Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1343 - 1184: Dividing Houses
Previously on Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System...
With the completion of the community’s construction, Lin Yi finally issued an official decree to gather all those who had previously occupied the land and houses and bring them here.
When people heard the news, they were all incredibly excited because they knew one thing for certain: The Emperor would definitely provide them with new homes.
Moreover, these people had always believed the Emperor would do this, a belief that was resolute and unwavering.
As for their current living conditions, although they were temporary structures, they were already much better compared to their previous homes.
Indeed, the temporary housing was much cleaner and tidier than the thatched huts they lived in before.
They even thought that even if they were not compensated or provided new houses by the Emperor, they would willingly and unquestioningly live here for a lifetime.
It was worth noting that in this place, not only could they live in clean accommodations, but their daily meals were also provided.
Indeed, as they occupied others’ homes and lands, it was only fair that they were provided meals.
Today, just after they finished eating, they received a notice to gather and were brought to this latest housing area, which thrilled them beyond measure.
This place called a community was something they had already heard about and seen before, which is exactly why they knew it was going to become one of the most upscale residential areas in the entire nation.
This also caused them to feel both admiration and trepidation, as they couldn’t even imagine who might live here.
At that moment, when they were all assembled, their Emperor personally arrived, already waiting onsite, which overwhelmed them with emotion and they collectively knelt down in reverence.
The first thing upon seeing Lin Yi was to kneel and kowtow in respect, even though Lin Yi was known to be amiable and often featured in newspapers. His actions were propagated widely, and his image appeared in the news, something they had never seen before.
But even so, seeing the real Lin Yi, seeing the real Emperor, was incredibly rare, which made them all extremely excited.
Especially for these commoners, the highest official they would normally encounter might only be the Chief Administrator of the capital.
Usually, high-ranking officials would travel in sedan chairs or carriages, making it nearly impossible to see them up close. Moreover, when these important figures traveled, roadblocks were placed around their carriages to ensure commoners wouldn’t see or disturb them.
The sight of a living Emperor was unprecedented, and many elderly men witnessed a real, living Emperor for the first time in their lives, making them genuinely overwhelmed with excitement.
Upon seeing the crowd below, Lin Yi smiled with satisfaction, a smile heartfelt from within, harboring no grievances or ill feelings towards the people, recognizing they were among the world’s most struggling individuals.
"Haha. You may all rise now, there’s no need for such formalities."
Upon hearing Lin Yi’s voice and tone, the people’s hearts were inevitably touched with emotion.
After all, what kind of status does the Emperor hold? He is the ruler of the nation!
Thus, each person felt that the Emperor would be immensely formidable and unsmiling, yet to their surprise, he actually smiled at them and spoke with such gentleness, deeply moving them.
In response to such a voice, they gradually stood up, though many still dared not lift their heads to look at the Emperor, lowering their heads in fear of offending the Emperor with their gaze.
After all, the Emperor is the ruler of the nation, making it unthinkable for these lowly commoners to dare look directly at him.
Of course, there were a few bold children who lifted their heads. But when Lin Yi saw their dirty appearances, with faces smeared with dirt, he couldn’t help but feel a touch of sorrow.
Some of these children appeared barely as old as Luo Ning, yet far more mature, with eyes reflecting an indescribable feeling, as if they could bear the burdens for their families despite their young bodies.
It’s a sentiment absent in children like Luo Ning, born with a silver spoon.
Thus, having children himself, Lin Yi naturally felt a sense of compassion when looking at these kids.
