Chapter 209 Dog
Everyone in Longzhou knows that Gu Zhengyi is a lustful man. Not only is he lustful, he is also shameless.
However, Gu Zhengyi's reputation in Longzhou is better than that of most governors in their own states.
Because Longzhou controls 60% of the empire's gold mines, it is relatively wealthy.
Of course, the reason for this was that the previous governor had messed up the gold mines, causing the imperial headquarters' gold revenue to drop by 90% in one month, and he was eventually dismissed and investigated.
After Gu Zhengyi came to power, he paid great attention to this aspect. He increased the miners' wages to 600 yuan per month, reduced working hours to 13 hours, distributed some labor protection supplies, and implemented a measurement system, with rewards for exceeding targets.
Since then, Longzhou has been relatively stable. Lin Wen came here to cause trouble last time, but he only killed the rich.
In Gu Zhengyi's heart, nothing is more charming than beauty.
And Ye Lingyue is the biggest and brightest of all the pearls.
Of course he couldn't refuse the beauty's request.
But he couldn't offend the Qin Group either, after all, he had received the gifts.
After thinking about it, Gu Zhengyi came up with a plan.
"Let him go out to sea. The Imperial Precious Gold Inspection Department is full of my people. I'll let them go. You can just buy it on the high seas. I'll contact a few foreign gold merchants, and you can make a fortune by reselling it."
Then there was another round of sweet talk, but Ye Lingyue was not very satisfied, because Gu Laogui's love talk was earthy and unoriginal, and was totally unlike Lin Wen's words which were full of spirituality, implicit but not explicit, pure and romantic.
A moment later, after ending the call, Ye Lingyue thought about it and brought out Xiao Xiao, who had been forgotten in the corner of her memory.
This call was simpler.
"Go help Lin Wen sell the gold. Remember to sell it at a high price."
After a brief conversation, he was dismissed.
A moment later, Xiao Xiao, who had long been forgotten by Lin Wen, broke in. His face was flushed and his nostrils were bigger than his mouth with excitement.
"Haha! The goddess can finally use me!"
"Headmaster Lin, give me your gold!"
Lin Wen asked, "Did Ye Lingyue ask you to come?"
Xiao Xiao's face darkened instantly, and she pointed at Lin Wen and said, "Please call her Goddess Ye or Miss Ye, otherwise I will get angry."
Lin Wenkai took a look and saw that his lion-dog-like aura was baring its teeth and growling.
Lin Wen finally remembered who this guy was. He was the one who gave him a lot of money to be promoted to a mid-level staff member. He was full of grand theories and was later sent to write a book.
"Have you finished writing your magnum opus?" Lin Wen asked.
Xiao Xiao said arrogantly, "Do you think this is just a rubbish article from a third-rate journal? This is a book-length essay. I want to write a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages. How can I finish it so quickly?"
Lin Wen continued, "I remember everyone seemed to call her Madam Ye?"
Xiao Xiao's expression darkened. "He's a scumbag, a scumbag. He has the best woman in the world, but he thinks he's in a cage. Sooner or later, I'm going to kill him in a fair duel."
At this moment, Xia Xiaoxiang, who was standing by, suddenly recognized him. "Oh! You're the idiot Qin was talking about! The guy who implemented the Becca Kane labor system in the town, forcibly changing the only source of income and causing the economy to collapse!"
Xiao Xiao's face flushed red in an instant, and she argued, "You're talking nonsense! It was obvious that there were external fluctuations and the market was down, and the residents experienced a wealth dilution effect..."
Xia Xiaoxiang sneered and was too lazy to say anything more.
Lin Wen asked, "How are you going to sell it?"
Xiao Xiao's expression showed both frustration and anger, but these were soon replaced by confidence. He said:
"Miss Ye has already contacted Governor Gu. A group of foreign businessmen will come to bid for the auction. The world situation is very turbulent right now, and the price of hard currency like gold is rising very quickly. They are very eager for gold."
Lin Wen asked again: "How much can you sell it for?"
Xiao Xiao confidently replied, "400 per gram, a total of 1.2 billion. If it's less than that, you don't have to do anything. I will commit suicide in front of the goddess."
Lin Wen nodded with satisfaction. It was 200 million more than expected.
"What do you need?"
"A large cruise ship, enough guards, and a group of reliable financial personnel."
"I will close this deal on the high seas."
"Okay. I'll have Qin Luoshuang send someone to follow, and have Lei Tiantong accompany you to handle the finances. I look forward to your victorious return."
Xiao Xiao smiled with satisfaction: "It's still County Chief Lin who understands me, unlike that bitch."
He walked up to Lin Wen and high-fived him, then walked out with full confidence.
Yang Shaohu filled a notebook with notes. He felt that he had gained a lot and had made great progress in his thinking. He needed to consolidate and strengthen it quickly. He hurriedly said goodbye to County Governor Lin and quickly went back.
Old Xie went back with his mouth full of saliva, and he was still muttering as he left: "1.2 billion, a perfect match, 1.2 billion, a two-pronged approach, 1.2 billion, a man on top of a man..."
Lin Wen said to Xia Xiaoxiang, "You and Qin Luoshuang are good friends. Please tell her a few things for me."
Without waiting for her to speak, Lin Wen continued:
"First, ask her to send someone to keep an eye on Xiao Xiao and ensure the safety of the gold."
"Second, she was asked to send people to disperse the crowds of onlookers watching the Java engineering team's work."
"Third, it's your business. You need to recruit some high-end talents."
"Okay, that's all. I'm leaving."
"Hello……"
Lin Wen left quickly, ignoring Xia Xiaoxiang's calls behind him.
Since the new town has established a formal town office, the Home Reconstruction Command was officially disbanded and the Civil Affairs Department moved back.
However, personnel work has not yet been arranged and assigned, so some officials are still stranded in the Civil Affairs Department.
Lin Wen went directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau's office and found Lei Tiantong who was reading the report.
Under [Observing the Qi and Observing the Person], Lei Tiantong's Qi was still in the shape of granite. The difference from what was seen before was that the dense cracks on the granite had disappeared a lot, and the gas was also more active.
The success of disaster relief and home reconstruction work must have been a great encouragement to him.
"Lei Tiantong, get ready. Bring some financial staff with you and board the ship with Xiao Xiao to prepare for the gold auction."
Lei Tiantong nodded, still looking serious and stern.
Lin Wen continued, "After you come back, I plan to transfer you to a new department as a supervisor. But before that, you will have to serve as the deputy director of the Finance Department for a while. Do you understand?"
Lei Tiantong nodded: "I understand. Old Xie has worked very hard these past few months. This is what he deserves."
After saying goodbye to Lei Tiantong, Lin Wen went to inspect Fang Dashan's recruitment work. This was the guarantee for the future of Changshan County and an important assistant to Lin Wen, who could help him share a lot of work and bad karma.
When two armies fight, each serving its own master and doing its duty faithfully, it is not considered bad karma, as long as the purpose of the war is not personal gain.
Of course, neither can the Holocaust.
It is impossible for Lin Wen to command the army to do such a thing.
Fang Dashan's enthusiasm during this period has reached the sky. He followed Lin Wen in the first place because County Governor Lin had the power of military governorship, spoke well, was a person of the same kind, and was a big shot who was bound to be promoted in the future.
The ending was indeed just as it was. Within a few months, County Governor Lin had achieved the unprecedented unification of the three powers and had reached the peak of his life.
As the commander of the garrison troops in Changshan County, Fang Dashan was able to obtain independent military power that even the regional military commander did not have. This was the first time in history.
Therefore, as soon as he heard County Governor Lin asking him to expand the army, he immediately threw himself into the work.
So far, 3,000 new recruits have been recruited and are undergoing military training. It is planned to recruit another 7,800 new recruits, which will be completed in several phases.
Lin Wen specially approved the allocation of more military funds to them to improve their lives and increase their income.
Afterwards, Lin Wen quickly went back to sleep.
His spirit was exhausted, and tonight's construction was cancelled, which disappointed many people who were waiting there to see the Java engineering team.
In the next few days, everything went according to plan. Lin Wen slept during the day and worked at night. Although Qin Luoshuang didn't see him, her agents arrived as promised and drove away all the onlookers.
Lin Wen's construction site became a top-secret area, and the mysterious Java engineering team and its incredible project sparked countless rumors.
Lin Wen did not just work mindlessly. In his spare time, he studied the industrial situation of the empire and prepared to select a high-value-added and high-profit industry to become the pillar industry of Changshan County.
But there were too many choices, and Lin Wen couldn't make up his mind for a while. He decided to wait until Fang Weiwei's "Changshan County Investigation" report was completed, and then make a choice based on the existing conditions in Changshan County.
The cruise ship carrying three tons of gold has set off. Xiao Xiao, along with a large group of fully armed crows, as well as elite financial personnel such as Lei Tiantong, set off in high spirits.
They will sail downstream along the Tianjiang River, enter the Dalongjiang River, and then go out to sea to complete the transaction on the high seas.
There is a certain risk, but with the fully armed crows around, there should be no problem.
The road construction project is proceeding at ten times the speed. Chief Engineer Yang is busy every day, wishing that every grain of sand can be arranged according to his established plan to avoid any mistakes in his great miracle project.
