As soon as it was dawn the next day, the early risers of Tekken Castle were lined with red banners and slogans on the walls. Bands of soldiers blew bagpipes, beat drums, and walked through the streets and alleys with neat steps.

"What's going on? Is there something big about Ironfist Castle?"

"No, His Majesty's coronation and wedding celebrations were not so fanfare!"

"Did we drive away the invaders?"

People in twos and threes got together.

"What's written on that?"

A literate resident reads the text on the banner and says, "Well, it reads: Buy bonds, benefit the country and the people!"

"This one reads: state bonds, national creditworthiness, high returns, and benefits to the people!"

"Well, it says: Don't let the invaders take away our land and property!"

"It is written over there: for every treasury bond purchased for one gold coin, it is equivalent to shooting a hundred arrows at the enemy!"

"There is money over there, there is money, strength, unity, and defense of the country!"

"Oh my God, how can there be so many?"

"Can I tear these banners off and make diapers for my kids?"

"Don't be stupid! You'll be thrown into prison by the soldiers! If you want to go to the northern border, just tear it up!"

"Mrs. Smith, if you go to the northern border, I dare say that the soldiers on the border will welcome you very much!

"you!" said Mrs. Smith, with her hands on her hips, glaring at the man who was joking with her.

"Hey, what are the national debt? It's said that there is a high return......

"It should be the meaning of the state asking us to borrow money!"

"Isn't there any money in the country? His Majesty should be the richest man in the world, right?"

"Look at it like this, Erathia is about to fight a big battle! His Majesty the King and Prince Regent should be busy preparing for the war!"

"Erathia has two legions of 100,000 troops of Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine and Bastard Kendall, isn't it enough to stop Fiona's demon army?"

"Do you think Kendall is really willing to fight alongside Princess Catherine? I think it's best not to count on Kendall, only Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine will really fight the enemy!"

"Oh my God, is Erathia really going to be finished?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Erathia has never been conquered in history! Isn't it written on the slogan, His Majesty asks all of us to contribute with money, and to contribute strongly! Everyone should unite, because this is not only to defend our country, but also to protect ourselves!"

"Isn't this the result that His Majesty the King and His Royal Highness the Prince Regent are trying to cheat us all out of their money?"

"Kendall has already robbed us of a lot of gold, does his daughter want to plunder our wealth in another way?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"I don't think His Majesty King Saiya is such a person! We should have faith in our country, in our king!"

"Whether she is worthy of everyone's trust or not, I dare say that even the gods in heaven are not necessarily sure!"

"Let's go home and keep a good look at your purse! Don't let the robbers and thieves take it away!"

Everyone talked to each other and dispersed.

This morning, there seemed to be a lot less people on the streets than usual.

The square in front of the Houses of Parliament has been divided into several sections. One area is the stage for the drama carefully prepared by Cuthbert, the other area is the wrestling performance of elite soldiers, and the other is the area for filling in the application of treasury bonds. In another corner, hundreds of people are busy for a free lunch at noon.

Alone stood in the square dozens of propagandists with thick leaflets in their arms. Gabriel, Lucifer, Rensa, and Jasmine are among them.

In the huge square, there were not a few residents of the Iron Fist Castle in sight, only a few homeless people who had just woken up in a sheltered corner.

There are not many people, who do they show their leaflets?

"Where have all the people gone?" Gu Shiyu and King Saiya also appeared on the steps of the Capitol. When he saw the scene in front of him, he immediately muttered in his heart.

Embarrassed, Cuthbert ran to him to report.

It seems that the inhabitants are not interested in the national debt they are making at all!

King Saiya's face also looked very embarrassed.

With such fanfare, and the scene is so miserable, is it going to end hastily?

Then what face do I have?!" Gu Shiyu thought nervously.

No, I can't throw in the towel!

He paced back and forth on the steps of the Capitol and immediately came up with an idea.

It is said that Michael Jordan lived in the slums as a child, and his father asked him to sell used clothes, which cost at least five dollars a piece...... Can a torn dress sell for so much money? But Jordan can! He drew a cartoon image on a piece of clothing, and then went to the door of an aristocratic school, and in the end he was really bought by a loser! An old dress signed by a celebrity was actually sold by him for several hundred dollars! So he came to a conclusion: As long as you are willing to use your brain, there will always be a way!

What should I do? print a scantily clad or even unclothed glamorous girl on the back of the bond?

This is probably not a good idea, at least housewives will never allow their husbands to buy such things! What if he refuses to work and looks at the beautiful women behind the bonds every day?

I should come up with a typical example that I can successfully learn from!

Think hard......

Alas, it doesn't seem to work!

I can't help it, just keep thinking about it......

Just when Gu Shiyu's head was about to explode, he finally slapped his thigh and shouted happily: "Yes, just use it!

"Have you come up with a good idea?" said Seya and Cuthbert expectantly.

"Yes, it will work!"

Gu Shiyu really wanted to tell them the story of Shang Ying's change. But can you tell them clearly? If they ask Shang Ying what era and country he is, and what is his relationship with themselves, then I am afraid they will have to prepare a hundred mouths!

"Get me a log and put it up in the square!"

"How big a log do you want?" asked Cuthbert.

"A strong man can carry it!"

What do you want a piece of wood for?" the guards muttered to themselves, will this wood help you sell bonds?

"Didn't you hear what His Royal Highness just said?" said Cuthbert at the guards. Although he himself was very skeptical that a piece of rotten wood could make much of a difference, at this moment...... Hey, a dead horse should be a live horse doctor!

There was one inside the wooden castle, and the guards immediately carried one and erected it in the square.

"At once, tell the people who distribute the leaflets through the streets of Tekken Castle, and tell everyone they come across that if anyone can carry this log outside the city, His Majesty will give him a bounty of a thousand gold coins!"

Guzi, are you stupid? Spend a thousand gold coins to ask someone to carry this log outside the city, most of the men in the Iron Fist Castle can do it! But Cuthbert didn't dare to ask more, and immediately ran to the square and beat out the people who distributed the leaflets.

When he ran back to Gu Shiyu's side, he had already figured it out! He looked at Gu Shiyu with admiration, and really wanted to bow down to him.

Saiya also swept away the gloom, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Oh my God, if you carry a piece of wood outside the city, you can get a thousand gold coins from His Majesty?"

"Is it true?"

The Iron Fist Castle was boiling! Men and women, young and old, all came to the square one after another.

The log is at least three meters long. The early morning sun shone on it, casting a long shadow over the crowd.

"As I said, if anyone can carry this log outside the city, he will receive a thousand gold coins from His Majesty!"

A few strong men slowly squeezed out of the front of the crowd. They looked at the logs and were eager to try, but they didn't dare to move forward.

Gu Shiyu sighed secretly. Could it be that in such a big Iron Fist Castle, there is no one who dares to eat crabs?

"Please believe that every word spoken by His Majesty the King and I counts!" Gu Shiyu said loudly to the crowd.

"Let me come!" a strong man pushed away the crowd standing in front of him and strode into the circle.

"Smith, come back to me!" Mrs. Smith followed, "If you carry this log, they will send you to the Great Wall of the North, where you need to be armed!"

Is there such a thing? Smith glanced at Gu Shiyu hesitantly.

"Come home with me!" said Mrs. Smith, weepingly, "even if you don't want me, you have to have your children!

"I believe in His Majesty the King!" From Gu Shiyu's eyes, Smith saw sincerity. He bent down and let out a loud cry, the long log already being lifted by him.

"Oh my God, what should I do?" said Mrs. Smith, who collapsed to the ground.

But no one paid attention to her, and the people were waiting to see what was going on! Mrs. Smith wept a few times, and when she saw that no one was paying attention to her, she had to wipe away her tears and snot and stand up, and trot behind the crowd.

"Okay!" Gu Shiyu looked at Cuthbert and smiled: "You go and prepare well, I'm sure you won't be busy later!"

Tens of thousands of people followed Smith, who was carrying a log on his shoulder, to the outside of the city. I saw him throw down the log with a clatter, and then strode towards the city.

The people automatically spread out on either side, leaving Smith at the head of the line.

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness Prince Regent, I have carried that log out of the city!" said Smith, standing in the square, wiping his sweat.

"Okay!" Gu Shiyu took the lead in applauding: "Please come forward, His Majesty the King will personally reward you with a thousand gold coins!"

The crowd erupted in sparse applause. Smith walked up the steps and got down on one knee in front of Seya.

"What's your name, my warrior?" asked Seiya.

"My name is Will, Smith, Your Majesty!"

Saiya nodded, and said loudly to the people, "This warrior in front of me, Will, Smith successfully carried that log out of the city, and now it's my turn to make good on my promise!" Ironfast, in the name of the king of Erathia, bestows a thousand gold coins on Will and Smith!"

One of the guards stepped forward and threw a bag of gold coins in front of him.

Listening to the crisp sound of the gold coins in the bag, the people in the square were stunned! Oh my God, is all this true?

Mr. Smith also seemed stunned. Gu Shiyu smiled: "Will, Smith, you can rest assured that you can follow Mrs. Home, she is waiting for you over there!" He turned his head and shouted to Mrs. Smith who was standing aside to wipe away her tears: "Mrs. Smith, you should be very happy at this moment! Take him and the gold coins home with confidence, I will never send him to the northern border, you and your family can live happily in the Iron Fist Castle!"

Countless people are secretly regretting: Oh, I can actually do this, why did I hesitate at that time?!

Mr. Smith stood up excitedly. He held up the heavy bag of gold coins and shouted to the people in the square: "Look, this is the gold coin that His Majesty has personally given me! It has made me understand that His Majesty King Saiya standing before us is completely trustworthy! I will not take the gold coins home, on the contrary, I will use them all to buy the national debt! Let us salute His Majesty the esteemed King Saiya! His Majesty King Saiya, I am willing to fight for you!"

"Hooray!"

"Rejoice! Elasia has finally a good king!"

"King Saiya, we are willing to fight for you too!"

Facing the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the square, a bright smile bloomed on Saiya's face. She waved to the crowd frequently, eager to say a few words to her subjects and express her heartfelt gratitude. But was her voice loud enough? In the deafening cheers of the square, her voice was like an insignificant splash in the sea. She pulled Gu Shiyu and said, "Guzi, you can help me say a few words, you should understand what I want to say!"

Gu Shiyu nodded. Facing the tens of thousands of people in the square, he shouted:

"Honorable inhabitants of Ironfist Castle! His Majesty has entrusted me to express my gratitude to you! She wants me to convey to you that every word she says and every promise she makes will be fulfilled to the letter!"

"Some people don't understand why we have national debt. Citizens of Iron Fist Castle, Erathia is currently facing the catastrophe of war! We need to build a stronger army, and we need to prepare enough strategic materials to ensure that we can finally win this war and annihilate the invaders on the sacred territory of Erathia!"

"In order to achieve this goal, we can go to the Holy Light Island for a loan...... In fact, we did! But the loan on the island of light has to be repaid with high interest! So why can't we give this benefit to our dear and respectable people?"

"Erathia is our motherland, our homeland! We must not allow the invaders to trample on our land and destroy our homeland! It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to protect our homeland, and we can only unite and clench our fists so that we can hurt them, cripple them, and finally destroy them!"

"Citizens of Ironfist Castle, give up your strength! Erathia is a great nation, Erathia is a great nation! It has never been conquered by any enemy in history! Our ancestors repelled one invader after another, by what? Yes, by unity! by incomparable courage and confidence in victory!"

"We can't wait, we can't wait! No one can protect us but ourselves! Otherwise, when our homeland falls, we will lose everything we have!"

"We have no way out! Erathia must fight, and fight with all our might! We cannot lose, and if we lose, we will die! No one wants to die in war, so let's unite and fight bravely with the confidence of victory! Instead of burying your head in your crotch like a coward!"

"Fight, people of Erathia, keep the chance of survival to yourself, and leave the shadow of death to the evil enemy! Victory will always belong to Erathia!"

"Glory forever belongs to Erathia!"

"Long live Erathia!"

"Long live the people of Erathia!"

The people in the square were boiling! They raised their fists and shouted wave after wave of slogans with Gu Shiyu!

That's a slogan of unity! That's a slogan of anger! That's a slogan of looking forward to victory!

Any powerful enemy will tremble at the sound of these monstrous slogans!

The sound of this slogan will flow like a rushing river from the Iron Fist Castle to every corner of Erathia, and then converge into a vast ocean!

Let this ocean make huge waves, and it will bury all invaders!

Tears welled up in Seya's eyes. She looked at Gu Shiyu with admiration and said, "Guzi, you said it so well! You are not only an excellent commander, but also an excellent orator! With your leadership, Erathia will definitely lead to a glorious victory!"

"It's not my leader, it's you!" Gu Shiyu looked at Seya and said. He held up Saiya's arm and held it high into the sky!
