Chapter 543 This is Unscientific
Old Xie's mouth was crooked, and he and Xiao Xiao looked at each other, both feeling speechless.
Although this is indeed a solution, why do you sound like you can solve it?
Old Xie, with a lot of complaints, invited County Chief Lin to come.
However, to everyone's surprise, County Governor Lin had no solution.
"No?"
Old Xie felt like the sky was about to fall. If County Governor Lin couldn't do anything, wouldn't Changshan County be doomed?
Wouldn’t all the industry that we worked so hard to build be wasted?
Didn’t this prosperous scene, which had finally come to fruition, disappear in the blink of an eye like a passing cloud?
Old Xie really couldn't accept it. If the situation couldn't be reversed, the only way to save Changshan County was to make more than 95% of the people unemployed. Then the wave of 10 million unemployed would hit. Even if the entire Changshan County didn't collapse, I'm afraid it would go back to ten years ago, right?
So why have they worked so hard for so long?
Thinking of the past, Old Xie couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lin Wen remained silent.
The "Dragon's Roar" had long ended, and he was now relying on the 30-40% of his spirit energy that he recovered every day to work. There were still a few days left for this month's settlement.
Before settlement, he is in the extremely low combat power stage.
To use a metaphor, he is like a person who lives from paycheck to paycheck. When he first gets his salary, he spends it lavishly and has a blast. But after a week, once his salary is gone, he has no choice but to eat dirt.
Now, only 70% of his soul is left, and the answers to [Immortal Guidance] are very expensive, which he cannot afford.
Since magic doesn’t work, Lin Wen can only use his wisdom to solve the problem.
At present, except for Dongqinzhou, Yunzhou and Zhongzhou, all states have stopped importing. Even Shizhou, which has always been on good terms with Changshan County, has been forced to stop.
Zhang Shuangxi, the new governor of Shizhou, sent a special email to Lin Wen, saying that he was alone and had no backing in the empire, so he was forced to follow the crowd and asked County Magistrate Lin to forgive him.
Changshan County has a huge industry, and it is impossible for these three states alone to absorb so many industries.
How can we make them change their minds?
Use powerful ships and guns to force open the door to trade?
However, Lin Wen's plan for a scientific army has not yet been implemented, and the mecha warriors, Gundams, helicarriers and floating cities are still in the draft stage.
The Empire would not allow him to do so.
What should I do then?
Lin Wen was a little hesitant, wondering whether to use the trump card of the good fortune spell.
There are only seven days left before this month ends, and the Death Star is about to arrive... If you use your trump card knowing that the catastrophe is coming, will it be considered suicide?
Just then, the phone in his arms rang and Lin Wen pressed the answer button.
It’s Li Longxing.
"Lin Wen, you should know what happened."
Lin Wen suddenly remembered that he still had the Royal Faction card. He always forgot his own faction.
"Well, most of the governors have stopped it. Do you have any ideas?"
On the phone, Li Longxing's voice sounded very low:
"This is their counterattack against us. I will never give in. The empire's administrative decrees must be unified. This kind of situation where the governor privately sets local taxes is absolutely not allowed. Lin Wen, I have already contacted international buyers for you. The Xiusu Empire, the Western Federation, and the Narema Third Empire have all pledged to purchase your goods."
Lin Wen smiled and said, "Yes, you are very reliable. I didn't expect that you would start international trade so soon."
Li Longxing said seriously, "Lin Wen, don't be too happy. They have additional requirements. First, the price must be what you would sell it for within the empire. Second, they hope to meet you in person."
Lin Wen frowned slightly.
If the original price remains unchanged, there will be an additional shipping fee out of thin air, and his already low profit will become even smaller.
Of course, this is at least better than not being able to sell it.
But what was strange was that they actually asked to see him by name.
Could it be that the name of Emperor Lin Wen has already spread throughout the world?
Lin Wen asked, "Why do you want to see me?"
There was a hint of smile in Li Longxing's voice.
"Isn't it because you hurt them? The war in the Papal States was an unprecedented and devastating defeat for them. The war involved weapons that had never before affected warfare in history."
"They've been reviewing the war since it ended, and naturally, they're very interested in you, who played a decisive role in such a crucial battle. They might want to discuss robots with you."
"Lin Wen, you can disclose some data appropriately, but don't sell them the blueprints and core technology. They are the fruits of your wisdom and science."
Lin Wen was very happy. He was worthy of being the emperor of the empire. His words were always pleasant to the ears.
Moreover, Li Longxing's words also reminded him that there was still wool to be fleeced in the world.
Then why not sell them the robot's blueprints?
Can you build a power core? Do you have the technology to transform into an avatar? Can you realize the power of a fox spirit descending into the world?
hehe.
Isn't this much more cost-effective than making a deal with the Empire?
The Great Elder is extremely stingy.
Maybe you can exchange it for some money. Without saying too much, just pay the shipping fee.
Li Longxing added, "The customs officers are all my people. I've already made arrangements. You can just go out to sea. Remember to use Imperial Dollars when you trade, or you'll be ripped off by them."
"Okay, I understand."
"Goodbye, kid. Take care. Lin Yabo and the others are getting restless again. Be careful of assassinations."
"Isn't that just right?"
"You little brat..."
Li Longxing laughed, knowing that his special forces body was very strong, he said nothing more and hung up the phone.
As soon as the call ended, cheers suddenly rang out around Lin Wen.
Yang Shaohu and Xiao Xiao were extremely excited, while Old Xie was crying with snot all over his face, which he wiped on Lin Wen. Lin Wen pushed him away in disgust.
——
Now that we have a buyer, the rest will be easy.
The three of them immediately began to prepare. Xiao Xiao personally went on board, ready to negotiate with foreign buyers, vowing to get a good price.
Yang Shaohu quickly arranged everything, and Lao Xie specially sent a financial team to follow him.
In this way, the cargo ship loaded with cargo set off from Changshan County Port again, and the port returned to normal after being shut down for several days.
Lin Wen was of course also on the boat, but not completely.
He claimed he was there, but in fact he was still in Changshan County.
In the last seven days before his reincarnation, he will write down all his unfinished plans and programs, and leave behind the secret books "General Relativity" and "Quantum Mechanics" to contribute to the scientific development of this world.
In addition, he also has to complete a large number of scripts that have not been completed before, including "Titanic", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", "Nomadland", "Forrest Gump", "Disinfectant", and classic films such as "2012" that Lin Wen has always envied.
There are also a large number of planning schemes, such as SF Express, Taobao Pinxixi, Choutuan Baoleme, Douyin Kuaishou, etc.
There are also a large number of game plans and scientific and technological achievements.
And the top-secret atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb manufacturing technology that is only allowed to be passed down from generation to generation by the mayor of Changshan County.
These are his legacy, which will assist Qin Luoshuang in ascending the throne and continuing the everlasting miracle of Changshan County.
In addition, Lin Wen must take advantage of this last opportunity to resolve all hidden dangers in Changshan County and ensure the stable development of Changshan County for at least the next year.
In short, there are so many things to do. Lin Wen spends the whole day either writing furiously at his desk or running around. The fact that he is sailing on the ship is top secret. Only Yang Shaohu, Xiao Xiao and Lao Xie know about it. Lin Wen just needs to avoid them.
To the three of them, Lin Wen was an unstable quantum state. Before observation, quantum clouds covered Changshan County, and after observation, he collapsed onto the ship.
And Quantum Linwen even found time to try to save his democracy.
He didn't want to leave with nothing.
There were also plans to reverse his scientific image, so that people would not say that he was resurrected three days after his death and created the Twelve Apostles or something like that.
that's all.
Changshan County has returned to peace again. It is still running along the existing roads. Qin Luoshuang, Yang Shaohu and others are still frantically building new factories.
These labor-intensive industries do not require any technical expertise. All you need is an empty factory, a row of one-piece sewing machines, and you can start working.
It only takes six or seven days to build a factory. Changshan County has nearly one million workers and can build thousands of factories in a week.
This is how large-scale industries work. There are no barriers to entry, and all profits come from meticulous management and cost accounting, which is exactly what Qin Luoshuang is best at. Even Yang Shaohu can't compare to her.
Moreover, although the states prohibited the sale of Changshan County's goods, they did not prohibit Changshan County from purchasing machinery and raw materials.
Who doesn’t love a little money?
The empire's economy is now improving rapidly. A large amount of wealth is pouring into the empire from the Papal States. The profits from the war are being returned. The empire's hot money is growing rapidly. Finance, real estate and stocks have super high profits. Who would be willing to engage in hard, tiring and low-profit industries?
Yaojing Real Estate is already making crazy money. What good are all those machines, raw materials, and production lines? Can a hundred years of production be enough to buy a building?
Therefore, the governors of various states tacitly prohibited Changshan County from reaping their wealth, but they frantically sold their unwanted garbage to Changshan County, and even wanted to sell off their workers, retaining only high-profit, high-tech industries and low-cost planting industries.
The rest all turned to financial real estate.
Imperial finance and real estate were also part of Li Longxing's economic revitalization plan, which secured him substantial support and enabled him to successfully implement his reforms. Within the empire's treasury, thirty trillion renminbi (approximately US$1.3 trillion) in war bond revenue was being poured frantically into road and real estate construction across the country, a strategy that boiled the frog in warm water.
When road traffic and real estate were linked, border management in and out of the states became a shackle that hindered their wealth. Li Longxing could naturally take away this power and realize the free flow of the empire's population, instead of requiring complicated procedures as before, making it difficult for non-rich people to move freely across states.
The Governor's power cannot be taken away all at once; it can only be peeled off layer by layer like peeling an onion.
Li Longxing has now reached a very deep area. The battle on the surface seems to have disappeared, but the struggle in the dark is extremely fierce.
Among the eight elders, he obtained the full support of Elder Wang Wengong, the recognition of Elders Ye Nantian and Xu Chengguo, and to a limited extent, the affirmation of Elder Ren Zhengqing.
This is also the reason why he was able to destroy so many interests from top to bottom and promote imperial reforms.
But there are still many enemies and potential enemies. Their power seems unstoppable, but they are not solid. As long as you tear the onion well, you will peel them into pieces sooner or later.
In addition to the economic and political aspects, a military background is also indispensable. The Royal Guards hold a military exercise almost every other day. Sheng Huaixuan no longer cares about the constraints of the empire and demonstrates the powerful military strength of Dongqinzhou.
The governors then discovered that this state, which had been silently implementing military management, had actually formed a modern regular army of 700,000.
Together with the United Royal Guards, it already exceeds half of the Central Army's strength.
Of course, the possibility of a large-scale civil war breaking out in the empire is extremely small. Military force is the background for stabilizing people's hearts. It is like talking in a stable house and talking under a swaying tree in the wind and rain. The effects are completely different.
The pilot program in Xiyanzhou is achieving good results. If it can prove that Your Majesty's reforms are correct and can truly make the empire great again, then, with the support of the people, the governors will not be unable to give up their power and adapt to the new environment.
For the same reason, Xiyanzhou and Changshan County, which was frantically expanding, absorbing unemployed people, and frantically purchasing machines and raw materials, became thorns in the eyes of the opposition group.
At their suggestion, the governors united to ban the entry of Changshan County goods because this was in their interests.
However, Changshan County's opening of international trade links had no impact on them, and even brought a little benefit, so there was no governor to stop it.
But this is absolutely intolerable to the opposition group. In their view, a collapsed Changshan County is a good Changshan County.
So, on the fifth calm day, Lin Wen received a call from Xiao Xiao.
"Sheriff Lin, you're on that boat! What should we do?"
Lin Wen calmly activated [A World Away] and locked onto Xiao Xiao.
White light is radiating from the body, and observation is coming soon.
"What happened?"
"What...what happened? Are you on board? Our ship has stopped! Something has damaged the propeller! We are in the middle of the ocean!"
"Oh, I'm on the boat."
The next moment, Schrödinger's cat box was opened, and observation came. Quantum Lin Wen collapsed onto a freighter thousands of kilometers away and appeared behind Xiao Xiao.
He was at the bow of a massive ocean liner, yelling into the phone, "You're on a shitty ship! I've searched all the cargo ships, and there's no sign of you."
"I'm on the boat." Lin Wen said.
Xiao Xiao said furiously: "If you are on the boat, I will jump off from here, swim back to Changshan County, and run naked for a month!"
Lin Wen patted his shoulder.
"Stop bothering me!" Xiao Xiao yelled, but the person behind him didn't understand at all and continued to take pictures.
Xiao Xiao was furious and jumped back suddenly, "Are you looking for a fight...eh? County Chief Lin!!"
Lin Wen laughed and said, "Forget about jumping. You probably can't swim back even after thousands of miles. Just run for a month."
Xiao Xiao was like seeing a ghost: "Where did you come from?"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "I have been on the ship, in seclusion to concentrate on studying scientific theorems."
Xiao Xiao seemed to believe it: "So that's how it is, you are worthy of it, it's really scientific."
Lin Wen was very happy to hear this and no longer cared about the naked incident.
"What's the problem now?"
Xiao Xiao recounted the incident in detail.
They went down the river and went out to sea smoothly. He contacted international buyers such as the Xiusu Empire and expected to arrive at the corresponding country's port in three days. As long as County Chief Lin was willing to join their military and technological exchange meeting, they were willing to purchase Changshan County's goods on a long-term basis.
Everything was fine, but just as they reached the center of the ocean, a loud and strange noise suddenly came from underwater, and then all the cargo ships lost power.
The mechanics soon discovered that all their propellers were damaged, and some freighters even had their turbine engines damaged, as if metal objects had been thrown into the rotors.
"This is a difficult situation now, County Chief Lin. With so many cargo ships stranded, it would be very troublesome to tow them back. The cost would be very high, and it would greatly delay our time!"
Lin Wen was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
"Don't worry, it's just a small matter."
Xiao Xiao asked anxiously: "How can it be a small matter? How can this be solved?"
Lin Wen smiled and said, "I anticipated this and brought a high-powered submersible tugboat that can tow all the cargo ships."
"ah?"
Xiao Xiao's mouth was obviously crooked. Although he was the god of economics, he still had some basic scientific knowledge. Tugboats did have a large power ratio, but what kind of tugboat could tow more than ten giant ocean-going cargo ships of 100,000 tons?
Aren't tugboats supposed to operate in ports? Why would they be operating in the open ocean?
And why does the tugboat dive?
Just when he was about to raise this unscientific statement with County Chief Lin, he saw him sneer and walk to the side of the ship.
"How dare you start a water fight with me? You don't even take me seriously. You're really courting death."
He turned around, did a 3600-degree somersault forward thirty and a half times, and jumped into the sea from the bow of the ship, which was more than ten meters high.
