Chapter 198 Defend the Commune

As the chariots galloped on the streets of Nanjing, Yang Feng's roar also resounded throughout the city. Then, in the yards with still walls, the committee members quickly walked out and rushed to Chaotian Palace.

The last battle in Beijing confirmed the value of the wall.

Therefore, Yang Feng also retained and even repaired and reinforced the walls of Nanjing and Zhenjiang.

This thing is really useful.

There were not many street battles in the era of cold weapons. Once the city wall was broken, it would be basically over. Even if the people in the city wanted to resist, it would be difficult for them to resist. However, this arrangement in the era of hot weapons was very useful.

Even if the enemy attacks the city, they must face walls that block most alleys. Infantry will be shot in the clamping on both sides. No matter how strong the soldiers cannot stand the wall next to it, a grenade suddenly flew out from behind, and the impact of the cavalry will be easily blocked. No one knows how many resisters are hidden behind the wall. Even when the cannon is pushed in, it will be difficult to play a role because the shooting boundary is blocked. The only thing left is to block the main street, which is simply a perfect barricade defense system...

Of course, if the people in the city rebelled, it would become a sad story.

"Open the shooting port here!"

Yang Dashuai pointed to the wall of Jian'anfang and said.

More than a dozen members of this yard saluted in front of the yard.

"Master, how many enemy troops are there?"

The president said carefully.

Like the Beijing city, each fang is composed of these committees.

Then Yang Feng appointed one of them as the president, followed by a militia committee member, a finance committee member, and an education committee member.

These are the wages paid by the commune.

As for taxation, the tax bureaus under the commune are responsible for, and other affairs are also various bureaus. Branches are also established according to the past five-city system. In short, it is a copy of the Beijing Commune system. Although this management method has increased the number of personnel compared to the past, it is indeed more efficient. The only problem is that fiscal expenditures have increased, but the problem is that tax revenue has also soared.

In cities like this, internal commercial taxes alone are enough to support a management system.

There is even a lot of balance.

The Northern Song Dynasty Kaifeng City had a commercial tax of more than 400,000 yuan a year, which was a city in Kaifeng. Even the surrounding prefectures and counties were not counted, and the Kaifeng City Commercial Taxation Court was responsible for collecting it.

Although it was copper coins at that time.

but……

Even if it is converted into silver, it will be more than 200,000 taels of silver based on the current silver and copper coins.

If the current normal salary level in Nanjing is based on the current normal salary level, 200,000 taels of silver is enough to maintain a civil servant team of nearly 10,000 people.

Actually, it doesn't need that much at all.

With the volume of affairs in this era, a city with a population of two million, with two thousand people who eat the commune's finances, can be said to be more than enough. After all, many modern departments in this era do not need it at all, and the militias are responsible for the public security issues of each party themselves. All the communes need is to send people to guide them. This new management system is about to face the test of war for the first time. At this moment, all the members here are looking at Yang Feng with nervous eyes.

Yang Feng smiled slightly.

"Twenty-hundred thousand, if you have not arrived around you, there will probably be more. It's similar to Chen Youliang back then. Are you scared?"

He said.

The committee members were obviously panicked.

In fact, this is normal. Although Yang Feng transformed the urban commune, for these people, it was nothing more than changing the management system. People were still those, and those who had not experienced the war for two hundred years, and dozens of Japanese pirates who flew over and caused panic.

The essence has not changed.

Now that I hear that hundreds of thousands of troops are already at the city, it is a strange thing if I don’t panic.

"What a panic? I'm still a man. I don't even feel afraid!"

A fat girl on the roadside said contemptuously.

"Shut up, woman!"

One of the committee members should be her man shouted.

The fat lady looked at him with a threatening look, then snorted coldly and walked into the gate with a high voice.

The man was deeply saddened...

"It's not embarrassing to be afraid. People will be afraid of strong enemies. But no matter how scared they are, are they going to surrender to the enemy because of fear? I just want to ask you now, do you like the life you are currently living, are you willing to continue to live such a life, do you want to live such a life for generations in the future?"

Yang Feng said.

"think!"

The committee members almost answered in unison.

Even the people around were shouting at the same time.

Of course I thought about it.

Those wealthy and prominent families who oppress the people are gone. Now all the nobles are like human beings with their tails, and there are no corrupt officials. At least not yet. The commune officials are truly honest. They are actually selected by the committee members of each party. Be careful that the militia will attack his family the next day, and the thieves in the city will disappear. Under this militia system, it is a desperate situation to steal things.

Industry and commerce are booming.

Free schools are under construction in all the workshops.

The originally ineffective Yangjiyuan, Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, was popularized in the office, and it was truly operating. The former was a state-owned nursing home and an orphanage, and the latter was a state-owned free hospital. During the Zhu Yuanzhang era, this was a real state-owned hospital and it was popularized at the county level.

The doctor is directly under the Imperial Hospital.

The doctors selected from the Imperial Hospital to serve in various places, and the medicinal materials needed are obtained by drawing points every year for each medicinal material production.

This score was always very important in the tax system of the Ming Dynasty.

All medicinal materials manufacturers must take out part of the medicine to the state, and then the state allocates them to local free state-owned hospitals, specifically used to treat poor people who have no money.

In addition, this is also the head of the local pharmaceutical industry.

But his son was basically useless as a child, so Zhu Di issued an order to warn him that he should not have stationery only.

Then each generation is worse than the next.

Until now, it is actually a decoration that is only remembered when the plague occurs.

But Yang Feng really restored this thing. Although it is unlikely that free medical care is possible, it is still possible to use this system to establish a modern medical system. It is completely possible to train midwives and carry out disinfection and sanitation to increase the population growth rate. But for ordinary people who have not seen this thing really work for many generations, the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, which has resumed operations now, is a miracle.

In just over a month, they have seen a new future. After countless generations of corruption, the land is truly sprouting.

"Then take action and use your own hands to defend her!"

Yang Feng said.

At this time, the members of other yards behind were also coming, and more and more people gathered in front of the gate of Chaotian Palace.

"There are 200,000 enemies outside, and our troops are two towns, 25,000. Even if all of these 25,000 people go to the city wall, they cannot fill the inner city wall, let alone the outer city wall. But aren't you humans? You like your current good days and want her to continue so that your descendants can live such good days, or even better days, so let's take your actions.

The man took his weapon and went to the city wall.

The woman and the child transport ammunition and water to the man below.

The craftsmen were in the city, creating weapons and ammunition for the soldiers, and everyone worked hard to fight the enemy and defended our commune together.

What are you afraid of if the enemy has 200,000? There are two million people in our city, why should we be afraid of the enemy's troops? "

Yang Feng shouted.

"Yes, it's men who are on the city wall!"

"Yes, defend the commune!"

...

The committee members immediately roared excitedly.

"Let's go to Chaotian Palace, we have to make some arrangements for what to do!"

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

Then he was the first to enter Chaotian Palace.

The committee members behind him immediately followed him in.

And at this moment, their enemies have also embarked on the Great Victory Pass...

"Wang Junlou's ship was down in Yizhou, and the kingly aura of Jinling was depressed!"

Dong Yu, the military affairs officer of the Hongguang Governor, recited a poem reservedly while stepping on the dock in front of him.

In fact, he wanted to use Chen Youliang as an analogy. After all, his situation is more like Chen Youliang, but one is unlucky, and the other is not like a minister of the Ming Dynasty. This is only this poem is more suitable. Behind him, like Chen Youliang, he brought a huge fleet that covered the river. This was a pieced together in Huguang and Jiangxi provinces, and there were even several giant tower ships, which were newly built last year. Although this thing was no longer suitable for war at this time, it was easy to transport soldiers.

They were in the upper reaches, and the most important thing at that time was to transport a large number of soldiers to reinforce Nanjing in a timely manner.

So the bigger the warship, the better.

On the docks on both sides of him, warships were docking, and countless fully armed soldiers were setting foot on this land where Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty fought.

"Mr. Kuan'an, then I'll wait for a stone to emerge from a submission flag!"

A Confucian scholar who was following him said with a smile.

He was surrounded by a large number of Confucian scholars. He was from Le'an, Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province. When he passed by Jiujiang, a large number of scholars from Bailu Cave Academy followed him to show off.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Governor Dong laughed happily at the distant Nanjing city.

At this time, a noise came from not far away from them. He turned around and looked there. A warship was stranded on the shore because of the crowd. Several Confucian scholars accompanying him were scolding the soldiers on the shore, probably wanting them to wade over and carry them to the shore, but the latter did not pay much attention to them, which caused dissatisfaction among the scholars.

Governor Dong just smiled.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his gaze toward Yuhuatai.

And the scholars finally surrendered and took out the money unhappily. Only then did a few soldiers walk into the river and carry them to the shore.

"What is that?"

Governor Dong looked at the rain flower platform with a few strange reflections in the green field.

A general who was following him immediately looked solemn...

"The formation is a cavalry!"
