Chapter 197 Territory Work and Recognition

After inspecting the army, Ji Lin returned to the city hall to handle official business.

Only after handling official business can he feel at ease to leave the territory again to start the development plan.

It is not only the land and buildings that need to be dealt with, but also the people.

The final statistics have come out. After the medical assistance of the territory, although no one died in this era promotion, 300 people suffered minor injuries of different conditions, and 23 people in the territory suffered more than minor injuries due to work, and three people in the territory were permanently disabled due to work accidents.

They are all warriors who dare to carry sandbags to fill the sandbags that were collapsed by the flood when the flood peak arrives.

Two lost an arm and one lost a leg.

The broken limbs were washed away and disappeared with the river, and they themselves only saved their lives because their bodies were tied tightly with ropes.

The key point is how to deal with these three disabled people. Everyone is paying attention to them vaguely, and no one can guarantee that they will not be accidentally injured.

Ji Lin's statement as the lord is particularly important.

Regeneration of severed limbs is feasible in this world. The Holy City has this technology, but the territory cannot afford the price.

The territory will not be able to afford it for a long time.

But the people in the territory cannot be disappointed.

He decided to purchase special prosthetic limbs for these disabled people. The price is a little expensive, but it is much more comfortable to use than rough wooden prosthetic limbs. These disabled people in the territory can live in the newly built houses without doing any work, and the territory finances will provide support.

The injured are also funded by the territory finances to find the bishop for medical assistance to avoid further aggravation of the injury and infection.

Ji Lin rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly missed Gui Yu and Alicia. It was really tiring to manage everything alone.

If someone accompanied him, his passion for work would be greatly improved.

Sometimes Ji Lin felt that he was still a layman. He was very clear that he could not become a saint. He just tried his best.

Continue to check the report compiled by Qi Zhongshan for him.

The people in the territory who participated in the autumn harvest and floods can be assigned a house to live in.

1,700 people have already got their own houses. This meritorious list includes 1,800 of the remaining 2,400 people in the territory who currently have no houses to live in.

At the end of this time, 3,500 of the 4,000 people in the territory will get their own rooms and their own private space.

A room of 100 square meters, including main furniture, tables, chairs and beds.

Among the remaining 500 people, 400 are slaves from the fishing area, and 100 are residents who are not so motivated to work. Even if Ji Lin relaxes the standards this time, as long as you have participated in the night flood prevention rotation twice, you can upgrade the living standard from wooden houses to houses.

He did not pull the rest of the people to live in the houses.

He did not intend to be kind enough to let these 100 residents get houses, but let them compete with the upcoming 1,000 refugees.

After finishing today's work, Ji Lin collapsed in a chair. The winter sun was less scorching, and people could rarely feel a trace of warmth from the sun.

Old Li, leaning on a cane, limped to the front of the stage and looked at the wooden platform built in front of the town hall square.

He felt a little emotional. When he first came to this not-so-developed territory, the lord also stood on this wooden platform, announced the laws of the territory to them, and included them as formal citizens of the territory.

A few months later, the territory became prosperous at a speed beyond his imagination. Those beautiful and neat big houses were built in rows, the sound of blacksmiths was clanging, and the shouting in the carpenters' shop never stopped. Every time he went to work, he passed by the newly built sugar factory, and the brown sugar tasted really memorable.

There was also a winemaking workshop, and he could smell the faint aroma of wine from time to time. But the man laughed and told him that he only smelled the smell of wine koji, and broke off a small piece for Old Li to try. These were all left after brewing the wine.

Old Li took a sip, sour, with a negligible smell of wine.

They were still far from wanting to drink wine.

There are also those hanging in front of the beautiful wooden house that look like transparent crystals... The lord said that they are called rune lamps, and when the territory develops in the future, everyone can have them.

Lao Li likes that kind of lamp very much. The surface of the transparent crystal block is connected with beautiful patterns and carved into a pattern.

Very beautiful.

It seems that there is a moon hidden in the crystal.

This lord treats them much better than the landlord and the county magistrate. Although the grain they grow is harvested, he can eat every meal every day under the arrangement of the lord, and there are also several good dishes with meat. If he is not full, he can even add more rice freely.

Even though he is now disabled due to injuries, he still comes to visit him, who has lost his ability to work, and tells him in person that he can get a special prosthesis and can eat every meal without working for the rest of his life.

There is also the affairs officer of the territory who often works with them to invite him to participate in the commendation event.

It makes Lao Li feel flattered.

When he arrived at the scene, he saw two people who were disabled for life like himself. He only lost a leg and was unable to move, but they lost an arm and it was difficult for them to do handicrafts.

He recognized one of them. He was a master at weaving straw and could even make a bird out of straw. Now he lost an arm...

But Lao Li could still see the smile on his face, and Lao Li's mood, which had been a little depressed because of his broken leg, improved a lot.

The territory was not rich, and everything was simple and made do with what was available. There were no colorful flowers or decorations, only a red cloth with seven words written in yellow on it, "Labor Commendation Conference".

A temporary high platform built with wood, with three rows of chairs placed under the platform, was provided for the affairs officer and team members of the territory at the beginning of the commendation conference.

The three of them were arranged to sit in the second row, while the first row was occupied by the affairs officer of the territory and a high-level priest, a bishop and an elf.

The lord first briefly explained to them the future planning and development direction of the territory, including increasing the agricultural area of ​​the territory, planting crops, laying out a variety of food processing workshops, establishing trading stations with cities, and conducting direct transactions of diversified commodities.

Lao Li did not understand, but the three words the lord said left a deep impression on him.

Eat well, use well, and dress well.

Then, the citizens who were sitting in the second and third rows and had outstanding work performance were invited to the stage, and Ji Lin personally awarded them the Labor Medal with 20% gold content.

Ji Lin sensed his pocket watch and controlled the entire introduction time within 40 minutes.

"Thank you to the citizens who worked day and night to fight the flood, and thank you for your management and help. The territory showed unprecedented unity in the face of natural disasters. I hope to build a monument to commemorate your hard work."

Ji Lin said to everyone.

"What is the name of this monument?"

Suddenly someone asked him a question. Ji Lin looked at the audience and the eager eyes of the citizens.

"Let's call it a monument to commemorate everything we have done for this territory. It was created by us together."

He answered gently and firmly.
