"Let's go. Let's not waste any more time and keep His Majesty waiting." The Scribes did not want to say anything more. He turned around and led the crowd to the City Lord's Mansion.
The crowd did not say anything else. As they approached the City Lord's Mansion, they realized that the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion was bustling with noise. The citizens of the city had gathered at the entrance, and they were all surrounding a young figure.
They were shocked to discover that the young figure was Lin Qian.
As the emperor of the Hua Xia Empire, Lin Qian was actually squeezed together with a group of citizens. The contents of his conversation with the citizens were clearly heard by them.
After all, with their realm, it was not difficult for them to hear the specific content. The space was not sealed either.
"Your Majesty, why are the city guards not saying anything? Did we do something to make them unhappy?" Asked an old man after bowing to Lin Qian. He looked a little frightened. "I made some dishes earlier and wanted to send them to them to express my gratitude, but they ignored me. They are good people. They are different from the city guards in the past. "
When Lin Qian saw the old man's frightened expression, he smiled bitterly. He knew that the old man was afraid of offending the imperial army and was afraid that he would no longer protect them.
Seeing this, Lin Qian felt even more emotional. The city guards in the past had caused great harm to the citizens of the city, leaving them with such a heavy psychological shadow.
"Old man, the Hua Xia Empire only has the imperial army and the Beast Army now. The things that the imperial army do are their duty. They don't like you to send gifts to express your gratitude, and they won't chat with others. They only care about protecting you and fighting for the empire, "said Lin Qian as he helped the old man up.
"If you really want to thank them, just thank them and live your life well."
After Lin Qian finished speaking, he had no other choice. He couldn't tell the old man that the Imperial Army was created directly from the Huaxia Empire's military camp, could he?
If he did, wouldn't he scare these people to death?
Following that, another little girl came forward timidly and asked curiously, "The Human Emperor that Father and Mother talked about was so bad to us. Why do you treat us so well, Your Majesty?"
The little girl's question caused the expressions of the surrounding people to change. They all held their breaths and looked at Lin Qian with both anxiety and curiosity.
Not only the commoners, but the people from the three forces also wanted to know Lin Qian's answer.
From the situation in Imperial Water Defense City, Lin Qian seemed to be extremely concerned about these commoners.
Towards ordinary citizens, the attitude of the various factions was very simple, and that was to serve these tyrannical Spirit Martial Artists.
"Because you are now citizens of the Hua Xia Empire. Since you are citizens of the Hua Xia Empire, you are also my citizens. Shouldn't I treat you well?" Lin Qian smiled and reached out his hand to pat the girl's head.
Everyone present was stunned. No one had expected Lin Qian's answer to be this.
Just because they were citizens of the Hua Xia Empire, they should live a good life?
What kind of reason was this?
They were also citizens of the Qin Dynasty in the past. Why didn't the Qin Dynasty treat them well?
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Lin Qian laughed and said, "Harvesting soul crystals is something that the Spirit Martial Artists have to cultivate. They don't have the time to do it, so they can only rely on you."
"I need to cut the soul crystals into pieces for easier use. I also need you to do that."
"The Spirit Rice and Spirit Fruits used by the Spirit Martial Artists need you to grow them and send them over …"
"In fact, many aspects of the Spirit Martial Artists cannot do without everyone's contributions. It is because of you that the Spirit Martial Artists can focus on cultivating and not waste their time on trivial matters. The advancement of the Spirit Martial Artists cannot do without your help. They are indebted to you. "
"If the Hua Xia Empire wants to become stronger, it cannot do without your contributions. As long as you live a good life, you will be happy when you do things. You will be able to get twice the results with half the effort. More and more talents will walk out of you and serve the Empire, making the Empire stronger and stronger. "
Lin Qian stood up and looked at the citizens of the Imperial Water City. With a serious expression, he said, "You are the most important foundation of the Empire. You are like the foundation of a house. The better you live, the stronger the foundation will be. Only then will the house built on top be tall and stable."
"I hope that you love this Empire and not hate it. This is the reason."
"Your Majesty, I can die without regrets as a citizen of the Hua Xia Empire!" The old man knelt on the ground. Even though his hair had turned white, his voice was still loud and clear.
The other citizens in front of the mayor's mansion were also influenced by the old man's voice. They all knelt down in front of Lin Qian.
But soon after, they felt a gentle force lifting them up from the ground.
"We have guests, so please disperse for now," Lin Qian said with a smile after using his Soulforce to help everyone up.
Only then did the citizens in front of the mayor's mansion realize that many people were slowly descending from the sky.
Hearing Lin Qian's words, everyone bowed to Lin Qian and left.
The little girl waved her hands and shouted at Lin Qian, "Your Majesty, I want to marry Your Majesty when I grow up."
"Hahaha, that won't do. The empress will be jealous." Hearing the little girl's shout, Lin Qian laughed.
The little girl's mother hurriedly carried her daughter who was talking nonsense and bowed to Lin Qian apologetically. After the latter nodded in acknowledgment, she turned around and returned to her residence.
Seeing the little girl in his mother's arms still pouting and waving at him, Lin Qian rubbed his nose helplessly.
Ye Xin, who had accompanied him since he was young, had already left an unerasable mark in his heart.
During those difficult days, it was also Ye Xin who had accompanied him. This kind of relationship was unbreakable.
"I have no interest in sharing my love for Xin 'er with another woman." Lin Qian thought to himself. He then turned around to face the three elders and the rest.
"Three elders, everyone, you've been waiting for a long time." Seeing the crowd, Lin Qian smiled and cupped his hands, "I'm afraid I'll have to rely on everyone's help in the war against the Qin Dynasty in the future."
"This isn't the place to talk. Why don't you follow me in?"
Everyone nodded after hearing Lin Qian's suggestion. They followed behind him and walked into the inner part of the mansion.
Lin Qian led everyone to the meeting hall of the mayor's mansion. The hall could be said to be dazzling with gold and jade, showing how extravagant the previous mayor of the Imperial Water Defense City was.
After arriving at the meeting hall, Lin Qian unceremoniously sat on the main seat. There were already three seats beside him, obviously reserved for the three elders.
However, what made everyone and Lin Qian surprised was that the three elders actually waved their hands and moved their seats to the side.
As a result, the three elders' seats were clearly lower than Lin Qian and their posture was clearly much more humble.
As if expecting everyone to have such doubts, Fang Shuiwen first looked at Zhou Yian and Yang Guixiang who were beside him.
Seeing the two of them nod, the three simultaneously cupped their hands and bowed to Lin Qian.
"Young master!"
