Of course, raising the people is the way to support the people, but in order to prevent them from developing a lazy temperament, Jiang Chen's food can only meet the basic needs of life. If he wants more, he can only rely on his own efforts.
To put it simply, even if you do nothing, just relying on the subsidies from Jiang Chen can guarantee that you will not starve to death. But if you want to live a better life, just relying on subsidies is not enough. You need to fight and fight on your own.
Jiang Chen doesn't give out meat. If he wants to eat meat, he has to go out of the city and hunt by himself. There are so many ferocious beasts out there, and the flesh and blood on their bodies is much more precious than spiritual rice.
After all, Jiang Chen doesn't want to raise a bunch of rice bugs. What he wants is for everyone to work hard and work hard to improve their own level and change their destiny.
Heaven is in good health, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement. If he wants everyone to be like a dragon, in addition to environmental factors, his own efforts are also important. If you don’t work hard, no matter how good the external conditions are, how can you achieve success?
"An unprecedented era has arrived, and everything that should be given to you has been given to you. Whether you can seize the opportunity to rise up depends on you."
Jiang Chen believed that he had done his utmost to be benevolent and treated his clansmen with the best treatment.
Not to mention anything else, ordinary monks had never even seen the Fortune Pill, but Jiang Chen was unambiguous when he said it. How many people in the prehistoric era could have done such a heroic work?
And Jiang Chen has done this, so what reason do those clansmen have for not working hard?
"If you don't have a chance to get ahead, you can just mess it up. Now that the opportunities to get ahead are right in front of you, they are everywhere, and you still mess up, then it's really like the mud can't hold up the wall."
Jiang Chen didn't care about other people's opinions, as long as he was worthy of his own conscience. He has already prepared everything that should be prepared, and it is the best.
Just like this, if the world doesn't work hard, it has nothing to do with him, and we can't even blame him.
Although Jiang Chen wanted to let the people leave the city, he only encouraged them, not forced them. Everyone has his own choice, he does not interfere, as long as he does not regret it.
Moreover, this heavenly test itself is a screening process. Hiding in the city instead of going outside the city to participate in the test of heaven, the chance of survival is indeed much higher.
However, while they did not leave the city, they also gave up hope of rising.
Nothing can be seen now, but a hundred years later, as their lives gradually come to an end, the gap will be reflected.
Those who don't leave the city will soon die of old age, but those who go out to participate in the test are still in their prime and at the peak of their lives.
I wonder if they will regret it then?
Of course, it doesn't matter whether they regret it or not. Their death means that they are eliminated by the world, and the remaining tribesmen are the elite of the human race.
Because of their hard work, the human race is bound to become stronger. And the ambition of the sages of the human race in the past generations to be like dragons will also be reflected in them.
Those who stayed in the city gave up the hope of rising, which was tantamount to self-elimination, so they were destined not to live forever. Allowing them to live a life without disease or disaster is the last gift from the human race to them.

"The order goes down. From today on, any force is prohibited from selling food to mortals. The only channel for mortals to purchase food is through the Divine Court."
"In addition, no matter which force it is, it will severely punish every case found and will never tolerate it."
Looking away from Jiuzhou, Jiang Chen ordered coldly. How long did it take for the celestial phenomena to change? In just over a month, some people have already begun to drive up food prices.
Food is the most important thing for the people. In this situation, the people have lost their land, and they can be said to be very panicked. In order to cope with the next disaster, they will definitely try their best to save food.
As the saying goes, "Have food in your heart and don't panic." Even if Jiang Chen distributed food every day, it would not dissuade the people from saving food.
After all, Jiang Chen can guarantee that even if he is given out food for a hundred years, he will not be given out all his food reserves. But he can say this, but the people may not believe it.
The big truth is not as reassuring as the food at home.
We can't control this kind of thing, we can only use facts to prove it. After a few months of food distribution, the people will have confidence in their hearts, and the trend of hoarding food will naturally disappear.
At first, Jiang Chen thought so, so he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he looked at it today, he found that someone was taking this opportunity to raise the price of food crazily and make a fortune.
During major disasters, grain merchants raise prices, causing huge losses in lives and fortunes. This has happened in all dynasties. But Jiang Chen didn't expect that such a thing would happen under his nose.
If it had been anyone else, faced with this situation, they might have used official grain to hit grain prices, causing these grain merchants to lose their money.
But Jiang Chen wouldn't do it. He was a tyrant and would kill such a businessman directly if he met him. Kill everyone you meet, and if you kill too many, naturally no one will dare to do it.
"Nowadays, major disasters occur frequently, which is a time when people's hearts are in turmoil. And this is also the time when conspirators are most likely to incite people's hearts. Any small thing may be turned into a trigger, which will lead to huge chaos."
"Unscrupulous traders from all over the world are driving up food prices, which is just one of the chaos. In addition, there are Huang Tiandao's evil words that deceive people, mountain spirits that kill people, and even evil spirits that seduce people's hearts."
"These are all the disadvantages brought about by changes in the celestial phenomena, and they can also be said to be part of the test."
"Only by surviving these kinds of catastrophes can the human race transform and become the true protagonists of the world."
Jiang Chen was aware of all the chaos in the human race, but he ignored most of them. He also needs to take care of it. Officials from various places are responsible for the affairs of the human world, and the city gods of each region are responsible for the affairs of the cultivation world.
If Jiang Chen has to handle everything, then what else do they need to do? Jiang Chen is the ruler. What he has to do is control the general direction and guide the human race to the right path.
Small things like these are minor details, and the people below should be responsible for them. Only when the people below can't handle it, will it be his turn to take action.
Just like Huang Tiandao, he is like a rat in the sewer. He can't get on the stage at all and can be dealt with by the city gods everywhere.
If Jiang Chen needs to take action like this, wouldn't it make his subordinates look incompetent?
…
…………
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed.
During the past hundred years, Jiang Chen and King Wu had never had a conflict. Both sides seemed to treat the other as non-existent and develop their respective forces with peace of mind.
If King Wu and Jiang Chen, the two most unstable factors in the ancient world, do not move, then naturally nothing major will happen in the ancient world.
It can be said that in the past hundred years, the ancient world has entered a strange period of calm, and all forces are recharging their strength in preparation for the next war.
Hundreds of years have passed. Although nothing major happened in the prehistoric times, the human race has undergone great changes.
First of all, Nanzhanbuzhou is bigger, or in other words, the real Nanzhanbuzhou has finally appeared in front of the world again.
With the continuous recovery of spiritual energy, the hidden part of Nanzhan Buzhou once again appeared in front of everyone's eyes. In terms of area, it was thousands of times larger than before. Although it is still not as good as Dongsheng Shenzhou, it is far more than Xiniu Hezhou and Beiju Luzhou.
The complete Nanzhan tribe has reappeared in the world, and the heritage of the human race has undoubtedly been enhanced. More and more ancient clans have integrated into the divine court, making Jiang Chen's heritage deeper and deeper.
In addition, the biggest change in the human race is that the natural punishment outside is getting stronger and stronger, and all kinds of bad weather have officially entered the extraordinary stage from the mortal stage.
The thunder in the sky is no longer an ordinary thunder, but an innate thunder. Any one falling can break the mountains and rivers on the earth.
The heavy rain and snow have also undergone changes. There are many types of rain, all of which are transformed by spiritual water. Some can dissolve flesh and blood, some can specifically target the soul, and even worse, can pollute the spiritual veins.
The heavy snow is even more incredible. A small snowflake contains the power of extreme cold. Once it falls, it can immediately freeze a kilometer in radius.
The strong wind also turned into a strong wind, like a sharp blade that could cut off a layer of the mountain.
In short, the celestial phenomena have become so bad that it is completely unsuitable for mortals to survive. Even the monks can't stand it and dare not go out when the weather changes.
But it is undeniable that a harsh environment can best hone one's will. After a hundred years of hard work, the human race has indeed produced many masters.
What can we do with a hundred years? It is enough for the human race to give birth to a large number of immortals. Becoming an immortal within a hundred years was a luxury expectation in the past, but in this era, it is a common thing.
If you still can't become an immortal after cultivating for hundreds of years, that can only mean one thing, you are a waste.
Why is this so? Because the overall talent of the human race has increased a lot and become stronger.
