"That's a long story, why don't we talk as we go?" Zhang Xin saw that Wang Hao's heart was moved, and he knew that his task had been half successful, and he was immediately happy.

In fact, before telling Wang Hao, he didn't think that Wang Hao might give up this great opportunity, no matter who he was, unless he was brain-dead.

With the addition of Zhang Xin and his subordinates, this team suddenly had a new atmosphere, and no one dared to fight the idea of this team anymore.

On the way, Wang Hao carefully asked Zhang Xin about the details of the village's promotion to the town.

It's complicated to say, but in fact, there are just a few things to sum up.

One is population. It is a big leap from the village to the town, originally Wang Hao considered that it is very likely that the population needs to reach more than 1000 to be able to reach the standard of the town, but he did not expect that only 800 population is enough, from the situation reflected by Li Jiayi, with the addition of this group of new villagers, the total population of the village has already exceeded the standard of 800 people, and even more than 1000 people, and the population condition has been directly passed.

The second is the military. Although it is said that the village also has a certain ability to protect itself, in fact, it is not military, and the traps and the like that Wang Hao made cannot be counted. In order to meet the standards of the town level, it is necessary to have a decent military force, which can be divided into two aspects: on the one hand, there must be a regular army, the requirements are not high, one team is enough, that is, there must be fifty soldiers; On the other hand, there must be a city wall, which is easier to understand, which town is open on all sides, and there is no city wall at all, which Wang Hao and Li Jiayi were negligent before. However, Wang Hao summed it up, these two points should not be a problem, they are nothing more than spending money, and now Wang Hao is not bad for money.

The third is the economy. At first glance, when he heard this condition, Wang Hao thought that it would be measured by the tax in the village, but the result was not, because Zhang Xin said that the tax actually reflects the problem of population, and it is not the same concept as the economy. To meet the town's minimum standards, a minimum of ten commercial buildings are required. Wang Hao calculated, if the teahouse, restaurant, and brewery are all counted, then there are three now, and it seems that it is not difficult to build another seven, but the talent problem is a big trouble.

Fourth, people's livelihood. Wang Hao feels that this is a very, very cheating setting, and there is no one. To go from village to town, it is necessary to upgrade all the simple buildings to ordinary buildings, Wang Hao casually pinched his fingers, not to mention other special buildings, there are thousands of simple houses in the village alone, although I don't know what the conditions for upgrading are - Zhang Xin doesn't know - but thinking about such a large amount is by no means a money-saving thing. After hearing this condition, Wang Hao instantly felt that his little savings really couldn't withstand such a toss. In addition, there must be a private school, a medical center and other livelihood buildings in the village, and the private school already has one, and the medical center obviously has to find a doctor, hey!

The first four are already very troublesome, but there is a fifth point.

The fifth point is that Zhang Xin believes that the most important point is that the village must have official recognition if it wants to be promoted to a town. In other words, without official recognition, no matter how well the village develops, it is just a village, and it is impossible to become a town. In peacetime, it is very, very difficult for a village to replace a town, and for the authorities, there are already towns, so why should the original town be abolished and a new town set up, it is impossible without sufficient reasons.

But the war years were different, Pingwang Town is a good example, the town is in the hands of the rebels, if the officials and soldiers want to take it back, it may cost a lot of money, and if you support a village that basically meets the original conditions, it will not cost much.

Of course, there is also a detail involved in this, which is that the village must have more than half of the support of all the other villages in the original town. According to the current situation in Pingwang Town, there are eight villages in addition to Taoyuan Village, which means that Taoyuan Village must have the support of at least five villages. Now that there are already four villages on Taoyuan Village's side, it is obviously not a big problem to add another one, not to mention that Wang Hao feels that when he goes back and cleans up the Four Villages Alliance, no village in Pingwang Town will oppose him, and it will be a natural thing to ascend to the town at that time, and the original Pingwang Town will be isolated and become Pingwang Village sooner or later.

After listening to Zhang Xin's narration, Wang Hao had to admit that this time Zhang Xin really sold a lot of favors to himself, and he couldn't admit his favor if he didn't want to. But at the same time, Wang Hao was a little puzzled, why did Zhang Xin take so much care of himself, and the two didn't seem to have such a good relationship, if he didn't figure this out, Wang Hao always felt a little unsure.

"Zhang Dubo, thank you for your trouble, but I'm curious, why did you choose Taoyuan Village?" Wang Hao knew that when Zhang Xin left, although the development momentum of Taoyuan Village was not bad, there was still a big gap from the conditions for the promotion of the town mentioned above, in other words, no matter which village the official wanted to support, the price spent would not be much different.

"You also know, I haven't been here for long, I don't know the other village chiefs, but the last time the rebels invaded, thanks to the care of the village chief Wang, I had prepared in advance, and I was quite grateful," This sentence is the truth, it wasn't Wang Hao's reminder at the beginning, the rebels suddenly attacked the city, and he, the Dubo, was probably going to die on the battlefield, and it was best to become a prisoner of the ranks, saying that he was not grateful to Wang Hao in his heart, but gratitude alone was not enough, the key was that there was a huge interest drive in this, "Don't hide it from the village chief Wang, If Taoyuan Village can be successfully promoted to the town this time, and Pingwang Town is forced to descend to the village, Zhang Mou will also have a share of the credit. ”

Wang Haoxin said, this credit is what you value the most! However, things don't seem to be that simple, "What is the matter with forcing Pingwang Town to the village?" ”

"Oh, that's right! If a village is upgraded to a town, the original town must regain the support of the villages under its jurisdiction or break through the new town within a year, otherwise it will be automatically demoted to a village. Zhang Xin explained.

"In other words, within a year, the defenders of Pingwang Town will launch an attack on us?" Wang Hao asked with a dark face.

"Yes, so to speak!" Zhang Xin nodded.
