Chapter 21: Icon Restoration Plan
In the Governor's Office at the top of the tower.
"Governor, this is the information you want."
Bayev handed Ron a statistical table, which recorded the manpower and materials needed to repair the statue.
He looked worried: "Sir, do we really have to repair the statue so anxiously? This is a huge pressure on the Royal Court District."
Ron's tone was unquestionable: "The Royal Court District needs the Holy Statue of the Emperor to stabilize people's hearts. From now on, our first task is to repair the statue!"
The lack of food and materials has led to the continuous weakening of the control of the Royal Court District.
If this problem is not solved, the army that can maintain the rule will collapse, the Royal Court District will be destroyed, and he will also usher in death.
Therefore, Ron needs a strong endorsement and spiritual totem as support.
To make the people and the army believe in themselves and give birth to the power of hope.
In short, Ron wants to paint a pie for everyone, and he has to make them believe it.
Then the "miracle" of the Emperor is the best choice and the only choice!
Of course, the "miracle" is fake, but the collected power of hope is real.
Once enough hope power is collected to open the portal to the space ship, the food problem will be solved!
Ron carefully explained to Bayev the purpose of repairing the statue.
Of course, he only talked about the superficial purpose of repairing the statue, and he must not reveal anything about the little sun.
"I understand what you mean." Bayev listened carefully and nodded to show his understanding.
In his understanding, although this matter is a bit troublesome, it will still be beneficial to the Royal Court District if it is done well.
Careful planning will not cause too much trouble.
At worst, it will be suppressed at that time, just in time to deal with some of the redundant population.
"The restoration of the statue is very important, so I'll leave it to you."
Ron looked at Bayev: "Please make a specific plan for me..."
"Governor, I will satisfy you!"
Bayev's attitude was firm.
Since the Governor has made a decision, he, as a senior steward, has no right to question it.
The only way is to execute it resolutely!
Bayev accepted the order and immediately went out to prepare.
Seeing the other party go out, Ron continued to write and draw.
The restoration of the statue and the display of the "miracle" are just the beginning. A series of actions are needed to cooperate in the future to achieve the best results.
Not long after, the door of the office was knocked again.
Bayev came back to report on his work.
He is worthy of being a senior manager, and he handles things very well.
In just two hours, he came up with a complete plan.
According to Bayev's plan, since the "miracle" is to be displayed, the work of restoring the statue must be carried out secretly to keep it mysterious.
He proposed to relocate the residential area closest to the Holy Square, and at the same time strengthen the patrols around it, prohibiting any unrelated personnel from approaching.
In order to be on the safe side, he also arranged a team of people to seal the mouth.
The deadline for the restoration work is on the eve of the "Emperor's Ascension Day" to ensure that the statue of the Emperor can appear in front of everyone intact on that day.
There are still two weeks before the deadline.
During this period, Bayev will call on all the manpower currently available in the Royal Court District.
Use engineering equipment and carry out saturation work to ensure the smooth progress of the restoration work.
In short, everything is ready, and we can start working after Ron nods.
"I am satisfied with your plan, but if it is just repair, isn't it too simple?"
"What do you mean?"
"Since we are going to do it, we should do it well and use more precious materials, otherwise how can we show our loyalty?"
Ron decided to pile all the gold, gems and other things in the treasury of the Royal Court on the statue of the Emperor of God and make a golden statue.
The main point is to shock people!
Anyway, those things are not used for the time being.
"What a great idea!"
Bayev's flattery leaves no trace: "I will arrange it and let the craftsmen make the best design!"
The things have been explained, but Ron is still a little worried and adds a few points.
"I have two more requests. One is to give certain compensation to the migration area, and the other is to use the means as gently as possible during the construction to avoid casualties!"
In view of Bayev's past deeds, it is better to remind him.
Otherwise, it is too cruel to build a project and kill a group of people.
For Ron, population is the most precious nutrient.
Be treated well, so as to give birth to the power of hope!
"I understand," Bayev said solemnly, "I will resolutely implement your will, and everything will be as you wish!"
After making a promise, he saluted to Ron and left in a hurry.
It's comfortable to have a capable subordinate, and you don't have to worry about anything.
Ron leaned back on the soft chair and stretched his body deeply!
He came up with a few more plans, and then pressed the button on the table.
Government officials from various departments of the Royal Court came in one after another, and they took away the documents to improve and implement them.
This is power.
No matter how outrageous Ron's thoughts were, the people of the entire Royal Court and the territory would do their best to realize them for him! ——
As time passed, the project plan for the restoration of the Holy Statue of the Emperor was halfway implemented.
Everything was going on quietly, and the people did not notice it, but they just lamented that the night ban was much stricter.
Only Ron knew that this was a gamble, and the Royal Court paid too much for it.
The restoration of the statue went smoothly, but there was a small incident in the middle.
The restoration of the statue can be said to be going very smoothly, but there was a small problem in the middle.
According to the calculations of the craftsmen, the gold reserves in the treasury of the Royal Court are not enough to paint the entire statue, and the effect will be discounted.
How could Ron agree to this? The wonder cannot be cut corners!
There was no choice but to start with his own spire mansion.
He asked people to pry away all the gold decorated in the mansion, including gold furniture, dinner plates, etc.
The same goes for gems!
In short, no gold or gems can be left!
Anyway, Ron doesn't like this luxurious style, it's too dazzling!
After all this trouble, he finally got enough gold.
The gold will be specially treated and will be plated on the statue of the God Emperor the night before the "Emperor's Ascension Day".
The gems will also be embedded in the statue at the same time.
After stripping off all the gold and gems, the spire mansion became much simpler.
It even has a bit of abject poverty.
The head maid Linda has been a little unhappy these days and wiped away tears quietly.
She was worried that something had happened to the Governor, and she was even more afraid that she would be abandoned.
If something happened to the Governor, what would happen to the maids?
Ron noticed her strangeness: "What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
Linda's emotions, which had been suppressed for a few days, burst out and she threw herself into Ron's arms, so bouncy.
She was in tears and trembling, "Can you please not drive me away?"
Linda grew up in the Royal Court District and was trained by the Grant family.
The only purpose of life is to serve Lord Ron well.
She had hardly been to the outside world, but she also vaguely sensed the horror of the outside world.
A few years ago, she could even hear the sound of artillery fire coming from outside, and the house was almost collapsed by the earthquake. It was really scary!
Fortunately, everything was over.
Although many people were gone, she could still continue to serve the Governor.
Now the Governor was more charming and gentler to her.
She always couldn't help but confide in him and wanted to be held tightly in his arms.
Linda often fell into such a fantasy that she could accompany the Governor to rest.
But such a fantasy was soon broken.
Many people came into the house and knocked and knocked away everything, even the Governor's tableware.
She liked those tableware so much, and wiped them carefully every day to give the Governor the most perfect dining experience!
But all this was gone.
Linda was so worried that she would leave the Governor just like those beautiful tableware...
Ron listened to Linda's confession patiently and stroked her back gently: "So it's because of this matter, you misunderstood..."
He didn't tell Linda the truth, but just comforted her.
He asked people to remove the gold and gems because he was tired of those decorations and wanted to change the style.
"Do your job well, I won't drive you away" Ron said firmly: "Never"
Linda looked up at Ron, her eyes blurred and full of water.
"Governor..."
