Even Chen Zhixian was tempted at this moment. He even felt a trace of regret. He thought to himself that if he had been the first one to join the Da Yi Dynasty and brought the entire Cloud Town to join Da Yi, would he have been rewarded with the same amount of money, or even more? Moreover, no matter when, people would always remember the first one. How many people would remember the second one?
The significance of that would be completely different. He could even be noticed by the leaders of Da Yi from the very beginning. He could even be noticed by King Yi.
"Sigh, I can't believe we let Lu Wenjun be one step ahead of us. That's right, his decisiveness has always been one of the best among us. In the face of the natural disaster, he chose to join the Great Exchange. It's something that we have no choice but to do. Even if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid he has no other choice. "
Chen Zhixian looked at the yearning and expectant faces of the people in the town and smiled bitterly in his heart.
It could be seen that the hearts of the people were no longer with him, but with the Great Yi Dynasty. In troubled times, especially in the face of natural disasters, whoever could ensure the survival of the people would be able to win the hearts of the people.
This was an overt plot, a real overt plot.
The trend of the times was irresistible.
"Your Excellency, may I ask if Gourd Town has really joined Da Yi Dynasty? Will Da Yi Dynasty really accept the human forces? This is the year of the natural disaster. "
Chen Zhixian asked Mao Sui.
"Of course it's true. My king once said that as humans, we are like brothers and sisters. One's loss is shared, and one's glory is shared. The doors of the Great Yi Dynasty are open to all human beings and human forces. As long as they are willing to join the Great Yi Dynasty, we will gladly accept them. However, after joining Da Yi Dynasty, they will also have to accept the laws and rules of Da Yi Dynasty. Moreover, unless there is a serious mistake, the original head of a village or a town will be promoted to the position of a third-grade castellan. In the first ten years, the castellan can stay in his original town, and in the second ten years, the castellan will be rotated. "
When Mao Sui heard Chen Zhixian's words, he immediately smiled in his heart. He knew that the effect of throwing a brick to attract jade had already appeared.
People tended to follow blindly. Once someone took the lead and joined Da Yi, the rest of the human factions would naturally follow suit as long as they had the will to do so. After all, the people's hearts were no longer with them. Joining Da Yi was undoubtedly the only way to ensure their own interests, unless they moved their cities and towns away from the Da Yi Dynasty. But the problem was that the entire Everlasting World was in the midst of a natural disaster. No matter where they moved, they would not be able to avoid it. Without Da Yi's support, it was a question of whether they could survive.
Therefore, they didn't have many choices left.
Now that he heard Mao Sui's final confirmation, he already had a plan in mind.
"Perhaps, joining Da Yi might not be a bad choice. It's said that the Ten Thousand Beasts Royal Court has been established on the Ten Thousand Beasts Plain. If we don't unite now, we might face destruction in the future. "
A thought flashed across Chen Zhixian's mind.
Natural disasters were extremely difficult for any race to endure. Under the premise that there was no food, they would most likely attack human villages and towns. In the eyes of the Outsiders, the human race was also their food.
This was not a possibility, but a certainty.
If he were to join Dayi, this problem would be solved without a doubt. There was no need to worry.
However, he did not make a decision immediately. There were some things that needed to be discussed with the other people in the town.
Such scenes could be seen everywhere in the surrounding regions of the Great Yi Dynasty. The news was not only passed to Mao Sui, but also to the other emissaries. It was also deliberately arranged to be directly presented to everyone. The news spread uncontrollably.
Unknowingly, many of the human factions had begun to waver.
"It's done."
A thought flashed across Mao Sui's mind when he saw this. The School of Vertical and Horizontal was the best at reading people's expressions. From Chen Zhixian's expression, he could already guess the changes in his thoughts. If there were no accidents, Cloud Town would soon become another territory of Da Yi Dynasty.
The news of Gourd Town joining Da Yi Dynasty was released at this moment to give them another bargaining chip.
.....
Three days later.
In the immortal cities of the Da Yi Dynasty. The atmosphere, which was originally a little gloomy because of the snow disaster, suddenly became fiery.
"Haha, did you hear? In the past few days, dozens of cities and towns have submitted letters of surrender to the Da Yi Dynasty. They have joined the Da Yi Dynasty and become a part of Da Yi Dynasty. His Majesty has personally promoted these cities and towns to immortal cities. "
"Yes, that's great. Joining the Da Yi Dynasty, the people in those cities and towns will finally have a good life. With our Da Yi Dynasty, their lives will only get better and better. When that time comes, they will truly live their lives and enjoy the dignity that belongs to us humans. "
"Yes, I used to be a commoner in a village. After hearing about Da Yi Dynasty, I traveled with them and experienced many hardships to reach Da Yi Dynasty. That's how I got to enjoy the good life I have today. Only now do I truly feel like I am a human. Only then can I live with dignity. "
Countless commoners spoke with deep emotions.
In the past few days, because of the messengers sent out by the Great Yi Dynasty and the gifts, the hearts of the people in the human villages and towns were boiling. Everyone's heart was on the Great Yi Dynasty's side. Even if the leaders of those forces were unwilling, they couldn't stop the boiling will of the people. Coupled with the threat of the natural disaster and Gourd Town's offer, the various benefits tempted those in power. Therefore, one after another, cities and towns submitted letters of surrender to Da Yi Dynasty, willing to follow Da Yi Dynasty. To become a part of Da Yi Dynasty.
Naturally, the Great Yi Dynasty accepted them without hesitation and did not reject any of them. They gladly accepted them.
This was the result that Da Yi Dynasty wanted to see the most. Now that it was time to reap the rewards, there was no reason to refuse.
In just three days, they had received dozens of cities and towns that had come to pledge their allegiance.
These cities and towns were also valued. Not only were the orders issued. At the same time, a large number of craftsmen from the Heavenly Craft Pavilion had gone to the various cities and towns.
"Let's go. We have nothing else to do with the snow disaster anyway. This time, the cities and towns have to be upgraded to immortal cities, and they have to be built with Mysterious Yellow Bricks. There are huge projects everywhere, and we lack manpower. The imperial court will hire them for ten Eternal Coins a day. That's a lot of money."
"Yes, there's no way to go out and hunt in the cities. The ferocious beasts are all hidden, so it's better to help build immortal cities. Not only can you earn money, but you can also contribute to Dayi. Let's go together. "
"That's right. It's said that once these cities and towns are completed and built into immortal cities, the Imperial Astronomer's Angels will immediately drive the immortal cities away and place them in their predetermined positions. This is a new frontier for Da Yi Dynasty. "
Countless Da Yi citizens had sincere pride on their faces.
Yes, in their eyes, this was a new frontier. In fact, this was a fact.
The other races could only tremble in fear and despair in the face of natural disasters. However, the Great Yi defied this rule. Despite the natural disasters, they continued to expand without hesitation. This was an unbelievable and heaven-defying act.
The general trend was like a tide, going against the current.
Large numbers of citizens joined the army of construction.
Mountains of Mysterious Yellow Bricks were quickly transported to the cities and towns. Hundreds of thousands of citizens built each city at the same time. Under the direction of the Heavenly Construct Pavilion, the construction was completed quickly.
The speed at which it was being built was truly inhuman.
The city walls, foundations, and even the houses in the cities would undergo fundamental changes every few minutes to an hour. Those who came to help were all cultivators with great strength and sturdy bodies. The efficiency was obvious.
With all their might, and with the foundation that these towns already had, they were able to quickly build up the city walls.
Expanding into an Immortal City would take at most two to three days to complete.
That scene was truly like a dream. In a trance, immortal cities had already risen from the ground like bamboo shoots after the rain. When Da Yi was fully mobilized, his explosive power could create incredible miracles.
"Your Majesty, the fifty-six cities have submitted their petitions. With our full efforts, we can complete the expansion in three days and become Immortal Cities. Moreover, with the passage of time, it won't be long before there are a hundred or even a thousand Immortal Cities. It's more than enough to double Da Yi's territory. "
Huang Chengyan appeared in the palace and sat with Yi Tianxing in the imperial garden. Admiring flowers and tasting tea. They were also playing the right tune.
"Although the natural disaster is terrifying, it may be a great opportunity for me, Da Yi, to rise. Restricted by the natural disaster, the Mutated Tribes can't find the time to control Da Yi's actions. We naturally can't miss such an opportunity. However, this expansion must be carried out with a plan. The expansion cannot be unlimited. The key lies in the people. We must have enough people to make the expansion worthy of the name. "
The foundation of everything was the population.
This was also why Yi Tianxing agreed to the Mutated Tribes' offer to trade human citizens for food and resources without hesitation.
A normal Immortal City could accommodate a million people.
Of course, it could be more or less, but it had to be at least four to five hundred thousand. Only then would the Immortal City have enough power to suppress the surrounding wilderness.
Now, that included the population of the surrendered human cities and the people taken from the Mutated Tribes.
The entire population of Da Yi had reached more than three hundred million.
