Four hundred and fortieth chapters waiting to be done
Chapter 442: All things to come
Meiying did not choose to leave Dongyu City immediately. Guo Yuqing was going to travel far. Although every girl's family yearned for a wonderful world outside, she was still reluctant to leave her family. She has been with her mother these days.
This was the second day after the war. Guo Lin followed his father, elder brother and second brother to Yongyao City, which was almost turned into ruins. After the underground volcano erupted, although the fire energy behind was absorbed by Guo Lin's demon-sealing ring, before that, a large fire had already spread throughout the city.
Now hundreds of thousands of people in Yongyao City are homeless. Fortunately, it is April. If it is still the cold winter month, I don’t know how many people will die of freezing. If that is the case, Guo Lin will become a sinner.
The four of them came out of Yongyao City, which was full of devastated and broken walls, and then they arrived at the plain outside. Here there were rescue teams spontaneously coming from the satellite city near Yongyao City. A total of 5,000 rescue personnel sent by the three satellite cities were built, scattered with tents, and white tents emerged throughout the spring-filled plain. They brought valuable warmth to the people after the disaster.
However, there were too many victims. Thousands of tents were obviously not enough. Food and water were also in short supply. After the volcano erupted, the water flowing downstream of the river in Yongyao City was no longer usable.
Many victims recognized the Seven-Star Duke who was walking in front and surrounded them.
"Sir, save us."
"Sir Duke, save my grandfather, he is almost dead."
"Sir Duke, the house is gone. How do we live?"
"Sir Duke, I want to eat. I'm hungry." This is a tender voice.
Maybe he can't be called the Seven-Star Duke because even the emperor is dead. A country without a monarch is almost over.
Guo Yun's steps were a little heavy. After all, he was the head of the family who protected the family. Looking at the haggard faces of the common people on the land he was guarding, listening to the crying of women and children from the plains one after another, his heart was like a knife cut. He had not fulfilled his responsibilities. Guo Lin, who was walking behind, could not bear to see the poor people.
The post-disaster reconstruction work must be carried out immediately. People at such moments are very fragile. When they are the weakest, even a steamed bun or a glass of water can be remembered in their hearts.
Following his father to comfort the victims, it was noon in the blink of an eye. In a faraway corner, Guo Lin and his friends saw the Lin family. The Lin family guards were busy running around. Lin Yue was also comforting the civilians. Lin Xiu and the big man Lin Nan seemed to have changed their own person. The disaster caused them to grow a lot.
"Earl Guo. You are here."
As if seeing a savior, Lin Yue comforted the civilians around him and greeted him with sweat. The two heads of the family who were guarding the family held their hands tightly. They all knew their mission at this moment - to take the people they guarded from the sea of suffering.
Guo Yuhao skipped the face of Lin Yue who had become vicissitudes all night and said, "Uncle Lin, we must come up with a plan to comfort the victims as soon as possible."
Lin Yue's eyes flashed with admiration and said, "I'm thinking so. I've been waiting for you all the time. If you don't come, I'm powerless." He looked at Guo Lin beside Guo Yun, with awe in his eyes.
Last night, the sky collapsed and the earth broke, and the volcano erupted. It was caused by the battle. Guo Lin, who participated in the battle, stood here well. There was only one explanation, that is, he won. How terrifying this is. But it is easy to destroy it, and it will be troublesome to rebuild it. Even the powerful man who defied the heavens could suddenly turn into a city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people?
Lin Yue led the four members of the Guo family to the Lin family's tent. These tents were purchased by the Lin family's guards from major cities overnight. The cost of transmitting the scrolls alone cost a lot of money.
The Lin family guards saluted respectfully and opened the curtains for Guo Lin and the others. The few of them bent their waists and walked in. Lin Yue, Lin Nan and Lin Xiu followed behind.
The temporary tents were relatively simple. They were all beds and there were no tables. The Lin family was like this, let alone those civilians. In special times, everyone was not particular. They sat around and sat on the ground.
Guo Lin asked: "Uncle Lin, how many people are there in the plain? Have you sent someone to count it?"
Lin Yue said: "The people who can join relatives and friends have all left. There are nearly 200,000 people on the plain now. The time is too short, and I have not counted the specific numbers."
Guo Yuhao dragged his chin and said, "Two hundred thousand people, but a lot. Yongyao City cannot live in people. It is not a solution for these people to live in tents outside. Father, we can either evacuate all the victims to various cities. On the Seven Star Plain, Kaiming City, Shuguang City, Ouchi City... It is not difficult to take in 20,000 refugees in each city."
Guo Yun said: "There are many cities in Xia Kingdom, including the Zhendong Plain in the east, and several cities in the west and south, which can accommodate the victims. However, the property of the victims almost turned into ashes in the fire. Hundreds of thousands of people's food and drink must be solved. These comfort fees are not small amounts. They need to be solved."
Lin Yue, Lin Nan and others also showed signs of difficulties. Yesterday, something happened suddenly. Not to mention ordinary people, even the Lin family did not steal much property.
Moreover, even if 200,000 people were settled in nearly twenty big cities in Xia Kingdom on average. Where do they live? It is obviously unrealistic to live in hotels every day. To build a settlement house, this is money.
However, the treasury of Xia State was burned to ashes in the fire. The losses of Yongyao City were hundreds of millions.
Guo Lin asked: "Father, how much does it cost if the settlement fee is calculated per person?"
Guo Yun said: "Based on the average annual income in Yongyao City, each person has 50,000 gold coins. Including the later construction of the settlement house, it is calculated as 100,000 gold coins per person." Guo Yun sighed, 200,000 people, 100,000 gold coins per person. This money is an astronomical figure.
"Each person has 100,000 gold coins, 200,000 people is 20 billion. If it is converted into Tianli coins, it is 40,000 Tianli coins." Guo Lin calculated silently that it was only 40,000 Tianli coins. He could take it out.
Guo Lin smiled and said, "Father, don't worry about money, I'll solve it. Let's arrange other things." As soon as this said, everyone in the tent was shocked. The 20 billion gold coins, even if the national treasury is still there, may not be able to be taken out at once. There are people who need to mobilize national donations.
Everyone was stunned for a while, Guo Lin was too relaxed. Guo Yun reacted first and then said, "San'er, I almost forgot you. You didn't blink at the beginning and took out 2 billion military funds to help me reorganize the Guo family."
This made the Lin family look at each other. Only then did they realize how much role Guo Lin played in the revenge battle of the Seven Star Plain.
Guo Yuhao said: "If the funding matter is resolved, it will be easy to deal with. However, there will be a lot of people to settle down next. Father, please transfer the Guo family army from the north."
Guo Yun frowned and said, "How can the Guo family army begs the north? How can they be mobilized at will? If it weren't for suppressing the rebels last time, I wouldn't have moved them. I've lost the Beidou Pass once, and I must not lose it a second time."
Guo Lin said: "Father, it doesn't matter. I can guarantee that something will happen to Beidou Pass." He smiled, and saw the confused expressions of people around him, in order to relieve everyone, he had to shrugge, "Father, do you remember what I said to you in Rong'an City, Shangguo?"
Guo Zhize's eyes lit up and said, "Third brother, you said you were going to marry the Princess of Shang Kingdom. How did you do later?"
Guo Lin smiled and said, "A little accident happened, the wedding was not completed. But the princess is now my woman. And her sister, Her Majesty the Queen of Shang Kingdom, is almost my woman. So there is no need to worry about things in the north. Father, just transfer the Guo family army here."
Just as everyone was digesting the shocking news that Guo Lin said, there was a noise outside the tent. After a while, a guard of the Lin family army came in from outside and reported: "General, there are two people who claim to be Young Master Guo Lin, who are going to come in to find their boss."
I thought it might be the little prince and Feng Zhongxiao. It was really just right. Guo Lin smiled slightly and said, "Call them in."
Lin Yue nodded and said to the guards: "Let them in."
"Yes, General."
Yao Jian, the little prince with a jade face, walked in first and said, "Boss, you are indeed here. The wind stuttered for a long time before he said he saw you."
For some reason, when Guo Lin saw the little prince, he wanted to laugh. Maybe he was impressed by his chrysanthemums. "Prince, where is Brother Feng?"
The curtain of the tent was opened again, and the blushed face roared in.
Seeing that his two younger brothers stood here intact, Guo Lin felt much better.
"Prince, Brother Feng, come and sit together."
"Your Highness Prince Yao." Lin Yue recognized the person and wanted to get up to salute, but was held down by Guo Lin. "Uncle Lin, don't be dissatisfied. The prince is his own."
The little prince smiled and sat down next to Guo Lin and said, "Brother is right. Don't treat me as an outsider."
At this time, Lin Yue discovered that Guo Lin, who had only not seen him for three years, had reached an incredible level in terms of means, strength, and relationship network.
The queen of the Shang Kingdom in the north was his woman, and the prince of the Lanxi Kingdom in the south was his younger brother. Rumors were that Zhu Sheng, the crown prince of the Moro State, gave up the game. The energy of the third son of the Guo family was shocking. Now that the royal family in the Xia Kingdom has been destroyed, the only guardian family is left to the Lin family and Guo family.
A new emperor will definitely be born among the two major families. Compared with Guo Lin, who is as outstanding as a monster, his two sons are simply pussy. Lin Yue sighed. It seems that the new royal family of Xia Guo is the Guo family.
Guo Yun pondered: "Now the Xia Kingdom's vitality is severely damaged and everything is in trouble. What I worry most is the pass in the north. Although the royal family of Moro is afraid of San'er, they do not guarantee that they will not be dazed and take the opportunity to attack our Xia Kingdom. After the destruction of the Wang family army, the pass in the north has been in a vacuum state. We must solve this problem immediately."
