Don't Interrupt My Immortal Cultivation

"But what's worse, corruption began to seep into our ranks."

"At that time, a large number of rejected poor people didn't leave. They gathered outside the territory of the Song of the Sky, forming a poverty belt encircling it. They were poor and hungry, barely clothed, and they envied the life inside."

"So, we occasionally provided some aid, but one day, everything changed."

"It started with the leaders within our organization. They discovered that as long as there was a bit of food, the impoverished would do anything. So, one of them used a piece of bread to delegate his daily physical labor to a poor person."

"His daily wage was equivalent to nine pieces of bread. He quickly realized the profit in this, hiring nine poor people with nine pieces of bread, getting nine times the work done, and earning eighty-one pieces of bread."

"By the time we discovered this, it had become a widespread practice, with countless people involved. Even when the wage dropped to half a piece of bread, people were still scrambling to work."

"And those who benefited from this, they did nothing but had a huge income. Every day, they had the wives and daughters of the poor to sleep with, and the poor to serve their every need. They were no different from the nobles in the empire, or us in our families."

"I dealt with them in anger, but it only earned me more hatred. I had taken away their only source of food, and the part of the organization that had just started to improve fell into paralysis again."

"Due to the worsening economy, internal conflicts began to increase sharply. The once peaceful Song of the Sky began to see theft, robbery, and even more serious incidents. The cadres often quarreled, and the harmonious atmosphere was gone."

"I had no choice but to form a secret police organization, using the methods of our family to forcibly manage the organization."

"At first, it worked well. But as I gradually lost in the power struggle within my family, my economy further declined, and the situation of the organization worsened. The profits generated by the organization were far from enough to support its operation, and conflicts arose everywhere. I had no choice but to strengthen and rely more on the secret police."

"So one day, I suddenly realized that this ideal country that Xia and I tried to establish had become a strict nation where the secret police ran rampant. Everyone spoke cautiously, everyone walked with their heads down. My name became a taboo in this country. In all normal work, even the word 'fall' was not allowed to appear, it had to be changed to 'descend', 'release', or some other word. 'Summer' became 'hot day', 'frost' became 'cold fog'."

"And many more, this place had become a city of terror filled with taboos everywhere."

"But even so, people still didn't want to leave, and evil was not eradicated. The people in the city used food to enjoy a superior life in the poverty belt. Prostitutes, thieves, villains, and even gangs were born in this situation, just like in the empire."

"The Song of the Sky had completely degenerated at this time, but Xia and I still didn't want to give up, trying to correct it, but to little avail. Because our actions were not understood, we were even rumored to be madmen, witches, goddesses of death who would destroy the world."

"At that time, we held the last meeting with the remaining cadres. We unanimously believed that it was the lack of money that led to the organization becoming like this."

"So, Xia and I returned to our respective families, seizing benefits at all costs, which temporarily improved the organization a bit, but also brought about a catastrophe."

"Because we went too far, our actions were soon exposed in the family. We both quickly lost our positions in the family. I was asked to marry an idiot, not the previous son-in-law. Xia was to be given to the son of Cheng, whom you killed, to liaise and grow old relationships."

"Losing our economic source and facing the joint attack of the Qin and Xia families, the organization quickly collapsed. They took away everything they could and dispersed. The once like-minded cadres scattered all over the world."

"It's like a land covered with snow. When the snow melts, the ground becomes even muddier and dirtier."

"For a long time afterwards, I kept thinking about what caused our failure."

"I once thought I found the answer, that I simply didn't understand politics, didn't know how to operate for profit, and only knew how to manipulate power."

"It wasn't until I came to you that I realized what I really lacked was a pure heart, a soul not tainted by the empire."

"I grew up in the family. My father once trained me as his successor. I know everything about the empire, I am familiar with all political means, I am good at using conspiracies and strategies to attack political enemies or protect myself, I am proficient in establishing and operating secret police departments, and I am used to using privileges to maintain my authority."

"In my subconscious, privilege, interest, and conspiracy have become instinctive behaviors. I have long been an impure person, yet I foolishly dreamt of establishing a clean land. This is impossible.""Only you, Lin Wen, I don't know how you manage to stay pure, how you can rise to the position of Sheriff in this empire without being tainted by any corruption. But I can see that your soul is as pure as crystal, without any impurities."

"Only you can fulfill all these dreams within dreams. It's funny, I used to think you were a fool, but now I know, I was the fool."

"So, as long as it's you, no matter what you ask for, I will listen to you, because I am no longer trustworthy, I don't even trust myself."

"So, never think that I can replace Zhao Minggong, the sleeping dragon. He is a true genius. I have never seen such an outstanding person in my family. Sometimes I even envy you. If he had been there back then, perhaps my and Xia's organization wouldn't have collapsed so quickly."

"If you let me take over the internal affairs, I will obey your orders, but I have to remind you, this will only turn Changshan County into the next Song of the Sky."

"Even now, the power I have is too great. When the KGB started working, it took less than half a month for people's gaze towards me to change. They became cautious, started to flatter me, compliment me, alienate me, even hate me, far more than when I was misunderstood as your mistress."

"I'm afraid that I will bring my usual style to this new home and turn it into the one I used to have."

"In this life, I only hope to see a pure land in the world, because only there can my soul find peace and not be tormented by my father's nightmares."

"Do you understand, Mr. Lin Wen?"

Lin Wen laughed.

Even though he had no interest in politics, he had memorized knowledge that he could never learn here to pass exams.

Without a doubt, this was an imperial version of a utopian society, a model that was bound to fail unless it had unlimited external input to sustain it.

As for Qin Luoshuang herself, she was an individual who betrayed her class.

Her worries were actually very simple.

She was too accustomed to thinking about everything in the imperial way. This was correct when applied externally, because the empire was just like that, but it was a big mistake when applied internally in Changshan County.

Because Changshan County had him, the most unique Sheriff in the empire.

So Changshan County was not the territory of the empire, but his land of virtue, the promised land for all commoners and scholars.

Concerning his path to immortality, Lin Wen would never be negligent or give in.

Whoever dared to touch his fundamental interests was seeking their own death.

Those below him, kill on the spot.

Those above him, plan in the end.

As long as the conditions were met, Lin Wen would not hesitate to take action.

Destroy both the jade and the stone.

"Don't worry, I've got everything under control."

Lin Wen said with a smile, his unwavering will and faith seemed to be able to infect the person on the other side of the satellite phone.

"I'm not Dalinzi, and you won't become Yeruofu, nor will you have the chance to be Belya."

"As long as I'm here, Changshan County will not change."

"Anyone who wants to turn Changshan County into a filthy place like the empire."

"Even if it's a god, I'll kill them for you to see!"

Lin Wen's strong confidence seemed to infect Qin Luoshuang. She hummed softly, and something invisible in her tone dissipated, becoming light and lively, and she seemed a bit like a young girl again.

Lin Wen hung up the phone and soon began to worry again.

Because this meant that he had to find a new sleeping dragon. It was indeed impossible for Phoenix Nest to replace the work of the sleeping dragon.

Her current job was the most perfect fit for her, any more would be superfluous.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Wen decided to summon Qi Mu first and asked, "Are you considered a high-end talent in the empire as a programmer?"

Hearing this question, Qi Mu's face quickly darkened, he said in a low voice: "When I started learning, they said it was high-end talent, and I would have no worries about food and clothing once I learned it."

"By the time I graduated, there were more programmers on the market than sand on a construction site. My school was just an ordinary university, and I had no advantage in competition."

"And there were far fewer internet companies than expected, everyone could only compete viciously, so the wages got lower and lower, and the treatment got worse and worse. I was considered lucky, many people didn't even have a job."

"The job market starts queuing at 4 o'clock in the morning every day. By the time it opens at 8 o'clock, the queue is several kilometers long. Many people bring their own food and clean water, even bedding, because you have to stand there all day before it's your turn."

"My former boss would scold and insult us in the office every day, slap us in public, burn our faces with cigarette butts, pour hot soup on us during meals, or push people into the hot pot for fun. We could only endure it."

"Because once you leave this door, looking for another job is a nightmare-like experience."

Lin Wen nodded, it seemed that the situation in the empire was very bad, a bit like a combination of China, America, and Japan, inheriting all the disadvantages."Do you think anyone would come if I recruit people in the job market with the conditions I've offered you?"

Qi Mu was taken aback.

"Of course, such good conditions are rare."

Lin Wen reminded him, "It's for work in Changshan County. Changshan County is a very poor place, with no skyscrapers, no modernization, no mobile communication. Apart from the county official's office, there's no computer network either."

"Compared to here, it's a different world."

Qi Mu hesitated for a moment. Young people flock to big cities for work, aren't they attracted by the modern development of the city?

Returning to a remote and poor countryside, he didn't know how many people would be willing.

But thinking about his previous situation, he still answered, "There will definitely be people willing! There are many people who can't survive now and dare not go back. As long as there is a stable job, they will make a choice."

"Good!"

Lin Wen slapped his thigh, "You go and recruit now, recruit as many as you can."
