Just imagine, if some land in Haizhou is also destroyed by pesticides and cannot be cultivated, and the people are resentful about this, will the National Protectorate Association just sit back and ignore it?
No, with the character of the Protector who loves his people like his own son, he will never ignore it.
What Lin Xing has to do is to secretly arrange for people to go in and develop this matter into the construction of an iron smelting workshop area in Haizhou.
Yes, what Lin Xing wants is that as long as he can get a good start, he can develop Haizhou step by step.
As early as half a month ago, Haizhou received pesticides arranged by Su Chen to kill locusts.
Su Chen had written down the side effects of these pesticides in detail early on, so Haizhou officials did not use pesticides in large areas and in high concentrations.
Coupled with the recent heavy snowfall, it is inevitable that the locust plague will subside even if pesticides are not used for killing.
Therefore, those pesticides are still sealed in warehouses.
Lin Xing has always been a thoughtful person who considers various consequences before doing anything.
It was not that he had not imagined that Su Chen might disagree with the construction of an iron smelting workshop in Haizhou.
However, he never imagined that Su Chen would be so disrespectful...
In fact, he had secretly planned a response a few days ago.
He had already secretly ordered people to capture a large number of locusts and raise them secretly in order to have a legitimate reason to spray the land with pesticides!
At that time, he only needs to secretly let people release the locusts, and then arrange the chess pieces to accidentally use pesticides out of impatience, thus destroying part of the land.
Then, he arranged for people to create public opinion, and then took the initiative to discuss the matter with Su Chen.
…
"Do you think the Protector has any other reasons for refusing?"
Lin Xing took one last meaningful look at the officials present.
"this……"
Obviously, under Lin Xing's bewitchment, some officials had begun to shake their hearts.
Yes, although Lin Xing's approach is a bit risky, the benefits after success are still very objective.
Moreover, as long as the arrangements are made properly, the chance of success is very high!
Sometimes, people will do crazy things just for the sake of very small possibilities.
For a moment, the room fell into silence again, but unlike the previous depression, this time, many people had a little fire in their eyes.
"Everyone, you all know that the law does not punish the public. Even if the Lord Protector will be angry with us, he will definitely not do anything to the people!"
"Don't forget, this is Haizhou, our home court, and the people are more willing to believe in us parents and officials!
"
After Lin Xing finished speaking, those officials who were already a little shaken could no longer control themselves.
Yes, no matter what the prestige of Su Chen, the Protector of the Country, was in the entire Tang Dynasty, in Haizhou, in terms of credibility with the people, more than a hundred of them were still better!
"Let me just say this, if you want to continue on your official career, then this is your biggest opportunity right now!"
Um?
Hearing this, the officials present couldn't help but their eyes lit up.
"Master Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Xing sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and explained: "You also know that with the reform of the bureaucracy, it will no longer be as easy as before to get promoted in the future."
"One of my colleagues who was in Guanzhong told me that due to the expansion of the territory in the past two years, the imperial court will select more than a dozen third-grade governors to manage those states and counties!"
"At present, Datang officials are still short of manpower, so the requirements for the election are not very high. All of you here have met the standards!"
Hearing this, all the officials immediately became excited.
Unexpectedly, they actually have the opportunity to become governor-level officials!
This is something they never dared to think about before!
Seeing the fiery looks in their eyes, Lin Xing knew that his words had an effect.
"However, don't be too happy. Apart from you, the officials in Guanzhou have also met the required standards."
"The construction of the iron smelting workshop this time can be said to have put Guanzhou in the limelight above Haizhou. Do you think your chances of promotion are greater than theirs?"
Lin Xing's words were like a basin of cold water dousing the fire in their hearts.
Yes, now Guanzhou officials are much more powerful than Haizhou.
Judging from the current situation, if it is really necessary to select a governor, then the officials in Guanzhou seem to have many advantages.
For a time, some people couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but they were also very unwilling.
The opportunity is right in front of you. If you can't grasp it, you will really miss it if you miss it!
If they miss this opportunity, they will have fewer and fewer chances to get ahead in the future!
Lin Xing was very familiar with the thoughts of his subordinates.
If you say they are not interested in promotion, he won't believe it.
Seeing the hesitation of these officials, Lin Xing was a little dissatisfied and decided to add more fire!
"I know what you are afraid of. It is just that you are afraid that the Lord Protector will pursue this matter when the time comes!"
Lin Xing said lightly, seeming a little disdainful?
After Lin Xing finished speaking, these officials became a little unable to sit still.
"Master Lin, what do you mean?
Don't you still know the temper of the Protector?"
"We really want to be promoted, but we can't offend the Lord Protector!"
"If we offend him, will we still have the chance to get promoted?"
…
Although the temptation of promotion is great, some officials still dare not take the risk.
What kind of person is Su Chen?
Su Chen is a ruthless man who destroyed the Tubo Empire just because of one word!
Are the officials present not familiar with his deeds?
They were in awe from the bottom of their hearts towards this Protector of the Country.
Just like when we welcomed Su Chen today, except for Lin Xing, the governor, who among them dared to go up and talk to him?
And this banquet, if Lin Xing hadn't taken the lead, would they have dared to come?
Although Su Chen looks like a handsome young man, in the hearts of these officials, his power is no less powerful than that of the current sage Li Shimin!
If you offend this person, it's not a matter of eating the good fruit, but a matter of whether you can survive...
Lin Xing seemed to have seen through the thoughts of these people and continued: "Let me just say this, as long as more than a hundred of us do this, I don't believe that Su Chen will dare to do anything to us!"
"Is it possible that he still dares to behead more than a hundred of us?
!”
This time, Lin Xing did not show any respect to Su Chen, but called him by his real name!
