When the army entered the city, it attracted a lot of onlookers.
There is no sign at all of the devastation it had experienced before, when it was sparsely populated.
"It seems that it was the spell called screen projection that Your Highness cast earlier that attracted quite a few people." The trainer praised with a smile.
"Ah, His Highness Taiyi! Here, here!" Sun Shangxiang's voice came from not far away.
The road ahead, which had seemed a bit congested, immediately opened up into a wide road, revealing Sun Shangxiang, who was standing there waving at Taiyi, and Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and the female servants standing on both sides of her.
At this moment, various shouts suddenly came from the crowd.
"Your Highness Taiyi, have we humans really achieved a great victory?"
"Your Highness Taiyi, can we really have enough to eat?"
"Your Highness Taiyi! Can our peaceful days really come?"
Taiyi pulled the reins to stop the horse, then looked around at the passers-by who looked skinny because they didn't have enough food, and nodded heavily.
"I'll make the promise and I'll deliver it! Everything is under my control!"
A projection screen appeared beside Taiyi. At the same time, tens of thousands of projection screens appeared again all over the world.
In the broadcast content projected on the screen, Taiyi stretched out a hand with his palm facing the ground.
A rice plant broke through the soil and quickly matured under Taiyi's palm, growing until the rice ear was touching Taiyi's palm.
Everyone looked at this scene in stunned silence.
Then Taiyi turned his hand over, pulled up the rice by the roots, and held it high above his head.
"I will divide the area into areas suitable for growing various crops. I dare not mention the number of crops. I will ensure that all the people who submit to me will not be hungry, and everyone will have enough to eat and eat well. There will be no problem!"
"Oh oh oh——!"
"Long live His Highness Taiyi!"
"Your Highness Taiyi! Your Highness Taiyi!"
"Idiot! You're still asking His Majesty to come at this hour! Listen to me and shout with me: Long live His Majesty!"
The onlookers were instantly excited.
……
The current situation of Jianye City is quite good.
It can almost be said that people from all over the world have come to join.
However, when Taiyi first distributed projection screens to various parts of the world, only those who were so poor that they had no other way out came to project.
But when Taiyi personally demonstrated his ability to control everything and make rice appear out of thin air and mature for harvest in a short period of time in the second projection, the people who came to cast their votes were not just ordinary people with nowhere to go.
Although Taiyi couldn't remember the names, judging from the shocked look on Bu Lianshi's face when she saw the list, the people on the list should be famous elites from various countries.
When Bao Sanniang rode alone to Jianye City and conveyed to Taiyi the surrender of Liu Bei, the lord of Shu Han, Taiyi was surprised to realize how influential the video he had previously broadcast of growing rice with one hand was.
"...When did the waterfall appear here?" Looking at the clear river outside Jianye City and the waterfall upstream of the river, Bao Sanniang was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.
"We just finished it yesterday." Taiyi explained, "After all, after harvesting the first few crops and getting enough grain seeds, the rest will have to be handed over to farmers in various places to cultivate."
"Otherwise, I have to rely on you to grow anything, so what are farmers for?"
"However, I didn't expect that Liu Bei would hand over the entire Shu Han to me... Are you guys about to be destroyed by the demon army?" Taiyi looked at the letter that Sun Shangxiang was holding in her hand, then turned to look at Bao Sanniang and asked.
"…It hasn't reached that point yet." Bao Sanniang replied with a gloomy face, "But the extent of the casualties has indeed made it difficult for Shu Han to continue."
"Even Prime Minister Zhuge died of his injuries..."
"Wait! What the hell? Zhuge Kongming is gone?" Taiyi was dumbfounded, "Then...what about Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong?"
In the entire Shu Han, Taiyi values Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun the most. If these two people are killed, Shu Han will have almost no appeal to him.
"General Zilong is fine, but he is exhausted and can't fight for the time being."
Chapter 96 Zhang Xingcai: The situation changed too quickly for me to understand
Chacha snuggled in Aichi's arms, her breathing quite calmly.
It has been four days since I came to Jianye City to reunite with my mother.
During these four days, Chacha went from being terrified and unbelievable at the beginning to feeling as if she was in heaven, which shows her mental state.
Aichi finally broke free from his previous escapist mentality.
After all, she is not alone now.
The pitiful eldest daughter returned to her side.
"Tsk, it makes me upset just looking at it." Dong Bai looked at the loving mother and daughter over there with a depressed look on his face, then turned his head to look at Zhang Xingcai beside him, "Iron Wall Girl, it's time for me to go out for some fresh air today, right?"
"It's not time yet." Zhang Xingcai glared at Dong Bai, then looked at Ah Shi and Cha Cha with envy, "You still have half an hour before your free time."
To be honest, when Zhang Xingcai saw A Shi and Cha Cha hugging each other, she began to miss her mother.
"Rigid, ironclad, and boring." Dong Bai rolled his eyes and stomped his feet impatiently.
Zhang Xingcai simply ignored Dong Bai's verbal attacks.
"When will that thief let me go?" Dong Bai asked angrily, "You don't want me to make an exchange with Grandpa, and you don't plan to use me as a tool to relieve your sexual desire. You have been leaving me here idle and even asked you to monitor me. What is your intention?"
"Why, don't you know yet?" Zhang Chunhua, who was also a member of the deceased husband's group, looked at Dong Bai with a smile, "A large number of people under Dong Zhuo's command have begun to defect to Jiangdong."
"Are you kidding?" Dong Bai frowned and glared at Zhang Chunhua fiercely.
"After His Highness Taiyi showed the world his miracle of making crops grow quickly, he had the news of 'Dong Bai is in Jiangdong' spread." Zhang Chunhua's smile grew wider, "It immediately gave Dong Zhuo's subordinates an excuse to switch sides."
"How is it possible..." Dong Bai really wanted to yell at the other party for talking nonsense.
But when he thought of his grandfather's brutal behavior toward his servants, he couldn't help but feel terrified.
I don't even have the confidence to speak.
"By the way, aren't you a subordinate of Cao Mengde? Why do you keep staying here? Ah, have you betrayed Cao Wei?" Dong Bai tried to change the subject.
"Ah, you're so cute when you're eager to change the subject." Zhang Chunhua's smile suddenly turned gloomy. "But you said some things wrong."
"My late husband was in the Cao Wei camp, but I am not. Moreover, my late husband is dead, and there is no connection between me and Cao Wei at all."
"...Huh?" Dong Bai's eyes started spinning.
"Just like my subordinates' subordinates are not my subordinates, my subordinates' families are not my subordinates either." Zhang Chunhua stretched out his finger and pressed Dong Bai's brow to explain, "Well, although I also heard it from the Zhan Guo group, it felt very reasonable, so I used it."
"Simply...nonsense." Zhang Xingcai, who was standing by, felt his head swell. "Should I say that he is indeed a person who has no regard for the monarch, no heart for the country, and treats betrayal as a daily routine?"
"...Hehe." Zhang Chunhua smiled but said nothing when she heard that.
She felt that the degree of bottom-linelessness in this regard was not much different between the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Warring States Period.
There were endless wars among the princes, and their civil and military officials showed their abilities and betrayed their old masters to join new ones. This was a common occurrence in the Three Kingdoms and the Warring States period.
But Dong Zhuo deposed the emperor and established a new emperor, taking control of the government.
Cao Cao even welcomed Emperor Xian and used him as a puppet, using the emperor to control the princes.
In this regard, it is even worse than the Warring States Period. At least in the Warring States Period, no matter how rebellious the big names were, no one dared to touch the small group of people at the top.
"Speaking of which, what happened outside? Why is it so noisy?" Zhang Chunhua turned her head to look outside the door, where the noise was still going on, and stood up to go and find out what was going on.
Not long after, Zhang Chunhua came back with a look of surprise and doubt on her face.
And his eyes kept glancing at Zhang Xingcai.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Zhang Xingcai looked at Zhang Chunhua with dissatisfaction and asked.
"It's just that I heard some incredible news. For a moment, it felt a little... unreal." Zhang Chunhua replied, "Bao Sanniang has returned with a letter from the Kingdom of Shu Han."
"A letter from the emperor?" Zhang Xingcai was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhang Chunhua in surprise, "Did my Han Dynasty sign a contract with New Jiangdong?"
"No." Zhang Chunhua shook her head and explained, "It's a letter of loyalty to the country."
"Shu Han, submit to His Majesty Taiyi."
Zhang Xingcai was stunned, his mouth opened and closed constantly, but he couldn't utter a word.
"Hahaha! How funny! You said before that my grandfather was going to be finished, but it turned out that wasn't your Shu Han the first to be finished?" Dong Bai on the side mocked Zhang Xingcai to the best of his ability.
“…Although the lord is kind, if it is because…His Highness Taiyi has a strong army with high combat effectiveness and can make crops grow so that everyone can have food to eat, then it is not impossible to unite with Jiangdong, but…surrender? Not to mention the lord, my father, Prime Minister Zhuge, and General Zilong are unlikely to agree…” Zhang Xingcai ignored Dong Bai’s sarcasm and just tried his best to sort out his thoughts.
"Zhuge Kongming died on the battlefield not long ago due to serious injuries." Zhang Chunhua looked at Zhang Xingcai and continued to explain, "As for your father Zhang Yide, I heard that he led part of the army to cover the retreat, but he never returned, and his life or death is unknown."
The expression on Zhang Xingcai's face froze.
My hands are shaking.
"Father, his whereabouts are unknown... Prime Minister, passed away due to illness..." Zhang Xingcai's hesitation was visibly visible to the naked eye.
The two people who were most likely to oppose the King of Hanzhong's surrender were not around. In addition, with General Guan returning to the King of Hanzhong, the news of the death of the young master Liu Chan would probably reach the King of Hanzhong's ears. No wonder he would formally write a letter to the country.
Zhang Xingcai tried her best to stay calm.
……
"Eh - everything was fine, how come Zhuge Liang is gone just like that?" Looking at the contents of the letter in his hand, Taiyi couldn't help but sigh and mutter again.
As for the selection of talents for governing state affairs, Taiyi hopes that Zhuge Liang will take the lead in the future.
After all, the people in Jiangdong are unstable at the moment, and those who survived and are still smart are fighting among themselves.
External investors have all kinds of skills, but there is hardly any talent that people can feel comfortable handing over to.
Most of them were people he couldn't even remember their names or had never even heard of.
Taiyi's gaze gradually began to turn to the backyard.
How about letting Zhang Chunhua try?
Anyway, she has no external support now and has formally pledged allegiance to me, so give her a chance and try.
Chapter 97: Isn't it a common practice to stuff women into the emperor's harem?
Within a week, Taiyi had successfully planted various crops on all the land designated as "agricultural areas" in Jiangdong.
Rice, wheat, vegetables, fruits, etc.
During this period, Liu Bei also led his troops to Jianye City.
Also traveling with him were Tokugawa Ieyasu and his entourage.
Although he was one step slower than Bao Sanniang, after Bao Sanniang handed over the letter from Shu Han to Taiyi, Tokugawa Ieyasu also sent someone to deliver Tokugawa Ling's letter of allegiance.
In addition, in the following period, some Warring States daimyos also swore allegiance to Taiyi.
Apart from the Cao Wei forces in the Three Kingdoms, there is still no news about them. The only ones who have not yet surrendered to Taichi are Mori and Oda.
But in terms of territory, three-fifths of the world has already belonged to Taiyi's new country.
After witnessing with his own eyes how Taiyi brought the dry earth back to life with just a flick of his fingers, with farmlands filling his vision, Liu Bei was convinced and even revealed the part of Shu Han's foundation that he had previously concealed.
Afterwards, he took the initiative to resign and returned to civilian status.
But Taiyi would never agree to that.
Although Liu Bei's performance in domestic affairs was not outstanding because of Zhuge Liang, this uncle Liu who had become the King of Hanzhong was indeed an expert in domestic affairs.
In the absence of trustworthy talents, Taiyi was unwilling to let him return home.
He might as well just prepare to set up a cabinet, and after he officially becomes emperor, he would let Liu Bei and Zhang Chunhua, who had shown her talents during this week, join the cabinet together.
Just after Taiyi expressed this intention to everyone, Guan Yu took the initiative to suggest that his daughter Guan Yinping enter Taiyi's back room.
Guan Yu is serious about establishing a good relationship with Taiyi.
Although the goal now is not to win over Taiyi but to submit to Taiyi, it is the best choice to let Guan Yinping enter Taiyi's back room as a matchmaker between the Shu Han power group and Taiyi.
After all, Liu Bei's daughter was not involved in this world.
The only thing Shu Han could show off at the moment was Guan Yu's daughter.
Although Zhang Xingcai is also an option, the problem is that Zhang Fei's life or death is still unknown. As his uncles, they cannot make decisions on their daughter's marriage without confirming Zhang Fei's whereabouts.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was no joke. When he first heard about marrying off his daughter, he felt a little headache.
After all, the Tokugawa family had suffered severe damage, and he didn't even know how many of his daughters were still alive.
