Chapter 68: Pulling the Cauldron Out (1)
Translator: 549690339
The Song Clan’s First Elder’s voice exploded in the meeting hall. Even the Song Clan’s Master’s face was slightly moved.” Continue.””
“Compared to this, I have a good plan that can disintegrate the Chen family from the foundation. “The Song family’s first elder said confidently.
“Oh, tell me.” If he could disintegrate the Chen Family, Master Song would be more than happy to do so.
“Patriarch, didn’t the Chen family only give food to the commoners after they worked hard?
Then we will do the opposite. Not only will we distribute food for free, but we will also send our family generals and disciples to repair houses for the refugees and guard against demon beasts.”
“Then send someone to secretly report our treatment to the people of Chen City. When that time comes, these people will definitely escape Chen City and come to our Song City.”
Hearing the First Elder’s words, Master Song frowned.” Why do I need so many useless people?”
When the Great Elder heard this, a confident smile appeared on his face.” Master, have you forgotten that ancient rule?”
“Putting aside the natural disasters and demonic disasters, if the number of people under a certain faction is reduced by 90%, then they will be stripped of their grade and give up all businesses that can obtain spirit stones.”
“This is an oath that every aristocratic family or sect has to swear with the clan’s operations before they enter the rank.”
“Once you violate it, the heavens will descend and the Chen family will definitely be destroyed.
If the Chen Clan followed his orders, then the Chen Clan would be like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. It would be useless.”
After listening to First Elder’s words, Master Song’s eyes lit up. This is an open scheme. Even the Deshun Commandery Prince cannot blame us.”
“After all, he can’t blame us for providing disaster relief for free.”
“There’s just one problem. Can our Song family’s food last until the Chen family’s grade falls?”
The First Elder still did not think much of this.
“This is a matter of great concern to the family head. Our Song family has accumulated a lot of food, and in addition to the food we bought from various large merchants some time ago.”
“With the food given by the royal family, it won’t be a problem to provide for two years. Moreover, the family head had forgotten that the land on the bank of the river had not been destroyed.”
“When the time comes, we’ll occupy these lands and hunt some demon beasts and wild beasts. At that time, we’ll suffer a little, and everyone will still be able to have a bowl of rice.”
“As for the land outside the city wall, the damage is not too serious. It is estimated that it will recover in five years.”
“Land invasion? This was a violation of the laws of Da Qian.”Master Song was a little afraid.
This Deshun Commandery Prince was Chen Yang’s master. If he caught the Song Clan’s encroachment on farmland, he would definitely deal with it in a big way.
“Patriarch, when the time comes, we just have to be a little smarter. For example, we can capture a group of demon beasts and put them there.” “In the long run, will we still be afraid that they won’t sell their land to us?”The Great Elder looked as if he had the world under his control.
The First Elder’s words made Master Song completely confident. He immediately said,”Alright, First Elder, go and do it.”
“If we can exterminate the Chen Clan this time, I will remember your contribution.”
“Yes, sir!”

“Have you heard? Not only did the Song family distribute food for free, but they also built houses for refugees who escaped from other cities?”
“Really? That Song family is too good. I’m a little tempted by what they said.” “Why don’t we go together? At that time, they would be able to take care of each other. They could eat and live there for free. Wasn’t it better than here?” In the Chen family’s meeting hall, Chen Xuan’s expression instantly turned cold when he heard the family general talk about the rumors circulating in Chen City.”
Yang Chen didn’t care about this.” It’s just a small trick. Come with me to this drastic plan. Let’s see who can last longer than who.””
“Great Elder, send someone to secretly spread the news that there is no free lunch in this world. The Song family might be hiding some conspiracy.”
“Then, find some evil cultivation techniques, especially those that use blood to cultivate. Spread these cultivation techniques and you’ll be able to stabilize the people.”
“In addition, hold a memorial ceremony to commemorate the clansmen who sacrificed themselves in the demon tide, so that they can remember the grace of our Chen family. If anyone still wanted to leave, then let them go.”
“But it’s fine to leave, but it’s difficult to come back.”
“Understood.”
Qi Laosan was a rich farmer in Chen City. He had tenants farming his fields and lived a carefree life.
He had gotten used to the days where he had to cat and wear whatever he wanted, so he had developed the habit of idling around.
However, this sudden change had pushed Third Brother Qi to the bottom of the valley.
After all, this world had never lacked food since ancient times. Other than merchants, no one was willing to store food.
As a result, even though Third Master Qi was a rich farmer, he had to repair the city walls in exchange for food.
However, after working for a few days, Third Brother Qi could not take it anymore. He happened to hear that Song Cheng was giving out free food and building houses for people.
He immediately thought of moving to Song Cheng.
However, his second brother, Second Brother Qi, was unwilling.
“Second Brother, Song Cheng gave out free food. Why should we work here in exchange for food?”Third Brother tried to persuade his second brother again. “Bullshit! Did your books go into the belly of a dog? The Chen Family had treated Chen Cheng well, so how could they escape from Chen Cheng because of this?”Qi Lao Er scolded his younger brother.
When Third Brother heard this, he immediately snorted and said,””Alright, you’re so righteous, but I can’t compare to you. I hope you can withstand it. I’m leaving!”
Third Brother Qi immediately brought his family and left Chen City for Song City.
Third Brother Qi was just a small part of Chen City. As the rumors increased, more and more people moved out of Chen City.
The remaining 90% chose to stay in Chen City because of the news spread by the Chen family and the memorial ceremony.
The Chen family had already declared that they would not treat these people unfairly.
Days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the next month.
On the first day of the month, the Great Elder barged into Yang Chen’s courtyard and woke him up from his cultivation.
“First Elder, why are you so impatient?”Yang Chen was glad that he was not at the right time to break through. Otherwise, he would have gone mad.
Chen Xuan also knew that he was wrong. He immediately smiled awkwardly and quickly said,”Patriarch, it’s done!”
“What did you do?”
“The matter of the fertilizer has been completed. According to the person in charge of the farm, they have transported the manure that can be used as fertilizer to the farm and successfully germinated the grain!”Chen Xuan said excitedly.
“Really?”
Immediately, Chen Yang ignored his cultivation and quickly went to the farm with Chen Xuan.
In the Chen Clan’s farm, Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at the rice sprouts blooming on the black soil.”Hahaha, in that case, our Chen family’s grand plan will succeed!”
Yang Chen also noticed that because of the fertilizer, the black soil was gradually turning black.
Although it wasn’t obvious, it still couldn’t escape the eyes of a Pulse Unsealing martial artist.
“This is another happy thing. Perhaps it won’t be long before these farmlands can be cultivated again..”
