Chapter 298 Finding a Husband
Lin Wen took great effort to break free from the old lady's pestering and walked around the mountain building.
It is true as they say, all the hallways and stairs are narrow.
The architectural drawings given by [Asking Yutian] originally compressed the public areas to the extreme in order to maximize the living area.
In the past life, this kind of designer would have been dragged out and fired by the real estate developer. The common area is so small, would you play with it?
But going to the other extreme is not good either. With more than 100,000 people crammed into a mountain-shaped building, the narrow corridors are simply a nightmare.
However, apart from this, there is nothing else unbearable. After such a long period of renovation, the mountain building has become more and more like a residential area rather than a cave.
All the rough spots on the mountain were smoothed out and covered with warm-colored wallpaper, the ground was covered with wooden floors, and electric lights were installed in every corner.
The large honeycomb house where people live is filled with neatly arranged multi-layered wooden beds.
To prevent falls from high-rise beds and to give people a little pitiful privacy, the beds are enclosed with wooden boards, like a coffin with a window.
Since the day and night shift workers use the same bed, they coordinate with each other to divide some private space for each to store their personal belongings.
Every floor of the building has a toilet, kitchen, bathroom, and all the basic living facilities. Although life is not very good, it gives people a sense of stability and security.
No wonder the aunties who urge marriage appeared not long after.
The inner circle of the mountain building is a large mountain park and a large square, which are used for people to relax. The space in the building is narrow and there is no sunlight, so it is inevitable to feel depressed after living there for a long time.
Huang Mingxiao understands the people's hearts very well. He has done a great job in building the mountain park and the square. Once you arrive here, it's like you've arrived in a free and safe space, which can greatly relax your mind and alleviate the unhealthy psychology caused by the narrow and claustrophobic environment.
After Lin Wen walked around, he already had some preliminary ideas about the transformation of the refugee camp.
The solution to the refugee camps outside is very simple. Let Lao Xie purchase another 100,000 tents, expand the refugee camps, and try to accommodate families of four or more in one tent.
The problem of clean water is also easy to solve. You can directly purchase bottled purified water as drinking water, and use the distributed clean water as domestic water.
A barrel of purified water costs 15 yuan. After the expansion, if one tent is used by five people, one barrel of water can be used for three days. This means that the cost per person per day has increased by only one yuan. With more than four million people, this means an increase of more than 4 million yuan per day, or 120 million yuan per month...
It seems a bit too much, but it doesn’t matter. If the money is not used here, what’s the point of him working so hard to make money?
It's too hard to even wipe my butt.
There is also a solution to the problem of mountain building complexes.
In order to find the flaw in the origin of the world, Lin Wen once went to the construction site to conduct a free fall experiment.
The scaffolding left a deep impression on him. A few steel pipes allowed the workers to penetrate every hole, like fish in water, jumping up and down, flying freely, and almost kicking Newton's coffin to pieces.
So, if we just wrap a perfect three-dimensional scaffolding around the mountain-shaped building complex, wouldn't it be possible to greatly increase the range of activities for residents inside the building?
The scaffolding can be made to the highest standards, covered with steel mesh, guardrails, and ladder-shaped steel plates, which is equivalent to installing stairs outside the mountain building.
Moreover, scaffolding can be built outside the scaffolding, which is equivalent to expanding the stairs, and this expansion is endless. You can even build an elevator on the scaffolding.
In this way, the travel difficulties faced by residents in the building can be solved.
Hahaha, next week “live and work in peace and contentment” will at least double, right?
Lin Wen thought happily.
He immediately found Huang Mingxiao and told him his plan.
But Huang Mingxiao was very hesitant.
"Headmaster Lin, it's not that I won't do it, I just can't split my time. Expanding the refugee camp will inevitably disrupt the existing order. A new order will be formed. Although the original order has some shortcomings, everyone has adapted to it. If we have to create a new order, I must be there to personally adjust it."
"The same goes for scaffolding on mountain buildings. Safety issues are much more complicated than you might think. A massive scaffolding empire capable of handling millions of people is unprecedented, and may not be seen again. I must personally undertake such a massive project."
"But we have to build the factory first. This is the imperial order. If we fail to complete it, you will be in big trouble, and Changshan County will be in big trouble too."
Huang Mingxiao and Yang Shaohu had finally selected an area and had just organized the refugees. There was still countless tasks to be done, and the distribution of work for millions of people was a nightmare.
Any simple thing, such as eating, drinking water, or even taking a shit, becomes a nightmare as long as it reaches millions.
How to eat, where to drink water, and where to put feces are all huge problems.
Even choosing a site for the factory was very troublesome. Because there were no vehicles, the site could not be too far from the refugee camp, otherwise it would be inconvenient for millions of people to go to and from work.
Yang Shaohu and Huang Mingxiao looked at the map of Changshan County until their hair turned white, and finally chose a location that no one expected - the mountains.
To be precise, it is in a valley at the easternmost part of Changshan County.
This place is the closest to both the refugee camp and the mountain building complex, and it is very large, covering more than ten square kilometers. The only drawback is that it is located in the Taixu Mountains, and a large amount of renovation work is required.
The two men worked until their hair turned white, and they went to see Zhao Minggong and a group of experts before they finally made a project plan. It was expected to mobilize four million refugees and take seven days to complete.
We are at a critical stage now, how can we have time to do anything else?
"You must go."
Lin Wen said.
Making artillery shells seemed unimportant to him, and since he had no good connections, the empire obviously wouldn't give him money, so he was clearly taking advantage of him.
So what if I can't finish it? Come and kill me if you dare!
If he hadn't directly ordered not to make it because it was suspected of suicide, he wouldn't have made any.
But optimizing refugee camps is different. They directly affect "living and working in peace and contentment" and "happiness", and can earn good karma, so they must be completed as a priority.
"Chief Lin, I've already been working for 16 hours..."
"And eight hours left?"
Huang Mingxiao looked at County Chief Lin in shock, speechless.
Lin Wen took out a candy from his pocket and said, "This is a marrow cleansing pill. After eating it, you will have unlimited energy and will not die suddenly no matter how hard you work."
Hand it to Huang Mingxiao.
He picked it up with a look of suspicion on his face and examined it for a long time. "Why do I feel like it's one of those Fude brand candy beans that my wife runs that they sell to trick children?"
Lin Wen said, "Your eyesight is terrible. This time I bought Lin Fu Ji candied beans, which are specially made to deceive adults... Uh, I was just joking. You'll know after you eat them."
"...sweet ones, just jelly beans."
"Sit down."
"Lin, County Chief Lin, I really don't have time to play around here..."
"Sit down and hold out your hand. I'll take your pulse and observe the changes in your yin and yang and the five elements. It will only take two minutes and 39 seconds."
2 minutes and 39 seconds later.
"Okay, feel it."
"I'm fine...eh?"
Huang Mingxiao suffers from migraines due to overwork. The higher the intensity of his work, the more severe the attacks become, and the pain is so unbearable that it is worse than death.
He went to the hospital many times but couldn't get cured. This time, the work intensity increased and the migraine recurred. Huang Mingxiao gritted his teeth and endured it without telling anyone.
However, after sitting for more than 2 minutes, he no longer felt the headache.
Huang Mingxiao shook his head vigorously, and he really couldn't feel any pain at all.
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Take two steps. If you are not sick, take two steps."
Huang Mingxiao took two steps and found that the rheumatoid arthritis he had suffered from for many years was no longer sore, and when he twisted his waist, the pain in his old waist was gone.
"Is this true?" Huang Mingxiao couldn't believe it. "Is there such a magical medicine in the world? Where did you get it?"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Actually, I've used it many times, but since you weren't here, you might not have heard of it. This is a super-magic medicine developed by the Empire's latest biotechnology. It cures all difficult and complicated diseases, improves physical fitness, and protects health. You can work 24 hours a day and still be full of energy, and you won't die suddenly."
Huang Mingxiao immediately believed it and exclaimed, "The power of science and technology is truly miraculous. Perhaps it's true, as the scientific magazines say, that in 50 years, humans will have colonized the entire star system."
However, Lin Wen knew that this was pure nonsense. After the United States landed on the moon in the original world, everyone thought that the curtain of mankind's space exploration was about to be opened. Unexpectedly, 50 years later, not only did the curtain not open, but the entire stage collapsed.
Not only has mankind failed to break free from the constraints of gravity, but it can't even return to the moon, so rumors of the moon landing hoax continue to circulate.
This world is also in the early stages of a technological explosion, but the progress of climbing the technology tree is different from that of the original world. Biology is the only one that stands out, physics is sparse, quantum theory is still in a state of imaginary nonsense, the level of large-scale integrated circuits is not high, and computers are still around the 486 level.
So they can easily accept things like supermen, miracle drugs, demons and monsters, because they are just technological products of the empire's latest biological laboratories.
"How do you feel?" Lin Wen asked.
"Hahaha! County Chief Lin, I'm fine! I'm all better!"
"Is the mission acceptable?"
“Absolutely!”
Huang Mingxiao took on all the tasks and jumped away happily.
Lin Wen was also very happy. He had a premonition that his good karma would skyrocket next week.
Weekly good karma is his most important way to gain good karma.
Naturally, it requires the highest attention.
At the same time, he also discovered that Changshan County was indeed lacking capable generals.
He decided that when his sixth magical power came out, he would find a way to bring back a few more capable people like Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick.
It is not a good idea to always exploit the old people. They have been squeezed out of everything by Lin Wen, and Qin Luoshuang is the worst off.
Afterwards, Lin Wen went to deal with the food problem.
The main spoils of the Shizhou Campaign were grain, 1.4 million bags of flour and 10,000 tons of wheat, which was no small amount.
Lin Wen decided to let Changshan County Food Factory be responsible for processing.
There are nearly 400,000 employees in Changshan County Food Factory, all of whom are from new towns and small towns in the Midwest.
Among them, 300,000 are workers, and more than 100,000 have been responsible for expanding the factory.
This was a typical socialist factory, where everyone worked together for equal pay and equal work. The person in charge was elected by the workers, and everyone received the same salary, except for some additional benefits provided by the Imperial Capital Office.
The person in charge does not have much power and is mainly responsible for some management and coordination work.
All important work was undertaken by the Changshan County Imperial Assets Office (Imperial Assets Management Office) and carried out through joint discussions among the workers.
The factory provides food, accommodation and transportation, implements flat worker self-management, encourages labor, and selects advanced workers. Since its establishment, it has been operating efficiently.
Currently, all food factories are processing fish, including fish balls, canned fish, fish paste, fresh fish, live fish, dried fish and salted fish, which enrich the dining tables of Changshan County.
It is also the only source of food in Changshan County at present.
Tianjiang Fishery Company now catches 3,000 tons of live fish every day. A portion is sold directly, and most goes to food processing factories.
About 1,500 tons of processed fish products can be produced every day.
Flour is different from fish. Flour is the most widely consumed and oldest food by humans, and it can be processed in many more ways than fish.
Noodles, steamed buns, flower rolls, fried dough sticks, sesame cakes, bread, and countless other kinds of food, all with different flavors, are never boring.
How can an advanced, developed and happy region lack a wide variety of food?
So Lin Wen found Zhao Pengyuan, the head of the Imperial Capital Office, and asked him to expand the food factory immediately and add a flour food processing factory next to the fish processing factory, so as to produce a variety of food as soon as possible.
This should also help to increase some good karma.
Lin Wen thought happily.
But that’s not enough. I need to study the weekly charity more deeply, improve Changshan County’s various systems and development plans, and find more talented people to work for me.
Until finally, I was lying at home and countless good karma hit me in the face.
Hahahahahaha!
——
"Xia, give me half of your salary."
"Okay, eh? You're out of money?"
“No more.”
"Hahahaha, finally the day has come when you're broke... Humph, Miss Qin, you know the price. Tonight... Ouch! Why did you hit me? Do you still want money?"
"I took the card."
"Hey! That's all my salary, at least leave me half! Humph, come on."
Beep...beep...
"Hey, Zhixing, have you received your salary this month?"
"Well, well, I'll keep it for you. You love spending money so much, I want to cultivate good habits in you to save money. You can leave your salary card with me. Is the password the same?"
"Yeah, very good. Come on, Zhixing. I feel like there's hope for you."
——
Shizhou.
Governor's Office.
After Gu Xuanli finished talking with Elder Cheng Zhang, he was so excited that he burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! Little beast from Changshan County, you're dead this time! If the tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm a sick cat?"
"Wang Jing! This is your last chance to redeem yourself! Defeat Changshan County!"
