Chapter 366 Seeking Death
Lin Wen was sowing seeds crazily on the land of Shizhou. The good fortune was pouring in like a tide, making him extremely excited and he didn't want to stop for even a second.
But there are always some people who come to disturb his interest, not to mention Qin Luoshuang, she also has serious business to do.
The sooner we capture the city and advance, the sooner we can liberate more people.
Lin Wen only played the role of a key in the past, and the real main combat force was still the countless soldiers.
The key is the speculators who are not doing well in Shizhou, the oppressed officers, the mercenaries who see the situation is not good, etc.
These people also flocked to find him.
With Changshan County's successive victories and the testimony of Wu Pei and others, more and more of them came, and without exception, they all demanded to meet with County Chief Lin before deciding to defect.
Lin Wen's mind is now almost constantly open. When the time for one spell is up, he will start to cast the next one.
He felt as if he had become the top prostitute in Changshan County. He was extremely popular and received customers every day, while other top prostitutes were ignored, which made him feel very unbalanced.
These people seriously interfered with his sowing business, but simply refusing them was not an option.
The weaker Shizhou is, the faster they advance and the more good karma they will gain.
Someone must be found to replace him.
Lin Wen carefully studied their needs and immediately found a suitable candidate.
Xia Xiaoxiang, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
This guy is particularly good at handling personnel relations, has a deep study of the structure, and is very accurate in judging people. He is a capable general who possesses a weakened version of [Seven Apertures Mind] and [Observing People by Looking at Their Qi].
And the durability is very high, basically it can't be broken.
The most important thing is that the promotion, demotion and transfer of most officials in Changshan County are decided by her.
This is all they ask for.
Perfect.
Lin Wen immediately pulled her over, hung County Chief Lin's rose sign with gold letters on her door, and asked her to receive customers on his behalf.
By the way, some absorbable people will be absorbed, and the garbage that cannot be absorbed will be temporarily thrown into Jiangkou City.
Xia Xiaoxiang was doing a good job. She set up an archive and created an index directory of up to nine million people.
Qi Mu was called in again, and he worked hard to get hundreds of programmers to create a management system and write the directory index into it.
In this way, they can easily find the corresponding personnel's file information in which row and shelf of the archive without having to search in the vast archive, which greatly improves the efficiency of managers.
Just when she was about to work overtime to further improve and perfect the relevant mechanisms, Lin Wen suddenly transferred her here.
Xia Xiaoxiang was originally very unhappy and planned to settle the accounts with Lin Wen and ask him to compensate her properly.
But soon, her anger turned into joy, because she found that there was a wider world here and space for her to better display her abilities.
After learning that the promotion and demotion of all officials in Changshan County were decided by this woman, these defectors immediately flocked to her. According to the custom of Shizhou, they gave gifts crazily and made arrangements for her.
Xia Xiaoxiang only needs three sentences to drain a person's mind, and then throw him into the "Conference" that Lin Wen had just established.
It’s so cool.
Lin Wen was temporarily at peace for a while, but soon trouble came again.
As he sowed seeds crazily on the land of Shizhou, the original order was completely destroyed, the original wealth was plundered by him, and the number of people he offended was countless.
Tons of people came to him every day with all kinds of messages, warning him, threatening him, and wailing like losers.
As Lin Wen's work progressed, especially after the grain seized from Shizhou exceeded 10 million tons, the number of such people increased explosively.
Then he didn't know where his phone number was leaked, and his phone was flooded with calls every day.
He had said these sarcastic remarks ten thousand times, and his tongue was almost broken.
But it’s not right to turn people away. Wouldn’t the hatred be reduced if there’s no ridicule?
Lin Wen simply got a tape recorder, put it on his shoulder, and played it on a loop:
"I refuse."
"I want it."
"Come and hit me."
I also hung the satellite phone on my shoulder and set it up to automatically answer incoming calls.
In this way, Lin Wen would be burdened with crazy verbal abuse every day, and those who came to him in person would be automatically persuaded to leave.
There is no doubt that by doing this, the number of people offended by Lin Wen has doubled like maggots in a cesspool in summer.
In addition to the large number of powerful people that Lin Wen had offended before, these people gathered together and jointly filed a complaint with the Supreme Council.
——
Ordinary people are not qualified to write letters or send telegrams to the Supreme Council.
But which of these connections between powerful people does not involve high-ranking officials?
As a result, in the past few days, the Great Elder received a large number of reports attacking Lin Wen for making huge profits and carrying out massacres in the name of secret warfare.
In the report, they wept bitterly, worried about the country and the people, and knelt on the ground like a group of disheveled lunatics, accusing Lin Wen of being cruel, tyrannical, perverted, and insane, and of committing crimes that were too numerous to list and too heinous to be counted.
The garrison commander had to bring in a box of these letters and telegrams every day.
Of course, the Great Elder would not go to read it in person. It was all sorted out by the Guardian, who would extract the essential content and explain it in one or two sentences.
"Changshan County has greatly offended the Qin Group, Shizhou Group, Cheng Group, Baoan Group, New Law Party, Conservative Party, and Aristocratic Party... Mainly because the interests of all grain hoarders have been affected. They are eager to destroy Changshan County. However, Changshan County has the protection of the three powers, so they can only launch an attack like this."
The Great Elder Ping Yuan frowned slightly, turned around and asked, "We don't have a chess piece for this, right?"
The three elders all shook their heads.
"Was it Li Longxing's instruction?"
"That shouldn't be the case. There are also people hoarding food among the imperial faction."
"Is that his own wish? Is he blinded by greed, or does he want to accomplish something that will go down in history?"
The four great elders fell silent. There were only a very few people in the empire that they could not see through, and now there was one more.
"How to deal with it?"
"Let's force a halt to the covert war. Our goal has been achieved far beyond our expectations. Shizhou will not be able to recover within ten years, and the balance in the central and western regions has reached a relatively ideal state."
"feasible."
"Whatever his intentions, this is too hasty. It will cause unrest and be detrimental to the empire. He will also find it difficult to survive in the future."
"Well, this person is still useful."
"With the war going on like this, the Shizhou Group has nothing to say. At the negotiation table, Changshan County can propose its terms."
The four elders discussed for a moment and quickly set the bottom line for the negotiations.
"All spoils captured by Changshan County are compensation to Shizhou. All those who switch allegiance will be recognized by the Empire."
"After the armistice, Changshan County will reduce its military by two-thirds. The Empire will lift all restrictions on Changshan County. Changshan County will be forgiven for any mistakes it made during the war."
"The negotiation meeting was chaired by Yang Jiehua."
"As a special envoy... let's send Xu Chengfeng. He assisted Changshan County."
Bang! On the chessboard engraved with the map of the empire, a much smaller chess piece was placed on the originally empty territory of Changshan County.
——
News of the mediation spread quickly.
After the Supreme Council issued the order, the disputes disappeared in an instant, leaving only anger, regret, frustration, dissatisfaction, and the elation of a few people.
Shizhou.
Southbridge City.
More than half of Gu Xuanli's army has dispersed, and the remaining troops are holding on to several large cities north of Shizhou.
When the news of the mediation reached the governor, all of Gu Xuanli's remaining persistence collapsed.
The joint pressure from the powerful and influential people had no effect. Changshan County had committed so many unforgivable crimes, but the Supreme Council did not punish it.
Gu Xuanli felt that all this was too unfair. He endured humiliation and lived in seclusion in order to seek justice, but justice gave him a heavy blow.
All his supporters stopped responding to him. Even his boss, Cheng Da Lao, simply said, "Let's end it. Take a rest and find a way to pay me back first."
"Damn it."
The enraged governor threw everything out of the office and beat the personal guard who came to report with a stick until his face was covered in blood, but he was still not satisfied.
Turning around, he saw another guard cowering at the door and shouted, "Come in!"
As soon as the guards came in, they raised their sticks and started beating him.
The guard hurriedly shouted, "Governor, Changshan County is still attacking us!"
"What?"
Gu Xuanli stopped.
"What do you mean? Say it again."
The guards shouted, "Governor, Dadun Fort has just been captured. One of our divisions has been wiped out. Many surrendered without much effort."
In the past, when Gu Xuanli heard this kind of news, he would at least get very angry.
But now, he was overjoyed and grabbed the hem of his personal guard's clothes: "Really? Are you sure? When did it happen?"
The personal soldier said: "It happened just now, just now!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Gu Xuanli let go of his personal guards, laughed loudly towards the sky and went out.
He regrouped his few remaining officials and began to actively contact the powerful people who had been invaded by Changshan County and the groups that supported him.
"Hahaha."
The haze in Gu Xuanli's heart was swept away.
"You're getting too arrogant, you little bastard! You even dared to disobey the Supreme Council's orders. Are you courting death?"
