Villagers gather excitedly at the village entrance to find ten massive iron carts filled with Cold Beast Meat, Beast Blood, and valuable elixirs. Su Lie explains that the materials are from the Xia Army and that Bai Wuting, a high-ranking official from the Camp Supply Department, will explain their purpose. Bai Wuting arrives and informs them that this is the first batch of supplies for building a city and stationing troops, with more to come.

When Bai Wuting mentioned using a portion of cultivation materials to recruit labor, Fan Kong’s expression became somewhat excited; but when he heard that everyone had to serve labor according to the Great Xia’s rules, his face immediately changed; however, as Bai Wuting slowly explained all the Great Xia’s rules, his complexion turned red continuously, and his emotions grew increasingly intense.

Great Xia’s labor service is divided into mining, logging, and hunting, with monthly quotas, but only for those over fifteen years old and those with Wood Cutting Realm cultivation or higher;

The amounts for the three types of labor service are not large, and Qiu Sizheng, considering the scarcity of Cold Beast Resources in Evergreen Valley and the high vegetation coverage rate, decided to significantly reduce their hunting duties and add them to mining and logging duties;

As long as individuals complete their labor service according to standard, they can engage in other work freely, and any additional resources collected can be directly exchanged for Contribution Value at the Eight Departments that will be established in Guangning City in the future. Contribution Value is linked to silver and can be exchanged for Beast Meat, Beast Blood, or even Dan Medicine and any cultivation resources;

Everyone with Wood Cutting Realm cultivation or higher must register their citizenship in Guangning City, and there will be a Contribution Value record under their name...

Children under six years old have a fixed quota of 5 jin of Beast Meat every month, and those aged six to fifteen who have not broken through to the Wood Cutting Realm have one jin each day......

Bai Wuting explained very thoroughly, almost introducing the future system that Great Xia would implement in Guangning City completely.

Fan Kong, who was initially excited, began to feel somewhat apprehensive as he listened further, simply because what Bai Wuting said was incredibly astounding.

He turned his head to see that not only Su Lie but also village chiefs from the other ten or so villages in Green Jade Valley were present, and his mood relaxed significantly; then he looked at Bai Wuting again and confirmed there was no hint of joking on his face. His mind exploded with a roar, feeling certain that Green Jade Valley must be favored by heaven, making his body tremble with excitement.

"To have the fortune to become part of Great Xia Territory is a great blessing for Green Jade Valley, a once-in-a-century blessing. I, this old man, kneel before Lord Bai, kneel down, boo hoo hoo hoo......"

Having suffered for a lifetime, Fan Kong, upon confirming that everything Bai Wuting said was true after his words fell, couldn’t help but burst into loud sobbing, and in his overly excited state, he even bow down to the ground, kneeling once again before him.

The remaining village chiefs, including the villagers from River Valley Village, also heard for the first time about Great Xia’s policies for Green Jade Valley from Bai Wuting’s mouth, and they too cried with tears streaming down their faces, following behind Fan Kong and kneeling before Bai Wuting.

Bai Wuting was so startled by this scene that his expression changed on the spot. He quickly dodged and said anxiously, "These rules were all personally set by our Great Xia Lord. The one you should be grateful to is not me, but our Great Xia Lord, Xia Hong..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, starting from today, you all have become Great Xia citizens, so it’s not just me but all of us who share the same Lord..."

"Eternal Lord, Eternal Great Xia!"

Suddenly, a high-pitched shout rang from the front of the crowd, and the others immediately reacted, quickly following behind the person to shout in unison, their voices filled with zeal and excitement.

"Eternal Lord, Eternal Great Xia!"

.........

The one who shouted this slogan was Su Lie.

When the Xia Army decisively defeated Cai Qiu at the north entrance of Bone-Eroding Path, the soldiers uniformly shouted this slogan, and he now was learning and applying it.

Bai Wuting had noticed Su Lie long since, and when he saw everyone following him in chanting these eight words, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. He couldn’t help but develop a liking for this elderly man, who was over seventy yet very astute.
