The Imperial Capital, Shenjing.

The Emperor's Tower.

At the topmost level.

Sunlight streamed in through the window at a 35-degree angle.

Li Longxing's mood brightened, indicating that something good was about to happen today.

"Father."

Indeed, as he sat on the throne of the palace pondering over some issues, the voice of his beloved daughter echoed back.

"Linyue, you're back. Come to your father's arms."

The first princess, Li Linyue, seemed to ignore his words and smiled, "Uncle Sheng has agreed to the new plan."

"You've worked hard. Go take a bath and rest. Would you like the Emperor himself to help you scrub your back?"

Li Linyue's smile seemed to be a constant fixture on her beautiful face, unchanged. "The few dissenters in the Imperial Department have been swayed by me. We will soon have control over some of the central military districts."

"Oh my, are you hurt? Let your father check you."

Li Linyue's brows furrowed unconsciously, disrupting her perfect expression. She tried to discuss the matter seriously, but Li Longxing's increasingly absurd and perverse words were unbearable, causing her impeccable manners to falter.

After successfully driving the first princess away, Li Longxing changed into formal attire and attended the highest council meeting.

They were discussing national military affairs, the debate was intense, but Li Longxing just wanted to sleep.

After a while, the issue of jurisdiction came up.

As expected, that old man Yu Zhongxian had ill intentions. He proposed to directly revoke the jurisdiction of the interesting new sheriff of Changshan County.

Li Longxing didn't say a word and directly exercised his veto power.

Jurisdiction is seen as an extension of imperial power. The emperor has the power to veto its granting and revocation.

This was why Sheng Huaixuan was initially able to obtain such a special power. Other governors didn't have this ability.

The eight elders didn't speak on this issue, otherwise, they would be bitten by the mad dog-like Senate.

The nobles, elders, and pillars of the nation in there, although they have no real power, are highly respected. It's best not to touch this moldy head lightly.

Then there was the change in the signing authority of the jurisdiction.

Lin Wen's jurisdiction was strongly advocated by Sheng Huaixuan. If Lin Wen falls, it means that the jurisdiction was given to the wrong person. This carries a heavy joint responsibility, and the Supreme Council will have a lot of excuses to attack.

But after changing the grantee to the Imperial Headquarters, it became a jointly discussed grant. Even if something goes wrong, it's a case of the law not blaming the public.

Without this condition, their request for Changshan County to break away from the protection of East Qin Prefecture would be pure nonsense.

Then there was the issue of the administrative affiliation of Changshan County.

All parties have reached a consensus on this. Sheng Huaixuan has accepted it, and Yu Zhongxian has also accepted it. Both sides, based on their different interests, have surprisingly reached a common goal. It can only be said that the kid is too good at courting death.

But I like it.

Li Longxing has read the kid's actions more than a dozen times. The detailed report on the new sheriff of Changshan County submitted by the secret agents has become his favorite reading material in his spare time.

But that doesn't prevent him, as the first elder, from casting a vote of approval.

So, Changshan County, administratively independent, is no longer under the management of East Qin Prefecture.

As a rare independent county, its administrative management rights have been transferred to the Imperial Headquarters.

That is to say, from now on, every absurd thing that the new sheriff does will be judged by the Imperial Headquarters. Sheng Huaixuan can no longer cover up the sky with one hand, and unconditionally protect, favor, and support him.

He will face all the storms in the empire.

Good luck.

Next, Yu Zhongxian spread black material about Lin Wen at the highest elder meeting.

The dispute at the joint meeting continued.

In front of outsiders, the eight elders are one body, but as soon as they step into the upper echelons, they will know how serious the differences between the elders are.

About a minute later, the four great elders stopped this dispute.

"Since when has the highest elder meeting been discussing the issue of a sheriff?"

"Aren't you concerned about the people of the empire? Isn't it about reversing the decline of the empire?"

"Is a mere sheriff worth your time?"

"Just leave it to the Imperial Headquarters."

As the first elder, Li Longxing was in the same camp as the four great elders at this time. He immediately interjected: "No one in the highest elder meeting is allowed to interfere in this matter."

"The supreme power of the empire should not be wasted on petty matters."

"It is because the supreme power interferes arbitrarily in the lower levels of the empire that order is lost and the situation is chaotic!"

This perfect deep throat angle from His Majesty the Emperor stunned everyone. The four great elders immediately agreed: "I agree with the first elder's opinion!"

"This should become an iron law!"

"The empire cannot continue to be so chaotic!"

"Supreme power is not allowed to be abused, this is destroying the sanctity of the empire!"

As referees, the great elders do not participate in actual affairs, but they can create rules, interpret rules, restrict athletes, and even replace athletes.

Sitting in the corner listening, the first princess Li Linyue admired and was confused in her heart. She didn't understand why her wise and martial father always acted abnormally in front of her and never discussed with her the ways to restore the glory of the empire.

But at the highest elder meeting, even though he was already shackled, he was still able to launch a perfect attack in the gaps.

This is the one she has known since she was a child.

The supreme emperor.

Therefore, Li Linyue has always believed.

As long as her father can control the government.

The empire will be great again.

And she will become the regent queen of the next era of the empire, assisting her tiny brother to become the emperor of the empire and lead the empire to the pinnacle of glory.

So.

She thought secretly.

Must remove all obstacles to the expansion of imperial power.

When Lin Wen returned to Changshan County, his good karma had already broken through the 4000 mark.

Moreover, it was still rapidly growing, and the second divine power was just around the corner.

The joint meeting hastily dealt with some conflicts between the states and a few unlucky officials who had committed crimes on the second day, and then quickly announced the end.

Lin Wen didn't pay attention to the indifference of the officials of the governor's mansion. As soon as the meeting ended, he immediately returned to Changshan County.

Qi Mu stayed here to continue dealing with recruitment-related matters, and Tian Jiajia and other newly promoted staff were responsible for assisting him.

Before leaving, Lin Wen had already seen the overwhelming advertisements for Yaojing Spiritual Capital.

On the way back, there were large beautiful photos of Yaojing Spiritual Capital everywhere, with various beautiful night scenes and elegant and beautiful phrases, giving a sense of nobility above the atmosphere.

On the Internet, Yaojing Spiritual Capital took a step ahead of the world and started crazy marketing. Almost all websites received sponsorship fees from Mayor Changsheng, started crazy advertising, and the newly formed Internet Water Army was fully active, replying crazily to all posts according to Lin Wen's instructions.

"Yaojing Spiritual Capital is far superior to the Demon Capital, no explanation."

"If you don't go to the Spiritual Capital, you're not human."

"Yaojing is the number one capital in the world."

Various posts praising Yaojing Spiritual Capital sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain, all of them had extremely high popularity and were prominently displayed on all portal websites.

At the same time, Changsheng gritted his teeth and decided to take bigger steps, even if it hurt, he could just cut it off to cure it permanently.

So suddenly, all banks, investment banks, loan institutions, and credit institutions in Yaojing Spiritual Capital drastically lowered their thresholds. Loans that were hard to squeeze out before were now being thrown out like crazy. Even bank salesmen were begging you to take out loans, all interest rates were negotiable, as long as the loans were made.

So, overnight, it seemed as if everyone in Yaojing Spiritual Capital had become rich. Everyone was waving cash and buying things they couldn't afford before. The market demand was exceptionally prosperous, the economy quickly rebounded, and even became a rare bright spot in the gloomy situation of the empire in the near future.

Of course, Lin Wen didn't have a chance to see this scene of prosperity. He had already arrived in Changshan County and met the first batch of workers.

A total of 16,000 people, 7,000 people who came by land arrived first, and 9,000 people who came by water arrived a day later.

Zhao Minggong established a new Changshan County Labor Department, which was responsible for maintaining contact with the recruitment points in the Spiritual Capital, monitoring the transportation of workers in real time, and taking care of their reception and placement.

Each arriving worker was given two sets of standard work clothes, two bars of fragrant soap, a soft towel, enough toiletries and labor protection supplies.

They were then given a physical examination, sulfur disinfection, and a group bath, after which they officially entered the Labor Department and became workers employed by the Changshan County Government.

The salary was 800 per month, with 5 days off per month, which could be arranged at will and accumulated. Overtime was paid, and food and accommodation were included.

Of course, according to the average wage published by the Imperial Academy of Social Sciences, workers in the empire should have 2333 per month, 8 days off, and all kinds of benefits. The wage treatment in Changshan County was far below this condition.

But for the workers who came here, their income was already much higher than what they earned when they were working in the Spiritual Capital. Their average income was 500, the highest was 1000, but it didn't include food and accommodation, and they couldn't save 300 a month.

Those with an income of 500 were even worse off. They lived next to the gutter sewage, were not full or warm, and were beaten and scolded while working hard.

Food and accommodation included, 800, was their biggest wish, they didn't care about anything else.

This batch of arrivals were all young and healthy males, settled in Qingze Township, six kilometers away from Huai Town.

Qingze Township had been abandoned for many years and there were almost no habitable houses. Zhao Minggong directly spent money to buy a large number of detachable temporary work sheds as temporary residences on the construction site and placed them here.

A work shed could accommodate ten people, and Zhao Minggong bought 5000 in one go. Along with the cost of various labor protection supplies and living materials, nearly 50 million had been spent before the work even started.

Fortunately, Changshan County now had money, but if they continued to spend like this, they wouldn't be able to support it for long, let alone the biggest expense - wages.
