Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 564 Salvation Plan
For the residents of the lower town of Longton, what has happened in the past few days has been a bit overwhelming.

First, the Corpse Guild was raided by the Imperial Army, and the news released afterwards said that it was a cult stronghold, where cultists who worshipped the Old Gods used corpses for sacrifices, summoning evil beings with the intention of destroying Langton.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time by the imperial officials and the cult was successfully eradicated.

Although huge damage was caused to the Lower Town, the cult was eventually successfully eradicated without causing more serious damage or casualties to the Lower Town.

Originally, the residents of the downtown area thought that the matter was over, but the plan announced by the Longton City Government shocked everyone.

The Langton City Government plans to build a large shelter in the upper town, which is now almost empty. Not only will it recruit a large number of workers and labor from the lower town, but it also promises that as long as they participate in the construction project, they will have priority to move in after the shelter is completed.

At the same time, the Langton City Government will also build a large energy tower in the lower town to maintain the ambient temperature of the lower town and prevent the lower town from being completely frozen by ice and snow.

These pieces of news are more shocking than the last, but at the same time, they also make the residents of the downtown area feel very confused.

Since the Empire has these means and capabilities, why didn't it build these facilities in Langton earlier?
While the church was building the shelter, why didn't Longton City Council start building these facilities at the same time?
However, the Longton City Government did not answer these questions, but only stated that workers who came to work could receive a daily ration for each person, regardless of gender.

Seeing this, everyone who was still able to move in the lower city rushed to the recruitment site.

Putting aside other things, as long as the Langton City Government really distributes food, they will die of hunger first, even if it means asking them to dig a hole and bury themselves.

Faced with this situation, the Longton City Government also took action and opened up to provide food rations to the people.

Although the ration is limited to one person, there are no restrictions on age and gender. No matter whether you are male or female, young or old, as long as you can come to the construction site to work, you can get a ration.

This undoubtedly gave the people great confidence. Although the official plan of Langton sounded like a lie, they still chose to work hard.

After all, they are really distributing food, so who can guarantee that they don’t really have a way to build shelters and energy towers?
As for why it wasn’t built before, it’s possible that the officials just remembered about the existence of these ordinary people!

In short, after filling their stomachs after a long absence, many people did not think much about it, but worked very hard.

Soon a construction site was cleared in the lower city, and the foundation for the energy tower was laid. Some spare parts were also produced by the factory that was put back into operation and shipped to the site.

This is indeed an unimaginable scene. Ever since the Empire announced the impending end of the world, the entire Langton seemed to be in a desperate situation.

Many factories stopped production, food and daily necessities were no longer available in the market, and the nobles and the imperial center moved to the north...

All this indicates that Langton, along with the empire's homeland, has been abandoned by the imperial center.

This made many people regret why they did not go with the North when it recruited immigrants, but instead thought that staying in Langton was the best choice. They also laughed at those who went to the North, saying that they gave up their Langton identity to become country bumpkins.

Looking back now, those people’s choices were so wise!
But no matter what, things have already come to this, and there is no point in regretting. Many people have actually given up hope of living and are just trying to survive.

After all, there are many temple shelters built by churches in Langton, and many people have received their protection, which makes a small number of people feel that there should still be hope for Langton.

As long as the church builds more temple shelters, or as long as they beg for mercy themselves, there is always hope of survival.

But for more people, they have actually lost the hope and possibility of living and are just waiting for death to come.

Now the Langton City Government has announced a plan to build energy towers and shelters. Although it is unclear what they are trying to do, the sufficient supply of food still gives many people hope to survive.

After all, even if it is just compressed biscuits, it is food that can fill the stomach and keep people alive.

With the hope of survival, people will naturally no longer believe in the teachings of certain evil cults.

--------------

"Everything is going smoothly in the lower city at the moment. As long as the energy tower can be erected on schedule, everything will be fine." Perfect looked at the map of Langton city in front of him with a look of satisfaction on his face.

The purpose of her doing all this was to wipe out the evil god sects, because if you want to wipe out these evil god sects, suppression by force has never been a means to cure them completely.

As long as the people can still be bewitched by them, as long as their words still have a market, as long as there are still people who cannot survive and are willing to sacrifice their lives and beliefs in exchange for survival, the evil cult will never be completely eliminated.

Even if Perfect can wipe out all those evil cults, these fundamental problems will not change and new evil cults will emerge.

So in the final analysis, if you want to solve all this, you must first solve the people's food problem, fill their stomachs and allow them to survive. Many problems do not need to be solved by Perfectcot at all, the problems will be solved by themselves.

This has been well proven in the North. The evil cult has indeed infiltrated the North, and some people have indeed been bewitched by them.

But when the Northern authorities began to crack down on the evil god sects, these guys were quickly wiped out, and many sects were simply uprooted.

The reason why such amazing results can be achieved is that Perfect has a very strong mass base in the North and has the support of the people.

And most importantly, the people in the North can survive and they don’t have to worry about where their livelihood will be tomorrow.

Therefore, Perfect understood deeply that if he wanted to solve the problem of the evil cult in Langton, he had to save the livelihoods of the people of Langton first.

"The problem in the lower town is easy to solve, but what are you going to do with the upper town? It's not so easy to requisition the manors, villas and palaces of those noble lords. How are you going to build enough shelters in the upper town to accommodate those people?" Sandrion didn't mean to pour cold water on Perfecto, but it was an indisputable fact that the construction in the upper town was progressing slowly.
