Chapter 13 The Wind Rises
"Come in!" Lin Wen said.
A wretched middle-aged fat man walked in. He had a flattering smile on his face, his waist was hunched, and all the fat on his body was squeezed into a ball.
"Hello, County Governor Lin, I am Yuan Zhimen, Deputy Director of the County Governor's Office."
Lin Wen didn't even bother to listen to what was said next. He just opened his mind and started reading the file.
The middle-aged fat man Yuan Zhimen had no objection to this. The scene of the county chief reading documents and talking at the same time was normal.
He was just surprised that this extremely young County Chief Lin was so good at official communication, even smoother than the most slick old official.
He really has special talents.
Yuan Zhimen became more determined to surrender.
"This is definitely not an ordinary person. It seems I must do something drastic to grab the position closest to him first, so that I can get promoted in the future."
Then he began to expose shocking revelations, starting with the former County Magistrate Zhao Anping's successful transfer of his cronies out of Changshan County, and then to County Government Director Li Tupu's leading boycott of the new County Magistrate. This was because the new County Magistrate was a town mayor who had only been in office for a few years and had directly climbed over the long-time No. 2 in Changshan County, thus shattering his hopes for promotion.
Yuan Zhimen explained all these events clearly, and of course did not forget to exonerate himself, saying that he was sick a few days ago, and when he discovered this situation today, he immediately became furious and reported it to the county governor.
Yuan Zhimen spoke until his mouth was dry, but he didn't expect that County Magistrate Lin didn't listen to a few words he said. He only knew that Zhao Anping was not dismissed or investigated but transferred, and there was a second-in-command named Baldy who was at odds with him.
Lin Wen himself was unwilling to pay attention to these bullshit things, which was one of the reasons why he was so tired of the physical world. The world of cultivating immortals was so good, where everything would be fine if there was no agreement.
Soon, under the coaxing of Qiqiao Linglongxin, Yuan Zhimen went out contentedly, thinking that he had received a hint that he would be promoted to the position of deputy director of the office, but in fact Lin Wen did not even notice when he left.
The sheriff's office did not quiet down. On the contrary, the knocking on the door continued all day.
There was an endless stream of people coming to defect and join him, some even rushed in out of desperation and burst into tears.
It was not until dark that the office finally became quiet for a while.
Lin Wen stretched and glanced out the window: "Huh? It's getting dark?" He quickly closed his Seven Apertures Heart and discovered with heartache that there were only 17 minutes left on this spell.
"What a waste! I actually forgot to turn it off. I wasted so much time."
"Forget it, forget it, let's continue thinking about the next money-making plan."
Lin Wen smiled and was excited when he thought about today's harvest.
To put it bluntly, the power of Jiedushi is very simple, which is the right of autonomy. Except for establishing a new army and declaring independence, the Jiedushi can do anything without any approval or notification. It is basically equivalent to a country within a country.
This would definitely be of great help to him, but he hasn't found any use for it yet.
What really helps now is another document under the Jieduquan Instrument.
This is a document on the empire's backbone development plan, and its main content is the infrastructure plan for the empire's highways. Changshan County was not originally included in the plan, but now the governor has fought for it and included Changshan County in a corner, which can be considered a bit of a benefit.
Now the part of this infrastructure plan regarding Changshan County is: an imperial highway running through the east and west will be built in Changshan County to connect Imperial Highway No. 128 in Yunzhou and Imperial Highway No. 133 in Dongqinzhou.
The total length of this newly built highway is 121 kilometers, of which 101 kilometers are in Changshan County, and the total investment will reach 5.6 billion yuan.
Because it involves a large amount of mountainous areas, the cost of highway construction has skyrocketed.
This is probably why the timeline for the project is so far away and its priority is at the bottom.
Governor Sheng Huaixuan meant for him to strive for it, take corresponding measures, and quickly improve his ranking. He also specifically mentioned, "Priority should be given to rectifying the environment near the Imperial Highway."
Lin Wengang was confused when he saw it. What is the environment near the highway? Do you want me to repair the roadbed?
But Changshan County doesn’t have any money to build a roadbed.
I spent 10% of my energy to ask for guidance from the Immortal.
I then realized that it meant to clean up the security environment nearby and demolish the buildings along the planned route in advance.
Security environment?
Although Lin Wen was not familiar with government affairs, he was not a fool. The governor specifically pointed out that this meant that the security environment in Changshan County was very poor. The construction team might encounter robbery, harassment, destruction, or conflicts with local people when building the road, which would lead to construction delays or interruptions.
Then what to do?
Lin Wen once again sought help from [Immortal Guidance].
But this question is very difficult. No matter how he asks, the answers are all very expensive.
Lin Wen hesitated for a moment, but was still reluctant to use the good karma, mainly because he could not predict how much good karma it could bring him.
What if I lose money? Wouldn’t it be a waste of time and money?
The most important thing is that it is a long-term development plan, not one that can make money immediately.
His primary goal now is to get the good karma of 300,000 people to rebuild their homes, and everything else will be taken care of later.
Just as he was worrying, Lin Wen had a flash of inspiration, remembered a case, and suddenly came up with a brilliant plan.
He immediately took a pen and wrote down what he was thinking, for fear of forgetting anything.
A crude money-making plan was formed in an instant.
This was something that could not be solved by [Immortal Guidance] before, because the answer required at least several thousand good karmas, and at most an astronomical number.
Isn’t this equivalent to saving thousands of good karma just by using wisdom?
Lin Wen laughed so hard that his nose almost became crooked.
As expected, I was born with great wisdom, and my brain is more useful than anything else.
Lin Wen looked at the thin piece of paper, which was filled with his thin golden chicken claw font, and smiled with satisfaction. This was his biggest gain today.
——
The next morning, Lin Wen found the fat man Yuan Zhimen, handed him the Empire Backbone Plan document that he had carefully revised, and asked him to hold a press conference to announce the contents of the plan.
Yuan Zhimen, who was in a state of convert frenzy, immediately shook his 50D big fat meat and patted his chest to ensure that he would complete the task.
Afterwards, he found Zhu Changyuan, the chief of Guangxin in Changshan County, and asked him to broadcast the script he had prepared long ago on various channels.
Although it is a local media with little influence, it is better than nothing.
Afterwards, Lin Wen contacted the reporters from major newspapers who had interviewed him before and sent them the interview manuscripts he had written himself, but it was not certain whether they would be adopted.
Afterwards, Lin Wen found a young female employee in the county government office and called her into the office. She was wearing beautiful makeup and dressed exquisitely and stylishly, which was obviously not something she could afford with her meager salary.
The female employee's name was Fang Weiwei. She was secretly delighted, thinking that she was going to be taken advantage of. She was thinking about whether to throw herself into his arms or to play it safe. In the end, County Magistrate Lin only gave her a pair of gloves, a sash and a cloak, and told her to take good care of them, wash them carefully, and apply oil wax to make them shine.
Fang Weiwei left the office in extreme disappointment, mentally complaining about this unromantic young sheriff: "What a crappy aesthetic! What a fool! This is a Chibiao dress. It should be understated and elegant, restrained and luxurious, to suit its noble character. And yet it's waxed and shiny. It's so tacky."
Even though she thought so, she felt as if she was holding her life box in her hands, and all kinds of amazing thoughts kept coming to her mind.
"Wow, this is the first time I've touched a dress of this level."
"This material is so soft and icy, it must be the best ice silk."
"You can't even see the seam of the clothes. You can't find a single thread."
"Compared to what I'm wearing, which is just beggar's clothes, I really want to wear them once."
All these thoughts eventually boiled down to one sentence: "I must get on the new sheriff's good side, even if it means throwing myself into his arms."
"Okay." Lin Wen thought to himself, "There's only one last thing left."
He found the county governor's office computer, a bulky box with a primitive cathode ray tube monitor, but it was much better than the rubbish he had in Changle Town, and the Internet speed was acceptable.
Then Lin Wen began to browse the online world of this world for the first time.
Well, there isn't much difference. It's roughly the same as it was 20-30 years ago, with chaos, lack of supervision, and all kinds of spellcasting materials everywhere. However, since the website's revenue was small and not obvious during this period, it didn't expand significantly.
During this period, many big names were surfing the Internet, so occasionally you would find some real materials hidden under the waves and sand of the Internet.
Lin Wen took a quick look at the spellcasting materials and found that the quality of these materials varied greatly, and occasionally some were damaged or rotten, making it difficult to guard against and disgusting.
"Tsk! The quality is so poor, it hurts my eyes."
After closing the spellcasting materials, Lin Wen began to work on a profession that probably had not yet appeared in this world.
water army.
He frantically flooded major forums, news sections, and even spell material forums with spam, saying that the new governor of Changshan County, a wise and powerful man who appeared only once in a thousand years, had obtained the unprecedented power of military governorship. Changshan County was extremely valued by the top leaders of the empire, and a new storm was about to unfold here, starting with the construction of large-scale highways.
Behind this is a picture, which shows the part of the Empire's main plan related to Changshan County, and the key words have been changed by Lin Wen, from branch to main, and from non-key to special key.
Then Lin Wen replied to himself, in the tone of a developer: "Wow, is this true?"
“I really want to invest here.”
“I’m sure I’ll make a lot of money.”
"My mansion beauty depends on it!"
“Is there any investment plan for this project?”
I replied: "Yes, I heard from my uncle that Changshan County will be bidding in three days. This is confidential, insider information, you must not tell anyone else."
As the workload is too heavy and one person has to play multiple roles, there are bound to be some mistakes, but it doesn't matter, as long as it is promoted.
At that time, there was no concept of deleting posts. Most websites still followed the jungle law of the survival of the fittest. The post with the most replies would be pushed up, and the content was not censored at all. There was all kinds of nonsense.
Lin Wen just kept arguing with himself. Sometimes he was too lazy to say anything and just picked a random picture to reply.
So his long list of posts was followed by various pictures, most of which were at the spellcasting material level. This actually brought some heat and gradually received some real-person replies.
"Hurry up and post it, what's next?"
"This picture is really cool, where did you find it?"
"The host is a good man, may you live a peaceful life."
Almost no one is interested in the contents of his main building.
But Lin Wen still tirelessly repeated his naval cause.
This went on for a whole day and night, and Lin Wen's eyes were dark circles.
A press conference was held during this period. Since the flood had just passed and the aura of the imperial hero was still there, there were still some reporters in attendance.
It was also broadcast on the radio and in newspapers.
The clothes were washed and hung on the wall. When the light shone on them, they shone brightly and were dazzling.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
He specifically instructed the liaison office and reception desk to call him if there was any movement.
Lin Wen worked for another day, but couldn't bear it any longer and took a nap.
When I woke up, the situation suddenly changed.
