It was a foregone conclusion that Lu Langjun would leave with Prince Consort Luo, and Tan Min and Zhao Lin did not stay in King Zhou's box for long.
When they saw Lord Lu coming, they said goodbye and left, returning to the backstage.
However, this time, Zhao did not drag Writer Gu to taste the delicious pigeon soup together. Instead, he found a quiet place and asked Tan Min's confidant to guard outside and not let anyone else in. He himself sat side by side with Tan Min.
Then, he took out his cell phone.
Lord Tan was already very familiar with this glowing magic weapon and was not overly surprised.
But when he saw Xia Ying's face appear inside, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Zhao Lin did not explain much, and summarized it as "Xianren Niupi" anyway.
Xia Ying was obviously quite surprised by this call, especially since there were indigenous people on the other end...
But he didn't say much, just asked: "Is there something wrong? Could it be that what you said before was successful?"
Zhao Lin had a good memory and he quickly remembered that he had promised Xia Ying to promote modern medicine.
The method used was to ask King Zhou to help "sell goods".
If you're sick, you get a shot to set an example. If you're not sick, you can find some way to prevent it...
But this matter is obviously not suitable to be said in front of Tan Min.
So Zhao Lin said directly: "Don't worry, there will be a result soon. Today we are here for other things. I remember you are in Hua'an County now, right?"
Xia Ying nodded.
Zhao Lin asked, "According to your observation, what is the current situation in Hua'an County and on the grassland?"
The reason for asking this is because Prince Consort Luo took away Mr. Lu and the Lu family as well.
Although Zhao Lin is in the capital, his mission is the entire Zhou Kingdom. If Hua'an County can be well built, it can become a "model county" and serve as a leading role for other places in the Zhou Kingdom.
Now that the Lu family is there, they must play a role.
While they have not left the capital yet, Zhao Lin needs to understand the situation in Hua'an County first, so that he can prepare what is needed there as soon as possible and see what support the capital can provide so that Prince Consort Luo can take it away.
But Xia Ying didn't talk about enlightenment, but said: "If we talk about problems, there are still some."
Zhao Lin immediately straightened his expression, and Tan Min also looked at the phone screen.
Then Xia Ying said, "First of all, construction requires manpower, but there are few people here, so digging stones is very slow. There are also few teachers, so the school cannot be opened."
Zhao Lin consoled him by saying, "It's already being resolved bit by bit. You'll soon be welcoming the teaching team sent by King Zhou himself."
Xia Ying: ???
Although I don’t know what this means, since the other party said that there are teachers coming to teach, I will just wait.
So, Xia continued, "There's also the issue of public security. Although the Barbarian Kingdom has quieted down, the years of friction between Zhou and the Barbarian Kingdom have led to the emergence of numerous bandits near the border counties, who often exploit the situation on both sides. Even though the two countries have begun peace talks, these bandits haven't been completely eradicated."
Tan Min's delicate eyebrows suddenly frowned: "Could it be that they went to cause trouble in Hua'an County?"
Xia Ying replied, "It's not common yet. After all, the Princess's subordinates are stationed here, and the security is quite strict. However, the grassland is large and the manpower is small. It's in the early stages of construction, and the facilities and manpower are not yet complete. If we don't take care of these guys, I'm afraid they will cause trouble on the grassland in the future."
As he spoke, Xia paused, reached out his hand, and pulled up the task list on his phone.
As he looked around, he said, "There's a lot of stuff being prepared for construction there, and we have a lot of people there. If things really get out of hand, I'm afraid no one will be able to take advantage."
As a native, Tan Min naturally didn't know anything about systems or tasks.
But he knew very well that the immortals attached great importance to the grassland.
No matter what the reason for his attention is, it is for the construction of the Zhou Kingdom. As the chief minister, he must of course strongly support it.
So Mr. Tan said softly, "It seems that the crime rate must be reduced as soon as possible."
Zhao Lin only thought about it briefly, then said calmly, "If you want to reduce the crime rate, it's very simple. There are two ways."
Xia Ying knew immediately that this was something that the professionals involved had found out about.
So he immediately took out his little notebook and said, "You tell me."
Zhao Lin said calmly, "The first method is to declare all previously criminal acts innocent, allowing the county city to enter the cyberpunk stage. By then, regardless of the actual situation, the data will show that it is absolutely peaceful, with a low crime rate, and a standard model county city."
Xia Ying: ...
Tan Min: ???
These words made Lord Tan a little confused, and Xia Ying's mind also went blank for a few seconds.
It's like in a game, when you can't beat the opponent, you start to blatantly change the rules. You have no sportsmanship at all!
What a crazy operation!
However, Xia Ying felt that he was just a medical student, and the person sitting opposite him was a political professional, so he was afraid that he had misinterpreted the other person's meaning, so he did not refute immediately.
Instead, he held the pen motionless, his eyelids twitching, but he still tried to calmly say, "Can you really do this?"
Zhao Lin nodded solemnly: "Of course, this method is the simplest, most effective and direct way, but the consequences are also more obvious."
Xia Ying: "...For example?"
Zhao Lin: "The crime rate has dropped, but the death rate will definitely go up. By then, you might be facing a Gotham City with simple folk customs."
Xia Ying: ...
If a country is full of people with this kind of ideas, there is no need to worry about the country's demise!
Tan Min couldn't sit still any longer, frowned slightly, and wanted to say something.
But Zhao Lin smiled first and said slowly, "Of course, I know this won't work. We still have a second method."
His tone was very relaxed, as if he had just told a joke.
In fact, Zhao Lin certainly did not intend to bring disaster to the Zhou Kingdom.
It’s not that he is kind-hearted. After all, for Zhao Lin, his professional task is to bring a country above the standard line from a political perspective. To achieve this goal, Zhao can adopt a variety of methods.
You can even start over from scratch.
In fact, using the villain's methods can often achieve the goal faster.
But at the beginning of Langyun's journey, an agreement had already been reached among the various majors that they could compete in a healthy manner, but could not set traps for each other, and that unity and cooperation were the main focus.
The Zhou Kingdom is a country that Langyun has worked hard to manage as "safe", and many tasks are currently being carried out here.
Therefore, it is better to take the path of peaceful rise.
As for the future, it depends on the situation.
Tan Min was completely unaware of Zhao Lin's dangerous intentions. He asked, "What is the second method?"
Zhao Lin replied: "Perform the reverse operation."
Perhaps because he had just received a challenge to his worldview, Xia Ying's standards were now extremely low. In any case, it would not be more terrifying than the one just now.
So he was particularly calm at this moment and picked up the small notebook to take notes.
Then Zhao Lin continued, "We will raise the public security standards in Hua'an County to a high level and use drastic measures to eliminate any unhealthy practices."
Although Xia Ying didn't understand, he felt it was more reliable than before, so he asked, "What exactly does Thunder Method refer to?"
Although Tan Min on the side was young, he had been in officialdom for several years and came from the Ministry of Justice, so he understood everything immediately.
So he said, "Is it that Immortal Lord wants to make the laws stricter in order to deter evildoers?"
Zhao Lin smiled and nodded, his face showing his usual harmless expression.
Then, he gave an example to Xia Ying on the other side of the phone: "If a one-year sentence is possible, sentence him to five years; if a three-year sentence is possible, sentence him to time; if it is really not possible, sentence him to life imprisonment."
Tan Min added, "Just now the Immortal Lord said that there's a lot of hard labor in Hua'an County, like breaking stones, moving bricks, and digging earth pits. Just let the prisoners do it. I think since they're able to commit such crimes, they probably have too much energy and nowhere to vent it. It's a good idea to give them a way to release it so they don't harm others."
Zhao Lin laughed when he heard it, clapping his hands and laughing: "Excellent, excellent, your idea is very good. This way, we only need to build a bigger prison."
Tan Min also smiled and said, "We can let them build it themselves. It's best to build it next to the farmland so that it will be convenient for them to work in the future."
Zhao Lin thought for a moment: "Labor camp?"
Lord Tan immediately praised, "This name is very fitting. They can work and be reformed, which is also the earnest hope that the Zhou Kingdom has for them. It can be regarded as their small contribution to the construction of the Great Zhou while bearing the punishment."
"Then why not just include the mountainside as well."
"Yes, once the bandits above come down the mountain, we can seamlessly send them back in and lock them up... No, it's a contribution."
"Amazing, awesome."
“No, no.”
Xia Ying: …………
Looking at the two people opposite him, one was studying politics in school, the other was involved in politics in the court, and yet they sat here and flattered each other with a serious face, and casually planned a method that would make all the criminals in the Great Zhou regret their past actions, Xia Ying only wanted to say -
As expected, those who are good at tactics have dirty hearts!
Zhao Lin had already torn off the paper, took out a pen, and began to write down what he was thinking.
Tan Min was not idle either, and came over to offer advice.
Xia Ying cleverly turned off the microphone.
He now feels out of place because he is too "normal".
Just when Zhao Lin and Tan Min were discussing temporary policies together, Xia Ying saw someone coming over.
Although I couldn't see his appearance clearly because I was far away, I could tell from his general clothing that he was a native of the grassland.
So Xia turned down the volume on his phone and put it on the table. Then he put on a polite smile and said to the visitor, "Are you here for a shot because you're sick? I'm free right now. Come, sit down, and take off your pants."
The grassland man paused abruptly, then covered his waistband with his hands, shook his head repeatedly, took three steps back, and stammered in Zhou language, "No, no injection, no no no..."
Xia Ying also reacted and was a little surprised: "I remember that the grassland people have been gone for a long time. Which tribe are you from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards from Hua'an County rushed over and directly pinned the grassland man down.
This frightened the grassland people: "What are you going to do!"
The guard also had his own reasons: "Recently, there have been many criminals disguised as entering the county city. You come with me and register after the inspection before leaving."
But the grassland people looked anxious, and their voices were filled with urgency: "We are not bad dogs!"
The guards remained unmoved.
Xia Ying was attracted by this unique way of speaking and asked, "Is your clan leader Tana?"
The grassland people nodded hurriedly, fearing that if they were a step slower, they would be caught and locked up.
Xia Ying asked again: "Could it be that you got lost on the way and came back?"
"No, no, no, we were in Dechang County before," he said, smiling at Xia Ying, "I even met the Immortal Lord there before."
Although Xia Ying had a good memory, there were too many indigenous people and he couldn't remember every one of them. At this moment, he had no way to testify for the other party.
But he had a simple and easy solution.
So Xia Ying asked someone to bring him over, grabbed the other person's collar and pulled him down!
Grassland people:!!!
Because the man was wearing a woolen coat, which was held together by a rope, the collar opened easily with a slight pull.
Then his arm was exposed, with a shallow scar on it caused by vaccination.
Xia Ying stared at it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yeah, we've met before."
This left both the grassland people and the guards a little confused.
The Immortal Lord is indeed an Immortal Lord, his way of recognizing people is also unique...
After confirming their identity, the grassland people were able to get rid of the identity of "bad dog".
However, since Tana has already taken everyone away, the grassland people will not stay in Hua'an County for long, but will follow the guards obediently. After all, Tana is now the mouthpiece of the eldest princess and is in charge of many tribes. Even people from the same tribe have to wait for Hua'an County to show them a clear way to get the exact location of their family leader, instead of looking for him randomly in the grassland.
After he left, Xia Ying's place became quiet again.
He picked up his phone again, turned on the sound, and then saw that Zhao Lin opposite him had already written a long page.
At this moment, he was muttering as he wrote: "From now on, anyone caught stealing in the Princess's fiefdom will be sentenced to ten years, robbery will be punished with life imprisonment, and hooliganism will be sterilized." As he spoke, he paused his pen, looked up, saw Xia Ying reappear on the screen, and asked, "Is Yan Tao over there?"
This was originally a common question, but Xia Ying subconsciously tensed his back, a smile appeared on his face, and he nodded gently: "Yes, they were there before, but now they are on the grassland. We call each other every day." He paused, "For the mission, nothing else."
Zhao Lin was quite talented in making trouble, but he didn't notice anything about Xia Ying's words.
He simply continued, "I remember she brought a lot of veterinary medicine specialists with her, and they'll be useful now."
Xia Ying was curious: "What?"
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "Some things can be handed over to them. After all, humans are also animals, so the method of cutting them off is probably the same. If it really doesn't work, you can send them to the capital."
Xia Ying was bewildered: "Send it to the capital...what for?"
Tan Min added softly, "The palace is short of manpower, and needs people like them who are willing to proactively hand in their tools."
Xia Ying looked up at the sky silently, feeling fortunate that no trace of giant pandas had been found in this dimension.
Otherwise, I will definitely starve to death by these two guys who steal the bamboo shoots!
After writing down all the possible solutions, Zhao Lin picked up the paper, checked it again, and nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, this way, at least we can solve the urgent problem of Hua'an County."
Tan Min said softly, "Perhaps, it can be extended to other border counties."
Compared with other countries, Da Zhou is located in the center of the continent. In addition to the endless basins and mountains, it also has many neighboring countries.
This resulted in a large number of border counties, which led to poor public security.
In the past, the Zhou State only used punishments to warn people, and even went to the point of "cutting off hands for stealing and beheading for robbery", but the effect was minimal.
Now, Zhao Lin's words made Lord Tan understand a lot.
So he said, "Sometimes, being too harsh can make people take risks and become extremely vicious. Now, instead of saving their lives, we can make them lose their freedom and contribute their labor. This will not only serve as a greater warning, but also contribute to the infrastructure of the Great Zhou. Why not do it?"
That sounds pretty good.
For people in prison, this business with no capital investment seems to be a good deal no matter how you look at it.
However, Xia Ying raised a question: "Hua'an County is the fiefdom of the eldest princess, so special arrangements can be made, but how can other counties implement it? If I remember correctly, in the Great Zhou, if you want to have a new policy, you need to get approval from all levels..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Tan Min pull out a purse from his waist.
Open it and pour the contents directly onto the table.
Ding ding dang dang.
Looking closely, there are several... seals?
Before Xia Ying could figure it out, he saw Tan Min had already started searching: "This one is from the Ministry of Justice, this one is from the Hanlin Academy, and this one is mine..."
As he spoke, he blew on the seal to soften the ink.
Then, he pressed it directly on the paper that Zhao Lin had just written.
All the seals were stamped and arranged neatly.
Finally, a place was vacant, so he stood up and went out. When he came back, the paper was stamped with the King of Zhou's seal.
Then he smiled and said, "Okay, we can start implementing it tomorrow."
Xia Ying was a little surprised: "How can such a big thing as amending the law be done so quickly?"
Zhao Lin said calmly: "Wang Quan is sometimes quite useful."
Xia Ying was still confused: "But even though Lord Tan is the Prime Minister, how can he hold so many seals?"
Tan Min smiled and said, "The owners of these seals are all my people."
Xia Ying: "...Is this legal?"
Lord Tan still smiled: "The king is on my side. If he says it is legal, then it is legal."
Xia Ying: ...Oh.
