Chapter 72: A Short and Easy Project
There are quotas for each hundred people. In addition to the old and weak who go to the vegetable garden and the daily rest, Wu Song also extracted 50 police officers with rich experience and formed a casual patrol team, who were directly responsible for the secret investigation of some cases. In this way, there are actually only 80 people. During the day, the five cities are on duty and in the evening, the two cities are on duty.
The patrol efforts have been greatly strengthened, focusing on outside the city, especially in rural areas and towns, focusing on cracking down on theft, robbery, trafficking of women and children, local tyrants, evil gentry, gangsters, bullies and bullies, and other things that the people react the most strongly.
However, in three or five days, the most obvious feeling of the people of Yunzhou is why there are more policemen at once. From cities to villages, everything is prone to danger. Patrols are everywhere. These policemen are dressed in uniform, holding water and fire sticks, carrying waist knives, and 20 people in a row, queuing back and forth.
The thieves and thieves in the Yunzhou City area are over. In a few days, seven or eight gangs that bully the market, five or six gangs of cattle and sheep, and many thieves who steal chickens and dogs were also arrested. For a time, the Dongping Prefecture Prison was almost unable to contain it.
Cheng Wanli was busy building construction and did not bother to interrogate and was temporarily detained in a cell.
The weather gradually became warmer, and it was February that Wu Song was worried about the farming in Wujiazhuang and decided to go back and take a look. That night, Wu Song was rescued in the police camp and invited seven Dutou, eight Dutou, which was not bad. Originally, there were seven. Wu Song promoted a thin man named Yang Yun as a plainclothes policeman, and was responsible for secret patrol. He made great contributions in just a few days and solved several cases of stealing oxen. Theft of oxen was a major case during the Northern Song Dynasty.
Except for the newly promoted Yang Yun, the other seven were all a little scared. The comprehensive evaluation has been around for more than ten days. I wonder which two of them will be removed by this martial commander.
Wu Song said: "I have worked hard for you all this time. How can I arrest the police without patrol? After more than ten days of observation, you have tried your best and worked very hard. For the time being, you will not eliminate both of them. Lei Ming and Lei are skilled in bowing and horses, and work hard. I decided to promote him to the deputy commander. Can you agree?"
Seeing that there was no risk of elimination, everyone dared not to stroke the tiger's beard, and immediately said, "The commander and commander are fair in doing things, and Lei Dutou's martial arts are extraordinary, I agree."
Lei Ming immediately bowed: "Lei Ming will definitely not disappoint the adults."
Wu Song said: "When you are not in the camp in the future, Lei Ming will be responsible. Lei Ming's original position as the head of the capital will be replaced by Shi Tiehan. I hope you can cooperate more and maintain the security of Dongping Prefecture steadily. Prefect Cheng is one of the few good officials, so don't let him down."
"Don't worry, sir, we must do our best." Everyone said.
Early the next morning, Wu Song taught the policemen's fists and kicks in the morning exercises. At this time, a yamen runner came to the prefect's mansion. Lord Cheng asked Wu Song to come to the mansion for something.
Wu Songxin jumped up with no reason. At the Zuiyuelou Inn in Quancheng and his daughter, forget it, don’t think about this, Wu Song rode a horse and quickly came to the government office with the yamen runners. Lord Cheng had been working long ago, and it seemed that he had been getting up for a while.
Master Cheng said, "Erlang is here. You have only been in office for more than ten days. The police officers in Dongping Prefecture, which have been in order, have improved public security significantly."
"My lord has over-rewarded, and Wu Song just does his best. It is not difficult to start, but it is difficult to maintain it." Wu Song said.
Cheng Daren said: "Although planting and afforestation and developing handicrafts can produce benefits, it is difficult to achieve results in the short term. Erlang is knowledgeable, but what short and fast projects are there?"
Wu Song thought for a while and said, "Chicken, duck and geese breeding are relatively fast. Now it starts to raise, and can be sold in winter. Farmers with difficult farming can only solve many problems. In addition, there are many open fields that are difficult to grow crops in the fields. Pumpkin yields are high, and people with difficult people grow dozens of trees and bear more than a hundred fruits. It is enough to survive the winter with a small amount of grain. In addition, sorghum is harvested in autumn, and carrots can be planted once after the millet. If it is cold late, it will be fine to harvest one or two thousand kilograms per mu in two months of that year."
"Pumpkins, carrots, good things. Erlang is such a good idea, knowledgeable and talented." Master Cheng praised.
"This is experience. In the past, my brother Dalang planted hundreds of pumpkins on the fields every year. After the beginning of autumn, the pumpkins grew very large, six or seven kilograms, or even ten kilograms. Each one can grow three or five, and hundreds of pumpkins are piled up in half a house, which is enough for a winter. Moreover, this thing can also raise pigs and feed chickens, which is a good thing. As for carrots, there are many uses, such as cooking, making dried carrots, making pickles, or cooking them directly to survive the famine."
Lord Cheng wrote down this good plan. Shandong region is rich in pumpkins and carrots. People often use this to survive the famine, which is worth promoting.
"Although pumpkins and carrots are good, they are just filling their stomachs. Is there any way to make the economy live in the short term? Dongping Mansion needs too much money. It requires money for repairing rivers, building official roads, and poverty alleviation," said Cheng Gong.
Wu Song scratched his head. He was not an economist, so he knew so much that agriculture and handicraft development all require a process.
"Yes, I saw that the west of Yunzhou City was not against a big lake. There was a small hill by the lake full of peach blossoms. The season was very beautiful. Let's hold a Dongpingfu Peach Blossom Festival. Of course, watching peach blossoms is just a gimmick. At the same time, a large-scale temple fair and a competition for the competition were held. Shandong folk martial arts are good, and it is just a need for guidance. Just set up a few awards to attract many martial arts practitioners."
"It's so good, it can be held. This Peach Blossom Festival doesn't take too long. It's only seven days. Guests who come from afar have to stay in a hotel, eat, and buy some local specialties from our Dongping Prefecture. Isn't this economy instantly revitalized? It's just that the time is short and the task is heavy. Peach Blossoms will bloom in about one month. If the publicity is not in place, it may be difficult to do it. Your cart and pedestrians flow everywhere, and the publicity task will be handed over to you Erlang."
Wu Song complained: "It's not easy to promote this. It's the first one. It's not well-known. I'm afraid I don't know how many pictures are just drawing pictures. In addition, the cost of distributing poster pictures is also quite expensive."
"Don't worry, Erlang, why did our mansion treat you badly? There is a wasteland by the lake, with more than 3,000 acres of rocks, and there is no chance to plant crops. However, it is also a huge profit to plant willow trees. I will allocate it to you. After the Peach Blossom Festival is completed, I will give you this land deed."
