Zuo Yizhi was talking to Ao Mogang, and Song Yin walked to Su Yougen's seat. After sitting down, he said, "Tell me about your current situation."
"Master, let me report."
The first person to speak was Yao Ningqing. As the chief clerk of a city, in charge of internal affairs, he knew more.
He cupped his hands and said, "Now in the territory of the Golden Immortal Sect, there are a total of 530,000 mortal households, 1,663,210 people. There are 500,000 households living in the Hundred Guard City, and another 30,000 households living in the suburbs, forming villages."
"Now we have 800 imperial guards, 3,000 garrison troops, and 10,000 garrison personnel. Although our resources are not enough now, how do we know that this is not a benefit?"
When it comes to food, there is definitely enough of it. The Golden Immortal Sect has put a lot of effort into this regard. When it comes to combat power, they may be a little inferior, but when it comes to magic elixirs for use in the human world, when it comes to increasing food, they can be said to have flourished.
Pills that improve soil fertility and seeds released after improved breeding can both produce a lot of food.
But people don’t just care about having enough food to eat.
Among food, clothing, housing and transportation, food is only one of them, they also need other daily expenses.
The land also needs people to cultivate it. If there are no tools, can we use our hands
As the number of people increases, the number of clothes needs to keep up, including mulberry, hemp, and leather. You can't just wear leaves on your body.
Even if the immortal on the mountain could make the alchemy furnace produce fire and water, he could not create something from nothing.
The eldest master does have the magical power to create something out of nothing, but he is unwilling to do so, and Yao Ningqing does not want him to do so either. He can assist, but if he has to do everything by himself, how can he save mortals
They are human beings, not domesticated animals.
This place is so small, they have to get out eventually. They can't stay here forever. There are more people outside who need them to rescue!
Before, Yao Ningqing had to think carefully whether he and others could keep up with the pace of the master, but the master was also very prudent and not a reckless person. But now, the situation is different.
"The master has now become a god on earth, and the sun shines on our land alone. This is the time of heaven."
“Although resources have become less, we are also enterprising and are looking for ways to change. This is the advantage of our location.”
"After the flood, we all held our breath. In the front, the people did not fear the heavens and fought against the floods. In the back, the old farmers used dung forks to bravely fight against evil. There is nothing to fear about heaven, and there is nothing to fear about evil. This is harmony among people!"
"We have the right time, right place, and right people, Master. As long as you give the order, the mortals in your shelter will never let you down!"
Yao Ningqing was bowing deeply to Song Yin, his tone full of determination.
Su Yougen also cupped his hands. He didn't need to say anything. He was appointed by the Grand Master, and he would definitely obey the Grand Master's orders.
Zuo Yizi, who was standing aside, stopped chatting with Ao Mogang and just bowed.
If the Great Master were to rule the entire Nanping, the territory of Nanping would be enough for them to recuperate. With the addition of the Dragon Prince, the life of mortals would soon reach a whole new level.
He feels honored to be involved in such a grand event.
Song Yin looked at them and laughed, "The range of my Great Sun Dharma Image is, firstly, due to my realm. Wherever I go, the Great Sun will go. But I am only one person after all, so I naturally cannot take care of multiple places. Secondly, this Dharma Image is combined with the sun by my magical power, which is also related to your mentality. It is not the case that if you occupy a place, my Great Sun will go there."
"This will take time, and it will also require the mortals to return their hearts. I am very happy that you took the initiative to tell me, but you must know that when you go out to fight and eliminate evil demons, you still need to protect the mortals. Otherwise, even if you leave this land and occupy other places, if the mortals do not return their hearts, my great sun will not be able to cover them. In that case, those people will eventually be harassed by the evil demons, and at this time, they will die."
The three of them looked at each other, and Su Yougen was the first to say, "I am willing to die for the master!"
Song Yin shook his head and said, "Not for me, but for this great wish to save the world. What does it matter if you die for me? Once the beginning of death is opened, there is no stopping until it ends."
"Think about it. If you feel that you are not fully prepared, you can slow down. You don't have to worry about the resources. I can change and still provide you with what you need. We have plenty of time and enough patience to wait for you to be ready."
"Master!"
Yao Ningqing gritted his teeth and said, "Don't underestimate us. You are also a mortal. We are not the kind of people who live in disgrace! We can't just be saved and not care about what happens to the outsiders. If that's the case, why would we bother governing the country and planning for the mortals? What I want to do is to prevent this evil demon from ever running rampant again!"
As he spoke, he bowed his head again and said, "Please allow us to find it, sir, so that we can save our compatriots!"
The other two also had firm looks.
"Let's have a feast"
Song Yin said calmly: "How can we go to war without a banquet? Make preparations for the banquet. The Golden Immortal Sect and the mortals should drink together to complete this great cause of saving the world. Don't let people down. The lives of the mortals are at stake. It all depends on you."
He stood up and walked out.
Ao Mogang was stunned for a moment, then followed Song Yin out.
"What, you want to conquer more people? I can also help with this kind of thing. If you go to my land in the sea, there are countless treasures there. You can get whatever you want." Ao Mogang patted his chest, as if he had handed everything over to him.
Song Yin smiled and said, "That's great. I wanted to talk to you about this. Although we have different aspirations, our starting points are both good. If we have the help of like-minded people, it will surely be easier to save the world and save people."
He looked up at the sky, full of expectation: "If Second Junior Brother can find the Zixia Palace and connect it, it will be like a spark, igniting one bit at a time. Eventually, we will follow the righteous path and get rid of these evil demons, returning a clear sky to mortals!"
He is not the only righteous person in the world. After seeing the Zixia Palace that Ao Mogang and Zhang Feixuan mentioned, he was extremely happy.
After all, helping each other is much better than fighting alone.
No matter how powerful they are, they have only been able to stabilize a corner of Nanping Kingdom so far. But Nanping and Beigao together are just a desolate place.
But if there is a group of people with the same aspirations, it will be different. As long as they are integrated and each play to their own strengths, they can form a huge force.
"My way should flourish!"
Song Yin curled the corner of his mouth and blew a breath towards Ao Mogang.
"what you do?"
Ao Mogang only felt a clear air surrounding him, he looked down, but found nothing different.
"I am a mortal here, and I have never seen anything strange. In order to avoid shocking others, I have added a little illusion to you, so that you look no different from ordinary people."
Song Yin smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you around the city."
