"Very good. If the Zheng family can do it, then I believe that no one will ignore the merits of Dayi. When you officially join, all the merits will be directly accumulated in your name. According to what I know, the court is now discussing the establishment of a state city and the establishment of a state governor. The lord of a city is a third-rank official, and the governor of a state is a second-rank official. The lord of a state has the power to govern and assess all the immortal cities within his jurisdiction. To be promoted, you must have enough merits and talents. Maybe City Lord Zheng can do it."
Mao Sui seemed to have revealed a piece of information inadvertently.
The news that Dayi was going to establish a provincial governor was actually only circulated in a small circle and remained in the court.
After all, Dayi's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and it has more and more fairy cities. There are countless things to deal with every day. If it weren't for the teleportation array and the star network, such a large territory would have huge problems in any ancient dynasty. The lack of connectivity and information retention would have a great impact. However, even so, it does require a higher-level governor to carry out certain management and coordination.
It can also allow the lord of the immortal city to have more room for advancement, as the most direct springboard to enter the Great Yi Capital.
"Provincial governor?"
Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong and others' eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a look of great yearning. What is this? This is a high position of power, this is ruling a region. That kind of status is definitely not the bottom in the Great Yi.
Suddenly, everyone revealed extremely strong ambitions.
Mao Sui naturally noticed this, but he just smiled in his heart. He thought that there was nothing to be afraid of if they had ambitions, as Da Yi could accommodate their ambitions. All they needed was real ability, and it would depend on whether they were truly virtuous and capable enough for the position.
"City Lord Zheng may have a chance."
Mao Sui gave his hope without hesitation, but it was just a hope. Whether he could do it or not depended on himself. He did not have the power to make such a big promise.
This also depends on your own merits.
Afterwards, naturally, both the host and the guests had a great time.
As they ate and drank, the atmosphere became better and better. The Zheng family was trying hard to make friends, and Mao Sui also wanted to completely pull the Zheng family onto the warship of Dayi. During the conversation, bursts of laughter continued to ring out. Then, Mao Sui also revealed that if the Zheng family wanted to join Dayi, then the Coconut King City would have to accept the reconstruction of Dayi, uniformly casting it with dark yellow bricks, and then outlining the corresponding rune formation to make it the same as Dayi Fairy City.
Of course, there is no need to make a big fanfare, just secretly carry out the transformation. Zheng Zhilong and others don't need to worry about these. Next, the craftsmen of Dayi will arrive secretly to complete the transformation for them. When necessary, they can change their ways at any time. It can be easily incorporated into the Dayi system.
Not long after, Mao Sui chose to leave.
A gag order was also issued for this meeting. Apart from the Zheng family, no one knew Mao Sui’s identity, and no one knew what the specific topic of conversation was after the meeting.
At the same time, Zhang Tong and others also entered one island after another and found the bases of the human forces. They started to speak eloquently. With the invisible deterrent power of Dayi behind them, coupled with the extremely harsh environment around them and the threat of constant pirate attacks, the psychological defenses of these human forces were almost broken as soon as they heard that they could join Dayi and even retain their status and be transferred to other places, or even continue to serve as the city lord in the current area.
The difference in status between the current city lord and the city lord of Dayi is absolutely unimaginable.
There is a world of difference.
"I agree. Of course I agree."
"If you join Dayi, you can become the lord of a city. Even if the position of city lord is rotated every ten years, even if you fail the assessment, you can still use the ten-year position of city lord to build a strong enough foundation in Dayi. In the future, you can establish a family and pass it on."
"As long as you have human blood, even if you are a branch of only a part of the human blood, you can still join Dayi and integrate into Dayi. You will not be discriminated against and can obtain the same rights and respect. As long as you can do these, why not join Dayi? Of course I am willing."
"We are a nomadic people, can we also join Dayi? As long as it is possible, why would we not want to?"
The lobbying of Zhang Tong and others was unstoppable. All major forces had long been suffering from the pirates. The construction that had just been completed would be destroyed in the next moment. That kind of experience happened once, twice, dozens of times, and a hundred times. They all had an unimaginable obsession with a stable and secure life.
According to the national policy, as long as they have human blood, no matter they are from the Golden Scale branch, the Giant Foot branch, the Big Head branch, etc., they will be accepted and incorporated into the Great Yi human system. They can enjoy the same rights and get the same respect. They will not be discriminated against. This makes many branches and tribes with blood ties to the human race excited.
They didn't think it was shameful. It was like pie in the sky. The gratitude in their hearts was even stronger.
Plans in the Caribbean are proceeding in full swing.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
At this moment, in the Devil's Sea.
On an unnamed island, one could see that the surrounding area was covered by fog. At some point, a fairy city appeared on the island. The appearance of this fairy city was exactly the same as Dayi Fairy City. It was nothing else but the fairy city from Dayi. It had quietly taken root on the island, gathering the dragon veins of the earth, the vitality of heaven and earth, and with the help of prohibitions, naturally formed fog, covering the entire island.
This place is very remote and not on any known shipping lanes in the Devil's Sea.
In the city, one can see a general guarding the surroundings. In the city lord's mansion, a middle-aged scholar in a white robe stands inside. He is none other than Jia Xu. Also, beside Jia Xu, there is a scholar with wisdom in his eyes.
These are none other than the strategists in the Tiance Palace.
"Master, the bait has been sent out. It won't be long before the target goes to the area we designated and finds what we have reserved. Then, the plan can begin."
Wu Yong said to Jia Xu with a smile.
"Well, the most important thing this time is guidance. The purpose of our existence is to add fuel to the fire in the incident. For the rest, everything doesn't need to be too deliberate. Just a little guidance will be enough."
Jia Xu smiled indifferently and spoke calmly and confidently.
"Don't worry, the pirate group we are guiding here is called the Ugly Monster Pirates. They are neither strong nor weak, but middle-class. The pirate group has a flagship ship named Ugly Monster and seven pirate ships. They are named Two Monsters, Three Monsters... to the last Eight Monsters. There are about 100,000 pirates. Moreover, the leader of this pirate group is called Buggy the Clown King. He is quite powerful and possesses the Devil Fruit, the Split Fruit. Once he attacks, he can instantly split the opponent into pieces and kill them on the spot. He is very domineering."
Wu Yong quickly spoke out the target's information.
This time, the Tian Ce Mansion can be said to have sent out all its elite troops to make plans against the Demon Sea. Once successful, all the strategists of the Tian Ce Mansion will have made great contributions. According to thousands of deductions in the mansion, the probability of success can be said to be quite high.
... ... ... ... ... ... ..
On the vast ocean.
It can be seen that a fleet of pirates is sailing and shuttling back and forth quickly. Each ship is huge. On the warships, a pirate flag is hung with a pattern of a clown and seven monsters, representing the Ugly Pirates.
"How is it? Have you found the big whale from before? It swallowed up the devil fruits that we collected with great difficulty, three in total. If I don't find it, I won't be able to eat or play with women."
Bucky, dressed as a clown, said angrily, waving his arms while speaking.
Some time ago, after retreating from the frontline battlefield of the siege of Dayi, they accidentally discovered an island and found three devil fruits. This kind of thing worth celebrating naturally made people very happy, but unfortunately, the joy turned into sorrow. The three treasure chests containing the devil fruits were sucked into the stomach of a giant whale that suddenly emerged from the water, and then it shook its tail, turned around and ran away.
This situation almost made Buggy vomit blood on the spot. It felt like a piece of flesh was cut off from his body, and it was so painful that he wanted to die. Without thinking, he immediately ordered the pirate group to chase the giant whale madly, to hunt it down completely and take back the devil fruits that had been swallowed. Those devil fruits must not have been digested yet, and the treasure chest was forbidden and could not be opened.
However, the giant whale was moving too fast in the sea. If it had not been for the backup plan in the devil fruit treasure chest that could have tracked it, it would have been lost long ago and thrown out for an unknown distance.
"It's not far away. We should be able to catch up with it soon. By then, the devil fruit will still be ours."
A pirate said loudly, his voice full of confidence.
"Look, there is an island ahead, an island I have never seen before."
At this moment, the pirate group made a new discovery.
A strange island appeared in front of them. The island looked very mysterious, and there seemed to be some mysterious treasure hidden on the island. There were wisps of white precious light emanating continuously, lighting up the island.
"The demon treasure chest is staying under this island and is not moving."
"Captain, there must be treasures on the island. The light it emits can be seen from a distance of a hundred miles. What an amazing treasure it is."
The eyes of a large number of pirates lit up.
"The target is the island ahead. Let's go there. The treasures there belong to our Ugly Pirates."
Bucky's face flushed with excitement. He waved his hand and gave a quick order.
