Xia Xiaoxiang took a long time to say three words: "Is it true?"

Lin Wen impatiently said, "The principles I asked you to promote are all real."

She lowered her head, as if there were tears in her eyes.

But it wasn't a grievance, but a more profound emotion.

Lin Wen glanced at her, afraid she would get upset, and added, "Fairness is not about equality. Don't promote egalitarianism. It's poison. When organizing propaganda, remember to distinguish them."

Xia Xiaoxiang felt dizzy, but still nodded vigorously.

"Okay."

Lin Wen looked at the sun, it was getting late, and he still had a lot to do, so he quickly said:

"Finally, the goal of Changshan County is to build a modern society. Computers, internet, cars, airplanes, subways, floating cities, none of them can be missing. So far, Changshan County still doesn't have mobile communication. I thought this place was still in a primitive society."

"Alright, that's the spirit, goal, and principles. You have to use them for organizational work, as well as to train and develop grassroots cadres."

Then Lin Wen talked about a bunch of methods for training grassroots cadres, all of which were mature systems and methods proven by history.

The methods were advanced, but the content involved was very complicated, with so many details, strict logic, and precise control, that no one in the world could match it.

Xia Xiaoxiang was shocked by what Lin Wen said. All her experience and theories were nothing compared to this profound and complete system.

She tried her best to keep up with Lin Wen's pace, but could only hastily jot them down.

After Lin Wen finished, he said, "That's all. You'd better quickly train a few professional assistants to help you, or you won't be able to keep up."

Xia Xiaoxiang looked at the almost half-book thick manuscript, shocked, confused, overwhelmed, and doubting herself.

She wanted to agree with Lin Wen, but couldn't speak, and the world was spinning before her eyes.

With a loud bang, she fell off the chair.

Lin Wen was about to leave, but turned back and saw Xia Xiaoxiang lying on the ground. Her fiery spirit quickly dimmed.

No way?

Did she overwork herself to death?

Lin Wen quickly stepped back, pressed his finger to her forehead, and used a "Mango Pomelo Sago." This spell not only had a healing effect, but also long-term health benefits, which was very useful for people who worked day and night.

About 10 seconds later, Xia Xiaoxiang slowly woke up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Wen squatting beside her, pressing his finger to her forehead.

There were still double images in her eyes, and she felt a little dizzy, but she was recovering quickly.

"What... what happened? What are you doing?" she asked.

"You were a bit tired, so I gave you a Wash Marrow Pill. You won't faint again in the future," Lin Wen said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a sugar bean, which he directly stuffed into her mouth.

"What are you doing?" Xia Xiaoxiang was surprised and was about to spit it out, but Lin Wen handed her a cup of water. "Drink some water," he said, still pressing his finger to her forehead. This spell lasted for 159 seconds and had a great overall effect on improving a person's physical condition, as evidenced by Yang Shaohu's lively appearance.

Xia Xiaoxiang hesitated for a moment, realizing that the water was also poured by Lin Wen.

Looking at it this way, the cause and effect of the situation were already very clear.

During her brief time as a student in the Imperial Capital, as a famous love goddess and a queen of a thousand faces, she was no stranger to nightclubs. She knew all too well the methods of men with ill intentions. Putting drugs in drinks was the most common.

But this guy was the first to feed her drugs in person.

Xia Xiaoxiang took the cup and took a sip, swallowing the sweet medicine.

For the next two minutes, neither of them spoke. After 159 seconds, Lin Wen removed his finger and said, "I'm leaving. Remember what I said just now. You must do your job well."

Lin Wen was about to get up, but Xia Xiaoxiang grabbed his hand.

"Aren't you... waiting? Maybe my constitution is a bit special, and the medicine might..." Her voice grew quieter as she continued.

Lin Wen wasn't clueless. Seeing her flushed cheeks and affectionate expression, he knew what was going on.

"Maybe she's grateful for saving her life," Lin Wen thought.

"Her work is more important later. I can't be too straightforward."

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have dedicated my life to the great cause of liberating all of humanity. As long as there is still someone suffering in this world, I will never engage in romantic relationships."

"If you want to thank me, do your job well. That's the best way to repay me."

With that, Lin Wen pulled his hand away and left without looking back.

Xia Xiaoxiang slowly got up.

The noon sun had long since drowned out his figure, but she still looked in the direction he left.

She knew that for the first time, true love had arrived.

This was the best man in the world.

She thought, feeling a fluttering sensation in her heart for the first time.

I finally found it.

Qin.

This is your husband!

I choose you!

Lin Wen had a lot of things to do now. The situation in Changshan County was quite serious, and the reception of refugees was much slower than before.

The direct reason for this was that Changshan County couldn't buy supplies.

Lei Tiantong came to report to Lin Wen.

Due to Changshan County's super-large purchases, the tents in the Imperial Capital market were all sold out, not only raising prices but also causing dissatisfaction in the military.

There was a shortage of raw materials for military tent production, and the Logistics Department of the highest military department reported to the Imperial Capital.

Now, the Ministry of Commerce has ordered a ban on Changshan County's continued purchase of tents or tent fabric materials.

After that, the Council quickly gained the support of the military by claiming that Changshan County's large-scale food purchases could lead to a food crisis, which could then lead to a shortage of food for frontline soldiers. Now, the Ministry of Commerce has also ordered restrictions on Changshan County's food imports.

The same restrictions were placed on medicine and medical supplies.

Lin Wen frowned and asked, "How much inventory do we have?"Lei Tiantong replied, "We still have enough food and medicine, thanks to Elder Zhao's foresight; he stockpiled a lot. Shangxi Town is also continuously providing us with food after their bountiful harvest."

"But we've run out of tents, and we're rushing to make more. Yang Shaohu has thought of various methods, rallying everyone to sew together scraps of cloth and leather to make tents."

"We also have a small textile factory working at full capacity, but the output is very low."

Lin Wen nodded, "So, the main issue now is housing."

"Yes, Sheriff Lin."

Qin Luoshuang also came with Lei Tiantong, as she was responsible for external communications.

She informed Lin Wen, "Currently, all the major suppliers have stopped shipping to us, except for the Imperial Grain Merchant, which exports grain to us with restrictions. The private enterprise Tongchen Group from East Qin Prefecture sometimes sells us some canvas, and Yunzhou occasionally supports us with some materials, but the quantities are small. Other than that, there are only the smugglers, but they charge a high price."

"This matter concerns the imperial war; whether or not there is a council, our large-scale purchase of supplies will eventually be noticed, it's just a matter of time."

Lei Tiantong showed a rare expression of anger, unusual for someone known for his granite-like demeanor.

"Doesn't the empire realize we've taken in so many refugees? Do the higher-ups not care about their lives at all?"

Qin Luoshuang shook her head, speaking solemnly.

"Our level is too low; our information has to go through many layers before it can be presented at the highest council's table. If there's a problem at any point in the process, the elders won't know about our situation."

Qin Luoshuang left something unsaid; she believed that even if the highest council knew, nothing would change.

In their eyes, ensuring victory in the war was the most important thing.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Wen asked, "What do you think?"

Qin Luoshuang replied softly, "You won't agree with my view..."

"Speak."

"I think we should immediately stop taking in refugees."

"Alright."

Qin Luoshuang's expression changed slightly, "Lin Wen, you..."

But Lei Tiantong was anxious, "Sheriff Lin! The refugees outside..."

Lin Wen cut him off, "Be quiet, listen to me! Qin Luoshuang, pass down the order, announce the successful conclusion of the first phase of refugee work. Prepare for the second phase immediately! Resume taking in refugees after one day."

Qin Luoshuang then realized, "You mean, you want to take advantage of the three months of free labor as a pretext? But that's just Elder Zhao's excuse; their main responsibility in joining the Refugee Committee is the work concerning the refugees themselves."

Lin Wen said impatiently, "This is part of the plan, just execute it. Also, have the propaganda department do their job well, don't let rumors and gossip take advantage."

Hearing this, Lei Tiantong showed a relieved expression and promised, "Yes, Sheriff Lin."

Qin Luoshuang didn't speak; she silently went to carry out Lin Wen's orders.

She believed in Lin Wen.

As long as he wasn't foolishly smiling when he spoke.

After the two left, Lin Wen sat alone in his office, silently planning his path, clearing the dead leaves and pebbles from the road so that when he raised his head, he could stride forward without hesitation.

A few hours later, an unprecedentedly large golden number flashed before his eyes.

Saving lives and disaster relief, Good Karma +15011.

As expected!

Lin Wen clenched his fist.

My guess was right, Good Karma is tallied at the end of a phase!

The Fifth Divine Ability, here I come!

【Good Karma: 53710】

Golden light flooded Lin Wen's vision.

And on the other side, unseen by Lin Wen.

Against a backdrop of swirling black mist, in the upper left corner, a faint line of numbers.

【998/1000】
