Chapter 141 The Emperor of the Empire
Shenjing.
Emperor's Tower.
The top layer.
The sunlight shines into the window at a 35-degree angle.
Li Longxing was in a good mood, which meant that good things would happen today.
"Father."
Sure enough, when he was sitting on the throne in the palace thinking about the egg problem, the voice of his beloved daughter came back.
"Lin Yue, you are back, come to your father's arms."
First Princess Li Linyue seemed not to have heard his words and said with a smile, "Uncle Sheng has agreed to the new plan."
"Thank you for your hard work. Go take a shower and rest for a while. How about the Emperor of the Empire personally scrub your back?"
Li Linyue's smile seemed to remain fixed on her beautiful face, unchanging. "I have already persuaded several opponents in the highest military departments of the empire to defect. We will soon be able to control some troops in the central region."
"Oh, are you hurt? Come on, let dad check you out."
Li Linyue's brows frowned unconsciously, ruining her perfect expression.
She tried to discuss the issue seriously, but Li Longxing's increasingly absurd and perverted words made her unbearable, and even her perfect etiquette was exposed.
In the end, I could only leave sadly.
After successfully driving the First Princess away, Li Longxing changed into formal attire and went to the Supreme Meeting.
They were discussing military and national affairs and arguing heatedly, but Li Longxing just wanted to sleep.
After a while, the issue of Jiedu power arose.
Sure enough, that old guy Yu Zhongxian had bad intentions. He proposed to directly take back the military power of the interesting new governor of Changshan County.
Li Longxing didn't even say a word and directly pressed the veto button.
The power of Jiedu was regarded as an extension of imperial power, and the emperor had the power to veto the granting or deprivation of it.
This is also the reason why Sheng Huaixuan was able to obtain such special power in the beginning. Other governors did not have this ability.
The eight elders did not speak on this issue, otherwise they would be bitten by the mad dog Senate.
Although the nobles, elders and pillars of the country have no real power, they are highly respected and it is best not to touch them lightly.
Then there are changes in the joint ownership and authorship rights.
Sheng Huaixuan had strongly advocated for Lin Wen's application for the power of Jiedushi. If Lin Wen fell, it would prove that the power of Jiedushi was given to the wrong person, which would involve heavy joint liability, and the Supreme Council would have a lot of excuses to attack him.
But after the grantor was changed to the imperial headquarters, it became a grant after joint consultation, and even if something went wrong, the law would not hold everyone responsible.
Without this condition, it would be pure wishful thinking for them to ask Changshan County to break away from the protection of Dongqinzhou.
Then there is the issue of the administrative affiliation of Changshan County.
All parties have reached a consensus on this. Sheng Huaixuan has acquiesced, and Yu Zhongxian has also acquiesced. Based on their respective interests, both parties have actually achieved a common goal. It can only be said that the kid is too suicidal.
But, I like it.
Li Longxing has read the boy's actions more than a dozen times. The detailed report on the new mayor of Changshan County submitted by the spy has become his favorite reading material in his spare time.
But that did not prevent him from casting a vote of approval as the first elder.
As a result, Changshan County became administratively independent and was no longer under the management of Dongqinzhou.
As a rare independent county, its administrative rights have been transferred to the imperial headquarters.
In other words, from now on, every absurd thing the new county governor did would be judged by the imperial headquarters, and Sheng Huaixuan could no longer cover up everything and give him protection, favoritism and support without any bottom line.
He will face all the storms in the empire.
Good luck.
Next, Yu Zhongxian spread negative information about Lin Wen at the Supreme Elders' Meeting.
The dispute at the joint meeting continued.
In the eyes of outsiders, the eight elders appear to be one, but once you step into the upper echelons, you will realize how serious the differences among the elders are.
After about three minutes, the four elders stopped the dispute.
"Since when has the Supreme Council of Elders actually been discussing the issue of a county governor?"
"Isn't it the people of the empire that you're concerned about? Isn't it a way to reverse the empire's decline?"
"Is a mere county governor worth wasting your time?"
"Just leave it to the Imperial Headquarters."
As the First Elder, Li Longxing was on the same side as the four Great Elders at this time. He immediately interrupted and said, "No one from the Supreme Elder Council is allowed to interfere in matters like this."
"The empire's supreme power should not be wasted on petty intrigues."
"It is because the Supreme Power arbitrarily interferes with the affairs of the lower levels of the empire that order is disrupted and the situation is in chaos!"
This deep throat thrust, delivered at a perfect angle by His Majesty the Emperor, was so powerful and forceful that it instantly choked everyone. The four elders immediately expressed their agreement: "I agree with the First Elder!"
“This should become an iron rule!”
"The Empire will not allow this chaos to continue!"
"Supreme power must not be abused. This is destroying the sanctity of the empire!"
As referees, although the elders do not participate in actual affairs, they can create rules, interpret rules, restrict players, and even replace players.
The First Princess Li Linyue, who was sitting in the corner listening, felt both admiration and confusion. She didn't understand why her wise and brave father always acted abnormally in front of her and never discussed with her how to restore the glory of the empire.
And at the Supreme Elders' Meeting, even though he was already wearing shackles, he was still able to launch perfect attacks in the gaps.
This was the one she had known since childhood.
His Majesty the Supreme Emperor.
Therefore, Li Linyue has always believed it.
As long as my father can take charge of the government.
The Empire will be great again.
And she will become the regent queen of the next era of the empire, helping her younger brother to become the emperor of the empire and bring the empire back to its peak of glory.
so.
She thought to herself.
All obstacles that hinder the expansion of imperial power must be removed.
At all costs.

When Lin Wen returned to Changshan County, his good karma had exceeded 4,000.
And it is still growing rapidly, and the second magical power is already just around the corner.
The joint session was quickly declared over after hastily dealing with some conflicting issues among the states and a few unlucky people on the second day.
Lin Wen did not pay attention to the alienation of the officials of the Governor's Office. As soon as the meeting ended, he immediately returned to Changshan County.
Qi Mu stayed here to continue handling recruitment-related matters, and Tian Jiajia and other new employees were responsible for assisting him.
Before leaving, Lin Wen had already seen the overwhelming advertising for Yaojing Lingdu.
On the way back, there were large and beautiful photos of Yaojing Lingdu everywhere, with various breathtaking night scenes, accompanied by various elegant and beautiful sentences, and a noble air floating above the atmosphere came to the face.
On the Internet, Yaojing Lingdu was one step ahead of the rest of the world and began frantic marketing. Almost all websites received sponsorship fees from the mayor Changsheng and began advertising crazily. The newly formed water army was fully active, and according to Lin Wen's instructions, they frantically replied to all the posts.
"Yaojing Lingdu is far superior to Longjing, no explanation needed."
"Unless you are spiritual, you are not a human being."
"Yaojing is the best capital in the world."
Various posts praising Yaojing Lingdu popped up like mushrooms after a rain. Without exception, they were extremely popular and were placed in the most prominent positions on various portal websites.
At the same time, Changsheng gritted his teeth and decided to take a bigger step. It didn't matter if he pulled his balls. At worst, he could just have it cut off to cure it permanently.
So suddenly, all the banks, investment banks, loan institutions, and credit institutions in Yaojing Lingdu all lowered their thresholds. Loans that could not be squeezed out even by begging for help before are now being given out like crazy. Even bank salesmen come to your door to beg you for a loan. The interest rate is negotiable, as long as the loan is given.
So, overnight, it seemed that everyone in Yaojing Lingdu became rich. Everyone waved their money around to buy things that they could not afford before. The market demand was extremely prosperous, and the economy rebounded rapidly. In the near future, it even became a rare bright spot in the gloomy situation of the empire.
Of course, Lin Wen had not had the chance to see this bustling scene of prosperity and flowers. He had already arrived in Changshan County and met the first group of workers who had arrived.
There were 16,000 people in total, 7,000 of whom arrived by land transport first, and 9,000 by water transport arrived the day later.
Zhao Minggong established a new Changshan County Labor Department, which was specifically responsible for maintaining contact with the recruitment point far away in Lingdu, monitoring the transportation of laborers in real time, and being responsible for receiving and placing them.
Every arriving worker will be given two sets of standard work clothes, two bars of fragrant soap, a soft towel, and sufficient toiletries and labor protection supplies.
They also experienced sulfur disinfection and collective bathing, and then officially entered the Ministry of Labor and became laborers employed by the Changshan County Government Office.
The monthly salary is 800 yuan, with 5 days of vacation per month, which can be arranged by yourself and accumulated. There is money for overtime, and food and accommodation are provided.
Of course, if we follow the standard treatment published by the empire, the salary in Changshan County is far below this standard.
But for the workers who come here, the income is much higher than what they earned when they worked in Yaojing. Their average income is 500 yuan, and the highest is 1,000 yuan, but food and accommodation are not provided, so they can't even save 300 yuan a month.
Those who earn 500 yuan are even worse off. They live next to sewers and sewage, have insufficient food and clothing, and are beaten and scolded while working themselves to death.
800 yuan for free food and accommodation is their biggest wish, and they don’t care about anything else.
This group of people who arrived were all young and healthy men, and they were settled in Qingze Township, six kilometers away from Huaizhen.
Qingze Township had been abandoned for many years and there were almost no habitable houses. Zhao Minggong spent money to purchase a large number of detachable temporary sheds as temporary residences for the construction site and settled them here.
One shed can accommodate ten people. Zhao Minggong bought 5,000 of them at one time. In addition to the expenses of various labor protection supplies and daily necessities, he had spent nearly 50 million before the work even started.
Fortunately, Changshan County is rich now, but if it continues to spend like this, it won’t last long, not to mention the biggest expense - wages.
