Chapter 24 The End of the Investigation
Lin Wen looked up and saw that Director Huang Mingxiao's aura was blue and white, like floating clouds covering the sun, or like a cloud tower falling to the ground, but there were tiny cracks spreading on the tower.
Generally speaking, it should indicate that the character is trustworthy and the ability can be entrusted, but there are still more details that are unclear, and the meaning represented by the combination is ever-changing, which makes Lin Wen very confused.
Forget it, as long as I know that his character and ability are fine, that's enough.
Lin Wen looked at it for less than 5 seconds and then turned off the spell.
[Observe the Qi and People] There are less than 50 minutes left, so we must use it sparingly.
If Huang Mingxiao can be trusted, then this plan can be trusted, and he won't have to waste his energy using [Immortal Guidance].
Thinking of this, Lin Wen said, "Study it carefully and make sure all the details are considered clearly and to perfection. Then send the list to the Finance Department."
"Yes, County Magistrate!" Huang Mingxiao said loudly.
Lin Wen said: "Then what is the second question?"
The director and the deputy director looked at each other and said in unison: "We are short of manpower!"
Deputy Director Zhang Qiaohe explained, "Currently, we have only about 500 staff members, including those temporarily conscripted. On average, each person is responsible for caring for 600 disaster victims. The workload is extremely heavy, and many plans are difficult to implement."
Lin Wen nodded: "Don't worry, I have formed a working group and will bring people here tomorrow. The manpower problem should be solved."
Huang Mingxiao looked very happy. He hadn't been so happy for a long time since he took over the work of caring for the disaster victims.
He felt that the new sheriff was a savior sent by God to save them, so he piled up all the other problems at once.
Most of them are problems related to the management of disaster victims. For example, there are several better resettlement sites, but because they are in low-lying areas, the victims are unwilling to go there and only want to stay in high places. In the end, there is no choice but to change the plan, which simply lengthens the temporary resettlement area, makes unified arrangements more difficult, and greatly increases the difficulty of work.
For example, it is clearly dangerous to go up the levee, with strong winds and heavy humidity, and it is easy to get sick if you sleep on it, but countless people want to go up the levee every day.
Lin Wen's head was about to explode after hearing all this and more.
Even experienced civil affairs officials cannot handle these nightmare-level government affairs, so it is even more impossible for a otaku like him to solve them. His only advantage is that he has authority and Huang Mingxiao does not. If the authority cannot solve the problem, then Lin Wen will have no other choice.
Unless he is willing to fight hard.
Based on past experience, if you use [Immortal Guidance] to force your way through so many problems, the number will most likely be a huge one.
But Lin Wen still gave it a try.
"What is the simplest and most economical way to solve these problems?"
Consumption: 10% of the soul.
Huh?
Lin Wen was surprised. Is there such a thing?
If he had asked this question in the past, it would have been a huge number that would have blinded him.
Is it actually really that simple for me to solve these problems?
The consumption was so low, even if it was just out of curiosity, Lin Wen directly chose to consume his soul to execute the spell.
After reading the answer, Lin Wen was silent for a few seconds, and then spoke in everyone's expectant eyes.
"Please photocopy the front page headline of the 81st issue of the Empire newspaper several thousand times and distribute them to the victims. Then send someone to read it to them."
"Additional information to the copy: Imperial hero Lin Wen has been crowned Governor of Changshan Commandery and will soon arrive in his loyal Paris, no, the Divinely Blessed Levee, to pray for the victims."
After hearing his words, everyone was completely bewildered. Deputy Director Zhang Qiaohe asked, "Chief Lin, what's the point of this? What's on the front page of issue 81?"
Huang Mingxiao advised, "What we say is useless. They won't even recognize what's in the newspaper. Few people here read the Imperial newspaper, and not many of the disaster victims are literate."
Lin Wen said calmly, "This is part of the plan."
"Just do as you're told. Okay, now that you've explained your problem, let's discuss the most crucial issue."
“How do we build a new home?”
Huang Mingxiao immediately returned to work and explained the original reconstruction plan to Lin Wen in detail.
Since the water of Tianjiang River carries a lot of sediment, it is very difficult to restore the areas that were washed away and flooded.
They decided to open up new land and rebuild villages and towns in the seven newly designated areas as their new homes.
The specific site selection and planning were determined by Huang Mingxiao. He explained it in great detail, detailing every idea and consideration when the plan was first formulated.
The entire project is divided into three phases.
The first phase ensures that everyone has a roof over their head, the second phase ensures that everyone has a harbor to shelter from the wind, and the third phase ensures that everyone has a home to strive for.
The Seventh Construction Corps gave a quotation of 270 million for the first phase, 1.9 billion for the second phase, and approximately 3.5 billion for the third phase.
Obviously, the fat guy's money is only enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
Lin Wen found that he was still too naive.
There is another plan to make money.
But the problem is that his bidding was essentially a fraud, and he just took advantage of the information gap. Now that the information about the update of the Empire Trunk Plan has already spread, it will be difficult for him to deceive people again.
Thinking of this, Lin Wen felt a little regretful, but since things had come to this point, there was nothing to regret.
"Take me on a field trip."
Lin Wen told Huang Mingxiao that he decided to come up with a complete plan first, and maybe the money problem would be solved by itself.
"Including all the alternative areas, look at them all."
Huang Mingxiao readily agreed. After arranging the next work for others, he went out with Lin Wen.
When leaving, Lin Wen said to Xiao Li, who was still standing there in a daze, "Xiao Li, you are the mayor of Changle Town now. Do your best and cooperate with them."
Little Li finally woke up from his dream and burst into tears, "Really? You really are the county magistrate!" He pulled Lin Wen and wiped his snot and tears on his clothes, "You must help us in the future! You must help us! Life in Changle Town is so hard!"
Huang Mingxiao also interjected: "This young man is very capable and has helped us a lot these days."
Lin Wen struggled hard to break free from Xiao Li's snot attack and got into Huang Mingxiao's off-road vehicle. There were only wild mountains and wilderness behind him, and it was difficult for his private car to pass.
Under the guidance of Huang Mingxiao, Lin Wen spent six hours inspecting all the planned areas and also took a look at the temporary resettlement sites.
The plight of the victims was much worse than he had imagined. They slept in huge collective tents, their faces pale and thin, lifeless, with only sadness and numbness in their eyes.
Due to lack of food, they could only lie motionless most of the time. Their clothes had not been changed since the night of the flood. Everyone was mixed with mud, water and dust, like insects in a dried-up swamp.
Whenever they passed by the resettlement site, they could always hear crying, from adults, children, and mostly women.
The inspection ended at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Wen was in a bad mood. After saying goodbye to Huang Mingxiao, he took a special car back to Huaizhen.
