318 The Idea Of A rger
Selma Payne’s POV:
However, with the passage of thousands of years, the ancestors’ glory could no longer solve the problems of future generations. Without a way out, this place inevitably declined.
The area of the two packs was not large, slightly smaller than the smallest district in the territory of the Lycan pack. This was also why I could complete the inspection of both packs in a day.
As the leaders had stepped down, the packs were without a leader. The people did not know what to do after the referendum, but fortunately, most were still content with the status quo.
Therefore, even though the efficiency of all industries was declining, it had not reached the terrible point of shutting down for the ti being. On the surface, the lives of the people were not even affected.
Without further ado, I imdiately sent out a poll to the people of the two packs: Would you like to combine the Yellow Leaf and Floodwater Packs?
That was right. I didn’t select an Alpha imdiately but let my think tank group temporarily lead all governnt work. Considering giving up the two packs was not a spur-of-the-mont decision.
The Yellow Leaf and Floodwater Pack were very close to each other, so close that it took less than an hour to get there by car. The developnt of infrastructure in the two places was also very biased. The Yellow Leaf Pack was generally better in public services such as dical care and education, while the Floodwater Pack was better in comrce and public entertainnt.
This ‘slight difference’ was only a slight advantage compared to the other party.
As for the population, it was hard to say if there were 30,000 people in total in these two places and if they were to look at it separately.
There were almost no natural resources. Although there were natural forests, they were the territory of the elves. The external transportation was more convenient, but the only neighbor, the elf race, was a fat otaku who had not left even once in a hundred years, directly cutting off the road of foreign trade.
In general, the Yellow Leaf and Floodwater Pack had nothing. The old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled guarded the poor and remote villages. No wonder they were bullied by the wandering forces like soft persimmons.
If he wanted to change all of this, he had first to strengthen his abilities, so combining two packs was the best solution. The customs of the two places were similar, and they had a good relationship. Moreover, they were in a special period of no governnt, so there was no need to worry about any interest groups coming out to give orders. From a certain perspective, it could be considered a blessing in disguise. They had an opportunity to change the poor and weak situation.
However, these were all my considerations. As for what there was to do depended on the local’s decision.
The next morning, I received a call from my father.
“I heard you made a big one at the border?” My father seed a little helpless. “Perhaps you can guess that the Council of Elders is quarreling like crazy now. Even our people don’t agree with what you’re doing this ti. Unless a pack is going extinct during the war, there had never been a rger.”
I didn’t even have to think with my toes to know what those stubborn old n were arguing about. “So what if there’s no precedent? There will be one now. If this is successfully implented, other packs can imitate it, especially those that can’t support themselves anymore.”
“This isn’t that simple. Combining two packs isn’t as simple as moving the boundary stone.”
“I understand. This involves a lot, culture, economy, history, population, etc. That’s why I chose the Yellow Leaf and Floodwater Packs as the road opener for the change, instead of those small places on the mainland with a wide range of implications. The industries here have withered, the population is sparse, and a hundred ruins an that it is still in developnt. The power network is also very easy. After the Alpha stepped down, not one family could step up.
“Can you imagine? During the few days when the governnt was shut down, the people acted as if nothing had happened. They went to work and went to school as usual. It could be seen how weak the actual influence of the governnt on the people had beco. If I had co a few days later, the local people would have solved the crisis themselves. After all, they have lived with an incompetent Alpha for many years.”
“What happens after the rger? Have you thought about what you’re going to do?”
“I want to start with the basic construction. The passage between the two packs will be the foundation to enrich the traffic network, plan new living areas, and call on people to move to the new district to break the problem of regional isolation and unity. After that, focus on the buildings at the original site of the two packs, re-plan the fragnted functional areas, build roads and bridges, and make them green.
“Public facilities such as hospitals and schools are also in urgent need of refurbishnt. We can take this opportunity to rge so public facilities to add new ones and improve efficiency. Of course, all of this is built on the foundation of money. The local gold vault is so idle that it’s like a spider’s web.
“I’ve thought of a few solutions for the ti being. The first is that the central bank will provide low-interest or interest-free loans to this place to solve urgent needs. Then, they would use work as relief, recruiting workers from the people and using the housing area as welfare. This would save human capital and reduce the economic pressure on the people. The last thing is to attract investnt.”
“That’s a good idea. To be honest, I’m a little surprised. But do you think this will solve the root of the problem? If no industry can support the pack’s positive developnt, no matter how new and good the infrastructure is, it is just a shell and useless.”
