Arriving at the Winter Palace.

Due to the current special situation, Yu Zhongxian issued an order to all departments of the council to shrink all activities and act cautiously, and cleared out the remnants left in Zhongzhou.

After that, he established a secret communication link through a private communication satellite.

"Hello."

A cold voice came through the communication channel.

Although somewhat distorted, it was still recognizable as the voice of Mo Zhai, the chief priest of the Papal States.

Yu Zhongxian said, "I can agree to your request. One hundred giant squads, fully equipped, including exclusive satellites, this is the sincerity expressed by Elder Mo and Elder Lin."

"Thank you," he replied coldly.

"Regarding the military supplies, I want ten times the price."

Mo Zhai was not surprised at all, as if he had known it long ago: "Fine, but you are responsible for transportation, and also send a hundred tons of food to each Zhongzhou stronghold."

"Okay."

Mo Zhai closed the communication.

The satellite link only transmitted a buzzing white noise.

Yu Zhongxian turned around and slightly bowed to the people behind him.

"Elder Mo, Elder Lin, the deal is done, a total of three hundred tons of gold, they will deliver it soon."

A burly man with a heavy nasal voice said, "Very good, in today's world, gold is the hard currency. It's no wonder that everyone is willing to do business with the Papal States using gold."

On the other side, a thin old man said coldly:

"The Zhongzhou plan is on the verge of failure. His Majesty's control is gradually strengthening, and I cannot be too reckless. The First Office cannot block Zhongzhou's information for too long, and the highest military department will soon convey the correct instructions to Wang Bo'an."

"The Papal States only have twelve strongholds in Zhongzhou. Even if they obtain the city's military supplies and food, they can't support it for more than a few months."

Yu Zhongxian smiled, "It's okay, although we lost a Deep Sea, we also made a big profit. With money, everything is negotiable. Wang Bo'an won't be smug for long."

Elder Moxili said with some regret, "It's a pity that the Delight Castle was destroyed, losing a top biochemical base. Otherwise, we could have produced more giants."

Elder Lin Yabo said lightly, "I remember you also have a Dr. Ken who was expelled, also a talented person. Since Dr. Li has died, let him come back and invest in his research."

Elder Moxili's layers of fat on his face spread out, revealing a greasy smile:

"Elder Lin is right, I have already sent someone to find him. His theory is very innovative, and his insects are very cute, just a little flaw, maybe with research, a way to make up for it can be found."

Yu Zhongxian smiled and said, "I am looking forward to it. The giant order has already made us a big profit, and now there are many parties contacting us. As long as the next batch is produced, it will be hundreds of billions in trade volume."

Elder Lin Yabo nodded, "I will intercept more military supplies as much as possible. Military trade is extremely profitable now."

Elder Moxili smiled, "Mastering the economy means mastering power, and mastering power means mastering the economy. Humans are truly wonderful creatures."

Elder Lin Yabo said lightly, "This is the best time. Soon, our organization will grow and develop in the shadows, completing the control of this empire."

"Our will, will be the will of the empire."

The three of them looked at the magnificent map of the empire on the wall and laughed together.

After the two elders left, Yu Zhongxian's face darkened, and he called in the chief priest Delo, Left Hand Wang Xinwei, and Liu Aimin and other confidants.

Wang Xinwei first reported the results of the negotiations with the Qin Clan group.

The Qin Clan group refused to cooperate and strengthened their resistance. They had a whole set of procedures to deal with special operations units, and recent battles had turned unfavorable.

The discussion on dealing with the Qin Clan group lasted a long time.

Then it was Zhongzhou's turn.

This time, they quickly formulated a new plan.

Heavily bribing the seven military heads under Wang Bo'an, making them execute wrong strategies for various reasons.

Bribing the logistics personnel in Wang Bo'an's mansion to tamper with food, military supplies, and ammunition.

Corrupting the officials of the Governor's Office, making them neglect their duties, causing internal chaos and administrative inefficiency in Zhongzhou.

The most crucial point was to corrupt the personnel responsible for supervisory discipline, as long as the supervisors were corrupted, corruption and bribery would flourish like mushrooms, and Zhongzhou would become even more chaotic.

The council had proven through years of practice that no cadre could withstand the test.

If there were occasional ones who could withstand it, it was because the test was not big enough.

Finally, the council would use various troublesome but necessary affairs to tie down Wang Bo'an, making him too busy to attend to the rear.

After that, it was about Changshan County.

Wang Xinwei reported that satellite images showed that Changshan County had set up nearly a million tents in the eastern part to accommodate several million refugees, without any signs of massacre.

Yu Zhongxian said coldly, "Perhaps he wants to show that he saved millions of people, in order to gain great benefits. Such arrogance will make him guilty of greed."

He ordered Wang Xinwei to restrict Changshan County's purchase of food, tents, and medical supplies on the grounds of war demand.

At the same time, control public opinion, create negative news about Changshan County, spread rumors, incite public anger, create an illusion of boiling public grievances, and force Changshan County to lift restrictions and allow journalists to interview.

Yu Zhongxian then asked, "Have the sources of funds for Changshan County been investigated?"

Wang Xinwei replied, "I have investigated it. Their main income comes from the flying sword workshop at the Changshan Steel Plant, which can produce top-notch blades, with a monthly profit of 20-30 billion."

Yu Zhongxian said, "Cut off their supply of raw materials, launch an anti-monopoly investigation, and find a way to force them to hand over the production formula."

After that, they applied the corruption plan for Zhongzhou to Changshan County, but mainly corrupted the officials managing the refugee camps.

As long as a large number of refugees died, the council would have an excellent excuse.

After that, Yu Zhongxian ordered Chief Priest Delo to command the Third Life Sacrificial Priest Group to find and eliminate Changshan County's special operations forces.

But Yu Zhongxian always suspected that this special operations force was borrowed and did not belong to Changshan County itself, so he added another command."If you can't find it, then carry out a terror attack on the capital of Changshan County or the refugee camp."

Before the meeting dispersed, Yu Zhongxian issued the final order.

"Be sure to control the media and public opinion. His Majesty intends to reorganize the news industry order and wants to understand the so-called public opinion through the news. Therefore, mainstream media that we cannot influence must not exist."

Southwest Military Region.

In a secret base in the mountains.

Qin Gang looked at the huge centrifuge that had just stopped in front of him, and behind him were his cheering subordinates.

Several scientists in white coats ran over with joy on their faces.

"Commander Qin! The data shows that our method is very effective! It even exceeds our original expectations."

"We have finally found the correct centrifugation method for Uranium-235!"

"The latest theory indicates that the abundance of Uranium-235 must be increased to 90% in order to produce a nuclear bomb."

"The previous impact theory, Uranium-238 theory, Plutonium theory, and the theory of useless decisive weapons are all fallacies!"

"The power that was once thought to be unattainable by humans is finally going to appear in our hands."

Loud cheers erupted.

The scientists and subordinates formed a sea of jubilation.

But Qin Gang remained silent. He looked up at the huge centrifuge, thinking to himself.

There is nothing to stop my footsteps now.

Imperial Marshal Qin Gang.

You will eventually be invincible.

Changshan County.

Lin Wen once again immersed himself in the busy and tense work.

Currently, Changshan County has received more than 2.7 million refugees.

And the situation in the Central State did not stabilize with Wang Bo'an's victory. Instead, due to the opening of some routes, many refugees stranded in the wilderness rushed to the rear of the Central State.

Most of these refugees have witnessed the brutal massacres of the Papal States in the occupied areas, and many are survivors of the slaughter.

Fear made them eager to get away from the war-torn areas and seek refuge in a safe area.

However, all states except the Central State prohibit the entry of refugees, and East Qin Prefecture only allows ten thousand people to enter each day.

And the Central State is still at war. It is said that Governor Wang's siege of the city was unsuccessful, and the other side somehow brought out many heavy artillery and powerful machine guns, causing heavy losses to the government army.

The besieged enemies in various places have shown a tendency to become restless again. Bandits have risen up in various places in the Central State, and Wang Bo'an, due to insufficient military strength, can only protect the major cities.

But overall, the situation is much better than before. The enemy is besieged in twelve strongholds and can no longer cause trouble.

The governors of the nearby three states hurried over to pick the fruits of victory, and Wang Bo'an didn't care.

As long as more Imperial civilians can be protected, what's the harm in these achievements?

The army of the three states can just make up for the insufficient military strength in the Central State, allowing him to allocate some forces to rescue the refugees stranded in the wilderness of Zezhou and the northern mountains of the Central State.

And the only destination for these refugees is Changshan County.

Although it is very poor there, Changshan County has a natural sense of security. It is surrounded by mountains, with impassable roads in the western mountainous area, and only one cliff road leading to the outside in the east.

Most importantly, Changshan County is the only area that has accepted a large number of refugees.

Many refugees couldn't wait for the arrangements in Changshan County and rushed through the Cold Valley Pass and the county road to Changshan County.

This influx of refugees has brought many troubles to their resettlement work, and Changshan County is currently facing many difficulties, and the resettlement work is not as smooth as it was in the early stages.

The sudden influx of refugees disrupted their plans and rhythm, causing a certain amount of chaos. Yang Shaohu had to use the army to maintain order.

But this caused panic. There were rumors that the refugee camp in Changshan County was full and would soon stop accepting people.

The panicked refugees were unwilling to stay in Qingcheng without any supplies. Under the instigation of some public opinion leaders who suddenly emerged from nowhere, the surging tide of refugees clashed with the army, causing great chaos and casualties.

Negligence causes trouble, Evil Karma +77

Lin Wen's face was twisted with anger.

Just as he said he wanted to find a way to clear the evil karma, another big pile of evil karma was slapped in his face.

Yang Shaohu felt guilty. This was his lack of experience that caused the problem, but fortunately, Wolong immediately took over the matter. Zhao Minggong understood human nature deeply. He immediately sent people to preach that those who wanted to take refuge in Changshan County needed to work for the county for three months without pay.

Then, many recruitment offices were set up in Qingcheng, asking them to come and register for their work types, saying that work would be assigned uniformly.

The refugees immediately believed it. Exchange of benefits is the most reassuring way. Doing good unconditionally always leaves room for conspiracy theories. When there are too many rumors, people tend to believe them unconsciously.

As soon as the idea of working for free came out, the rumors quickly lost their market, and the conspiracy theories about Changshan County were debunked.

A statement like "Changshan County wants us to work for them, what are they trying to do to us?" left the rumor mongers speechless.

Zhao Minggong paid special attention to propaganda work, and the propaganda department did not dare to play tricks under his command, obediently following his pace to publicize the policies of Changshan County.

Once the policy is implemented, it must be fair, open, and just, without any hidden clauses or special treatment, otherwise the government will lose credibility and nothing will be done.

Therefore, this policy was explained both internally and externally. Yang Shaohu initially had some concerns that there would be dissenting voices internally, but he did not expect that the refugees in Changshan County had no resistance at all.

According to them, working for free for a year is fine!

Some even shouted that they would work for ten years, or even a lifetime.

The work of the Changshan County Refugee Management Committee is actually the resettlement work for refugees.

Internal order management in the refugee camp, hygiene work, distribution of food and daily necessities, helping refugees in need, taking care of sick refugees, and so on.

In fact, it is equivalent to a mutual aid association for refugees.

Helping oneself, can it be considered working for others?

This is working for oneself!

The atmosphere in the Changshan County refugee camp is extremely good. During this time, the Refugee Management Committee has produced many outstanding cadres who are enthusiastic, energetic, particularly understanding, good at organizing work, and adept at soothing people's hearts and resolving conflicts.Inside the Refugee Management Committee, it is precisely because of the existence of such a group of people that things are getting better and better. A refugee camp of millions is well-organized and orderly, without overburdening the administrative power of Changshan County too much.

Of course, this is also due to the excellent organizational structure of the committee, capable of handling so many people without becoming bloated and sluggish.

The experienced Xia Xiaoxiang has played a very important role in this.

Lin Wen had already learned of this matter and planned to recruit them as grassroots cadres for Changshan County.

In this morning's Q&A session, he was told with the minimal expenditure of the "Immortal's Guidance."

What he needs most now are: down-to-earth grassroots workers, outstanding political officers, and military leaders with loyalty, ability, and quality.

Only then did Lin Wen recall the history he had studied.

It turns out the answer had always been in his mind; the "Immortal's Guidance" merely helped him retrieve the memory.

Lin Wen knows that excellent grassroots cadres are the cornerstone of everything, the lifeblood of the organization.

It seems that cadre training also needs to be planned.

Should the program and spirit documents of Changshan County also be established?

Direct revolution is not feasible; it must wait until after his death.

Lin Wen knows he is not the material of a revolutionary leader; if he rashly raises the banner, who knows how many people would die in vain.

Lest he earns few good karmas and is overwhelmed by bad ones instead.

The warning of "No colorful phoenix in body" has clearly told him the consequences, so he will only act as a spiritual leader, to be hung on the flag after his death.

The Min Party is the spark he leaves behind, and Yun Qingshui is the fuse of that spark.

She is still struggling through "Das Kapital"; the fuse is not yet mature enough.

When necessary, Lin Wen will help her, hasten her maturity, and ensure she can ignite the Min Party's spark after his death.

After careful consideration, Lin Wen decided that the current program for Changshan County is:

To achieve the four modernizations of Changshan County, two goals, three basic principles, four confidences, adhere to the development path with Changshan County's characteristics, hard struggle, mass engagement, serving the people as one's duty, and comprehensively building a moderately prosperous society.
