Early in the morning, the servants dug Lin Xingchen out of bed, washed her face, brushed her teeth and combed her hair, and then put on her silk wedding dress piece by piece.

After a lot of trouble, he finally got it done. Looking at himself in the mirror, Lin Xingchen couldn't bear to look at himself.

Her face, which was already pale, was powdered, and her lips, like a chicken's butt, were a bit eye-catching. Roy was sent by the bride to spy on information, and he screamed when he saw Lin Xingchen's appearance.

"Who did this? How can it be so ugly? Wipe it off quickly. Remember, don't put powder on your face or lip gloss on your lips. In short, there are a lot of don'ts and don'ts to make Lin Xingchen feel that she has good taste."

After seeing Roy giving instructions, the people doing makeup put on their makeup one by one and felt much more comfortable when they looked in the mirror again.

Roy looked left and right before nodding with satisfaction, then trotted over to the bride.

Standing in front of the windowsill, I kept chewing an apple in my hand. I hadn't eaten anything in the morning when these people got me dressed up. Now there was still some time before the wedding, so I quickly filled my stomach.

Looking at the busy crowd downstairs, Lin Xingchen was actually indifferent and did not feel any excitement about getting married.

What he was thinking about instead was the future development plan for Maple Leaf Territory. The Maple Leaf Territory, which had been in operation for three years, had experienced an explosive absorption wave.

Nearly 400,000 homeless or unable to survive families have moved to Maple Leaf Territory. Normally, the refugee territories or the chief executive would not allow the acceptance of these people.

However, the disaster gave Maple Leaf Territory an opportunity. Unable to provide sufficient food for these refugees, they had no choice but to allow these refugees to move around.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Xingchen immediately asked people to spread the word, saying that in Maple Leaf Territory, one could exchange work for food. As long as one worked for them, not only could one get food but one could also settle down there.

In order to survive, the refugees came here with their families, and Maple Leaf Territory had already made preparations.

The stoves built with more than twenty fire magic arrays developed by Lin Xingchen were running all day long, constantly steaming buns and cooking porridge to provide food for the refugees.

After solving the food problem, the next issue was resettlement. Because there were not enough tents, the refugees had to sleep outdoors. Lin Xingchen would naturally not allow this situation, and once again issued an order to open up wasteland and let those refugees who had eaten and had strength to cut wood.

After the huge trees were felled one by one, wooden houses were built. It is better to have one than not, at least there is no need to worry about the sun and rain.

The gathering of a large number of refugees is most likely to cause an epidemic. People have to be evacuated continuously and the sick ones have to be isolated. Everyone in the territory is busy and exhausted.

After enduring the most difficult time, it was the harvest season. More than 400,000 people poured in at one time, bringing devastating work difficulties to Barry. This guy didn't sleep for three days and finally collapsed on his desk. If he hadn't been discovered early, he would have died.

Fortunately, Anna and Avril arrived in time. They had experience in managing chambers of commerce, which provided them with a lot of convenience in getting started with their work.

After everyone was settled, Lin Xingchen made a calculation and found that the work-for-relief program provided him with nearly 100,000 acres of reclaimed land and more than 20 bare hilltops.

In order to keep these people going, Lin Xingchen thought of many ways. First, he started to reclaim land on a large scale and all the land that could be reclaimed would belong to the pioneers. He not only rented tools but also large animals such as oxen.

After that, seeds will be rented to them, and everyone can enjoy these benefits as long as they register as an immigrant.

In order to repay the rental costs, the tax revenue in the first three years was increased from three levels to four levels of land output.

Even so, the refugees were very grateful. Not only did the land get greatly developed, but the factories and plantations also seized the opportunity to build factories and expand the industrial parks.

Those businessmen who came to invest were initially worried because they couldn't find anyone, but as refugees joined for three consecutive years, their expressions suddenly changed.

Countless chambers of commerce lined up waving their purchase receipts, factories took away every piece of cloth they produced, and as soon as they heard that the winery's red wine was about to be released, people lined up overnight to pick up the goods.

Canned fruits and vegetables are in short supply, and all of this is due to the benefits of the cooperation with Owen Griffin in recent years.

This Owen is indeed a capable man. He not only has connections with the grassland tribes, but also with the top leaders of the Sharpnero Empire.

The profit can be multiplied tenfold if the goods are transported to the easternmost province of Shapnero, but the profit can be increased to more than thirty times if the goods are transported to their imperial capital, although these goods with a thirty-fold price difference are all known to be high-quality products.

But even the most ordinary piece of cotton cloth could earn at least six times the profit when it arrived at Sharpnero. Such huge profits naturally made those merchants turn into great white sharks and flock to Maple Leaf to purchase goods.

As the population increases, more talents will naturally emerge, and with the addition of these talents, the territory will develop even faster. The problem facing Lin Xingchen now is that the market demand is too large and he has no way to improve the efficiency of shipment.

Faced with such a difficult problem, Lin Xingchen's solution is naturally industrialization, replacing manual labor with machinery, but now the development of machinery has run into difficulties and this plan has to be put on hold.

Since Lin Xingchen had no way to achieve mechanization for the time being, Owen's method was implemented. The method was simple: continue to establish plantations to grow raw materials, build more factories, and recruit more workers to increase production.

As far as Lin Xingchen knew, there was no land left in the entire Griffin family's fiefdom for growing crops. In Charles' words, the completely crazy Duke Griffin had ordered that all the large flower pots in his backyard be planted with mulberry trees.

The first partner, the Southern Duke George family, is equally crazy. With Lin Xingchen's strong technical support, they now have fully loaded carriages pulling out goods every day.

Such a commotion naturally made many people jealous, and many nobles with territories around Maple Leaf Territory also came to pay homage to Duke Green.

According to the unspoken rules among the nobles, if one wants to discuss cooperation with Lin Xingchen, one must first meet Duke Green. One cannot bypass him and meet Lin Xingchen directly, otherwise it will be regarded as exceeding authority.

Green handled this kind of thing very well, and everyone who came to him would get a satisfactory answer. If it weren't for the natural disasters in the past few years, Lin Xingchen and Charles' large group of accountants believed that Maple Leaf Territory's development could be taken to a higher level.

These are all minor characters. What really makes Lin Xingchen feel a little embarrassed is the pressure from the kingdom. However, Lin Xingchen still has a solution to these problems. He can arrange these things after his wedding.

"Young master, the time has come and all the guests have arrived." The servant's reminder sounded outside the door, interrupting Lin Xingchen's thoughts.

After opening the door, Lin Xingchen walked in the corridor with his head held high. Although this wedding was just a pretext for him to achieve his goal, Lin Xingchen did not intend to just go through with it casually. This would be too unfair to Evelin.

The downstairs was already crowded with guests. This time it was not an engagement, but many nobles who wanted to gain some benefits from Maple Leaf Territory came uninvited just for a noble party after the wedding.

After a snap of his fingers, Lin Xingchen appeared in front of the crowd from the corridor. His outfit today matched his flowing white hair very well. Many women present were whispering to each other.

"Here comes the bride..." A clear child's voice outside the gate made everyone stop talking. The servants opened the closed doors on the left and right. Luke was helping his daughter get down from the sedan chair made of flowers.

As they were helped to the door, the band started playing music, and the originally chaotic crowd suddenly lined up neatly one by one. Evelin, wearing a white wedding dress, was exceptionally beautiful today, and her pure big eyes were full of excitement.

Behind them, two cute and well-behaved children were holding wedding dresses and holding flowers in their left hands, following their father step by step towards Lin Xingchen in the middle.

The short journey was a series of beautiful memories for Evelin. Although the two did not have any thrilling romantic stories, they had the kind of friendship that moistened everything silently. For Evelin, being able to get to this day was like a dream.

The music for the bride and groom to meet each other stopped, and Luke handed his daughter's hand to Lin Xingchen: "I'm handing her over to you today. I hope you can treat her as always."

"Don't worry uncle, I won't make her sad."

The person who presided over Lin Xingchen's wedding was the Duke of Griffin. This duke, who was said to have planted mulberry trees and cotton on all his land, looked very kind. His face, wrapped in a carefully trimmed beard, was full of smiles, and he looked at Lin Xingchen as if he was looking at the best treasure in the world.

"Today, as the current head of the Griffin family, I will preside over the wedding for the newlyweds in front of me." The voice was amplified by magic and spread throughout the house.

"Groom from the Star Family, are you willing to marry this beautiful girl in front of you? Are you willing to love and care for her for the rest of her life, whether she is rich or poor, sick or dead?"

"I do!"

"Bride from the Helen family, are you willing to marry this promising young man? Are you willing to accompany him for the rest of his life, whether in poverty or in wealth, in sickness or in death?"

"I do!"

“At this moment, as an elder, I would like to witness and bless the newlyweds in front of me to officially become husband and wife.” After saying this, he led the applause.

The scene was suddenly filled with a sea of ​​applause. Lin Xingchen even saw Aunt Linda secretly wiping away tears, and Roy's eyes were filled with tears of excitement.

Extending his hand to signal everyone to stop, Lin Xingchen said to Evelin, “I have a precious gift for you today.”
