In the simple houses, there was only a bed. Therefore, for every 25 houses, a public bathhouse, an open-air canteen, a health center, and five public restrooms were built.

The environment was not great, but there was running water and electricity, and everything was available. They could take a hot bath at any time, which was a luxury they couldn't afford in Yaojing.

The biggest factor that made all this possible in such a short time was money.

With endless funds and Zhao Minggong's ability, he could do anything.

The number of laborers who had arrived was close to 350,000. According to Qi Mu, some had returned to their posts due to improved conditions in Yaojing, but many insisted on leaving Yaojing. It was estimated that there were still about 100,000 to come.

In the past, the thought of 100,000 laborers would have given Zhao Minggong a headache.

But now, with a wave of his hand, Zhao Minggong sent the procurement list to the finance department. Old Xie had set up a procurement department for this purpose, filled with procurement fanatics.

With ample funds and rare large orders, suppliers who were suffering from a sluggish market rushed in. Old Xie didn't haggle too much over the price, he only had one requirement: no inferior products, including logistics, and they had to be as fast as possible.

For suppliers on the brink of bankruptcy, this requirement was not excessive. With such a reasonable and understanding client, they dared not slack off.

Thus, trucks, ships, and trains heading to Changshan County were endless. The usually deserted transport routes suddenly became bustling, and all kinds of materials were pouring into Changshan County like a tide.

The grand development plan of Changshan County had been fully launched.

In addition to clearing up flood disasters and reinforcing dams, Zhao Minggong had also launched the main road plan, the Huai Town infrastructure project, and the Huai Town expansion plan.

Once these three major plans were launched, the eastern half of Changshan County had turned into a huge construction site, and no matter how many laborers were sent in, it was never enough.

In addition to countless building materials, construction machinery and large equipment were also being transported into the county like crazy.

Zhao Minggong had never been so generous with his money. He had dreamed of being free from financial constraints for half his life, and it had finally come true at the end of his life.

He even had time every day to ponder what to buy.

Life couldn't be happier.

Li Xiaoli, who had been taking care of Zhao Minggong, was also full of smiles. She finally understood what it meant to be a cheerful girl. Every day, she could shout out the window without hindrance: "Good morning, world." or "Hello, sunrise."

Then she would keep smiling all day, greeting everyone she met as if something great was about to happen. Occasionally she would be down, but she would recover quickly.

She was like an angel, spreading happiness to everyone around her.

In his spare time, Zhao Minggong often taught her the principles of doing things. Although she learned slowly, she was always growing and was gradually able to handle her duties as the deputy director of the sheriff's office and the head of the secretariat.

The development trend of Changshan County had been firmly set on the fast track.

According to the estimates of the Changshan County Audit Bureau, the output value of Changshan County would increase by 19400% compared to the same period last year!

The flood not only did not bring losses to Changshan County, but it was like a rush of countless treasures.

In fact, they were not wrong.

But what the flood brought was a man.

His name was Lin Wen.

---

Shenjing Imperial City.

The Supreme Council.

In a small, dim room in the tower-shaped building that was still officially in a standstill, a meeting was coming to an end, and the last issue was about to be discussed.

"In addition to the above attacks, Changshan County has suffered from floods, and its output value this quarter will inevitably be dismal. This is a very good argument, enough to prove that the new sheriff is incompetent, ignorant of economics, incapable of governance, and has ascended to his position through conspiracy and flattery."

An official finished speaking and sat down.

Yu Zhongxian smiled satisfactorily: "Good, let's do it this way. The output value is the most important indicator in the eyes of the empire. This time the output value has suffered a huge loss. Let's see how that little beast can argue."

Although he was just an inconspicuous independent sheriff, it involved Yu Zhongxian's grudges and prestige.

If he, the Supreme Councilor, couldn't handle a small sheriff, where would his prestige and face be? How could he convince the public?

Therefore, the current government of Changshan County must be overthrown, and that little beast must die.

Although the Supreme Elders had issued a ban on overstepping authority, it did not prevent Yu Zhongxian from ordering his party to attack Changshan County in secret.

Without Sheng Huaixuan and the Imperial faction to stop him, that little beast might not even survive the first round of attacks, he might die in the first round.

Yu Zhongxian laughed darkly, drawing a bright red cross on Lin Wen's portrait.

It was a beautiful day.

The breeze was blowing.

Lin Wen was in a good mood, he had truly felt the power of Yosuga No Sora.Every three days, his good and evil karma would decrease by one point, which was equivalent to earning 99 points of good karma. What was even better was that this effect would strengthen with the state of his natural Dao.

The state of his natural Dao was related to his mood. As long as his emotions were naturally expressed, without anger, hatred, or resentment, and his mind was calm, his natural Dao would gradually strengthen.

When the state of his natural Dao reached its peak, the consumption of spells would be halved, and he could reduce one point of good and evil karma every day. Moreover, he could use good karma to cast spells again.

However, once he sacrificed good karma to cast spells, the state of his natural Dao would instantly plummet, and the use of good karma for spells would be immediately prohibited.

But having one chance to use good karma for spells was enough, it was like having an ace up his sleeve.

This was in line with his principle of not abusing good karma.

Therefore, in order to enhance the state of his natural Dao, Lin Wen was always gentle and pleasant to everyone during this period.

In the morning, Lin Wen uncovered a nest of illegal profiteers. They accepted a large number of medical commissions, tricking innocent people into taking untested drugs with very little money, causing at least two thousand people to have varying degrees of adverse reactions. There were more than seven hundred people who became blind, disabled, or incapacitated, and more than a hundred people died.

The entire gang consisted of 23 people, all of whom had their heads blown up by Lin Wen. All the unknown drugs and experimental data were burned clean by a fire. It was a pity that no money was found, there was no cash in the house, and the deposits had already been transferred.

But it didn't matter, Lin Wen was still in a good mood. The world had one less nest of demons, and his good karma had surged again.

10,000 good karma was within reach.

What would the third divine power be?

Lin Wen thought expectantly, what kind of three divine powers would be available for him to choose from?

It was really exciting.

Lin Wen loved multiple-choice questions the most.

He could always choose the most correct one.

He was not very good at multiple-choice questions, because he could not control himself to tick all the options.

Just as he was daydreaming, a crow in a grey robe and a large hat suddenly appeared beside him. He bowed slightly and said, "Master Lin, Miss Qin invites you over."

"Okay."

Lin Wen immediately got up and went. The security bureau was not far above the sheriff's office, just a few steps away.

When Lin Wen pushed open the door of the sheriff's office, he saw an ordinary girl sitting in the sheriff's big chair. The serious and cold office was particularly mismatched with her slender figure.

She raised her head, still with an ordinary appearance. This was her usual disguise, Qin Luoshuang rarely used her real face in public.

"The tax inspection team is coming soon."

Qin Luoshuang said seriously, a crow brought the letter from the inspection team. Lin Wen glanced at it roughly, the gist was: Due to Changshan County's lack of response to tax issues, Yan Gao, the director of the tax bureau of the imperial headquarters, ordered the formation of an inspection team to go to Changshan County to check the accounts.

"They will be here soon, the letter only arrived half a day in advance, obviously targeting us."

Lin Wen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've got this."

Qin Luoshuang nodded, suddenly, a machine on her desk made a ticking sound.

Lin Wen curiously asked, "What's this?"

Qin Luoshuang said, "Encrypted communication." She listened for a moment and then said, "Huang Ren has already made contact with the traffickers at the top, everything is going smoothly, we will soon find out the details of the top."

Lin Wen suddenly remembered the phone call he received in the middle of the night that day, and laughed, "Qin Luoshuang, so the harassing call that day was from you."

Qin Luoshuang frowned, "What harassing call?"

"The one with this ticking sound, it came in the middle of the night, three times, causing me to lose two minutes of sleep."

"No, that's not right!"

Qin Luoshuang looked at him seriously.

"Our contact phone is an internal phone, it's impossible for anyone to eavesdrop, I don't need to encrypt when I call you, you quickly repeat the sound you heard."

A few ticking sounds, normal people can't remember, but Lin Wen directly used the "Questioning the Heaven".

【What was the entire sound of the harassing call I heard that night?】

Consumption: 10% of the primordial spirit.

State of natural Dao: Earth Law.

Spell consumption reduced by 40%.

6% of the primordial spirit was poured into the spell, Lin Wen immediately heard the answer and repeated it.

After listening carefully, Qin Luoshuang was silent for a moment. She raised her head and looked at Lin Wen seriously, "This is a law cipher translation, if I remember correctly, its meaning is."

"There's a bomb in the inspection team."

Lin Wen was slightly surprised, "A bomb? Someone wants to blow me up."

"Not just that." Qin Luoshuang said, "He can also frame you, saying that you blew up the tax inspection team that came to check the accounts because you refused to pay taxes."

Lin Wen immediately understood the viciousness of this strategy. If the inspection team was really blown up on his territory, it would be like mud falling into his pants, even if it wasn't shit, it would still be shit."Is it Yu Zhongxian?"

"It can only be him."

"Then who told us this?"

Qin Luoshuang shook her head slightly, "I don't know, but it must be someone from within Yu Zhongxian's circle, and someone who can participate in decision-making."

Lin Wen laughed, "It seems I do have a bit of a king's aura, even people within the enemy's ranks are sending me information. Hmm, is this what they call 'no man is an island'?"

"What are you planning to do? Even though we know, it's still very dangerous. We don't know where the bomb is hidden. If we rush in, the mole within the inspection team will directly detonate the bomb."

Lin Wen smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have the omnipotent Dragon Group."

Qin Luoshuang didn't say anything more, but her expression was filled with curiosity and disbelief.

This was her domain. If it were a top figure from her family, it would be understandable. But this guy, who in her previous view was no different from a fool, could also establish a top-level spy organization. That was truly a wonder of the world.

About five hours later, the inspection team arrived.

Twenty-one people in total, riding in three special vehicles from the Tax Bureau, drove directly to the entrance of the county government office.

Although the special vehicles were pure white, their design clearly indicated that they were modified from armored vehicles. They not only had bulletproof glass at least 30 centimeters thick, but also had shooting holes on them.

A huge balance was printed on the body of the vehicle, under which was a key. A blue ribbon with stars connected them together.

This was the symbol of the Tax Bureau.

Obviously, these were not ordinary tax officials.
