Devil's Army

Wild Wolf went to Tieling County Military Camp from the Special Operations Team to find Leng Feng. Leng Feng told Wild Wolf what he meant. Wild Wolf thought for a moment and said:

"Tieling County now does not have the business environment of our previous society, whether in terms of hardware or software. It is unscientific for us to plan the development of Tieling County based on the previous perspective. It is best to ask someone who is familiar with the situation of Tieling County to arrange the planning of Tieling County so that we can cooperate better."

Leng Feng thought it made sense and asked Yelang to contact some of the former businessmen and celebrities in Tieling County and hold a military-business meeting in the military camp at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss how to build a brand new Tieling County that is full of vitality and vigor.

The First Army had previously managed Tieling County and had a very good reputation. Many merchants and celebrities who had businesses or wanted to buy businesses had gathered in the military camp early on.

At the meeting, everyone put forward many practical methods and suggestions, and Leng Feng asked people to write them down one by one.

At the end of the meeting, it was proposed to build a street with shops and a street with stalls without shops. Some merchants wanted to subscribe to the shops on the spot.

They believed that the First Army managed Tieling County without causing any harm, the people's lives were stable, the flow of people would definitely increase, and business would definitely get better and better.

Leng Feng stopped the merchants who were trying to buy the storefronts, saying that a public subscription meeting would be held after the storefronts were completed. The highest bidder would win, and there would be no private auction.

A businessman who had a shop destroyed in this battle said dissatisfiedly: "I used to have a tailor shop in a good location. The business was good. Now it was blown up by the Japanese. I wanted to rebuild it myself. But now the army does not allow me to rebuild it myself. It requires unified planning and reconstruction. What should I do? I am losing a lot of money, right?"

Leng Feng told him confidently: "Private reconstruction is not allowed because everyone rebuilds according to their own wishes. Then the entire Tieling County will be built with buildings of inconsistent heights and sizes. The entire county will look ugly. As long as he can provide proof of his original shop, the army will give him a shop near the original location for free. He won't lose money."

The tailor shop owner sat down with satisfaction.

The military-business meeting ended in a lively and pleasant atmosphere.

After the meeting, many businessmen and celebrities rushed to invite Leng Feng to dinner, but Leng Feng refused them all. He didn't want to leave any evidence against him, and he didn't want them to use the so-called backdoor.

But he couldn't refuse the invitation from a jewelry store owner.

He proposed that the county leadership team be formed by an old county magistrate from the Northeast Army period.

The old county magistrate was honest and upright, and devoted to the people. He enjoyed high prestige among the people of Tieling County.

When the Japanese occupied Tieling County, they invited him to be the county magistrate, but he had a cold at the time and refused on the grounds of being ill.

Who would have thought that the Japanese would send a military doctor to treat him at home and prescribe cold medicine for him to take on the spot.

He took the medicine on the spot, and deliberately did not cover himself with a blanket when sleeping at night, so he caught a cold. As a result, his condition kept recurring. The Japanese military doctor diagnosed that he was old and had poor resistance, so his condition kept recurring.

Finally, the Japanese had to give up and chose a less famous pro-Japanese person as the county magistrate. The old county magistrate then took his wife to live in the countryside.

"There is such a person. This old county chief is the best candidate for the county chief of Tieling County." Leng Feng said happily: "We will visit him in the afternoon."

"It's just that the old county magistrate has a rather stubborn personality, and it's hard to convince him of something he doesn't agree with," said the jewelry store owner a little worriedly.

"It's okay. Everything depends on human effort. You can stay in the barracks and have a simple meal together. We will set out together after one o'clock."

The jewelry store owner readily agreed. He became the only businessman who had dinner with Leng Feng after the meeting, and everyone envied him.

After one o'clock, since the businessman was not used to riding a horse, Leng Feng took a carriage with him, and a small team of guards followed on horseback behind the carriage to visit the old county magistrate.

When they arrived, the jewelry store owner knocked on the door of a house.

With a creak, the door opened, and the person who opened the door was the old county magistrate.

"Mr. Dong, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?" The jewelry store owner greeted the old county magistrate as soon as he saw him.

"It's okay, Boss He. What brings you here?"

"Guifeng, a gust of Guifeng blew me here." Then Boss He introduced Leng Feng to the old county magistrate, "This is Commander Leng of the First Anti-Japanese Army. It was they who took Tieling County back from the devils. Commander Leng would like to invite you to serve as the county magistrate of the new Tieling County."

"I am too old to do this anymore." The old county chief had lived through the Qing Dynasty, the warlord separatist period, and the Japanese occupation period. Weren't all these periods equally dark? He was already disappointed.

"Hey, the old county magistrate is now in good health and in good spirits. He can still serve the people." Leng Feng responded.

"All crows are black. It's difficult to serve the people." The old county magistrate shook his head.

"What color is crow's blood?"

"Of course it's also red." The old county magistrate responded in confusion.

"That's right, the crow is all black, but doesn't it have bright red blood flowing inside?"

The old county magistrate looked at Leng Feng without saying anything.

"You can stop being the county magistrate and be an observer to see whether the construction of our new Tieling County is reasonable and whether the sky is also black. Then consider whether to be the county magistrate of Tieling County and serve the people."

"Okay, I'll think about it." The old county magistrate did not completely reject Leng Feng.

Boss He exchanged pleasantries with the old county magistrate for a while before returning to Tieling County with Leng Feng.
