Chapter 11 The State of Zhao is Dead
Zhao Fu was telling the truth, he really thought so.
Xu Lingling can always help him at a critical time, the last time Oasis City was like this, although he had no memory of that Oasis City at all, he knew that he was able to survive from the hands of the Pope in the demigod state It must be Xu Lingling's credit. The same is true for the refugee resettlement incident this time, Xu Lingling's Holy Sect has helped him a lot, and after the number of refugees has just exceeded the number that the northwest region can bear, Xie Xiyan came over with Xu Lingling's request.
It's like, providence in the dark.
Xu Lingling didn't look away, he didn't want to continue to discuss this topic that would become more and more strange.
Zhao Fu soon realized that his worries were unnecessary, since Xu Lingling was a saint, how could she get sick easily. This time, he was very familiar and turned the conversation to something else.
Zhao Fu knew that he seemed to make Xu Lingling a little unhappy, but he didn't want the communication between the two to stop.
The two had not seen each other for a long time, and although they exchanged letters, it had not been a long time since they had spoken so much like this. After the conversation box is opened, even if Zhao Fu is no longer interested, he can always continue. Two people who have never shown the slightest bit of their hearts in front of the world can finally trust to let go of their arrogance at this moment, and the original soft hearts reflect each other, and this comfortable mood is far more than everything.
"There will be more refugees in the future, and I am worried that the carrying capacity of Crescent City will not be enough." Zhao Fu was a little worried about Crescent City, although the city was designed to accommodate tens of millions of residents at the beginning of its construction, if tens of millions of them were refugees, it would always be a huge risk for the Holy Sect.
It's not that Zhao Fu has any prejudice against the refugees, these refugees were all the people of the Lanhe Empire before, and those who came to flee and were willing to leave the Gobi and go to Crescent City must be their own people. Those big clans from the imperial capital and other places have long tried their best to buy land in the northwest, and they say that they have come to take refuge, but they are just moving home.
And only those poor people who are honest and dutiful, they don't want to get involved in the flames of troubled times, become the pawns of careerists, and just want to live honestly and steadily. Only these people, who have no money, no background, and no power, will
had to leave the country.
And this kind of three-no-no population, in a completely new place, Zhao Fu was very worried that their movement would disrupt the current balance of Crescent City, after all, the number of refugees was too large.
"This is not a problem, considering the living habits of the inhabitants of the Lan River Empire, I have sent people to prepare for the construction of New Star City forty miles south of Crescent City, where the environment and climate are closer to the Lan River Empire." Of course, Xu Lingling knew what was at stake, Crescent City, as the holy city of the Holy Sect, would not be allowed to be desecrated, and would not allow outsiders to move at will. This group of 200,000 refugees is an exception, after all, the construction of Crescent City really needs the population too much, and Xu Lingling's permission to enter the city this time is regarded as a reward for the courage of these 200,000 refugees, and most of the refugees behind will be arranged in New Star City.
The world is fair, and courage is also one of the bargaining chips to live.
"Founding the city...... Is the material enough? Zhao Fu asked.
In this era, it was not difficult to build a city, as long as there were enough people, a wall was erected in a circle. However, the situation outside the country is different, because of the lack of deep forest resources, the most important timber basically depends on the inland for transportation.
"You don't have to worry about this, our people have found several mountains, and there is an adequate supply of stone and wood." Xu Lingling was a little embarrassed, after all, when Crescent City was originally built, the materials were basically paid for by Zhao Fu, and if New Star City was to be bled by Zhao Fu, then she would never build it.
"Oh, that's good, but do you have enough of them?" Zhao Fu was curious, Xu Lingling had sent Xie Xiyan to Lanting to negotiate with him because of lack of manpower.
"Almost, I asked the Templars to pile up the stone and wood outside the city, and the refugees who relocated there can collect it themselves if they want, and our people will guide them on how to build houses, and they can't be left unpaid, right?" Xu Lingling said.
"Great idea!" Zhao Fu nodded and praised, he thought at first that Xu Lingling would build a house or something and then let those refugees move in, but he didn't expect that he just ordered someone to prepare the materials for building the house.
"Hmph, that's, don't look at me like this, I'm not necessarily a good person." Xu Lingling rarely heard Zhao Fu's praise, and proudly raised his delicate little face.
Zhao Fu echoed the words "yes" and "yes", and thought in his heart that if you are not a good person, I am afraid that there will be no good people in the world, no, I am afraid that there are no more people in the world.
Just as the two were further discussing the issue of refugee resettlement, Zhao Qian suddenly broke in.
"Teacher! There is something important to report! Zhao Qian glanced at Xu Lingling a few times, a little anxious.
"Say, it's all your own people." Zhao Fu understood what Zhao Qian meant, but he didn't want Xu Lingling to avoid it.
Zhao Qian weighed it for a while, and finally told the news he had just gotten through a special channel: "Zhao Guo is dead." ”
"What did you say?" Zhao Fuluo stood up suddenly, and he confirmed again: "I heard it right?" ”
"No, Zhao Guo is really dead." Zhao Qian also repeated it again.
How so...... Zhao Fu still didn't believe it, the Zhao family wanted to establish a country, this was an open ambition, and the invitation to open the country was sent to every powerful person. And the strength of the Zhao family is extremely terrifying, after Lin Haoyan was assassinated, he took advantage of Lin Sixing's lack of time to integrate the power in his hands, and immediately mastered the Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry, the most powerful army of the Lanhe Empire; Its economic strength is even more dominant in the world, and after occupying Zhongzhou, it has mastered more than half of the trade routes of the original Lanhe Empire. Coupled with the influence of the Zhao family in the business world before, the comprehensive strength of the Zhao family, or the Zhao State, has far surpassed the imperial capital. Even Feng Yu thought that the forces that could not resist it could die overnight?
How could such a thing happen without warning? There wasn't even a little rumor before, and Zhao Fu felt that it was too strange.
But soon Zhao Fu reacted, and he hurriedly asked, "Then who is in charge of Zhao Guo now?" ”
Zhao Fu sat in the northwest for several years, although he did not get involved in officialdom, he still cultivated a very high political literacy. He immediately understood the urgency of this matter, which would directly affect the direction of the Lanhe Empire in the future.
