Chapter eight hundred and ninety eight: the hearts of the people
"When will the support you will be given to you in the city?" Zhuang Lexian looked at Huang Yuchen and felt that it was not a wise move to go to Mingyuan City so recklessly.
"Following their activity direction, I can't count on it in a short period of time." Huang Yuchen said: "It may take until we take down Mingyuan City before all of them can arrive."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Lexian scratched his head and said, "What should I do? Send someone to touch the bottom first?"
After Zhuang Lexian said this, his eyes turned to Jiying at the same time.
It is too simple for Shunxingzhe. If you want to travel between Chikang City and Mingyuan City in a short time, the most suitable candidates are Jiying and Su Rong, who can easily hide their whereabouts.
Jiying looked at Huang Yuchen, and his face had not changed much, and he whispered: "I can do this. With two hundred miles and spy information, Su Rong and I can travel back and forth in three days."
"If the speed is faster, we should be able to catch up with Fan Liao's time to bring people into the city." Zhuang Lexian said: "It's just right to see what this Shi Fei's attitude towards Fan Liao, so we can also take action later."
At this moment, Su Rong's figure appeared quietly in the courtyard, silently. Huang Yuchen first discovered Su Rong's figure and asked at her with a smile: "Senior, please come and go."
Su Rong didn't say anything, just nodded gently, paused for a moment, and asked, "Do you kill someone?"
Huang Yuchen immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't kill, no kill, no one will kill. I just need to know the situation and distribution of power within Mingyuan City. Shi Fei is a human being and the number of masters in the city."
Upon hearing this, Su Rong nodded, then looked at Jiying. Jiying and Su Rong looked at each other, immediately stood up, turned to Huang Yuchen and said, "Three days later, we will meet in the city lord's mansion."
After saying that, Jiying and Su Rong quickly disappeared, and their speed was extremely fast.
Zhuang Lexian and Yin Cai who were watching from the side were a little stunned. Unexpectedly, the two of them left without asking a single question.
"Tomorrow morning, they should be able to reach Mingyuan City." Huang Yuchen said to Zhuang Lexian: "After learning about the situation inside, we will decide how to act."
"Then we are all leaving. Are you okay here?" Zhuang Lexian looked at Yin Cai beside him and said, "Can you protect you by yourself? Your identity has been made public. Since Fan Liao can even know that you are in Chikang City, others must also know."
"If they send someone to find you in advance, killing you is the easiest way."
Huang Yuchen smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "With Yin Cai and forty tycoons here, those who can kill me will not be able to do it unless the Venerable is a venerable." Huang Yuchen said, taking out his transparent long sword from the Gate of Time and Space and looking at Zhuang Lexian.
"Besides, can't I run away if I can't beat me? I'm a person from the Sect of Time and Space." Huang Yuchen checked the formation talismans in the long sword, and found that the talismans were relatively stable, so he threw the sword in again.
By opening and closing the door of time and space many times, Huang Yuchen has become very skilled in this process and can basically move with his heart. The door of time and space does not appear in a fixed place, but can appear anywhere around him.
This greatly improves the efficiency of using the time and space gate. With such things in hand, there are really not many people who can kill Huang Yuchen.
"Anyway, after we leave, you should be careful." Zhuang Lexian said: "Those two instant walkers don't necessarily care about your life."
"Okay, let's not talk about these." Huang Yuchen said softly: "Instead of worrying about these, it's better to think about how Chikang City should be rectified. During the war, this city could not always be a paradise. In the future, when we leave here, Wang Junliang will definitely follow. If the last barrier in Chikang City is broken, it will immediately become a homeless place. What should the people here do?"
"You have no one or soldiers now, so it's impossible to do city defense." Zhuang Lexian said: "There are only forty breeders who can use. No matter how powerful they are, the number of people is limited. Now what you should worry about is not Mingyuan City, but Xiwang Mansion."
Huang Yuchen nodded lightly, but did not take this matter seriously. There were instant travelers like Jiying Surong, and Yin Cai and forty living people. There were not many people in the world who could threaten him.
"Okay, go to the city lord's mansion to have a look. This courtyard will be kept for the time being, and it may be useful in the future." Huang Yuchen stood up, looked at Zhuang Lexian and Yin Cai behind him, and walked straight out of the courtyard.
Huang Yuchen has now understood the situation of Chikang City. At this moment, he has completely recovered Chikang City. However, such a small town is sparsely populated and nearby villages and towns have almost been plundered. Huang Yuchen had an idea in his mind, but it is not the time to implement it yet.
There are not one-tenth of the population in the surrounding villages and towns, and most of the remaining ones are old, weak, sick and disabled. Huang Yuchen wanted to move all these people into Chikang City. In the city, at least they can ensure their lives. However, now Huang Yuchen does not have enough people to do this. Moreover, when Fan Liao left, he took away a large amount of food stored in the city. If all the surrounding populations moved in, it may also cause a food crisis in Chikang City.
However, the situation here is definitely much better than that in the imperial capital. This year, Qitian is a year of harvest, and only the imperial capital missed the farming time and interrupted the trade route due to war and chaos, which may cause famine. Although other places in Qitian are changing, food, grass and population are the root of the snatch between various forces, they are not yet at the point of starving to death.
It is easy to conquer the world, but it is difficult to defend the world. Huang Yuchen must now think of a way to be able to maintain long-term stability. After taking down the surrounding cities, he will use the fastest time to establish the prestige of the Qitian Empire again, so that the people feel dependent and avoid such things in the future as much as possible.
Although he was very relaxed in front of Zhuang Lexian and others, only Huang Yuchen himself knew the pressure. When things reached this point, it would affect his whole body. He no longer represents himself, but represents the entire Qitian Empire, represents the new imperial power of the Qitian Empire, and represents the entire Dongwang Mansion. If Huang Yuchen fails, it means the failure of his elder brother Huang Yuanwu, and also means the failure of the entire Dongwang Mansion.
Therefore, when Huang Yuchen was doing this, he had to think carefully, otherwise he would not have arranged for Jiying and Surong to go to Mingyuan City first. According to his previous behavior, he could directly ask Zhuang Lexian to take the giant to Mingyuan City. With Zhuang Lexian's temper and the combat power of the giant, he would definitely cause great oppression to everyone in Mingyuan City.
It’s just that although it is easy to do this, it is not the best way to win over the people’s hearts. He does not want him to completely use force to recover the lost land of Qitian, nor does he want the people to think that the new Qitian Dynasty is a dynasty that mainly represses by force. Such rights cannot be stabilized.
Outside the City Lord's Mansion, the original snow had been cleared, revealing the bluestone road below. A group of people were busy in the square in front of the door, and the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was also completely cleared out. Two towering stone lions squatted in front of the City Lord's Mansion, stealing an indescribable majesty.
Huang Yuchen saw the two stone lions frowned slightly. He suddenly knew why Fan Liao didn't want to live in the City Lord's Mansion. Being together with the City Lord's Mansion was only one of the reasons. The City Lord's Mansion looked strangely majestic, which was incompatible with the people of Chikang City. Living here for a long time will also create a gap with the people.
"Big man, I'll throw away these two stones at the door." Huang Yuchen pointed to the two stone lions at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, said softly to the giant, then ignored them and went straight into the City Lord's Mansion.
When the giant heard Huang Yuchen's words, he walked straight forward. The stone that was one person tall under his hands seemed to be carrying a duck. He picked up the two stone lions at the door with extremely relaxed hands, walked slowly to a corner of the city lord's mansion, and kept it among a pile of miscellaneous items. The people working in the square were stunned and were also afraid of the giant who was more than ten feet tall.
Huang Yuchen walked into the city lord's mansion and saw Wang Junliang and Pang Qi head-on. Pang Qi was commanding the people to clean the courtyard, while Wang Junliang stood in front of the city lord's mansion hall, not knowing what to think about.
The city lord's mansion has almost been cleaned up, and the snow that was originally piled up was gathered together and ready to be pushed out. This time, Pang Qi summoned more than a hundred people, and it was very quick to sit up and very efficient.
Huang Yuchen slowly walked to Pang Qi and whispered: "Old Pang, thank you for your hard work."
Pang Qi did not expect Huang Yuchen to come. He immediately turned around when he heard Huang Yuchen's voice. Seeing that it was Huang Yuchen, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Sir, I am so serious. This is what I should do."
"I looked at the two stone lions at the door and let the big man throw them away." Huang Yuchen said to Pang Qi: "I think I should still say something to Mr. Pang."
"You don't have to, sir." Pang Qi was a little flattered and said, "This is the Chikang City of Lord, not the Chikang City of old."
Huang Yuchen smiled slightly and said, "Old Pang was joking. This is not the city of the younger generation, but the hometown of the senior generation. The city lord did not act as a mighty place here, but should be seeking blessings for this place. Oppressing the people with other people's fears should not be what the dynasty should be."
Upon hearing this, Pang Qi bowed deeply to Huang Yuchen without saying a word, but it was obvious that Huang Yuchen's goal had been achieved.
What the people want to see is a bright future, not a dark tomorrow. Although Chi Kangcheng returns to the heart, it depends on the general yearning for the empire in the people of Chi Kangcheng, rather than the achievements of Huang Yuchen. Huang Yuchen now must have a clear attitude to completely dispel the concerns in the entire Chi Kangcheng.
