Chapter 506 Brother Lin Wen
Lin Wen was very unhappy and tried his best to bargain with the elder. The two sides went back and forth like old ladies buying vegetables on the street.
If this conversation was heard by anyone else in the empire, they would probably be shocked. How dare this young boy speak to the Great Elder like this?
And the Great Elder did not immediately order him to disappear from the world.
Only the imperial emperor Li Longxing knew that the great elder cared more about efficiency than etiquette, and the highest council adhered to the idea that "even a poisonous snake has the value of guarding treasures."
They have a very high tolerance for a person with strong abilities, and if this person is a useful chess piece, the upper limit is even higher.
Lin Wen himself is a person who hates useless social interactions, courtesies, and false and meaningless conversations.
It is precisely because of this that the two sides inadvertently reached a very tacit and efficient communication.
After a series of bargaining, Lin Wen finally persuaded the elder to give in with one sentence:
If they treat a hero who is selfless, loyal, patriotic, willing to give everything for the empire in this way, who is handsome, elegant, dignified, kind-hearted, and unparalleled in handsomeness, many potential people like him will no longer dare to serve the empire.
Therefore, the Great Elder agreed to give Yu Linwen some compensation.
They brought a map and assigned him the vast Gobi Desert with a total area of more than 10,000 square kilometers to the west of the Changshan County mountainous area.
"One-fifth of the land will be placed under the jurisdiction of Changshan County. I hope you will continue your efforts to drive regional development and create a beautiful and glorious future together."
"I'll create you..."
Lin Wen almost cursed out loud.
"There's not even a ghost in that vast desert. How can I go there and create glory with the rats in the desert?"
The Supreme Council is really too stingy. It is almost impossible to get any benefits from the Grand Elder.
The great elder Ping Yuan glanced at him and said, "We believe you can do it. Turn the Gobi Desert into fertile land and build a human world out of the wilderness. Aren't you the miraculous County Chief Lin?"
Lin Wen said flatly: "I haven't become an immortal yet, so this Gobi Desert is basically useless."
"What else do you want?"
"Waste the loan."
"no."
"To modernize Changshan County, I need at least eighty communication base stations, twenty network nodes, and one Internet root server."
"good."
The Great Elder agreed very quickly, making Lin Wen feel cheated.
"I also want the authority to grant the honor of being a Hero of the Empire."
"Yes, all the hero badges are in your hands."
"I want more..."
"You should leave now."
"Goodbye."

After Lin Wen left, the Great Elder Ping Yuan came to the chessboard, threw the Changshan County chess piece back into the trash can, and replaced it with a bigger one.
On the chessboard, apart from the major groups, there is no bigger piece than him.
The chess pieces of Changshan County are two-colored, one side represents the color of the imperial faction, and the other side represents the color of freedom.
The vast Gobi desert to the west of Changshan County, which originally had no ownership, was also included in the scope of Changshan County.
That long and narrow piece of land, like a hat, wraps around two major mountain ranges, stretches outward, and is connected to six states.
After the change of affiliation, Yunzhou, Shizhou, Lingzhou, Guizhou, Xinyangzhou, and Hezhou all directly bordered Changshan County.
"This way, Changshan County will be in the face of the Qin Group, Luo Nuo's liberals, and Ren Zhengqing's capitalist party."
"I hope you won't let me down."
——
Outside the door, Lin Wen finally smiled.
There are mines in that Gobi Desert. Qin Luoshuang had reported this to him, saying that his father (not him) had secretly tried to expand into this Gobi Desert, but failed.
Humph, this is called scheming.
Ha ha.
Please call me scheming boy.
Lin Wen left with a box of medals, satisfied.
Changshan County will be able to award medals in the future.
There is still some real substance to Heroes of Empire.
If nothing else, at least there is a real subsidy of 500 yuan every month.
Lin Wen knew it very well.
He already has two.
Now there are more than 5,000, which is nearly 3 million a month, which is not a small amount.
The most important thing is that Changshan County has this authority.
The significance of this cannot be compared with three million.
——
Shenjing.
Saint Platinum Palace.
The dinner party is in progress.
The huge crystal ceiling lamp emitted a soft light. In the magnificent and luxurious venue, countless men and women in gorgeous clothes were enjoying the afterglow of victory. On the main stage, the legendary band played soft, elegant and non-intrusive melodies, and cheerful laughter filled the venue.
The biggest star of the dinner was naturally the Imperial Emperor Li Longxing.
But not everyone can get close to his circle. Those who surround him are all marshals, elders, and national pillars. The lowest-ranking one is a senior general.
Li Longxing always kept smiling, but when the people who came to congratulate him left, his voice always became gloomy.
For Li Longxing, the triumphant victory over the Papal States was only the first step in his reform plan.
Everything that happens thereafter will be no less important than this war.
But before that, there is still a huge hurdle to overcome——
The distribution of interests after the war and the treatment of the Papal States.
The distribution of benefits has actually been basically completed.
Thirty trillion war bonds enabled the upper echelons of the empire to plunder most of the war's fruits. Li Longxing's plan to defeat the Papal States and allow the lower echelons to benefit in order to ease internal conflicts in the empire completely failed.
All that remained was the disposition of the Papal States.
Opinions vary on this issue.
Some wanted to sign a huge war reparations agreement, some demanded that the Papal States become a vassal state or colony of the empire, and some wanted to incorporate the Papal States into the empire.
The dinner was said to be a celebration party, but in fact it was also an exchange of opinions among all parties.
A friendly exchange in a joyful atmosphere is always better than a heated argument right at the table.
This is also the custom of the empire.
At the same time, Li Longxing also began to lay out his subsequent reform plan. His first goal was to control the huge cancer that had plagued the Council for many years.
Yu Zhongxian.
——
The biggest star at the banquet was the triumphant emperor of the empire, but the star that attracted the most attention from young people was the empire's first princess, Li Linyue.
Today, to put it bluntly, she has become a god in the eyes of young people.
Even a blind person can see that the emperor's might and power are rapidly expanding. In time, it is not impossible for the empire to become the empire of the great emperor.
The first princess of the old empire was a person with great power in the court.
If a young man could win her favor, it would not only be a step to heaven, but also the ultimate in life.
Not only that, Li Linyue herself is also a stunning beauty. At this moment, she is wearing a crystal-like long dress, her long black hair is tied up high, revealing her elegant swan-like neck. The crystal pendant sways gently beside her ear, reflecting colorful light and illuminating her perfect profile.
If he could marry the princess, all the graves of his ten million generations of ancestors would be filled with joy.
The unparalleled power and beauty in this world, how can it be described as more than just the ultimate dream?
All the young people at the banquet tried their best to show their elegance and etiquette. Countless handsome young men in gorgeous clothes and proper manners wandered in front of the princess, hoping to dance with her.
But for some reason, this perfect person, who was unique in the world, did not dance a second dance after the first opening dance with her father.
She sat alone in a corner of the banquet hall, with several royal guards in formal attire standing in front of her.
There were also people who kept wanting to invite the princess to dance, but most of them were politely declined by the royal guards.
For a few people of noble status, the princess would personally apologize to them.
Her manners were still perfect, but her expression gave the impression that she was somewhat distracted.
No one knows what happened to the princess today.
The little princess sat in the children's seat on the other side, and people kept coming to greet her.
The little princess is a minor and is only allowed to move around under the supervision of her guardian. Banquet guests can only exchange brief greetings with the child, and any long conversation will be considered extremely impolite.
Her brother gathered a large group of people on the other side and boasted wildly.
"I'm telling you, Wenjun and I fought side by side that day, from the south of Stan River to the north of Stan River, without blinking an eye..."
"Aren't your eyes sore?"
Li Yuchen laughed heartily: "It's soaked in the enemy's blood, so it doesn't taste sour at all..."
Li Qingyue was not happy. She jumped down from the stool and shouted, "The night Big Brother went there, you were sleeping in my bed and you wet it!"
Li Yuchen seemed to have traveled through a scorching hot desert in an instant, and the rays from everyone around him pierced through him like laser light.
Li Qingyue didn't care what happened to her brother, she turned around and ran away.
Her small body nimbly moved through the crowd. Suddenly, a blond man stopped her and bowed, saying, "Little princess, you are becoming more and more adorable..."
Li Qingyue puffed up her little cheeks. There were two words she hated the most: small and cute.
She interrupted him crisply: "If you dye your hair black and wear black contact lenses, maybe my sister will accept your invitation."
After saying that, she ran away quickly, but a young man with black hair and black eyes stopped her, "Little princess, long time no see, please allow me to kiss your cute little hand..."
Li Qingyue yelled, "You're too ugly, I don't like you!"
She turned around and ran away quickly, but accidentally bumped into someone's leg. The person reached out and supported her, "Ouch, little princess, be careful..."
Li Qingyue looked up and saw that it was Elder Lin Yabo. She struggled to free herself from his hand and said, "You are not a good person. Let me go."
Elder Lin smiled kindly, "You misunderstood. Your father and I are close comrades-in-arms. Your father is fighting on the front lines. I will do my best to safeguard the logistical supplies and prevent corruption..."
"I won't listen!"
Li Qingyue covered her ears and ran away quickly.
After much difficulty, I finally arrived beside my sister.
Of course, the royal guards would not stop the little princess. They made way and let her in.
The little princess came to Li Linyue and saw her sister leaning gently on the bench, holding her chin, with a soft look on her beautiful face, and a restrained light in her eyes. She was distracted and didn't even notice her arrival.
Li Qingyue suddenly said, "Sister, I'll go call Brother Lin Wen over."
