Chapter 22 I'll give it to you (Please recommend and collect)
I walked into the conference room and found that the lights were still on.
Lin Wen quietly took a look through the crack in the door and found that Zhao Minggong was sitting below, surrounded by many people, including a large number of County Government Office staff, soldiers on guard, and security guards from the Security Department who had no presence last night.
They seemed to have been working all night long, and the conference room seemed to have turned into an office.
Just as Lin Wen was peeping, Shanyuan popped up again, and a cheer rang out in the meeting hall: "That's great, Deputy Chief Zhao, now I don't have to worry about the food problem in Donghe Town. You are a genius, and the county magistrate really has a good eye for heroes!"
Lin Wen was filled with relief. Yesterday's decision had indeed been the right one. Although the amount of good karma he'd gain from handling the situation himself was less, if he'd gone it alone, who knows how much good karma he'd have to spend to solve the problem. And it wouldn't be as profitable as it was now.
Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Hey, where's Fengchu?"
Only Wolong was working hard at the scene, but Fengchu was nowhere to be seen.
This won’t do. What if Wolong dies again at Wuzhangyuan due to overwork? Wouldn’t that be like cutting off an arm?
After calling the staff over to ask, we found out that Feng Chu had said a few hours ago that girls should not stay up too late and went back to rest.
Is this okay?
What happened to the sun and the moon competing for glory?
Lin Wen immediately ordered someone to bring Feng Chu over, and at the same time called the head of the personnel department, asking him to immediately finalize the files, positions, powers and remuneration of the new deputy county magistrate and assistant deputy county magistrate.
Originally, he was planning to block Feng Chu here and give him a profound ideological transformation, but when he saw that there were only a few minutes left for Qiqiao Linglongxin, he gave up the idea. There would be plenty of time later anyway.
As soon as these trivial matters were over, Lin Wen immediately turned around and started to do his business.
He will conduct a comprehensive investigation of post-disaster reconstruction site selection and planning options.
This is the most important thing for him at the moment, and it is related to hundreds and thousands of good relationships he has.
Lin Wen recently came to a profound understanding of an important truth: the more he knew, the more difficult the problem would be, and the consumption of [Immortal Guidance] would be greatly reduced.
The way this spell works seems to be based on himself, getting the answer in some mysterious way, not that there is really an immortal behind him guiding him.
Otherwise, Lin Wen would definitely pull him out and beat him up in the future to settle the score.
Therefore, in order to better execute the complete plan in the future and gain more good karma, he needs to know more detailed information now, otherwise he will not be able to bear the consumption of [Immortal Guidance].
Because of this, he had to preserve his spiritual power as much as possible and not use magic if possible.
These are all pure good karma.
Lin Wen is a real man of action. He does what he says and does it immediately. Without notifying anyone, he got on a special car and headed straight to the temporary resettlement site for disaster victims in Changle Town and Niujiao Village.
The Civil Affairs Department is currently in charge of post-disaster work. Director Huang Mingxiao was one of the very few officials who did not attend the meeting yesterday. Their office is located in Changle Town.
Changle Town is a little far from Huai Town, and the road is not easy to travel, but the special car driver has been driving here for 20 years and is already very familiar with it. He still took Lin Wen to his destination within an hour.
Changle Town was not affected by the disaster and there were not many changes. Most of the people in the town knew Lin Wen and greeted him warmly, asking him where he had been during this period. They did not know that Lin Wen had been promoted to county governor.
Xiao Li rushed out of the mayor's office and burst into tears the moment he saw Lin Wen.
"Wow, Mayor Lin, where have you been? I haven't seen you for so long I thought you died on the levee, but they all said you weren't dead and had become a hero of the empire. Wow, wow, wow, I thought they were lying to me. How could a hero of the empire not die? You've been away for so many days, I missed you so much..."
As he cried all the way, Lin Wen also learned about the recent situation in Changle Town. The overall situation was: "An unwanted child."
The mayor disappeared and no one came to hand over the work, and there was no notification phone call. There was only one senior clerk, Xiao Lin, in the entire town, and even the twelve staff members had been transferred away.
Changle Town is like an isolated island. After losing its mayor, its connection with the outside world has become increasingly weak.
If it weren't for the arrival of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xiao Li would have thought they were abandoned by the world.
But the Civil Affairs Department did not pay much attention to them and simply occupied a large compound at the west end of the town as a temporary command center for post-disaster reconstruction.
Most of the victims were resettled in the hills to the north, and only the injured and sick were temporarily resettled in Changle Town.
They don't want to live in low places.
Changpai Village and Niujiao Village on the hill both accommodated disaster victims, especially Changpai Village. The Changpai Village embankment nearby has been deified.
Legend has it that it was the gods who appeared on earth to protect all living beings and thus stopped the flood. The dike was the place where the gods appeared, and the people guarding the dike were the incarnations of the gods, who came down to earth to save people on the night of the flood.
Because Lin Wen's behavior was extremely special and had a legendary nature, various related mythological stories became extremely popular among the victims, with various versions existing.
In order to stabilize people's hearts, the authorities did not clarify the truth, but instead secretly fanned the flames. Now, the Changpai Village levee has been regarded as a place to worship gods and a temple where miracles appear. Every day, countless people go to the levee to worship and make wishes.
The person guarding the dike became the real person Hunyuan Poguang, who was of unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, compassion and mercy, and saved people from suffering. With his compassionate heart, he came down to earth in the form of an immortal to protect thousands of people.
A monument was erected specifically for him on the dike. It was a large bluestone that Lin Wen had moved from a nearby mountain to block the breach, but it was suddenly abruptly halted by the flood and was of no use.
There was a skilled engraver among the people who carved this bluestone into a stele. On the left was engraved "unparalleled benevolence and righteousness", on the right was engraved "great compassion and great mercy", and above his head was "saving the suffering and the distressed". In the middle was the immortal's name in the secular world: Hunyuan Poguang.
It has to be said that the sculptor's technique is extremely superb, and the shape of the bluestone itself is very suitable. The carved stele is natural and restrained, as if it were made by nature.
Then there was a rumor that this was the bluestone used by gods to repair the sky, and it was placed on the dike to suppress floods and ensure peace forever.
This time, the existence of immortals was completely confirmed, and the bluestone stele became a thing of the gods. There was an endless stream of incense burning and people flocking to it every day.
Despite being separated from the surging river by a wall, many people would rather sleep under the levee and lie on the open space than live in the low-lying Changle Town.
The flood that night was like a devil, causing great trauma to them psychologically.
They only feel safe when they are near the levee guarded by immortals and divine creatures. Outside the levee, they can only find shelter in high places.
The levee is full of people sleeping every day, even though they are facing the river and have to sleep in the open air.
Many people say that sleeping on the levee brings peace of mind, blessings from the gods, and safety and happiness. However, some people even fight because they cannot get space on the levee.
This brought many difficulties to the work of the Civil Affairs Department. They had to arrange people to guard the levee to maintain order and prevent too many people from sleeping on the levee and causing danger.
The layout of the temporary resettlement sites has therefore been adjusted many times, and finally had to be arranged horizontally on the hill between the Changpai Village Levee and Changle Town, with the Changpai Village Levee as the first.
The transportation of supplies has also become difficult, but the biggest difficulty now is not the transportation problem, but the shortage problem.
About a week ago, no new supplies were delivered from the empire, and the engineering team withdrew. Now the temporary resettlement site is facing the problem of running out of food, medicine, clean water, and disinfection and epidemic prevention supplies.
Although Xiao Li was crying the whole time, he explained the matter clearly, with clear logic and organization, and he also understood the specific reasons very clearly.
So when Lin Wen walked to the temporary command department of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he said.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Li. You will be the mayor of Changle Town from now on."
After saying that, he pushed open the door of the command center.
