Chapter 58 Arrival at Anshan
Along the way, tens of thousands of people died of illness and overwork.
But in the end, most people managed to survive!
"People, we're here!"
When he saw the shape of Anshan from afar, Li Yuan shouted happily, unable to hide his smile.
Emperor Dayue cheered up:
"My people, we made it through!"
The soldiers shouted again to pass on the message.
The people were trembling with excitement.
This migration day after day, this life-threatening act of giving up everything, is finally approaching the end!
With hope, everyone moved much faster.
When they arrived at the small town at the foot of Anshan Mountain, many people couldn't help but shed tears as they looked at the empty land and the scattered woods around them.
"We have arrived at our new home..."
The old man with a white beard was trembling, and his cloudy eyes were red.
"Mom, can we not leave?"
A half-grown child asked his mother curiously, with hope in his eyes.
They were ragged, covered in dust and extremely tired.
Countless people asked their own trembling questions:
Have they reached their destination?
Everyone turned their eyes to Li Yuan who was in the front.
Even my breathing became tense.
The Dayue Emperor did the same, staring at Li Yuan with deep anticipation in his eyes.
Li Yuan took a deep breath:
"We're here!"
"This thousand-mile area is your new home!"
"Beyond this area, there are thousands of miles of land with few people and no national control. This will be your homeland from now on!"
The people were deathly silent, with tears streaming down their eyes.
They did not shout, but they were not unhappy.
He was so happy that he forgot to shout.
All the native residents of Anshan in the town ran out and had been watching the people of Dayue.
Li Yuan took a step forward, and the residents of Anshan Town knelt down immediately with the utmost sincerity.
Li Yuan spoke up and told the people of Anshan Town the origin of these people.
In addition, the sufferings endured by the people of Dayue were briefly mentioned.
He felt somewhat nervous, thinking that these indigenous people might be somewhat resistant to the new people from Dayue.
Who knows...
The eyes of the people in Anshan town lit up!
The mayor bowed to Li Yuan, then walked out quickly. Looking at the huge crowd, his eyes were as bright as light bulbs.
"Fuck, man!"
"so many people!"
"People from the same country?! The mountain god is awesome!"
The townspeople saw that the mountain god seemed relieved and were in a very good mood.
So they all gathered around happily.
"Our place is remote, and when we asked people to come here before, they were not willing to come!"
"Yes, every time we go out, when people hear that we are from the remote town of Anshan, they know that we have a small population and no future, so they look at us with squinted eyes!"
Some townspeople were so happy that they almost danced with joy.
"The mountain god has brought back so many people. Will our place be prosperous in the future?"
"What, you are all from Dayue Country?"
The townspeople waved their hands nonchalantly.
"Oh! It doesn't matter which country you are from! We are all the same, having suffered a lot!"
"We are looking forward to the arrival of people from Anshan!"
The people of Dayue burst into tears instantly!
They were at the mercy of gods and demons and attacked by monsters.
People from other countries also regarded them as a source of refugees and took precautions against them for a long time.
Now, I have arrived at my new home and am finally welcomed!
Emperor Dayue closed his eyes and sighed deeply:
"The people of Anshan are really simple-minded..."
Li Yuan puffed out his chest proudly.
He taught Zhang Xiaohu's generation carefully, and Zhang Xiaohu's generation taught his descendants carefully...
The deep-rooted idea of Anshan residents is to be kind to others and unity comes first!
Emperor Dayue turned around, seemingly looking at the people, or gazing at the officials:
"My people!"
"We've arrived at our new home!"
"In the future, we should spare no effort to build a new home and recreate the prosperous and long-lasting scene!"
Emperor Dayue raised his arm and shouted, his eyes unable to hide the excitement.
The people shed tears and raised their hands:
"Open up a prosperous world for future generations and build a new home for Dayue!"
Nearly two million people shouted in unison, and the excited voices reached the sky.
Once everyone calmed down and relaxed, they felt the tiredness coming over them like a wave.
Many people collapsed to the ground, too weak to stand up.
It's been almost a year since we left, and we all managed to get through it thanks to our strong will.
Once I relaxed my strength, I could hardly hold on any longer.
There are more than a thousand residents in Anshan Town. At this moment, they all rushed back home, lit the stove, cooked food, and made soup.
With so many people coming at once, many residents had to quickly take their money and prepare to go outside to purchase food and timber.
But it will definitely take some time.
Emperor Dayue waved his hand and said, "My people, let's do our part and bring out the food!"
"Don't let their kindness go to waste!"
The people of Dayue shouted and donated their remaining food to join the cooking team.
In order to provide enough fire for the people to cook, many residents of Anshan had to cut down some trees.
Li Yuan also waved his hand with great pride:
"Tear down the golden statue in my temple and exchange it for money to buy food!"
He was afraid that all his persistence would be ruined by the embarrassing fact that Anshan did not have enough resources.
The people of Anshan hesitated for a moment:
"Lord Mountain God, that is a golden statue dedicated to you!"
Li Yuan didn't care: "Whether it's a golden statue or a stone statue, it's just a vanity!"
"I know your sincerity!"
"Compared to these material possessions, human life is the most important!"
The people scratched their heads, still somewhat hesitant to take action.
They are very respectful of their own mountain god.
Li Yuan personally moved out the mountain god statue that was covered with a thick layer of gold lacquer.
"It's really not a good idea to let you take action. I'm afraid it will ruin your luck and lifespan."
"I will do it myself!"
Li Yuan smashed the ten-foot-tall golden statue of the mountain god to the ground!
As the immortal power was released, large pieces of gold on the golden statue were instantly scraped off.
When Li Yuan finished the work, there was only a bumpy stone statue left, which was in a terrible state.
The people kowtowed to express their gratitude to Li Yuan, and then took the gold items to buy food and supplies from outside.
In order to make them go faster, Li Yuan also cast a breath of fairy air on the ox carts of the Anshan residents.
The cows mooed loudly, ran out at full speed like the wind.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
It was nothing more than some porridge so thin that you couldn't even see a few grains of rice, and boiling hot meat and bone soup, but the people ate it with deep emotion and tears in their eyes.
All this is not a dream.
They really made it to their new home!
Thinking of the hardships they had experienced along the way, the people felt heartbroken.
Many people died in the famine.
Many people fell on the road and couldn't even get out of Dayue Kingdom.
Among those people are their relatives and friends!
Fortunately, all the perseverance finally paid off!
Looking at the vast land outside the town and the vibrant forests, the people of Dayue felt infinite motivation in their hearts.
The gods are kind and the emperor is wise.
The future is in their own hands!
