If he had been given a chance, Chen Zhixian might have been able to build Chuyun Town into Chuyun City. He might even have developed the town into a prosperous city. However, the natural disaster had swept over, and his original ambition had vanished into thin air.
Between ambition and the people, he had chosen the people in the end.
Mao Sui inwardly nodded in response. He had a pretty good impression of Chen Zhixian.
As long as Chuyun Town joined Da Yi, there was no doubt that he would be the lord of the city. As for the gains and losses, it would depend on what he thought of it.
"Paradise? If Minister Mao hadn't come, I'm afraid that in a few days, Chuyun Town would have become a living hell. It's too horrible to look at. "
Chen Zhixian shook his head with a wry smile. He looked at Mao Sui and was secretly shocked. He could feel an unfathomable aura from Mao Sui. His cultivation and combat strength were definitely stronger than his own.
One shouldn't think that a civil official would be weak.
If one underestimated him, one would be slapped in the face at any time.
As the successor of the School of Vertical and Horizontal, Mao Sui cultivated the Art of Vertical and Horizontal, so he was not weak. In a one-on-one fight, no one in Chuyun Town was a match for him.
In fact, not many of the Great Yi's armies were a match for him.
He sighed inwardly. The foundation of the Da Yi Dynasty was really unfathomable. It was amazing. He had no doubt that if he wanted to, the army of ten thousand people in front of him could easily wipe out the entire Chuyun Town.
"There's no need to worry. As a human force, the Da Yi Dynasty will definitely not watch other people starve or freeze to death. His Majesty is even more generous. As soon as he heard that the surrounding human forces were affected by the disaster, he immediately decided to use the food and resources in reserve for disaster relief. His Majesty has mentioned many times in the imperial court that in this Eternal World, the human race is weak and has been slaughtered. We have suffered many disasters and disasters, and he should help us if he can. As humans, we should unite against outsiders. Whether they are the people of Da Yi Dynasty or not, they are all human compatriots and brothers and sisters. If we don't help, who else will? "
Mao Sui said with a smile.
"King Yi is truly benevolent."
Hearing this, Chen Zhixian was also solemn. He cupped his hands and bowed slightly in the direction of Da Yi.
He used to be an official, so he knew very well how much pressure he had to endure in the face of a natural disaster. Not to mention helping outsiders, even within their own forces, who did not desperately collect supplies and food?
It was just like how those landlords in ancient times would still have mountains of grain in their hands during a famine, so much that it was about to go moldy. But even if it was moldy, there were absolutely not many of them who would take it out for disaster relief and give it to the victims.
Not to mention the current Eternal World. No one knew how long the natural disaster would last, and food was their life. If he were in her shoes, he wouldn't take it out easily.
This kind of breadth of mind was worthy of respect from any human race.
"King Yi is merciful!"
"Yes, King Yi is really a savior. How great would it be if I could become a citizen of Da Yi Dynasty? Even if my lifespan is shortened by ten years, I'm willing."
"Why can't our Chuyun Town join Da Yi Dynasty? If we could, wouldn't we be citizens of Da Yi Dynasty as well?"
When the townspeople heard this, they were all excited. How great it would be if they were citizens of Da Yi Dynasty. Once this thought appeared, it was as if it had taken root and could not be uprooted.
In the blink of an eye, it was deeply ingrained.
The more this was so, the more they yearned for it.
Hearing this, Chen Zhixian's expression changed slightly. However, he could only feel bitterness in his heart. People yearned for a good and stable life. That was an instinctive impulse. How could the people's hearts be so easily deceived?
A knowing smile appeared on Mao Sui's face.
This was the result he wanted. It was also the result Da Yi Dynasty wanted to see. The people's hearts were naturally in the hands of those in power. This was a completely overt plot. Even though he knew the mystery behind it, he still had to accept it.
"Emissary, please enter the town. Let's welcome all of you first. "
Chen Zhixian said.
"There's no need. The people are more important. Besides, I've brought supplies not only to Chuyun Town, but also to other towns. I think it's better to distribute the supplies as soon as possible. That way, we can reach the other towns earlier. "
Mao Sui said with a smile.
The supplies could not be handed over to Chen Zhixian directly. Instead, they should be distributed to every human citizen. In this way, the citizens could clearly understand that these supplies were given to them by the Da Yi Dynasty. This was the most direct way to make their existence known to everyone.
"Good. In that case, emissary, please head to the town square."
Chen Zhixian naturally had no reason to object to this request. The situation in the surrounding areas was not as good as Chuyun Town. A day's delay could cause a large number of people to starve to death.
Mao Sui's words were aboveboard, and no one could object.
When they arrived at the square, everything was quickly set up. A large amount of food was quickly released and piled up in the square. It was white and looked very pleasing to the eye.
"Citizens of Chuyun Town, you can come forward to receive the supplies. Each of you can receive a hundred catties of mixed spiritual rice, a piece of warm clothing, and some vegetables and beast meat."
Immediately, other officials and civil servants began to distribute the supplies.
According to the amount of rice an ordinary person needed, a hundred catties of food could last them for two or three months. If they ate sparingly, they could even last for a longer time.
Everyone had the same amount of food.
It would definitely be a huge number if they were distributed.
There was no doubt that it would be enough to support Chuyun Town for a longer time.
"Thank you. King Yi is really a living Bodhisattva."
"We're saved. We're really saved. If there's a chance in the future, we must repay King Yi and the Da Yi Dynasty. "
Every person who received the resources had a sincere expression of gratitude and joy on their faces. And a glimmer of hope for the future. That was the hope that they could survive.
When Chen Zhixian saw all this, he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
Given the current situation, let alone resisting the Great Yi Dynasty, if the Great Yi Dynasty came one day, there would be no need to resist at all. The people here would welcome the Great Yi Dynasty's army with joy.
He had no doubt about this.
The people's hearts were flowing out of his hands and converging on the Da Yi Dynasty. This was the people's hearts. The people's hearts were like water. With the appropriate guidance, they could naturally flow to any region.
However, he could only watch this behavior. He could not stop it. One could imagine how uncomfortable he felt.
He could only watch helplessly as others tried to poach his own corner.
That feeling was really indescribable.
Swoosh!
Just then, a vibrating sound came from Mao Sui's wrist.
Then, he saw that the wristwatch on Mao Sui's wrist was flashing.
"That's the communications wristwatch of the Da Yi Dynasty."
Almost immediately, Chen Zhixian knew what it was. It was a treasure unique to the Great Yi Dynasty. It could be used to communicate with others from thousands of miles away. They could even meet each other. It was really amazing.
It was a pity that this kind of communications wristwatch could only be found in the Da Yi Dynasty. There was no way to buy it anywhere else. Even if one had it, it could not be used. It needed to be connected to the Star Web and leave a unique mark on the wristwatch. One had to become a citizen of the Da Yi Dynasty and have a household registration.
Chen Zhixian had only heard of it before. This was the first time he saw it with his own eyes.
He could not help but show a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
He wasn't the only one who was curious. The surrounding commoners were also curious.
Mao Sui did not seem to have any intention of avoiding them.
The communications wristwatch flashed. Through telepathic control, it was connected to another communications wristwatch.
A voice came from it.
"Minister Mao, just now, Gourd Town expressed its willingness to join the Da Yi Dynasty. The letter of surrender has been sent to the Lord's desk. The Lord has agreed and rewarded them. Gourd Town's Mayor, Lu Wenjun, has contributed greatly by defecting. He has been granted special permission to be promoted to a city. He will still be the city lord of Gourd City, enjoying third-grade providence and various treasures. He will also be given the privilege of choosing a superior cultivation method. The Lord has also said that any human village that is willing to join the Da Yi Dynasty will be welcomed by Da Yi. The Imperial Court will not be stingy with their rewards. "
His voice seemed to contain some sort of magical power that naturally began to spread in all directions.
"Great, this is great. The Lord once said that all humans in the world are compatriots. As long as they are willing to join us, we will be a family. In troubled times, only by being united can one go further. If Gourd Town joins the Da Yi Dynasty, it will be able to use Da Yi's providence to become an immortal city without any obstacles. The Da Yi Dynasty will have another immortal city. "
Mao Sui seemed very happy as he said.
"Gourd Town has actually joined the Da Yi Dynasty and received so many rewards. Not only can it continue to control Gourd City, but it can also become a city lord. It will also receive many rewards. "
Chen Zhixian could not help but inwardly gasp when he heard this.
There was actually someone who was so decisive to join the Da Yi Dynasty so soon.
But without a doubt, he knew very well that doing this would definitely cause Da Yi to have an extremely good impression of him, and the benefits he obtained would be the greatest. Without a doubt. The one who would benefit the most would always be the first to eat crabs.
There was no doubt that Gourd Town had taken advantage of the situation.
It was the same principle as buying a horse's bones with a thousand gold pieces.
"If I was the first to surrender, would I be able to obtain more benefits?"
A thought flashed through Chen Zhixian's mind.
