Chapter 411 The Big Devil
As we all know, institutions only cut the money of ordinary people. There is a saying that you can't get rich without killing the poor.
Rich people cannot be killed because they are not that active.
Although poor people don’t have much money, if tens of thousands or millions of poor people are added together, they will become rich.
If the poor people want to unite, the organization will instigate conflicts among them, split their collective, and give a little money to some of them to create rifts and barriers, and eventually make them disperse.
Therefore, it is best to take money from the poor. It is simple, safe, efficient and risk-free.
This statement is still the same today. Whose money are the grain groups making by speculating on grain?
Small vendors and ordinary people.
The empire’s grain market is so huge that no institution can take it over even if it spends all its money. The real players in the market are countless retail investors.
The market’s confidence refers to their confidence, and what Lin Wen wants to destroy is their confidence.
Therefore, publicity is very important. At least we should let most people know that there is such a grain exchange and that this exchange is selling grain on a large scale.
However, all their propaganda was covered up by the enemy and sank to the bottom of the sea without a single bubble emerging.
That's why Lin Wen took the right approach, choosing the most brainwashing hit song, writing the most popular sales pitch, and being the most shameless clickbait.
All of this is for good karma, for the soul, and for reincarnation.
As he becomes stronger, his enemies must become more and more numerous, otherwise how can he reincarnate perfectly?
So unite, my enemies!
Otherwise, you will not be able to destroy me.
Hahahahahaha!
On a cargo ship returning to Shizhou, a wild laugh came from nowhere. The sailors and workers were confused and a little scared. The sound was so wild and wanton. Could it be some big devil who was about to be born?
The first mate quickly called in the Changshan County Navy soldiers to search, but unfortunately nothing was found.
Lin Wen stood on the mast, covered in camouflage. The fierce river wind blew towards him, making him feel the pleasure of riding the wind and waves, as if he was about to break through all difficulties and obstacles and reach the peak of immortality.
However, there was one more thing Lin Wen didn't say just now -
Only after you destroy me will you face the real terror. Yun Qingshui's body contains the seeds of terror that I left behind.
When I die, this seed will explode and grow into a true terror king. It will burn all this rotten and decaying things to ashes and completely annihilate you.
At that time, a new order will rise from the ruins.
——
When Lin Wen arrived at Dadunbao again, Qin Luoshuang was discussing peace talks with everyone.
She believed that they had already gained huge benefits from Shizhou that made everyone jealous. If they continued to push their luck, they would offend many neutral parties and create a negative impression of greed among the imperial faction, which would do more harm than good.
At this time, it is best to quit while you are ahead.
Seeing Lin Wen listening attentively and nodding repeatedly, she was very happy and said with a smile, "Lin Wen, you also think what I said makes sense, right?"
Lin Wen nodded: "That's right."
"That's great." Qin Luoshuang showed a relieved smile on her face. This was the first time she received Lin Wen's support.
In the past, this guy always went against her and she couldn't beat him, which made her very depressed.
After such a long period of adjustment, there was finally no more friction and obstacles between them, and they were able to reach a consensus. How could she not be happy?
"Then let's hurry..."
"Begin the war!" Lin Wen stood up and gave the order: "Begin the war quickly, or I'll offend more people... cough cough cough, it's better to pursue the enemy with your remaining courage than to seek fame by imitating the tyrant."
This is not a deliberate act of seeking death. There is a reason for it. Lin Wen has already tried it with his seventh magical power [Luan Zhao Shui]. It is not a malicious suicide.
The food war is for the people of the entire empire and is related to the happy lives of billions of people in the empire. There is a foreseeable huge amount of good karma, a huge amount of souls and reincarnation opportunities, so he must win.
If the enemy increases their efforts to control the market, he can only increase his efforts to destroy it. Lin Wen has already issued an order to Xiao Xiao that starting from tomorrow, the daily sales of grain will soar to two million tons.
However, Changshan County’s total inventory is only 20 million tons, which will collapse in a few days. More grain must be scraped out from Shizhou.
Therefore, ceasefire and peace talks are definitely impossible.
The enemy has been driven across the Yangtze River. Wouldn't it be wise to seize the opportunity and use the remaining troops to pursue the enemy, seize all the food in Shizhou, and grab all the good karma?
By then, I can take Shizhou's tens of millions of tons of grain, drive down the grain prices in the empire, and force those profiteers to jump off buildings. Then I can just wait for the right opportunity to reincarnate, right?
Moreover, this is not seeking death, it is just a way to earn more good karma and move towards a stronger path.
Lin Wen smiled happily, turned to Feng Chu and said, "You're right, aren't you, Qin..."
But she looked like she was petrified.
Lin Wen poked her: "What's wrong with you?"
Then Qin Luoshuang exploded.
"Go to hell!"
Qin Luoshuang threw all the books on the table at him. Lin Wen didn't want to waste his energy at this time. He ran while shouting, "Fang Dashan, Wang Zhengwu, He Shangsheng, come and save me!"
Fang Dashan glanced at the fleeing commander-in-chief and the fiercely pursuing chief of staff, and asked hesitantly, "Do you want to go?"
He Shangsheng laughed and said, "This is youth. Do you want to disturb the happiness of young people?"
Wang Zhengwu smiled slightly: "Of course not. Seeing how happy they are, I can at least forget the past."
He Shangsheng leaned in closer and whispered, "Old man, the traitor who harmed you is dead, the governor who brought disaster upon you has been removed from office, and the commandos who wiped out your entire family have been slaughtered by us, leaving a river of blood. It's time for you to let go, old man."
Wang Zhengwu lowered his brows and sighed softly, "Who says it's not true? County Magistrate Lin and Miss Yun avenged me. Changshan County did what my Dadao Sect wouldn't dare do for decades. For them, what does it matter if I sacrifice my old bones?"
He Shangsheng's eyes were filled with emotion. "Back in Shizhou, when I saw the governor's brutality and indiscriminate slaughter of innocent people, I led the Black Blade Society in rebellion, only to be completely defeated and depleted by the Shizhou army. I never imagined this day would come. Looking around, I can't find a single opponent in such a vast Shizhou. Therefore, if I don't take this opportunity to purge Shizhou of those harmful bugs, I'll never be able to calm down."
Wang Zhengwu took a glance.
"So you're on County Magistrate Lin's side?"
He Shangsheng laughed and said, "Old fellow, we are originally a couple. Husband and wife are one. Is there any point in us standing here and there?"
Wang Zhengwu's eyes sparkled as he leaned closer and said, "I don't think so. County Magistrate Lin is a playboy. Maybe he abandoned Xiao Qin after having an affair with her..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" He Shangsheng said angrily, "County Chief Lin is not that kind of person!"
"No, no, listen to me. Look at how thin Xiao Qin is. It will be difficult for her to have children in the future. When County Chief Lin pulls up his pants, he will have some ideas."
He Shangsheng became a little nervous after hearing this: "What should we do then?"
Wang Zhengwu whispered, "I think Xiaoxia is good. She has big breasts, which are good for breastfeeding, and a nice butt, which is good for giving birth."
"But Xiao Xia is too good at deceiving men... I'm afraid County Chief Lin won't be able to control her."
"Xiao Yun is not bad either. She practices martial arts and has a good physique. Her grandfather and I have a good relationship. If I go over and bring them together, this will definitely work out."
"Zhengwu, her grandmother and I are old acquaintances, but let me be fair, Xiaoyun has a rather wild temper. Last time I saw her beat up that Kuomintang man called the Butcher, and that move, tsk tsk... County Magistrate Lin, such a well-educated, gentle, and modest young man, is really a difficult match."
"What should we do then? Is there anyone else worthy enough? Is it possible that your granddaughter can do it?"
He Shangsheng blushed and interrupted, "How about the three of them go together and complement each other's strengths and weaknesses? County Magistrate Lin is such an outstanding man, I don't think it would be a disadvantage to have three of them."
"Hey, this is a good idea. I'll eat with Xiao Qin during the day, sleep with Xiao Xia at night, and go outings with Xiao Yun on weekends..."
Fang Dashan watched them chatting idly and felt that he was out of tune with them because he was not perverted enough.
——
Lin Wen was really beaten to death, but he didn't want to waste his energy, so he shouted, "Democracy, how about we vote democratically?"
Qin Luoshuang said angrily, "Alright, let's have a democratic vote. I don't believe anyone will agree with your fantastic idea."
So Lin Wen convened an enlarged military meeting, in which all officers above the division level were present.
There were dozens of people gathered in the headquarters, it was very lively.
Lin Wen was also very happy. With so many people voting, my democracy score will increase by at least 100 this week, right?
"Those who agree to a ceasefire raise their hands. Those who agree to continue fighting do not raise their hands."
Lin Wen stood in the center and announced the rules loudly. Everyone had to stay within ten meters of him. This was Lin Wen's mandatory requirement.
"Let's vote."
In an instant, Lin Wen used [Object Control Technique] to grab everyone's sleeves and immediately announced: "Unanimous approval, continue fighting!"
After turning off [Object Control], Lin Wen only spent 1% of his soul. He thought happily, "1% of my soul was exchanged for 100 points of democratic good karma. What a bargain."
He walked to Qin Luoshuang and said with a smile: "Chief of Staff, go to work quickly. I don't get my salary for nothing."
Qin Luoshuang was almost so angry that she got internal injuries. She herself didn't understand why she didn't raise her hand just now.
He turned around and left, unwilling to talk to Lin Wen anymore.
Lin Wen didn't care. He seemed to have seen a huge amount of good karma as high as a mountain of gold falling towards him.
——
Yanshan Prison.
Wang Boan looked a little more lethargic than in the past few days, but he was still in good spirits. He looked across at Yu Zhongxian and said with a smile, "Old Yu, things don't seem to be going as you thought. You can't get out."
Yu Zhongxian sat on the bed, his face as gloomy as water, silent.
——
Southwest District Supreme Command Headquarters.
Prince Jun pleaded guilty to Qin Gang: "Commander, this is all my fault. I am willing to bear all the consequences of my failure."
Qin Gang waved his hand: "Zijun, this has nothing to do with you. No one could have imagined that the battle would turn out this way. If we lose, then we lose. We are too popular, so it is a good thing that people look down on us. Our true strength can be hidden."
Prince Jun said softly, "Then the food..."
Qin Gang said calmly, "It's okay to lose a little. What you couldn't get on the battlefield, you still want to get it back at the negotiation table?"
Wang Zijun whispered, "It seems Elder Luo has achieved good results in his battles, preventing Changshan County from suppressing grain prices. With their current grain reserves, it shouldn't be enough to disrupt the market."
Qin Gang shook his head slightly and didn't care much about the food problem.
"Zijun, why did I hear that there was a problem with their real pop-up?"
Wang Zijun's expression grew serious. "Mr. Fei believes the critical mass was miscalculated and the nuclear equation needs to be revised, but Mr. Li believes there's a problem with the firing structure. He also said..."
"What?" Qin Gang frowned slightly. Prince Jun rarely hesitated or stammered.
"He said Mr. Fei wanted to commercialize scientific issues to protect his position. He also attacked and accused Mr. Fei of engaging in factionalism and forming a clique to monopolize scientific research projects..."
"Alright!" Qin Gang was unusually angry. He had always been extremely disgusted by infighting within the group. "Forbidden to bring up this topic again."
"Yes." Prince Jun bowed and replied.
"Also, tell Fermi to pay attention."
There was a slight bitter taste in Prince Jun's mouth; it seemed that the commander felt somewhat hurt.
"Alright, go back now. Although we lost this time, it's hard to pass the test for Zhongxian. The Supreme Council will definitely punish him severely."
Prince Jun found it hard to believe when he thought about this. He had fought with the Council countless times and had a deep understanding of the giant army.
These monsters have strong mobility and the terrain does not restrict them in any way. Their individual combat capabilities are very strong, and they have inhuman full-body protection. They are like a group of tanks that can fly and hide in the ground. They are very difficult and tricky enemies to deal with.
Logically speaking, Changshan County doesn't even have military satellites, so there is no way to deal with them.
The giant army can appear from anywhere, attack them, and ambush them, but they cannot ambush the giants or track the giants' whereabouts.
The result surprised him greatly. Changshan County easily wiped out the giant army.
Who exactly is this County Magistrate Lin?
A chill ran down Prince Jun's heart. It was the first time he felt so wary of someone other than the elders.
It would be nice if I could get to know him.
Prince Jun thought silently.
In this way, we can analyze his personality and inner psychology, and also analyze his behavior patterns.
Be sure to find an opportunity.
——
Imperial capital.
Lin Yabo, Mosili and others no longer care about the war in Shizhou. They understand very well that the interests lost in the war can only be recovered through war.
The war with gunpowder was lost.
But the war without gunpowder has just begun.
——
Elders' residence.
Cheng Wei finally found the last bit of evidence. He caught the escaped minion of the drug dealer Long Xinshen and confirmed that his only son Cheng Xiaoguo was in Long Xinshen's drug trafficking base hidden in the mountains in the west of Changshan County before he disappeared.
And that base had been burned to ashes by Changshan County.
Long Xinshen’s drug trafficking group has disappeared for more than half a year.
There was no doubt that his son was dead.
The murderer is one hundred percent the mayor of Changshan County, Lin Wen!
"good."
Cheng Wei used an iron rod to smash the drug dealer's henchmen who were kneeling and trembling in front of him into pieces. The cold sound made the housekeeper beside him feel like his blood was about to freeze.
"Lin Wen, you are the first person who dares to make a mortal feud with the elders. You want to know how to write the word death, right? I will make you kneel before me and write it, and then I will smash your head in like this piece of trash."
——
Suburbs of the imperial capital.
Rono, the elder of the empire and the helmsman of the largest financial group in the empire, watched his warriors being torn and eaten by tigers in his private arena, while listening to his confidant Li Zairong reporting the news on the phone.
"very good."
After a moment, he smiled and said, "Keep it up. Remember, when money rings, bad words ring, and vice versa."
Amid the warriors' heart-wrenching screams, he hung up the phone and began to enjoy the food and wine.
——
"Liu You, am I beautiful?"
"Yes Princess, you are the most beautiful person in the world."
This was the thirty-seventh time Liu You answered the same question in the same way.
He had been with the princess for more than ten years and had never seen a princess like this.
Her joy was so radiant, it multiplied her amazing charm a hundredfold, and it was as dazzling as the midday sun, making it impossible to look directly at it.
Her joyful smile is like the sweetest honey, and just looking at it makes people feel a sweet fragrance.
She never cared about her appearance before, and was only particular about the perfect etiquette that showed off her royal status. All her dressing and costumes were done by her ceremonial officials, and she never made any comments.
But now, the princess has become particularly fond of dressing up. She spends several hours in front of the mirror every day, or spends several hours choosing clothes.
In the past, the time she spent on her look depended solely on the time of her stylist and makeup artist.
She once firmly believed that she was perfect and that no amount of makeup could hide her charm.
But now, she is not satisfied with any of her looks, and feels that every beautiful image of hers is not perfect in the end.
Why.
Liu You sighed deeply. Although His Majesty was her father, he had been with her for so many years. Seeing the princess fall in love, he also had the mentality of an old father who was worried about gains and losses.
What kind of magic does this kid from Changshan County have?
——
In the palace.
Li Longxing was preparing for his own expedition and had no time to pay attention to any other matters.
The news of Changshan County's victory was simply "Got it, that kid has 30% of my style back then, there's no way he can lose."
——
Elders' Courtyard.
The Great Elder simply said, "Send the ceasefire letter," and paid no more attention to the matter.
The imperial garrison commander put a letter without any markings or seals into his arms and turned to leave.
——
Many people in the empire cursed Changshan County's victory.
But in some inconspicuous places, some people were also quietly celebrating Changshan County's victory.
