Chapter 294: Work Begins
final.
Lin Wen once again used the First Princess as a shield.
To be honest, ever since he knew about this person, Lin Wen has used her as a shield many times, and the effect has been good every time.
No matter how unbelievable something was, once everyone heard it was related to the First Princess, they stopped questioning it.
This time was no exception. After hearing Lin Wen announce that he was the First Princess's suitor, everyone suddenly realized what was happening and showed expressions of regret but also understanding.
Afterwards, Zhao Minggong shared with Lin Wen the "Changshan County Highway Plan", "Changshan County Train Plan", "Changshan County Rail Transit Plan" and "Changshan County Metro and Possible Future Maglev Train Plan".
He also handed over the future development blueprint of Changshan County, which was at least one meter high, to Lin Wen.
Only then did he agree to continue conservative treatment according to the hospital's plan.
Looking at the planning blueprint that almost drowned him, Lin Wen decided to set up a room in the county government hall to store it, assign someone to look after it, and make it available for everyone to read.
This is Zhao Minggong's vision for the future of Changshan County for more than 30 years. It is the result of his life's work after sorting out and removing the dross. He must let everyone in the county government office draw nourishment from it. Maybe even a figure like a librarian will emerge.
That would be a great kindness.
Afterwards, Lin Wen found Qin Luoshuang and others and explained to them the detailed process of the trip to Shenjing.
After listening to this, Qin Luoshuang looked at him suspiciously: "Lin Wen, are you the emperor's illegitimate son?"
"That's right." Xia Xiaoxiang also said: "This is completely unreasonable. This is the best path the emperor can choose for you. You are not Li Linyue's real husband. We are not related..."
Yang Shaohu didn't say anything. Lin Wen's identity was not important to him at all. As long as County Chief Lin was still County Chief Lin, that was enough.
Lin Wen casually said, "You are too shallow. You don't understand the power of a tiger's body shaking and releasing its powerful aura, nor do you understand the camaraderie between heroes. When the emperor saw the handsome, tall, distinguished, and well-dressed County Governor Lin approaching, he secretly made up his mind to help him."
Ignoring their rolling eyes, Lin Wen continued, "In short, we are now facing two problems: Shizhou's retaliation and the production of 30 million artillery shells."
"The solution is very simple. Qin Luoshuang, as the head of the County Governor's Security Department, the director of the External Affairs Bureau, and the chief of staff of the headquarters, you will be fully responsible for the operations against Shizhou, including negotiations and cooperation with the Shizhou rebels and the Mingren Party."
Qin Luoshuang looked at him: "Don't you think I have too many titles?"
Lin Wen ignored her. It was unsolvable for employees and bosses to discuss interests. Qin Luoshuang was the Phoenix candidate designated by the system. Others' work was not as effective as hers, so naturally they would have less good karma, so those who were more capable must work harder.
He has magic, so he won't die from exhaustion anyway.
"You, Xia Xiaoxiang, quickly select responsible personnel from among the eight million refugees. Cooperate with Yang Shaohu and organize them to produce artillery shells as efficiently as possible."
"good!"
Yang Shaohu was full of energy, rubbing his hands in anticipation: "I will definitely complete the mission, submit a satisfactory answer to the empire, and absolutely ensure that Changshan County can safely weather this storm."
Xia Xiaoxiang looked sick and listless.
"Hey, County Chief Lin Wenlin, I've noticed you're treating me like a pig, a horse, a cow, or a dog. Are you that perverted? You beast."
Lin Wen said unhappily, "Explain yourself clearly to me."
"what?"
Xia Xiaoxiang leaned back and did a Ge You-like lying posture without any grace.
"Do you have any idea of the magnitude of this workload? The Ministry of Personnel was originally established to manage the officials of the County Government. And yet you're asking me to include refugees in your management? That's over eight million people."
Lin Wen: “Oh.”
"Oh what? Do you know what over eight million people mean? The refugee camp stretches from the east side of the Shanghuai Highway to the west side. It blocks out the sky and the sun, seemingly endless."
"And that's only part of the population. The other half is in that bizarre mountain complex. Every time the day and night shifts change, the sight of millions of people flowing in and out of that tiny piece of land is simply unimaginable."
"That's right."
Yang Shaohu's expression showed pride and emotion:
"The fact that we were able to accommodate and manage so many refugees is thanks to the Refugee Management Committee, which played a vital role in the entire relief effort."
"Organizing the refugees to manage themselves is a genius idea. Without it, we definitely wouldn't be able to take in so many people. County Chief Lin is awesome!"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "If you encounter a difficult problem in the future, you might as well think about it from this perspective."
Yang Shaohu nodded heavily: "I will."
Xia Xiaoxiang was speechless.
"You're still exaggerating. Is that what I meant? The Ministry of Personnel manages the staff of the County Government Office! Changshan County has over 40,000 people, which is already excessive! If you add 8 million refugees, how many people can there be in the entire empire? Am I the Minister of the Empire? Did you give me the title?"
Lin Wen said casually: "Well, work hard, and I will appoint you as the Chief of the Imperial Personnel Department in the future."
Xia Xiaoxiang was almost going crazy: "Can you put a little more effort into drawing the pie? At least it should look like a pie, Brother Lin."
Lin Wen said: "It's okay, your stomach function is very good, you should be able to eat it."
Bang!
Xia Xiaoxiang was angry.
She slammed the table and stood up, leaning forward, staring at Lin Wen and gritting her teeth, saying, "Lin Wen, look, my bust has shrunk. This is such a huge loss for a girl. Don't you have any expression for it?"
Yang Shaohu lowered his eyes, not wanting to look at anything inappropriate. Qin Luoshuang covered her eyes and didn't want to say a word.
Lin Wen thought hard for a while.
"Drink more hot water?"
Puff.
Qin Luoshuang couldn't help but laugh.
Yang Shaohu asked blankly, "Can drinking hot water make your breasts bigger?"
Xia Xiaoxiang was so angry that she almost fainted. She shouted, "I quit!" and ran out the door.
But he was held back by Qin Luoshuang.
Yang Shaohu suddenly became anxious: "Chief Lin, please persuade her quickly. Miss Xia is very useful. Since she took over the work of the Ministry of Personnel, everyone no longer worries about those messy things and can focus on their work. Communication between departments has also become much smoother. Before, except for the administrative department managed by Mr. Zhao, other officials were like headless flies. Now there is discipline and order, and everyone's efficiency has improved a lot..."
Lin Wen sighed, Yang Shaohu was too young.
He saw clearly that when she said "I don't want to do it anymore", she was burning with anger, which meant that she "really wanted to do it".
This is a complete lie, just ignore it.
As expected, upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoxiang's brows immediately lit up: "Brother Yang, you are still the best to me..."
Qin Luoshuang knocked her head hard: "Behave yourself. When will you change this old habit of yours?"
Xia Xiaoxiang held her head and cried out, "Oh my God, which side are you on? You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already turning your elbows outward..."
"Alright." Lin Wen interrupted their farce. "I saw that your passion is burning brightly. It should be enough to handle this level of work."
Xia Xiaoxiang's eyes widened. "What do you mean by 'burning brightly'? What do you mean by 'enough to adapt'? Do you think I'm a rubber man? I can get bigger if I stretch it?"
"Um."
"You still? Do you know how to select eight million people?"
"Didn't you do well before?"
"I'm doing it slowly, bit by bit. You want me to do it as quickly as possible? How can I do it as quickly as possible? Teach me."
Lin Wen thought about it and explained the method he remembered in detail.
"Chicken..." Xia Xiaoxiang was stuck after saying just one word. Something seemed to be glowing in her bright eyes.
Lin Wen continued, "Just supervise them. The Ministry of Personnel should retain the final authority to appoint and dismiss. After the selection, you can conduct a reverse review to see if they are qualified. This way, you can avoid the enormous workload of selecting people from eight million people."
Qin Luoshuang's eyes lit up, and she thought to herself, "This idiot actually has such profound insights? Was his previous idiot image just an act? Or does he simply not care?"
Yang Shaohu suddenly realized: "As expected of County Chief Lin, I really need to learn more!"
Xia Xiaoxiang thought for a while and said, "The workload has decreased a bit, but it's still very, very heavy."
Lin Wen said, "You need to recruit more talented people from outside. The Ministry of Personnel cannot be run by just you. Also, although Changshan County has over 40,000 staff members, only a few of them are capable..."
Qin Luoshuang and Yang Shaohu immediately agreed at the same time: "Yes, we are in need of..."
"That's enough!"
Xia Xiaoxiang hugged his head, looking like he was going crazy.
"The talented people you want are hard to find! Changshan County is still seen by outsiders as a remote, poor, backward mountainous area, a primitive tribe without airplanes, railways, trains, computer networks, or any other modern technology. Even if I find them, they won't be willing to come!"
"Come on, I believe in you."
Lin Wen casually gave an encouraging remark.
"Also, you want me to earnestly implement the Changshan County spirit, goals, and program documents I told you about earlier."
"In addition, you must also focus on construction work, personnel training, and a healthy management mechanism and a good ecosystem."
Xia Xiaoxiang clutched her chest.
"My heart aches... I feel like I'm dying..."
Lin Wen glanced at her and said, "You are very healthy. You have taken my marrow cleansing pill, so there is no need to worry about your health."
"What?" Xia Xiaoxiang was stunned. "What is the Marrow Cleansing Pill? A spring medicine or a fainting potion?"
Lin Wen ignored her and continued, "I will now talk about what will happen after the personnel are organized."
"You must choose a suitable location as soon as possible and build the factory."
"Please note, do not use large machinery. Instead, follow the model of the Changshan County Food Factory and use mud to create the factory's shape. Remember to reserve space for drainage and wiring."
"The Javanese engineering team has a spell that can solidify mud into stone... a chemical potion. After you're done, they'll sprinkle water on it and the factory will be built."
“Then we install the production line and we can start production.”
"Also, it's best to start training while construction is underway, working during the day and attending night school at night."
"Although the production process of artillery shells is simple, it does involve gunpowder. I don't want to see any safety accidents happen. Do you understand?"
Yang Shaohu's heart surged when he heard this, and he said loudly, "I understand."
