Chapter 422 Imperial Turtle
Lin Wen had been in Yaojing for two days, and the sky was about to fall, but he still didn't feel any fatal threat from [Without a Colorful Phoenix].
never mind.
Lin Wen thought disappointedly.
Maybe this matter is too small, just a few ants died, and the empire doesn't care at all.
Lin Wen returned to the Yaojingdu Government Hall in a depressed mood and said goodbye to Changsheng.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Changsheng’s face was full of regret, and he tried his best to keep him.
Lin Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I..."
Chang Sheng quickly changed his tone: "The county is busy with affairs, County Chief Lin, please go back as soon as possible."
Lin Wen glanced at them with a hint of suspicion, but it no longer made sense for him to stay in Yaojing. The new covenant he had drawn up had become the golden rule.
Now, everyone doing business in Yaojing knows that abiding by the new covenant is their amulet.
The real demons and monsters either suffered heavy casualties or fled in all directions, so he couldn't gain much good karma.
"All right."
Lin Wen sighed and instructed, "Captain Chang, I don't want to say anything else. From now on, please protect the recruitment point set up by Changshan County. It is a benchmark, a ruler, and a mirror."
"If you smash the mirror, you won't know whether your order is good or bad."
Chang Sheng nodded carefully: "I understand, County Chief Lin, Yao Jing will always be your friend."
Lin Wen nodded: "Then I'll leave."
Changsheng actually felt a little reluctant.
Lin Wen had only been there for a few short days, but he gave them the feeling that the sky was clear and dust-free.
All the noise is gone, all the turbidity is cleared.
Yaojing is now like a clear pond, where they can raise and feed fish without worrying about any insects in the muddy water biting their fingers.
However, we have to send this killer away.
So many colleagues died in Yaojing, and they had done some of the same things as others.
When he was here, everyone was terrified, fearing that he would accidentally catch them and accuse them of crimes against humanity.
"What should we do now?"
After Lin Wen left, Liu Sheng asked with a sense of loss.
Chang Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Have the advertising department fully promote Yaojing and attribute all the previous mistakes and negative news to the sabotage of the Papal States' spies."
"Second, we must fully, openly, and thoroughly uncover all the dirty laundry of the spies, vigorously criticize them, and designate these activities as off-limits. Anyone who dares to touch them will be labeled a spy, their property confiscated, and their entire family exterminated."
"Third, we will allocate the largest office building in the city to Changshan County. We will erect large advertisements around it, fully and in detail introducing the recruitment policies and job opportunities offered by Changshan County. We will use our reputation to guarantee Changshan County."
A close confidant felt very uncomfortable and whispered, "Master Chang, this isn't a good idea. We can just mark out a corner for them."
"Right, right." Another confidant said, "We use Yaojing's reputation to promote Changshan County... What if those people flee to Changshan County?"
Chang Sheng sneered, "Look, look, they've already reverted to their old ways right after County Chief Lin left. If everyone's gone to Changshan County, it means that Yaojing isn't even as well-managed as a poor county. Then why would we want to become an international metropolis or a super first-tier city? Everyone, go home."
"I've been observing County Chief Lin's reforms these days, and I've come to the same conclusion: there's no good outcome if we eat all the food ourselves. We must distribute the benefits to the lower-level staff so that they will follow us."
A close confidant muttered quietly, "But we didn't get any share before, and we still did it, didn't we?"
"Idiot!" Chang Sheng shouted angrily. "That was the old system before. Now Yaojing is a new system, a rapidly developing new system... In the words of County Chief Lin, it's a civilized and advanced system, and it must use civilized and advanced methods!"
The henchman retorted, "Then why are we wasting so much time? All the money we earn goes to the untouchables."
The vein on Chang Sheng's forehead was clearly popping out. He pointed at his nose and cursed, "Have you fed your brain to a dog? Before, we could only make ten cakes and we took nine. Now we can make a hundred cakes and take fifty. Tell me, which one do you choose?"
The confidant shut his mouth and dared not speak, but there was no sign of submission in his eyes.
Chang Sheng was furious: "Tell me!"
The henchman whispered, "Chief Chang, if we choose the second one, won't the untouchables be on equal footing with us?"
Chang Sheng was shocked. He never expected that he would say such a thing. This was a blind spot in his thinking.
Suddenly, he realized why the policy had become like that in the past.
Fundamentally, these bureaucrats are unwilling to give a penny to the common people.
They have a superior mindset at heart and pursue violence and power to arbitrarily dominate others.
Ask yourself, do you have it?
Yes, but that's not all. It's not simply about using violence and power to make people submit. He wants others to admire, respect, and envy him, but not to fear, dread, or hate him.
what to do?
The first thought that popped into Changsheng's mind was to call County Mayor Lin.
But the chill that rose in his heart made him think that County Chief Lin had no solution.
However, the facts were unexpected.
Lin Wen wasn't surprised. He simply said, "Restrict them for a while. Once the rules are set, don't break them. When the Yaojing model truly takes off, capital will teach them the ways of life."
Chang Sheng was surprised and asked, "Is it that simple?"
Lin Wen smiled and said something he didn't quite understand: "When the bourgeoisie comes to power, all feudal, patriarchal, and idyllic relationships will be destroyed. Your feudal remnants will soon be drowned by the icy water of capital."
"……Oh well."
Chang Sheng reluctantly replied, "I will take care of those beasts. If I encounter any difficulties, I will still have to ask you for help, County Magistrate Lin."
"good."
"Then I wish you all the best."
The phone was hung up.
In the sky, an inconspicuous white cloud is drifting rapidly towards the west.
In the white clouds, Lin Wen put away his phone, lay on the cotton candy-like cloud, and continued to practice Taoism.
There is no way around it. [Soaring in the Clouds] is just a Jindan stage spell, and the white clouds it generates can only fly at the speed of sound.
It takes more than an hour to fly back to Shizhou from Yaojing.
Although [A World Away] can be reached instantly, it is twice as expensive as [Soaring in the Clouds].
It’s better to save some energy.
It's a good time to practice Taoism and cleanse the Taoist heart that has been covered in dust for days.
Lin Wen actually found a reward——
When the soul exceeds 360%, a new spell will appear to recover from the incomplete state.
But Lin Wen was not particularly happy, because the previous new spell had really screwed him over badly.
I wish this spell was a little more normal.
Lin Wen thought about it, and pondered all the means he had at hand, and found that he currently lacked a stronger self-defense spell.
Until now, Lin Wen is still not immune to armor-piercing bullets, let alone artillery shells.
Even with [The Phoenix] and [The Swiftness of the Spirit Cat], Lin Wen could only dodge the aiming of a dozen snipers. If there were more, he would definitely be hit.
The only spell that can save your life in a critical moment is [Mirror Flower and Water Moon].
It can make the main body invisible and summon seven shadows to rush in all directions. The main body in invisible state is immune to most damage, but only for ten seconds.
Lin Wen now particularly dislikes this kind of short-lasting spell. It is used up in a flash without any feeling at all.
It would be best if it could be a spell like [Strength of Nine Oxen and Two Tigers] or [Swiftness of the Clever Cat] that lasts for sixteen hours.
It would be perfect if we could add a protective spell similar to the Vajra Body.
After the cloud landed, Lin Wen quickly found Fang Dashan and others. After asking, he learned that they had not fought with the enemy until now.
Wherever they went, the enemy retreated.
Are you poisonous?
Lin Wen was furious.
Are all the people in the empire infected with the poison of being a turtle?
Or are you guys ganging up on me? Don't you want me to have a good reincarnation?
At this moment, Xiao Xiao called again, wailing, "Chief Lin! There's no food! There's no food! I have no food!"
Lin Wen said angrily: "You don't have a father yet, so speak to me properly."
Xiao Xiao said resentfully, "You forced me to sell 10 million tons a day. Now the whole empire knows there's such an ATM in Changshan County. The crowds of people are almost overwhelming this place. Your Tianmokeng toll booth has almost collected a million..."
"Okay, stop talking about useless things."
Xiao Xiao then turned the conversation around: "According to my Xiao Xiao Economics, 10 million must have a quarter of short-term support. In other words, we have 2.5 million tons of short-term cash in a day. Adding the previous maturity, the average is 3.5 million tons per day. It's an astronomical figure, County Chief Lin! An astronomical figure!"
Lin Wen said impatiently, "Just tell me when you can sell the six-month contract?"
Xiao Xiao: "Five days, just five days and I can build up the market's confidence."
"How much food is still missing?"
Xiao Xiao seemed to have calculated it long ago and immediately replied, "A total of 22 million tons."
"good."
Lin Wen hung up the phone and looked towards the hinterland of Xinyang Prefecture, where there were still a large number of grain depots.
"You forced me to do this."
——
Southwest District.
The Supreme Command Headquarters has not been calm in recent days.
Messengers and telegrams arrived every few hours.
"The Changshan County army is striking!"
"The Changshan County army is invading Xuyang County!"
"The Changshan County army has entered Longgu City!"
…
The generals from all over the country could no longer bear it and gathered in front of the commander-in-chief's office again.
"Commander, that's our hinterland!"
"Commander, my arsenal is in Xuyang County, and there's no time to move it!"
"Commander, Longgu City is our largest granary. They're transporting the grain, and they're using our trains!"
"Commander, I can't bear it anymore!"
Inside the office.
Xinyang Prefecture Governor Zhang Liyuan cried out in dismay, "Commander-in-Chief, how long are we going to retreat? That guy from Changshan Commandery is practically shitting on my face."
Xu Yongchang clenched his fists, also filled with anger: "Commander-in-chief, are we really going to let a small county show off its power over us?"
Even the prince remained silent.
Qin Gang looked at the map of Xinyang Prefecture. More than half of the area was marked in red. That was the area occupied by Changshan County.
"Why hasn't the Supreme Council taken action yet?"
Qin Gang was a little confused.
"Do you want to use him to attack us?"
"However, Changshan County's disobedience is a greater blow to the Supreme Council..."
Wang Zijun suddenly said, "Commander-in-Chief, do you think the Supreme Council will discover..."
"Impossible," Qin Gang flatly denied. "The dual R&D project plans are completely isolated, and all supporting facilities are independently developed. The special envoys from the highest military headquarters are stationed in the surface nuclear plant. Even the experts there believe they are the only team conducting nuclear weapons R&D."
Wang Zijun also thought it was impossible. When the Qin Group first started the "Uranium Plan", it built three nuclear plants, twelve nuclear laboratories, and six neutron reaction and nuclear weapon structure research institutes as research bases for nuclear engineering.
But behind the scenes, the Qin Group spent a huge amount of money to secretly build a second nuclear engineering research base in the name of supporting facilities.
All experts, researchers and staff are carefully selected secret personnel and strictly abide by the principle of top confidentiality.
Even Qin Xiao, the first heir of the Qin Group at the time, was unaware of this top-secret plan.
The number of senior executives in the entire group who were fully aware of this plan could be counted on one hand.
In order to make the fake come true, the watch project strictly complied with the required confidentiality level, and almost everyone regarded it as the only nuclear industry of the Qin Group.
It was not until the ninth year of the project that the Empire learned from some unknown channel that the uranium enrichment of the surface project had reached 60% enrichment.
Qin Gang was forced to hand over the research and development results of the watch project and connect it with the nuclear weapons program of the highest military department.
It was not until this time that Qin Gang just knew that the top military's nuclear weapons program was a mess.
They even wanted to use radium as a nuclear material.
According to Fermi's theory, at least uranium 235 or plutonium 239 is needed to make nuclear weapons.
Not even uranium-234, uranium-238 or plutonium-244 will do, and radium is far from the critical mass.
At that time, the Qin Group laughed at the highest military department and said that it was full of idiots.
Their surface engineering has reached 60%, and their inner engineering has reached 90%. This enrichment level is already weapons-grade uranium.
Once the structure is perfected, a true nuclear weapon will be completed.
The highest military headquarters is still greedily absorbing the research success of their watch engineering, and their disgusting appearance of getting something for nothing is disgusting to see.
Obviously, the Supreme Council could not possibly know their true progress, which was why Qin Gang truly tolerated Changshan County.
He wanted the Supreme Council to take action against Changshan County, and he himself would not be involved in any evil until the nuclear weapon was completed.
However, he found the Supreme Council's response difficult to understand.
Even if Lin Wen was the emperor's biological son, he would not have received such treatment.
Unless he is both the emperor's biological son and the biological son of the four elders.
Qin Gang shook his head slightly, throwing this ridiculous idea out of his mind.
"Maybe he's testing me."
Qin Gang thought.
"The Supreme Council may be skeptical and testing our tolerance limit."
Thinking of this, Qin Gang said, "Just bear with it."
"Commander!"
Prince Jun sighed and advised, "A little impatience can ruin a great plan. Everyone, let's put the overall situation first."
Zhang Liyuan and Xu Yongchang knew that the commander had made up his mind and could no longer persuade him, so they could only retreat sadly.
And the other side.
Lin Wen was extremely angry.
I have already taken down your largest granary and transported your food right under your noses. It's like an NTR on your face, and you haven't reacted yet?
[Without a phoenix] Like being dead, unable to move at all.
Are all the people in this fucking empire the reincarnations of turtle spirits?
Or is someone plotting against me and not wanting me to have a perfect reincarnation?
Lin Wen was furious.
Okay, just wait for me, one day I will let you play the flute outside the room.
Grass!
Inside the elders' compound.
The Great Elder Pingyuan asked, "What is the price of grain today?"
The Imperial Guardsman replied, "8919 yuan per ton."
"Has the impeachment of the grain group come yet?"
The Imperial Guardian replied, "Yes, today's ninety-one telegrams impeaching Lin Wen still include all members of the Grain Group."
The Great Elder Xing Ling said, "It seems like they were really hurt."
The Great Elder Pingyuan asked again, "How is the situation in Yaojing?"
The Imperial Garrison Commander replied, "Order has been quickly restored. Yaojing's advertising campaign has been very effective. According to Yaojing's Garrison Commander's observations, the flow of people in the market has recovered to 80%, and the number of people entering Yaojing from other places has returned to 50% of its peak. Almost no one is trying to resell the property anymore."
Bang!
The Great Elder Pingyuan threw Changshan County's chess piece into the trash can for the third time.
A larger bright red chess piece was replaced in its place.
"Are you qualified?" asked a great elder.
"have."
The Great Elder Ping Yuan moved the newly replaced chess piece forward a step and bumped into the group of chess pieces representing the Grain Group and the Qin Group.
Bang.
Several pawns fell before it.
The bright red chess piece crushed them like a bright red giant.
