    Section 17 New Year¡¯s Affairs (Please collect)

    On February 15, 921, after Lin Fenghan handed over many military and government affairs to Corland, Lana, and Davout, he took Vera, Bemina and others to Waterdeep City.

    In the hall of Shenmu City, Lin Fenghan was wearing a brown shirt and purple robe. He looked at Emina, Iona and Aixina softly and said, "You three can stay here for the winter. I want to return to Deep Water."  The city has taken care of business. Also, Colande, you should pay attention to training war horses. Although the southern horses are smaller in size, they can still be used as reconnaissance cavalry, light cavalry, and archers. Colande, Lana, Davout,  Ramsay, you guys need to train the army well and prepare for our next battle."

    "Okay, I won't say any more. Do you have any questions?" Lin Fenghan looked up at the castle where he had lived for more than two months, and said sadly with some reluctance.

    Iona tightened her thick windbreaker and said with a chuckle: "What are you going to do in Waterdeep City? Isn't it to visit the ice beauty Jin Xiya?"

    "Ahem!"

    Lin Fenghan coughed lightly, nodded to Iona's forehead, and said with a wry smile: "The royal family has already formed a potential alliance with us. The population in our territory has suddenly increased dramatically in the past few months, and now the population is at least 260,000.  Our food is not enough. I went to Waterdeep City this time. One is to survey the layout of the granary and the food problem. The other is to check the defense and check the situation of the surrounding nobles. The third is a superficial transaction, to check the fleet's delivery of food and the maximum amount of food they can support.  Question. These are urgent matters and I have to watch them in person. With so many things requiring me to be busy, how can I have time to fall in love?"

    "Yeah?"

    Iona shook her head quickly and said: "I don't believe it, I want to go with you. I have strong swordsmanship and can protect you."

    "Stop it!"

    Lin Fenghan shook his head gently and said: "You, Aishina, and Emina are all humans from the forest area, and I am a human from the ocean area. It is already February, and although it will not snow, the temperature is still 0  The temperature is about 7 degrees. In such a cold weather, it is better for you women to stay at home and spend the winter. Once you go out and catch a cold or get sick, you will become ugly."

    "ah!"

    Iona changed her color quickly and said, "Then I'd better not go. Yi Liuyun, when the weather gets warm, I will go to Deepwater City to find you."

    "Um!"

    Lin Fenghan looked at the shy Emina, turned to Aixina who was far away and said: "Emina, Aixina, Kelande, Kelande Goodbye!"

    ¡°Have a good trip, Baron!¡±

    "Be sure to wear more clothes."

    "Walking slower when it snows."

    ¡­¡­

    "Um!"

    Lin Fenghan got on a large carriage pulled by four horses, led more than 100 cavalrymen from the general's guard, and several carriages behind him and walked slowly towards the direction of Waterdeep City.

    Outside the east gate, Aixina, Iona, Emina, Kelande, Kelande and others slowly watched the convoy go away until it disappeared from the sight of the mountain.

    Iona suddenly felt a little disappointed, looked at Aixina gently and asked: "Sister, do you like Yi Liuyun? What do you think of this person?"

    After a long silence, Aixina shook her head slightly and said:

    "I have no idea."

    ¡­¡­

    The heavy snowfall in the mountains and forests in January has not dissipated, and the winter breeze is cool and cold. Lin Fenghan sat in the carriage and opened the window to look out. Everything in the world was white.  Although the Senvi Mountains are located in the subtropical zone, winter snow remains for a long time in the mountains.

    On the top of the mountain, part of the snow has melted, and pure streams fell from the mountain peaks, turning into streams of water flowing along the road drainage ditches to the rivers below, plowing and irrigating the fields. This is a great benefit to those under the winter snow.  The seeds bring more moisture.

    Lin Fenghan sat in the carriage boredly, thinking about what he was not doing at the moment.

    "Glass, military telescope. By the way, this must be done quickly."

    "Paper, letter paper, white paper, kraft paper, these paper manufacturing plants must be set up this month. Such paper can not only be used by oneself, but can also be exported. Paper made with the new manufacturing art is better than what the current nobles mainly use.  The thick leather letter paper is much lighter and lighter, and the color of the paper, white, is much more beautiful and neat than yellow."

    "In the gunpowder research and development factory, mixed gunpowder is just impure and high-grade gunpowder. We must slowly develop better gunpowder. Gunpowder can not only be used in wars, but can also be used to build castles, open mountain roads, and people's livelihood."

    "Steam engine, steam engine isThe most advanced power system, whether it is a ship, a train, or a car, all the original power comes from the steam engine. The research and development of the steam engine is crucial. I must do a good job in the research and development and design of the steam engine.  "

    ¡°Sails, gliders, and dynamic buoyancy research are also crucial.¡±

    Lin Fenghan gently pressed his head and said to himself: "But all these research and development things must be supported by theory, and there are also standards related to length, weight, mass, buoyancy, lift, gliding force and other standards rationed by theory.  Knowledge structure, where do I need to go to find such talent?¡±

    "Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Lin Fenghan stretched out his hand to Bemina, who was looking at him confusedly, and shouted: "Bemina, help me press my neck, my head hurts.  "

    ¡­¡­

    Because of the snow and cold temperatures in winter, the roads are very slippery.  Lin Fenghan's convoy spent five days, passed through more than a dozen small towns, and traveled more than 200 kilometers before reaching Waterdeep City.

    In the vast and gorgeous castle hall of Waterdeep City, General Platt laughed and patted Lin Fenghan and said, "I've heard it all here. You fought beautifully in the battle of Shenmu City. A complete second legion of the border army.  You have completely defeated them. More than half of the Duke Brant family¡¯s troops in the southern continent have been wiped out by us, and you have done a really good job.¡±

    "Uncle, you are too polite." Lin Fenghan smiled happily and said: "I have ordered the reorganization of a new army in Shenmu City. By then our army will be divided into two systems, one is the city defense army system, and the other is  Field Army Corps System. The new field army system will use brand new equipment and a new tactical system. I will rely on this new army to defeat Dambreth and use my true strength to gain a place for my dream."

    "Really? My dear nephew!"

    Platt stroked his beard and smiled: "You kid can always bring us many incredible surprises. I believe in you. Just go to the front and fight with peace of mind. Although I am old, I can still defend various local towns and cities.  There is no problem."

    "Thank you, old general." Lin Fenghan looked at the kind Pulet with emotion and asked doubtfully.

    "By the way, old general, I would like to ask about the current defense situation of Waterdeep City? And the status of our granary reserves?"

    Plutt paused, stroking his beard and smiled: "The order you gave earlier was to completely revise the east wall of Waterdeep City. It is now intact and as strong as the surrounding walls."

    "And we have moved some of the granaries outside the city to the inside of the city. In the city, we have demolished more than 500 square meters of residential buildings and built more warehouses. The food currently stored in the warehouses is enough for 40,000 people around Waterdeep City.  It¡¯s okay to eat it for the first half of the year.¡±

    "Very good, uncle, you did a good job." Lin Fenghan held out his thumb happily.

    Platt puffed up his chest proudly and said with a laugh: "I can't help but recruit more than 2,000 militiamen. There are currently more than 3,000 soldiers in Waterdeep City, but these more than 3,000 people have just been trained, and the system does not have a main battle  The army is good, and the equipment and rations are all the bronze equipment of the past. These militiamen are posted in Waterdeep, receive a salary of two to four silver coins every month, and train regularly for twenty days every month, and spend the other ten days doing manual labor to build city walls and castles.  , carry supplies, and according to your instructions, Baron, I will give them extra wages while they work."

    "Yes! Very good!" Lin Fenghan nodded and said: "These militiamen must be trained rigorously and work a lot. Only in this way can they develop a hard-working and down-to-earth military style. Only in this way can they be effective in fighting."

    At this time, Jin Xiya, dressed in white and wearing a robe, walked down from the top of the hall and said to Lin Fenghan: "Lord Baron, Berardi's time limit has expired, and I have released her to go home for the New Year."

    "Berati?"

    Lin Fenghan lowered his head and thought for a long time before he remembered the woman he had imprisoned before, and said with a thin eyebrow: "You let her go? It's okay to let her go, but didn't you give her some travel expenses? I heard that her family is quite poor.  "

    "The Baron is really kind-hearted." Jin Xiya lowered his head slightly and said softly: "I took it upon myself to give her 100 silver coins. I hope the Baron won't blame me."

    "No." Lin Fenghan shook his head gently and said, "You have been the acting city lord and deputy city lord in Waterdeep City these past months. You have been in charge of many affairs in Waterdeep City. I just want to ask you about your recent affairs in Waterdeep City.  What's the political situation, what's the state of government affairs?"

    Platt smiled secretly, gently picked up his hat, and said seriously: "Baron, I still have some welfare matters to deal with in the army. I will go back and be busy with military affairs first, and then I will say goodbye."

    "ah!"

    Lin Fenghan was stunned for a moment and said intimately: "Remember the afternoon time"?Come and eat!  "

    "Um!"

    Lin Fenghan watched Pulet leave quickly, turned around and walked towards Jin Xiya with a faint smile.
