Along a few small streets, Li Hailong and the others followed Chen Dongbiao around the small town of less than 200 families. Except for a few families who had run away last year and had not returned, the entire small town, whether rich or poor, had been visited by this lively scene!

Naturally, everyone was happy. He had not been forgotten by the villagers! He was a member of this city. The residents here naturally did not understand such a show, but the people who had transmigrated understood!

Therefore, they did not let any of them off. Among them, there were more than ten families who had their houses damaged during the war because they were too close to the earthen wall. After they returned, they did not have the money to repair it for a while. Now, the families who had only used straw mats to surround the broken wall were not pulled down. They also sent gifts to their homes! This made these people so moved that they cried bitterly!

Even Chen Dongbiao's eyes turned red from this touching scene. When he heard that Boss Huang and the others were going to repair the houses for these families, these families knelt down even more! He kept calling her benefactor!

The city residents who were watching the fun at the side were also shouting out loud! They were really touched by this group of people. In their hearts, they had already acknowledged this group of strangers who had suddenly appeared in front of them. They were even willing to let them stay here forever.

These people had already secretly opened the gifts and looked at them. Indeed, as these people said, they had never seen these things before! Moreover, these people even said that they would help everyone get rich in the future! Who else would support such a person if not him? Only with such a person protecting him would he have hope in his life!

All of a sudden, more and more people in the small city were already thinking of ways to curry favor with these people. Now that they saw that Chen Dongbiao had a particularly good relationship with these people, those people couldn't curry favor with him now, so they first came to curry favor with Chen Dongbiao. At that time, everyone called him Brother Chen, so Chen Dongbiao didn't even have the chance to reply!

Chen Dongbiao himself did not expect that his popularity would be so high today! Of course, he also understood that he had been blessed by these cultivators. Since everyone was determined to follow these outsiders, why didn't he take this opportunity to get the moon first?! In his astute eyes, he had long seen that the two merchants were just putting on a show. The ones who were paying attention were still the cultivators!

Just like that, everyone was happy with the gift. The transmigrators had achieved their goal! I didn't expect to win the hearts of the people here so quickly. It will be much more convenient to do things in the future.

! The residents had also let go of their psychological burden. Now that they saw these people who were still moving things, they were extremely enthusiastic and called them masters! This made the fishermen smile on the surface but feel bitter on the inside! He had a wife and children at home. When had he been sent to the temple to cultivate? But he didn't know! Therefore, he still had to put on a few tricks! It made everyone laugh until their stomachs hurt when there was no one around!

However, these residents did not care about this and were still enthusiastic! Some of them even boiled water and added tea leaves that they were usually reluctant to use to entertain them. These fishermen were really touched. Although they did not want to drink the tea that they were not used to, such enthusiasm was what they hoped to receive when they first stepped into this place!

After leaving the city, Chen Dongbiao didn't want to stop just like that. He wanted to see if there was anything he could help with. He had only walked a few steps out of the west gate when he heard Li Hailong ask,

"Then what are the families at the foot of the mountain across the river doing?”

Chen Dongbiao looked in the direction Li Hailong was pointing at and realized that it was referring to the shabby straw shed on the other side. He immediately rushed to say,

"Master! Some of them were local fishermen, some were porters on the wharf, and some were foreigners. After moving here, they built houses there. The original landlord of that place was killed by the barbarians two years ago, and there were no relatives to take care of the funeral. Therefore, it could be said that it was ownerless now. As those people lived there for a long time, more and more people lived there. No one cared about this place anymore! It's like this now."

When Li Hailong heard this, he thought, Isn't this a shanty town? In the future, it will also be a place that will be under management. Why not take advantage of the current situation to go over and interact with them?

Li Hailong looked for Captain Wang and the others. After a discussion, they all thought that those people were the people they had to rely on in the future! He could not give up on them! Now that Daodou City was bustling with activity, these people must have noticed it, so they had to strike while the iron was hot! Therefore, they unanimously agreed that the name would be Project Giving Love!

Of course, he should give them something practical. He might not even like some fancy or small gifts! Therefore, everyone hurriedly got busy again. They prepared to give each family a small package of 10 catties of rice, 1 catties of white flour, 10 ham sausages, half a catty of salt, and half a catty of sugar. Someone had originally suggested that they should split the oil, but unfortunately, they did not bring much, so they could only give up!

However, this reminded the fishermen that there was no such thing as a fishing ban in this world. He was in a hurry to go back and fish! Then, when someone asked who they were going to buy so many fish for, everyone finally settled down. It was true that they might have caught more fish than the total number of fish here! Then, everyone would go out together. He wouldn't be able to finish the extra food. This wasn't an easy business!

In the end, he had to bring two more bags of pickled vegetables for each family! Then, when they met Captain Wang, they were filled with sympathy. When they saw the tens of thousands of silver coins that Uncle Gen brought, they insisted on splitting two silver coins with each family!

In the end, everyone could only agree to it. Some people even teased and laughed, saying that no one would feel heartache if they gave away money that was not their own! However, everyone had a request later on. That was, when the money was distributed, they had to split it personally. They were not afraid that the people below would eat it up, but they wanted to get familiar with each other!

When Chen Dongbiao saw that these people still wanted to give gifts to him, he quickly called a few of his close friends to help! But when he got on the boat, he wasn't here to help-his eyes weren't good enough, so he just wanted to take advantage of the novelty!

The few people he had called over to help had similar reactions. Li Hailong knew the reason when he saw this. He did not make things difficult for them. He still used their advantages and let them organize the shanty town first. They divided the land and the number of households, and then appointed a small leader to manage it. They did not want to make it look like a big show in the city.

When Chen Dongbiao heard this, he knew that his group of people could not help much on the ship now! He didn't know anything. They were all using machines, so how could he interfere? It was not enough to just look!

Now that he had received a new mission, he happily pulled a few helpers and immediately prepared to go ashore to inform the organization…

However, when he heard that they still had to register and record first, he was a little dumbfounded. Thinking about it, it made sense. In such a noisy place, there might be more people taking more. It was not a problem for his group to help out, but no one would take a pen!

Seeing that Chen Dongbiao was in a difficult position, Li Hailong understood the situation and randomly assigned a few experienced people to go over and record the work. Only then did Chen Dongbiao and the others know that these masters were all knowledgeable!

In the old society, people respected those who had knowledge the most. Now that they saw these people working by themselves without any arrogance, they were even more excited. Now that they could work with these people, it seemed that their social status had increased a lot!

What surprised him was that these masters even gave him and the people he brought 10 silver coins each, which was called overtime pay! This made Chen Dongbiao and his friends even more enthusiastic! Moreover, he was still regretting not calling more people over. However, he had to complete his mission first. He could not lose face!

With the help of Chen Dongbiao and his group, coupled with the lively scene in front of them, when the residents of this shanty town learned that they were going to share the gifts, everyone's enthusiasm was aroused! Soon, acquaintances pulled acquaintances, and friends pulled friends, afraid that they would be left behind. When the organization was organized, everyone was very cooperative, afraid that their family would be forgotten by others! The basic information about the number of people in each family, when and where they came from…was also quickly completed.

However, there were also some situations inside. After being frightened last night, they had run away and hid in dozens of houses before dawn. They had not returned yet!

However, this way, Chen Dongbiao and the others naturally wouldn't refuse to register anyone they saw. However, the relatives and friends of those who ran away weren't willing to do so. Their houses were still here, and they had stayed here last night! How could they not be considered residents living here? Who knows if they would be back by now? Now, they were really going to divide the things! They could not miss out on their share! Thus, both sides had their reasons, and neither side could convince the other. In the end, the problem was pushed to the top.

After Li Hailong and the others figured out the situation, they decided to let these people come and collect it themselves if they returned! If you have relatives or friends, you can send someone to call them back! Such a decision made these relatives and friends feel that it was more fair! It also allowed these people to settle down and wholeheartedly support the registration work.

Then, he asked everyone to recommend a group leader for every ten households. The eight groups nearby also recommended a village chief. Then, on this basis, they formed a comprehensive management group. These village chiefs were temporarily responsible for the local life management work. If there were any problems, report them to the Self-Defense Forces. The reason was that everyone had to divide the things later and not mess up the order. This work was quickly carried out seriously.

Because everyone hoped that the person who distributed the items would be fair, they all recommended the people they thought were fair and impartial. Of course, there were also a few places that recommended more people. Then, everyone thought that they were the most fair and just. Other than a little trouble, everything else went smoothly! As a result, these people did not expect to lay a good foundation for the future transformation of this shanty town. Through this round of preparatory work, the slums immediately became orderly.
