Before Lin Yan could clear her mind, she was awakened by the noise coming from outside the hospital.
Ma Fang rushed in and said anxiously: "Chairman, the news of the arrival of the food has spread, and everyone in Yuncheng is coming this way."
Like a pack of wolves that have been hungry for a long time and cannot be stopped no matter what.
The city that was dead an hour ago suddenly came to life.
"Let people maintain order and discourage people from going back. Once they break in, use force to suppress them."
Lin Yan quickly issued an order. Today's Yuncheng cannot withstand any disturbance. People have been hungry for a long time and can do anything.
The supplies transported by the convoy seem to be a lot, but it is far from enough to supply hundreds of thousands of people. If they are robbed, it will be even more chaotic.
Before Lin Yan could go out, Shi Zhi had already rushed to the door and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."
This kind of scene is not unfamiliar to him at all, it happens every few days.
Outside the gate, groups of soldiers were waiting in formation, waiting for an order to be given and their swords to be unsheathed.
The chaotic crowd gradually became quiet in front of the sharp knife.
Lin Yan came out at this time. She stood next to Shi Zhi and watched the crowd crowded and confronting each other.
The clothes are not covering the body, and the exposed skin is covered with frostbite and dirt. The picture is very shocking.
Today, the city under the alliance's governance still has such a side, and Lin Yan was greatly impacted.
Someone shouted: "There is food, why don't you give it to us?"
"It's just that they want to see us starve to death. It's so cruel."
"We must give us an explanation today."
"We won't leave until we get food."
…
Someone started, and the scene was about to become chaotic again.
Lan Xing stood at the front and said loudly: "Stop shouting and shut up."
"You make trouble time and time again, and you really think we are easy to talk to. I put my words here. Whoever dares to make trouble again will be shown no mercy."
Lan Xing was furious. These were a group of disobedient barbarians who came to cause trouble every now and then. It was as if they didn't dare to take action.
He had just learned that Lin Yan was coming, but before he had a chance to meet him, he was interrupted by these troublemakers.
Lan Xing felt very guilty for letting Lin Yan see the chaos in Yuncheng. He felt that Lin Yan should not see such a scene after coming all the way here.
Xu Yeshan saw that today was different from the past, so he squeezed out from the crowd and faced Shi Zhidao directly: "The food has arrived, how did you arrange it?"
He also understood Shi Zhi's dilemma, but so many people were hungry 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, we still have to wait to arrange it. Head Xu, you also know the situation in Yuncheng, please dissuade these people."
Xu Yeshan has prestige in front of the people at the bottom, and his words are still effective.
Blue Star lowered his voice, "The food has arrived, and a big shot from the Alliance has arrived. He will definitely solve the problem in Cloud City. You need to ask these people to withdraw first. If you leave a bad impression on the big shot in the Alliance, it will be difficult to change in the future." ”
Xu Yeshan looked at Lin Yan next to Shi Zhi. She said nothing, but daring to stand with Shi Zhi was a silent declaration.
What Blue Star said makes sense. The alliance has not left Yuncheng alone. There will always be a solution. If a riot really breaks out and those soldiers are serious about it, the rioters will definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Xu Yeshan made an instant decision and turned to face the crowd, "Listen to me, everyone, go home first. When the food arrives, you must leave time to arrange the distribution. Such trouble will only delay 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 not let you go hungry."
The crowd was quiet for a while, and some people gave Xu Yeshan some face and turned around to leave.
Gradually, the crowded crowd slowly dispersed.
Xu Yeshan knew that this was only temporary and could not be delayed for long.
In the meeting hall of the city lord's mansion, more than a dozen people sat around to discuss matters.
Xu Yeshan looked at Lin Yan and thought that he was too young. The Sun Alliance was really unpredictable. It was led by a group of young people. It was beyond his imagination.
Just now, Shi Zhi introduced Lin Yan's identity, and everyone present in Yuncheng was shocked.
It was already surprising that Shi Zhizhi became the commander-in-chief, but the chairman of the Sun Alliance was actually so young and a woman, and she actually rushed to Yuncheng in person.
Several Yuncheng people, including Xu Yeshan, were completely unexpected by this.
Since Lan Xing was transferred to Yuncheng to take charge of the city's security, he quickly became familiar with the locals.
He introduced Lin Yan to Xu Yeshan, Guan Yun, Ma Jun and others. These people were all meritorious people who captured Yuncheng and now hold some positions.
After capturing Yuncheng, Shi Zhi quickly formed the leadership team of Yuncheng, with him as the city lord himself, Lan Xing as the head of the garrison office, and Ye Cong was also appointed by him to manage government affairs.
Lin Yan stood up and said kindly: "This is the first time I have met you all. On behalf of the Sun Alliance, I would like to thank you for your contribution to the alliance. You are all responsible for the fact that Cloud City was captured so quickly."
"Now that Yuncheng is in trouble, I am very happy 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 go into details."
"The food brought by the convoy cannot fill everyone's stomach. But I promise that food will be delivered one after another in the future. Who is responsible for registering the household registration in Yuncheng?"
Ye Cong said: "I asked people to register. Among them, there are 46,000 poor households, totaling about 220,000 people. There are 2,250 ordinary households, totaling about 20,000 people."
Lin Yan: "These 220,000 people have to rely on relief to survive?"
Ye Cong nodded, the situation was much more serious than expected. Since the cold season, they have been trying their best to raise food so that these people can survive as much as possible.
Before the cold season arrives, people are also organized to go hunting outside the city to store meat for the cold season. However, when the cold season arrives, the stored food is consumed too quickly.
The nearby Anseong and Hepingseong were unable to provide support, leaving Yuncheng in its current situation.
Ye Cong said: "I just saw the list of supplies you brought. It won't last long. We have to think of other ways."
Lin Yan nodded, "Food cannot be given away for free. A group of people should be selected and in good health. They should be distributed to villages and towns along Xitian Road and be responsible for delivering food in sections. Anyone who voluntarily signs up and is selected will be treated kindly to their families and will receive food first. .”
"How to transport it in sections?" Xu Yeshan asked puzzledly.
Ye Cong instantly understood what Lin Yun meant. He stood up, found a wooden board, took a charcoal pen and wrote and drew to explain to everyone.
The distribution of supplies from Sun City to Yuncheng is divided into five stations, four towns on the way to the west, plus Ancheng. Each of the five stations is assigned a group of people and transported in a relay manner to maximize the use of everyone and improve efficiency.
Relying on the people and horses from Sun City to transport it back and forth is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and Yuncheng cannot afford to wait.
Meng Yan asked: "This can improve efficiency, but these people are poor and have no warm clothes. They may freeze to death before they reach the station."
The biggest problem in the cold season is the cold. No one wants to go out without warm clothes.
Lin Yan: "I have also thought about this issue. I have already sent a letter to Ancheng and Hepingcheng, asking them to prepare warm clothes. The first batch will be received in ten days at most."
The reason why she dared to do this was because the four towns along Xitian Road had more or less reserves of food and clothing, which could be deployed in emergencies.
Among them, Wuhe Town and Taohua Town both have granaries for emergency supply during wartime. It cannot be deployed unless absolutely necessary.
The current situation in Yuncheng could not afford to wait. After thinking over and over again, Lin Yan decided to use part of it, and at the same time, let Sun City make up for it immediately.
The meeting lasted for more than two hours, a detailed plan was formulated, and everyone started to take action immediately.
The lifeless Yuncheng became agitated the next day.
Lin Yan brought a batch of warm clothes with her when she came, and she gave priority to 500 people, who she personally led and set off first.
In the next month, there was a constant flow of carriages and horses to and from Yuncheng, and fewer and fewer people died of starvation and freezing every day. The results were remarkable.
In the twenty-third year of the Solar Era, Yuncheng passed through the cold season crisis in a busy time.
The weather is getting warmer, and arrangements for Yuncheng are on the agenda. The surrounding terrain is restricted, and the fields that can be cultivated are limited and cannot feed the people in the city.
For the sake of long-term development, Lin Yan proposed to relocate part of the people in Yuncheng to a place she had long considered, which was located in the Wuhe Plain near Wuhe Town.
The Wuhe Plain covers a vast area with flat terrain and abundant water resources, making it suitable for farming.
The people who were selected to transport supplies had not yet returned to Yuncheng, so they happened to go to Wuhe Plain to build a new city, Wuhe City.
Her original plan to come back in exchange for Shi Zhi had to be shelved. She had to personally oversee the construction of Wuhe City, and Shi Zhi could only stay and guard Yuncheng.
By the time Lin Yan and his men arrived at the center of Wuhe Plain, it was already late February. The craftsmen and equipment sent from Sun City were already in place.
Xu Yeshan volunteered to be Lin Yan's deputy and followed her to the Wuhe Plain, a vast plain.
Along the way, he saw with his own eyes how powerful Lin Yan was.
It is hundreds of miles from Xitian Road to the center of the plain, and the road is being built as we go. When she encountered a ferocious pack of wolves and everyone was in panic, she was as strong and vigorous as a gust of wind. The wolves collapsed to the ground wherever she passed. There was no bloody scene, more like falling asleep.
Her unpredictable methods are mysterious and unknowable, and everyone who sees her is in awe and fear of her.
As one of them, Xu Yeshan felt the most profoundly. He finally understood why she was the chairman of the alliance and why someone as powerful as Shi Zhi treated her with such respect.
With Lin Yan, a big killer, everything went smoothly.
Encountering hundreds of bison on the road, Lin Yan spent two days controlling and taming them with his mental power, and accumulated the first batch of livestock for Wuhe City.
The construction of a city costs a lot of money. It took more than half a year to finally take shape.
Looking at the originally barren plain, with the work of tens of thousands of people, a new city was built, with rows of houses and complete city walls.
There are three city gates in the southeast, northwest and north to facilitate the people in the city to enter and exit the farm.
This is a city built to grow food. The immigrants will reclaim wasteland around the city to become the granary of the alliance.
With the construction, more and more people moved from Yuncheng, Anseong and Hepingseong.
While Lin Yan was busy in Wuhe City, Shi Zhi was not idle either.
He teamed up with Hua Min and others to successfully capture Ningcheng. At this point, the Sun Alliance has a total of twelve cities.
Ningcheng is in a key position, and Heping City and Yuncheng are connected to form a defensive line. At this point, the alliance has a place in Tianduan Mountain and has successfully expanded its population by one million.
The original reason for eyeing Tianduan Mountain was for this population.
The most urgent thing in the Sun Alliance is people. It will take many years to reproduce and develop on its own.
But things are different now. With the support of Ancheng, Pingcheng, Yuncheng and Ningcheng, the population base has increased to more than 1.3 million.
Even so, judging from the area occupied by the Sun Alliance, it is still vast and sparsely populated, and there is a huge shortage of people.
It would be inevitable to make the same mistake as Yuncheng. Shi Zhi was very attentive to Ningcheng's arrangements and did a very detailed investigation.
Ningcheng is located on the edge of a large river and is built near the water. It is an important transportation hub.
Led by the Ning family, and with the penetration of Hua Min and others over the past few years, remarkable results have been achieved.
Ningcheng people long for peace, don't like fighting, and live on water.
The alliance's shipbuilding technology conquered the people of Ningcheng. At the same time, the cultural penetration of Hua Min and others was indispensable. When the time came, Ningcheng took the initiative to submit.
Everyone is happy with this result.
Ning Yiwen, the head of the Ning family, followed the legacy of his ancestors and worked hard to manage Ningcheng, hoping to lead the people of Ningcheng to live a happy life.
Everything in the Sun Alliance is exactly what the Ning family wants.
Before Shi Zhi arrived, Ning Yiwen summoned more than a dozen people with high reputations in Ningcheng to discuss and decide to join the alliance. Therefore, Ningcheng was the most peaceful city to surrender.
People in Ningcheng are richer than Yuncheng and have a wide variety of aquatic products. They build their own ponds and breed aquatic products, which has found a way for Ningcheng to survive.
Ningcheng surrendered voluntarily, and the Arbitration Court rewarded him by appointing Ning Yiwen as the Lord of Ningcheng and forming a leadership team of Ningcheng.
The alliance sent people to appoint the persons in charge of the Ningcheng Arbitration Tribunal and the Garrison Office, and all the handover transitions went smoothly.
At the end of December, Lin Yan rushed back to Sun City to attend the annual meeting.
This year the alliance achieved great success, adding two more cities, and then came the election year. As chairman, she could not be absent.
Shi Zhi and Ye Cong also rushed back. The matter at Tianduan Mountain is over for the time being, and they have to concentrate on their work at the Scientific Research Institute.
The 25th year of the Solar Era arrived as scheduled, and the general election lasted for half a month to elect a new leader.
Lin Yan was overwhelmingly elected as the Alliance Chairman, Arbitrator, President of the Arbitration Court, and concurrently Minister of Science and Technology.
Lan Yue was elected as the vice-president and arbitrator of the Arbitration Court, 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 also appointed as the Minister of Finance.
Huang Ying was elected as the Vice President and Arbitrator of the Arbitration Court, and was also appointed as the Minister of Personnel.
Kurotsuchi gave up the campaign, and a new arbiter, Shi Yong, was appointed as the Minister of Public Security.
Yemeng and Xia Li were old and lacked energy, so they resigned from their positions, and like Kurotsuchi, they only retained their seats as members of the Arbitration Court.
This year, the number of members of the Arbitration Court increased from 21 to 23, with Shen Tianlin and Ning Yiwen added. Among the original members, Yun Qing was no longer a member and was replaced by Shi Zhi.
Hong Ling remains as Minister of Public Resources, Minister of Justice Yi Jing, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ye Cong, and Minister of State Affairs Hua Min.
Yi Jing is a talent that Shui Sheng and Huang Ying worked hard to cultivate when they were the Minister of Justice. He is two years younger than Lin Yan and can be said to be young and promising.
At this point, the new leader of the Sun Alliance was born. At the same time, the election time was modified. In order to facilitate the participation of people in various cities in the election, starting from the next election, the time was changed to March.
