Chapter 200 Too Few Talents
After Ross, Bender and others came to Jiangdu County, they only took a day off before starting related work.
Although the bandits in Jiangdu County had been wiped out by Lin Hongfei, for the sake of safety, he still sent two companies to protect the safety of these four people.
On the way, Lin Hongfei would discuss with these four people from time to time about building factories, mining, and docks.
Coupled with other work in the county government, Lin Hongfei basically has no rest time.
At this time, Lin Hongfei realized that he didn't have many available people on hand.
There is no need to worry too much about the military. Wu Yongquan and Guo Lang are enough to manage the independent regiment well.
Moreover, after the conscription work in Jiangdu County was over, Lin Hongfei found an opportunity to take out all the weapons he had signed in over the years and put them in a warehouse, and handed them over to Chu Liangyi, the Military Supplies Department of the Independent Regiment.
As for the Military Judiciary Division and the Engineer Company under Huo Yunshan's jurisdiction, they have done a good job.
But Lin Hongfei is currently in short supply of talents in internal affairs.
Originally, there were many officials and cadres in the internal affairs system of Jiangdu County.
But the working ability of these people can't be said to be useless, it can only be said to be the anger of both humans and gods.
Not only that, but most of them also have the bad habits of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and they are also involved a lot with the local gentry in Jiangdu County.
Asking these people to help them deal with internal affairs is simply asking for trouble.
Therefore, after some screening, Lin Hongfei only left a small number of low-level officials.
For the rest, Lin Hongfei didn't fire him. He directly deprived them of their rights, lowered their salaries, and arranged them in some Qingshui yamen, forcing them to pack up and leave.
Anyway, Lin Hongfei didn't say to fire them, they wanted to leave by themselves!
Justified and justified!
As for selecting a group of internal affairs personnel from the people of Jiangdu County, Lin Hongfei gave up the idea after thinking about it.
As an outsider, he does not intend to reuse some locals prematurely, so as not to form a local faction in the end.
After much deliberation, Lin Hongfei planned to write a letter to his old contacts, asking them to help find and recommend a few people to come over.
Such things as writing letters can actually be entrusted to the clerks and staff under his command.
But Lin Hongfei felt that he was asking for help after all, or writing the letter himself, which seemed more sincere.
Therefore, for three or four days in a row, Lin Hongfei wrote many letters to Qian Minghe, Chen Fengchang, Xu Chengping, Chen Shouting, Li Jinlong and others, and then sent someone to send them as quickly as possible.
As for whether he could find a few geniuses from the sky, Lin Hongfei didn't have much hope. After all, Jiangdu County was a small county, and only a genius from the sky would be interested in it.
Therefore, Lin Hongfei was very satisfied to be able to send some people who had gone to middle school and had some basic qualities.
After all, in this day and age, being able to read and write is considered a top student.
That's enough, what more bikes are needed!
After the letter was sent, Lin Hongfei waited patiently for a reply, and during this period, Ross, Bender and others' investigation of Jiangdu County also came to an end.
First of all, Ross and Bender, these two people basically lived in the coal mine for some days, sometimes Lin Hongfei went to visit them, and it happened that they had just come up from the mine, and they were as black as Africans of.
And Chris, who is in charge of the site selection and construction of the printing and dyeing factory and textile factory, has roughly finalized the plan.
Phils, who had been inspecting Jiangdu Wharf for many days, also wrote his thoughts into a document and handed it to Lin Hongfei.
Facing these three reports, Lin Hongfei was still very cautious. He spent four or five days and discussed with these four people for a long time before deciding on the final plan.
Except for the wharf rectification plan to be left alone at Lin Hongfei's place, the two reports on coal mine renovation and factory construction were brought back to Qingcheng by Wayne.
Lin Hongfei told Wayne very seriously:
"After returning to Qingcheng, you should immediately purchase all the equipment, raw materials, accessories, etc. according to the requirements of the report, and then send them to Jiangdu as soon as possible."
"The construction team should be assembled as soon as possible, especially engineers and special types of work. Experienced workers must be selected. As for ordinary laborers, I can recruit them in the county."
"You have to recruit enough skilled workers and managers before the factories and coal mines are finished."
"If they think Jiangdu County is too far away and don't want to come, then give them a raise, I don't believe no one will come!"
"Don't be afraid to spend money, as long as our factory is built and the coal mine is rebuilt, we can earn back all the original cost!"
Wayne is very clear that this matter is related to whether Lin Hongfei can gain a foothold in Jiangdu County in the future and spread his tentacles of influence to the surrounding areas.
As Lin Hongfei's partner, Wayne knew that the more powerful Lin Hongfei was, the more profit he could make.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I assure you that all projects will be successfully completed before the second half of next year!" Wayne said quite confidently.
"I hope so!" Lin Hongfei said slowly.

Songshan County is located in the north of Jiangdu County.
Unlike Jiangdu County, which is relatively affluent and backed by the Yangtze River, Songshan County is much poorer. Even its county seat is not half as big as Jiangdu County.
In such a poor place, naturally there is nothing to fish for, and coupled with the poor mountains and rivers, there are troublemakers. Being an official here is simply asking for trouble.
Therefore, six years ago, after the departure of the last county magistrate, Songshan County has been in a vacuum without government management.
If you don't take power, someone will naturally pick it up.
Five years ago, Hong Tianwu, the largest opium dealer in the area, gathered a group of gunmen and swordsmen under his command, and took a large number of young and middle-aged men from Songshan County to form the so-called Songshan County Self-Defense and Security Army. Hong Tianwu proclaimed himself the commander.
Relying on the self-defense and security forces, Hong Tianwu became the de facto master of Songshan County, the Tu Emperor.
However, Hong Tianwu is also a sensible person. No matter how powerful he is in Songshan County, the upper limit is just like this. In such a poor place, he really has no future.
Therefore, Hong Tianwu had long set his sights on the fat piece of Jiangdu County.
It's just that the Ren family militia under Ren Anfu was not easy to provoke. Hong Tianwu had sent people to test it a few times, but Ren Anfu beat them back. Hong Tianwu had no choice but to give up.
But he didn't give up on this idea. Since Jiangdu County couldn't be taken down by himself, he should find a few allies and let's take down Jiangdu County together.
There were quite a few people who held the same idea as Hong Tianwu. Several groups of large-scale bandits, militia groups, and private armed forces around Jiangdu County were all greedy for the fat meat of Jiangdu Wharf.
Therefore, Hong Tianwu's series connection really allowed him to pull up a team of more than ten thousand people.
However, although the number of people is large, it seems that the scale is not small, but only one-third of the people actually hold guns.
The rest of the people are holding cold weapons such as big knives and spears.
