survival in the wilderness

Chapter 432 Five River City

Before Lin Yan could figure it out, the noise outside the courtyard woke her up.

Ma Fang rushed in and said anxiously: "Chairman, the news that the food has arrived has spread, and everyone in Yuncheng has come here."

Like a pack of wolves that have been hungry for a long time, nothing can stop them.

The city that was still dead an hour ago suddenly came back to life.

"Let people maintain order and discourage people from going back. Once they break in, they will be suppressed by force."

Lin Yan quickly ordered that today's Yuncheng cannot withstand any disturbances, people have been hungry for a long time, and they can do anything.

The supplies transported by the convoy seem to be a lot, but it is far from enough to supply several 10 people. If they are looted, it will be even more chaotic.

Before Lin Yan could go out, Shi Zhi had rushed to the door and said loudly, "Everyone be quiet, listen to me."

Such a situation is not unfamiliar to him at all, it happens every few days.

Outside the gate, teams of soldiers were waiting in formation, only waiting for an order to draw their sharp knives out of their sheaths.

The chaotic crowd gradually quieted down in front of sharp knives.

Lin Yan came out at this time. She stood beside Shi Zhi and watched the crowd crowd and confront each other.

The clothes are scant, and the exposed skin is covered with frostbite and dirt, and the picture is very shocking.

Today, the city under the alliance's governance still has such a side, and Lin Yan has been greatly impacted.

Someone shouted: "There is food, why don't you give it to us?"

"That's right, it's too cruel to watch us starve to death."

"We must give us an explanation today."

"We won't leave unless we get food."

……

Someone took the lead, and the scene seemed to be chaotic again.

Lan Xing stood at the front and said loudly: "Don't shout, shut up."

"You guys make trouble again and again, you really think it's easy for us to talk. I put my words here, whoever dares to make trouble again, will never show mercy."

Lan Xing was furious, this is a group of disobedient savages, making trouble every now and then, as if they didn't dare to do anything.

He just found out that Lin Yan was here, and before he had time to see him, he was interrupted by these troublemakers.

Lan Xing felt guilty for letting Lin Yan see the chaos in Yuncheng.He felt that Lin Yan came all the way here and shouldn't have seen such a scene.

Seeing that today is different from the past, Xu Yeshan squeezed out from the crowd, faced Shi Zhi and said, "The food has arrived, how did you arrange it?"

He also understood Shi Zhi's embarrassment, but so many people were starving and couldn't afford to wait.

Lan Xing stood in front of Xu Yeshan, with a fierce look on his face, "The food has just arrived, and we still have to wait for arrangements. Patriarch Xu, you also know the situation in Yuncheng, so please dissuade these people."

Xu Yeshan has prestige in front of the low-level people, so a word from him is still useful.

Blue Star lowered his voice, "The food is here, and a big man has come to the alliance. He will definitely solve the problem in Yuncheng. You let these people withdraw first. If you leave a bad impression on the big man in the alliance, it will be difficult to change it later. gone."

Xu Yeshan looked at Lin Yan who was beside Shi Zhi. She didn't say a word, but daring to stand with Shi Zhi was a silent declaration.

What Blue Star said made sense. The alliance did not leave Yuncheng alone, and there would always be a solution.If there is a riot, those soldiers will be serious, and the rioters will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Xu Yeshan made a decision in an instant, and turned to face the crowd, "Listen to me, everyone, go home first. When the food arrives, you have to leave time to arrange the distribution. Making such a fuss will only delay the time. If you want to get the food quickly, go home wait."

"I, Xu Yeshan, keep my word. Everyone, go back quickly. The City Lord's Mansion will definitely not let you go hungry."

The crowd was silent for a while, and someone gave Xu Ye some face and turned away.

Gradually, the crowded crowd slowly dispersed.

Xu Yeshan knew that this was only temporary and the delay would not last long.

In the council hall of the City Lord's Mansion, more than a dozen people sat around to discuss matters.

Xu Yeshan looked at Lin Yan, thinking that he was too young, and the Sun Alliance's affairs were really unpredictable. They were all led by a group of young people, which was beyond his imagination.

Just now when Shi Zhi introduced Lin Yan's identity, everyone in Yuncheng was shocked.

It was already surprising that Shi Zhizhi was the commander-in-chief, but the chairman of the Sun Alliance was so young and a woman, that she rushed to Yuncheng in person.

Several people from Yuncheng, including Xu Yeshan, did not expect this at all.

Since Lan Xing was transferred to Yuncheng, in charge of the security of Yuncheng, he became familiar with the locals very quickly.

He introduced Xu Yeshan, Guan Yun, Ma Jun and others to Lin Yan. These people were all successful in capturing Yuncheng, and now they hold some positions.

After capturing Yuncheng, Shi Zhi quickly formed a leadership team for Yuncheng, with him personally serving as the city lord, Lan Xing as the person in charge of the garrison, and Ye Cong also appointed by him to manage government affairs.

Lin Yan stood up and said kindly: "This is the first time I've seen you all. On behalf of the Sun Alliance, I would like to thank you for your contributions to the alliance. You are all contributors to the victory of Yuncheng so quickly."

"Now that Yuncheng is in trouble, I am very pleased that everyone can work together to overcome the difficulties. To make a long story short, everyone must be concerned about how to solve the problem, so I won't talk about anything else."

"The food brought by the convoy cannot fill everyone's stomachs. But I guarantee that food will be delivered one after another. Who is responsible for the registration of Yuncheng's household registration?"

Ye Cong said: "I asked people to register. Among them, there are 22 poor households, a total of about 250 people. There are 2 ordinary households, a total of about [-] people."

Lin Yan: "These 22 people have to rely on relief to survive?"

Ye Cong nodded, the situation was much more serious than expected.Since the cold season entered, they have tried their best to raise food so that these people can survive as much as possible.

Before the cold season came, people were also organized to go hunting outside the city to stockpile meat for the cold season, but when it came to the cold season, the stored food was consumed too quickly.

The nearby Ancheng and Hepingcheng couldn't support, so that Yuncheng came to the current situation.

Ye Cong said: "I just saw the list of supplies you brought, and it won't last long. We have to think of other ways."

Lin Yan nodded, "Food can't be given away for free. A group of people who are in good health will be selected and distributed to the villages and towns along Xitian Road, and they will be responsible for delivering food in sections. Those who voluntarily sign up and are selected will treat their families kindly and give priority to food. .”

"How to deliver in sections?" Xu Ye asked in bewilderment.

Ye Cong understood Lin Yun's meaning in seconds, stood up and found a wooden board, took a charcoal pencil to write and draw, and explained to everyone.

Allocating materials from Sun City to Yun City, it is divided into five stations, four towns on the way to Xitian Road, plus Ancheng.Each of the five stations is assigned a group of people, and transported in a relay manner to maximize the use of all people and improve efficiency.

It takes time and effort to transport people back and forth from Sun City, and Yun City can't afford to wait.

Meng Yan raised a question: "This can improve efficiency, but these people are poor people, without warm clothes, they may be frozen to death before they arrive at the station."

The biggest problem in the cold season is the cold, no one wants to go out without warm clothes.

Lin Yan: "I've also thought about this issue. I've written to Ancheng and Hepingcheng to ask them to prepare warm clothes. The first batch will be received within ten days at most."

The reason why she dared to do this was because the four towns along the Xitian Road had more or less reserves of food and clothes, which could be deployed in emergencies.

Among them, Wuhe Town and Taohua Town have granaries for emergency supply during wartime.It cannot be deployed unless it is absolutely necessary.

Now that Yuncheng's situation can't wait, Lin Yan decided to call some of them after much deliberation, and at the same time, asked Sun City to make up for it immediately.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours, and a detailed plan was formulated, and everyone immediately started to move.

The dead and silent Yuncheng boiled up the next day.

When Lin Yan came, she brought a batch of clothes to keep out the cold, and she selected 500 people first, and she took them with her to set off first.

In the following month, vehicles and horses traveled continuously to and from Yuncheng, and fewer and fewer people died of starvation and freezing every day. The effect was remarkable.

In the 23rd year of the Sun Era, Yuncheng passed through the crisis of the cold season in a busy environment.

The weather is getting warmer, and arrangements for Yuncheng are on the agenda.The surrounding terrain is limited, and the fields that can be cultivated are limited, which cannot feed the people in the city.

For the sake of long-term development, Lin Yan suggested that some of the people in Yuncheng should be moved out. She had long been optimistic about the place, which was located in the Wuhe Plain near Wuhe Town.

The Wuhe Plain covers a vast area with flat terrain and abundant water sources, making it suitable for farming.

The people selected for transporting the supplies have not yet returned to Yuncheng, and just turned to Wuhe Plain to create a new city, Wuhe City.

Originally, her plan to replace Shi Zhi and go back had to be put on hold. She had to personally supervise the construction of Wuhe City, and Shi Zhi could only stay and guard Yuncheng.

By the time Lin Yan led his people to the center of Wuhe Plain, it was already late February, and the craftsmen and equipment sent from Sun City had already arrived.

Xu Yeshan recommended himself to be Lin Yan's deputy, and followed her to Wuhe Plain, a vast plain.

Along the way, he saw with his own eyes how powerful Lin Yan was.

There are hundreds of miles from Xitian Road to the center of the plain, and roads are being built as they go.When she met the ferocious wolves and everyone panicked, she was in a vigorous posture, like a gust of wind, and the wolves fell limply to the ground wherever she passed. There was no bloody scene, more like falling asleep.

Unpredictable means, mysterious and unknowable, everyone who sees her is in awe and fear of her.

As one of them, Xu Yeshan felt the deepest.He finally understood why she was the chairman of the alliance, why such a powerful person as Shi Zhi respected her so much.

With Lin Yan as the killer, the journey went smoothly.

Encountered hundreds of bison on the road, Lin Yan spent two days controlling and taming them with mental power, accumulating the first batch of livestock for Wuhe City.

The construction of a city cost a lot, and it took more than half a year to get busy, and it finally took shape.

Looking at the originally barren plain, under the labor of tens of thousands of people, a new city was built with rows of houses and complete city walls.

Three city gates were opened in the southeast and northwest respectively to facilitate the people in the city to enter and exit the fields.

This is a city built to grow food. The people who migrated will reclaim wasteland around the city and become the granary of the alliance.

With the construction, more and more people migrated from Yuncheng, Ancheng and Hepingcheng.

When Lin Yan was busy with Wuhe City, Shi Zhi was not idle either.

Together with Hua Min and others, he successfully captured Ningcheng.So far, the Sun Alliance has a total of twelve cities.

The location of Ningcheng is crucial, and Heping City and Yuncheng are connected as a defensive line. So far, the alliance has a place in Tianduan Mountain and successfully expanded its population by one million.

At the beginning, it was because of these people that Tianduan Mountain was coveted.

What the Sun Alliance lacks most is people, and it will take many years to wait for its own reproduction and development.

But it is different now. With the support of Ancheng, Pingcheng, Yuncheng and Ningcheng, the population base has increased to more than 130 million.

Even so, judging from the area occupied by the Sun Alliance, it is still vast and sparsely populated.

It was inevitable to repeat the mistakes of Yuncheng, Shi Zhi was very attentive to Ningcheng's arrangements, and the investigation work was done in great detail.

Ningcheng is located on the edge of a big river, built near the water, and is an important transportation hub.

Headed by the Ning family, under the infiltration of Hua Min and others for several years, remarkable results have been achieved.

People in Ningcheng long for peace and do not like fighting, and live on water.

The alliance's shipbuilding technology conquered the people of Ningcheng. At the same time, the cultural infiltration of Hua Min and others contributed a lot. When the time was right, Ningcheng took the initiative to submit.

Such a result, everyone is happy.

The head of the Ning family, Ning Yiwen, obeyed the will of his ancestors, took care of Ningcheng conscientiously, and wanted to lead the people of Ningcheng to live a happy life.

Everything about the Sun Alliance is exactly what the Ning family wants.

Before Shi Zhi came, Ning Yiwen summoned more than a dozen people with high reputation in Ningcheng to discuss and decide to join the alliance. Therefore, Ningcheng is the most peaceful city of submission.

The people of Ningcheng are richer than Yuncheng, and they have a variety of aquatic products. They built their own ponds and raised aquatic products, which found a way for Ningcheng to survive.

Ning Cheng surrendered voluntarily, and the Court of Arbitration rewarded him, appointed Ning Yiwen as the city lord of Ning Cheng, and formed the leadership team of Ning Cheng.

The alliance sent people to appoint the heads of the Ningcheng Arbitration Tribunal and the Garrison Mansion, and all the transitions went smoothly.

At the end of December, Lin Yan hurried back to Sun City to attend the annual meeting.

This year, the alliance has achieved great results, and two more cities have been added, followed by the year of the general election. As the chairman, she cannot be absent.

Shi Zhi and Ye Cong also rushed back.The matter of Tianduan Mountain is over for the time being, they have to concentrate on the work of the scientific research institute.

The 25th year of the Solar Era came as scheduled, and the general election lasted for half a month, and a new leader was elected.

Lin Yan was elected the chairman of the alliance, the arbitrator, the president of the arbitration court, and the minister of science and technology with an absolute advantage.

Lan Yue was elected as the vice president of the Arbitration Court, the arbitrator, and was also appointed as the Minister of Military Affairs.

Shui Sheng was elected as the vice president and arbitrator of the Arbitration Court, and was appointed as the Minister of Finance at the same time.

Huang Ying was elected as the vice president of the Arbitration Court, the arbitrator, and was appointed as the Minister of Personnel.

Heitu gave up the election, and a new arbitrator, Shi Yong, was appointed as the Minister of Public Security.

Yemeng and Xiali were old and lacked energy, so they resigned from their posts, and like Heitu, they only retained their seats in the Arbitration Court.

This year, the number of members of the Court of Arbitration increased from 21 to 23, adding Shen Tianlin and Ning Yiwen. Among the original members, Yun Qing was no longer a member and was replaced by Shi Zhi.

Hong Ling is still the Minister of Public Resources, Yi Jing, Minister of Justice, Ye Cong, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Hua Min, Minister of State Affairs.

Yi Jing is a talent cultivated by Shui Sheng and Huang Ying when they were the Minister of Justice. He is two years younger than Lin Yan, so he is young and promising.

At this point, the new leader of the Sun Alliance was born.At the same time, the time of the general election was revised. In order to facilitate the participation of people in various cities in the general election, starting from the next election, the time will be changed to March.
