Chapter 243 Asking for Money

Li Xin laughed.

Duan Qingyan is indeed a smart person.

Li Xin said: "It's very simple. I have two problems now."

Duan Qingyan leaned back on the sofa, half lying down to rest, looking sideways in the direction of Li Xin, and asked lazily, "Which two problems?"

Li Xin said, "First, I need the approval of the group's superiors for us to support the local armed forces here."

Duan Qingyan nodded and said, "This is a problem. After all, if the group wanted to do this, they would have done it long ago. They haven't supported local armed forces for so many years. Restarting this plan now is a problem."

Then she added, "But this problem is not difficult. If your plan can convince me, I can help you."

Li Xin nodded and said, "The plan is not a big problem."

"The second problem is the issue of military spending."

Duan Qingyan frowned: "Military expenses?"

Li Xin said, "Supporting local armed forces is certainly more cost-effective than transferring troops from the group. Although their combat effectiveness is slightly lower, the cost is also lower."

"But even if it's small, it still costs a lot of money to train and maintain an army."

"Where will the money come from? I'm worried the money the group gives us might not be enough."

Duan Qingyan frowned and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

Li Xin looked at Duan Qingyan and said, "Yes!"

"What method?"

"I'm asking you for it." Li Xin said seriously.

"What!" Duan Qingyan almost jumped up from the sofa.

She kept saying, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"I don't have any money, and neither do the government departments. Forget it."

Li Xin said seriously, "You must be rich, and the administration department is also rich. I know it!"

"Where do I get the money?" Duan Qingyan's eyes were evasive.

Li Xin said: "In this previous bizarre case, both the military and local authorities were implicated. The trafficking of arms was one element, and corruption and bribery were another."

"Although the Yadun region has no other benefits, it must have money. Otherwise, why would they be greedy?"

Duan Qingyan quickly explained, "How can I, a clean government enforcer, compare with those who are corrupt?"

"They are all secretly reselling rare minerals. I wouldn't dare do that."

"If I wasn't this capable, how could I possibly have money?"

Li Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this taxable?"

"Every quarter, the group should return part of the tax revenue to develop the economy of the Yadun region."

Duan Qingyan immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I knew you were targeting me!"

"This is the money I want to use to improve people's livelihood. It must not be misappropriated!"

Li Xin said, "But given the current environment in the Yadun area, you simply can't improve people's livelihood."

"If you can't develop livelihood projects, your money will be useless if you keep it, and it won't produce any offspring if you save it."

"Moreover, if there's too much money, it's easy for people below you to become greedy, and then there's bound to be corruption again."

"The money is just sitting there anyway, why can't you give it to me first? Implement the military-first policy and achieve regional peace first. Only then will you have room to improve people's livelihoods!"

"I know you men best! If I take this money, I will definitely not get it back. Even if there is peace by then, I won't have the money to develop!"

"These soldiers need to be supported, and it's not a one-time expense. No matter how much you take this time, I will have to support them in the future."

"You've taken all the money, what will I spend it on in the future?"

Li Xin came over to comfort Duan Qingyan and said, "My money will be your money in due time. There's no need to divide it so clearly between the military and the local people."

Duan Qingyan's eyes widened: "So my money is also your money, right?"

"Your Yadun garrison is as poor as hell. Where do you get the money?"

Li Xin kept shaking his head and said, "I don't have money now, but that doesn't mean I won't have money in the future!"

"Once I have formed a local armed force, I can clear out all the rebels, and even fight them out and get funding from outside."

"In one, if the region is peaceful, the output value of the Yadun region will naturally increase."

Li Xin placed his hands on Duan Qingyan's shoulders, straightened her up so she looked at him, and said, "The most important thing is that we can't just focus on money. Think about it, the Yadun region is like a powder keg right now."

"The people here are living in dire straits. Shouldn't we consider them? Maintaining peace is always our top priority."

Li Xin looked at Duan Qingyan's face and rosy lips in front of him, and his heart was moved.

His hands rested on Duan Qingyan's shoulders, and they seemed soft and tender, as if they were weak and boneless.

The fresh fragrance of Duan Qingyan filled his nostrils.

In other words, Li Xin was dedicated to maintaining peace, otherwise, he would have had endless things to say in this situation.

Duan Qingyan was straightened by Li Xin and also raised her head to look at Li Xin. Li Xin was originally good-looking.

After awakening psychic power, the psychic power strengthens the body in all aspects, and with the breakthrough to C level, the improvement is even greater.

In addition, Li Xin has been in the army and has military achievements, so his temperament and appearance are constantly improving.

The atmosphere between the two of them was so wrong that her face quickly turned red, and the place where her shoulder was pressed became hot as if it was spontaneously combusting.

The whole person became soft and limp, as if he had no energy left.

Li Xin's gaze fell on Duan Qingyan's red lips, and he swallowed unconsciously.

This suddenly woke Duan Qingyan up. She struggled violently and broke free from Li Xin's hands.

She struggled, her voice even sounded a little silly and stuttered:

"Stay away from...me."

"You...you, I promised, I will support you in maintaining peace, I...give you money!"

When Li Xin heard this, he sat down far away and said, "No problem. Do you think this distance is enough?"

"I'll give you the plan as soon as I get back, and then I'll just wait for you to allocate the funds."

Duan Qingyan stared blankly at Li Xin, who had retreated a long distance, and then gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Tell me your plan! I'll approve it for you!"

"Good! I was right about the person!" Li Xin said happily.

Then he stood up and said, "I'll go back and make a plan, and try to get it to you in the next two days!"

When they reached the door, Li Xin turned back and asked, "So, do I need to deal with those disobedient local officials and employees for you?"

Duan Qingyan seemed to have just come to her senses, and was stunned for a moment. Then she glared at Li Xin and said, "If you want to deal with them, I'll have someone send you the list later. Deal with them severely!"

"no problem!"

"I will definitely complete the task!" Li Xin almost patted his chest to make the promise.

After Li Xin left, Duan Qingyan continued to sit on the sofa.

His face continued to turn red, as if he had a fever.

Suddenly, she thrust out her hands to cover her face and howled in a low voice, "Ahhhhh!"

“It’s so embarrassing!”

"Damn Li Xin!!!"
