"That's all in the past. From now on, I'll let the world see a different Lin Chen.”
Lin Chen couldn't change his previous evaluation. However, he wanted the people under his rule to respect him as if they were gods.
Qiao Song smiled. He did not comment on this.
The future could only be known in the future.
After chatting about the general trend, Lin Chen used his advantage as a transmigrator to successfully change Qiao Song's opinion of him. Next, it was time to extend an olive branch.
"With the current situation, what do you think Lujiang should do?”
Qiao Song raised his head slightly and sized Lin Chen up.
He stroked his beard and said thoughtfully,"
"Daren has just taken office and should focus on winning over the hearts of the people and developing Lujiang.”
Lin Chen nodded and asked,"
"Mister, what do you think of the current situation of Lujiang?”
"Currently, there are only a thousand soldiers in Wan County, and less than five thousand soldiers in Lujiang.”
"Self-protection is not enough, and public security is lax. If this continues, if the world is really in chaos, Lujiang will probably collapse without attack.”
"I want to change the current situation of Lujiang. I wonder if Mr. Qiao is willing to be the vanguard?”
Lin Chen was not the kind of person who liked to beat around the bush, so he directly said it out loud.
"This..."
Lin Chen's words immediately stopped Qiao Song.
Although he could hear Lin Chen's intention to recruit him, he did not expect him to be so direct.
"Are you worried that I'm just talking on paper? Afraid of my reputation of being idle and ignorant?”
“.......”
Qiao Song was silent. It was obvious that Lin Chen had only said a few words. Even if Lin Chen's words had exceeded his expectations, entering the prefect's manor as an official was a different matter.
"Three months then."
"Three months later, if Lujiang does not meet your expectations, you will be released.”
"These three months can be considered as Sir repaying Miss Da Qiao for saving his life.”
"If you meet your expectations, then you will stay and work for me.”
“.......”
"In that case, thank you for your appreciation.”
Qiao Song stood up and bowed to Lin Chen. He had no choice but to accept this condition.
Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction. He stood up and cupped his hands at Qiao Song.
"In the future, you will have to worry about Lujiang. You will temporarily take on the duties of the duty officer and the main registrar.”
He had enough confidence to completely take Qiao Song under his wing within these three months.
Qiao Song nodded again and bowed to Lin Chen.
"In these three months, Qiao Song will definitely do his best.”
Qiao Song didn't finish his sentence. Although Lin Chen had impressed him today, Lin Chen's reputation was really too bad.
Lin Chen's smile remained on his face. He naturally knew what Qiao Song was worried about. He could not help but look at Da Qiao, who had also stood up beside him. He casually asked,
"I wonder if Miss Da Qiao has any understanding of the situation in Lujiang?”
A hint of panic flashed across Da Qiao's slightly round face, but she did not expect Lin Chen to suddenly mention her.
However, he quickly reacted and nodded gently. He said gently,
"In my spare time, I also like to listen to the servant girls in the residence talk about the outside world. Occasionally, I will go and understand a little about the situation in Lujiang during this period.”
"My head seems to have been hit. After I woke up, many things became blurry. Now, I need someone to tell me about the situation in Lujiang in recent years.”
"I wonder if Miss Da Qiao is willing to come to the prefect's manor in your spare time and tell me what you know?”
"This…"
Da Qiao looked at Qiao Song with a questioning gaze.
Below, Qiao Song's face also had a bitter smile.
"You can decide for yourself."
Da Qiao understood. He subconsciously clasped his hands together, clearly hesitant.
Lin Chen didn't say anything. He quietly sized up the lady and waited for her reply.
After a while, the lady's gaze landed on Lin Chen again.
Seeing that Lin Chen was also looking at her, her pretty face could not help but blush again. She quickly shifted her gaze away and did not dare to look at Lin Chen anymore. She muttered,
"I'm afraid that Da Qiao doesn't know much and has delayed Milord's important matters.”
Seeing that Da Qiao had agreed, a smile appeared on Lin Chen's face. He immediately waved his hand.
"It can't be delayed. Only by knowing the situation in Lujiang like the back of my hand can I do things freely.”
"Yes!"
Da Qiao responded softly, but then she thought of something and her face blushed even more.
If she came to tell Lin Chen about Lujiang, didn't that mean that she had to spend time alone with Lin Chen?
Lin Chen did not say much.
He was indeed looking for someone to tell him these things. The memories of his predecessor were very fragmented. If he wanted to quickly grasp the current situation of Lujiang, he had to find a local of Lujiang.
Lin Chen didn't have the bad taste to find a burly man who dug his feet instead of this beautiful woman.
"Daren wants to reform Lujiang, I wonder where to start?”
Since he had promised Lin Chen that he would do his best for the next three months, he would naturally keep his word.
Lin Chen also expected Qiao Song to ask this question, so he told him the plan he had thought of previously.
"Recruit soldiers, buy horses, recruit talents."
Qiao Song also nodded. This was similar to his thoughts. He asked again,
"How many people should we recruit and which talents should we recruit?”
"How many people to recruit? I will have to trouble you to check the accounts of Lujiang. Under the premise of ensuring the livelihood of the people, give me the largest number.”
"Duna?"
This was indeed beyond Qiao Song's expectations.
"There are many things to do in Lujiang. Lin Chen's reputation is out there. I'll have to trouble you.”
As Lin Chen spoke, he cupped his fists and bowed to Qiao Song.
"Hahaha, how dare you disobey."
Qiao Song laughed heartily. He was also completely certain in his heart that the world's understanding of Lin Chen was completely wrong.
"I'll have to trouble you to draft a few recruitment orders and recruitment orders. All the people of insight and ambition in the world, regardless of their status, can be officials in Lujiang County as long as they have a skill.”
"Yes!"
Qiao Song bowed respectfully, and the smile on his face widened.
