God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

Looking back at Chen Wang, Ma Xinde turned around from the balcony and walked into the restaurant. Feeling the temperature inside the restaurant, he knew that what Chen Wang said was true.

This special etching technique for cloud nodes produces immediate results.

If someone uses their willpower to control the surrounding natural energy and convert it into the corresponding nodes, they can directly raise the temperature of the surrounding environment, thereby creating a comfortable atmosphere.

However, only a few restaurants in Chang'an were willing to invest so much money to build the corresponding infrastructure, and even many high-ranking officials' homes could not do this.

It is precisely this comfortable and almost constant temperature environment that makes more and more people choose this type of restaurant.

Thanks to the wealth left behind by Arvind, the help of his personnel, and the support provided by the Han Empire's officials, Mahind was able to stay in this place for a long time.

Not only are their three meals a day guaranteed, but they also receive frequent visits from relevant personnel who show their concern.

Even Chen Wang, the person in charge of the restaurant, showed respect and enthusiasm after learning about Ma Xinde's importance and talent.

Respecting others stems from a sense of responsibility; those in a position must fulfill their duties.

The reason for this enthusiasm is that they hope the other party can take a look at their child, understand the child's strengths and talents, so as to plan the child's future and ideally help the child surpass their parents.

Through the efforts of several generations, the family will be able to continue for a long time.

Having understood the other party's thoughts, Ma Xinde didn't pay much attention to it. In fact, after so many days of receiving guests, he had long since become accustomed to it.

For the aristocratic families of the Central Plains, it wasn't just Ma Xinde who could determine the detailed talents and growth direction of individuals; there were others who could do it as well.

It is even more detailed, more comprehensive, and more terrifying, capable of pinpointing the corresponding direction, the limits of growth, and so on.

That is precisely why the powerful families of the Han Empire rarely sought out each other unless they were in a particularly urgent or certain situation.

Because each inquiry involves a huge exchange of favors and benefits, which is a huge expense for aristocratic families.

If it's just a simple trade of goods, it's not a big deal for aristocratic families. Even if the price is high, it's a minor issue.

However, such help often amounts to favors, and favors are the hardest to repay, and the kind of debts that powerful families least want to owe each other.

In this situation, Mahinda's abilities, while not comprehensive, detailed, or extreme, were still able to determine the general direction.

Most importantly, it consumes little resources and can view multiple people at once, making it suitable for recruiting talent.

Even on a more extravagant scale, with a large family and confirmed individuals possessing exceptional talent and intelligence, it's not impossible to further explore potential avenues for advancement.

However, although he helps others assess qualifications and confirm their general direction, Mahinda has not always been doing this.

It's not just about needing rest yourself, but also about assessing the value and consequences of the process.

Large-scale talent selection and screening can sometimes backfire, even if successful. Given past experiences, Ma Xinde is already careful about the number of candidates selected to avoid similar situations. This approach stems entirely from a conversation, or rather, a deal, he had with Liu Tong.

In this transaction, whenever he had the time, the mood, and the willingness, Mahinda helped the people who came to him to screen their qualifications and confirm the direction.

In addition to providing some political protection, Liu Tong also ordered the pardon of a group of Yuezhi people who had not committed any major crimes, and even the Yuezhi and Saipan people who might appear in the future and were willing to yearn for the Han Empire.

In this respect, Masinde believed that the price paid by the Han Empire was absolutely sincere.

Even though he considered himself to be of considerable value and extremely capable, Mahinda never imagined he could exchange it for so much.

This includes not only individuals, but also their respective ethnic groups, nations, and the future.

With this guarantee of political asylum, in the subsequent process of getting along and being accepted, whether it was Arvind, other Yuezhi people, or the Saipan people he belonged to, there was a possibility and hope for them to continue.

It was precisely because he understood the strength and power of the Han Empire that Ma Xinde knew that Liu Tong's concessions and deals in this regard were a sign that he respected him greatly.

Given the strength and wealth of the Han Empire, if it had fought with the intention of destroying everything, neither the Yuezhi nor the Saipan people would have been able to gain a foothold on this land.

As for where they will be exiled to, or whether they will have the opportunity to be exiled at all, it all depends on the attitude and decision of the Han Empire.

The once powerful nomadic peoples of the grasslands are now few and far between, and the Xiongnu, whose name means "nomadic people," have vanished completely; they can no longer be heard of.

This level of destructive and annihilating capability not only refreshed Mahinda's understanding but also made him appreciate the value of this deal even more.

Given his advanced age, limited future, and limited time left to work, Mahinda agreed to the deal.

This deal will make life a little easier for Arvind and the others, and repay Arvind for his kindness.

Even after so many years, Arvind's respect and behavior toward him have remained largely unchanged.

For more than a decade, day after day, how could Mahinda possibly ignore it?

Mahinda is a wise man, not a cold-blooded one. Given his ability to repay, he is naturally willing to lend a helping hand.

So now, Arvind has led his men and their families to settle in the Hetao Plain, learning the local semi-nomadic lifestyle and quickly adapting and transforming.

As the leader of the group, Arvind didn't have much time to waste. Instead, he had to actively prepare to fulfill his promise.

Whether it's to complete the transaction or to avoid Mahinda's long journey, Arvind will still need to come to Chang'an later and bring the people to the Hetao Plain, or after things stabilize in the Hetao Plain, he can live with them in Chang'an.

In this situation, Mahind only needed to think about it for a moment to know what decision Arvind would make.

Or rather, every Yuezhi person would make the same decision.

I'll go wherever the princess is... (End of Chapter)
