Chapter 195: Resettlement of New Population
Under everyone's attention, a team of lights came out of the city gate.
With their appearance, under the night, the city walls that seemed extremely dim were also illuminated by brighter rays of light.
At the same time, it also reflects the appearance of the two groups of people.
The attention of all the second group of survivors who had just arrived was attracted by the group of people pouring out of the city, or by the light they brought.
No one noticed that the beasts who were stopped by the soldiers didn't know what they were sensing, and they all showed expressions of fear and fear, and then their footsteps began to silently retreat, until their figures were mostly covered by the dense woods. Immediately turned around and ran away from here as if escaping.
The sound of escaping each other has attracted the attention of the guard soldiers, but they just glanced coldly, without any intention of chasing forward.
The Lord's order is for them to guard, not to hunt.
Therefore, until the Lord Lord issues a new order, they will naturally stick to their posts and pursue them without prejudice to prevent damage to the defensive line.
"Their leader, is that little girl?"
"It should be." A
small chatter sounded among the hundreds of thousands of people, so that few people noticed.
However, Gu Mi, who was walking at the front of the team, was almost surrounded by many lords and walked out of the city gate, but Gu Mi seemed to have sensed it.
With just one glance, the hearts of everyone within her field of vision shuddered, and the timid ones almost fell to the ground, relying on the support of the people around them to stand firm in front of them.
Not that they are timid.
In fact, the little girl's eyes seemed plain, but she felt more frightening than the ferocious giant beasts just now.
At that moment, almost everyone was triggered by their survival instinct, and their whole body's perception and senses were screaming frantically, urging them to run away as far as possible. Don't provoke this person, otherwise they will be arrested. Killed!
But no matter how urging their survival instincts, their bodies could only stand still.
It's not that they don't want to escape, it's that they can't escape at all.
Fortunately, the other party quickly looked away and realized something, and took the initiative to restrain his breath as much as possible.
Looking at it this way, she seems to be an ordinary and harmless little girl.
However, the old people who had just been frightened didn't think so, and they all looked at her openly and secretly, as if they were looking at some kind of beast.
'Accidentally scared people. ' Gu Mi thought a little apologetically.
She didn't do it on purpose, but she just got out of a completely dark environment, and then faced a series of changes in the new year, so her emotions were inevitably a little heavy, and her unintentionally revealed aura looked a little scary. .
In fact, for the citizens of the Hope Territory, the powerful aura of Lord Lord does not make everyone feel afraid, but has a sense of security that is very reassuring and wants to rely on.
After all, the stronger the Lord is, the safer they are.
Just a direct equation.
But for these middle-aged and elderly people who have just come to this world, it is not the case.
First of all, they don't understand the terribleness of this world, and secondly, they are too weak.
It is normal for weak beings to be instinctively afraid of powerful beings.
Therefore, Gu Mi has no intention of correcting her image in front of this new group of people. It can even be said that she is deliberately maintaining a certain degree of deterrence in order to establish her own prestige.
After all, she will receive these 800,000 people next. If she can't establish her prestige as a lord from the beginning, it will not be easy to manage so many people in the future.
"Everyone..."
Before Gu Mi spoke, he glanced at Pei'er beside him. Pei'er understood and used her talent of the merman race to give her a loudspeaker boost.
So when Gu Mi spoke, everyone in the area could clearly hear her voice.
Everyone involuntarily turned their attention to her.
Under the eyes of hundreds of thousands of people, Gu Mi calmly introduced himself first: "I'm the lord of the Hope Territory, Gu Mi."
"I welcome you to our territory, as to why you came to this place. , I think, I can give you an accurate answer later. But it is very late now, and the winter is cold, and some people are frozen and damaged. Please keep order and quiet, and follow the arrangements of the personnel in our territory. Enter the territory in an orderly manner and settle down temporarily." After
saying that, Gu Mi directly gave this group of people permission to temporarily enter the territory, and signaled that the old village chief and others beside him should start work.
Except for the young children and the elderly who were left in the territory, the other territorial residents responded positively to the Lord's orders and came to act as temporary volunteers. into their territory.
800,000 people, hoping that the territory can accommodate it, but the habitable buildings in their territory cannot accommodate it.
Not counting other occupied houses, the only vacant houses that can be vacated in the Hope Territory are the 3,000 primary dwellings built by Gu Mi a few days ago, and 20 senior dwellings specially set up as welfare resettlement housing.
The primary residence is a one-bedroom, one-hall pattern.
The room and the living room each have an area of about 20 square meters. If all the furniture inside is removed and people sleep together on the floor, almost a room can sleep more than ten people, a set of primary dwellings. It can accommodate twenty people.
This is in a crowded situation.
However, even so, plus the 20 high-end residential houses with more rooms, it can only accommodate 60,000 to 70,000 people at most, and if you work hard, you may be able to accommodate 80,000 to 90,000 people.
But what about the remaining 700,000 people?
If it's okay in summer, you can just sleep outside, but it's winter now, I hope the outdoor temperature in the territory is minus seven degrees!
Even if there is no snow around the territory during this time, at this temperature, people, especially a group of weak old people, are allowed to sleep outside. Is it because they are afraid that they will not die fast enough?
So Gu Mi could only think of another way.
Without thinking for too long, she immediately instructed the old village chief and others: "Open all libraries, sports halls, the first to second floors of the township center, hospital halls, school classrooms, orphanages, nurseries and other places, and arrange for these people to live first. Go in, you can live as many people as you can, it is really impossible to live in, and then ask the residents for their opinions to see if each household is willing to accept a part of the new population to live in their homes temporarily, and the territory they are willing to accept will be given to each person per person. The subsidy of 1 copper coin per day does not need them to be responsible for those people's meals."
The subsidy offered by Don Gu Mi is only 1 copper coin per person per day, which seems to be pitiful.
But in fact, in their territory, if the residents want to rent one of the bedrooms in the residence, they only need 10 copper coins per month.
So the price of 1 copper coin per day for taking in one person is already very exciting.
There are those who are active and have begun to discuss with their roommates who share a residential house with them, asking if they can temporarily move in and squeeze with their roommates, while their rooms are vacated to accommodate a few newcomers, and the subsidy they will receive will be divided equally between the two. .
If they were more greedy, they could also vacate the living room to accommodate a few more people and increase their income for each other.
They are also not afraid of taking in too many people and causing trouble.
To put it in a nasty way, this group of newcomers are all so weak that even any two-year-old child in their territory can easily beat them to the ground, not to mention that those who have such thoughts are basically adults, adults. Strength will only get stronger.
All of this group of people can't stand the attack of one of their skills, and they are not afraid at all.
Based on this, there were quite a lot of people who expressed their willingness to take in these newcomers, which really surprised Gu Mi.
Even if she knew that everyone's thoughts didn't care after Zhang Rong's whispered explanation, in fact, she decided to give the subsidy, didn't she have this kind of thinking?
Don't expect others to be willing to do things that don't have benefits, but it's different with benefits.
Anyway, after placing people in other places where people can live as much as possible, there are actually not many people who need to be taken in by the residents, and this is time-limited, so in the end the territory will not pay too much money.
After temporarily bringing people into the territory, and then finding a place to settle down, it does not mean that the matter is over, and there are a lot of things waiting for them in the future.
The first is the cold issue.
The first survivors who have experienced it know that, just entering the survival game, all they can bring in are the three items they got in the first three card draws.
- Skills, equipment, weapons.
And these things are either the lowest-level white-level items or simply have no level, especially equipment.
If you are lucky, you can get a complete set of clothes. If you are unlucky, just go into the survival game naked.
At this point, it can be seen that the system still took care of the second batch of elderly people who were put in.
But this level of care is really limited.
Gu Mi noticed it from the first sight of them appearing.
This group of people is wearing uniform linen clothes, long-sleeved trousers style, the style is very simple, no shoes, no frills, and no class.
This kind of linen clothes is rough and has large weaving gaps, and it leaks air everywhere on the body.
The only role is really just to cover up.
If it wasn't for this, Gu Mi wouldn't have rushed so many people into their territory, and even asked people to arrange shelters that could shelter from the wind and rain. Isn't this because he was afraid that this group of people had just arrived and hadn't played a role yet? Just freeze to death.
Hope the territory moves soon.
Under the circumstance that all the territorial people who could help were dispatched, and the new population was still cooperative, it only took about an hour for the new survivors to be arranged in various buildings temporarily. live.
At the same time, they also got animal skins, wool blankets and other cold-proof materials distributed by the territory.
"This is something that our lord specially ordered to send to you. The two of you have an animal skin or a wool blanket, and line up to get it one by one. Don't fight or grab it, it's enough!" Responsible for distributing cold materials While sending things, the volunteer lords did not forget to spread the word to their lords.
They do not allow their lords to do good deeds without leaving a name!
Because of the distribution of cold-proof materials, there was a lot of noise in each building.
At the same time, the movement outside is not small.
A dozen or so gigantic fine iron cauldrons as tall as one person were placed on the bonfire racks that were not yet burning. More than a dozen chef-like people raised their hands and released various water-based skills inside. , in three or two times, the pot was filled to seven layers full.
Immediately afterwards, the old village chief who was standing next to him waved his hand, and there were dozens of bags of bulging rice grains beside him.
Without any help, he threw a few seeds directly on the ground, and then transported the talent of the forest goblin, spawning the seeds to break out of the ground, growing thick vines, rolling up the rice grains, and opening the grain bags. , poured it into the pot.
Then, without bothering the second master, the old village head continued to instruct the vines to roll up a huge iron spoon that matched the large iron pot, stir and stir inside, and wash the white and brown rice inside.
These are not plain white rice.
There is also a large amount of wheat beans mixed in it. If you really give pure white rice, there are so many people that their territory can't afford it.
After washing these miscellaneous grains, I lifted the iron pot and poured out the rice-washing water. I saw a turtle-like orc standing nearby with a wave, and the water in it automatically swirled out into a stream of water. , under its precise control, all splashed into the distant fields, not a drop wasted.
After washing the rice, the dozen or so cooks who were in charge of cooking poured water into it again, and some of them with fire-type skills helped set all the bonfires alight.
call!
A large flame emerged, and the raging fire continued to burn more than a dozen large pots. The chefs guarding the pot began to add ingredients to it in an orderly manner.
A large number of sweet potatoes are peeled and cut into pieces, thrown in, the animal meat is minced into minced meat and thrown in, the vegetables are washed and cut for later use, and the ginger pieces are shredded and thrown in...
Ginger is added to ward off the cold.
The lord specially instructed to prepare a meal for the newcomers to digest and dispel the cold.
In order to make so many meals in one go, they also pulled out the large iron pot specially made by the old village chief to cook for the frontline soldiers every time the territory resisted the beast tide.
This pot can cook food for thousands of people at the same time, which is extremely powerful!
The distribution of supplies and the cooking of large pots of rice are in full swing over there. Here, Gu Mi is still giving instructions, and he will give instructions to the new population of 800,000 one by one.
Temporary settlement is only a temporary policy, and follow-up arrangements are the top priority.
First, it is necessary for those people to be citizens of their desired territories.
But where are the territorial regulations, if they want to become citizens of the Hope Territory, they must meet the settlement conditions of paying 50 copper coins per person, which is the same for every outsider.
And as for the 800,000 people, the settlement fee they need to pay is not something Gu Mi can get rid of. Provisions.
At this time, Gu Mi was very grateful for his foresight.
do you remember?
From a long time ago, she has obtained a welfare policy for the new immigrants who are penniless or too poor in the territory: the newcomer loan.
Every newcomer can apply to their territory for a newcomer loan totaling 100 copper coins.
But there is a condition that applicants must use the money to become a resident of the territory they want, otherwise the territory will not grant loans and will be ordered to leave at the end of their stay in the territory.
Gu Mi only gave these newcomers three days of temporary residence in the territory. Once the three days are over, if they have not settled down and become residents of the territory they want, they will either pay for the extension of their temporary stay or leave. .
There are so many people, everyone has their own ideas, and Gu Mi knows that it is impossible for him to keep all these people.
There are always some daring people who want to go out on their own and are unwilling to accept the shelter of the Hope Territory.
Gu Mi also respected the wishes of such people.
But as long as they leave, it has nothing to do with their territory. Even if they regret and want to come back, they will be treated the same as refugees from outside. Don't expect any more preferential treatment and care.
