Chapter 139 New Home
Afterwards, Lin Wen told Qin Luoshuang what happened here.
After hearing this, the latter remained silent for a long time, just like Wolong.
After a long while, he sighed and said, "It seems that my words were in vain. I knew you were this kind of person. It turns out that the lesson humans have learned from history is that they never learn from history."
At that time, when she heard Lin Wen asking about the employment situation in the empire, she had a premonition that something like this might happen.
She was very familiar with the situation of Yaojing Lingdu. Based on Qin Luoshuang's understanding of Lin Wen, once he learned the truth, he would definitely recruit people crazily and take them all in, just like Xia did back then.
The economy of Changshan County seems to be flourishing, but it is actually very fragile. The output of the entire county has been greatly reduced after being hit by floods. The main commodities, cotton and tobacco, are all behind the Dongdao Dike.
Once the Dongdao levee collapsed, everything came to nothing.
The entire economy of Changshan County was entirely dependent on Lin Wen and her plundering from outside, just like the Song of the Sky back then.
But plundering cannot last long in a stable empire.
Lin Wen was lucky enough to get away with it this time, but next time he might fall off the cliff and be smashed to pieces.
Therefore, Changshan County must now reduce consumption and tighten its belt until the beginning of next spring, when everything returns to normal, the damage caused by the flood is completely eliminated, and homes are rebuilt, before it can consider expansion.
This was also Qin Luoshuang's biggest regret in Sky Song back then.
If I had been a little later, a little tougher, and not been so blindly optimistic and expand without considering the actual situation.
They wouldn’t recruit so many people, which would eventually lead to the collapse of the organization.
Therefore, Qin Luoshuang specifically told him about her previous painful experiences, just to make Lin Wen understand that endless kindness is an incompetent saintly behavior that will only mess everything up.
Doing things within one's capabilities is the truth for sustainable development.
But just like before, none of her advice worked.
As long as it involves matters of principle, this big fool always does his own thing and leaves no room for maneuver.
But, as "Lin Wen" said before, this is actually the person she dreams of.
It's just that Lin Wen's performance is too weird and his personal abilities are too distorted. In some aspects, he is towering and unparalleled, while in some aspects, he is blank and non-existent.
But compared to his belief that came from nowhere, these can be compensated.
Isn't she the one who makes up for it?
Perhaps that was why he went to such great lengths to pursue her.
Become what he calls a "phoenix chick".
Sure enough, Lin Wen said, "This is a different time. I have you and Wolong here, don't I? Why should I be afraid of this little difficulty?"
"Okay."
Qin Luoshuang sighed, "I will assist Lord Zhao Ming in maintaining order. You are much better than we were back then. You are a regular high-ranking official of the empire, and you possess many powers that we didn't have before. You can easily accomplish many things that we couldn't do before, and you even hold the power of military governorship."
"Also, it's great that you've established a close relationship with Changsheng. Yaojing Lingdu has many advantages that we can utilize. The pro-peace faction represented by Elder Xu is very powerful. They can help us in many ways, which is very beneficial to us."
"I will help you maintain this relationship."
"Also, Lord Zhao Ming asked me to tell you to find a way to provide some buffer. He needs time."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wen immediately thought of a solution.
He asked Qi Mu to tell everyone that incoming workers must take official transportation to Changshan County, otherwise Changshan County would not be able to verify and might refuse to accept them.
Among the transportation capacity provided by Changsheng, the bus fleet can carry more than 2,000 people, the green train can carry 5,000 people, and the three large ferries can carry 9,000 people at a time, but the ferry journey is slow and it takes three days to make a round trip.
Therefore, on average, nearly 10,000 people can be transported every day.
It is estimated on site that there may be 250,000 to 400,000 people, and the transportation will be completed in 40 days at the latest.
The 40-day buffer period can greatly reduce the pressure on Changshan County.
For them, this was completely acceptable. It saved travel expenses and avoided the uncertainty of a long journey. After all, almost no one here knew where Changshan County was.
Perfect!
Changsheng was also very considerate. He promised Lin Wen that the transportation capacity would continue until all people had been transported, and it would be completely free of charge.
Afterwards, Qin Luoshuang called again and gave him a suggestion.
Lin Wen immediately passed the suggestion to Chang Sheng.
The general idea is to let the public security guards, inspection guards and staff under the Metropolitan Government Office go to work in places such as docks that must be maintained in operation, to alleviate the window period of replacement of the old population with the new population.
At the same time, they demanded compensation from the bosses for the participation of the city government staff in the work and severely criticized them for blocking the port and disrupting order.
Changsheng accepted it immediately. As an experienced man, he immediately understood the three hidden meanings in this statement. The participation of the Metropolitan Government Office in the work was to show his achievements, and he was commanding properly in the face of the crisis. This was for the elders of the joint meeting to see.
Asking for compensation for work at the Metropolitan Government Hall is a way to generate revenue and at the same time appease the grievances of the staff below.
Severe criticism is a warning to the bosses, making them more obedient to the authority of the Metropolitan Government. At the same time, fines can be imposed on disobedient troublemakers, which is beneficial to future management.
This killed three birds with one stone, turning a bad thing into a good thing, and instantly dispelled the slight dissatisfaction in Changsheng's heart.
"County Chief Lin is truly a genius! I admire you so much!"
But in a subsequent call between Lin Wen and Qin Luoshuang, Qin Luoshuang told him that there was another meaning.
"Think about it, if the Metropolitan Government employees who usually live a life of luxury in the office were to work as laborers at the docks, wouldn't they be filled with resentment and complaints? They can't stand up to their superiors, nor can they suppress the people below them."
"They're definitely going to rip those bosses off pretty badly."
"Then, those cruel bosses will realize how valuable the hard laborers they abused before are. They will be afraid of these hard laborers going on strike again, because it will cause the devil to return."
"So, no matter how much, they will treat the hard laborers better in the future."
"Genius!"
Lin Wen sighed. In just a few words, a lot of good karma came in. Obviously, when Changsheng chose to implement this suggestion, everything became a foregone conclusion, and the good karma came directly into his account.
He is indeed a person worth 9400 good karma.
"Qin Luoshuang, you are my baby. I will never give you to anyone else. Even if your father comes, I... hey, hey, hey?"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wen was also inspired.
He decided to set up a permanent recruitment point here and hang recruitment information there all year round.
Anyone who is desperate can find a last way out through this recruitment, and it will also bring endless good fortune to Lin Wen.
At the same time, it is also a form of intimidation and an internal competition among the bosses - I am recruiting unlimited people at such a high price, and if you don’t increase the salary, I won’t be able to recruit anyone!
Are you exploiting the air if you can’t recruit people?
Hahaha!
I am such a genius!
But what Lin Wen didn't expect was.
The establishment of this recruitment point has far more profound significance than what was envisioned when it was first established.
In the near future, it will become the confidence of all workers who come to the emerging world-class metropolis, and the final spiritual home of all workers.
As long as it's here, no boss dares to beat, scold or insult his subordinates at will, because they can choose to resign at any time and then rush to the legendary final destination of all workers -
Changshan County.
