Lin Mo glanced at the bounty poster, sneered, and picked up a pen to write down the first mission for the Mission Bureau.

On the same day, a new notice was posted at the entrance of the Mission Bureau, clearly listing the prices for each level of the Sun Moon Cult.

Ten points for an ordinary disciple can be exchanged for a thirty-day stay in Lianhai County;

A junior leader earns 20 points, which can be redeemed for a three-month stay, plus a voucher for early access to new products at a state-run store.

Fifty points earned by a Dharma Protector or higher can be redeemed for a one-year stay permit plus three early access purchase vouchers.

As for the head of the Sun Moon Cult leader, one thousand points will grant him permanent residency, which his children can inherit.

The notice also included a crucial provision: during missions outside the area, the pass would be automatically suspended, meaning that no matter how long the chase lasted, the gates of Lianhai County would remain open upon return.

The news spread outwards from Lianhai County, reaching the entire Great Xia Kingdom along official roads, post stations, and caravans.

In an instant, the disciples of the Sun Moon Sect once again became the most valuable prey in the entire martial arts world.

The rogue cultivators who were still hesitating and observing in Lianhai County left the city overnight to pursue and kill them, leaving most of the inns in Cangwu County and Lianhai County empty.

When the news reached other prefectures, a large number of martial arts practitioners flocked to the area.

Within a month, four of the Sun Moon Cult's branches in various states were destroyed, and the disciples went into hiding. Many branches of the main altar lost contact and became complete cowards.

At the same time, the financial pressure on Lianhai County is also quietly emerging.

Mines, factories, military camps, schools, hospitals, ports—everywhere you look, there are places to spend money.

Although Lin Mo had studied some finance before, he was simply overwhelmed with the current scale of his business, and with military and urban construction responsibilities also on his mind.

He leaned back in his study chair, gazing at the ever-growing map on the wall, and couldn't help but rub his temples, muttering to himself:

"I originally came here to have some fun, but now I'm busy approving documents all day, like a working stiff. I don't even have time to indulge in debauchery during the day!"

No, I need to find someone to help me!

With a thought, Lin Mo returned to the main world.

When they arrived at the warehouse office, Su Qing was not there. Yang Liu's only son was sitting in front of the computer checking the accounts for the sales of the pills. A stack of invoices and bank receipts were spread out in front of him, and a half-finished glass of fresh milk was beside him.

Lin Mo came to the sofa and waved to her.

Yang Liu immediately put down her work and sat down in Lin Mo's lap.

"Auntie, can you do me a favor?"

"OK!"

As she spoke, Yang Liu put her hair up in a bun.

Lin Mo quickly pulled her back as she bent down:

That's not what I meant!

"That...what?"

"That's how it is..."

Lin Mo told her about his ability to travel to another world and briefly described the current situation in Lianhai County.

With a population of over 8,000, two counties, an army, factories, and mines, the only thing missing was someone who could manage the accounts.

Yang Liu stared at Lin Mo in a daze for a long time:

"Are you kidding me?"

"Of course not!"

"It's unbelievable! Everything depicted in the short film is real!"

"So, would you be willing to help me?"

"Sure, but you'd better check if my elementary school education is genuine first!"

"How about another day?"

"No!"

"Oh well!"

After a thorough examination, Yang Liu nodded in satisfaction:

"I promise you! I'll work for you no matter where I am, just pay me a salary!"

"Thank you, Auntie! You're such a great help to me!"

"Don't thank me yet. Although I'll be working for you over there, the working hours will still be the same."

Besides, you have to drive me home every day after get off work, because I need to take care of Xiaojing!

"no problem!"

"Let's go then. Take me to see what this Lianhai County you mentioned is like. I'm very curious too!"

"Okay, but Auntie, look me in the eyes first!"

As Lin Mo spoke, he cupped Yang Liu's face in his hands and activated the Mind-Bending Technique.

Although Yang Liu has now been conquered by her and with the blessing of Yin-Yang Skill, she is unlikely to betray her, but it's still better to be careful!

After all, being able to travel to other worlds is one of his biggest secrets!

After completing the memory modification, Lin Mo took Yang Liu and traveled to the Lianhai County Government Office in World One.

Yang Liu stood in the back office of the county government and looked out through the glass window for a long time.

The cement city walls gleamed with a light gray light in the sunlight, and the glass streetlights on both sides of the street were neat and uniform.

In the distance, the factory chimneys emitted wisps of gray smoke, and the mast of the massive, iron-gray ship could be vaguely seen in the direction of the port.

"It's developing quite well; it's starting to feel like a modern era!"

"Is that so?"

Lin Mo smiled and glanced out the window, feeling quite accomplished.

"Are you going to be an emperor someday?"

"Probably!"

"That's settled then, the Empress's position is mine!"

"No problem, after all, you're my first woman besides Xiaojing!"

Yang Liu rolled her eyes at Lin Mo:

"I told you not to mention Xiaojing when we're together, why do you keep bringing her up!"

"That's exciting!"

"boring!"

As she spoke, Yang Liu turned around and sat down at the table.

"This must be the ledger, right?"

"right!"

Yang Liu stopped talking and lowered her head to look through the account book.

The more she looked, the more her brows furrowed. When she turned to the third page, she finally couldn't help but look up, tapping the account page with her finger, her tone filled with barely suppressed frustration:

"This account is a complete mess."

Who remembered this? How come there's not even a loan-to-deposit balance?

Income and expenditure are mixed together, and inventory and cash are not distinguished. When a sum of money comes in, it is recorded on the left, and two pages later, the same sum of money is recorded on the right!

This isn't bookkeeping; it's just scribbles.

Go find me four people who can write, and preferably know a little arithmetic.

I started by establishing double-entry bookkeeping, then trained four full-time cashiers and accountants, and gradually built a financial system with separate lines for income and expenditure.

Within a month, I guarantee that every single transaction of silver in and out of Lianhai County will be traceable.
