In the county head's office, Han Bin was slowly reading the documents in his hand. After he came back from the east gate, he had asked the General Affairs Department to bring over the county records, household register, financial statements, land tax statements, and other documents of Lu 'an County.
There were a lot of documents, several stacks. It would take a lot of time to read all of them. However, Han Bin was not in a hurry. He had to finish reading it no matter how much time he wasted.
As the county head, Han Bin needed to have a comprehensive understanding of his land, whether it was the various taxes or the area of cultivated land.
However, Han Bin did not need to read all of these documents. He only needed to do a general understanding of some documents.
For example, he didn't need to look at the household register with full confidence. He only needed to flip through it briefly because the household register was from many years ago. There hadn't been a detailed population count in the past two years.
However, in the past few years, the warlords had been fighting each other, and the population flow was serious. This year, there was a flood in the Jianghuai area, so the population flow was too large. Therefore, the documents on population could only be used as a reference.
Unknowingly, it was already noon. He put down the documents in his hand and looked at his watch. It was already past 11:40.
Han Bin didn't get up. He looked at the county government's roster for a while. At about 12:10, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an officer of the security regiment walked in with a tray. On it was a small bowl of rice, a dish of pickled fish, and a dish of bean sprout soup.
"County head, your lunch!"
The officer placed the rice on the table and said.
Han Bin looked up at his guard captain and said,""Liu Yi, go and call Su Cheng over!”
Han Bin's security team had more than 2,000 people, but Han Bin didn't let them follow him all the time. Some of them were sent out to do other things.
For example, the recruitment offices at the four city gates needed soldiers to maintain order. The warehouses that stored food also needed a company of soldiers to guard. There were also other warehouses in the county government, such as the silver warehouse under the Ministry of Finance, where the ocean and other assets were stored. Han Bin also used the soldiers of the Security Corps to take over.
After all, Han Bin did not trust those officials, so these places were all under his control. Han Bin had only left an infantry company by his side as his personal guard to protect his safety. Liu Yi was his guard captain.
However, Han Bin's next step was to take advantage of the disaster victims to expand his security team and expand the security team to security division. After all, the factory was about to be built, and the safety of the factory needed to be protected. The expansion of the security team was imperative.
After a while, Su Cheng came to Han Bin's office. Currently, Su Cheng was personally responsible for the safety of the county government. An entire battalion of soldiers was stationed here.
"Su Cheng, from this afternoon onwards, send someone to set up recruitment points outside and inside the city. The number of recruits will be set at 16,000.”
Recruiting soldiers, this matter should be done sooner rather than later. As for the weapons and equipment, Han Bin was not worried.
Although the system only provided the Security Corps with weapons and ammunition, he was planning to build an arsenal. In another two days, he would start to extract the forging, stamping, and equipment from the Munitions Factory and directly build the Munitions Factory.
When the Munitions Factory was set up, the weapons and equipment produced would be given priority to equip their own security forces.
Su Cheng left after receiving the order. Han Bin then began to eat lunch. After lunch, he continued to read the documents. He did not take a nap at noon. Now, he needed to understand the situation in Lu 'an County as soon as possible.
Han Bin didn't stop until about 2:30 in the afternoon. He threw the documents in his hand on the table and lit a cigarette.
The population statistics of Lu 'an County were very nonsensical, but the land statistics were very accurate. It was normal to think about it. To those officials, they had to pay attention to the changes in the ownership of land because it was all money.
According to the contents of the document, Zhu Lin, Qian Yunxi, and Huang Shiheng controlled about 62% of the land in the county, and most of it was fertile land.
Of the remaining 38% of land, about 30% was controlled by other small and medium-sized landowners. Only 8% of the cultivated land was controlled by the common people. Moreover, this 8% of land was not fertile.
Moreover, Han Bin found something strange in the documents of these land transactions. From the beginning of July to September 15th, the land transactions were quite frequent in these two and a half months.
If one looked at the documents before the beginning of July, they would find that the land controlled by the three major landowners before the beginning of July was not as much as 62%, only 48%. However, after the beginning of July, the land controlled by the three major landowners increased sharply.
This meant one thing. The flood in the Jianghuai area had intensified the annexation of land, and the three landowners had eaten their fill.
Just as Han Bin was thinking about something, someone knocked on the office door.
"Come in!"
Han Cheng pushed open the door and walked in.
"Young Master, after five to six hours, the machines and equipment have finally been unloaded. The convoy has already left. However, there were more than 6,000 people. The old servant asked them. Some of them were mechanical engineers, some were architectural designers, and some were geologists. They said that they were employees of the Red Star Group.”
Han Cheng said with a look of disbelief. As someone who had been abroad, he knew all too well what kind of people these people were. They were all high-level talents, and such high-level talents were rare in the country.
He did not know where his young master had gone to recruit so many high-level talents.
"Just settle them down properly. You can continue with your work! He had to tidy up the matter in the next few days. The place where the employees lived had to be built as soon as possible. It was about to enter late autumn.”
Of course, Han Bin knew where these people came from. These were the industrial talents given to him by the system after he extracted the industrial equipment. They were all high-level talents and key talents for the development of the industry!
"Then this old servant will go!"
Han Cheng said and left to get busy. Han Bin had given him a lot of things to do.
As soon as Han Cheng left, the phone on his desk rang. Han Bin picked it up and hung up after a few seconds. He tidied his clothes and pushed the door open to go downstairs.
At this moment, there were about 30 people sitting in the hall on the first floor of the county government. They were all landowners of Lu 'an County.
These 30 people controlled more than 90% of the land in Lu 'an County. Among these people, Zhu Lin was sitting among them. However, compared to the other landlords who were whispering, Zhu Lin was unusually silent and did not participate in their conversation.
While Zhu Lin was still in a daze, a slightly plump middle-aged man dressed in a green robe looked at Zhu Lin and asked,""Brother Zhu, why are you so quiet today? You're close to the county town. Do you know why the newly appointed county head summoned us here?”
This person was Qian Yunxi, one of the three major landowners. He had only received a notice today that the new county head of Lu 'an County had arrived and was going to meet them this afternoon. This made Qian Yunxi curious.
