The Principality of Western Qin, under the rule of Ling Zhi, has always been in a state of long-term peace and stability.

However, with the gradual outbreak of the Demon Soul Crisis, there have also been some turbulent changes in the principality.

The war in the Hung Ya Fortress is getting bigger and bigger, and strange and calm demon soul crises are constantly breaking out in various places.

There is a dark tide surging within the principality, and the invisible battle is still going on.

The covetousness of various forces for the fortress of the Western Qin and Hun Tooth has once again pushed this land of the East and Ming Dynasty to the forefront of the West.

Ling Zhi is a good lord of the country, which at least every citizen of Western Qin knows.

But such a good lord of the country, the situation he faces every day is becoming more and more complicated.

He tried his best to deal with the big and small affairs of the entire principality, but the situation faced by Ling Zhi was becoming more and more troublesome.

One of the biggest problems that plagues Lingzhi is that there are too few talents available around him.

At the military level, it was not easy for the Yihan brothers to share their worries, but the Hungarian fortress had the two of them firmly tied there.

Although there is a Lu Ying who can share with him in internal affairs, there is only one Lu Ying.

Among the two sons, Ling Hyun is the most reassuring one for him, and he is also the one with the most outstanding ability.

But Ling Zhi also knew very well in his heart what Ling Hyun's prominence meant.

Sometimes sitting alone on the throne and looking at the huge hall, Ling Zhi realized that there was really too little help around him.

Although Shangguan Feng has now arrived with the Divine Mission, it has solved the problem of Ling Zhi's lack of employment to a large extent.

But in a series of later events, Ling Zhi also saw clearly the inside of the Divine Mission, which was actually not as unbreakable as it seemed.

Countless problems were in front of Ling Zhi, and at this time, a new problem came again.

After finishing the morning discussion, Ling Zhi also returned to his study, and Shangguan Feng and Lu Ying all followed him back here.

"Alas...!" After coming to the study and sighing, Ling Zhi also waved his hand at Shangguan Feng and Lu Ying, motioning for them to sit down and talk.

After all of them were seated, Ling Zhi looked at the pile of documents in front of him, and his former high-spirited face was also covered with gloom and mist at the moment.

These documents all report one thing, that is, a large number of migrants have begun to appear within the Western Qin Principality.

Although the destinations of these migrants are different, there is only one reason why they are emigrating, and that is because of the Demon Soul Crisis that appeared some time ago.

The sudden riot at the beginning made Ling Zhi at a loss, and it also made many people in Western Qin uneasy.

Regarding their move out of the Western Qin Principality, Ling Zhi also understood in his heart, and he would not deliberately stop anything.

Of course, if it were more precise, it was Ling Zhi who could not and did not dare to stop their actions.

In the face of such a large-scale emigration, Ling Zhi knew very well in his heart that if he rashly stopped it, it was likely to cause a major riot in Western Qin.

Once this kind of riot occurs, the direct losses and consequences will be more serious than the previous Demon Soul riot.

After pondering for a long time, Ling Zhi also opened his tired eyes and looked at Shangguan Feng and Lu Ying who were present.

"What do you think of the current situation, two?"

Looking at Ling Zhi in front of him with a sad face, Shangguan Feng and Lu Ying glanced at each other, but finally failed to speak.

In fact, they didn't speak, and they knew very well in their hearts how much impact this matter had on Xiqin.

First of all, the people who moved out of Western Qin as reported in these documents actually have a lot in common, that is, they belong to the class of the rich.

Ling Zhi, Shangguan Feng and Lu Ying were not surprised by this, after all, the poor did not have the courage to move, to be precise, they did not have so much money to take root in a new place.

One of the biggest effects of these relatively wealthy people migrating out is that they also have a part of the mercenary organizations in Western Qin that they employ.

In short, their migration took away money and assets, and likewise took away a large part of the living force that could resist the demon spirit.

Although the value of the Demon Soul Crystal has now been announced, after careful consideration, especially after trying to obtain the Soul Crystal, many mercenary organizations have temporarily withdrawn from this way of making a fortune.

At first, maybe they were hot-headed and went to hunt down those demon souls to obtain soul crystals, but later they found that dealing with demon souls was far from being as simple as they thought.

One of the most intuitive points is that obtaining soul crystals means that you must fight hard, even if you can't fight and want to escape, those enraged demon souls will not let you go easily.

But when you are a bodyguard for those rich people, you only need to work hard under certain circumstances, and sometimes you can even give up the task altogether, and even maybe even do the despicable act of hijacking the employer.

After carefully weighing these situations in their hearts, these mercenaries still chose to do a relatively safe job with little money.

It is human nature to be afraid of death, and selfishness is human instinct, and Ling Zhi has always been very clear about this point, which has nothing to do with moral constraints, but just human nature.

After pondering for a long time, Lu Ying also stood up and bowed slightly to Ling Zhi.

"Your Majesty! ”

The dull atmosphere was finally broken, and Ling Zhi's heart was somewhat relieved, and then waved his hand at Lu Yingyi.

"Although Lu Xiang has something to say, just sit down and say it. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" thanked Ling Zhi, and Lu Ying sat down again.

"Your Majesty! The old minister believes that now that the tide of emigration is a foregone conclusion, what we need is to keep these people and ignore them to a certain extent. ”

"Oh?" Puzzled, Ling Zhi's face also showed a little doubt.

"What does Lu Xiang mean by this? Please make it clear. ”

"It's Your Majesty! The old minister believes that this kind of thing is directly related to the situation facing my Xiqin now, or the choice of these people is understandable. ”

"If you want them to stay, you must give them certain benefits, such as giving them certain preferential treatment and coordination at the level of business and life. ”

Of course, one of the most direct drawbacks of this approach is that it will lead to a rapid increase in the wealth of those who remain, which will cause some distress to ordinary people, and there will be more conflicts. ”

If this is to be carried out, then we must be strict with the law, lenient to the emigrants, and at the same time give the greatest protection to the common people. ”

"Of course, it's just an aid, to keep those who want to stay. ”

"In the current situation, Lao Chen thinks that the most important point is to care more about the ordinary people who stay in the territory of Western Qin. ”

"Be more concerned about their lives, bring them together as soon as possible, and coordinate the personnel in the army to give them some necessary training. ”

Lao Chen believes that everyone's later gains are because of their previous hard work. ”

"Not everyone is born with fame and fortune, and why don't we try to turn these ordinary people who are willing to share the honor and disgrace with my Xiqin into those rich people who are more responsible?"

"If we summarize the opinion of the old minister, it is that we should now follow the practices of Marshal Yi Han in the fortress of Hun Ya. ”

After listening to Lu Ying's words quietly, Ling Zhi and Shangguan Feng's hearts were moved.

After pondering for a moment, Ling Zhi's heart also confessed the meaning of Lu Ying's words just now.

"Instead of keeping those who are gone, why don't you care for those who are left in front of you?"

After thinking about it again and again, Shangguan Feng also hugged his fist at Ling Zhi.

"Ling Zhi! I also agree with Lu Xiang's opinion, what Yi Han practiced in Biansai can indeed be tried. ”

"The effect of 10,000 scattered people and 1,000 people of one heart and one mind is completely different. ”

Hearing Shangguan Feng's words, Ling Zhi also made up his mind in his heart.

"Smack!" slapped the table in front of him hard, and Ling Zhi also stood up.

"Well, I agree!"

"Lu Xiang, you immediately arrange manpower to sort out a detailed plan as soon as possible, and then I will send someone to implement this plan immediately. ”

"Do you have any opinions on the candidates for this executor?"

After glancing at each other, Shangguan Feng and Lu Ying also said a person's name in unison.

"Ling Hyun!"

In the fortress of the Southern Dynasty, in the sky with faint clouds, a figure in a plain robe held a little girl dressed in white, wandering among the free clouds at this moment.

Looking at the clouds that were close at hand with a smile on his face, Yi Pian also stretched out his little white hand, wanting to touch the feeling.

But there are some things that you can see but you can't touch, and clouds are a good example of that.

Some of them looked at their hands in disappointment, and Yi Pitian's little face also showed a little lost expression.

After perceiving Yi Pii's mood change, Geraint also smiled lightly.

"Rei, take a closer look at your hand to see what's on it?"

"Huh...?" Puzzled, Yi Pian also looked at the little hand he had touched the cloud, and then he realized that it was already covered with a thin layer of water droplets.

"This is what the clouds look like, you grab it!"

A gentle smile appeared on Geraint's face, and there was a warm feeling in Yi Pitian's heart.

Thinking back carefully, these days, the days when this gentle big brother accompanied him, Yi Pitian's little hand couldn't help but wrap around his neck again.

"Brother Geraint, you... Will you come to the Southern Dynasty Fortress in the future?"

"Of course, Qingmingshan is not very far from here, and it doesn't take me a day to get here. ”

"If I have time in the future, I'll come over often to see Li'er, okay?"

"Hmm!" said softly, and Yi Pian's hands around Geraint's neck became even harder.

On the top of the fortress of the Southern Dynasty, Bei'er was also hugging Xiao Tianxing in front of her tightly, because today she and Geraint were going to return to Qingming Mountain.

"Brother Tianxing, if you can't see you, you will definitely think that you will be sick. ”

Reaching out and patting Bei'er's back, Xiao Tianxing's voice also revealed a trace of reluctance.

"Bell, I'm already thinking about you now. ”

"Hmm!" said softly, and Bei'er's hands holding Xiao Tianxing became even harder.

"Whew...!" a gust of wind blew, and Geraint landed on top of the city with her arms in her arms.

Releasing Xiao Tianxing in his arms, Bei'er gently pecked him on the lips, and then came to Geraint's side.

"Li'er, I want to go back to Qingming Mountain first, and I will definitely come often in the future. ”

"Hmm!" said the same soft reply, and Yi Pity pecked Jaylant's face as well.

Maybe there is still a lot to say, but they know in each other's hearts what the other party wants to say, so there is no need to say much about the two pairs of feelings at this moment.
