"These people didn’t listen to and insisted on going to Jingchuan Prefecture. They had barely left Mingjiang Prefecture when they were ambushed..."
He spoke fervently, and the main brain cooperated by projecting images from his Secret Realm onto the white walls of the station, just like an open-air movie.
The sly faces of the wealthy people from Mingjiang Prefecture were displayed on the wall, causing a stir among the crowd.
The people were displeased at being called "low-lives" by these wealthy individuals and cursed continuously. However, after the Eagle Slaves boarded the train and cruelly massacred the wealthy people, everyone cowered back.
The common folk no longer had the heart to curse those wealthy individuals and instead felt a deep sense of fear. If they hadn’t listened to Zhou Xuan and had boarded that train, they would be the ones being pecked by eagles and murdered by mountain bandits.
"It’s fortunate we didn’t board the train. We thought it would be our escape to freedom, but it turned out..."
"It turned out to be a train to doom."
"I’m not going to Jingchuan Prefecture anymore... I’m not going anywhere... I’ll stay honestly here in Mingjiang Prefecture."
"Even if I starve to death in Mingjiang Prefecture, at least I’d die with dignity—going outside is just hopeless."
With these cautionary tales, the idea of "escaping disasters" no longer tempted the common folk. "Better die than leave ho" beca their prevailing notion.
"Great Master, you said you will rebuild Mingjiang Prefecture, just tell us what needs to be done, what needs to be prepared, and we’ll comply to protect our ho."
"Whatever needs to be done, just order us. Many have died in our city, but many have survived... Everyone contributes their strength, and we’ll rebuild our grand ho."
"Being a dog outside isn’t as good as being a person at ho—Young Master, we will all follow your lead!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan waved his hand and said, "The process of rebuilding Mingjiang Prefecture won’t be slow... We’ll race against the clock. Today, please return to your hos."
"My ho... My ho has burned down to ashes, where is my ho?"
Zhou Xuan continued, "What I an is, for now, return to your forr hos. If you can recover the bodies of your family mbers, bury them today, and rummage through the ruins to see if there’s anything usable—even if it’s just a small table plank—find them and pool them together for proper arrangents.
Let’s first tidy up these dilapidated conditions, organize what needs to be organized, and after we’re done, tomorrow, we’ll wholeheartedly rebuild Mingjiang Prefecture—you still have to look forward in life."
Zhou Xuan continued, pressing heavily with his hand, "As for food and drink, don’t worry, I’ll wait here at the platform. If the grain from Ping Shui Prefecture doesn’t arrive, I won’t leave."
"Great Master, we’re not worried about food and drink, but how do we sleep at night?"
Mingjiang Prefecture was already in late autumn. The temperature was tolerable during the day, but at night, without cotton quilts or blankets, those with weaker constitutions might not make it to the next sunrise.
Food, drink, shelter, and transportation—food and shelter are always the most important matters.
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Tonight, there won’t be a temperature drop in Mingjiang Prefecture; trust . In short, our motto is—facing a great disaster, not a single person from Mingjiang Prefecture will be left behind!"
Wow!
The onlooking populace naturally burst into applause.
When disaster struck, they were terrified and fled. After the disaster ended, they were even more terrified because they knew—Mingjiang Prefecture had no food or shelter. Though they considered relying on the governnt people, those high officials never handled much practical work. In such critical tis, they were even less likely to care for these small-folk.
But Zhou Xuan’s words of "not a single person to be left behind" surged warmly into their hearts.
"Rember my words: not a single person will be left behind. And let state the ugly truth: in the days to co, keep practicing civility as usual, maintain law and order, follow regulations as usual, maintain the rule of law and discipline,
keep an eye on anyone who wants to stir up trouble or bully others..."
Zhou Xuan waved again. The painter cooperated by lifting the bodies of the Eagle Slaves, smashing them to pieces.
"This is the consequence!"
Zhou Xuan added, "These murderous mountain bandits in Jingchuan Prefecture’s territory, killing our Mingjiang Prefecture people—I dared to execute them, let alone those with other motives and treachery in Mingjiang Prefecture. Once I catch hold of your weakness... you’ll be sorry—so, eting adjourned, each of you go ho—tidy up, organize, wait for the grain to be delivered, and for your nightti sleeping places to be arranged."
Wow, wow, another round of enthusiastic applause.
The painter then instructed Bone Elder to hang the remaining bodies of the Eagle Slaves in different parts of the city as a warning.
"These dead bodies sotis are more useful than the living ones."
The painter whispered.
"Old Hua, I’ll trouble you next... Lead all the people from the God Traveling Departnt to escort the grain from Ping Shui Prefecture."
Zhou Xuan said.
Those grains were life-saving grains. Zhou Xuan already learned from Pan Mountain Eagle that many out-of-town Tangkou were looking to take advantage of the chaos in Mingjiang Prefecture—grain was of utmost importance; grain was the stabilizer for Mingjiang Prefecture now.
If the grain doesn’t reach the Prefecture, all the heartwarming speeches are useless.
"Understood, if soone dares to seize the grain, I, as a painter, won’t be talking about continuing as a Divine Office; I’ll directly jump into Mingjiang."
The painter expressed his stance and then sent out a secret letter, initiating Space Law to rush to guard the life-saving grain being sent from Ping Shui Prefecture to Mingjiang Prefecture by train.
