Chapter 341: The Council's Envoy
After driving away the Shizhou army, Lin Wen immediately began to harvest the spoils.
Thanks to the efforts of 240,000 soldiers, countless spoils were loaded onto cargo ships bound for Changshan County.
This large amount of income can just help Changshan County overcome its difficulties, and it can be said that it is taking from the people and using it for the people.
In addition to many valuable spoils, there were also a large amount of supplies.
Most of them were piled up in warehouses near the dock, usually various grains, cloth, commodities, etc. Lin Wen also moved them onto his cargo ship without hesitation.
Old Xie's achievement this time was beyond Lin Wen's expectations. He rented 25 cargo ships and a port in a short period of time. Together with Changshan County's own seven cargo ships, there were a total of 32 ships, which fully met the transportation needs of materials.
Lin Wen handed over the follow-up work to the Changshan County Forbidden Spell Mage Group.
They wore the forbidden spell wizard uniforms provided by Lin Wen, held the phoenix feather wands provided by Lin Wen, and cast the "Heart-Cruciatus" spell on the chosen ones.
Well, a wizard who casts forbidden Unforgivable Curses is called a Forbidden Spell Wizard.
Very reasonable.
The laws set by Changshan County will govern the entire world.
I said.
Who among you objects?
——
Two days later.
Eliminate evil and gain +1501 good karma.
Voice of hope, good karma +1024.
good.
Adding to the previous ones, the total income from good karma has reached 4012, and the bad karma is only 12 points, which is completely acceptable.
What's more, he made a lot of money, which could sustain Changshan County for a long time.
Changshan County will also continue to bring him a lot of good fortune.
It is equivalent to a young gold-eating beast. As long as Lin Wen can feed it, it will continue to bring good fortune to Lin Wen.
When it matures, it will be able to swallow gold by itself, and Lin Wen won't have to work so hard.
Afterwards, Lin Wen asked He Shangsheng to recruit people. Anyone who was willing to go to Changshan County could apply and would be treated preferentially.
As soon as the announcement was made, applicants flocked in. They had almost no assets in Jiangkou City and were all in debt, either owing rent to Mr. Chang or high-interest loans to Mr. He.
For them, wherever they go, they just have to make a living.
Since Changshan County is reliable, why not go there?
The registration point was almost packed, but Changshan County accepted all the applicants and let them return to Changshan County on a cargo ship along with the goods to start their new life.
Lin Wen has contacted Chen Xingtai and asked him to take in these people and settle them down.
There are three jobs in Chen Xingtai: farming, logging and hunting. Choosing any one of them can allow them to live a good life.
After hearing this, Yun Qingshui volunteered to come and practice. Lin Wen also agreed and repeatedly reminded him to be careful. Unless there is conclusive evidence and the crime is extremely serious, the final handling will be handed over to him.
Originally, Lin Wen was planning to stay here and continue working, but a major incident occurred in Changshan County that he had to deal with personally.
Qin Luoshuang also asked him to go in person, and if he didn't go, she would go.
If Qin Luoshuang leaves, the work of these 240,000 people will all fall on his shoulders.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Wen decided to go back.
Before leaving, Lin Wen predicted the enemy's actions for the last time, handed the final battle plan to Qin Luoshuang, and told her to keep in touch at any time.
——
The journey from Jiangkou City back to Changshan County is downstream and very fast.
Before dark, Lin Wen arrived at the Changshan County Pier.
Then he returned to the County Hall and met the key figure of this trip - the special envoy of the Council.
This was a skinny guy with a pale face, as if he had eaten a hundred pounds of shit.
As soon as he saw Lin Wen, he broke into a shitty grin and held out a chicken claw that looked like it had been soaked in shit for a hundred years: "Chief Lin, nice to meet you."
Lin Wen had no intention of holding shit, nor did he have a keen mind, for fear of saying something shitty to this shitty guy.
"What's the matter?" Lin Wen said coldly.
The envoy seemed to have anticipated this cold attitude. He maintained his sardonic smile and said:
"Chief Lin, contradictions, disputes, and struggles are nothing more than footnotes to interests. We have had conflicts of interest in the past, and you should understand that."
Lin Wen's ears have long been tired of hearing this kind of low-level profit-oriented rhetoric.
He was too lazy to talk and just watched his performance quietly.
Teshi continued, "But now it's different. We have a basis for cooperation and a direction for achieving mutual benefit..."
He paused, and seeing that Lin Wen had no intention of responding, he had to continue speaking himself.
"Shizhou and the Qin Group are also enemies of the Council. When we have a common enemy, we also have common interests."
He extended his hand once more, and once again revealed his shitty smile:
"How about this? Changshan County can cooperate with the Council to deal with Shizhou together. You will win this losing war, and we will strike a blow to the arrogance of the Qin Group. This is called mutual benefit and win-win."
Lin Wen glanced at him and asked, "Is there any benefit?"
"Aren't winning the war and gaining the Council's favor the greatest benefits?"
Lin Wen showed a serious look: "I'll ask you one last time, is there any benefit?"
Teshi was silent for a moment, then said, "We can help you with some giants. This is the greatest sincerity the Council can offer."
Before he could answer, [Without Colorful Phoenix] directly warned him that this would create bad karma.
Damn it, I knew that the Giant, this unscrupulous thing, should not be touched.
It's really a waste of time.
"Go away, I'm not interested."
The envoy smiled slightly, as if he had expected this situation.
"Chief Lin, don't be too emotional. Interests are cold. A mature politician thinks about issues based on interests, not emotions."
"You have to know that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. At least before you reconcile with Shizhou, we have a basis for cooperation."
"We can use each other to get what we need, so what's wrong with that?"
Lin Wen was too lazy to talk nonsense and just said one word: "Get lost."
The envoy's smile turned sinister.
"Young people tend to act on impulse, and even a young talent like County Governor Lin is no exception. You are still young, and you may not know that rejecting the Council's kindness is also a very dangerous thing."
Lin Wen sneered, "How dangerous is it?"
"County Governor Lin," the envoy said nonchalantly, "You may not know that the Council of Advocates showed goodwill towards Changshan County a long time ago. Otherwise... do you think you could have held out until now?"
"oh."
The envoy laughed and said, "County Governor Lin, you are playing such a big game, thinking that you can use millions of refugees as a way to advance your official rank. You shouldn't offend the Council. Changshan County is not isolated from this world. You need to rely on the outside world in many ways..."
He counted on his fingers and said, "You need coal, otherwise the Changshan Steel Plant, your main source of funding, won't be able to operate."
"You need copyright, otherwise Tenglibaba will always be just a copycat and pirated company."
"You need environmental public opinion, otherwise your indiscriminate fishing in Tianjiang will soon be stopped, and your indiscriminate logging in the Taixu Mountains will also be punished."
"Your electricity is still stolen. The Imperial Central Power Administration has long noticed something is wrong, but it was Dong Qinzhou who stopped you from unplugging it... There are countless other examples like this. If the Council attacks you at all costs, you will fall soon."
A smug smile appeared on the envoy's face.
"How about it? Do you want to reconsider our proposal?"
Lin Wen said: "If you give me a 10 billion or 800 million right now, I can consider it."
The envoy maintained a superior smile.
"It seems you haven't thought it through yet. You will think it through soon."
He bowed gracefully, trying his best to show the superiority of the Council.
But he didn't realize that he was also showing the back of his head.
Bang!
Lin Wen finally found the pistol in the conference room and shot him in the back of the head.
The envoy fell to the ground with an expression of disbelief, blood gushing from the back of his head.
Bang!
The guard agent outside heard the gunshots and rushed in, but he only saw the fallen envoy and the muzzle of the gun in Lin Wen's hand with smoke rising from it.
Yun Zhixing, who was in charge of the protection mission, breathed a sigh of relief.
Before County Magistrate Lai Lin arrived, they had searched the envoy from head to toe a hundred times.
There was no way he was hiding a weapon.
The moment he heard the gunshot, Yun Zhixing's heart almost broke. He thought he was negligent in his work and let the assassin from the Council sneak in.
County Chief Lin is the third most important person in his life, second only to his master and the eldest daughter.
If he were to be assassinated by the Council right under his nose, he would want to skin himself alive without the Master or the Young Lady having to do anything.
But seeing the corpses on the ground gave him a headache. Yun Zhixing is now the second-in-command of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and he is basically in charge of all the foreign relations work.
"Headmaster Lin... why did you kill him? He was just a special envoy... Even if you don't agree, you don't have to..."
Lin Wen sneered, "No one can act cool in front of me."
A golden word floated past my eyes.
Eliminate evil and gain good karma +7
good.
It can be considered as some benefits, so it’s not completely in vain.
Yun Zhixing's features twisted into a knot when he heard this answer. He wailed, "Chief Lin! What am I supposed to say? I promised not to kill the envoy. That's the imperial rule. If you...if word gets out about this, no one will want to deal with us anymore. They'll think we have no credibility."
Lin Wen walked over, forced the gun into his arms, and said casually: "Who said I killed him? He committed suicide."
Yun Zhixing glanced at the wound in the middle of the envoy's head.
"This suicide is a bit difficult..."
Lin Wen said nonchalantly, "Isn't it? As expected of a special envoy of the Council, he's incredibly talented. Even his suicide is so unique."
Yun Zhixing's entire body was about to break apart. He said with a sad face, "Chief Lin, if I do this, the young lady will despise me for my incompetence, and the master will abandon me."
Lin Wen said casually: "When did you develop the illusion that you were owned?"
boom!
Yun Zhixing felt like his brain was struck by lightning, and he felt unwell all over.
He suddenly burst into tears: "You are lying! County Chief Lin, you are lying! I don't believe it. My master clearly told me to work hard. She even helped me keep my salary card and save money..."
"I, I want to find my master..." He turned around and ran away in tears.
