Chapter 220
On the hillside in the distance, dozens of guard soldiers surrounded the county magistrate and others in the center. They held machine guns and watched the surrounding situation vigilantly.
At this time, Wayne and several engineers who had just arrived from other places were holding up drawings and introducing the general situation of the factory building to Lin Hongfei.
"County Lin, please rest assured that we will build the factory and related facilities as scheduled."
"If something goes wrong, you can punish me as you want!" said an engineer confidently.
Lin Hongfei chuckled: "Okay, I will remember this, and then I will see if your engineering team is as powerful as you said."
"You can rest assured that our engineering team has led the construction of many factories and has never made any mistakes." The engineer said.
Lin Hongfei nodded, then looked at Wayne and said, "Wayne, you and the engineering team should confirm the time again. After the factory building is completed, the relevant equipment will be transported to Jiangdu County. I don't want to build an empty factory. .”
Wayne hurriedly said: "Understood, I will follow up on this matter, and the equipment we want has already been shipped from the Lighthouse Country, and it should arrive in China before the factory is completed."
"Besides, before I came to Jiangdu, I met with the shopkeeper Chen Shouting. He is also selecting workers there, and he can send a group of experienced and skilled workers to Jiangdu at any time."
Lin Hongfei nodded with satisfaction: "Very well, Jiangdu County's industrial foundation is too weak, we must hurry up, time waits for no one!"
After chatting for a while, Lin Hongfei originally planned to visit the construction site of the printing and dyeing factory. At this time, a communications soldier hurried over on horseback, and then ran to Lin Hongfei at a fast pace. After saluting, he said:
"Report to the county magistrate, someone from the capital has come to report something important!"
"Ok?"
"Someone from the capital?"
Lin Hongfei was surprised for a moment, and didn't dare to delay any longer. After handing over the matter of inspecting the construction site to Wayne, he hurried back to the county with his guards.
When I came to the county government office, I saw Wu Yongquan and others standing in the front hall, chatting with some strange officers with smiles.
Seeing Lin Hongfei coming in, Wu Yongquan immediately said, "Everyone, this is Lin Hongfei, County Magistrate Lin!"
"Hongfei, these are brothers from the Army Department, and this is Chief Song Huaze!"
Seeing the officer Song Huaze carrying the rank of colonel on his shoulders, Lin Hongfei planned to salute and greet him according to the military rules, but unexpectedly, Song Huaze held Lin Hongfei's hand and said enthusiastically:
"You are brother Lin. I have heard of your name for a long time. When I saw you today, you really are a young talent!"
Lin Hongfei was taken aback by the other party's enthusiasm. If Song Huaze hadn't shown his personal documents to prove his identity, Lin Hongfei might have thought the other party was a liar.
After all, how could there be a dignified colonel who would take the initiative to befriend and talk nicely to a captain.
But immediately, Lin Hongfei's doubts were solved!
"what?"
"The Ministry of the Army appointed me as the guardian envoy of Jiangbei to supervise all military affairs in the seven counties of Jiangbei in Lingnan Province and the Yangtze River waters in Jiangbei?" Lin Hongfei was directly confused.
What are you doing?
I really want to seek the job of Jiangbei Guardian.
However, I never mentioned this matter, how could the higher-ups give me such an important errand?
Is it possible that I have a tacit understanding with the above?
Bullshit!
And he also promoted his military rank directly from captain to colonel.
No wonder Song Huaze, the imperial envoy sent by the Ministry of the Army, was so proactive and enthusiastic about him. In his eyes, he was not a subordinate of a captain at all, but a rank of a colonel.
However, what Song Huaze said next made Lin Hongfei suddenly realize.
"Brother Lin, this time you can be appointed as the guardian of Jiangbei. Chief Qian and Deputy Chief Chen have put in a lot of effort."
"Chairman Qian has been there no less than three or four times to Commander Duan's side alone."
"It's not been a day or two since I've known Mr. Qian, and it's the first time I've seen him so proactively ask for an official." Song Huaze said in amazement.
Hearing this, Lin Hongfei felt a burst of warmth in his heart, and his eyes were slightly moist.
For things that are beneficial to him, the old man can always be ahead of himself, and then quickly put them into action.
The same is true for entering the military academy, entering the army in Lu Province, increasing the number of troops, and stationing in Lingnan.
"I can't finish the kindness of the old man and uncle!" Lin Hongfei couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
At this time, Song Huaze gave Lin Hongfei a letter of appointment for the Jiangbei guard envoy and a promotion order for the rank of colonel to Lin Hongfei, and then enviously said:
"My brother is better than me. When I was your age, I was only a major, and I was in charge of three hundred people."
"It's not like you, brother, the rank of colonel, the guard of Jiangbei, and three thousand soldiers under him, amazing!"
Lin Hongfei said modestly: "Brother Song is too much, Hongfei is nothing more than relying on the shade of the older generation."
"It's not like Brother Song, who made it all by himself with one knife and one gun. This is the real ability!"
Facing the imperial envoy from above, I still have to say polite words.
Of course, in addition to polite words, some practical things must be given to these imperial envoys.
Regardless of whether I can use these people in the future, they are from the Ministry of the Army after all, and it is worth spending some money to develop a few contacts in the highest command organization of the army.
Immediately, Lin Hongfei brought Song Huaze and others to Huixian Building, and found a few companions who could drink.
When Song Huaze and others drank until their faces turned red and their tongues became numb, Lin Hongfei asked Ren Jiu to take them to Yixiang Tower.
And Lin Hongfei also asked Ren Jiu to tell the old bustard in Yixianglou that if he dared to let these imperial servants be infected with flowers, willows, warts, drenches, and plums, he would throw the whole old bustard's family into the hospital. Feed the dog in the cage.
Naturally, the old bustard didn't dare to fool around, and Song Huaze and the others were accompanied by a few clean front men from the brothel, who were out of breath and had sore waists.
The next day, it was still eating, drinking and having fun.
Lin Hongfei found Lao Mei, the shopkeeper of Wanli Casino in Jiangdu County, and asked him to send a few tricksters to accompany Song Huaze and others to play mahjong and push Pai Gow.
The skills of these old thieves are all good. After two days, Song Huaze and others won with a full pocket.
But Song Huaze and the others also knew that with his little gambling skills, he was able to win so much money, and he must have a problem with those people who played mahjong and pushed Pai Gow.
They must have been specially arranged by Lin Hongfei, and the money they wanted to lose to him was also paid by Lin Hongfei.
This way of sending money is very comfortable.
Unlike some people, when they are outsiders, they dare to hand over the banknotes to themselves openly.
Is this to let me collect money, or not to let me collect money!
Isn't this leaving a handle on yourself!
Therefore, Song Huaze and others had a better impression of Lin Hongfei, and their jealousy towards Lin Hongfei who was in a high position at a young age was much less.
Based on the activities they have arranged these days, it is no wonder that they can become the guardian envoy.
Lin Hongfei was very face-saving, and Song Huaze naturally wanted to follow suit.
Before Song Huaze left, he mysteriously handed Lin Hongfei a stack of blank military rank promotion orders, all of which were stamped with the seal of the Ministry of the Army, and the commissioned military rank level was written in advance, only need to write the name, you can It took effect.
The military rank promoted in this way is the real officer, and it is not comparable to the parallel officers appointed by the warlords themselves.
Originally, he planned to sell this thing to He Taikang, the governor of Lingnan Province. This was also a way for the Ministry of War to make money.
But Lin Hongfei's actions made Song Huaze feel that Lin Hongfei was a good person and could handle him!
Besides, the money he got from Lin Hongfei was much higher than He Taikang's previous bid for the commission.
Simply, he gave Lin Hongfei all these blank letters of appointment.
"Brother, this thing has to be taken!"
"Why are your subordinates willing to work with you? It's not for promotion and wealth."
"Based on my brother's financial resources, your subordinates are definitely rich."
"Now there is only one promotion short."
"My brother will help you fill in this promotion!" Song Huaze said with a smile.
Lin Hongfei took the blank letter of appointment and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Song, you have helped me a lot!"
"Haha, we brothers, don't say thank you!"
"If you can use it in the future, brother, just ask!" Song Huaze said boldly!
After some scene talk, Lin Hongfei and Song Huaze parted ways.
Afterwards, Lin Hongfei turned around to look at Wu Yongquan, Guo Lang, Huo Yunshan, Chu Liangyi, Fu Tao and others, waved the letter of appointment in his hand, and said with a smile:
"Brothers, we are going to be promoted!"
