Chapter 70 Up and down enjoyment
After the summary meeting on the first day of his attendance, even without using [Immortal Guidance], Lin Wen was able to keenly sense the problem.
"Huang Mingxiao."
Lin Wen interrupted Huang Mingxiao who was still explaining in detail the distribution and supervision of labor meals to the special supervisors.
"You can't do that."
"Whenever there's a problem, we just pile on people, you supervise me and I supervise him, and we apply layer upon layer of patches. Can this thing still be done?"
Huang Mingxiao was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Chief Lin, what should we do?"
"It's very simple. Each location has a designated person to distribute the rice. It's placed on the table, one bowl per person, and he gets to choose the final bowl."
"Supervisors should just do simple oversight and avoid acting like spies."
Huang Mingxiao was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly exclaimed in ecstasy, "Chief Lin is so wise! If those who share the rice want to eat the most, each bowl of rice must be evenly distributed, otherwise the extra rice will definitely be taken away by others!"
"Also, the cooking jobs should be chosen from the women who have suffered disasters. They are frugal and can make sumptuous meals with limited food, which is a hundred times better than those chefs you hired."
“It can also create jobs, and all the logistical work will be selected from them.”
"Let them elect their own representatives to oversee their work, and the supervisors will supervise the representatives."
"If you do this, administrative costs will increase infinitely, and either things will go wrong or the government will collapse."
This was the most profound statement Lin Wen had ever made. In essence, it was just some residual knowledge from junior high and high school textbooks, but it was like clearing away the clouds and fog, instantly dispelling the confusion that had long lingered in Huang Mingxiao's heart.
Huang Mingxiao was almost going crazy.
"Wise, wise, County Governor Lin is wise..."
He repeated these words like a broken gramophone, his eyes filled with fiery enthusiasm as he looked at Lin Wen.
Lin Wen couldn't stand a man looking at him like that. If it was the Seven Fairies, it would be almost the same.
So he left a sentence: "You study the details and do a good job." and slipped away.
——
Since then, the progress of the project has been extremely fast, and two days' work can be completed in one day, but Lin Wen strictly forbids Huang Mingxiao to increase the workload.
"Based on this amount, can't you just plan for two days at a time?"
"This is a normal amount in itself, and now it's an extraordinary performance."
"What if one day we encounter difficulties, or I'm away for something and the progress falls behind, and your plan is completely messed up? Wouldn't that be a blow to everyone's morale? It's easy to compress things forward, but it's much more troublesome to postpone them."
Huang Mingxiao was completely impressed, but County Chief Lin ran away after he finished speaking, without giving him a chance to ask questions.
He couldn't keep this question to himself, so he went to County Magistrate Lin's house.
It was the same shabby house he had lived in when he was mayor.
Even after being promoted to county chief, he did not change it, nor did he even add any decoration.
It is true that Changshan County's finances are very difficult, but a county governor is also the number one figure in the empire. He is fully qualified to buy himself a bigger and better house, and no one can say anything about it.
But County Magistrate Lin took the overall situation into consideration and was willing to endure such a simple and harsh living environment and rebuild homes for the victims first. This is truly admirable.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw County Chief Lin lying on the bed like a corpse.
Bai Xiu Yu and a little girl with white hair were standing one above and one below.
Massage his arms and thighs.
There were three children playing and having fun in the house.
Huang Mingxiao certainly didn't have any bad thoughts. In his opinion, which was still a fixed idea, Bai Xiuyu, a woman who was born into a disaster-stricken family, was extremely lucky to be able to enter the county government office and become County Magistrate Lin's personal secretary. This was entirely due to County Magistrate Lin's mercy.
Given County Chief Lin's status, it is normal for him to have ten or eight more girls serving him.
But Lin Wen didn't think so. He opened his eyes and saw Huang Mingxiao coming, and immediately sat up.
"Huang Mingxiao, you didn't even knock on the door?"
Huang Mingxiao was stunned for a moment and said, "Sorry, I was thinking about something."
"never mind."
Lin Wen was not in a position to pursue the matter, after all, it was not very glorious in his opinion, but there was nothing he could do. Without magic, his body could not fully adapt to long-term labor. In order to ensure that he could work the next day without any shortage of energy, which would reduce the template effect and his good fortune, he had to take some restorative measures.
After all, he can now earn about ten points of good karma in a day, without even using any magic.
It's simply outrageous.
"Okay, Bai Xiuyu, go play with the child."
"Bai girl, you go too."
The little girl with white hair stood up, but did not leave immediately.
Lin Wen sighed. This was the girl he rescued that day. Her situation was much worse than he had imagined.
In order to bring her back, Long Xinshen brutally killed her entire family of seven. However, after bringing her back, he discovered that she not only suffered from severe albinism, but also acidemia and congenital neurodegenerative disease. The cost of treating her far exceeded her value, and her physical signs were not up to standard, so she could not be used as a living organ donor.
Because she made a losing business, the furious Long Xinshen beat her up and threw her into the garbage pit, but the dying girl miraculously survived.
Later, she was discovered by a minion and dragged out to do odd jobs.
That was her first support.
Unfortunately, not long after, the minion who still had a conscience was used as a living donor and had his organs removed because he let a slave escape.
At that time, she was actually dying.
Their fate would have been to disappear like dust, and no one would remember them, as if they had never been there.
But fortunately, she met Lin Wen, and the traces that should have come to an abrupt end in this world were continued.
With part of that minions.
Because there is still someone who survived because of him and remembers him.
[Tianshui Healing Technique] cured all her diseases and injuries, except for the color of her hair and skin.
After being rescued, she was quite cooperative and told everything that had happened in the past, but she was unwilling to reveal her name.
But it doesn’t matter. Since Bai Xiu Yu took care of me, I might as well take her surname and become a sister of the Bai family.
She recovered quickly in the past few days, adapted to Bai Xiu Yu's care, and could even help her with things.
But she had a quirk. She especially liked Lin Wen to touch her forehead with his fingers. If he didn't let her, she would stay by Lin Wen's side and not leave.
Lin Wen was really helpless about this.
Although the gender was not right, Lin Wen always felt it was not auspicious, as if one day in the future she would chop off this guy who always made "stupid Ou Doudou" movements.
"Forget it, it's just a flag in the physical world, it doesn't matter."
Lin Wen tapped her forehead lightly with his finger, and the girl immediately smiled and turned to join the children in playing.
"alright."
Lin Wen looked at Huang Mingxiao with a bad expression.
"What do you want?"
Huang Mingxiao's mind was full of the disaster victims and he didn't notice Lin Wen's expression.
"Chief Lin, at this rate, the first batch of residences should be completed in no more than a month."
"What should we do with it after it's built? Will it be left vacant? Or should we give some disaster victims space to live in first?"
Lin Wen sneered:
"Are you out of your mind?"
"The first batch of homes were given to children and the sick, followed by women and the elderly, and finally young and middle-aged men. Only after the construction was basically completed did they officially allocate them based on the number of people and families."
Huang Mingxiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "But if that's the case, the value of the first batch of houses will be lower than the ones that come later. If they are the ones who are finally allocated one, some people will also feel that it's unfair."
Huang Mingxiao was well versed in civil affairs and knew that if the word "unfair" appeared, it would be like a delicious meal that would be completely ruined if even a little bit of dog shit got mixed in.
"You're really stupid, really."
"It's simply that some people think it's unlucky to have a sick, elderly, or woman living in a house. This kind of feudal superstition can be dealt with using feudal superstition."
"You have to use magic to defeat magic, understand?"
Huang Mingxiao was confused: "What do you mean?"
"Can't I just stay there one more night?"
"Who would dare to say it's unlucky if the immortal slept in a house for a night?"
Lin Wen yawned loudly and lay back down, ignoring Huang Mingxiao's eyes which were filled with sudden enlightenment and ardent admiration.
"Anything else? If not, go ahead."
Huang Mingxiao walked out the door and could still hear the voice inside:
"Bai girl, I'm warning you, don't do unnecessary little movements every time. Just press where I tell you to, and especially don't move this spot, okay?"
