When Lu Chen told the team leaders the good news, they had no appetite for food anymore!
After Lu Chen left, this group of people also took their jobs and couldn't wait to return to their respective sheds to tell everyone the good news.
So the originally lifeless construction site barracks suddenly exploded.
Some laughed, some cried, some sang loudly, and some banged their heads on the ground.
Specific notices were posted soon, and wherever there were notices, there were crowds of people inside and outside.
Even though these people are illiterate, they are willing to stand here and wait for literate scholars to come out and talk to them.
Soon everyone realized that they still had some money and that it was possible to get their houses back.
One of the old men burst into tears and said, "I've heard before that the Imperial Master is a compassionate person. He took the risks and compensated for the losses in order to let the people of Da Qi live a good life. I didn't believe it at the time, but now I see it, I'm really ashamed!"
"Old man, don't be so anxious to sigh. Tell us more about what this regulation is specifically."
"The charter is that everyone works hard and lives well. When Quanzhou City is rebuilt, we will be able to live in new houses!"
Just a few simple words caused the crowd gathered here to stir again.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "A new house? Is it the same new house we lived in before?"
"How is that possible? My master once went to see the blueprints of the new Quanzhou City. He said it was like a fairyland. Can we really live in a place like that?"
The old man who read the notice nodded and said, "It's clearly written here. Anyone who participates in the construction is eligible to purchase real estate in Quanzhou City. And these are all newly built houses we have built ourselves. They are definitely much better than your previous houses!"
"Also, it says above that if you don't rush to withdraw money from your insurance company, you can use this money directly to purchase the property and get a discount."
"I won't bring it up, absolutely not. We'll have to work on the construction site in the future, so where can we go if we bring it up now? We might as well keep it and buy a house. That's a new house. To be honest, I've been fed up with my old house for a long time, and I don't have the money to renovate it."
"Now that the house has been burned down by those White Lotus bastards, there's no need to renovate it; it's brand new! The White Lotus came at the right time! Why didn't they burn the house down earlier?"
"Everyone! Listen to me, Quanzhou City is where we're going to live from now on. I don't care how you worked before, but from now on, everyone has to be diligent and clean. After all, this house is where we're going to live, so we can't let ourselves get in trouble!"
"You're right. Today I saw someone urinating on the ground. If I see it again, I'll confiscate his tools!"
Some people also said with a frown: "What should I do? I'm already planning to go to distant relatives for help. Can I really withdraw this money?"
The old man who was in charge of reading the notice nodded and said, "It can indeed be submitted, but the Imperial Master also said that because there are so many people who need compensation at once, the process may be slow. It will take about three months."
"Hey, three months. Let me tell you, it's better not to go live with your relatives. You'll be looked down upon if you go there these days anyway. It's better to just stay here and work honestly. Everyone knows that people are despised when they leave their hometown."
"We can't blame the Imperial Master for being slow. After all, who could have imagined that the White Lotus Sect would be so cruel? It's good enough that they're willing to pay compensation. How can we still look down on them?"
People of this era do not understand the concept of insurance, nor do they know how insurance makes a profit.
In their simple values, they always feel that it is incredible that someone would compensate you with a large sum of money for no apparent reason.
This is like a pie falling from the sky, and it suddenly hits you on the head when you are most desperate. How can you still complain that the pie tastes bad at this time? This is unreasonable.
"You should trust the court. If you want to do business, you should do it with people who have connections to the court. Look how generous they are, they just compensated you with a house. By the way, where's that friend who said your master saw the blueprints? Where's your master? Come out and say a few words to us."
"Hey, stop looking, my master has already jumped into the river!"
Perhaps compared to ordinary people, those once wealthy businessmen would find it even more difficult to accept the fact that they became destitute overnight.
Someone couldn't help but sigh and said, "What a pity! It's a pity that we didn't wait for this good news!"
"Everyone, do you know what insurance is? What kind of services does it cover? I think you should pay more attention to it in the future."
"I don't know what you're thinking, but from now on I'll stick with the Central Bank. The imperial court won't cheat us!"
Anyway, in the past two days, many once-prosperous businessmen have chosen to end their lives by jumping into the river.
After returning to the boat, Zhao Gongming's mouth was still open. He was so shocked by Lu Chen's handwriting.
He thought that he had robbed people of their money, burned down their houses, and now forced them to work for him on the construction site. This was already Lu Chen's limit.
He could never have imagined that what was happening now was just the limit of his imagination, not Lu Chen's bottom line.
The imperial court wouldn't cheat the people? That only means the people are too naive.
