Chapter 21 Icon Restoration Plan
In the Governor's Office at the top of the tower.
"Master Governor, this is the information you want"
Baev handed Ron a statistical table recording the manpower and materials needed to repair the icon.
He looked worried: "Sir, do we really have to be in such a hurry to repair the icon? This is a huge pressure on the Wangting District"
Ron's tone was unquestionable: "The King's Court District needs the Holy Statue of the God Emperor to stabilize people's hearts. From now on, our first job is to repair the holy statue!"
The lack of food and supplies has led to the control of the King's Court District. The power is constantly weakening.
If this problem is not solved, the army that can maintain its rule will collapse, the Wangting District will be destroyed, and he will also die.
So, Ron needs a strong endorsement and spiritual totem as support.
To make the people and the military believe in themselves, to generate the power of hope.
To put it simply, Ron wants to paint a pie for everyone, and he has to make them believe it.
Then the "miracle" of the God Emperor is the best choice and the only choice!
Of course the "miracle" is fake, but the power of hope collected is real.
Once enough power of hope is collected to open the portal to the space ship, the food problem will be solved!
Ron carefully explained to Bayev the purpose of restoring the icon.
Of course, he only talked about the superficial purpose of repairing the icon, and he was determined not to reveal anything related to the Little Sun.
"I understand what you mean." Bayev listened carefully and nodded to express understanding.
In his understanding, although this matter is a bit troublesome, if it is handled well, it will still be of some benefit to Wangting District.
If you plan carefully, there won't be too much trouble.
At worst, we can just suppress them when the time comes, just to get rid of part of the redundant population.
"The restoration of the icon is very important, so I leave it to you."
Ron looked at Bayev: "Please come up with a specific plan and show it to me..."
"My Lord Governor, I will satisfy you!"
Baev's attitude is firm.
Now that the Governor has made a decision, as a senior manager, he has no right to question it.
Only resolute execution!
Baev accepted the order and immediately went out to prepare.
Seeing the other party go out, Ron continued to write and draw with his head down.
The restoration of the icon and the display of "miracles" are just the beginning. A series of subsequent actions are required to achieve the best results.
Not long after, there was a knock on the office door again.
Bayev came back to report on his work.
He is worthy of being a senior manager and handles things extremely well.
A complete plan was made in just two hours.
According to Bayev's plan, since the "miracle" is to be displayed, the work of restoring the icon must be carried out secretly to maintain mystery.
He proposed to relocate the residential area closest to the Sacred Square, and at the same time strengthen patrols around it to prohibit any unrelated persons from approaching.
Just in case, he also arranged for a team of people to perform sealing work.
The deadline for the restoration work is on the eve of the "Emperor's Ascension Day" to ensure that the sacred statue of the God Emperor can appear in front of everyone in its entirety on that day.
Two weeks until the deadline.
During this period, Bayev will call on all the manpower currently available in the Wangting District.
Use engineering equipment to carry out saturation work to ensure the smooth progress of the repair work.
In short, everything is arranged and ready to go as soon as Ron nods.
“I am very satisfied with your plan, but is it too simple to just repair it?”
“What do you mean?”
“Since you want to If you do it, 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 treasure house of the King's Court District on the statue of the God Emperor. Get a golden icon.
The main theme is shocking!
Anyway, those things are no longer useful 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!”
Things were almost explained, but Ron was still a little worried and added a few more points.
"I have two more requests. One is that certain compensation must be given to the relocation area, and the other is that the methods should be as gentle as possible during the construction period to avoid casualties!"
In view of Bayev's past deeds, It would be better to remind him. Otherwise, it would be too cruel to build a project and kill a lot of people.
For Ron, population is the most precious nourishment.
Be treated kindly, so as to give birth to the power of hope!
"I understand" Bayev said with a serious expression and vowed: "I will resolutely implement your will, and everything will be as you wish!"
After making the promise, he saluted Ron and then Left in a hurry.
It is comfortable to have capable subordinates, and you don’t have to worry about anything.
Ron lay back on the soft chair and stretched deeply!
He came up with a few more prototypes of the plan, and then pressed the button on the table.
Government officials from various departments in Wangting District came in one after another. They took the documents to complete and implement them.
This is power.
No matter how outrageous what Ron has in mind, the people in the entire King's Court District and territory will do their best to make it come true for him! ——
Time passed, and the project plan for the restoration of the Holy Emperor's Statue was halfway through implementation.
Everything was going on quietly, and the people were not aware of it, but they just lamented that the night ban was much stricter.
Only Ron knew that this was a huge gamble, and Wangting District had paid too much for it.
The restoration work of the icon went relatively smoothly, but there was still a slight hiccup in the process.
It can be said that the restoration work of the icon went very smoothly, but there was a slight glitch in the middle.
According to the calculations of the craftsmen, the gold reserves in the Wangting District treasure house are not enough to paint the entire holy statue, and the effect will be somewhat compromised.
How can Ron agree to this? You can’t cut corners on a spectacle!
He had no choice but to attack his spire mansion.
He asked people to pry away all the gold decorated in the mansion, including gold furniture, dishes, etc.
The same goes for gems!
In short, don’t keep any gold or gems!
Ron doesn’t really like this luxurious style anyway, it’s too dazzling!
After all this hard work, I finally got enough gold.
After special treatment, the gold will be plated on the statue of the God Emperor on the night before the "Emperor's Ascension Festival".
The gem will also be embedded with the icon at the same time.
After stripping away all the gold and gems, the spire mansion became much simpler.
Even a bit poor.
Linda, the head maid, has been a little unhappy these days and quietly wipes away her tears.
She was worried that something had happened to the Governor, and she was even more afraid that she would be abandoned.
If something goes wrong with the Governor, what will these maids do?
Ron noticed something strange about her: "What's wrong with you, are you unhappy?"
Linda had suppressed her emotional outburst for several days, and threw herself into Ron's arms, bouncing around.
She said with a trembling voice, "Please don't drive me away, okay?"
Linda grew up in Wangting District and received training from the Grant family.
The only purpose of life is to serve Lord Ron well.
She has almost never been to the outside world, but she is vaguely aware of the horror of the outside world.
A few years ago she could even hear the sound of gunfire coming from outside. The house was about to collapse. It was really scary!
Fortunately, everything is over.
Although many people have disappeared, she can still continue to serve the Governor.
Now the Governor is more charming and gentler to her.
She couldn't help but confide in him and wanted to be held tightly in his arms.
It would be nice to rest with the Governor. Linda often falls into such fantasies.
But this illusion was quickly shattered.
Many people came into the house and knocked everything away. Even the governor's tableware was moved away.
She really likes those tableware and wipes them carefully every day to give the Governor the most perfect dining experience!
But all this is gone.
Linda was so worried that she would leave the Governor just like those beautiful tableware...
Ron patiently listened to Linda's story and stroked her back: "So it's because of this that you misunderstood..."
He did not tell Linda the truth, but only comforted her.
He asked people to come and remove the gold and precious stones because he was tired of the decorations and wanted to change his style.
"Do your best and I won't drive you away," Ron said firmly, "Never."
Linda raised her head and looked at Ron, her eyes blurred and as full as water.
"Your Majesty the Governor..."
