Chapter 337 Prince
when.
Qin Luoshuang threw a small object on the table at Lin Wen's head: "Go to hell, okay?"
Lin Wen also felt that discussing sword flying with a mortal from the physical world was inappropriate; it was like a summer insect talking about ice, playing the lute to a cow, so he turned around and asked, "Do you still remember our ideal goal?"
Qin Luoshuang nodded: "Build Changshan County into a fair and beautiful new world, and let it become a ray of light shining into the empire."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "This new world is very short of money, and food is not very sufficient. People's wages are very low, productivity is insufficient, there is no wide variety of goods, no rich and colorful cultural entertainment, and it is not very fair. Privileges and priorities are still everywhere."
"There are still many problems, but what I want to do most now is to ensure the value of labor. That is, workers receive compensation that is fully equivalent to their labor."
Qin Luoshuang had run similar organizations before and was already familiar with such theories and ideas. She directly pointed out the most crucial point:
"How do you measure value? How do you know if it's equal to the effort you put in? Who determines it?"
Lin Wen replied, "Me."
Qin Luoshuang's expression was faintly disappointed. She had expected to hear an answer that could completely resolve the confusion in her heart.
"Can you guarantee fairness?"
"able."
Qin Luoshuang lowered her eyes, and the look in her eyes was a little dim.
Obviously, she didn't believe it.
Lin Wen laughed and said, "If the boss were to decide the price, the lower the better. If the workers were to decide, the higher the better. Otherwise, the work wouldn't be able to continue."
"It's also difficult to negotiate together. The price will go in the direction of whoever is more powerful, which is not fair."
"At this time, there must be an absolutely fair third party. I only need to ask the immortal... ahem, think carefully, and I will find a standard answer."
Qin Luoshuang was unwilling to discuss this topic any further, and instead asked, "What does this have to do with our attack on Jiangkou and the suppression of Pancheng?"
Lin Wen said, "I've already said that the county is out of money. The conditions for the refugees making the shells are terrible. I've exploited those who work for me, and that makes me feel... guilty. So I can't tolerate that, and have slightly improved their treatment."
"Although it's only a small amount, the large number of people has put a huge financial strain on the county."
Qin Luoshuang asked, "So you set your sights on Shizhou?"
Lin Wen laughed and said, "That's right. Wasn't our war with Shizhou permitted by the Empire? If war is permitted, then the plundering that accompanies it must also be permitted! Isn't this equivalent to issuing me an open license to plunder?"
Under the dim light, Lin Wen smiled happily, looking like a messenger of justice.
"Haha, this will be the thing the empire will regret the most. I will let them see my strength as the Pirate King!"
"I will definitely be the Pirate King!"
Qin Luoshuang ignored what he said next. This guy always made jokes that only he understood, so it was better to just ignore him.
"You mean to say that you want to invade a big city and plunder the entire city with your army?"
Lin Wen corrected her: "It's about looting the property of the Imperial Master. When you convey the order later, you must make it clear and control the troops, otherwise I will be finished."
It was not until this time that Qin Luoshuang understood the intention of Lin Wen's strategy.
It was not at all what she thought, that it was for the purpose of gaining benefits at the negotiation table in the future, it was just for robbery.
"You, you are really..."
Qin Luoshuang didn't know what to say. She felt very bad. She had been deducing for a long time and doing all kinds of strategic analysis, but the result was that she was analyzing the dog.
Lin Wen smiled and said, "With me here, we will definitely win, don't worry."
Qin Luoshuang covered her face, wanting to stuff all the knowledge that only the "imperial elite" had mastered since she was a child into his mouth and feed it to him.
"Why are you so confident? Even the greatest general in the empire cannot guarantee victory in every battle."
Lin Wen started moving again.
"This is called despising the enemy strategically and taking him seriously tactically."
Qin Luoshuang looked at him through her fingers: "Have you changed people?"
"ah?"
"Why do I feel like you're not just one person? It's as if there are many souls living in your body. Some are vulgar, some are stupid, some are ridiculous, but some reveal incredible wisdom, unimaginable courage, or incomprehensible power."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Of course I'm not fighting alone... Don't I have you and so many other people with me?"
Qin Luoshuang let out a long sigh.
"Okay, I'll try my best, but I have to remind you that even if we succeed, we will offend a lot of people."
"The empire won't be at war forever. Once the war is over, they will devote themselves to attacking you, defeating you, and discrediting you, and then obtain benefits from the negotiation table that they couldn't get on the battlefield."
Lin Wen said calmly, "Unless I die, they won't be able to take a single hair from me."
Qin Luoshuang looked at him, her eyes full of reflected lights, covering up her indistinguishable emotions.
After a moment, she whispered, "If you're gone, Changshan County will collapse immediately."
Hearing this, Lin Wen smiled proudly.
"Xiao Shuangshuang, you underestimate me."
The tips of Qin Luoshuang's ears turned red, and she wasn't sure if Lin Wen was trying to fool people again.
Lin Wen stood up, as if he wanted to find something, but couldn't find it, so he took a folding clothes hanger from the side of the camp bed, pointed at her, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Qin Luoshuang, I will now appoint you as the Crown Prince. After a hundred years, you will inherit the throne and unify the country. My harem will also be handed over to you..."
Qin Luoshuang was so angry that she snatched the hanger and threw it back: "Go to hell!"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "I just like what you said."
“You, you… stop messing around and stop joking about things like that, okay?”
"I'm not kidding."
Lin Wen still had a smile on his face, but his tone was serious.
"Any mature organization will have backup candidates, right? Otherwise, if the leader is beheaded, won't the entire organization be in chaos?"
"Yes, there is, but..."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "So, you have to be my backup... my backup. The situation in the empire is so dangerous, no one can guarantee safety. If I reach a desperate situation, there is still someone who can continue our ideals. How great is that?"
Qin Luoshuang was silent for a while, then whispered, "This has no legal basis... It will be difficult for me to continue serving as county chief."
"It's just a matter of promoting the deputy county chief. It's not very difficult to do."
Qin Luoshuang said softly: "Given the people we have offended now, the resistance is very great, even with the support of the imperial power..."
Lin Wen laughed and said, "What does the person I offend have to do with you?"
Qin Luoshuang was stunned, and she suddenly couldn't say a word.
Lin Wen smiled happily, but in Qin Luoshuang's eyes, he was like a cunning assassin whose true intentions were finally revealed.
"I've already asked around. Unless there's too much opposition, the most common approach is to make the deputy county chief the official. The emperor will also support you. If the Jiedu power isn't taken back, there's no reason for the three powers to be taken back. Therefore, you only need to gain the support of a few more people."
"And it couldn't be simpler for you. Whoever I offend, you befriend. The more I offend them, the more they want you to take over."
"By that time, Changshan County will still be Changshan County, but County Chief Lin will be replaced by County Chief Qin, and you will be the second generation."
Lin Wen winked at her.
"You have to work harder, don't lose too much to the first generation."
——
After returning to his tent, Qin Luoshuang didn't sleep well the whole night.
His mind was in a mess, his heart was in turmoil, his usually sharp mind was like a blunt blade, and he had completely forgotten about the upcoming battle with Shizhou.
She suddenly felt extremely confused and afraid of where her future would go.
It was not until dawn when the troops packed up and set off that Qin Luoshuang came out with two big dark circles under her eyes.
The fiery red morning sun rises from the mountains, shining brightly, and the world seems to be waking up from its slumber.
Qin Luoshuang stared at the brilliant morning glow, and felt her mind become more open, and she exhaled a lot of her depression.
She thought: "I don't need to be so panic. Lin will be fine. I will do my best to protect him until he marries Xia, until they give birth to a cute baby, until the little guy grows up day by day and calls me Aunt Qin..."
"If something happens to him, I will take over as county sheriff and do my best to complete our unfinished ideals. What is there to worry about?"
"Isn't this what we all dream of? The misery we witnessed in the past must never be repeated. All the regrets of the past must never be repeated. All the failures of the past must never be repeated. What awaits us is victory after victory. All the misery and sorrow in the world will be purified here."
The knot in her thoughts was untied, and her whole body seemed to be sublimated. The glass-like sunlight penetrated her body, making her want to embrace this new world.
Bang!
Someone suddenly patted her shoulder, waking Qin Luoshuang from her hallucination.
She turned around and saw it was Lin Wen.
He still had that casual smile on his face.
"What are you doing? Thinking about men?"
Qin Luoshuang slapped his hand away and said angrily, "You are the one who misses a man."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Don't be angry. This is a very normal thing. It's the cycle of nature, the law of nature, and human nature. Unless you achieve Daluo and become a saint, it's difficult to get rid of it... Uh, I mean, if you want, I can help you find the most suitable man."
Qin Luoshuang said coldly: "Forget it, someone will help me find it."
Lin Wen scratched his head. "This is a rare opportunity. I rarely waste my resources on irrelevant things."
Qin Luoshuang had already walked away with her back to him. She called the staff and commander and began to arrange the military march.
Lin Wen felt a little regretful.
He was just about to use the "Goddess Qixi Water" that he had stored for a long time, but he didn't expect that the girl would run away.
