New and dark light years

Chapter 444 This girl can now find a man to have her child.
Hearing Li Lin's words, Siluo Tuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll definitely be very interested in what I'm about to say."

"Please." Li Lin gestured.

Siluotuo frowned slightly: "Then you have to promise me first."

Hearing this, Li Lin laughed: "How am I supposed to know if this intelligence is valuable if you don't tell me?"

“But if you don’t agree, what if I tell you and you still don’t want me to leave?” Siluotuo said calmly, “We don’t really trust you people of Daqi.”

“Likewise,” Li Lin replied.

Siluotuo's expression was inscrutable. Then he laughed and said, "Then let's each take a step back. I'll say half of it, and you let me out. Then I'll say the other half."

It seemed reasonable, but Li Lin knew there was a loophole in it.

He shook his head and said, "Not only do you have to finish explaining, but I also have to verify it, otherwise I won't agree to it."

"Then there's nothing to discuss!" Siluo Tuo shrugged.

Li Lin smiled and disappeared from this illusory world.

As Li Lin disappeared, Siluotuo's expression turned gloomy.

He was somewhat angry, but looking at the countless sword shadows pointing at him from all sides, he suppressed his resentment.

Emerging from the illusory world, Li Lin snorted and placed the white jade immortal sword back on the shelf.

Siluo Tuo was deceiving himself; he had this feeling.

After all, he was a nature god of the Southern Barbarians, possessing memories of his past life; it was impossible for him to have much goodwill towards the people of Daqi.

Similarly, since Li Lin stands on the side of the Daqi people, his position must naturally be on the side of the Daqi people as well.

Trusting the enemy too much is not a good thing.

The following days were simple: Li Lin continued his cultivation step by step, while also starting to build his own team.

Although he was the military governor of Jin, Gui and Yue prefectures, only Jin prefecture truly had the absolute power to wage war.

Nearly half of the county towns in Gui County were occupied by the Tang family army, while Yue County... belonged entirely to Qin Tuo.

Li Lin was not interested in the territories occupied by others; what he needed was the identity of a military governor.

With a legitimate status, many things can be done openly and legitimately.

He decided to make Yulin County his 'government seat'.

The so-called administrative center was the location of the military governor's "team" and the city where he exercised local power.

This is usually designated by the imperial court.

But Li Lin did not intend to comply.

Actually, Jin County is a good place, but it's under the jurisdiction of his father-in-law, and Li Lin doesn't want to take over his territory.

Yulin County is actually a good place, close to the heart of Jin County, and the transportation is convenient whether you go to Gui County or Yue County.

If all the major transportation routes in Jin County are 'connected' and 'opened up,' then even though Yulin County is small, it can still be used as the administrative center of the Jiedushi (military governor).

Besides, even if Yulin County isn't very big, we can develop it into a large city over time.

With this in mind, Li Lin went to the county government office.

Wen Bi and Jiang Jili were both working when they saw Li Lin arrive. They both stood up and bowed, calling him "Jiedushi" (military governor).

Li Lin waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite."

Wen Bi immediately offered up his position as county magistrate, and said with a smile, "Please sit down, Military Governor."

Li Lin didn't sit down, but stood to the side and said, "Just call me Kun Ge as usual."

The two smiled, cupped their hands in greeting, and said nothing.

But this is a form of 'opposition'.

They dare not.

After all, Li Lin's deeds have now spread to Yulin County.

Both of them already knew very well what he had done in the capital.

Jiang Jili looked at Li Lin. He knew this man was incredibly audacious, but he never imagined he would be this audacious.

That was the crown prince, second only to the emperor, yet they beheaded him right in front of the emperor.

It takes a lot of courage to do something like that.

He used to think he was about the same as Li Lin, not quite as good, but not far off. But now, thinking back, he realized he had been far too arrogant.

This is not a matter of talent, but a matter of perspective and mindset.

He thought for a moment and said, "Has the military governor decided where to set up his administrative center? Jin County?"

Li Lin asked, "Does the county magistrate have any thoughts?"

"Logically speaking, Jin County is better, but... that's Prefect Huang's territory. He's your father-in-law, so it's really not good for you to occupy that place."

Li Lin nodded: "That's what I think too, so I plan to set up the administrative center in Yulin County."

"This place is a bit too small and doesn't suit your stature."

Li Lin shook his head: "If it's small, then make it big."

"Since the military governor has already made up his mind, then I will no longer try to persuade him."

Li Lin looked at Jiang Jili and said, "As the military governor, I need many people and officials under my command. Are you willing to come and help me, Magistrate Jiang?"

“That is indeed my wish,” Jiang Jili laughed.

Li Lin said, "But you must understand, in a few years, I might become a rebel."

“Of course I know.” Jiang Jili nodded.

As a scion of a prominent family, he was very knowledgeable about the intelligence surrounding the Great Qi.

He may not have the courage to lead things himself, but he can certainly follow someone with leadership qualities.

"Then you can be my chief secretary," Li Lin said with a smile. "You can continue to serve as the local county magistrate as well."

This is the most important position under the Jiedushi (military governor).

It can be said that almost everything the military governor does, and all the orders he issues, will go through the hands of the chief secretary to check for omissions and fill in any gaps.

It also has strong administrative management power.

Jiang Jili bowed and said, "Your humble servant obeys."

Li Lin looked at Wen Bi: "Where is Magistrate Wen? Is he willing to help me?"

"Can I think about it for a few days?" Wen Bi said somewhat uneasily.

He grew up reading the classics and was also a scholar who passed the imperial examinations, so he was quite loyal to the Great Qi.

Li Lin nodded: "It's alright."

Then Li Lin looked at Jiang Jili: "Although the chief secretary is a civil official, I allow you to form a personal guard of no more than one hundred men."

Jiang Jili's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Military Governor."

Although he also had more than a dozen guards at home, guards and personal guards were different.

The personal guards could obtain weapons and salaries from the military governor's arsenal, and also had the right to wear armor.

One hundred armored warriors may not be of much use on the battlefield, but in real life, they are a force that can protect homes and communities.

Li Lin continued, "The imperial court will probably stop supplying us with weapons and provisions, so we'll have to find our own way. Secretary, do you have any good ideas?"

“Fundraising,” Jiang Jili said with a smile. “All the wealthy people in the counties of Jin County should contribute some money.”

"Will this cause public outrage?"

“The military governor can give their sons and nephews some insignificant positions in the army,” Jiang Jili said with a smile. “It’s both a favor to them and a way to treat them as hostages.”

Li Lin said admiringly, "That's a good idea. This way, the initial funding and supplies will be secured. Since this was proposed by the Secretary, I'll leave it to you to handle."

Jiang Jili bowed and said, "Rest assured, Governor, I will handle this matter properly."

Li Lin handed over the initial setup of the administrative center to Jiang Jili.

He rode his horse to the outskirts of Yulin City and arrived at the Lanlin Zhenjun Temple.

The temple is very popular, with people worshipping both inside and outside the temple.

Li Lin arrived with more than a dozen personal guards. Upon seeing this, the ordinary people immediately made way for him to enter.

Upon entering the temple, before even approaching the main hall, they heard Liu Shen's exaggerated voice.

"Hahaha, now that I've turned into a human, I can finally find a man and have children."
