Capítulo 1307: Chapter 11: Undermining the Foundation, Another Encounter with Jia Jue
Magi had always dread of one day owning a house in the city that was entirely hers.
She just never expected that day to co so quickly, so suddenly.
After the upheaval that day, the Da Lan Dynasty swiftly dispatched people to take over Kuha City.
The order within the city was reestablished.
Soon after, the Da Lan Dynasty governnt made an unexpected announcent:
Every household in the city could directly receive a house!
Propaganda from the Temple and the Royal Court painted the Da Lan Dynasty as being evil and ferocious, ten tis more terrifying than the wild wolves of the grasslands.
But after Kuha City was occupied, the Da Lan Dynasty neither indiscriminately killed people nor plundered at will. Instead, they handed out houses to every household for free?
It was truly hard to see how such an enemy could be evil….
Following this, the Da Lan Dynasty conducted a large-scale test within Kuha City to assess which of the youth had talent in Martial Arts or Magic cultivation.
Of course, the Grassland also conducted such tests, but due to limited resources, having talent did not guarantee one’s developnt into a Martial Artist.
Thus, the Grassland Royal Court would not test everyone, but would prioritize the children of the powerful, followed by the middle and lower classes.
Now, within Kuha City, many eligible youth actually had talent but had never been given a chance.
Now, the Da Lan Dynasty provided them with an opportunity.
For those identified with cultivation talent, the Da Lan Dynasty offered two choices:
First, remain in Kuha City and receive a larger house.
Second, beco citizens of the Da Lan and relocate within its borders, where they could receive subsidies for cultivation resources and dedicated guidance.
Magi’s son, Sangji, although only sixteen years old this year, participated in this test because his physical developnt was relatively mature.
It was said that his results were very good!
Her son Sangji wanted to go to the Da Lan Dynasty, but Magi was reluctant to leave.
When the powerful left the city, they took most of the grain with them, and what they couldn’t take was destroyed.
Thus, the remaining grain in the city was not abundant.
But as the Da Lan Dynasty took over Kuha City, cartloads of grain were also brought in!
All Grassland people needed to do was learn the Central Plains language, manage to say a few phrases, and write a few characters to receive free grain.
With a free big house to live in and free grain to collect,
life felt like paradise to Magi, who had worked hard for so many years!
So, she was not inclined to leave.
“Hello…..I am…Magi….”
On her way ho, Magi kept repeating the Central Plains language she had learned in recent days.
What she had learned would be frequently tested, and if she forgot what she had previously learned, she wouldn’t be able to collect grain that day.
In order to collect more grain, Magi studied the Central Plains language very diligently!
“Beep——”
The sound of a car horn ca from behind her.
Magi turned around to see a convoy of a dozen black cars driving on the street.
She stopped and stared wide-eyed at the convoy.
The Grassland lacked much of the Western Continent’s technology, and things like cars weren’t common in Kuha City either.
It was Magi’s first ti seeing such an impressive convoy.
As the convoy passed by her, in the leading car, the Eastern Territory Admiral, Ye Jingfu, was sitting in the back seat.
This Admiral had quietly left the Eastern Border Defense Line, ventured deep into the Grassland, and arrived in Kuha City.
If Li Fei hadn’t trapped the Grassland’s strong warriors in Mingdu City, and the two remaining great cities hadn’t remained closed, Ye Jingfu wouldn’t have dared to take such a risk.
He ca to Kuha City to see the Grassland people here with his own eyes and to gauge their attitude towards the Da Lan Dynasty.
Now that the Southern Border war had stabilized, the Da Lan Dynasty could allocate more troops and strong warriors to support the Eastern Territory.
The Marquis Jing’an was still camped outside their Royal City, so naturally, the Da Lan Dynasty’s next focus had to be on the Grassland.
A series of plans targeting the Grassland had already been drafted by the current Grand Secretary, Ye Ze’an.
Handing out houses and distributing grain to the Grassland people in the six great cities, having them learn the Central Plains language, and assessing their talents were all initiatives by the Grand Secretary.
Ye Jingfu was actually also from the Ye Family but had branched out and set up his own house long ago.
If he, the Eastern Territory Admiral, a Dao Establishnt Grandmaster, had remained within the Ye Family,
the Xiao Family among the Ten Gate Valves wouldn’t be so confident in claiming to be first among the Gate Valves.
However, if Ye Jingfu still identified himself with the Ye Family, Emperor Hong Guang might not have been comfortable appointing him as the Eastern Territory Admiral to command the military power of the Eastern Territory.
Ye Jingfu was aware of Ye Ze’an’s series of plans for the Grassland as well.
This ti, he ca to Kuha City in person to gather more information to better advise and adjust Ye Ze’an’s plans.
Although he had parted ways with the Ye Family and established his own house, he greatly admired Ye Ze’an, a junior from the family.
For both public and private reasons, he hoped Ye Ze’an’s plans would succeed.
The convoy soon arrived outside a mansion.
This was forrly the City Lord Mansion of Kuha City, now it served as the Da Lan Dynasty governnt’s office area.
Ye Jingfu entered the City Lord Mansion, and as soon as he sat down, the city officials ca in one by one to report:
“…..The day before yesterday, one of our supply teams bringing grain to Kuha City was intercepted by the cavalry of the Hali tribe.”
“We have currently organized a team to track them down. Once we confirm the location of the Hali tribe’s cavalry, we can send forces to eliminate them!”
“In the past three days, 2,723 Grassland people have co to Kuha City from outside. We conducted an initial screening and identified fifteen spies…..”
