Chapter 185 Kindness
Yu Changsheng has been staying in the western mountainous area of Changshan County for a month and feels like grass is growing on his head.
The moment he received Zhang Shuangcheng's telegram, he almost jumped up.
"Fuck the bear, he's finally here. He should have told me whether to beat me or kill me earlier. He wouldn't have kept me here for so long without even a woman."
The tobacco smuggling group led by Yu Changsheng is a professional team. Due to the huge amount of money involved, all management is very strict.
Therefore, there was nothing in the bases in the mountains except armed personnel, smuggled personnel, goods and transport vehicles.
Yu Changsheng shouted, "Men, come here quickly. The Governor has given instructions."
With a loud noise, a large group of people gathered together.
"Finally."
"Finally, I don't have to stay here anymore."
"Boss Yu, tell me, whether to fight or make peace, and the brothers will do it immediately."
Yu Changsheng said loudly: "The Governor has instructed that peace is the most important thing. Fighting and killing are not good."
One person asked, "How?"
Yu Changsheng cursed, "You're catering to their needs, giving them what they want, using coercion and inducement, is there anything else to say? Idiot!"
Another person asked: "What does that young boy like?"
Yu Changsheng read the telegram carefully and said, "Money, women."
The brothers looked at each other and one of them said, "It's too ordinary. It's boring. It doesn't bring out the special talents of the brothers."
Yu Changsheng angrily scolded, "Idiot! It's because she's ordinary that she's hard to deal with. Ordinary means she's demanding. Do you know how much money you should give? And how would County Chief Lin be interested in an ordinary woman? And he specifically wants her to be fourteen or fifteen years old."
One of the brothers slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, Boss Yu. I have connections with the Qin Group. They've recently acquired a large number of high-quality prostitutes. I'm sure I can pick out a few stunning ones to satisfy County Chief Lin."
Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Okay, go and choose. Pick as many women as you can. If he's satisfied with them, you can pay less. Go now. If you succeed, it will be a great achievement for you."
The man took the order and left.
Another person asked, "Who should we choose to go to the negotiations?"
Yu Changsheng said, "Fang Yingliang, you go."
A middle-aged man with a horse face stepped forward and said, "Yes, Boss Yu."
"Do you know what to do?"
Fang Yingliang said, "I know! It's the same old rule! Money paves the way, beauty leads to the water!"
Yu Changsheng said with satisfaction: "Okay, go ahead."
Fang Yingliang immediately led a group of people away.
At this moment, thunder suddenly rumbled and the sound of thunder resounded through the sky.
Soon, bean-sized raindrops began to fall. Yu Changsheng glanced at the barren and desolate mountainous land. Thinking of the economic hardship of Shizhou and the chaotic situation in the empire, he suddenly sighed, "These are troubled times."
——
On the 9th, bad news came from the empire. The Adriano Cavalry Regiment broke through Huaian County, an important town in the south of Zezhou. The mayor of Huaian County was killed in the battle and the garrison officer was captured.
Former Zezhou Governor Wu Jingtang led 30,000 puppet troops to defeat the Luozhou and Gwangju armies that came to rescue.
On the 10th, Nan'an, the capital of Zezhou, which had been resisting stubbornly, was captured, and Adriano immediately massacred the city.
On the 11th, Adriano's main force, the 1st Mountain Division and the Papal Monks, entered Zezhou. At the same time, the Delhi Cavalry Regiment once again defeated the armies of Nazhou, Gwangju and Jungju, and the states had to retreat to protect themselves.
Adriano successfully occupied the entire territory of Zezhou and officially declared war on the empire.
On the 12th, the two stars of the empire each led six divisions to the nearby Naju, Gwangju and Jungju. The two sides faced each other and war was imminent.
The eyes of the whole world are focused here.
All the channels of the Empire are talking about the reasons why the war is inevitable, and various commentators are arguing about the Empire's advantages.
In the program, both the pros and cons were either openly or secretly praising the bravery of the Imperial Army and the excellence of the Imperial Twin Stars.
No one noticed that the Council suddenly increased its supervision of the implementation of the repatriation regulations in Naju and Gwangju. They stepped up their efforts to expel refugees fleeing the war, and the governors of the two states tacitly condoned the Council's actions.
A large number of refugees were driven out and forced to flee to Zhongzhou.
Zhongzhou.
Governor's Office.
Wang Boan was banging his head on the table.
"I said to take it, so we take it. If no one wants to take it, where do you want them to go? Leave them to those barbaric butchers?"
The director of the State Government Office shouted, "Governor! No one else is accepting refugees, so why should we? This is clearly a scam!"
The head of the logistics department said, "Governor, we don't have enough supplies! After the Delhi massacre, there are millions of refugees fleeing! They will overwhelm our logistics!"
Wang Boan was furious, "Bullshit! Where did my inventory go? Did you, a piece of shit, embezzle it?"
The Governor's sister, Wang Honghua, advised, "Don't be angry, brother. He's not worried about you. Of course, the inventory is sufficient, but it won't last long. We still have to supply the soldiers on the front lines, and we also have Yang Jiewei, one of the Twin Stars. If the main force of the empire were to cause trouble and run out of supplies here, it would be a serious crime."
Wang Boan said impatiently, "Let's collect it first. The empire will provide assistance."
Everyone looked at each other, and Wang Honghua asked, "What if you don't give it to me?"
Wang Boan slammed the gun on the table and said, "I'm going to the Supreme Elders' Council with the gun!"
——
Lin Wen has been a little annoyed lately.
Although the dike repair work went smoothly, he only finished half of it in a little over two weeks.
His daily good karma in Changshan County has reached 251.
In other words, even if he does nothing every day, he still has 251 points of good karma.
This was simply unthinkable in the past.
In addition to part of the credit for the dike construction, it should also be due to Yang Shaohu's continuous adaptation to the work and his ability to play a greater role, as well as the result of more talented people joining Changshan County and shining.
His Yuan Shen also increased to 100.31%, and was still growing faster and faster.
This is probably because, as Changshan County becomes stronger, more and more people are enjoying the dividends of Changshan County's development.
But he was still a little annoyed.
Because he had already felt several problems urgently.
The first question.
Personnel arrangements.
Qin Luoshuang and Zhao Minggong have repeatedly asked him to convene a meeting as soon as possible to establish all personnel arrangements and planning goals for Changshan County.
But Lin Wen was not born to attend meetings. The last time he attended a meeting was to rebuild his home and purge the corrupt officials in the county government office. Now the bald man who was beaten to death is still in prison.
Baldy's position is the director of the county government office. This theoretically number two position in Changshan County is still vacant.
Moreover, there are at least seven or eight vacant positions of heads of important departments in Changshan County.
It’s not that Lin Wen doesn’t want to make the arrangement, but he doesn’t know who to choose.
He has already asked [The Immortal for guidance].
Who is the most suitable person to be the director of the county government?
Consumption: 1900% of the soul.
Lin Wen narrowed the scope of the problem three times, until it was narrowed down to Changshan County, but this problem still consumed 260% of his spiritual energy.
If the scope is narrowed down to "near me", the consumption drops sharply to 20%, but Lin Wen has had experience and knows that asking this question is equivalent to gambling.
You might get lucky, but the more likely outcome is a meaningless answer.
Now, his soul means good karma, money, and everything to him, and it is not allowed to be abused.
If there were only a few important positions left, he might just use them if he gritted his teeth, but what about the large number of mid-level and lower-level positions?
Did he ask them one by one?
Now, the personnel promotion in Changshan County and the management of the county government should be on the right track.
The structure of the county hall should be clear, simple, efficient, progressive and well-defined.
Lin Wen’s current structure is no structure at all, with just a few people responsible for all the work.
If there were still a few thousand people, this structure would be fine.
But the problem is that the number of employees in Changshan County Government Office has reached nearly 500,000 and is still expanding rapidly.
Lin Wen was not afraid of anyone who came. In his opinion, as long as they were not black, they were all part of providing good karma, whether they provided it actively or passively, they were all useful people.
In this case, a reasonable organizational structure, a fair promotion system and a reward and punishment mechanism are very necessary.
Otherwise, the internal order will be in chaos, which will inevitably reduce his daily good karma.
Who will be responsible for this matter?
Lin Wen has been thinking about this question while hammering the levee recently.
In addition, there is another problem, which is the follow-up issue of rebuilding homes.
Although the new town has been built and 300,000 disaster victims have found new homes, the town’s government agency has not been established. It is currently managed by Huang Mingxiao and the temporary command center.
But as everything in the new town got on track, Huang Mingxiao and the temporary command center were no longer suitable for management. It was necessary to establish a town hall for the new town and appoint a new mayor to manage it.
Huang Mingxiao should return to the County Government Office as soon as possible and fully preside over the work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The temporary headquarters for home reconstruction should be disbanded and officials should return to their respective posts.
The subsequent second and third phases of the project should be carried out by a specialized engineering team.
This brings up another question: how to arrange for Lei Tiantong?
Lin Wen has already promised Lao Xie that he will be the director. Lei Tiantong has worked so hard in the temporary command center. He can't go back and demote him, right?
There is also the issue of the resettlement of a series of officials including Yuan Zhimen.
In addition, there is the employment problem of the residents of the new town. Most of them used to be farmers who grew tobacco, tea and crops. After the flood, the plantations were destroyed and it is difficult to recover in a short period of time. There is not much land suitable for farming around the new town.
You can't always rely on relief.
Then there’s the issue of money.
Changshan County had huge consumption but almost no income. There were very few formal commercial activities in Changshan County. In the past, the bulk of the tax revenue was agricultural tax and tobacco tax. After the flood, tobacco tax was zero, and agricultural tax was exempted at the suggestion of Zhao Minggong.
What remained were commercial taxes and some miscellaneous taxes, which were not much, and Lin Wen had basically waived all that he could.
The construction work was almost entirely done by workers hired by the Ministry of Labor. Apart from a few invited experts, there were no other people.
Speaking of which, he still needs a talent in economics.
Lin Wen had a plan in mind. If Xiao Xiao became a little more reliable, he would temporarily appoint him to see the results.
Among these problems, money is the biggest one.
Lin Wen has decided that if the plan never works, he will go to other places to find some rich people and help them do some good things.
It can also be considered a form of robbing the rich to help the poor.
You can also earn some good karma.
Although it is a bit less efficient, it is not bad.
Just when Lin Wen was thinking about which state to go to first, Qin Luoshuang called and told him that someone wanted to discuss cooperation with him.
She also warned that this group of people had ill intentions and should be handled with caution.
Here it comes.
Lin Wen showed a kind smile, put down the 100-ton sledgehammer, jumped off the levee, and rushed towards Huai Town.
