Lin Wen rubbed his chin.
There was no doubt that this was a simple wish of the people, and it couldn ’t be understood with dirty thoughts.


Moreover, the disaster victims should also have some fear and anxiety about losing Lin Wen, so they wished to have one of their own people by his side.

This also fits very well with the people ’s simple moral concepts.
Being saved by an immortal, doing everything for the immortal, could both repay the favor and seek refuge under the immortal ’s door.

This is good fortune.

Therefore, Bai Xiuyu, who was personally rescued by the immortal, is a very suitable candidate.

Of course, if Lin Wen looked at it with cold physical logic, it would be of no use, but it could stabilize people ’s hearts.

Moreover, it could also build a bridge for direct communication between Lin Wen and the disaster victims.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ”pawread dot com ”.

Although Lin Wen was not afraid of being sidelined, direct communication without frequent use of spells was also a great merit of saving good karma.

”Of course. ”

Lin Wen ’s mind turned, and he had already thought of a proper way to arrange it.

”You will be my personal secretary from now on, and go to the sheriff ’s office for an internship.
You will have a salary. ”

”Your job is to help me wash clothes, clean up the sanitation, and sometimes make some food.
There is nothing else. ”

”When you go to work, you can take your child with you, so that there will be more innocence and sunshine in the cold sheriff ’s office.
It ’s a good thing. ”

”Also, a period of time before going to bed every day is my cultivation time.
Absolutely no one is allowed to disturb me.
That ’s all, do you understand? ”

Xiuyu wanted to say something else, but Lin Wen had already finished the porridge and handed her the empty bowl.


”Here, thank you. ”

A strange feeling filled Xiuyu ’s heart.
She didn ’t know what it was, she could only take the bowl and bid farewell to the immortal.

When she walked out of the tent, the morning sun surrounded her, and the voices in the settlement gradually became lively.
People had breakfast, gathered in groups of two or three, chiseling wood, and sewing clothes, making tools for their own lives.

The air seemed to be filled with the fragrance of honey, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Just like the good old days when the sun was shining.

Then Xiuyu understood.

——

——

On the other side, Lin Wen welcomed another unexpected guest.

Granite Lei Tiantong.

He brought a bank card, which was an account specially established by the empire for Lin Wen after he was promoted to sheriff.

There was his first salary inside.

117,129 Empire Dollars.

When Lin Wen heard this number, he was simply unbelievable.

It should be noted that the entire Changshan County suffered such a big disaster, and the disaster relief funds from the empire only amounted to 100,000 yuan, while his monthly salary was 110,000.


Lei Tiantong misunderstood Lin Wen ’s expression.

”Sheriff Lin, due to the disaster in the county last month, the performance on the books was not good.
In addition, you are a new official who has not been in office for a month, so your salary has been discounted. ”

A question mark slowly appeared above Lin Wen ’s head.

”How much is your salary? ”

”Me? ”

Lei Tiantong was taken aback.

”About 3,000, plus benefits, it ’s probably about 5,000. ”

Okay.

Lin Wen had completely given up on the empire ’s integrity.
He raised Lei Tiantong ’s level by three and increased his salary by more than twenty times.

”Perfect. ”

Lin Wen handed the bank card back to Lei Tiantong.

”You immediately send someone to urgently buy some food with the money inside. ”

”Remember not to buy all dry food and rice, and also buy some meat. ” ”Also, tell Huang Mingxiao that the standard for food distribution to disaster victims in the future will be based on yesterday ’s quota, and no deduction is allowed. ”

Lei Tiantong had never encountered such a situation before and was dumbfounded.
He had a lot to say but couldn ’t get it out.

But when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly jumped up.


”Impossible, Sheriff Lin! The disaster victims consumed 400,000 worth of supplies every day before.
According to yesterday ’s quota, they need at least 1.2 million every day. ”

Lin Wen looked at him.
”What did the disaster victims eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a quota of 1.2 million? ”

Although Lei Tiantong was only in charge of finances, he was not ignorant of the situation of the disaster victims.
He could figure it out with a quick calculation.

”Half a bowl or 2/3 bowl of porridge for breakfast.
One bowl of porridge with half a cake for lunch, and half a bowl of porridge with half a carrot or 1/3 of a cabbage for dinner. ”

Lin Wen sneered.
”Is that considered rich? ”

Lei Tiantong remained silent.

Lin Wen continued, ”It ’s obvious what they are eating with a quota of 400,000.
Huang Mingxiao told me that they even use pig feed as food.
Can people eat that? ”

”What about the money? ” Lei Tiantong asked.
”If we use it like this, the newly purchased supplies won ’t last long, and we will need to purchase more soon.
The county only has 7 million left, which is enough for the second purchase at most.
But it won ’t last long, and we won ’t have money to rebuild our homes. ”

”The notice from the Seventh Construction Corps has already arrived, and they will be here tomorrow.
They explicitly stated in the notice that they need to be paid first before they start working. ”

”Sheriff Lin, unless the empire can provide assistance quickly, I really don ’t recommend using it like this. ”

Lin Wen sneered.
”The empire won ’t provide assistance.
We can only rely on ourselves. ”

Lei Tiantong wanted to say something, but Lin Wen didn ’t want to argue with him anymore.

”Okay, go and do as I say.
Keep an eye on the supplies.
Anyone who dares to embezzle will be executed. ”

”Spread the word. ”

Lei Tiantong remembered the scene from yesterday and couldn ’t help but shudder.
He was in the procession at the time, and although he was innocent, it was impossible for him not to be afraid.


However, Lei Tiantong absolutely supported Sheriff Lin ’s actions.
He couldn ’t stand these corrupt scum.

In the first few years after graduating and entering the workforce, he was repeatedly suppressed for speaking out.
He was ostracized for refusing to join in corruption.
As a top finance graduate of the empire, he was kicked around like a football by various departments.

He was eventually kicked to Changshan County, a remote location.
He went from a shining star with unlimited prospects to a unlucky person with a bleak future.
His girlfriend of six years left him, and his father died of anger in bed.

It wasn ’t until now that he woke up and realized that he had gone from an impassioned youth to a silent middle-aged man.
He no longer spoke out about things outside of work and turned a blind eye to corruption.
He could only try his best to ensure himself and his work.

That ’s how he settled in Changshan County and quickly rose to become the head of the finance department with his excellent abilities.
But it was all for nothing.

He no longer hoped for anything and could only marry and have children here, day after day.

The flame in his heart had almost gone out, and he thought this was the end of his life.

Until yesterday, he saw that there really were people who dared to ignite the flame of righteousness, who dared to ignore all rules, and who dared to break the barriers of the empire.One shot, one pest.
Until the corpses litter the ground, until no one can stand underfoot again.

Just like Superman in comics.

Or the hero in a story.

But…

In the empire,

Those who do such things won ’t live for long.

Fairy tales cannot survive in reality, like fish that have come ashore.
No matter how beautiful they were in life, they will eventually turn into colorful foam.

Lei Tiantong didn ’t want to see Sheriff Lin fall, but he had no other way to help him.

All he could do was whisper before leaving,

”Be careful, Sheriff Lin.
Take care. ”
