Chapter 560: Inspecting the Militia (for a silver ticket)
"Master, according to your request, Heyang's city gates are now open only four times, one in each direction. If the refugees violate the law in the city, the crime will be increased to one level. In serious cases, they will not wait for the court's review and will be sentenced to death directly.
.At present, the public security in the city is stable, and the people have no complaints and are very supportive of your arrangements."
In the Heyang government office, Lin Tieniu stood beside Jiang Fan and reported to Jiang Fan some changes in Heyang City during this period.
The imperial edict from Jinling was notified to the entire Zhou Dynasty yesterday.
At present, the entire Heyang government office naturally respects Jiang Fan, the guardian of the city.
However, the previous city guard, Gu Yan, had been out of business for quite some time, so this change of position did not cause any turmoil in the government office.
It was just that Jiang Fan's control over Heyang City was justified.
"Well, from today on, all government affairs in Heyang City will be handled by Mr. Chen. You can be freed from these tedious affairs. Come with Wanqing and stay with me."
Jiang Fan pointed at Chen Ang, who was sitting beside him, and said.
Tie Newton was overjoyed and said: "Really? That's great, young master! Let me tell you, I've been annoyed by these inexplicable things for a long time. If I weren't afraid of you scolding me, I would have given up the fight with you!"
"
Jiang Fan ignored him, but turned around and cupped his hands towards Chen Ang, and said with a smile: "Then I will have to trouble Mr. Chen to take care of you. I will specially arrange a few clan members to be responsible for protecting you, Mr. Chen.
For your safety, if you have any questions, you can directly ask the police officers in the government office. All the police officers are our own."
"Then...where are the head catchers and the chief catcher?"
Chen Ang asked.
"Those people have always been quite honest, so I didn't touch them. Apart from receiving regular salaries, they stay at home most of the time and have no impact."
Jiang Fan said.
"Well, I will find an opportunity to remove them all. The head catcher and the chief arrester can play a very important role in maintaining law and order in the city, and they should not be wasted in the hands of those who have nothing to do with their bodies. These are extraordinary times.
, the imperial edict also said that you have the right to make temporary decisions on Heyang City for the time being. Even the officials in Heyang City can be appointed and removed by yourself. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity and replace all the people who should be replaced, it will be terrible.
It’s such a waste.”
Chen Ang said with a smile.
"Mr. Chen can just do whatever he wants. I have no objections to these things. The only requirement is that Heyang City must be stable. The lives of the people of Heyang cannot be greatly affected. In addition, the daily consumption of materials in the city must be
Let’s do some statistics. Now that the Northland is in chaos, it is difficult to guarantee the supply of materials in Heyang. We need to find a way on our own."
Jiang Fan said.
"Don't worry, I'll start to sort this out in the next few days."
"Okay, Mr. Chen will be busy first. I will go out of the city to see how the training results of the militia are. Tieniu, you stay and explain to Mr. Chen."
Jiang Fan nodded towards Chen Ang, stood up and left the office.
Hong Qigong had already returned to the house, so Su Xiaonuan and Lin Wanqing were by Jiang Fan's side at this time.
During this period, Xianrenzui’s sales declined severely.
Due to the chaos in the north, although Heyang City is relatively stable and has not been affected much, both ordinary people and wealthy families are very uneasy.
Under such circumstances, those who had some extra money at home would basically use it to buy food and save it.
As for things like Immortal Drunkenness, it was naturally a rare treat in times of peace, but now... where is the food that matters?
Let alone the immortal being drunk, even extremely cheap wine like Heyang Daqu can no longer be sold.
He led Su Xiaonuan and Lin Wanqing through the city until they left the city gate. Jiang Fan frowned and said, "I saw at least four of the ten shops in the city were closed, and most of the people on the street looked sad.
Full face. This is not okay, let alone the war has not really started yet, even if it has started, Heyang cannot become depressed. This is our foundation! The more prosperous Heyang is, the stronger our foundation will be."
Su Xiaonuan and Lin Wanqing looked at each other, scratched their heads, and said, "Master, I understand what you are saying, but... how should we do it specifically?"
"It is still necessary to stimulate business and economic circulation. Let's take a look at the training results of the militia. If it has reached the standard, a group of people will be specially selected from the militia to form the official escort team of our Heyang City. All rivers
Merchants in Yang can hire this team to ensure the safety and smooth flow of their own trade routes."
Jiang Fan thought for a while and then said: "We have to go back and discuss with Mr. Chen about the specific preparations. We must ensure that things from outside can enter Heyang smoothly, and things from Heyang can also be sent outside smoothly. Only commodities
Only when it circulates can the economy be vigorous and people can have money in their hands."
"Then...what should we do with food? Master, now there is indeed a large amount of food stored in the granaries of the rich families and the Qian family, but the rations in the homes of ordinary people are not that much. At present, more and more food is still being sold in the city.
If there is less, food will no longer be delivered from other places. Over time, problems will easily arise."
Su Xiaonuan asked.
"As long as we survive this winter and wait until the spring planting days, the food problem will naturally be solved. As for how to survive this winter... it depends on how the situation in the Northern Territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty develops."
Jiang Fan said rather generally.
The three of them soon arrived at the farm provided by the Qian family outside the city specifically for training militiamen.
When he was still a few hundred meters away from the farm, Jiang Fan clearly saw that the entire farm had been transformed into a fairly standard military camp!
The square fence completely surrounded the military camp. Every ten steps, there was a soldier, holding a spear in one hand and standing upright with his head held high.
At each of the four corners of the military camp, a lookout tower with a height of about ten meters was built.
There is also a soldier standing on each lookout tower, with binoculars hung on their chests for warning.
Of course Jiang Fan brought these binoculars from his own world.
It is not a military product, but a civilian product with extremely ordinary effects.
But even so, when I first took it over, it was enough to surprise everyone around me.
It took a full day of familiarization to allow the Lin family to adapt to the extended visual abilities brought about by the telescope, and Hong Qigong reacted the most violently.
Because from a military perspective, the existence of this telescope is simply a cheating artifact for the war in this world!
Jiang Fan originally thought about whether he could get some arms to turn his army into a modern force.
But the domestic control is too strict. Even if you have connections with the Jian family, if you want to get one or two small-caliber pistols to play with, there may be no problem, but if you want to get arms on a large scale, it is pure nonsense.
.
When we arrived at the main entrance of the military camp, the soldiers on guard on the left and right naturally knew Jiang Fan.
So after saluting Jiang Fan in unison, they continued to look straight at him and maintained their motionless posture on guard.
