Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 183 It’s better to gather more women

Master Fang was brought back to reality and nodded quickly.

"It has passed the trial stage, and mass production will not be a big problem."

Lin Feng turned and said to Bai Jing.

"Okay, knives, arrowheads, engineer shovels, sabers, and other steel tools all need to be made of this steel. You'll organize it."

"But, what about the medal reward levels that brother mentioned..."

Bai Jing said quickly.

"Oh, by the way, let Wencheng handle that. You should focus on this."

After thinking for a moment, he ordered, "If the production volume increases, even armor will be made of this material, so that the Tartars won't be able to cut it."

Bai Jing followed behind him and just nodded.

Lin Feng felt that he was short of talent at this time.

These soldiers in front of us have no problem fighting.

But when it comes to management, no one is good at it.

Of course, Lin Feng's demands were too high. There was probably no one in the world who could compare with this freak like him.

Bai Jing and Wen Cheng were already extremely intelligent people, but they could only roughly understand his thoughts.

More than ten days later.

Lin Feng brought all the officers in the castle and stood in front of the newly built cemetery.

It was built according to his idea.

There is a stone tablet in front of each cemetery, engraved with the name and achievements of the dead soldiers.

Except for the lack of photos, everything else looks the same as Lin Feng’s grave in his previous life.

Thousands of tombstones are neatly arranged, with a tall tower built in the middle, on which are engraved four large characters.

"A great hero."

The scene is very spectacular.

The farewell ceremony was hosted by Wen Cheng.

All the families of the fallen soldiers were invited to the cemetery to receive salutes from the officers.

Then the pensions, medals and certificates were distributed on the spot.

The families of the fallen soldiers, looking at the real money they received, cried even harder than when they first heard the news of their loved ones' death.

I have never heard of such a government army.

Generally speaking, soldiers who join the army and go to the front line of the battlefield will die and that's it.

If it’s good, you will be notified. If it’s bad, you won’t have anywhere to ask.

But this General Lin Feng in front of him actually gave so much pension money and promised to provide for his retirement and children.

The soldiers who followed him felt warm in their hearts.

Working under a leader like this and being afraid of death is not only unfair to yourself.

This was exactly the effect Lin Feng wanted, and he invited more people and officials to participate.

He wanted to spread the news and attract more people to join his team.

After the ceremony, Lin Feng went to the construction site again.

On the way to the construction site, Lin Feng met Xie Yunling, Zhang Licheng and Lu Shida.

Xie Yunling stretched out his hand to block Lin Feng's way and bowed.

"General Lin, please send someone to escort us to Qingshui County to perform our duties."

Lin Feng frowned and asked, "What duties?"

"Xie has been appointed by General Su as the magistrate of Qingshui County. These two are the lieutenant and the county magistrate of Qingshui County."

"Oh, didn't I tell you to wait until Magistrate Cao finished his official duties?"

"General Lin, General Su has already reported our appointment to the Ministry of Personnel for record. This matter cannot wait any longer."

"Why can't we wait?"

"General Lin, the imperial court has already issued an appointment to the Protectorate. Xie has been appointed as the magistrate of Qingshui County. If any disaster occurs within Qingshui County at this time, it will be blamed on Xie and his men. Therefore, this matter cannot and must not wait any longer."

Lin Feng nodded: "Well, that makes sense. Since it is the appointment of the Protectorate, you can just go and perform your duties. There is no need to report to this general."

Xie Yunling shook her head: "I'm not reporting to General Lin, I just need General Lin to send someone to escort us to our posts."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "This is the first time I've heard that a new official needs to be escorted by government troops. Is your rank sufficient?"

Xie Yunling blushed.

"General Lin, this is wartime. The city is in turmoil, with Tartars and bandits roaming around. How can you allow a few of us, the civil servants, to travel alone?"

Lin Feng frowned and said, "Yes, the current situation is unstable. But I heard that when officials take up their posts, they pay for protection themselves. I wonder if this is true?"

"It is true. How much silver does General Lin need?"

County Lieutenant Zhang Licheng asked angrily.

"How many guards do you need?"

"The Tartar bandits are brutal and cruel. A cavalry unit of at least a hundred men is enough."

Lin Feng nodded and said to Bai Jing beside him.

"Calculate for them how much silver a cavalry of 100 men would need to reach Qingshui County."

Bai Jing suppressed her smile and pondered for a moment.

"General, three hundred taels of silver will be enough."

When Xie Yunling heard this, he became furious.

"What, three hundred taels, why don't you go and rob it?"

Lin Feng quickly advised, "Master Xie, between this money and your life, which is more important? Don't you understand?"

"Of course I can calculate it clearly, but General Lin, have you calculated it clearly? I can afford this responsibility."

Due to habit, most civil officials have a natural contempt for military officials.

Therefore, even though Xie Yunling's level was lower than Lin Feng's, he was not afraid at all.

Lin Feng had a lot to do and didn't want to talk much with them.

Waving his hand, he said, "Alright, as long as you stay in the castle, I'll take care of your safety. Once you leave the castle, you'll be responsible for yourselves."

After saying that, he took Bai Jing and others to the construction site.

Xie Yunling and three others were stunned on the spot.

Asking them to pay three hundred taels is indeed too high a price.

If it were normal times, I would hire a few bodyguards and walk a hundred miles or so.

It is estimated to be only about ten or eight taels of silver.

Even if you hire a hundred escorts or soldiers for the trip, it won't cost more than a hundred taels.

The three of them looked at each other and pondered for a while.

County Lieutenant Zhang Licheng said, "Why don't we find a few wandering knights in the castle, pay them some silver, and have them escort us to Qingshui."

"But what if we encounter the Tartars?"

Lu Shida asked worriedly.

"No, I heard that the Tartars are afraid of Lin Feng now, and there are very few Tartars in Qingshui."

Xie Yunling said thoughtfully.

"Then what are we afraid of? We can just hire fewer people."

"Although the Tartars have stopped coming, there is chaos outside the city. The imperial court is not interested in government affairs, which has led to peasants in many places raising their flags in rebellion and looting everywhere."

Zhang Licheng lowered his voice.

"I heard that several forces have begun to covet Qingshui's wealth."

"With Lin Feng here, who dares to touch the tiger's whiskers?"

"Oh, people are starving everywhere. They are so hungry, what can't they do?"

The three of them gathered together, whispering to each other, but couldn't come up with a solution for a long time.

Lin Feng and others had already arrived at the construction site and watched thousands of laborers working hard.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "Look, now that I have a home and land, I have endless energy to work."

Bai Jing shook her head: "They already have a lot of debts."

"At least there's hope of paying it back, and that gives me hope in life."

Li Xiong also rushed over and stood aside with a smile on his face.

"What the boss said is true. These people are very motivated, but they just eat a lot."

Lin Feng looked at the grand scene and pondered for a moment.

"Alas, there are more men than women among these refugees. We must find a way to recruit some women."

"Brother, what do you want to do?"

"Let them get married and have children. With ties, they'll be more focused and work harder."

Li Xiong sighed, "After the Tartar invasion, they killed too many of our people, and most of the young and strong were taken as slaves. It's not easy to have these people."

Lin Feng shook his head: "Not enough, still not enough."

As they were talking, soldiers came running over.

"Report, General, the cavalry has reported that the Protectorate General Chen Tongpan has been captured by bandits."
