"As long as you can use me, please let me know. I will do my best to help you."
Mao Sui heard this and said with a smile on his face.
For Mao Sui, the skills he learned were to be used in foreign affairs, to create value and benefits for Dayi, and to achieve the ultimate goal without bloodshed. This was the most fundamental thing. Now he was the Minister of Rites, and he had the responsibility of welcoming guests on foreign missions.
If we can expand the territory of Dayi again, it will undoubtedly be a tremendous achievement.
"Food supplies cannot be sold directly to those human forces, but they can be given away for free. However, the giver must be our Dayi personally. Moreover, the supplies will not be handed over to other human forces, but will be directly delivered by our Dayi. We have an excuse to enter other human forces. Now is the best time to win people's hearts in this time of disaster."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "The reason why the Yellow Turban Army was able to sweep across the world in a short period of time and even nearly shook the foundation of the Han Dynasty was that the people of the world were already living in dire straits, with almost no place to stand and no food to eat. In despair, it was the great and wise teacher Zhang Jue who gave them a kind of faith, a kind of hope, and a kind of spiritual sustenance. For this reason, they were naturally unstoppable and corrupted the world."
Just ask yourself, if it were a peaceful time, who would be willing to rebel? Only when they really can't survive would they desperately grab at a glimmer of hope, fearing that it would disappear from their sight.
For a glimmer of hope, even at the cost of one's life, it is worth it.
And now, under the natural disasters, the living environment of countless people in the human race is undoubtedly even more terrible and severe than that in the late Han Dynasty. They may die at any time.
If in this situation we can give other people hope to survive, or even a better life and future, there is no need to think about it at all. I don’t know how many people will flock to it and give everything for it crazily.
In this situation, no matter how high the prestige and strength of the original human forces were in their own territory, it was all useless. They could not stop the rolling public opinion.
Without bloodshed, a large number of human forces were conquered. It can be said that this is definitely a great thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Of course, to run it well, we must send capable people, and Mao Sui is undoubtedly the best candidate.
If it can be achieved, not only can a large number of human beings be quickly harvested, but also the corresponding territory. These forces all have village building orders, and they only need to transform the original towns to quickly build immortal cities. The expansion can be completed more quickly.
"Now is the best opportunity for expansion. Everywhere in the world is suffering from natural disasters, and there is no spare energy for external expansion. Some even suffer heavy losses in disasters, and have no power to stop Dayi's expansion. Even though they know that Dayi is expanding and constantly occupying territory, those alien races can't do anything else. They can only watch. It's so relaxing. This is a great opportunity sent by God. If we miss this opportunity, it will be almost impossible to find another good opportunity. The only thing we have to do is to completely transform this opportunity into the foundation for Dayi's take-off."
Jia Xu said decisively.
Obviously, he and Zhuge Liang had both set their sights on this opportunity. This was a complete leap forward.
When other alien races suffered from natural disasters, Dayi was able to expand rapidly. The problem was that those alien races were unable to stop them and carry out targeted destruction. They still needed Dayi's food, and they suffered heavy losses from the natural disasters and could not resist Dayi's edge at all.
With such a godsend opportunity before us, it would be against the will of heaven if we don't seize it.
"Very good, so what if there is a natural disaster? Heaven moves forward, and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement. Man can conquer nature. Other forces must lie dormant and tremble in the face of natural disasters, but our Dayi will go against the natural disasters. Whether Dayi can take off depends on you, my dear ministers."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
The purpose of holding a court meeting was not to discuss some trade matters with foreign races, but to start planning for the future of Dayi.
So what if it is a natural disaster? A natural disaster is also a great opportunity. It’s just that others cannot take advantage of it, but Dayi can. This is a difference, and the difference is a gap.
"Your Majesty, there are human forces outside of Dayi. The mayor of Hulu Town, Lu Wenjun, came to the market to find me, and wanted to ask Your Majesty through me to let Hulu Town join Dayi and become a part of Dayi. Everyone in Hulu Town will respect Dayi and Your Majesty as their supreme leader. We are willing to submit and surrender."
At this time, Heshen said something again.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall had a flash of excitement in their eyes, and their faces showed joy. They had just set their goal, and the next moment they got such great news. This was undoubtedly a rare auspicious sign.
“There is actually such a thing.”
A smile also appeared on Yi Tianxing's face.
Being able to make the human race surrender directly undoubtedly means that the reputation of the Dayi Dynasty has become quite powerful. It is easy to conquer a force and gain a piece of territory without using weapons. This is always a happy event.
"Okay, my dear, where is Lu Wenjun now?"
Yi Tianxing looked at Heshen and asked.
"Now, Lu Wenjun is in Xuanhuang City. If the king is willing, he can see him at any time." He Shen said with a smile. He was also happy in his heart. When he got the news before, he subconsciously brought Lu Wenjun here just to give him a surprise.
"Okay, summon Lu Wenjun to the palace to meet me. As a voluntary surrender, I will not treat him unfairly."
Yi Tianxing said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, someone naturally came to pick him up.
Soon, Lu Wenjun arrived at Chaotian Palace.
Just look at Lu Wenjun, who is in a green robe, middle-aged, with a vicissitude on his face. Obviously, he has a lot of experience. He has gone through the years. However, he is now covered with frost and fatigue, and you can see what he has been through these days.
The most unique thing is that there is a green and yellow gourd on Lu Wenjun’s waist.
When talking about gourds, we have to talk about the origin of Hulu Town.
Hulu Town was founded by Lu Wenjun, but the name originated from the gourd. At that time, there were a large number of gourd vines growing at the location where the village was built. Gourds grew on these vines, and each of them was of excellent quality, and even contained a trace of spiritual energy. The most peculiar thing is that among these gourds, there is a certain probability of mutation, and spiritual gourds will be born directly from ordinary gourds. Such gourds can be used to refine magical instruments and treasures.
Gourds have always been said to be big and can hold a lot of things. In a gourd, if it is refined into a magical tool, it can store a large number of items and open up a large storage space. It can even be refined into a special magic weapon with great power.
Hulu Town relied on these gourds to finally gain a foothold and trade with other forces. In a short period of time, it transformed into a town. Naturally, these gourds played an indispensable role. Hulu Town is also proud of its gourds. The name of Hulu Town is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
What Lu Wenjun had on his waist was actually a magic gourd.
Unfortunately, no matter how many gourds there are, they cannot be turned into food. Now, there is a shortage of food in Hulu Town. If it continues like this, it won't be long before people starve to death. With no other options, after hearing about the Dayi Dynasty, he considered it again and again and finally decided to surrender. Apart from anything else, at least Dayi's behavior is well-known among the human people. It has not done anything to bully the human forces.
With a good reputation, people will naturally choose to come here.
"Lu Wenjun of Hulu Town pays homage to King Yi."
Lu Wenjun looked up at the hall, his mind was shocked, and he felt a stinging pain in his eyes. He subconsciously turned his eyes away. Along the way, he had been shocked countless times in the Great Yi Dynasty. Whether it was strength or background, it was completely beyond his imagination.
Especially during natural disasters, the Dayi Dynasty did not seem to be experiencing a natural disaster at all.
It is incredible that it still maintains its prosperity.
"No need to be polite, Mayor Lu."
Yi Tianxing smiled and said, "It is a great pleasure for Mayor Lu to come to our Great Yi. Our Great Yi Dynasty has never refused any human forces to join. As long as they join, Hulu Town will still be in charge of you. However, the rule of rotation every ten years still exists. Moreover, after joining, Hulu Town will transform into Hulu City. You are the city lord. You will enjoy the third-grade status of our Great Yi Dynasty. Good fortune will be added to you."
At the beginning, there was no beating around the bush. This was the Yun Dynasty, not a secular dynasty. Instead of intrigue and scheming, it was better to be straightforward.
"I... .....your subject, thank you very much, Your Majesty!!"
When Lu Wenjun heard this, he was shocked and couldn't help feeling a little happy.
The transformation from Hulu Town to Hulu City was undoubtedly a revolutionary change, and the benefits gained were immeasurable. He had witnessed the Immortal City of Dayi with his own eyes. Naturally, he knew that the two were incomparable.
"However, the fact that Hulu Town has joined the Great Yi Dynasty cannot be announced to the public for the time being."
Yi Tianxing said again.
“Why…why?”
When Lu Wenjun heard this, he showed a trace of surprise and asked quickly.
"As the saying goes, throwing a brick will attract jade, and your Hulu Town will become that introduction. It will be most effective if it is announced at the right time. At that time, it can be considered that your Hulu Town has made a great contribution."
Yi Tianxing said calmly.
Even good wine needs no bush; some things can only lead to the final qualitative change if there is a clear example.
Afterwards, after a brief description of the mystery, Lu Wenjun's face suddenly realized, and needless to say he was shocked in his heart. He was secretly shocked by Dayi's layout. At the same time, he was even more fortunate that he had taken the initiative to join Dayi.
Then he bent down and took out a magic gourd.
