Chapter 40: Building Roads

As time passed, more and more people gathered in the Fifth Alliance Area, and gradually it exceeded 3,000 people, and the fighting that took place became more and more fierce, at first it was just a simple battle for food, and later, all of them were killed for whatever reason, and soon there were nearly 1,000 casualties among the 3,000 people.

The brutality of the fight made the people who arrived afterwards feel palpitations, so slowly no one joined the fight, and after some searching, they also found that there was really no food in Alliance Area 5, and these people stopped fighting.

After they completely stopped fighting, Lin Yue walked out with people and persuaded them. These people originally wanted to attack Lin Yue and force him to call out food after seeing Lin Yue, but fortunately, Lin Yue was good enough, and these people were also exhausted after the battle just now, so they did not cause harm to Lin Yue.

Lin Yue continued to exert his persuasive skills to persuade these people not to continue the riot. Like those people before them, these people gradually regained their composure under Lin Yue's persuasion and began to redefine their beliefs.

After a long time, these people agreed with Lin Yue's point of view, and most of them agreed not to attack the alliance area and instead join the alliance area. So Lin Yue took the thousands of new people to rebuild the No. 5 Alliance Area, some of whom were responsible for digging grass roots, peeling tree bark, and preparing food for all of them, some of them repaired the wall, and some of them were responsible for taking care of the wounded.

At the end of the day, the walls of the Fifth Confederate District were quickly erected. Because the walls of the inner and central areas had already been built in the No. 5 Alliance Area before, and all Lin Yue needed to do at the moment was to consolidate the walls of the inner area, so the progress was very fast.

After the wall was built, order was established, and after Lin Yue talked and understood the gang, he gradually established a preliminary order in the No. 5 Alliance Area.

When Union Area 5 was re-established, the raid came again. Although the number is not very large, it is a bit of a pressure for Union District Five, which has only one wall and is not yet standardized.

The people who had attacked the alliance area before had turned around to defend the alliance area this time, and their inner feelings became different for a while, because they really understood what their beliefs were now.

When blocking the attackers, the guards had been persuading because they understood how these people were feeling, but their eloquence and influence were not as great as Lin Yue's, so only a small part of them approved of their words.

However, the fifth alliance area was finally held up by the attack of the rioting crowd, and the exhausted guards really realized how the members of the alliance area felt when facing the riot.

The insurrection of the Union Zone was not only attacked by the No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5 Union Zones, but also No. 2 and No. 4, and at the same time, some small groups that were struggling to support themselves were also attacked by the rioters. Although there were many casualties in the various areas of the alliance area under the attack of the rioters, they were all able to hold on, and those small groups were not so lucky.

For example, a group that had joined the Union and then withdrew, was completely destroyed by the onslaught of the rioters, and what little food was left fell into the hands of the rioters. It's just that these foods have not become a lifeline for the crowd, but have become the fuse for killing. A huge number of people fought over the food, and more than 30,000 people joined in the grab. After a fight, the food disappeared completely. The casualties in the battle were also very large, with more than 6,000 dead and more than 18,000 injured to varying degrees.

In the course of this great battle, the dark clouds that had accumulated in the sky for a long time were finally released, and they poured more than roaring, washing away the blood everywhere. After this large-scale fighting, the crowd really quieted down, and the riots tended to stop.

On the thirty-fifth day of the Great Crossing, Lin Yue organized a team to clean up the outside of the wall. The main task is to gather people to join the coalition zone, and the other is to bury or burn those who died as a result of the riots.

Two days later, the riots in this area of Wonsan finally ended, and the current pattern of Wonsan was completely determined.

Because of the riots, the total number of people in Wonsan is only about 60,000. The number of people in the Wonsan Alliance District has reached 33,000, of which only 10,000 are full members. In addition, there are many small forces outside the alliance area with a number of several hundred to thousands of people, and the total number of these forces is 20,000 or 30,000. Of course, there are nearly 10,000 people who are still wandering aimlessly.

"Lin Yue, the riot is solved, but the famine still exists, and it is getting worse." On a flat ground in the No. 1 Alliance Area, Zheng Haizheng and Lin Yue were discussing the problems they were facing.

"Rest assured, sufficient labor force and stable order are destined for economic development." Lin Yue said with a smile.

Zheng Hai listened to Lin Yue's words, pondered for a while, and still didn't think it through, and asked: "There are a lot of laborers, how can we develop the economy." The economy is the most important thing, food is the most important thing. Now that there is no prey in the Wonsan area, the planting of plants cannot mature for a while, and it is not possible to sustain it for long just by eating grass roots and gnawing the bark. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yue grinned and said, "Don't forget that we still have a Yuan River here. ”

Zheng Hai's eyes widened suddenly, and then he couldn't help laughing, "Yes, why didn't I think of it, fishery, fishery!" ”

Soon, the remaining manpower in the five areas of the Union Zone immediately began to build boats and weave fishing nets.

In fact, as early as the time when the big crossing just happened, some groups relying on the river tried to do it, but the results were not very ideal. First of all, these people did not have the right tools to build boats, and even if they did, they were small rafts made of crude ones, which were dangerous to operate.

In addition, these people did not have a suitable rope to weave fishing nets, and they could use hay rope to build the walls of their houses, but fishing nets were not at all. If you want to weave a fishing net, you need a slender and flexible rope, so that the mouth of the net will be very dense, and you can really catch fish and shrimp.

To get those slender ropes, you have to look for those fiber-rich plants, extract the knotted rope material from them, and weave them into thin ropes. These are all technical tasks, and without this knowledge, ordinary people simply cannot do it.

What's more, fishing requires skill, which takes a lot of time to learn. However, what people here lack most is time, not long after the Great Crossing happened, virus attacks, famine and riots followed, how can any collective have time to study how to fish.

Now that the alliance area is stable, and Lin Yue also knows how to make strings, driven by various conditions, it is needless to say that he goes down to the river to fish.

Forty days after the big crossing, the crude boats in the alliance area went down to the river to fish, although more than a dozen boats did not catch many fish and shrimp in a day, but there were nearly 100 catties, which was enough to make the people in the alliance area excited.

Although the fish caught on the first day was only nearly 100 catties, this is only the beginning, and the more you will be able to catch in the future. The Yuan River has never been fished here, so the fishery resources are very rich. Now small boats in the Union area can fish not far from the shore, and when the big boats are built, they will go to the middle of the river to fish, and the harvest will definitely be even greater.

After the fish and meat were put into the warehouse, the price of meat in the alliance area suddenly dropped a lot, from the original 20 points a catty to 15 points a catty. But people are not in a hurry to buy meat, because they know that with the development of the fishing industry, the price of meat will definitely become cheaper and cheaper.

The other small forces around Wonsan also discovered the big action of fishing in the alliance area, and they also got excited and wanted to go down to the river to fish, but when it was really implemented, they found it difficult to implement. But these are only temporary, and they can catch fish and shrimp in a few days.

However, it is the vacancy time of these few days that is the most deadly, and the vast majority of people find that their lives in the small forces are difficult to compare with those in the alliance zone, so many people give up the small forces and turn to the alliance zone.

On the second day of the implementation of the fishery development, that is, forty-one days after the Great Crossing, Lin Yue convened a meeting of all the district representatives of the six regions of the alliance area, and this time, Lin Yue was about to truly exercise political rule.

A large wooden house was built in the center of Union District 1 to serve as a synagogue, and a total of 57 district representatives from the six districts of the Union District were seated for meetings. Lin Yue was responsible for leading the meeting as the leader, and Zheng Hai, Zhao Minghui, and Wu Hang were the deputy leaders responsible for the operation of the meeting.

The convening of this meeting is also officially named, called the first meeting of Metaverse.

The main issues discussed at the meeting were divided into several major items, including the political system, ranks, military affairs, personnel arrangements, regional divisions, and so on. The meeting also lasts for several days, during which all delegates can speak their minds or speak on behalf of the population.

During the period, the first meeting project was proposed by Lin Yue, talking about regional naming. Lin Yue renamed the alliance Yuancheng, the No. 1 alliance area was renamed Zhongyuan District, and the other four alliance districts were called Qinglong District, Baihu District, Vermilion Bird Qu, and Xuanwu District according to the division of the four elephants. All the number zones or alphabet zones in each area have been abolished, and the people in the area can move around freely and live under the jurisdiction of the district committees of each region.

In addition, Lin Yue also proposed the second meeting project, which is to build roads. As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and if you use roads to connect various areas, the flow of people between Yuancheng will be greatly strengthened, and it will be able to promote development even more.
