Lin Wen has always had two plans, the "Over-limit Growth Plan" and the "Perfect Reincarnation Plan."

These two plans are the core support for him, equivalent to the two legs he walks on.

But for a long time, one of them has been crippled.

Due to the existence of a huge evil fate, Lin Wen cannot carry out reincarnation. Even if he encounters an opportunity, he can only helplessly give up.

And now, after walking with a limp for so long, will he finally have a chance to recover?

Lin Wen immediately pierced the water droplet and used this operation.

"Sky Demon Disintegration" turned into a black light, hovering over Yosuga No Sora as Lin Wen's gaze fell upon it.

The magical powers were decomposed into two items:

One is the natural way of Taoism, which reduces spell consumption.

The other is the only emptiness of fate, which simultaneously reduces good and bad fate.

Lin Wen focused on the "only emptiness of fate," and the black light immediately flew into it.

Soon, the three characters of "Yosuga No Sora" became filled with black mist, covered with black lightning, resembling an evil fate magical power, which stood out among the glittering good fate magical powers.

The explanation of the magical powers also changed.

【Yosuga No Sora】(Sky Demon State): Rapidly reduce good fate, rapidly reduce bad fate, no longer reduce spell consumption.

The cost is a bit high. Lin Wen thought.

No longer reducing spell consumption means that he is casting spells twice as much, which means he is losing blood.

To avoid blood loss, he can only lie down and not use spells.

So, Lin Wen decided to seclude himself for seven days, ignoring worldly affairs, focusing on cultivating immortality for seven days, and accumulating seven days of primordial spirit.

Thus, Changshan County ushered in the first seven days without Sheriff Lin's presence.

But, it seems, nothing has changed.

Everything is as usual, in good order and progressing step by step.

All enterprises, factories, and departments are operating normally. Although the county government is busy, there is no chaos.

Zhao Minggong's physical condition is now good. Although he still needs to stay in bed and receive special treatment, he can work six hours a day, greatly relieving the pressure on Yang Shaohu, ensuring that the most burdensome administrative system does not encounter problems.

Qin Luoshuang has called back a large number of old subordinates and has begun to recruit and train new personnel. Her Sheriff's Guard has rapidly expanded to more than eight thousand people. The KGB's special agents have completed the protection of the entire Changshan County and have even dispatched a large number of intelligence personnel to collect information and gather intelligence outside the county.

The Su Fan Committee has taken on the role of the Discipline Inspection Commission, closely supervising the nearly sixty thousand regular government employees in Changshan County, as well as the total of over 400,000 employees in the county's enterprises (most of whom are from the Tianjiang Fisheries Company and the Changshan County Social Food Factory).

Chen Xingtai is organizing manpower to cultivate the land with all his might, while also recruiting a large number of people from outside the county and providing full support to civil organizations in various places.

Yang Shaohu and Huang Mingxiao are responsible for an extremely large number of refugee affairs. The Refugee Management Committee has become the largest organization in the empire.

No one can imagine that in this remote border area of Changshan County, such a huge organization could emerge. The power they have unleashed is even more unimaginable.

Yang Shaohu, Huang Mingxiao, and the millions of refugees under the Refugee Management Committee have made tremendous efforts, using human labor to forcibly clear millions of tons of rock from the mountain building complex.

Now, there are thirty buildings in the mountain building complex, a huge central square, all of which have been transformed into habitable conditions.

In order to accommodate more refugees, Yang Shaohu came up with the "double sleep method": one group sleeps during the day, and the other group sleeps at night. In this way, the number of people accommodated in a room is doubled.

With this method, Yang Shaohu has managed to cram in over 4.5 million people, with almost every square meter housing one person. If measured by population density, this place has reached the sky.

The extremely high population density brings extremely high management difficulties, but Yang Shaohu has managed to take it on with his strong abilities. Not only has he maintained order in this superstructure, but he has also made life better day by day. The cave-like building is becoming more and more like a normal home.

With the joint efforts of Yang Shaohu and Huang Mingxiao, the refugee camp in Qingcheng has finally disappeared, and all the refugees have been integrated into Changshan County.

Now, there are only scattered refugees outside, and they are coming to Changshan County one after another, but the number is already very small.

Thus, the refugee reception project has been a great success, but the more arduous task begins.

The total number of refugees in Changshan County is close to 8 million. In addition to the huge management pressure, the surge in numbers has once again widened the food gap.

So, how to get through this day is the real test.

Yang Shaohu and Huang Mingxiao are preparing nervously.

The matter of Changshan County receiving so many refugees did not spread widely. Apart from the Central Plains and the Council, few people knew about it.

The Council deliberately blocked the news, pretending that those refugees had disappeared out of thin air. In addition to attacking the Central Plains in the newspapers, they also subtly accused Changshan County of monopolizing high-tech knives and disregarding the overall situation of the empire.There are also many unofficial tabloids that are smearing Changshan County everywhere. In addition, Changshan County refused all interviews with reporters, and the reporters who sneaked in were all caught by the KGB, resulting in no positive news about Changshan County in the entire empire.

The Council of Review has two purposes in doing so. One is to isolate Changshan County politically, and the other is to force Changshan County to hand over the production formula for the knives.

Currently, all the coking coal used for smelting in the Changshan Iron and Steel Plant cannot be purchased within the empire. The Qin Group has blocked most of the channels, and the Council of Review has completed the blockade of the last private channel.

All the coking coal needed by the steel plant is now purchased from overseas by Qin Luoshuang. Due to her unique identity in the past, she has many channels. Although she is no longer the young lady of the Qin Group, most of the channels themselves are neutral and do not only serve the Qin Group. As long as the money is enough, they will do any business.

However, due to the long journey, the Council of Review specifically checked these foreign cargo ships heading to Changshan County and collected various fees from them, resulting in the price of coking coal sent from overseas to triple.

The rare earth elements needed by the Flying Sword Workshop have also been cut off, which is something that is difficult to buy overseas. Fortunately, Lin Wen had the foresight to build a rare earth factory on the rare earth mine in Changshan County.

Changshan County itself also has iron ore, so although the cost of raw materials has increased slightly, the production of the Changshan Iron and Steel Plant has not been affected at all, and the decrease in profits is minimal.

Even because of the self-production of rare earths, it has even increased a lot.

The Council of Review is considering prohibiting foreign cargo ships from entering, but this involves diplomacy and may cause protests from foreign consulates, so they have been hesitant.

Recently, the Bureau of Foreign Affairs led by Qin Luoshuang has recruited many talented people. In addition to some old cadres of the Song of the Sky, there are also a large number of international affairs and international relations graduates who have just graduated from the Central Academy in the imperial capital.

These people are not just bookworms. Those who can enter the Central Academy in the imperial capital and graduate from the major of international affairs and international relations are all experienced in actual combat and have a good understanding of the political situation at home and abroad.

The reason why Qin Luoshuang was able to recruit so many outstanding talents and make them give up the comfortable environment to come to Changshan County was an idea given to her by Xia Xiaoxiang.

Among them, the three main elements are: there are many beautiful women here, there is a super goddess boss, and the treatment is far better than those who entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the consulate after graduation.

These people did not disappoint. They cried and shouted everywhere, claiming that the Changshan Iron and Steel Plant was already unable to make ends meet and was on the verge of bankruptcy, begging the uncles from all walks of life to let them off the hook as they were almost unable to hold on.

The Council of Review believed it to be true and decided not to pay a high price to temporarily ban foreign cargo ships from passing through.

Of course, this is only a temporary expedient. The contradictions between Changshan County and the Council of Review are irreconcilable, and there will be a full-scale outbreak one day.

The imperial war has now entered the most critical period. The Third Army and the Seventh Army of the Papal States recently launched the "Autumn Offensive", trying to take advantage of the empire's shortage of ammunition to break through the empire's defenses in one fell swoop.

Internationally, the empire, as the most powerful country in the Eastern Continent and even the world, has always appeared in the image of a hegemon. Although it is not as strong as before, the hegemon is still a hegemon.

It is a joy for all countries to see the empire, which used to be overbearing, now in a difficult situation.

Although everyone is calling for peace and condemning the Papal States for the massacre of civilians in diplomatic terms, privately, they are crazy about selling weapons, ammunition, oil, and even missiles and aircraft to the Papal States, hoping to bleed the empire more.

The Papal States' envoys went out and filled up various military aid and supplies, not only without any restrictions, but also at a low price.

They even provided a lot of anti-biochemical and anti-virus materials for free, which played a huge role in helping the Papal States resist the biochemical attacks.

After all, the Papal States are now doing business with gold. They have dug out all the gold stored in various temples, chapels, cathedrals, and even tombs. In today's economic crisis and the over-issuance of currencies in various countries, they are the nouveau riche shining with gold.

The empire's envoys went out and returned with barely enough to fill a train car, and there are even high-ranking officials within the empire who are secretly selling weapons to the other side.

The situation is undoubtedly very unfavorable. The top level of the empire has obviously also noticed this, and Emperor Li Longxing has launched the "Who is Obstructing the Empire's Victory" campaign, with full support from the highest level.

As a result, Li Longxing has taken the opportunity to change some unreasonable systems while investigating internal moles.

As a result, there has been some improvement within the empire, with a decrease in unemployment, an increase in income for the lower class, improved public security, and economic prosperity.

The four imperial elders once again emphasized the importance of stability within the empire, demanding that all regions maintain stability as the top priority, and strictly prohibit internal conflicts and consumption. Officials who dare to disrupt stability will be severely punished, even removed from office and prosecuted.Under the strict dual control, most officials were extremely cautious, acting with great care, fearing that they might provoke the ire of the empire's supreme ruler at such a time.

——

Rock State.

The Governor's Mansion.

The Governor of Rock State, Chang Shengkai, was in a towering rage.

"Damn it, a bunch of useless fools! You boast so loudly on normal days, claiming even the Imperial Guards are nothing compared to you, saying that if you were on the battlefield, you could flatten The Papal States in minutes."

With a loud bang, he slapped the desk so hard it fell apart, demonstrating his profound internal strength.

"And what's the result? You can't even beat the mud-legged peasants! With so many of you fighting until now, you still haven't eradicated the rebel stronghold. Talking about taking on The Papal States, if you went, the empire would probably be destroyed by now!"

The military chiefs below were all silent, only Wu Zhihui tried to argue: "The rebels are too cunning, and they have external support..."

"I don't care!"

Chang Shengkai shouted angrily, pointing at his nose.

"The Supreme Elders' Council has already issued the highest order for the second time, demanding stability in all regions. The entire empire is at peace except for Rock State, which is still in turmoil. The Supreme Military Command has also sent a final ultimatum, demanding that we provide ten million tons of grain next month!"

"No matter what methods you use, you must eradicate those mud-legged peasants within this month and scrounge up enough grain. Otherwise, I won't be able to keep my governor's hat, and you'll all be buried with me!"

The military chiefs and bureaucrats exchanged glances, a fierce determination visible in their eyes.
