survival in the wilderness

The two talked for a long time, and Shuisheng finally nodded in agreement, but he suggested that Shi Zhi be called back.

At least two of the five arbiters must be in Sun City.Moreover, as Shi Zhi is also the governor of Mingzhou, he cannot ignore Mingzhou.

He is far away on Mingji Island and has never returned.It happened that significant progress had been made in the research on light bulbs, and he could come back with something and perform his duties while doing research.

Lin Yan wrote to Shi Zhi that day, analyzing the pros and cons and asking him to come back as soon as possible.

The Scientific Research Institute has trained a large number of talents over the years, and there is no need for him to stay on Mingji Island all the time.

After talking to Shui Sheng, Lin Yan went to see Xu Hui.

Before the election, Xu Hui rushed back from Qicheng and was encouraged by Lin Yan to participate in the election to replace Shi Yong as Minister of Public Security.

Taking over the new position, Xu Hui has been very busy recently.The Department of Public Safety is a huge system with a mixed staff and is closely related to citizens' lives.

Xu Hui has been lurking outside these years and made great contributions to the alliance's recovery of Tianduan Mountain.

Originally, he was more interested in the position of Special Security Director, but Ye Xinghui beat him to it.It happened that Shi Yong retired, and the Ministry of Public Security was one of the nine departments. It was difficult to find a successor, so he was promoted.

In fact, the Ministry of Public Security is not without suitable candidates. The two previous deputy ministers are the best successors.However, during the assessment by the Human Resources Department, it was revealed that the two of them had more or less bad deeds over the years and were obsessed with gaining power, which made people have to think more.

Huang Ying and Lin Yan secretly observed the two deputy ministers for a long time. They failed to pass the test, so they gave Xu Hui a chance.

"How does it feel to be the new official?" Lin Yan joked with a smile, as if he couldn't see the irritable look on Xu Hui's face.

"You know what you're asking. What's the point of the leader Lin condescending to come here?"

Lin Yan smiled and was completely unaffected by his bad attitude. "When I just passed by, I suddenly felt that the building here is quite impressive. Come in and have a cup of tea with you."

Xu Hui looked at her suspiciously, not believing it at all, "How busy are you, and you still have time for tea? Besides, our poor place doesn't have good tea. If you want to drink tea, you might as well go somewhere else."

"Don't be so arrogant and talk nicely." Lin Yan endured it and said, "Minister Xu Hui, I know you are busy, but you don't have time to talk. After all, we are old acquaintances. , your attitude is so sad."

"Haha, I've always been like this. If you can't stand it, just leave." Xu Hui was unmoved. He had a hunch that if Lin Yan didn't come to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason, he would be doing something bad.

"No, you are a senior official, so you can speak confidently."

"Not as good as you."

Lin Yan took a deep breath and said seriously, "Are they still peaceful recently?"

"What do you think?" Xu Hui's face became even more ugly.

The Department of Public Safety seems calm, but in fact there is constant internal fighting.On the surface, the two deputy ministers were very respectful to him, but secretly they kept stumbling over him, trying to pull him down.

Lin Yan's expression turned bad, "No one is perfect, but some people are just shameless. I think you can show them your sharp claws and show them some color."

The Ministry of Public Security has a mixed staff, and has always been managed by Shi Yong. He came from the military, and he speaks his mind and can stick to his principles and suppress the people below.But Xu Hui was too young, and he suddenly landed in the air. He had to rely on himself to convince the public.

"It's easy to say, but it's nothing serious. If you ask me, people like them should have been cleaned up long ago."

Xu Hui smiled and said harsh words. In his opinion, those two people were just worms, relying on their seniority and seniority to do nothing, and suppressing rising stars.

He always thought that Lin Yan was the same as him, but after taking office, he realized that she was no longer what he remembered.

Lin Yan understood what he meant and said bitterly: "You think I don't want to. It's not because the situation doesn't allow it, so I asked you to turn the tide."

Those two people were promoted by Shi Yong. As soon as Shi Yong retreated, he cleaned up his people. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that there was a problem.

"The current alliance is not what it was ten years ago. Standing in our position, we have to weigh the pros and cons and cannot act arbitrarily."

After being silent for a while, Xu Hui said: "I understand, I just feel aggrieved."

Being deeply involved, he could understand Lin Yan's difficulties and choices.The success of his airborne landing this time was already the result of a multi-party game.

"None of us are the same young people we once said we were. We have experienced a lot in these years and have to grow up. I know you are capable of pursuing your own affairs in your position. Your tolerance is only temporary."

Lin Yan looked at him expectantly, "The Arbitration Court has high hopes for you, and you must know it very well. I hope you can clear out the Ministry of Public Security and build a team that can be trusted."

Today's personnel are too mixed. There are people who have transferred from the military department. These people are okay, but there are also people who need to be recruited temporarily.Over the years, it has developed into a huge system.

Public security personnel are the front line and are closely related to citizens' daily lives. The foundation is already unstable.

The situation in Sun City was not bad, but in other cities, grassroots personnel were enriching their own pockets, and cases of abuse of power for personal gain were increasing year by year. This was what Lin Yan could not tolerate the most.

Xu Hui has outstanding personal abilities and is a powerful mystic, able to suppress demons and demons from all sides.

"You came to me specifically to talk about this, right?" Xu Hui was unmoved. He knew what she wanted to do since he took over this position, but he naturally understood the principle of seeking political power in his position.

Lin Yan knew that he had heard it and said with a smile: "You saw it, so I'll tell you straight away, what is your mental strength measurement?"

Xu Hui said solemnly: "I just took the test a few days ago, and it's 3180."

He went to the Sun City Public Security Bureau that day and saw a detector, so he took a test by the way.Unexpectedly, it exceeded 3000, and he was already an A-level profound practitioner.

Lin Yan's eyes lit up, "Congratulations, when did you break through?"

"I didn't pay attention. Maybe it was during the attack on Qicheng. I was busy at that time, so I didn't take it seriously."

"Put down the corners of your mouth when you speak. Don't think that I can't tell that you are secretly happy. However, it is indeed a great joy for you to break through. I'll treat you to a meal to celebrate."

"Okay, I want to eat the most expensive one." Xu Hui was not polite at all.

Lin Yan reluctantly said, "No problem, you choose the place."

When the meal was finished and the bill was paid, Lin Yan said to Xu Hui: "I will never treat you to dinner again. I really can't afford it. A meal costs more than two yuan, you are really rude."

"You still care about this little money. It's a rare opportunity. If I don't kill you hard, I'd be sorry for myself."

Returning to the office again, Xu Hui said seriously: "I know your intention. But I still don't agree with you leaving at this time. Will Shuisheng agree?"

"He has already agreed." Lin Yan put away his smile, "I understand your worries and will not leave immediately. Shi Zhi will be back soon."

"No wonder you dare to do this." Xu Hui immediately understood where her confidence came from.

With Shui Sheng and Shi Zhi guarding Sun City, it will be much more stable.Lin Yan looked at him, "You have a heavy responsibility. The Zhongzhou Military Government sets up a garrison according to regulations, but in fact there are only six regiments. You should understand what this means."

Since the capture of Tianduan Mountain, the alliance has increased its troops to ten armies.Six of them are in Yongzhou and Anzhou.The remaining four armies, including honor guards and guards, are scattered in the cities under the jurisdiction of the remaining six states.

Zhongzhou is the core area and Sun City is the heart of the alliance. Only six regiments are stationed there.

Xu Hui said seriously: "I understand and will clean up the interior as soon as possible. When necessary, I will mobilize all personnel to cooperate fully."

In addition to the regular military forces, the alliance's public security team is the strongest armed force.Among them, police officers account for 80.00%. The mobilization of these people cannot be underestimated.

"With your words, I feel relieved. The meal just now was not wasted. However, should you also treat me to a meal? We have known each other for so long, but you have never treated me to a meal."

"You are a busy man, so why would you care about a meal? There are many people queuing up outside to treat you to a meal, so don't stare at me alone."

"Xu Hui, this is boring. We are friends after all, so a meal isn't too much, right?"

Xu Hui was clear-headed and unmoved: "Of course you can eat, but you can't ask me to treat you. If you pay the bill, I will be happy."

"I didn't realize that you are like this Xu Hui." Lin Yan looked at him as if it was the first time he met him, "You really don't want to invite me?"

Xu Hui shook his head firmly.

Lin Yan walked away angrily.

I met several people along the way, including two of the deputy minister's confidants, and immediately went to report them.

The newly appointed minister had a bad relationship with Lin Yan, which the two deputy ministers wanted to see, but the truth and lies had to be carefully distinguished.

Two days later, Shui Sheng came to Lin Yan to talk about the matter.

Lin Yan looked at him in confusion, "What are you talking about? When did Xu Hui and I stop fighting?"

"It's spread all over the city. Tell me the truth, what's going on?" Shui Sheng was very tired. He was so busy every day and had to pay attention to these chores.

Lin Yan and Xu Hui are both important people in the alliance. Even if he thinks the rumors are untrue, he still has to confirm with her.

"What's the rumor?" Lin Yan looked confused. She really didn't know.

"Someone saw you and Xu Hui quarreling, and left with an angry look on your face. That's what you said."

Lin Yan thought about it carefully and sneered: "It spread so fast, some people must be happy to see it happen. I went to see Xu Hui two days ago, and there was no quarrel. Maybe I was unhappy when I left, which caused people to misunderstand ”

Shui Sheng was dubious, "Is it really just like this?"

"Yes, you also know Xu Hui's temperament. He speaks in a weird and arrogant way, and he also has a flamboyant and wanton look. It's hard for people to talk to him properly."

Shui Sheng believes this. "As long as everything is fine, there are constant turmoil within the Ministry of Public Security. Xu Hui is going through a difficult time. If you have a conflict with him, you will add fuel to the flames."

Xu Hui had not returned for many years, and his foundation in Sun City was too shallow. He suddenly became the Minister of Public Security. Many people were dissatisfied.

The Arbitration Court supports him and hopes that he can completely rectify the public security system. At this time, there is no way to go against Xu Hui.

"I understand what you are saying. Am I such a ignorant person?" Lin Yan was helpless, "I just went to discuss something with Xu Hui. Oh, by the way, Xu Hui became an A-level profound practitioner, and I invited him to dinner to celebrate. Why? No one said anything.”

Shui Sheng was shocked at first, and then became happy, "When did he break through? With one more A-level mystic, the alliance's top strength will be greatly increased."

You must know that in the past ten years, there were only two A-level practitioners, Lan Yue and Lin Yan, while Xu Hui quietly became a top master.

If this news gets out, those who secretly set things off for Xu Hui will be frightened to death.

With only the A-level mystic, it is certain that Xu Hui will enter the core of the alliance.

Lin Yan said with a smile: "He didn't know the exact time. He saw the detector accidentally and tried to test it out of curiosity. Only then did he discover a breakthrough."

"Xu Hui is so arrogant?" Shui Sheng said with a confused expression, "Or is the brain circuit of a genius different from that of us mortals?"

"Who knows, that guy has never been very reliable. However, it is a good thing that he has become an A-level profound practitioner."

Shui Sheng immediately understood, "You can go out and swim with peace of mind."

"Don't say that, I'm going to do business. To be honest, aren't you curious about Tianduan Mountain?"

"I'm curious, but it's a pity that I am self-aware, unlike some people who always think of using power for personal gain." Shui Sheng told the truth, "Xu Hui's strength cannot be exposed yet."

"I think so too."

The two looked at each other and smiled, but they just wanted Xu Hui to suffer more.

Shui Sheng said: "Huang Ying and Lan Yue are not here, you should pay more attention to the Personnel Department and the Military Department." He stared at the Finance Department alone, and did not have the time or energy to take care of other departments.

But as an arbiter, you have to take care of more when other arbiters are absent.

The smile on Lin Yan's face suddenly disappeared, "You said, after so many years, there are no geniuses who can take on big responsibilities. It would be nice to have more people like Xu Hui. When something happens, we have to A few running back and forth.”

"Just be content. It's much better now than it was at the beginning. Last year, Xuanhui's statistics reached more than 200 people. In a few years, they will all be pillars."

Compared with ordinary people, mystics have obvious advantages.Shuisheng felt that unless there were particularly outstanding ordinary people, those who would hold important positions in the future would probably be mysteries.

After all, the Xuanzhe himself is very powerful, not only has the ability to protect himself, but also has a flexible brain, sharp ears and eyes after practicing, and has a long lifespan, so he is better able to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

Even Lin Yan had to admit this. This is the mission of the strong.

Lin Yan suddenly thought of the divine envoys, "Based on the available information, divine envoys are similar to mystical practitioners. There should be quite a few divine envoys on Tianduan Mountain. We only have more than 1000 mystical practitioners, so we are not safe at all. We still have to find other ways to enhance the strength of the alliance.”

"Increase the number of soldiers. Even if ordinary people are not strong enough, but there are too many people and they are equipped with hot weapons, they will not be able to withstand the arrival of the gods."

"This is a way. The alliance is already doing this." Lin Yan was not thinking about this. "We can start from other aspects, such as the power of technology. Things like warning devices can play a very good role in defense. , we can develop offensive equipment specifically to deal with the angels."

"When I see the divine envoy, I will do some research and find out the weaknesses of the divine envoy and take advantage of them. Isn't it a waste of money? There is no need to fight the divine envoy desperately. We have one more attack method. No matter how many divine envoys come, we will not be afraid."

Shui Sheng's eyes lit up, and he was naturally supportive.

He had criticized Lin Yan for leaving before, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that it would be best to let her go.
