Chapter 536 Don’t You Understand?
This unprecedented live broadcast caused an unprecedented shock in the empire.
From the government to the people, everyone is talking about the "famous V" and his amazing deeds.
In addition to the cheers for the Royal Faction and the criticism of Bai Liuxi, the most talked about topic was the "Thunder God" on the battlefield.
Countless scholars are exploring its principles and discussing its power.
Countless onlookers were arguing about its combat power, comparing it with various classic robot images in film and television works, and arguing over who was stronger and who was weaker until their ears were red in the face.
Many people are also worried that the mayor of Changshan County will be retaliated against and overthrown.
However, the empire's attitude is puzzling to most people.
Immediately after the live broadcast ended, the Empire issued a stern statement, declaring the "Famous V" to be the most brutal murderer in history and the Empire's super evil villain, and declaring that it would capture the "Famous V" and bring him to justice at all costs.
Many people are very worried, and the Empire’s Internet is full of posts with the keyword “protection”.
But three hours later, the empire began to publicize the crimes of the former governor of Xiyanzhou, Bai Liuxi, calling Bai Liuxi the most brutal governor in history and a super evil element who infiltrated the empire.
All major newspapers, periodicals and televisions exposed Bai Liuxi's numerous crimes, severely criticized his sins and made them public.
The Supreme Council announced the dismissal of Bai Liuxi from the post of governor, removed Bai Liuxi from all official positions in the empire, and handed Bai Liuxi over to the Supreme Council for investigation.
The TV also broadcast a scene where a group of imperial garrison commanders carried the fine steel relief of Bai Liuxi and handed it over to the Supreme Council.
He looked like he was about to be brought to justice.
The cameraman also playfully gave Bai Liuxi a close-up, clearly showing his face sealed in fine steel, allowing hundreds of millions of civilians to get a glimpse of his true appearance.
The people of the empire burst into laughter.
"What else is there to review?"
"I can't stop laughing at the thought of carrying this thing to the judgement table."
"Make him a statue and put it on public display. Then carve a stone tablet and let him be infamous forever."
But with so many people, there are bound to be a few weirdos.
"Don't you think this is too cruel? Sealing a person alive in steel."
"Don't you have any reverence for life? If people make mistakes, can't you teach them and correct them?"
“Only by forgiving others can you forgive yourself.”
…
"Whose dog is this?"
"What he did is clearly written down. Go and take a look for yourself. This kind of person deserves to die a hundred times."
"You forgive him? Who will forgive the babies he threw to death, the pregnant women he kicked to death, the young girls he drove insane? Who will forgive the civilians who died of starvation?"
"This is a demon. His relief should be roasted on fire for a hundred years!"
Fortunately, the majority of people are normal. A few saints were criticized to the point of being unable to take care of themselves, and they retorted angrily: "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sleep at night?"
"I really can't sleep at night unless this scumbag is dead."
"Second."
“+1.”
“+2.”
All in all, the result is very gratifying.
Changshan County was not hit as hard as many people feared. At least to outsiders, everything seemed normal.
The imperial garrison troops seemed unaware that Lin Wen was the "famous V".
Despite emphasizing every day how evil the "famous V" is and that he must be arrested, no action has been taken.
This matter became an open secret.
Changshan County also became famous because of this and became completely famous in the empire, reaching the point where "everyone knows it."
Many people who never paid attention to the news also knew about the existence of Changshan County.
All the things Changshan County had done in the past were dug up one by one.
It was not until this time that the common people of the empire discovered that Changshan County was such a miraculous place and that the County Magistrate Lin Wen was such a miraculous person.
What he did can only be described as legendary.
The development of Changshan County is so amazing that it cannot even be described as a miracle.
In just over a year, it leapt from being the most backward region of the empire to a region with all kinds of modern facilities and unheard-of high welfare wages.
An ordinary worker here can get a salary of more than 1,000 yuan a month, and various welfare benefits equivalent to 300 yuan.
Although it is not as high as the average salary in many developed regions, it is very good for ordinary people.
The empire currently has a high unemployment rate.
Although the war with the Papal States was won, the actual profits gained were all taken away by war bonds, and the lives of civilians did not improve significantly, and many people remained impoverished.
After learning about the situation in Changshan County, many people wanted to go there to work.
So, within a very short period of time, Yang Shaohu found that the number of migrant workers began to surge again. There were already a lot of them before, and now they have increased several times.
At this time, the industrial transfer in Changshan County had not been completed. Although garment factories, leather factories, and electronics factories had begun large-scale construction, the resettlement of eight million refugees was still a difficult task.
He originally wanted to restrict the entry of outsiders, but was forcibly rejected by Lin Wen, who asked him to create more jobs in Changshan County as soon as possible.
We will accept as many people as come.
Yang Shaohu felt very embarrassed. The order for the artillery factory would end next month, and the industrial transfer of millions of people had not yet been completed.
Changshan County's economy is now stretched to its limits and extremely difficult, and cannot withstand further consumption.
Lin Wen didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time. He just said, "You figure it out yourself." Then he took a plane to Shenjing.
Yang Shaohu pulled his hair and studied in the office for an entire afternoon, but he couldn't come up with any new ideas.
When I was about to go out in the evening, Lian Mei pushed the door open.
Now her belly is slightly bulging and her face exudes the glow of motherhood. There is no trace of her past sufferings on her body, only the glow of happiness remains.
"Shaohu..." She softly called the name of her beloved husband, "Come home for dinner."
Yang Shaohu raised his head and said with a sad face, "Amei, I'm not going back today. I haven't completed the task assigned by County Chief Lin yet."
As soon as she heard County Chief Lin's name, a smile appeared on Lian Mei's face.
"Shaohu, has County Chief Lin assigned you another task?"
"Um."
"What mission?"
"We need to find a way to create jobs for migrant workers. There are very few jobs in Changshan County right now, and the new factory area has too many people transitioning to new jobs. If they're out of work for a long time, it'll be hard to manage public security..."
"Shaohu." Lian Mei tilted her head slightly and asked curiously, "Why is there no work in Changshan County?"
Yang Shaohu frowned: "Lian Mei, what do you mean..."
"Isn't County Chief Lin planning to transform the entire Changshan County? He wants to make every place in Changshan County as developed as Huaizhen. But when I look at the map, we have over 70,000 square kilometers, but most of it is still pitch black... Why can't they start building?"
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Yang Shaohu's mind.
The workers in the new factory were engaged in manufacturing, and they changed from making artillery shells to making clothes, shoes, and electrical appliances. This was their main job.
The construction work in the new town is undertaken by more than a thousand construction teams of various sizes.
Migrant workers are free and can do anything.
Why can't they develop the mountainous areas? The mineral deposits in the vast Gobi Desert west of Changshan County are about to be developed, so why can't they go there to mine? The coal mines in Changshan County are getting bigger and bigger, so why can't they go there to mine?
There are also steel and food bases, the logging camp in Shangxi Town, hunters, and newly reclaimed farmland.
There are so many things going on in Changshan County, how could there be a shortage of people?
Yang Shaohu laughed loudly, jumped up, hugged Lian Mei and started biting her madly.
Lian Mei blocked his face and said disdainfully, "Oh, in public."
Yang Shaohu smiled and said, "She is worthy of being my wife. She solved such a difficult problem in one go."
Lian Mei spat, "You're just stuck in a rut and not thinking beyond the bigger picture."
Yang Shaohu laughed so hard that he didn't know where to put his face, so he buried it in his chest and spoke sullenly.
"Wife, you are so nice."
Lian Mei's expression softened, her eyes were filled with deep sweetness, and she spoke softly.
"Shaohu, the really good thing is that we met County Magistrate Lin..."
——
Lin Wen was on the plane at this time.
The Supreme Council summoned him once again and asked him to go to Shenjing to meet the Grand Elder.
But Lin Wen didn't care much about it. If it was a macro-level danger, [Without a Colorful Phoenix] would have given a subtle alarm.
He is quite annoyed now because the special effect of "red clouds covering the head" on his body has not disappeared, and there are still twelve in the fifth magical power.
Judging from the previous results, this thing is very powerful.
If he cannot use it up properly, then even if the death star comes, he will not be able to die.
But, he is so powerful now, where can he find thirteen reasonable life and death crises?
Until the plane landed and Lin Wen arrived at the Elders' Compound, he still hadn't figured out what to do.
The compound was filled with Imperial garrisons, more than ever before, all of them staring at him with eager eyes, causing [Bodyless Phoenix] to frantically sound the alarm.
Lin Wen was very unhappy. Is it necessary for you?
Who doesn't know that causing trouble here is suicide?
This alarm is really annoying, and I can’t turn it off even if I don’t have a colorful phoenix.
Passing the vigilant imperial garrison, the great elder sat behind the long table, with no change in his expression, still indifferent and calm.
"What's up?"
Lin Wen asked unhappily. The Great Elder had forced him to borrow money and asked him to build a large-scale construction project, which burdened Changshan County with heavy debts. The huge monthly repayments made Lin Wen's heart break a little.
The Great Elder Ping Yuan asked calmly, "Lin Wen, the bottom line of the empire is that open regional conflicts will never be tolerated, let alone direct fighting and the killing of officials."
"oh."
"Neither the Supreme Council nor the Imperial Faction can directly attack enemy factions."
"oh."
"Therefore, we are offering a reward of 100 million for the 'Famous V'."
Lin Wen suddenly recovered from his trance-like state, his eyes shining.
"Then surrender now and give me the 100 million."
The Great Elder Ping Yuan looked at him expressionlessly.
The two looked at each other for a while.
Instead, it was the Great Elder Xing Ling who spoke first: "If we arrest you, will you surrender?"
Lin Wen laughed and said, "Wouldn't I run away? Then I'd turn myself in, take the reward, run away again, and then turn myself in again..."
"alright!"
The Great Elder Ping Yuan interrupted Lin Wen's nonsense.
"This is just a dead warrant. We all know this guy can't be caught."
Lin Wen said disappointedly, "That's so boring, isn't it? Don't you guys have a bounty ranking list? The famous V, with a bounty of 100 million berries, is ranked tenth, and the Immortal King Lin Wen, with a bounty of 1 billion berries, is ranked ninth... wouldn't that be interesting?"
It was the first time that the Great Elder had met someone who dared to talk nonsense in front of them.
They thought about it for a moment before realizing that what he said was complete nonsense. No matter how they tried to force it, they couldn't find any implicit meaning.
This made the elders unusually angry.
But they quickly suppressed such useless personal emotions, which would cloud their judgment.
The Great Elder Pingyuan said coldly, "Lin Wen, we called you here for only one thing."
The Great Elder Xing Ling said, "Although Bai Liuxi deserves death, and although this was Li Longxing's request, you attacked a neighboring state and openly killed the governor, which is still a serious crime against the empire."
"We are not interested in your giant technology, but you must hand over the giant thunderbolts you use on the battlefield, or at least the means to defend against them."
Lin Wen was stunned for a moment before he remembered what they were talking about.
That was the ultimate move of the Golden Divine Art, and he used it to destroy Bai Liuxi's tank and aircraft troops.
However, although the giant thunderball looked huge, its power was actually limited. It only destroyed the ground tanks by high temperature and caused the aircraft instruments to malfunction and crash by magnetic storm.
It is far from being able to achieve the feat of directly destroying countless armored groups during the war with the Papal States.
They're actually worried about this?
Lin Wen said casually, "It's very simple. All you have to do is erect a 500-meter steel needle."
The Great Elder frowned: "That's it?"
Lin Wen smiled.
"It's just a lightning rod, don't you understand?"
