Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Song Yubai was not surprised to see Guo Jia. After all, Guo Jia would definitely know that the Red Lotus soldiers were gathered.
“Yes, Mr. Guo.”
Song Yubai wore a stern expression, confirming the situation. Furthermore, he gestured toward the doorway of light within the restaurant.
“In that case, take this with you.”
When Guo Jia heard Song Yubai’s answer and saw the door of light, he knew that Mei Changge had indeed summoned Song Yubai. He took out a letter and handed it to Song Yubai.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Guo.”
Song Yubai took the letter from Guo Jia and led 6,000 Red Lotus soldiers into the door of light.
Guo Jia, on the other hand, had a thoughtful expression as he looked at the door of light. He did not know what Mei Changge had encountered in the level-two stargate and had to summon Song Yubai.
As Song Yubai and the soldiers disappeared into the door of light, Guo Jia ordered his men to disperse the crowd and return to the Green Cloud Pavilion. At that moment, in the Green Cloud Pavilion, Zhao Decai, Xu Changqing, and the others were gathered.
“Mr. Guo, have you passed the letter to the lord?”
Xu Changqing asked with a smile.
“Yes, the name of the new city and the questions Hu Hua raised are written on the letter.”
Guo Jia nodded gently and took out the White Jade Lotus Wine to pour himself a glass.
Immediately, the fragrance of the wine spread throughout the room.
“Mr. Guo, did you call us here just to watch you drink? That’s not very nice.”
Xu Changqing looked at Guo Jia and glared at him. He did not pour a glass for the people present.
“It’s not like you don’t have it. My salary is not enough to afford drinks for everyone.”
Guo Jia glanced at them and couldn’t resist rolling his eyes. The White Jade Lotus Wine served as their salary, and he had a fondness for wine to boot. If they expected to get a sip of it from Guo Jia, they were likely daydreaming.
“I called you here this time because of the two new cities.”
As soon as Guo Jia finished speaking, they looked at him.
“The lord decides the name of the new city, but the internal layout requires planning. Additionally, there’s the matter of inaugurating the city.”
Guo Jia’s tone grew solemn. He had made preparations for the city’s inauguration but had never actually carried it out. Nevertheless, he recognized that he could no longer delay this step. Opening the city was now unavoidable.
To breathe life into the city and spur its revival, he needed to permit the citizens to enter Desolate Forest.
“The lord has made a decision on this matter, but we currently face two problems.”
As Guo Jia spoke, he extended two fingers and looked at everyone.
“Firstly, it’s about the distribution of population. Secondly, it’s about the development of cities near the Forest race.”
After Guo Jia concluded his statement, he gazed at them as if seeking their opinions on the matter.
“Mr. Guo, my Creation Workshop will certainly relocate to the city near the Forest race.”
When Zhao Decai heard Guo Jia’s words, he replied without thinking.
After all, there were two mineral veins near that city. It was more convenient for the Creation Workshop.
The city had just begun construction and it would probably take another month or so to complete.
“Regarding the population distribution, do you have any suggestions, Elder
When Guo Jia heard Zhao Decai’s words, he nodded in agreement. Moreover, as Zhao Decai had said, the city there was suitable for the Creation Workshop.
Be it forging Green Bricks or other items, the Creation Workshop was quite important.
“In terms of population distribution, I propose prioritizing the relocation of the elderly like the residents of Green Cloud City. As for those who arrived more recently, they can wait their turn.”
Xu Changqing thought for a moment and said to Guo Jia.
Now that he had the Green Lotus Registry, it was easy for him to manage the population.
“Mr. Guo, I think we can recruit miners to join that city, and we’ll be in charge.” Hu Hua, who had been silent, said with a calm expression.
During this period, he not only enhanced his knowledge about Green Cloud City and Green Lotus City but also acquired a substantial understanding of the businesses in both cities.
Although it had only been a short period of time, he had grown a lot.
“Tell me in detail.”
Guo Jia smiled and asked Hu Hua, who had a calm expression.
Hu Hua had changed the most among them. Not only had he lost weight but the smile on his face had also been replaced by calmness.
“Since there’s a mineral vein in that city, I think we can mobilize the people in the city to mine it!”
Hu Hua said to everyone with a thoughtful look.
Xu Changqing shook his head slightly. He did not feel good about this.
“We won’t be coercing them into mining. Instead, we should provide them with an income, perhaps 10,000 Myriad Lotus Coins. We could even offer them discounts when purchasing real estate in the new city.”
Hu Hua’s eyes flickered as he said to them.
“That is…”
Xu Changqing was shocked. He did not expect Hu Hua to think of such a method.
“In fact, I only thought of this when I saw the factory that Mr. Guo and Elder Zhao were researching.”
Hu Hua smiled and said to them.
“Recruitment?”
Guo Jia pondered for a moment before realizing that it was indeed a way to divide the population.
The Myriad Lotus Coins were already in circulation within the city, and many commoners held a keen interest in them. However, due to the city not being operational yet, there were limited opportunities to acquire them.
“Furthermore, Green Lotus City is on the verge of opening. When that happens, business is bound to flourish. Add to that the influx of city dwellers, and I’m confident that several cities will emerge as entirely fresh opportunities.” After Hu Hua finished speaking, he looked at them quietly.
“I agree with Hu Hua. After all, mining is a form of employment that can offer some commoners the chance to glimpse the possibility of prosperity.”
Zhao Decai nodded in agreement and voiced his thoughts. Nevertheless, his primary concern was ensuring that someone else didn’t lay claim to the mineral vein, thereby preventing the members of his Creation Workshop from mining it. This would unquestionably spare them significant difficulties.
“Furthermore, when it comes to purchasing real estate, you can extend a specific discount to those engaged in mining activities. My Myriad Lotus Building will oversee this initiative.”
Hu Hua had a smile on his face. With regards to real estate, the Myriad Lotus Building could step in to assist.
The new city was an emerging treasure trove, with opportunities unfolding at every turn. As the business department of the Green Lotus Territory, it was their duty to carefully deliberate on these matters.
“If that’s the case, I think it’s good.”
Xu Changqing thought about Hu Hua’s words and realized he was not forcing the commoners to mine for benefits. Instead, he was using real estate as a bait. It was indeed a great idea.
“Since you all concur, Hu Hua will draft a plan later, and we’ll await the lord’s return to make a final decision.
Guo Jia displayed a contented expression. He was pleased with Hu Hua’s development and could safely say that Hu Hua had firmly established his foothold within the Green Lotus Territory.
“Okay, Mr. Guo.”
He nodded in agreement.
As they discussed matters regarding the new city..
In the level-two stargate, a door of light appeared in an empty space behind the Guo Residence.
Under Song Yubai’s lead, 6,000 Red Lotus soldiers appeared one after another.
“Greetings, my lord!”
Song Yubai bowed to Mei Changge with excitement on his face.
His loud voice immediately resounded in the empty space.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Yue Fei and Guo Jing had been reaching out to their connections, preparing for Mei Changge’s directives. When they heard a voice emanating from behind the Guo Residence, they swiftly moved toward it.
“Rise. ”
Mei Changge looked at the Red Lotus soldiers and Song Yubai with a satisfied expression.
Although the Red Lotus Soldier Pool was only Grade 8, the strength of the soldiers had advanced to the Innate realm.
It was especially so for Song Yubai, who was close to Innate Level 8. However, if he wanted to advance again, he would have to wait until the soldier pool reached Grade 6.
“MV lord!”
At that moment, two figures appeared. When they saw the Red Lotus soldiers, they had vigilant expressions.
Yue Fei and Guo Jing did not expect such an army to quietly appear behind the Guo Residence. Moreover, they looked like they were all in the Innate realm. “Don’t worry. Yubai is a soldier of the Green Lotus Territory like Zhong Kang.”
Mei Changge saw the vigilant expressions on Yue Fei’s and Guo Jing’s faces and could not help but smile.
“I see.”
Guo Jing breathed a sigh of relief. He had been puzzled about the sudden presence of a multitude of individuals behind the Guo Residence, never imagining it was due to his lord’s arrival.
“Yubai, they are Guo Jing and Yue Fei. They have joined our Green Lotus Territory.”
“I’ve summoned your troops this time to collaborate with Xu Chu and conquer this world.”
Mei Changge pointed at Yue Fei and Guo Jing and told Song Yubai. Then, he explained to Yue Fei and Guo Jing who Song Yubai was.
“Greetings, General Song!”
Yue Fei and Guo Jing greeted Song Yubai with solemn expressions. They were newcomers, while Song Yubai was a general serving under Mei Changge. Despite Song Yubai’s youthful appearance, they still accorded him their respect.
“Please. There’s no need for this.
When Song Yubai saw their actions, he waved his hand, indicating that they did not have to be so polite.
“Alright, let’s talk inside.”
Mei Changge nodded and gestured for Song Yubai to follow him into the Guo
Residence.
The group returned to the reception hall in the Guo Residence.
“Yubai, I called you over this time to speed up the conquest of this world. When the time comes, you will have to work with Zhong Kang.”
Mei Changge, who was sitting at the head of the table, said to Song Yubai.
With 5,000 Golden Crow Guards, 6,000 Red Lotus soldiers, and an additional 10,000 troops, conquering a Great Song that lacked a royal family would likely pose no significant challenge.
After all, the Great Song was a dynasty that valued literature over martial arts. Some soldiers might not be as strong as martial artists.
Mei Changge had called the Red Lotus soldiers over mainly to intimidate those martial artists.
“My lord, I understand.”
Song Yubai had a serious expression. He also learned some information about this world from Mei Changge, such as the Great Song and martial artists..
