Douluo: I Have an Unnamed Law

Chapter 280 Preparation is the Key to Success

It wasn't until Qian Renxue and Gu Qiu'er got tired of playing and were taken away by A Yin that Gu Han finally called the elders and worshippers to a halt.

"Distinguished guests, elders, there is something that we must all prepare for."

Gu Han's expression was serious as he glanced at the assembled Spirit Hall experts.

"Junior brother, just say it, we're listening," Bibi Dong said immediately.

"Golden Crocodile Offering, has there ever been a snowfall as heavy as this year before?"

Gu Han looked at Jin E. Since this was a meeting, he naturally addressed him by his official title. Jin E was the most senior person present and knew the most about the past events on the mainland.

Upon hearing this, the golden crocodile pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "No, I've lived for over a hundred years and have never encountered such heavy snow."

"The elder of the tribunal brought this up; is there some hidden meaning behind it?"

Elder Ghost Leopard was puzzled. There hadn't been many natural disasters on the continent in the past hundred years, and these powerful figures were basically cultivating all day long, so they didn't know anything about these things.

“I am worried that such heavy snow will freeze the crops of the people and there may be a famine next year. If it is not controlled, there may also be a plague, and the scale will certainly be large. If we do not prepare in advance, the consequences may be unimaginable.”

"It's not that serious, is it? It's just that the snow is heavy."

Elder Demon Bear said that it was just a snowfall, and it had happened every year before, but the duration of the snowfall was never as long as this one, but it shouldn't be that serious.

"Elder Demon Bear, this matter is not only about the safety of the people, but also a test for the Spirit Hall, the two great empires, and all the major families and sects."

"Test? What test?"

Gu Han said, "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. If we can take precautions in advance, that would be good, but that is obviously unrealistic. So what we need to do is prepare in advance to accept all the refugees under the jurisdiction of Wuhun City."

Although the Spirit Hall only occupies one city, it has a jurisdiction of over a hundred miles in the other three directions, except for the Star Dou Great Forest in the east, which includes many small towns and villages.

"With the Spirit Hall's financial resources, it's impossible to save the world, but we can't ignore what we can help with. At the same time, we should inform the two great empires about this so that they can make preparations as soon as possible."

Gu Han spoke up, saying that if he were a rogue cultivator, he naturally wouldn't care, nor could he manage these things. But now that he had taken this position, he had to consider the reputation and interests of the Spirit Hall.

Although this is a fantasy world, the level is not high. People are still needed to farm. If you want to conquer the world, you need people, and you need more people.

Only with a larger population can there be more development plans, more labor force, and greater productivity.

Soul Masters won't just obediently farm; since they've chosen to conquer the world, they must establish the reputation they deserve.

They also considered that if the Spirit Hall were to do everything, it would be a thankless task, and they didn't have the financial resources.

Therefore, he limited this scope to the area under the jurisdiction of Wuhun City.

If the two great empires do nothing or just go through the motions, he will take the opportunity to send out a message to attract refugees to the outskirts of Wuhun City.

As for the food issue, Gu Han had already made plans, knowing that the Spirit Hall wouldn't suffer any losses.

At the same time, Gu Han had a premonition that the mainland might be in chaos for a while after this, which would be an opportunity for the Spirit Hall, but it would be a hardship for the common people.

"What, accepting refugees?"

Golden Bell Douluo frowned and said, "Elder Judge, let's not even talk about whether the situation you mentioned will occur. Even if it does, our Spirit City doesn't have the financial resources to accommodate you." Gu Han glanced at Golden Bell Douluo; the other man was quite old, with white beard and eyebrows.

"Elder Jin Zhong need not worry. I have already considered this matter. As I have said, these are refugees within the jurisdiction of the Spirit Hall. If they are refugees from outside the area, we can certainly help them. But if they cannot come, the Spirit Hall cannot transport them all at once."

"If it's only within the jurisdiction, then that's fine."

Golden Bell Douluo nodded. In that case, they wouldn't be wasting their time. Moreover, with the Spirit Hall's financial resources, it would be difficult enough to just save these people, not to mention that the Judgment Elder had also built an army. If they took in more people, they might covet their property.

After all, whenever the Spirit Hall makes a big move, it raises money from these elders and retainers, and then uses the righteous cause to coerce the two great empires and various forces into giving them the money.

But those were only temporary losses for them; their fortunes would double once the matter was over. But this time, it seems to be completely different.

Disaster relief is clearly a business that only spends money and doesn't bring in any income, which is somewhat unacceptable. However, since none of the elders and deities spoke up, and the judges still had the right to make decisions, Golden Bell Douluo didn't dare to argue too much. He just listened to Gu Han talk about the things the Spirit Hall needed to prepare for.

First, the first step is to send people to the villages outside the city to ensure that no one freezes to death.

Repairing houses and providing coal are things the Spirit Hall can still do.

To stabilize the situation amidst the potential chaos to come, we must first resolve the issues on our own doorstep. This will make it much easier to either remain on the sidelines and observe the changes on the mainland, or to proactively offer disaster relief.

"Hmm, Your Holiness, what do you think?" Qian Xunji thought for a moment, then looked at Bibi Dong and asked. Of course, asking Bibi Dong was also a way of showing that he had chosen to support this matter.

Bibi Dong naturally supported Gu Han's decision. After Qian Xunji asked the question, she immediately said, "I support the decision of the Arbitration Elder. We should always take precautions in advance."

"If that's the case, then let's take a case study and vote."

Voting is something that only happens when the Spirit Hall makes important decisions, gathering a group of elders, worshippers, and the Pope to vote.

The Pope has three votes, the elders of judgment have two votes, the Grand Elder has two votes, and the other elders and elders each have one vote.

Seeing that Qian Xunji had agreed, the worshippers naturally followed the old custom and blindly supported Angel Douluo.

Seeing this, the elders dared not cast a dissenting vote.

"Alright, unanimously approved. Elder Judge, go ahead and do it."

Qian Xunji put his hands behind his back, slowly turned around, raised his head slightly, and stared at the statue of the angel god. He thought to himself, "God Ancestor, my disciple is always very accurate in his judgment. If it is really as he said, this continent will probably not be peaceful. I can only hope that God Ancestor will bless us and that fewer people will die."

Thinking of this, Qian Xunji closed her eyes slightly, placed her hands on her chest, and prayed quietly.

"Elder Guibao, Elder Gui, please hurry up. I'd like to ask you two to make this trip and deliver these two letters to Xuexing and Dai Hao respectively."

Gu Han took out pre-prepared envelopes from his soul tool and handed them to the two men.

"it is good."

Ghost Douluo didn't waste any words. He took the envelope and set off for Star Luo City.

Ghost Leopard, on the other hand, headed to Heaven Dou City.
