Great Benefits for the People
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The large space was originally quiet, but after Chu Xingyun's words, the space was dead silent. The sound of a pin dropping could be heard clearly. Everyone's expression changed. Their pupils contracted, their mouths were wide open, and their bodies were stiff.
"All the power, real estate, and even businesses in the eighteen ancient cities will belong to us. What do you mean?" A person gasped heavily. His heart was trembling, and even his voice was trembling.
The family system of the Ancient Star Sect had existed for thousands of years. It was imprinted in everyone's mind. Chu Xingyun's words seemed to want to abolish the family system. How could the crowd not be shocked?
Moreover, the crowd was full of doubts about Chu Xingyun's words. They couldn't wait to raise their heads and stare at Chu Xingyun, eagerly waiting for an answer.
The corners of Chu Xingyun's mouth curled up. He said slowly, "The eighteen ancient cities will be ruled by Wanjian Pavilion. There is no doubt about this. However, the power, real estate, businesses, and other things in the eighteen ancient cities can be given to all the people."
"In the past, the courtyard that you lived in belonged to the family. If the family wants to take it back, you have no right to resist. However, after today, as long as you pay some money, the courtyard will belong to you. Even I can't take it back at will."
Thump!
Hearing this, countless people were stunned. As long as they paid money, they could get the right to live there. Even Chu Xingyun couldn't take it back at will. Did they hear it wrong?
"In the past, although you were able to manage the shops and manage business matters, in the end, these all belonged to the family and not you. However, from today onwards, those who possess the talent for management can be directly allocated shops and management resources under the supervision of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion. You will be given full authority to manage them.
After hearing this, the crowd was shocked again. But before they could think more, Chu Xingyun's voice sounded again, and his voice was even louder. "In the 18 ancient cities, there are branches of Wanjian Pavilion. The branches will inspect them regularly. As long as they meet the requirements and review standards of Wanjian Pavilion, they will be given power and various resources, and will never be taken back for no reason."
"As I said just now, as long as the Wanjian Pavilion is in charge of the Eighteen Ancient Cities, the decadent family system of the past will no longer exist. All the power, real estate, and even businesses in the Eighteen Ancient Cities will be given to you as long as you meet the conditions and obey the law!"
As his words fell, every single one of them was like an invisible hammer that fiercely struck the hearts of over a hundred thousand people, causing their bodies to tremble and their gazes to freeze. They were unable to move at all.
However, if one were to look carefully, one would see that in the depths of their eyes, there was a raging fire that was growing stronger and stronger, to the point where it was about to envelop their entire pair of eyes.
Among them, the expressions of the people from the various clans were the same. They were so strange that they couldn't be described with words.
"What's wrong with them?" Such a strange scene immediately made Ning Lefan frown. He turned his head and found that the expressions of the three hundred thousand young students had also changed, and their eyes were full of fire.
"As expected of Master, you can actually come up with such a method. It's really admirable!" Lu Ling took a deep breath. What he said made Ning Lefan even more confused, and he was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
Seeing this, Xia Qingcheng chuckled. After shaking her head, she lowered her voice and explained to Ning Lefan, "After the Wanjian Pavilion takes over the Eighteen Ancient Cities, the various clans must also live in seclusion and become hermit clans. They can't interfere in the affairs of the Eighteen Ancient Cities. In this way, the power, real estate, and even businesses that were originally owned by the various clans will be left behind."
"For thousands of years, these huge foundations have belonged to the various clans. Even if the various clans live in seclusion, they will never be willing to hand it over to the Wanjian Pavilion. And the Wanjian Pavilion will not be able to manage these foundations in a short period of time."
Ning Lefan wasn't good at management, but he could understand Xia Qingcheng's explanation. It was because of this that the various clans would unite and establish the so-called Elders' Guild. They would pretend to be obedient and oppose Chu Xingyun in every way.
This was also the root cause of the chaos in the Eighteen Ancient Cities!
"Master used a trick to lure away the older generation of the various clans, and then took all the power in his hands and gave it to others. Wouldn't this lead to a counterattack from the various clans?" Ning Lefan was shocked, but he saw Xia Qingcheng rolling her eyes at him with a helpless look as if she was looking at an idiot.
Chu Xingchen was amused by these two people and said softly, "These power and resources do belong to the Wanjian Pavilion, but after division, they belong to the common people. If the various clans want to counterattack, who are they going to counterattack against?"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Ning Lefan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to understand.
"Among the common people, there is no lack of middle-level figures from the various clans. They serve their clans conscientiously, but they have no power in their hands. Now, they can use their talents to obtain power that belongs to them, and no one can take it away from them. Will these people oppose Yun 'er's move?"
Chu Xingchen spoke again and looked at Chu Xingyun. He couldn't help but sigh, "If the clan system is not abolished, countless people can only submit themselves to the clan. Even if they obtain something, it will eventually be returned to the clan. On the contrary, if the clan system is abolished, countless people will be able to obtain things that they originally couldn't obtain, and no one can take it away from them.
"Yun 'er's move is not an illusory promise, but a great benefit for the common people. He is truly handing over power and resources to the common people. It is reasonable for them to have such an expression."
After listening to Chu Xingyun's explanation, Ning Lefan finally understood everything. His eyes fell on Chu Xingyun again, and there was only admiration and worship. This move was too amazing, and it completely overturned the common people's thoughts.
After all, the clans had been passed down for thousands of years, and the hierarchy was strict. No one could resist. Chu Xingyun's move today was to destroy the clan tower under his feet, and let the common people see the hope of a comeback.
Chu Xingyun paused for a moment. Before he could finish speaking, a commotion broke out among the crowd of more than one hundred thousand people below the pagoda. "These are the things that I will …."
Soon, the commotion died down. Many people moved their eyes and stared at Chu Xingyun with excitement. First, they froze, then became more and more passionate. When the passion reached a certain level, they actually knelt down one after another.
"Pavilion Master's words today are really beneficial to the Eighteen Ancient Cities. We will definitely follow!" Many people spat out these words from their mouths. At the same time, they also bowed their backs and buried their heads deeply.
