This amount of resources was definitely quite shocking. This was not a batch, but directly delivered to every single person, every single commoner. If added together, it would not be a small number. One had to know that a catty of mixed spiritual rice, even if an ordinary person ate it to their heart's content, they would be able to last for a day. No matter how big their appetite was, fifty catties of mixed spiritual rice could last them for more than a month. If they ate it sparingly and boiled it into porridge, not to mention a month, they could even last two to three months.
There were also five catties of fierce beast meat, which could strengthen the body. Eating it would undoubtedly be a great supplement. This kind of fierce beast meat was very precious, and usually only the middle and upper echelons of the village could eat it.
There was also the piece of cloth. This piece of cloth was definitely not small, and it should be able to be cut into a decent new piece of clothing.
Food, clothing, and transportation were inseparable.
This took up clothing and food.
Such a large amount of resources, if it was the Poplar Village itself, it would be able to sweep the Poplar Village's inventory clean. It might not even be able to satisfy them. This was such a shocking amount of resources. Especially in this chaotic world, it was even more so.
Currently, only the Xuanhuang Town had the ability to grow all kinds of rice on a large scale. Even after the other villages stabilized, they could only plant a small portion, and they still needed to be guarded at all times to prevent it from being destroyed. They could only plant a small amount, and it was not even enough for themselves, so it was impossible to satisfy everyone. This still needed to be planted in the village.
Once planted outside, there was a hundred percent chance that it would be destroyed before it could be harvested.
Only the Xuanhuang Town could produce a large amount of food in an endless stream.
This kind of benefit that fell from the sky made Bai Hai and Bai Lang's faces filled with joy and shock.
"Village Chief Bai Yang of the Poplar Village thanks Town Chief Yi for his benevolence. The entire Poplar Village will naturally remember this kind deed. Open the city gates, and let all the citizens receive their portion of resources. " At this moment, they only saw a middle-aged man in a white robe walking up the city wall. This man had a jade-like complexion, and he gave off a scholarly aura. There was a majestic aura around him.
This aura was naturally cultivated after holding power for a long time.
Majesty had to be cultivated, and it could not be faked.
Only by wielding great power and being in charge of a region of land and water could one cultivate a bearing.
"So it's Daoist White Sun."
Wu Yong smiled and nodded.
After some small talk, there was no other action. The city gate was opened.
One by one, the villagers of Aspen Village walked out of the city gate, their faces filled with hope and anticipation.
It could be seen that the faces of these commoners were pale. Although they were not sallow and emaciated, it could be seen that they did not have many chances to eat their fill.
"Come, come, come. Come here to register and collect your supplies."
Immediately, people began to greet them. They were people from the Myriad Treasure Hall who had followed them here. Dispatching supplies.
He used the Interspatial Bag and the Storage Bag to store them. Although each spatial bag didn't have a lot of space, there were a lot of them. In the past, when Yi Tianxing participated in the Number One Martial Dao Tournament, he had obtained hundreds of storage bags and multi-dimensional bags.
In total, the amount of resources that could be carried at one time could be said to be quite shocking.
Someone took out a bag of holding and opened it. A large amount of resources appeared before their eyes.
Bags of mixed spirit rice and a large batch of fresh fierce beast meat. There were also batches of cloth.
The first commoner quickly stepped forward.
"My name is Liu Sangou. Can I really get food and cloth here?" A man stepped forward nervously and asked.
"Okay, register here, and then you can get the supplies," Wu Yong said with a smile.
"Okay."
Liu Sangou quickly nodded and agreed.
Then, according to the procedure, after registering, a set of supplies was immediately sent to his hands without any accident. A small bag of mixed spirit rice, a piece of fresh fierce beast meat, and a piece of cloth that was enough to be cut into a piece of clothing. When he received these supplies, he still felt like he was dreaming.
It felt a little unreal.
However, his hand holding the rice was steady, and he didn't want to let go at all.
This was something that people who had never been hungry would never understand.
"We can really get supplies. There's food and fierce beast meat. The chief of Xuanhuang Town is really kind. "
"Yeah, I've long heard that within a radius of ten thousand miles, Xuanhuang Town is the best place for humans to gather. I don't know how many people yearn for it. It is said that everyone in the town can cultivate. There is also a Scripture Pavilion in the town, and anyone can go in to choose cultivation methods and combat skills. I don't know how many people are envious to death to become a cultivator. "
"Great, my clothes should have been changed a long time ago. It's almost tattered, but now, let alone clothes, I can't even make cloth. This time, I can make a new set of clothes. Even if I die, it can be considered dignified. "
"Xuanhuang Town is really kind. If we can also join Xuanhuang Town, it would be great. That way, we can all become cultivators. Everyone is strong, and we can also go out and fight with those fierce beasts. We don't have to be like now, and we can only watch helplessly. "
One by one, the commoners continued to receive supplies according to the procedure.
When they received the supplies, there was a look of joy on their faces.
At this moment, on the city wall, Bai Yang and the others had disappeared. They had returned to the village chief's mansion.
This was also the mansion of the Bai family. It was called the Bai Mansion.
In the Bai Mansion, in the council hall.
Bai Yang sat upright in the main seat. Below him were Bai Hai, Bai Lang, and a petite but good-looking girl.
At this moment, in the hall, the atmosphere was obviously a little solemn.
"Second Brother, Lang 'er, you have miscalculated this time. When the Xuanhuang Town proposed to give us supplies, you should have accepted it, or even tried to get the supplies in your hands first. In any case, you can't let them personally distribute the supplies. This way, I'm afraid the people of our Baiyang Village will be scattered, and this team will not be easy to lead in the future. "
Bai Yang said with a solemn expression.
"When I heard that the Xuanhuang Town was willing to give such a large amount of supplies, I didn't think so much. I just thought that I could get a large amount of supplies. My brain was in a daze, and it was too late to change my mind." Bai Hai said bitterly.
"Father, isn't it good to get such a large amount of supplies?"
Bai Xiaoyu said with a hint of surprise.
"It's naturally a good thing to have a large number of supplies fall into our hands. It's also a good thing for the entire Baiyang Village. It can greatly alleviate the various needs of the village, and we don't even need to be responsible for their food for a month. In a month's time, our village will also be able to accumulate some resources and complete more buildings. We can become stronger. But the people of our Baiyang Village have lost more than half of their hearts. "
Bai Yang said with a bitter smile.
There was a fundamental difference in who distributed the supplies. If it was given to the Baiyang Village, it would fall into the hands of Bai Yang, and the Bai family would distribute it. There was no doubt that most of the reputation would fall on the Bai family. But now, it was directly distributed by the Xuanhuang Town. This reputation, and even the hearts of the people, would fall on the Xuanhuang Town. If the people's hearts were scattered, this team would naturally not be easy to lead.
Everyone's heart was on the Xuanhuang Town, so what about the Baiyang Village?
To put it bluntly, this was buying the hearts of the people.
Especially in troubled times, nothing could buy the hearts of the people better than food. In particular, the hearts of the people were already extremely impetuous. A little wave could cause a storm. If the hearts of the people turned against them, it would be difficult for a force to maintain.
"Then can't we stop it?"
Bai Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and said.
"We can't stop it. The distribution of supplies has been publicized to the entire Baiyang Village by the Xuanhuang Town. Everyone heard it clearly. It's okay to let them get the supplies now. If we stop them directly, it's tantamount to robbing food from the hands of the villagers. Without a doubt, this will make the people in the village hostile to our Bai family. If they are not satisfied, it will erupt in the future, and it will cause a big mess. "
Bai Yang shook his head and said.
In fact, if possible, he would never let the Xuanhuang Town directly distribute supplies to the villagers. This was simply giving up their foundation to others. He could only watch the other party waving the hoe and digging the corner of the wall. He couldn't stop it.
There was a record in ancient unofficial history.
That was during the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Shen Wansan, the richest man in the world, were best friends.
In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang had summoned Shen Wansan and ordered him to offer a thousand ingots of platinum and a hundred kilograms of gold to build the outer city of Nanjing. At that time, the treasury was short of money. Relying on his wealth, Shen Wansan expressed his willingness to build the city with the imperial court. After the project started at the same time, Shen Wansan ended the construction of the first emperor, which made Emperor Zhu unhappy. Shen Wansan was not tactful and applied to reward each soldier of the whole army with one tael of silver, a total of nearly one million taels of silver.
In the end, it led to the destruction of his family.
Why?
It was very simple. Shen Wansan had crossed the line.
Building the city wall was the imperial court's business. Rewarding the army was the emperor's way of showing kindness. It was the right of the emperor. A businessman dared to do such a thing as private rewards. What was he trying to do? Did he regard the army as his family's?
Only the emperor was qualified to buy people's hearts.
What did a businessman want to do by buying people's hearts? Was it a rebellion?
Under such circumstances, if Shen Wansan did not die, who would?
Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, any emperor would not be indifferent. This was a challenge to the emperor's authority. If he did not die, the whole world would be in chaos on the spot.
Now, what the Xuanhuang Town was doing was the same as what Shen Wansan had done in the past, but the result was completely opposite.
Why? Wasn't it because of strength? Only those with strength were qualified to do so.
This was a clear and obvious plot. Even if they knew about it, they couldn't stop it. This was the general trend of things.
