Chapter 32 They are all anti-human
Lin Wen didn't notice Huang Mingxiao's wandering thoughts. After a moment's thought, he said, "The soldiers will light a fire and cook. Give them the meat that belonged to the county governor. Then go buy some chickens, ducks, fish, etc. from the townspeople and send them over as a reward before they start work."
Huang Mingxiao asked in surprise: "What do you mean by start work?"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "They will participate in the construction."
"What!?"
Huang Mingxiao's eyes almost popped out. He felt that nothing was normal since the arrival of the county governor.
"This, this, is the Imperial Army. Even if you have the power to command, you can't prevent someone from accusing you of 'disobeying orders' and reporting you to the Imperial Military Headquarters. That would be a very bad outcome!"
"Oh?" Lin Wen hadn't expected such a thing to happen, but he didn't care. "Then sue him. I want to see how many lives he has left."
The person who sued him must be completely criminal. Even if he is not completely criminal, he will be criminal after being sued. He has plenty of ways to deal with it.
Huang Mingxiao felt half cold and half hot. The waters of the empire were so deep that even the high-ranking officials in the court did not dare to touch them casually. And he, a mere county governor, dared to step in so nonchalantly.
He was unsure what the end would be for such a decisive sheriff.
Maybe he will ascend to heaven, just like the last rule breaker; maybe he will fall, just like the countless corpses, known or unknown, piled up under the throne of the empire.
But at least now, he is by our side, working tirelessly to rebuild homes for the victims.
Huang Mingxiao suddenly had an idea, a goal, and an impulse in his mind. That was to do the reconstruction work to the best of his ability, even if he had to give up everything, so that no one could find fault with it and no one could be mean to him.
With such an achievement, even if County Governor Lin encounters a big storm in the future, he will have an extra layer of protection and a little more peace.
This is a true hero of the empire, and he must not be allowed to fall.
Lin Wen did not notice the change in Huang Mingxiao. He was trying his best to think about what he was going to do next. His poor ability to handle affairs had already been overwhelmed. He kept wailing and screaming, but he had to force it to work.
After all, the power of the soul had long been exhausted, and using good karma to cast spells was too expensive, so Lin Wen could only squeeze himself desperately.
After a while, Lin Wen asked, "I think there are still more than 50,000 people who haven't been resettled and are sleeping in the open air, right?"
Huang Mingxiao nodded.
"Hurry up and arrange the construction work. Make sure everyone has a tent before dark tomorrow. Also, optimize the management and coordination of the resettlement site. If you encounter any difficulties, come to me."
"Okay, County Magistrate Lin."
After a while, Lin Wen suddenly slapped his head and asked, "Have you finished the project budget?"
Huang Mingxiao hesitated a little: "It's basically done."
“What’s the total budget?”
"According to the planned project plan, the first phase is 180 million yuan. The second phase and long-term planning are not considered for the time being."
Lin Wen thought for a moment and said, "Take out the labor cost and report the figures again."
Huang Mingxiao calculated in his mind for a while and replied, "It should be able to be reduced to about 130 million."
It was more than half the original offer of 270 million, but even so, the money was far from enough.
We must find a way.
As long as the first phase of the project can be completed, the basic life of the disaster victims will be guaranteed. The second phase and the long-term vision will be a matter for the future.
Lin Wen was thinking in his mind.
The plan of the immortal is very reliable. The first phase plan not only greatly reduces the cost while ensuring basic living conditions, but also makes enough reserves to ensure that the second phase and the long-term project can be seamlessly connected without worrying about hindering subsequent development.
There is a funding gap of more than 100 million yuan, and we have to make up for the money for the engineering team, but there is no other way.
We can only start the project first and then find a solution to the funding issue.
Lin Wen had made up his mind and said, "We must start work first. Once we start, everything will be fine. We can forget about the money issue for now."
"Later, I will organize the disaster victims to participate in the reconstruction. At the same time, I will also establish a new order at the temporary resettlement site. There are so many things to do, and you will have a lot of work to do. Prepare well."
Huang Mingxiao was both delighted and nervous when he heard this. There was no doubt that with County Governor Lin's current prestige among the disaster victims, he could accomplish this task, but organizing 300,000 people to carry out reconstruction work, and they were not well-trained soldiers at that, was not an easy task.
For a moment, my mind was so confused and I didn't even notice when Lin Wen left.
Night has already fallen and the moon has quietly risen into the sky.
Although it is in a remote place in the wilderness, there are people everywhere. The night breeze is gentle, blowing on your face, making you feel indescribably comfortable.
In such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, Lin Wen visited the new mayor of Changle Town, Xiao Li, members of the working group, Fang Dashan's troops, as well as nearby gathering points for disaster victims and some representatives of disaster victims.
Under the influence of the Seven Apertures Heart, the communication between both parties is very pleasant, and a few simple conversations can bring people confidence, encouragement, hope and infinite expectations for a better life in the future.
The most obvious beneficiaries are the disaster victims and their representatives.
They are also the ones who need it the most.
Afterwards, Lin Wen met with the president of the Imperial Tribunal in Changshan County who had rushed over overnight.
Fang Yaobo.
The title is scary, but he is actually just a town-level official, and a middle-aged bald man at that.
Not only is he three levels lower than Lin Wen, he is also directly under Lin Wen's jurisdiction. When he sees the county governor, he is like a mouse seeing a cat.
Lin Wen had no interest in talking nonsense with him. He pointed directly at the file in his hand and said, "These four people were convicted of crimes against humanity. The outcome was that they attempted to attack the county governor, but I shot them dead on the spot."
Fang Yaobo's bald head was covered in sweat, and the assistant next to him used two rolls of handkerchiefs to wipe it dry but still couldn't get it dry.
He stammered, "County, County, County Governor, but, but the intelligence I've received so far shows that these four people are only, only committing crimes and bullying women. According to Imperial law, they can't be convicted of crimes against humanity, and it's not enough, not enough to sentence them to death."
He spoke the last two words very quietly, for fear of angering the sheriff.
Lin Wen sneered, "How can you be the judge? You are so short-sighted and have no sense of the overall situation."
Fang Yaobo was sweating profusely and didn't know how to respond.
Lin Wen continued, "According to their duties, they should have maintained order and helped the victims. Instead, they abused their power, withheld food, committed crimes, and bullied men and women. What is their purpose?"
Fang Yaobo shook his head in panic, not understanding what the county governor meant.
Lin Wen stared at him and sternly said, "This is to incite a civil uprising! They're trying to alienate the people of the county, forcing the victims to storm the county government and murder the county governor! This will lead to the interruption of aid, the failure of reconstruction, and the inability to deliver supplies. What are they trying to do? They're trying to kill 300,000 victims!"
"I'm asking you this now! Murdering a county governor? Murdering 300,000 people? Is this a crime against humanity?"
Fang Yaobo was shaking like a sieve, and it took him a long time to answer: "Yes, it is a crime against humanity."
Lin Wen was a little disappointed. He used his aura to observe the man for a while and found that the man was as timid as a mouse and could not be used for any major tasks. Fortunately, he did not have any black aura.
Can only be used with some difficulty.
Lin Wen thought that it would be a bad idea to look for a more suitable candidate at this time. Not only would it be troublesome, but it would also be a waste of good fortune.
Anyway, he would only be doing odd jobs from now on, and I would still have to do the main work myself, so it didn't matter.
"Okay."
Lin Wen slowed down his tone and spoke lightly.
"Go set up a stage outside of town. Tomorrow I will publicly try those parasites and pronounce the verdicts in court. Those sentenced to death will be executed immediately."
"You must complete all the work overnight. Prepare the legal basis and charges. There must be no mistakes in the public trial. All actions must be legal and reasonable."
"Also, send someone to publicize this matter overnight."
Lin Wen kept talking, and Fang Yaobo could only nod continuously, without a chance to speak the whole time.
