"As long as I, Mao Sui, can be of any use. I, Mao Sui, will do anything."
Hearing this, Mao Sui revealed a smile.
For Mao Sui, the skills he learned were meant to be used against the outside world. He wanted to create value and benefits for Da Yi. He wanted to achieve his ultimate goal without shedding a single drop of blood. This was the most fundamental thing. Right now, he was the minister of the Board of Rites and had the responsibility of welcoming guests.
If he could help Da Yi expand their territory again, it would be a heavenly merit.
"Food and resources cannot be directly sold to those human forces. However, we can give them to them for free. However, the giver must be our Da Yi. Moreover, the resources cannot be handed over to other human forces. Instead, it must be done by me, Da Yi. We have an excuse to enter other human forces. This time of disaster is the best time to buy people's hearts. "
Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The reason why the Yellow Turban Army was able to sweep through the world in such a short period of time and almost shake the foundation of the Great Han Dynasty was because the common people of the world had no way to make a living. They were living in an abyss of suffering. There was almost no place to stand or food to eat. In their despair, it was the virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao who gave them a belief, a hope, and a spiritual sustenance. Because of this, they were naturally unstoppable and destroyed the world. "
Who would be willing to rebel during peaceful times? Only when they could no longer live would they find a glimmer of hope and desperately hold on to it, afraid that it would disappear before their eyes.
For a glimmer of hope, they would not hesitate to pay with their lives.
But now, under the natural disasters, the living conditions of countless common people in the human forces were undoubtedly more terrifying and severe than during the end of the Han Dynasty. They could die at any time.
Under these circumstances, if they could give the common people hope to live on, or even a better life and future, there was no need to think about it. Countless common people would crazily do everything for it.
Under these circumstances, no matter how high the prestige and strength of the original human forces were in their own territories, it was of no use. It could not stop people's hearts from surging.
Subduing a large number of human forces without bloodshed was definitely a great thing that killed two birds with one stone.
Of course, to operate well, they had to send competent people. There was no doubt that Mao Sui was the best candidate.
If he could achieve this, not only would he be able to quickly harvest a large number of human beings, but he would also be able to gain a corresponding territory. These forces all had Village Building Orders, so they only needed to modify the original towns to quickly build an Immortal City. They completed the expansion even faster.
"Now is the best time to expand. Every part of the world was suffering from natural disasters. They did not have the strength to expand outwards. In fact, they were heavily injured or even killed in the disasters. There was nothing they could do to stop the expansion of Da Yi. Even though they knew that Da Yi was expanding and occupying more and more territories, there was nothing they could do. He could only watch helplessly. It couldn't be any easier. It was a heaven-sent opportunity. If he missed this opportunity, it would be almost impossible to find another one. The only thing we need to do is to turn this opportunity into the foundation for Da Yi to soar. "
Jia Xu said flatly.
Obviously, he and Zhuge Liang had their eyes on this opportunity. It was a huge leap forward.
While the other tribes were suffering natural disasters, Da Yi could expand rapidly. The problem was that the other tribes could not stop them and carry out targeted destruction. They still needed Da Yi's food. Moreover, they had suffered heavy losses in the natural disasters. They could not stop Da Yi.
With such a heaven-sent opportunity right in front of them, it would be unforgivable if they did not seize it.
"Very well. So what if it's a natural disaster? The heavens are always strong, and a gentleman should never stop improving himself. Man will triumph over the heavens. In the face of natural disasters, other forces must lie low and tremble in fear. But we, the Dayi, insist on going against the natural disasters. Whether the Dayi can soar or not depends on you, my beloved ministers. "
Yi Tianxing nodded.
The purpose of the court meeting was naturally not to discuss the trade with the Outsiders. It was to start planning for Da Yi's future.
So what if it was a natural disaster? It was also a great opportunity. However, others could not take advantage of it, but Da Yi could. This was a difference. A difference was a difference.
"Your Majesty, there is a human force outside of Da Yi. The mayor of Gourd Town, Lu Wenjun, came to find me at the trade fair. He wants to ask Your Majesty to let Gourd Town join Da Yi and become a part of Da Yi. The whole of Gourd Town will respect Da Yi and Your Majesty. We are willing to surrender. "
At this time, He Shen mentioned another matter.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall had a look of surprise in their eyes, and joy appeared on their faces. They had just decided on the direction of their goal, and now they received such great news. This was a rare auspicious sign.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen."
A smile also appeared on Yi Tianxing's face.
The fact that the Human Tribe was able to directly surrender to them meant that the Great Yi Dynasty's reputation had become quite strong. They didn't need to use their weapons to easily harvest a force and gain a piece of territory. No matter what, it was a happy thing.
"Good. Minister He, where is Lu Wenjun now?"
Yi Tianxing looked at He Shen and asked.
"Lu Wenjun is now in Xuanhuang Castle. If Your Majesty is willing, you can see him at any time," He Shen said with a smile. He was overjoyed. Previously, when he received the news, he had subconsciously brought Lu Wenjun over to give him a surprise.
"Good. Summon Lu Wenjun to Your Majesty. I will not mistreat him since he has voluntarily surrendered. "
Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, someone went to greet him.
Before long, Lu Wenjun arrived at Skyward Palace.
Lu Wenjun was a middle-aged man in a green robe. His face showed the vicissitudes of life. Obviously, he had rich experience. It was the accumulation of experience over the years. However, his body was covered in frost and fatigue. It was easy to tell what he had been through in the past few days.
The most unique thing was that Lu Wenjun had a greenish-yellow gourd hanging at his waist.
Speaking of gourds, the origin of Gourd Town had to be mentioned.
Gourd Town was founded by Lu Wenjun, but the origin of its name was the gourd. That was because a large number of gourd vines grew where the village was built. Gourds grew out of those vines, and each of them was of excellent quality. They even contained a trace of Spiritual Qi. The most unique thing was that there was a certain chance that these gourds would mutate. Ordinary gourds would directly give birth to Spirit Gourds. Such gourds could be used to refine Dharma Artifacts.
Gourds had always been said to be big enough to hold things. When refined into Dharma Artifacts, they could store a large number of items and open up a large storage space. They could even be refined into special Dharma Artifacts that were extremely powerful.
Gourd Town had relied on these gourds to finally gain a foothold and trade with other forces. In a short period of time, it had transformed into a town. Naturally, these gourds had contributed a lot. Gourd Town was also proud of its gourds. The name of Gourd Town was deeply rooted in people's hearts. .
The gourd hanging at Lu Wenjun's waist was a Spirit Gourd.
Unfortunately, no matter how many gourds there were, they could not be turned into food. Gourd Town was running out of food. If the situation continued, it would not be long before people starved to death. Left with no other choice, after hearing about the Da Yi Dynasty, he thought it over and over again and finally decided to surrender. At the very least, Da Yi's behavior was well known among the common people of the human race. They had not done anything to bully the human forces.
They had a good reputation, so they naturally chose to come.
"Lu Wenjun of Gourd Town pays his respects to King Yi."
Lu Wenjun's heart trembled as he looked at the ceiling of the great hall. He could vaguely feel a piercing pain in his eyes, causing him to subconsciously avert his eyes. Throughout his journey in the Great Yi Empire, he had been shocked countless times. Whether it was in terms of strength or heritage. Everything was beyond his imagination.
Especially during the natural disaster, the Da Yi Dynasty did not seem to be experiencing a natural disaster at all.
It was incredible that the Da Yi Dynasty could still maintain its prosperity.
"There's no need to be so polite, Mayor Lu."
Yi Tianxing smiled. "It is a good thing for you to come to Da Yi Dynasty, Mayor Lu. The Da Yi Dynasty has never rejected any human force. As long as you join, Gourd Town will still be under your control. However, the rule of a ten-year rotation still exists. Moreover, after you join, Gourd Town will transform into Gourd City. You will be the governor. You will enjoy the three qualities of the Da Yi Dynasty. You will be blessed with fortune. "
He did not beat around the bush in the beginning. This was a dynasty, not a secular one. Instead of scheming, it was better to be straightforward.
Thank you, Your Majesty! "
Lu Wenjun's heart skipped a beat and he could not help but feel a trace of joy.
The transformation from Gourd Town to Gourd City was undoubtedly an earth-shattering transformation, and the benefits were immeasurable. He had seen Da Yi's immortal city with his own eyes. Naturally, he knew that the two were incomparable.
"However, the fact that Gourd Town has joined the Da Yi Dynasty cannot be announced to the public for the time being."
Yi Tianxing said again.
"Wh … Why?"
Hearing this, Lu Wenjun revealed a trace of surprise and quickly asked.
"As the saying goes, throw a brick to attract jade, and your Gourd Town will be the catalyst. Only by announcing it at the right time will it have the greatest effect. At that time, you will have made a great contribution to Gourd Town. "
Yi Tianxing said calmly.
Even the fragrance of wine was afraid of the depth of the alley. Some things could only be triggered by a clear example.
Subsequently, after a simple explanation of the mysteries, Lu Wenjun's face lit up. Needless to say, the shock in his heart was obvious. He was secretly shocked by the Great Yi's arrangements. At the same time, he was even more glad that he was the first to submit to the Great Yi.
