The northern area of the new town is Changpai Village, now renamed Changpai District, with the Changpai Village dike above it.

As the saying goes, "Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water to eat the water." How can you not eat from the Tianjiang River when you are close to it?

In fact, the residents of the new town have long thought of this method.

However, there is a reason why no one has fished in the Tianjiang River, which is such a large river.

The flow of the Tianjiang River is very fast, the river is too wide, the river carries sand, the riverbed is too deep, and most of the fish are in the middle and bottom of the river. Small-scale fishing is not efficient, and large-scale fishing requires deep nets, which is too costly and easily leads to losses.

So, although the fish resources in the Tianjiang River are abundant, no one has ever gone to fish.

The residents of the new town have also tried, but the efficiency is not high. Thirty-something people catch less than 100 catties of fish in a day, averaging a little over three catties per person.

The main problem is that the water flow is too fast, which significantly increases the cost of fishing, making it a high-risk, low-yield, or even negative-yield activity.

But for Lin Wen, it is not a difficult problem to solve.

What to do with the fast water flow?

Widen the river!

The other side of the Tianjiang River is close to the Yunxiao Mountains. I can just blow up the mountain.

This way, won't the waterway be wider? Won't the water flow be slower? Won't the fish gather?

All the fish in the entire river, won't they all be mine?

It just so happens that Changshan County also lacks food, and this food has come.

One answer directly solves two problems.

Asking questions is indeed an art.

"Ahahaha! I've got it!"

Lin Wen laughed out loud, jumped up, and met Ji Fuxiao's hopeful eyes, and said a method that no one could understand, living up to everyone's expectations.

"Establish the Tianjiang Fisheries Company and establish the Changshan County Social Food Factory."

"I've caught the fish in the Tianjiang River! Even the Heavenly King can't save it! I said it!"

There really are some ignorant people who raised objections.

"Don't talk nonsense, go to work!"

"This is part of the plan!"

Although most people couldn't understand, Sheriff Lin's orders were the highest command, and the bureaucratic machine of Changshan County began to operate at high speed.

After being repaired and oiled by Xia Xiaoxiang, this machine became very smooth.

Qin Luoshuang, who was holding a large hammer on the side, made it very obedient, and the central CNC computer of the machine was highly efficient and could fully drive its large components.

And Lin Wen is the unscrupulous capitalist who rules this machine, always only giving orders and enjoying the results.

But sometimes, he is like a brave and fearless worker, charging ahead and smashing anything that dares to stop them.

These two completely contradictory identities make Lin Wen's figure become hazy and blurry, and even the people closest to him cannot see his true face.

Although Qin Luoshuang supports any plan of Lin Wen, she has no confidence in her heart.

Xiao Xiao and Lei Tiantong are even more worried.

Only Ji Fuxiao is full of unconditional trust in Lin Wen. She has experienced the entire process of disaster relief, witnessed everything Lin Wen has done, and firmly believes that this man can create any miracle.

"Great! Sheriff Lin is truly amazing...sob, I should have come to find you earlier..."

She wiped away her tears, thinking she had found a savior.

While everyone was busy, Lin Wen was not idle either.

He ordered Qin Luoshuang to borrow a hundred mortars from Fang Dashan and come over tomorrow to blast open the Yunxiao Mountains and smash the large rocks that hinder the development of Changshan County.

Although Qin Luoshuang executed the order, she still told him a terrible fact:

"The surface of the Tianjiang River is two kilometers wide. If we want to reduce the flow of the Tianjiang River to a reasonable level, we need to widen it by at least one kilometer. In other words, we need to blast a one-kilometer deep pit in the Yunxiao Mountains. If we want to fish, we need at least one kilometer in length. And the water depth near Changpai Village is over fifty meters, and the mountain under the water is also fifty meters deep."

"A kilometer long, a kilometer deep, fifty meters underwater, all rocky mountains, it is estimated that we will need at least over a hundred thousand shells."

Lin Wen smiled slightly.

"Narrow-minded. Fengchu, what one kilometer, fifty meters? I want it to be large, I want it to be thick, starting with a minimum of three kilometers up and down. Don't think it's too much. If you're not happy in the future and have free time, I'll come to blast the mountain."

"This is the unique fishing ground of Changshan County!"

After speaking, he turned and left, riding his beloved motorcycle into the night, leaving behind a cloud of dust.

Qin Luoshuang inexplicably gained some confidence and went back to prepare the cannons.

Xiao Xiao and Lei Tiantong went to build the framework of these two companies. This is another enterprise directly under the jurisdiction of the Changshan County Government, all managed by the Development and Reform Commission.

The Imperial Capital Office (Imperial Capital Asset Management Office) is now a subordinate department of the Development and Reform Commission, and all official enterprises are under its management.

Ji Fuxiao and Little Li eagerly returned to the new town to organize personnel.

Old Xie started a large-scale purchase again. According to Lin Wen's orders, he urgently needed to purchase large fishing boats, fishing tools, various related facilities, and all the production lines for fish products processing.

The mayors of various towns also returned to mobilize people. They will decide whether to join the Tianjiang Fisheries Company or the Changshan County Social Food Factory based on their geographical location.Lin Wen rode his motorcycle wildly in the night, with the "Spirit Cat's Agility" and "Sight Without Eyes" activated, the throttle never let up. On the rugged mountain road, the motorcycle sped like a plane.

After a moment, Lin Wen returned to the familiar foot of the Changshan County dike.

He climbed onto the dike, looking out into the night, and in the darkness, the Tianjiang River seemed to pounce like a demon ready to devour people.

The river was two kilometers wide, with surging water, and on the opposite side were towering cliffs, like a monstrous and terrifying creature in the dark.

Lin Wen laughed and jumped into the river.

"Harmonious with Fish and Water."

Lin Wen quickly sank to the bottom of the river, the turbid water and darkness did not bother him at all, and the violent water flowed past him like a lover's caress.

Sure enough, the lower layer of water flowed more slowly than the upper layer.

Lin Wen looked around.

He did find quite a few fish, they were large in size, swimming freely in the water, and when tired, they would burrow into the sand.

Lin Wen reached out and caught a silver fish that weighed at least three catties. The big guy struggled frantically in his hand, but could not break free from Lin Wen's control.

After observing carefully for a while, Lin Wen let go, and the big guy disappeared with a flick of its tail.

Lin Wen sank to the bottom of the river, stomped his foot, and more than a dozen large fish were startled from the silt, each weighing at least three catties.

Not bad.

It seems that the Tianjiang River is still in its natural state, completely undeveloped.

If only I fish alone, it shouldn't cause any damage to the ecosystem.

Lin Wen kicked his legs and swam quickly over a distance of two kilometers, touching the bottom of the river.

Above was the Yunxiao Mountain Range, which blocked the entire northern part of Changshan County. With an average height of over 1500 meters, a total length of over 1200 kilometers, a width of 200-500 kilometers, narrow in the east and wide in the west, and a total area of over 30,000 square kilometers, it was the second largest mountain range in the empire.

Today, this second largest mountain range was going to bleed.

Lin Wen bent down, placed his hand on the bottom of the mountain, and activated "Fossil to Soil."

Invisible green light swept across like a scythe, turning all the rocks it encountered into soil.

The river water washed away the soil, seeping into the mountain, and a large number of bubbles emerged from the bottom of the water, only to be washed away by the rushing current in an instant.

After using one spell, Lin Wen cut a semicircular cut with a radius of 62 meters and a height of 0.5 meters at the bottom of the mountain, turning over 3000 cubic meters of stone into soil.

He still had 99% of his primordial spirit left, and after resting for a while, he could use four spells. With each spell containing over 3000 cubic meters, according to the volume formula of a semicylinder, he could only cut a semicircle with a radius of up to 145 meters.

Compared to the three-kilometer-long and wide opening he calculated, it was definitely not enough.

So, the next four spells could not be circular, only linear, just like in the construction of a mountain building complex, cutting the entire mountain base like tofu, to see if it would cause a collapse, and then decide on the next step.

With a total of over 12,000 cubic meters, Lin Wen cut over 600 crisscrossing lines, and the entire bottom of the mountain looked like it had been dug over by countless moles, full of large holes.

Unfortunately, the mountain was still quite solid, and there was no landslide or collapse.

Only the cannon could do it.

Thinking this, Lin Wen swam back to the shore and slept by the dike.

Not long after the sun rose, Qin Luoshuang dragged the cannons from Fang Dashan over, a hundred mortars lined up on the embankment, giving off a feeling of autumn wind and a battlefield.

This dike had already been reinforced by Lin Wen, so he was not worried that the shock of the cannon fire would affect the dike.

As soon as Fang Dashan heard that Lin Wen was going to use cannons to blast the mountain, he sent all the new recruits over.

This was a rare opportunity for training.

Before firing the cannons, Qin Luoshuang came over again to confirm with Lin Wen.

"Although we have captured many mortars, we have very few ammunition, only a total of over 3000 cannonballs. These specially made cannonballs are not available for purchase, and once they're used up, there won't be any left."

"Fire."

Lin Wen said only two words briefly.

Qin Luoshuang didn't waste any more words and ordered the cannons to fire.

After a moment, a hundred mortars roared in unison, the deafening sound echoing across the river, 120mm shells hitting the cliffs 2000 meters away, causing a huge explosion.

The flying debris, collapsing cliffs, and huge rocks falling into the river, splashing waves tens of meters high.

But when the smoke cleared, it seemed that the thunderous scene had not caused much damage to the towering giant.

Qin Luoshuang looked at Lin Wen with a questioning look.

Lin Wen gave her only one answer: "Continue firing."

So, the second round, the third round, and the fourth round of cannon fire came one after another, and by the end of the fifth round of cannon fire, even those who were most confident in Sheriff Lin couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Five rounds of cannon fire, five hundred heavy cannons, hitting the mountain wall, seemed to have only caused a slight scratch on this giant.

When Lin Wen gave the order for the sixth round of cannon fire, some officials couldn't help but shout, "Stop firing, isn't this a waste of cannonballs?"

It was Qin Luoshuang, who had always been skeptical, who ordered the fire again without hesitation.

Boom!

Another hundred cannonballs fell on the mountain wall. This round of cannon fire had a different effect, the entire mountain wall began to crack, the cracks rapidly expanded, and with the speed of thunder, it caused the collapse of the mountain.This was a mountain peak over a thousand meters tall. Its collapse rapidly expanded, triggering a chain reaction. Million-ton boulders fell from the sky, smashing into the river and sending up waves that nearly obscured the heavens. Even those standing on the embankment two kilometers away could feel the spray on their faces.

The collapse lasted for over ten minutes before it ceased. When the spray settled, the drenched crowd saw that the towering, immovable Yunxiao Mountain Range now had a gaping hole in its midst, with river water surging into it.

Dozens of officials and hundreds of soldiers on the dam burst into applause, one of them shouting excitedly, "Sheriff Lin, let's continue the bombardment!"

"That's right, blast the hell out of it!"

However, at this moment, Lin Wen ordered the work to stop.

"Come back tomorrow."

With that, Lin Wen left.

——

The location for the food factory was quickly determined. After considering various factors, it was chosen to be near the northern district of the new town, just about a hundred meters away from the Tian River, on an open space.

Lin Wen did not ask Zhao Gongming to send laborers to build the factory; instead, he directly hired 300,000 residents of the new town to construct this socialist mega-factory.

Thirty yuan a day, meals included but no accommodation.

Just like during the disaster relief, even the division of labor was ready-made: able-bodied adults worked on the construction site, while women handled logistics.

And it was even simpler than before. Lin Wen specifically instructed that there was no need to lay foundations, just to dig for drainage and leave pipes, and to pile up the factory buildings with mud.

Once again, the construction site was bustling with activity, and when Lin Wen appeared on-site, cheers resounded across the wilderness.

Just like the days of rebuilding their homes in the past, Lin Wen took the lead in working.

As the familiar chant rang out, everyone was moved to tears, as if they had returned to those passionate days of building their homeland together.

Ji Fuxiao and Little Li, two men of great emotion, were in tears, joining in the brick-moving work amidst the orderly chants.

As night fell and the evening breeze blew, steaming hot meals were served once again, and the sonorous singing echoed anew.

Many felt as if they were dreaming, in a trance, as if a period of time was missing from their lives.

It was not until Lin Wen announced that after the completion of the Changshan County Food Factory, everyone would be offered jobs, that they realized this was a new chapter in history.

Last time, it was for their new homes.

This time, it was for their future.

——

Late at night, after a brief rest, Lin Wen's spirit had recovered a bit.

He used "Fish and Water Integration" again, diving into the river to see the riverbed littered with large stones, the highest of which was over twenty meters.

Most of the boulders were cracked, and the Yunxiao Mountain Range had been blasted into a hole over a hundred meters in radius, but Lin Wen knew this was the limit.

The mountain was much sturdier than expected, and it was difficult to bring it down by merely cutting a part of the foundation.

He needed to exert more force.

Lin Wen went ashore and moved the explosives prepared by Qin Luoshuang, which could be detonated underwater, and stuffed them evenly into the large hole he had cut.

All night, Lin Wen worked on blasting the foundation of the mountain range underwater, hollowing out an area of several tens of thousands of square meters.

By day.

The bombardment continued, this time with a new batch of soldiers. Fang Dashan treated this as a means of rotating and training troops.
