Chapter 148 The Son is a Villain 17

Chao Yao poked Wanqi Xiao's forehead and said with a helpless smile: "Don't worry about this matter, leave it to mother, I can help you get it done tonight."

Her son's career has just begun, so as a mother, she must support him.

Chao Yao called the maid and handed her over the matters at hand. Then he got the hair and blood from Chen Xuan and others, and then set off for the imperial city.

Through the secret technique of blood relationship, Chao Yao found the nine clans of all of them. In order to speed up the process, she gathered everyone together, said nothing, and knocked them unconscious and put them directly into the space.

Then she would move their homes one by one. If it were possible to dig up the houses, she would have taken them away as well.

Before sunset, Chao Yao rushed back.

He found an open space and released everyone, then notified Wanqi Xiao to bring Chen Xuan over.

Chen Xuan and others had just finished dinner. When they heard Wanqi Xiao say that the family had gathered, they were still a little bit unbelieving.

When we finally arrived at the place where Chao Yao released the people, we felt relieved only after confirming everything one by one.

Chao Yao didn't care about how they would discuss next. He believed that Wanqi Xiao would handle these things.

She still has a lot of things to do, so she doesn't need to worry about these things.

Wanqi Xiao's negotiation ability is indeed extraordinary. Among these people, there are indeed some who do not want to come to Huangwu County. They are also people of status in the imperial city. Apart from anything else, the profits brought by the industry are enough to make everyone jealous.

But coming here, everything has to start all over again, not to mention that I am a rebel, so I don’t want to stay.

Then he thought of how everyone was brought here quietly, and he felt a little scared.

They consulted with each other.

"The Imperial City is thousands of kilometers away from here, but Princess Eighteen was able to go back and forth on the same day, and she was able to take all of us away without making a sound. Do you dare to say a word of resistance to her?"

"It seems that not only is the identity of the emperor's grandson mysterious, but the identity of the princess is equally shocking!"

"What a pity for the Eighteenth Prince. If he were still alive today, he would have enjoyed endless happiness."

"So do you want to stay or not?"

Chen Xuan didn't want to listen to these people's nonsense anymore. Did they have any choice?

"I'm telling you this directly. Yesterday, I led 200,000 elite soldiers, but now there are only tens of thousands left. If we return to the imperial city, our entire family will die, and the extermination of our entire clan is a foregone conclusion. Your desire for wealth and glory is simply impossible. Without a life, how can you enjoy it?"

Chen Xuan's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart heavily.

They also knew that their family's status was precarious, but they still held out a glimmer of hope.

"Just now I also heard the emperor's grandson and the princess say that all your belongings have been brought here. If that's the case, what else is there for you to return to in the imperial city?"

Chen Xuan's words made everyone silent. They really had no reason to return to the imperial city.

Seeing everyone hesitant, Chen Xuan continued to persuade:

"I know you are worried that you won't be able to live your previous life here, but you have also seen that the princess's ability is far beyond our imagination. She can reunite our family, and I believe she can also let us live a better life here. Moreover, the emperor's grandson is also an ambitious and capable leader. Following him, I believe our future will be brighter."

Although the words sound high-sounding, this is the only way to say it.

Others had no choice but to agree and expressed their willingness to stay.

Seeing that everyone had made a decision, Chen Xuan went to report to Wanqi Xiao and informed everyone of the result.

This result was within Wanqi Xiao's expectations. What could they do even if they disagreed?

Now that everyone is on Huang Wuxian’s territory, they have no time to think about anything else.

The reason I asked this question was just out of respect, to make them willing.

Wanqi Xiao came in front of everyone and said with a faint smile:

"Since you have decided to stay, I will arrange accommodation for you. But before that, I hope you can join my army and create this new world with me."

Chen Xuan and others naturally agreed. They had no way out and the only way out was to follow Wanqi Xiao.

So, in the next few days, Wanqi Xiao dispersed General Chen Xuan and others into his own army, and brought all the tens of thousands of elite soldiers left over from the previous war and those who had surrendered before under his command.

People like Chen Xuan who have a certain official rank have families, but the families of other soldiers in the army cannot come.

Such things would also make them unable to stay here with peace of mind, so Wanqi Xiao finally agreed with Chao Yao to rebuild the military camp and at the same time, bring the families of these soldiers over.

If the family members are willing to come, they will be brought over. If they are unwilling to come, the situation will be explained to the soldiers.

It took Chao Yao a month to bring everyone's family to Huangwu County.

The original military garrison was expanded again under the command of Wanqi Xiao and became their base camp.

Now that Wanqi Xiao's army has reached more than 200,000 people, he decided to focus on the construction of Huangwu County.

This is his base camp and will be used as the new imperial city in the future.

Huangwu County is vast and sparsely populated, and there are still large tracts of land that are not being used.

Chao Yao believes that land is the foundation of farmers, and many soldiers' families come from rural areas.

If they are just placed in the family building every day, they will have nothing to do and feel anxious.

So in the end, after discussing with Wanqi Xiao, she decided to allocate land to family members who intended to relocate, and at the same time, build schools and clinics in places where people were concentrated.

Because they have abundant resources, both schools and clinics have some free quotas.

For example, the arrangements for military families are as free as possible or completely free.

All children in Huangwu County, regardless of gender, must go to school.

They need to learn literacy, arithmetic, martial arts, etc., and every citizen is a soldier and can be used on the battlefield at any time.

The same goes for others, always ready for battle, training in their free time and working in the fields during the busy farming season.

It took two years for Wanqi Xiao to finally stabilize the rear.

After stabilizing the rear, Wanqi Xiao began to expand outward.

Other places had already fallen into the chaos of war, but Huangwu County alone was like a paradise.

Wanqi Xiao began to send troops to capture the surrounding counties and towns and incorporate these places into his own territory.

During the expansion process, Wanqi Xiao paid great attention to the training and management of the army.

He organized military exercises regularly to improve the army's combat effectiveness and discipline.

At the same time, he also implemented the military settlement system, allowing the army to reclaim wasteland and develop agriculture in the places where they were stationed to achieve self-sufficiency.

In this way, Wanqi Xiao's army is not only a powerful fighting force, but also an important force that can contribute to the local economy.

After expanding in the surrounding areas, Wanqi Xiao prepared to stop for a while, first build the places included in his territory, and then take the next step steadily.

At this time, Chao Yao made a suggestion to him that they could capture other places in advance.
