Chapter 133 Qin and Xia's Song in the Sky (Part 1)
Although I know it won't have much effect, it's just a last-ditch effort without much hope of success.
But when failure really came, Lin Wen was still very unhappy.
Yu Zhongxian, in particular, was like a turtle, with no reaction to his attack, nor did he get furious and fight him to the death on the spot.
Damn softie.
Lin Wen thought angrily.
Back in the car, Qi Mu, who had been waiting there for a long time, asked in surprise, "Boss Lin, you're back? Is the meeting over? What was the result?"
Lin Wen didn't want to talk any more and said casually, "Re-examination in a month."
He told the special car driver to drive and prepare to go home.
I can only wait for the next opportunity.
Lin Wen thought.
It is also a good thing to be able to make good connections.
As long as I adjust my mindset, keep my heart focused on the Dao, and don't get contaminated by this worldly world, I'll be fine and be able to persevere.
And the second magical power will be activated immediately.
Changshan County's daily good karma is now over 30. He now has 3,588 points of good karma, and it won't be long before it reaches 5,000 points.
This is what he is most looking forward to now.
After returning to the hotel, Lin Wen called Qin Luoshuang and briefly explained the situation.
Qin Luoshuang was silent for a moment, then said, "It should have passed. There are very few cases where a person is convicted after undergoing a review. With a month's operation time, any crime can be settled."
"oh."
"If the Council wants to continue attacking you, they won't focus on the same crime. They will definitely find a new excuse."
"But now that I'm here, as long as I can get the secret service up and running, it will be hard for them to have a better chance."
This was said with a bit of domineering attitude, which Lin Wen liked. He smiled and said, "Very good, you are indeed the chosen Phoenix Child. You are indeed very reliable."
"but."
Qin Luoshuang continued, "Although you have saved Sheng Huaixuan from being attacked because of Jieduquan's disorderly orders, judging from the content of the accusation, it will be difficult for him to pass this test."
"Will he die?"
"Impossible. Removing a powerful governor requires a considerable amount of time. Slowly stripping away his power bit by bit until it is weakened to a certain extent. Only then will the removal and criminalization be brought up at the meeting."
"Sheng Huaixuan is currently at the height of his power, commanding numerous elite soldiers and generals. Directly dismissing him would cause turmoil in the empire and would not pass muster with the imperial faction. The elders will not allow such a thing to happen."
"So this meeting is a warning to Sheng Huaixuan. The specific outcome will depend on Governor Sheng's methods. If he is seriously injured, he may be forced to give up on you to mitigate the damage."
"Oh." Lin Wen asked, "Then what should I do?"
"Let's wait for the result of Governor Sheng's impeachment, which may take a day or two. If you have time, visit Yunzhou Governor Zhao Chaoyang and Zhongzhou Governor Wang Bo'an."
"Although everything is uncertain at the moment, it's not a bad thing to just get in touch."
"Also, Lord Zhao Ming asked me to tell you that all work in Changshan County has been fully launched, and economic development is developing rapidly. He has already made plans for the next ten years."
"But there is a serious lack of outstanding talents, which is the biggest factor restricting the development of Changshan County."
"He asked you to recruit some talented people from Yaojing Lingdu and train them as grassroots affairs officers."
"Changshan County's recruitment efforts at the County Government level have completely failed. The notice has been publicly displayed at the Imperial Headquarters for a long time, and apart from spies and those with ulterior motives, no one has applied to be transferred."
"He said that if it's your personal charm, you should be able to recruit some very outstanding people as his candidates."
These words made Lin Wen feel happy and sad. Although he believed in his personal charm, he could only show his talents in the world of cultivating immortals.
In the physical world, he is just an ordinary person, and it is difficult to attract real people just by shaking his tiger body.
Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick are a display of his overflowing character. People with 9400 good karmas are not found everywhere.
But Wolong’s time is running out, where can he find the next Wolong?
"Qin Luoshuang."
Lin Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "If, if I let you take over Wolong's job, would that be feasible?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for at least ten minutes before a faint sigh was heard.
"Lin Wen, even if I have the talent, you shouldn't appoint me like this. If I were to take charge of both domestic and foreign affairs, you would be completely sidelined. In the empire's structure, this is the treatment only a loser on the verge of being eliminated would receive."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "It's okay. I hold the power of Jiedu, and it's impossible for me to be sidelined. If you are worried about your achievements becoming too great and threatening the emperor, we can definitely form a closer relationship to ensure political stability."
On the satellite phone, Qin Luoshuang's voice was slightly distorted: "What do you mean?"
"You can recognize the thief as your father, bah, bah, but you should recognize me. Imagine if we were father and daughter..."
Snap!
The phone seemed to be thrown out, and after a moment a voice was heard: "Miss Qin, why did you drop the phone?"
It was Bai Xiu Yu's voice, and she seemed to have picked up the phone.
"Brother Lin must have said he doesn't want you anymore!"
This is Bai Yatou's voice.
There was a click, and it seemed as if the phone was taken away.
Then there was a bang, and it seemed like someone was running out of the door.
It was a long time before Qin Luoshuang's voice was heard.
She said coldly, "Lin Wen, please stop making such excessive jokes."
Lin Wen noticed that she seemed angry, and immediately opened his Seven Apertures Heart. This was his only treasure, worth 9,400 good karmas. He was so afraid that water would flow out if he held it in his mouth, so how could he allow her to suffer any injustice?
Qiqiao Linglongxin lived up to expectations and immediately performed a talent show.
It's strange to say, the Seven-Aperture Heart was almost useless to Qin Luoshuang before, even the famous poem "The Goddess of Luo River" was destroyed, but now it has become a special attack, and the effect has almost reached the maximum.
"What else do you want?"
Qin Luoshuang said angrily, forcibly interrupting the performance of Qiqiao Linglongxin.
But Lin Wen could clearly hear that her tone had softened, probably because she had calmed down. He immediately shut down his Seven Apertures Heart and returned to his normal state. He said, "I'd like to ask, what is the current employment situation in the Empire?"
Qin Luoshuang was silent for a moment, then said, "It's very bad. Due to unfavorable foreign wars, the empire lost control of the Grand Canal of Baiji. Exports have suffered a severe setback, and many businesses have closed down. The unemployment rate this year may reach 18%."
"Last year, the number of graduates reached tens of millions, and there were also a large number of people who went to technical schools and lost their jobs, totaling at least over 30 million."
"But major businesses, companies, and departments rarely hire and are only constantly laying off staff. You people in remote areas may not feel it, but in the prosperous areas of the empire, internal fighting has already flown like a river of blood. Even for the opportunity of a job, they are willing to give anything."
Lin Wen was silent for a moment, then asked, "Was the empire like this before?"
Qin Luoshuang replied, "This phenomenon became very serious a few years ago. It appeared as soon as the empire's economy declined."
"That year, when Xia and I founded the Utopia of Sky Song, the newly formed stable structure had reached a certain scale, and countless people immediately flocked to it. On the busiest day, I received one million applications, and in a month the total was close to 25 million. Xia even came to me excitedly to tell me that the paradise on earth was about to be built."
"Because our economy couldn't afford so many people, I rejected 98% of them. Xia and I were angry about this for a month, but even if we only accepted 500,000 new people, our dream would have collapsed."
Lin Wen listened quietly, and suddenly he realized that this seemed to be a replica of the fantasy Owen.
"At that time, Xia and I could only get about 30 million in pocket money each month. I used my special status in the family to get another 30 million from the family treasury, a total of 60 million."
"After 500,000 new members joined, Sky Song's scale has expanded to 800,000 people, with a monthly expenditure of 90 million, which is still not enough."
"We are implementing a dream system in our territory. We are trying to create a kind of fairness that doesn't exist, an enlightened philosophy. We advocate for everyone to work together, distribute products equally, hold various public welfare activities, provide free education, and build a dreamland without coercion and oppression, where everyone can be happy."
"Everything went smoothly in the early days, and the blueprint of the golden dream was realized step by step. At that time, Xia and I were the happiest. We naively believed that we might be able to change the world, or at least protect some people."
"As it expanded, it became difficult to hide. I told my father that it was a private force I had built myself. He was very happy to bring it under the protection of the Ming Gang, so that the nearby roving forces would not dare to interfere."
"When it expanded to 100,000 people, many people with lofty ideals joined us, and our strength entered a period of rapid expansion."
"When it expanded to 200,000 people, it had reached its peak and its fame had accumulated to a certain level."
"That was when Imperial Marshal Fu Wenyu's expeditionary force was completely annihilated in the Western Continent. When the news hit, stocks across the empire plummeted overnight, countless companies went bankrupt instantly, and the Empire State Building in Yaojing even created the famous "jumping waterfall," with thousands of people jumping to their deaths in a single day."
"That year was the turning point when the empire's economy went from its peak to decline, and it was also the beginning of a series of failures."
"That summer, our organization expanded rapidly, reaching 800,000 members. However, problems also arose. Due to insufficient income to cover expenses, we were forced to reduce benefits, increase labor intensity, and divert part of our profits to supplement the organization's expenses."
"Dissatisfaction began to grow, and conflicts gradually increased. Xia and I were so overwhelmed and busy with money problems that we didn't realize these problems."
