Chapter 451: The Moment of Destiny (Part 2)
Even when they returned to Changshan County, Qin Luoshuang was still angry and unwilling to talk to Lin Wen.
But as soon as Lin Wen started talking about business, she responded again.
"Investigate Yu Zhongxian's company? What do you want to do? I'm telling you, I'm the commander of the Dragon Group. If you act on your own again, I won't do it!"
"well."
Lin Wen compromised.
"I'll do whatever you want. If you tell me to lie down, I won't do it standing up."
Qin Luoshuang looked at him suspiciously: "Are you trying to fool me again?"
Lin Wen smiled harmlessly. "No, and you misunderstood me. I've always been a peace-loving person. I never kill innocent people or disrupt order... Even if someone makes a small mistake, I won't blame them. I'll just help them mend their ways."
Qin Luoshuang looked at him with squinted eyes.
"Lin Wen, I've noticed you're really good at joking. I wonder what you were thinking when you punched someone in the head?"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "This is called punishing the past to prevent future ones, curing the disease to save the patient. Since he has committed an irreparable crime, let him pay the price with his death, so that future generations will not repeat the same mistakes."
"I'm helping them atone for their sins in this way. Even though they're dead, they must be very grateful to me in their hearts."
Qin Luoshuang looked at him speechlessly.
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. What on earth are you trying to do by investigating Yu Zhongxian's business?"
"I'm telling you, if you violently destroy a legitimate business, the Great Elder will make you pay the price..."
Lin Wen's eyes lit up. This was a good idea.
“What if they don’t know?”
"The number of groups in the entire empire that possess super special combat bodies can be counted on one hand. The Great Elder knew it was you without even checking."
"oh."
Lin Wen was slightly disappointed. "Then let's stick with the original plan. I plan to compete with their pharmaceutical companies and crush them."
He told Qin Luoshuang exactly what Li Longxing had said.
Qin Luoshuang was silent for a long time after listening to this.
"Your Majesty didn't ask you to tell me this, did you?" she said softly.
"No."
"But that's what he meant." Qin Luoshuang said seriously.
"I don't understand." Lin Wen said impatiently: "It's no use telling me. You are my backup. I will tell you everything."
Qin Luoshuang didn't know whether she should be touched or some other emotion. She had just been wandering in the cold conspiracy, and suddenly she returned to the pure white and clean world.
Thousands of words gathered in my heart, but I only said one sentence.
"Thanks."
Lin Wen scratched his head and suddenly touched her: "Okay, you're welcome."
Qin Luoshuang felt her glass heart broken again.
"Go to hell!"
——
I came back from this trip to the capital with a lot of troubles. The Great Elder said, the Emperor of the Empire said, nothing is easy to resolve.
Lin Wen had a terrible headache, and he couldn't repair the immortality.
As soon as the sun rises, I will go to Wolong to discuss the matter.
"Investment expanded to 300 billion? That's a good thing."
Lord Zhao Ming was very happy.
"Then I can focus on development and directly plan based on the final stage blueprint. This will save me a lot of trouble."
He pulled the largest blueprint from the pile of papers and unfolded it on his desk.
"Chief Lin, look, this is my ultimate vision for the development of Changshan County. With the new town as its center, we will create a Changshan County that is well-connected and prosperous."
"Ah?" Lin Wen looked at the densely packed plan map that looked like a spider web, and felt like his eyes were cracked.
The excited Zhao Minggong did not notice Lin Wen's abnormality and pointed to the center of the countless lines and said.
"Chief Lin, the location of the new town you chose is excellent. For a long time, I have been thinking about how Changshan County should develop in order to achieve the fastest, largest, and best results."
"Although Huaizhen is prosperous, it is located at the entrance of Changshan County, far away from the entire Changshan County. It has no role in promoting the development of the entire region. Building Changshan County with it as the center will be fast in the early stage, but it will have a restrictive effect in the future."
"You know the siphon effect, right? Huaizhen's over-prosperity sucks away all the resources of the surrounding area. One family gets richer, and millions become poorer. That's exactly what's happening in the poverty belt surrounding the imperial capital."
"But where should the center be? I've been thinking about this question for 30 years and still don't have an answer."
Zhao Minggong showed an expression mixed with emotion and relief.
"Until I saw Newtown."
"This is the town you rebuilt for the disaster victims. It was very unremarkable at first, but if you follow its development path, you'll realize it has everything going for it..."
"It's in the very center of Changshan County, closest to all the major areas of Changshan County. It has water and infrastructure. If a major east-west transportation line is built in the future, it will also be located on the shortest transportation line."
"This can't be accidental. You must have seen through this long ago and chose this position."
Zhao Minggong said with a smile.
"Chief Lin, you are truly unfathomable, lurking thousands of miles away."
Lin Wen scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"I can't help it. Although I try hard to be an ordinary person, my IQ of 250 won't allow me to do that. This is my instinctive reaction, and I'm helpless."
Zhao Minggong smiled and said, "Chief Lin, I originally planned to use three to five years to move the center of Changshan County from Huai Town to Xin Town, but now that we have sufficient funds, we can directly implement the final plan."
He brought out a pile of documents.
“This is the complete supporting plan.”
"Once completed, the new town will be a massive city covering 5,000 square kilometers, accommodating tens of millions of people and offering countless job opportunities... This is a new round of land and foundation work. I'll have to trouble County Chief Lin to notify the Java Engineering Team."
Zhao Minggong added, "We have money now, and the Java Engineering Team's payment can be settled at any time."
Lin Wen hurriedly said, "No, no, the brothers from the Java Engineering Team said that the meat from Changshan County is delicious, and they agreed to pay in five years."
Zhao Minggong smiled and said, "In that case, our funds will be much more abundant, and I can do more."
——
Coming out of Zhao Minggong's office, Lin Wen felt both pain and happiness.
It's time to hammer the ground again.
And the workload is even heavier this time.
However, now I have experience, tools, and help.
The Java Engineering team has also evolved.
Just wait for the next good fortune to come and then we can start construction.
Lin Wen thought.
Three hundred billion investment! If Changshan County can fully absorb it, it will bring about tremendous development.
By then, Huaizhen will serve as the facade, Xinzhen will be the center, and the red flowers and green leaves will be perfect.
But soon Lin Wen started to worry again because a letter from the empire's highest military department arrived.
He was asked to provide the time and location of the Changshan County Military Expo, and specifically noted that it should not exceed one week.
"Damn it, the elders are all a bunch of scumbags."
Lin Wen felt very sad.
His Winter Wind-41 is actually a big fireball that can accelerate. How can he provide the technology?
Did he copy out the spell description of [Pyromancy]?
Of course, we can’t give you the real Dongfeng-41.
Intercontinental ballistic missiles are the ultimate weapon of mass destruction. Their terminal penetration speed is as high as twenty times the speed of sound. They can also change their trajectory and carry multiple warheads, making them impossible to defend against.
Even if Lin Wen used [Asking the Way to Heaven], it would still cost a huge amount of money.
Moreover, the world is almost having nuclear bombs. Judging from the nature of the empire, it is probably no different from the nuclear bomb maniac Gandhi.
If the whole world were to be destroyed by nuclear war, then as the inventor of the weapon of mass destruction, Lin Wen would never be able to cultivate to immortality.
Do we have to use physical technology to recreate the methods of cultivating immortals?
Lin Wen thought.
However, the two systems are different, and many things that seem very simple in the cultivation of immortals are very difficult using physical techniques.
Before Lin Wen could figure out what to do, he received another piece of bad news.
People from the Imperial Finance Bureau and the Imperial Federal Reserve came and brought a loan contract of 190 billion.
Lin Wen had to accompany Old Xie, who was suffering from epilepsy, to the meeting.
A gorilla and a fat pig were talking for a long time at their seats. Lin Wen became really impatient and snatched the agreement from his hand.
"Here you go."
Sign at the speed of light and throw the agreement back.
"Where's the money?"
"What money?" The fat pig was stunned.
Lin Wen's eyes suddenly became dangerous: "How dare you steal my money?"
The gorilla keenly sensed something was amiss and quickly explained, "County Governor Lin, you may have missed something just now. To ensure the healthy development of Changshan County, to ensure that Changshan County's special construction funds are not misappropriated and are effectively and reliably invested in Changshan County's construction rather than used for personal enjoyment... we will directly contact the contractors building Changshan County and pay their construction costs."
The fat pig said, "Chief Lin, this is actually very easy to understand. The process hasn't changed much from before. You choose, negotiate, cooperate, and construct, and we pay. Only the last step has changed."
"However, County Chief Lin, I remind you that we strictly review every payment. Don't try to collude with others to embezzle special funds."
Lin Wen was very unhappy after hearing this. The Great Elder was too stingy and not generous at all.
Although the impact is not significant, it is still somewhat uncomfortable as the use of funds is restricted.
It’s really hard to get the Great Elder’s money.
Lin Wenxin sighed.
However, having investment is a good thing. The faster Changshan County develops, the more good fortune he will have, the more luck he will have, and the stronger his strength will be.
The stronger he is, the faster Changshan County will develop.
The effect of this 300 billion investment in Changshan County is dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that in other regions.
This is a business that is sure to make money.
From now on, Changshan County’s real great development has arrived, and it will rush forward on the fast lane of the times.
But from now on, Changshan County also had a huge burden on its shoulders.
The repayment method for the loan from the Imperial Bank is monthly repayment based on interest. Changshan County will repay 6.334 billion yuan to the Imperial Bank every month until five years later.
The total repayment amount is 380 billion.
Changshan County's finances are facing tremendous pressure.
Funding once again became the sword of Damocles hanging over Changshan County.
For Lin Wen, this is both an opportunity and a challenge.
He will push forward the major reform plan he has long planned.
——
Attacking the Council was the last thing Li Longxing did before going to war.
He worked hard and persuaded many local officials, and finally the "Treaty on the Prohibition of Dangerous Biological and Chemical Weapons and Inhumane Human Experiments" was passed at the Imperial Congress.
The Imperial Council of State, a symbol of the new laws of the Emperor, also began to formally perform its supervisory duties for this treaty.
Although there is no way to completely eradicate the biochemical laboratories of the Council and the Evolutionary Sect for the time being, it can at least make them restrain themselves a little.
Moreover, this also provides a legal basis for dealing with them in the future.
After completing this task, Li Longxing devoted all his energy to the expedition.
He will take away all the Royal Guards, more than one-third of the Imperial Army's Central Corps, and a total of more than 400,000 troops sent from various regions.
At the same time, he will also take away Li Linyue, Li Yuchen, Li Qingyue, as well as his wife and all immediate family members.
All the Royal Guards will follow.
put all one's eggs in one basket.
Li Longxing bet all his wealth on it.
This was an opportunity he had finally seized.
Li Longxing knew that if he failed this time, there would never be a next time.
He must fight without any worries and in the best condition.
Life and death depend on this one move.
If you fail, then take the opportunity to leave this turbid world.
The empire also entered the most severe state of alert at this time.
After he left, the imperial capital became emptier than ever before, and the imperial army reached its weakest moment in history.
No one knows whether there will be any unusual movements among the major "feudal kings" in the empire.
The Supreme Council was on edge, scanning the entire empire with its "big eyes".
The four great elders sit in the center and control the overall situation.
The situation in the empire is very delicate.
Everyone was cautious and kept to themselves to avoid unnecessary attacks.
No news media is making trouble anymore, no matter they are official, group or self-media, they are all very honest, reporting all matters concerning the expedition truthfully and in a peaceful manner, not daring to cause any more trouble.
The originally planned grand departure ceremony was cancelled and everything took place in silence.
Countless trains continuously transported soldiers and weapons and equipment to the front line.
When the emperor of the empire left the imperial capital with his elite troops, the sky was gloomy and it was drizzling.
There was no welcoming ceremony, no flowers, cheers or applause. The soldiers, carrying their guns, walked out of the imperial capital in silence.
As the empire continued to send more troops to the front line, the atmosphere between the two countries became unprecedentedly tense.
Late winter is coming to an end.
Just waiting for the first breeze of spring to blow, this unprecedented war is about to begin.
This is also the moment that determines the fate of countless people.
