Even Chen Zhixian couldn't help but feel moved at this moment, and even felt a little regretful. He secretly wondered if he was the first to join the Dayi Dynasty and bring the entire Chuyun Town to join Dayi, would he also receive a large reward, or even more? Moreover, no matter when, the one who is remembered is the first, and few people remember the second.
That has a completely different meaning, and it can even enter the eyes of the top leaders of Great Yi from the very beginning. It can enter the eyes of King Yi.
"Alas, Lu Wenjun actually got there first. That's right. His decisiveness has always been among the best among us. Facing the natural disaster, choosing to join Dayi is what everyone wants and what we have to do. Even if we don't agree, I'm afraid it won't work."
Chen Zhixian looked at the expectant expressions of many people in the town and smiled bitterly in his heart.
It can be seen that the people's hearts are no longer on himself, but are completely concentrated on the Dayi Dynasty. In troubled times, especially in the face of natural disasters, whoever can keep the people of the world alive will win the hearts of the people.
Overt conspiracy, this is a real open conspiracy.
The trend of the times cannot be stopped.
"May I ask Lord Mao, has Hulu Town really joined Dayi? Will Dayi really accept human forces like us? This is a year of natural disasters."
Chen Zhixian asked Mao Sui.
"Of course it's true. My king once said that we are all human, so we are brothers and sisters. We share the same fate. The door of the Dayi Dynasty is open to all human beings and human forces in the world. As long as they are willing to join Dayi, they will naturally be glad to be accepted. However, after joining Dayi, they also need to accept the laws and rules of Dayi. Moreover, generally speaking, unless there is a serious fault, whether it is the original village lord or town lord, they will be promoted to the position of city lord, ranked third grade. In the first ten years, they can stay in their original town, and in the second ten years, they will be rotated on a regular basis."
When Mao Sui heard Chen Zhixian's words, he smiled in his heart, knowing that the effect of throwing a brick to attract jade had appeared.
People all have a blind obedience mentality. If someone takes the lead and joins Dayi, other human forces will naturally follow as long as they are willing. Because the people's hearts are no longer there, joining Dayi is undoubtedly the only choice to ensure their own interests, unless they move their towns away from the original location and away from the Dayi Dynasty. But the problem is that the entire Eternal World is in the midst of natural disasters, and you cannot avoid them no matter where you move. Without Dayi's assistance, it is still a question whether you can survive.
Therefore, the choices given to them are actually not many.
Now after hearing Mao Sui's final confirmation, he already had something in mind.
"Perhaps, joining Dayi may not be a bad choice. We humans must unite. It is said that the Ten Thousand Beasts King Court has been established on the Ten Thousand Beasts Plain. If we don't unite, we may face destruction in the future."
A thought flashed through Chen Zhixian's mind.
Natural disasters are an extremely difficult process for any race. In the absence of food, they will probably attack human villages and towns. In the eyes of other races, humans are also blood food.
This is not a possibility, but a necessity.
If you join Dayi, there is no doubt that this problem can be directly swept away. No need to worry about it.
However, he did not make a decision immediately. There were some things that needed to be discussed with other people in the town.
Scenes like this were everywhere in the area surrounding the Great Yi Dynasty. The message was not only delivered to Mao Sui, but also to other envoys. It was also deliberately arranged to be directly presented to everyone, allowing the message to spread uncontrollably.
Unconsciously, people in many human forces have begun to become restless.
"It's done."
Mao Sui watched, and a thought flashed through his mind. A strategist can read people's faces best. From Chen Zhixian's expression, he can guess the changes in his thoughts. If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be long before Chuyun Town becomes another territory of Dayi.
The news of Hulu Town joining Dayi was released at this moment in order to add another bargaining chip in their hearts.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
Three days later.
In the immortal cities of the Great Yi Dynasty, the atmosphere that had seemed somewhat dull due to the snowstorm suddenly became hot.
"Haha, have you heard? In the past few days, dozens of towns have submitted letters of surrender, pledged allegiance to our Great Yi Dynasty, joined our Great Yi Dynasty, and became a part of our Great Yi. The king personally promoted these existing towns to immortal cities."
"Yes, that's great. After joining our Dayi Dynasty, the people of the human race in those towns can finally have a good life. With Dayi here, the days ahead will only get better and better. At that time, they will be able to live a truly human life and enjoy the dignity that belongs to our human race."
"Yes, I used to be a commoner in a village. After hearing about Dayi, I traveled together and experienced many hardships before arriving in Dayi. I have the good life I have today. Only then did I truly feel like a human being. Only then did I live with dignity."
Countless people said this with deep emotion.
In the past few days, because of the envoys sent by the Great Yi Dynasty and the gifts given out, the hearts of the people in the villages and towns of the human race were boiling, and everyone was turning to the Great Yi. Under this trend, even if the leaders of those forces were unwilling, they could not stop the boiling public opinion. In addition to the threat of natural disasters, the various treatments offered by Hulu Town also really made those in power excited, so one after another, towns expressed their willingness to surrender to the Great Yi and become a part of the Great Yi.
Naturally, Dayi accepted all offers without hesitation and gladly accepted them.
Originally, this was the result that Dayi wanted to see the most. Now that the time had come to reap the rewards, there was no reason to refuse.
In just three days, dozens of towns had surrendered.
These towns have also received attention. Not only have appointments been issued, but also a large number of craftsmen from the Tiangong Pavilion have gone to various towns.
"Let's go. Since there is a snowstorm, we don't have anything else to do. All the towns that have been promoted to fairy cities must be rebuilt, and they are built with black and yellow bricks. There are large projects everywhere, and we are short of manpower. The court will hire us for ten eternal coins a day, which is quite a generous sum of money."
"Yes, if we stay in the city, we can't go out hunting. The beasts are hiding and no trace can be seen. It's better to help build the fairy city. We can also earn money and contribute to Dayi. Let's go together."
"Yes, it is said that once these towns are expanded and built into fairy cities, the angels of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory will immediately drive the fairy cities away and place them in their destined locations. This will help us expand our territory."
Countless people of Dayi showed sincere pride on their faces.
Yes, in their view, this is expanding territory, and in fact, this is also a fact.
Other races could only tremble in fear and despair under natural disasters, but Dayi defied this conclusion and continued to expand without hesitation under natural disasters. This was an incredible act against the will of heaven.
The trend is like a tide, go against the current.
A large number of people joined the construction army.
Mountains of dark yellow bricks were quickly transported to towns one after another. In each town, hundreds of thousands of people worked on the construction at the same time, and under the command of Tiangong Pavilion, the construction was completed quickly.
The speed of construction is truly inhuman.
The city walls, the city foundations, and even the houses in the city would undergo fundamental transformations every moment to an hour. Those who came to help were all monks, with great strength and strong physiques. The efficiency was naturally imaginable.
With full efforts to rush the construction, the existing foundations of these towns were added.
The expansion into a fairy city would take no more than two or three days.
That scene was like a dream. In a trance, fairy cities had sprung up from the ground like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The fully mobilized Dayi could create incredible miracles with its explosive power.
"Your Majesty, fifty-six towns have submitted letters of submission. With full strength, they can be expanded and become immortal cities in three days at the earliest. Moreover, as time goes by, it won't be long before there will be a hundred, or even a thousand immortal cities. This will be enough to more than double the territory of Dayi."
Huang Chengyan appeared in the palace and sat in the imperial garden with Yi Tianxing. They admired the flowers and drank tea. They also played music.
"Although the natural disaster is terrible, it may not be a great opportunity for our Great Yi to rise. Due to the natural disaster, the foreign tribes are unable to free up their hands to control the actions of our Great Yi. Such an opportunity must not be missed. However, this expansion must be carried out in a planned manner. Expansion cannot be unlimited. The key lies in people. There must be a sufficient population to make the expansion worthy of the name."
The foundation of everything lies in population.
This is also the reason why Yi Tianxing agreed without hesitation to the alien race's offer to exchange human civilians for food and supplies.
A normal fairy city can accommodate one million people.
Of course, it can be more or less, but it must at least reach four or five hundred thousand to allow the Immortal City to have enough strength to suppress the surrounding wilderness.
Today, it includes the population in those human towns who surrendered, plus the population taken from alien races.
The entire Dayi population has reached more than 300 million.
It may seem like a lot, but when you actually calculate, it can only satisfy the construction of more than 300 immortal cities. Of course, if you want, 400 immortal cities are also possible. Even if you think of a way, 500 immortal cities may not be impossible. After all, the population is still expanding. However, if the expansion can be carried out in a planned way, it will be more conducive to control.
