Chapter 252: Final Structure of the Five Major Villages
The farmer delegation's tour exchange session went very smoothly, and it must be said, the confidence and anticipation brought by counting rice spikes were truly overwhelming.
When the delegation returned to Chixian City, their experiences quickly spread among the refugee groups.
The delegation's representatives were all highly credible figures among the refugees, so the mood of over ten thousand refugees was stabilized almost without much effort.
In fact, the influence of the delegation's experiences extended even further,
aside from the refugees who had already decided to return to the fields, some refugees determined to stay in the city could not help but change their attitude after hearing the news, writing down their family's names on the return-home form.
The rabbits naturally welcomed this, as food is something that is always needed.
With the current expansion of the rabbits' territory, food consumption is continuously increasing—for example, Sheepback City has a demand of over sixty thousand people, even after deducting the original farming system of Sheepback City, the food shortage is at least one to two thousand.
If possible, the rabbits wish that all the residents of Chixian City would engage in farming.
At the same time, Shi Zehong was also giving Lin Li the final report before the completion of the affiliated villages in the camp:
"Captain Lin, of the six villages we helped plan for Chixian City, apart from the one belonging to our new village, the other five villages are already in the final closing stages.
This is the latest progress table of various infrastructures, and the command center can start preparing for the village information integration issue."
Lin Li nodded and took the report from Shi Zehong.
According to the results discussed by the command center, apart from the new village belonging to the rabbits, the five affiliated villages of Chixian City are named:
Da Liushu Village, Jian Family Manor, Han Gou Village, Wo Hu Village, Xiaoyaowang Village.
These five villages are located in the east, west, and south of Chixian City, among which Da Liushu Village is the village that the delegation previously visited.
As Shi Zehong continued:
"We have already started the creation of village resident registrations, apart from the new area, there will be over thirteen thousand village resident certificates printed.
In these five villages, Jian Family Manor and Wo Hu Village will mainly be formed on a clan basis.
The other three villages will be formed based on the 'second service' from the 'five services', namely, the ancestral bloodline relationship as the individual structure.
In other words, a household in these three villages would normally have only two bloodline relatives.
There are about two hundred relative modules in each village—this ratio is similar to the one established after the northeast migration, with familiar people, but mostly strangers."
After listening to Shi Zehong's report, Lin Li nodded slightly.
Among the groups of refugees the rabbits accepted before, there were two large clusters of over two thousand refugees each, originating from two surrounding cities breached by the beast tide.
Most of these refugees are connected by kinship, belonging to the largest family group in the mortal world encountered by the rabbits.
Considering the strong desire of this group of refugees to stick together,
after discussion by the command center and the core team, it was decided to merge these two large bloodline groups into two family villages.
The advantage of such villages is that they can quickly stabilize, adapt to the environment, and swiftly engage in productive work.
As for the potential clan power that might arise... that's really not an issue.
Local clans are indeed a persistent problem in the homeland, causing endless trouble for township leaders.
In recent years, due to relatively better new rural construction, although early on there were numerous clan conflicts over water sources, forests, and farmland ownership.
It's safe to say that 70% of the matters in the countryside are the results of conflicts among clans.
But the Damo Realm is different.
Firstly, the Damo Realm possesses extraordinary powers, and in these chaotic times, the possibility of clans becoming local tyrants or emperors is close to zero.
If they had the ability, they wouldn't be fleeing with two thousand people starving along the way.
For example, in Jian Family Manor.
According to the command center's information, Jian Family Manor was originally part of a city called Fuling City, with a family history of over a hundred years.
But when the beast tide arrived, didn't they have to flee with their tails between their legs?
The situation in Wo Hu Village is a bit more special.
Although the city they belonged to was breached, due to the early retreat of the beast tide, many direct bloodlines of the ruling family survived.
In the rebuilding process of the city, that family took a liking to Wo Hu Village's untouched farmland, and forcibly evicted the entire village—the noteworthy aspect is that only one cultivator at the eighth level of Qi cultivation was dispatched at that time.
In the face of extraordinary powers represented by cultivators and monsters, the local clans at the mortal level indeed have no ability to resist.
Unless one becomes a cultivating family like the Wei Mansion, is there a possibility to transform from prey to a butcher—and clearly such possibility does not exist for Jian Family Manor and Wo Hu Village.
The second reason is even simpler:
Chixian City has the rabbits in charge.
With the rabbits' wall-breaking nature as disciples of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, is it possible for clan power to develop?
No need for something as vile as eavesdropping, a few public cameras are enough to leave your petty thoughts nowhere to hide.
Therefore, compared to the stability and unity brought by clan forces, the potential hazards of clan power really aren't of concern.
Then Lin Li continued to ask:
"Director Shi, have the village chiefs for these villages been selected?"
Shi Zehong nodded, indicating that Lin Li should turn over the materials in his hand to see:
"Currently, we have decided on the candidates for the chiefs of all five villages.
Among them, Jian Family Manor and Wo Hu Village have appointed their previous leaders considering stability as the priority.
The village chief of Jian Family Manor is named Jian Xiaolang, who used to be a city guard.
The Manor Master of Wo Hu Village is a cultivator who had his cultivation abolished, named Ge Tianba. After coming to the city, he was assigned to a construction site to move bricks, and due to his good performance, he was selected for the second batch of worker training classes.
Under the guidance of the instructors in the training class during this period, he has voluntarily changed his name to Ge Jianjun and applied to enlist.
As for the chiefs of the other three villages, we are adopting a management method of assigning special commissioners to the post with the assistance of clan elders.
These commissioners are all experienced old comrades at the grassroots level, with no major issues in dealing with people and adaptability.
In any case, the villages are very close to Chixian City, so we can contact each other at any time if there's anything.
As for the remaining new village, it might take another month to complete."
Lin Li nodded slightly upon hearing this.
According to the previous agreement with Chixian City, one of the six villages will be entirely owned by the rabbits.
This will also be the first genuine residential point established by the rabbits in the Damo Realm.
After all, previously, whether it was the Fire Camp or the military base, their research functions overshadowed the residential nature, let alone economic topics.
So the rabbits are very attentive to the new area, with a long-term plan and building scale far surpassing the other villages.
Even the villagers moving into the new area have been carefully selected by the organization before being finalized.
They are primarily honest and hard-working farmers and workers, with no idlers or scoundrels.
After all, it is the first time, and the sense of ceremony must be fully realized.
Then Shi Zehong suddenly thought of something, lightly patted his head, and said:
"Captain Lin, there's another issue that I almost forgot to mention.
That is, according to the current output of the farm machinery factory in Chixian City, there might be a considerable shortage of agricultural equipment once the villages are established.
So should we report this to the home side and request some support for more agricultural equipment?"
As Shi Zehong said.
Currently, Chixian City's farm machinery factory has just started, and the output of the small farm machinery factory is quite limited.
With more than thirteen thousand villagers, calculated as three people per household, the equipment demand is also over four thousand households.
This shortfall is not small, so Shi Zehong's idea is quite reasonable.
However, to Shi Zehong's surprise, Lin Li shook his head, rejecting his proposal:
"Let's not request support from the homeland.
Firstly, our transport capacity has mostly been allocated for the spiritual energy transmission between the two realms, and the antenna arrays and stations required by Ziqiong City also need to be transferred.
Moreover, the coal mine has not yet formally started production, and every day we have to transfer a batch of coal from the homeland to the Damo Realm, which is an unnecessary extra burden.
Secondly, since we've chosen to develop small industries in the Damo Realm, let's allow the entire industrial system to form naturally.
Having fewer machines is okay; at worst, everyone takes turns using them, and we are not in urgent need of food."
Speaking of the farm machinery factory, Lin Li suddenly thought of something and asked Shi Zehong:
"By the way, Director Shi, speaking of the farm machinery factory...have you met Director Qin of the factory?"
Shi Zehong nodded:
"Are you referring to Director Qin Hai? I met him during the project handover, and I heard he's also a veteran of the industry."
Lin Li smiled, poured him a cup of tea, and a trace of reminiscence appeared on his face:
"His past is quite extraordinary, as he managed to impress many foreigners at the Paris exhibition back in the day... Tsk, tsk, he had already retired for many years, and this time insisted on coming to the Damo Realm.
He is a national treasure of ours, so you absolutely must ensure Director Qin's safety.
Also, another Director Lin Zhenhua will be coming to the Damo Realm soon, and you should also look after him. He's getting up in years too."
Shi Zehong nodded solemnly:
"Rest assured, everything is on me."
And just as Lin Li and Shi Zehong were talking, certain actions on the home front officially began...
