Chapter 173 Out of reach
As soon as Lin Wen returned to Changshan County, the imperial aid funds arrived in Changshan County’s account.
Finally, nearly two months after the flood, Changshan County received the first aid from the empire.
The total amount is 83.3 million, including the poverty special fund owed by Changshan County for one year.
In addition, the empire also sent a special letter to Changshan County, stating that there will be another phase of 36 million disaster relief aid, which will be distributed as planned next month, and relief supplies will arrive in the near future.
The food aid provided in the plan will also be redistributed.
Nice needle.
Lin Wen thought.
This guy named Xu Chengfeng is really smart.
Now, the total funds on the county government's books have reached 2.111 billion, and the first month's salary of more than 460,000 county government staff and employees in Changshan County, totaling about 400 million, has been paid out.
After receiving their first salary, these new members of Changshan County finally settled down completely.
Their letters, like snowflakes, floated to Yaojing or their hometowns, reporting the rare peace to their loved ones.
The warehouses in Changshan County were already full, and Zhao Minggong had piled up enough supplies to last for two months.
Coupled with abundant funds, Changshan County can now be said to have sufficient granaries.
Even if you live off your savings, you can still last for a long time.
In order to cope with this huge amount of financial management and material procurement work, the County Government Finance Department has now become an extremely large department.
The number of employees that Mr. Xie originally led has soared from 113 to 2,100. The fifth floor of the County Hall, which was originally empty, is now occupied by the entire Finance Department.
Old Xie is not only in great glory now, he almost seems to be floating when he walks.
The only regret is that Lao Lei has not yet returned to the Finance Department to become his subordinate and obey his whipping and teachings, which is a bit of a pity.
Now, all departments in County Hall are looking to the Finance Department, trying to find ways to fabricate requests for budget increases or appropriations.
Since Lin Wen never cared about these trivial matters, the position of director of the county government office, which was usually responsible for such affairs, had been vacant for a long time, so this authority fell into the hands of the Finance Department.
Now, in the entire county government office, apart from the County Governor's Guard Department and the emerging Long-term Cooperation Department, the Finance Department is the most popular.
All this was thanks to the wealthy people of Changshan County. This place, which they considered a lawless place, became their grave.
Now, there are almost no voices of opposition in County Hall, only calls to intensify the efforts and not stop.
Qin Luoshuang made a special trip to report this work to Lin Wen.
The work of the Changshan County Forbidden Spell Mage Corps was very successful.
Qin Luoshuang recruited a large number of retired court personnel, marginalized council chairmen, and supervisory guards who were well-known but could not be promoted for various reasons from all over the empire.
These experienced old men played a huge role. Like hounds, they dug out all the hidden wealthy people, confiscated their wealth, and settled their crimes.
In an environment like Changshan County, few people who can become rich have blood debts on their hands, and few people have money without blood and tears.
All of a sudden, all the arrogant and lawless guys in Changshan County disappeared, and there was not a single rich man left who couldn't wait to walk with his legs spread wide when he went out.
After that, the Forbidden Spell Master Corps continued to lower the standard, from 10 million, to 1 million, to 500,000.
After clearing out the 500,000 yuan, there were few rich people left in Huai Town.
After uncovering a large number of heinous crimes, the Forbidden Spell Masters attempted to lower the standards and expand the scope again, even demanding that the standards be lowered directly to 10,000.
Qin Luoshuang did not agree immediately, and Lin Wen immediately rejected the proposal after hearing it.
"Tell them to pause and go back to carefully review the cases on hand, clarify the details, and fill in the gaps. Don't add any new cases for the time being."
The cleaning work must be done with caution and matters must be handled with care.
"They have to be calmer and more mature before they can continue working."
"The cleanup is only allowed to proceed slowly. The work must be done meticulously and carefully. Anyone whose guilt is uncertain must come to me. Do you understand?"
Qin Luoshuang nodded and said, "The revenue of the Finance Department will drop sharply. We must find new sources of income. Otherwise, with the current consumption of the county, we won't be able to sustain it for too long."
Lin Wen smiled slightly: "Don't worry, my plan is only halfway through. The real big fish has not been hooked yet."
Afterwards, Qin Luoshuang reported to him the countermeasures to the imperial review.
The Imperial General Supervisory Office will soon be stationed in Changshan County to replace the supervisory office in Changshan County.
Of course, there is no problem with Changshan County’s output value. What is problematic is the source of funds and some of Lin Wen’s behaviors.
After learning the news, Qin Luoshuang immediately set about clearing out all the information that should not be made public in Changshan County. All the wealthy people who were purged were charged with treason, and the other crimes were only supplementary charges.
Lin Wen didn't understand and didn't want to ask, but to show his respect for Qin Luoshuang's work, he casually asked, "Do they have the guts to rebel?"
Qin Luoshuang said calmly, "Of course there are. They were all instructed by the Southwest Region Commander, Qin Gang, to plot a rebellion. The evidence is irrefutable, and I have Qin Gang's handwritten letters in my hands."
Lin Wen thought for a moment and asked, "Is Qin Gang your nominal father?"
Qin Luoshuang nodded.
Lin Wen smiled and said, "I'll take over this title..."
Halfway through his words, seeing Qin Luoshuang's dangerous gaze, Lin Wen wisely shut his mouth.
After all, this is a treasure worth 9,400 good karmas, and it cannot be hit or touched.
"Okay, I'll be leaving now. You should try to learn from me as much as possible. It would be best if you could handle all these things according to my instructions."
Lin Wen stood up and prepared to leave the office of the director of the county governor's security department.
That’s right, the director reports to the county governor, and the county governor comes to the director’s office to hear the report.
This is also a unique sight in Changshan County, and the scorpion poop is the only one of its kind in the empire.
Just as he was about to leave, Qin Luoshuang suddenly asked, "Lin Wen, if, if the emperor of the empire proposed to you, wanting to marry the first princess to you, how would you respond?"
Lin Wen said casually, "It's out of my reach."
The first fairy is pretty good.
Just as she was about to step out, she suddenly heard Qin Luoshuang ask again, "What if the First Princess's dowry is generous? The previous princess with the title of First Princess's dowry was 6.6 billion."
Lin Wen's foot suddenly stopped in mid-air.
After a moment, I heard his slightly bitter voice: "It's out of my reach."
Qin Luoshuang asked again, "What if the emperor promised that if you marry the First Princess, Changshan County will receive a large amount of resources and assistance to ensure that Changshan County is built into a metropolis like Yaojing Lingdu?"
Lin Wen's left foot spun in the air, drawing an arc.
He looked at Qin Luoshuang.
Qin Luoshuang's eyes sparkled in the dim office.
He hesitated for a moment, his left foot hanging in the air without touching the ground.
"Really... No, this is impossible. It's out of my reach. It's out of my reach."
He turned back around, put his left foot down on the ground, and walked out the door as if nothing had happened.
All in harmony...
