survival in the wilderness

To show his sincerity, Lin Yan prepared a gift for everyone at the banquet.

The certificate of honor signed and issued by the Arbitration Court lists everyone's contribution to the alliance.

That night, everything that happened at the banquet spread throughout Sun City, making countless people sigh and regret.

The honorary certificate issued by the Arbitration Court, and personally received and thanked by the alliance leader and the Minister of Finance and Commerce, is the ultimate dream of countless businessmen. If you hesitate but miss it, you will regret it for a lifetime.

At the same time, the twenty merchants who participated in the banquet became popular figures in the alliance and were widely reported by various newspapers and periodicals.

The life history of each of them has been dug up and exposed to the public.

It can be said that he became famous in one battle and became famous in eight states of the alliance in one night.

When Shu Junyi learned about the auction, she mobilized all personnel to raise funds and made sufficient preparations. The results far exceeded expectations.

Back at the hotel, her assistant and former maid Yilan was waiting for her master to return.

Over the past few years, Yilan has traveled around with her master, and has long been trained to be able to stand alone.

As soon as the two met, Yilan asked with bright eyes: "Master, have you seen the alliance leader?"

Shu Junyi nodded, "Pour me a glass of water first. Oh, by the way, don't call me master in the future, just call me by my name. I've reminded you so many times that I still can't remember it."

Yilan smiled and said: "It's hard to change after so many years of habit."

As he spoke, he handed the water glass to Shu Junyi.

"It must be changed. The Union abolished slavery and everyone is equal. It is inappropriate for you to call it that."

Yilan also knew that what she said was right and said hurriedly: "Change it, I will definitely change it. I don't dare to call you by your name directly, so why don't you call me Mr. Shu."

"It's up to you, as long as it doesn't violate the rules."

Yilan asked with a smile: "Tell me quickly, what is the leader of the alliance like? Is he as powerful as you?"

Shu Junyi laughed and scolded, "How can I compare to the alliance leader? The alliance leader is an extraordinary woman from the ages, who holds the fate of everyone in the alliance in her hands."

"Why can't you compare? In my eyes, you are as powerful as the alliance leader." Yilan was not convinced. She grew up with Shu Junyi. In her heart, Shu Junyi is the best woman in the world.

"You, don't say this when you go out, you will be laughed at." Shu Junyi was too lazy to correct Yilan's thoughts, mainly because it would be difficult to change her mind in a short while.

"The leader is an admirable woman. She is very young, very kind to people, and does not have the airs of a high-ranking person at all. She smiles at everyone, and she even toasted me personally. She is a very humble person."

Yilan looked at her and couldn't help but said: "You have never admired someone so much. Your eyes shine when you mention him."

"The leader is different." Shu Junyi said firmly, "The good life we ​​have today is all due to the leader."

"I know you look much more alive now than before. As long as you are happy, I will be happy."

Yilan is an honest maid. She has been taught to put her master first since she was a child. She is a very qualified maid. It is difficult to change her now.

In this regard, Shu Junyi has given up hope, she just needs to stick to what she wants to do.Among the little sisters of the same age in Qicheng, who can compare with her now?Many people are still clinging to their old dreams and are unwilling to step out and take a look. The world has long been different.

By the time the heat from the auction dissipated, it was already December, the end of the year.

As the end of the year approaches, the Court of Arbitration becomes even busier.All departments are busy preparing for the year-end conference.

Lin Yan looked at various reports every day and had a clear understanding of the situation in the eight states this year.

Even with the immigration wave in Anzhou and Yongzhou, the population is still growing, and the number of newborns is more than [-] more than the total number of people who migrated and died.

The birth of so many children means that investment in educational resources will increase, and more will be spent to feed them.

The environment in the two states is stable, there are no powerful people who frequently beat, curse, torture or kill, and with the support of the alliance's medical care, 90.00% of the babies will survive after birth.

The population base is huge, and the number of newborns will naturally increase.

If this were placed in the other six states, Lin Yan would definitely be happy, but if it was placed in Anzhou and Yongzhou, it would become a burden.

Huang Ying looked at her with a frown, "We really don't care and let them continue to have children. Isn't there a family plan? We need to control it appropriately."

"If this continues, no matter how many schools there are, there won't be enough schools. It will cost so much that we simply can't afford it. Education cannot keep up, and the children growing up from generation to generation lack the talents, which goes against our original intention."

Lin Yan smiled bitterly, "This is not a problem that could have been foreseen long ago. When we regained Anzhou and Yongzhou, we made predictions and the worst case scenario is still far away. As long as we control it properly, we will definitely avoid the worst case scenario. result."

"You are quite optimistic. Shui Sheng is probably looking for you again." Huang Ying gloated, "To be honest, we have to let the people of Anzhou and Yongzhou make enough food and clothing by themselves. When every family is rich, everyone will be rich together."

"That makes sense. How do you think we can become rich together?" Lin Yan's eyes brightened a little and he looked at her expectantly.

Huang Ying was stared at so hard that she thought for a while and said cautiously: "I went to the library a few days ago and saw a book that inspired me. We might as well divert the young people from Anzhou and Yongzhou to make money. Repair the roads in various parts of the wasteland, and find businesses to sponsor the money for road construction, so that the money can circulate and be dispersed into the hands of countless people, which can temporarily solve some of the problems."

There are too many people in Anzhou and Yongzhou, so there are only a few opportunities to work and make money, but there should be no fighting over them.Road construction can provide a lot of opportunities and requires more labor, so some people can come out first. After seeing the outside world, they may change their minds and immigrate.

Even if you don't immigrate, you can still earn some money and relieve the pressure of life at home.

When the family has money, they will think of changing their appearance and letting their children go to school. If the cycle continues like this, changes will be made gradually, and there will always be gains.

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Yan thought it was good, "The roads in the wilderness should be repaired. We have already had cement roads, which are only used in small areas in the city. If the highways in various states can be opened up and flat cement roads can be built, It’s a great achievement. Let’s start with Xitian Road first, divide it into several sections, and recruit workers directly from Anzhou and Yongzhou.”

"What's the rush? We have to wait until next year to build the road. It's too cold to build the road."

Lin Yan smiled brightly and said, "We have to discuss it with Shuisheng and then find Hua Min and Hong Ling. They have to implement the road construction."

Lin Yan opened the most comprehensive and detailed map of the wasteland and looked at the marked land transportation in various places and thought deeply.

A Xitian Road connects Zhongzhou, Pingzhou, Anzhou and Yongzhou and is the most important traffic artery.

However, there is no land connection from Zhongzhou to Haizhou, Yunzhou and Mingzhou, and they are all connected by water.

Huge investment has been made in the development and maintenance of waterways over the years, but this is a necessary expense.
