Chapter 220 Another Argument
After much deliberation and careful selection, Lu Yuan finally chose a relatively remote plot of land with a relatively small number of insect inhabitants.
After making his selection, he spoke earnestly to Rhine.
"Rhine, when you get rid of the bugs that originally lived here, give them some star coins as compensation."
Lu Yuan also knew that in the Zerg Empire, it was impossible and unrealistic to provide demolition compensation according to the same standards as before his transmigration.
Lu Yuan himself was unwilling to do this, because he felt that the expenses were too great.
Lu Yuan's idea was to compensate the relocated insects with some star coins. These star coins would be enough to help those insects find another place to settle down. He just wanted to make sure that building a house for himself didn't leave other insects homeless. This was Lu Yuan's bottom line.
Lu Yuan simply couldn't bring himself to treat the insects that originally lived there like animals and drive them away without paying them a single penny. He couldn't get past that mental hurdle, nor could he do such a thing.
But this time, Rhine, who always indulged Lu Yuan, did not immediately agree.
Because, in Rhine's view, this matter had a significant impact and incurred considerable expenses.
The number of insects that have to move away because of their house construction is not large, only a few dozen households. The compensation of some star coins is really not a big deal.
The problem is that even if this sets a precedent, similar situations in the future will inevitably have to follow this standard.
According to Rhine's plan, he was going to vigorously develop the area around the Arach defense line; he couldn't let himself continue living in such a poor place.
As the political center chosen by Lu Yuan, and the place where the Rothschild family settled, Golan Star was a key development target.
In the future, it is very likely that all the buildings on Golan will have to be demolished and rebuilt. At that time, there will be a lot of insects that need to be relocated, and the amount of Star Coins to be compensated may also increase exponentially.
This expense is much larger than the small amount of money spent to make Lu Yuan happy before.
Moreover, even if Qian Rhein could afford it, he wouldn't be willing to, because in his view, it was a completely useless investment.
The previous establishment of the scholarship fund, although costing a considerable amount of money, can be considered an early investment in talented individuals.
If even a few of the children he sponsors manage to succeed, Rhine feels he has made a great deal.
But what would he gain by compensating those civilians? Those civilians couldn't bring him any benefit. He, Rhein, was unwilling to do something that would cost a lot of money without any return.
So Rhine explained to Lu Yuan in detail that giving this compensation would set a precedent and trigger a series of subsequent problems, and also told Lu Yuan very seriously that he did not agree to this.
Lu Yuan, who always respects Rhine's wishes and is prone to kneeling, became stubborn this time, insisting that the compensation must be given.
Because, in Lu Yuan's view, this matter was completely different in nature.
In the past, many of the things Lu Yuan wanted to do were acts of kindness he did out of his own goodwill, such as sponsoring children's schooling.
Whether to do this extra thing or not, Lu Yuan felt it was negotiable, and he naturally respected Rhein's opinion more.
But this time it was different. Their family was building a house, which caused inconvenience to other insects, forcing them to move.
In this situation, not giving a single penny in compensation is wrong, and there's no reason to do it this way.
As for Rhineti, once this precedent is set, what will happen when Golan Star develops and large-scale buildings are demolished?
Lu Yuan felt that the compensation would be the same at the time. If the expenses were too high and there wasn't enough money, the area would be dismantled in batches.
Development is indeed important, but that is not a reason to deny the people any compensation.
Lu Yuan and Rhein had a fight about this, but it wasn't a big fight. They just went back and forth, and neither of them could convince the other.
Finally, Rhine angrily turned around and went to the yard, where he sat on a hanging chair and stared blankly at the sea of sunflowers.
At the same time, he cursed Lu Yuan in his heart for being such a blockhead. He thought, "Even if you're kind-hearted, you should still be selective. What's the use of being so nice to those commoners? And you actually argued with him for their sake? Are you kidding me? Are those commoners that important?"
Lu Yuan sat angrily by the window, staring blankly at Rhine on the hanging chair.
He thought to himself, how could Rhine do this? How could they be so indifferent to the basic interests of the people?
The two insects sat there without saying a word, from dawn till dusk.
In the end, Lu Yuan looked at Rhine sitting in the darkness and softened first.
He stood up, went to the dressing room and found a coat belonging to Rhine, then took the coat, walked out of the villa and went to Rhine's side.
Lu Yuan first draped his coat over Rhine's shoulders, then spoke softly.
"It's so late, let's go back inside and eat. It's not worth starving yourself just to get angry with me."
As he spoke, he reached out and took Rhine's hand, intending to pull her down from the hammock.
Rhine didn't really want to argue with Lu Yuan anymore, but he was just too embarrassed to admit it.
He was still a little resentful that Lu Yuan had argued with him over a group of strangers, so he thought he might as well sit in the courtyard a little longer and think of a way to save face.
Now that Lu Yuan has offered the ladder, Rhine will follow suit.
However, before going down the ladder, Rhine couldn't help but glare at Lu Yuan first, and then took Lu Yuan's hand and went back to the house to eat with him.
Lu Yuan didn't care at all about the glare he received.
Men should know how to be tolerant of their wives' emotions.
At the dinner table, Lu Yuan tried to ease the atmosphere by telling Rhein some funny stories.
Rhine didn't hesitate to joke along with Lu Yuan, and the atmosphere between the two insects quickly returned to normal.
However, the two insects inevitably started talking about building a house again.
Because of the previous little commotion, the two insects were more cautious and restrained when they talked about this topic again.
Lu Yuan realized that Rhein was unable to sympathize with the common people in the same way he did.
Rhine also realized that Lu Yuan would never agree to just drive the insects away without giving them anything.
So in the end, both sides compromised, and Rhine agreed to provide compensation, but the amount was only 20,000 Star Coins per household.
Lu Yuan knew that this was the biggest concession Rhine could offer, so he didn't insist any further.
Moreover, 20,000 Star Coins can buy a small house in a remote area on Golan Star.
