts" and "science, questioning, imagination" The thirteen-character slogan must be erected, it is generally simple because of ugliness, and a pitch-black wooden door panel will be used as a lecture board, limestone, yellow mud and other objects are used as "chalk" for lectures, as for the tables and chairs, generally only lecturers have, all students, regardless of men, women, old and young, either sit on the small bench brought from their own homes, or grab a brick with their hands, and there are many who squat directly on the ground. Listen very carefully to the teacher in front of you, big or small.

After each day's lessons, the last two quarters of an hour are devoted to discussion and exchange. Lin Feng personally participated in two lunchtime lectures in the square in front of the Assassin's Mansion, he sat on the small bench like a primary school student, and directly debated with Xi Mucheng, who was teaching that day, at one point, and there was a small dispute, which made the old and young students who were listening sweat, but at the end of the day, he found that the two objects of argument looked at each other and smiled, and they put their arms together, and then they put their hearts at ease. However, because of Lin Feng taking the lead, the participating learners also slowly let go of their minds and gradually dared to ask all kinds of questions.

This culture of learning soon spread, and many soldiers also approached their immediate superiors and offered to participate in this type of study. When these generals reported to Lin Feng, Lin Feng waved his hand, this is a good thing, of course he agreed, and even specially asked all the armies to take turns to arrange for non-duty soldiers to observe.

The arrival of a large number of soldiers and aid experts has made the school site more crowded, and with the convenience of word of mouth, those schools in good locations or with good teachers have become more and more sought-after.

Later, as the on-site discussions became more and more open and the arguments became more and more intense, it became a common phenomenon before the end of the school class to fight over a question or an idea, between a soldier and an old peasant, between a master and a child, between a woman and a man.

However, Lin Feng explained the essence of Robert's rules of procedure one by one in advance, stipulating that everyone can only move, not move, and the two sides of the argument can elect a moderator, and then each of them will organize three of their own supporters to debate with each other, and finally invite all the students on the scene to raise their hands to vote on whose point of view is more suitable.

The scope of the discussion also broadened, no longer limited to the content of the teachers' lectures, and began to involve the current political, economic, cultural and other aspects of the debate, and at this level, those Confucian students and scholars who had originally disdained these "bad schools" could not hold back and joined the debate team. Of course, as an important mouthpiece medium, Shouzhou Business Daily sent a large number of editors and reporters to those large-scale occasions to collect news, and constantly displayed the views of the debates between the two sides to the newspaper, which further promoted the dissemination of these excellent debates.

Inadvertently, the concepts of knowledge, thought, freedom, and ** quietly spread in Shouzhou, imperceptibly affecting everyone in the city.

The period of siege of Shouzhou City lasted for several months, and there were many thematic debates in history, and the pro-Lin faction believed that Lin Feng took the opportunity of being besieged, like a chrysalis cocoon, to transform himself and promote the emergence of a great Shouzhou; The anti-Lin faction insisted that Lin Feng did not hesitate to start a war to achieve his political and economic ambitions, which was very hateful, and this method was absolutely undesirable and could never be replicated.

Later, when the cocoon theory reached Lin Feng's ears, Lin Feng was slightly stunned, and suddenly laughed, and others curiously asked the reason, but Lin Feng, who was laughing and tearful, shook his head and avoided it.

Because of this moment, in response to the activities that he deliberately organized after Shouzhou was besieged, he successfully promoted Shouzhou and even the world to ** and freedom, but the first metaphor that came to Lin Feng's mind was that Zhang Wuji was put into a Qiankun bag by a cloth bag monk in Jin Yong's famous book "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and he practiced Jiuyang Zhengong by mistake.
