The land of Yuzhou is a bustling and busy scene.
During this period, you can even see soldiers wearing military uniforms from Dayong, Daqi and other countries running around to help transport various supplies, dig rivers, and clean up mud.
This was absolutely unimaginable before, but it actually happened.
The culprit who caused all this is working hard to make up for the aftermath of this disaster.
Even if it's not easy, you have to do it.
The war in the strict sense is over, and many people have not yet adapted to the change in status.
When some of the victims who had just been brought here saw soldiers from other countries, they couldn't help but look for something to make a hole in their heads. In order to solve this problem, Wang Mang even had to detach a group of people to go around and explain.
The four-nation coalition has surrendered.
Yes, surrender!
Most of the soldiers who were originally used for combat were withdrawn, and the remaining people had to help manage the source river that burst its banks, which can be compared to corvee labor.
And the compensation for Otsuki from the four countries is also being delivered one after another.
The war that was originally in full swing came to an abrupt end after the Yuan River burst its banks.
The emperors of the four kingdoms all issued edicts one after another. They were nominally taught by Mo Qiu and admired the glory of the saint. No matter how ridiculous the reason was, there would always be people who believed it. Anyway, it was to give an explanation to the people.
And after the defeat, the people of all countries did benefit. Even if the benefits were taken out of their own treasury, it is better if the wool comes from the sheep than if the wool is taken and trampled on.
Taken together, Dayue has received sufficient supplies at this time, and all kinds of people have also received tangible benefits. Everyone has made a profit, so who has lost?
Perhaps we should ask those masters who have set out and the emperors who are about to abdicate and make way for the next generation. In a hurry, they are raising their butcher knives high in their hands, aiming at the wealthy families.
Wang Mang is very busy.
No, he was busy before, but even busier now.
Gu Dan entrusted Yuzhou affairs to him, and he had to do a good job.
Fortunately, the body of an accomplished Zang practitioner is still struggling to support him, and he will not collapse from physical and mental exhaustion like ordinary people after ten days and a half of hard work.
Unfortunately, even the body of a highly accomplished martial artist could not withstand such a disaster from him.
Among countless choices and fatigue, Wang Mang still collapsed and needed to recuperate.
"Wang Lang, I'm here to drink some medicine."
Xu Wanrong, the former White Lotus Saint, walked into the room with soup. Wang Mang's face was pale on the bed, which was a sign of overthinking.
Squeezing the spirit and blood will have backlash. Ordinary people also have the opportunity to be blessed in their souls and burst out with extraordinary power in an instant, but the price is their lives.
Successful warriors can regulate their own abilities to a certain extent, but they also have their limits, and this price needs to be repaid.
"I've been resting for half a day, I'm fine."
Wang Mang held the bed board and tried to sit up, but before he could move, Xu Wanrong pushed him down.
Firstly, Xu Wanrong is also a martial artist who has mastered Zang training. Secondly, she is pregnant and Wang Mang does not dare to compete with her.
Well, that must be the case.
"Although things are prioritized, you can't do this. You're going to wear out your body. Just lie down and have a good rest, at least for a day."
Xu Wanrong said without any doubt.
Now two months have passed since the Yuan River burst its banks. At this time, the situation has improved a lot compared to the initial chaos. Almost everything that should have been done has been done, and the rest will not be solved overnight. things that can be accomplished.
If you continue to suppress your own potential, it will do no good except harm to your body.
"It's not that I don't want to rest. You also know what's going on outside. Brother Gu asked me to watch, even if he asked me to lie outside and watch. How can I stay in the house by myself?"
Wang Mang said anxiously.
One thing I have to mention is that no one was prepared two months ago, whether it was the Yuan River bursting its banks or even the surrender of the Four Nations Allied Forces, including what needed to be done thereafter!
When things came crashing down in a hurry, they didn't even have a truly effective team.
There are indeed many warriors in the Mo family who are determined to fight to the death, but it is okay to let them fight for their lives. When it comes to the ability to govern the country, it is a matter of opinion.
It's not that they can't do it, but that if you directly try to take over a country's affairs, you need to do it step by step.
Moreover, the Mohist family's losses were not small. There were originally more than a thousand Mohists, but only a few hundred gathered at this time to follow Qin Lisheng's side to stabilize order.
Of course, in the midst of chaos, talented people will inevitably emerge, and it’s time for gold to shine.
For example, the two disciples of Qing Pingzi were outstanding in their talents and could be called dragons and phoenixes among people. Although they were young, they had many methods and contributed a lot.
But making a decision is a decision. There can only be one person who can really make the final decision and control the overall situation.
Gu Dan entrusted this matter to Wang Mang, so Wang Mang must be responsible for this matter, and he is the general person in charge.
Without him, there is no one to nod and take responsibility, so many things can only be put on hold, and we dare not overdo it.
As for Qin Lisheng, who was promoted to Grand Master, he had already left Yuzhou at this time. He wanted to tell the whole world in Dayue that the war was over.
In the name of the Mohist family.
"Leaderless, that's what you want to say, right?"
Xu Wanrong scooped up the medicinal soup, blew it gently, and brought it to Wang Mang's mouth.
Wang Mang felt helpless as the bitter soup went down his throat, "I can't say I can't do it without you, but managing the Yuanhe River is a big deal. Where to manage it and how to manage it, there must be someone who nods, otherwise so many people are here It would be too luxurious to stay there in the winter!"
What you want to do in winter will cost much more than in other seasons, and the four countries will provide compensation, so there is no need to worry, but without someone to coordinate, the power will not be used in one place.
"It's okay. I've asked Xun Ke to help him carry it up first. Just have a good rest. Although Xun Ke is not old, he is very knowledgeable. There should be no problem if he carries it for a few days, right?"
Xu Wanrong didn't give Wang Mang a chance to defend himself, and brought another spoon to his mouth.
After the great prayer trip, Xun Ke came back.
It is enough to see one place, and you can know the whole picture at a glance. The most important thing is the way you open your mind. The rest is personal effort.
"Oh, okay."
Wang Mang lay helplessly on the bed, swallowing the soup that Xu Wanrong brought to his mouth again and again like a puppet, obviously absent-minded.
Xu Wanrong was so angry that she flicked his forehead.
"Do you really want to be the emperor?"
Xu Wanrong asked.
Although she was very excited when Wang Mang first revealed this idea.
But in an instant, the fact that the four countries surrendered made her understand, so what if who becomes the emperor?
It’s not about looking at Mr. Gu’s face!
If Mr. Gu thinks you are good, you can do it. If not, he will let you go.
If Da Yue is like this, how is it different from the other four countries?
If the emperor cannot represent the supreme authority and has to rely on others, he is nothing more than a puppet.
It's like she was once the Holy Maiden of White Lotus. She was the number one person in the White Lotus Sect, so she had to listen to the leader of the White Lotus Sect.
Thinking about it this way, the emperor's temptation seems to be just that.
Is the right to be locked in a cage still worth looking forward to?
It's hard to say.
If you don't have the pursuit of fame and wealth in your heart, this kind of emperor is not appropriate.
This is not to say that Mr. Gu is bad, but obviously the emperor in this situation will never be as free and happy as Emperor Zongming, although she has not thought about it that way.
"How can a man who is born in this world not want to do great things?"
Wang Mang's eyes widened, and there was a brilliant look in his bloodshot eyes. It was obvious that he really wanted to be recognized through his efforts.
"What kind of great deed?"
Wang Mang heard someone ask.
"Of course it is."
Just as he was about to answer, Wang Mang came back to his senses and looked at the door of the room.
A figure in green clothes stood there, with the sunlight shining on his body, making it difficult to see his face.
"Brother Gu!"
Wang Mang wanted to sit up.
Gu Dan stepped forward, with green light like this, making up for the body that seemed too deficient, "Continue to talk, what is a great achievement?"
Wang Mang was silent for a moment, not daring to hide anything, and answered based on his inner thoughts: "My name will remain in the world, praised by the world, and remembered by generations!"
This is indeed the highest pursuit of ordinary people.
The so-called reputation before and after life is nothing more than this.
It's just that the vast majority of people can't even leave their names in the history books, let alone be remembered by EMI.
Even saints may not be able to survive a hundred generations without being expelled.
"If the emperor can live for three generations and still be mentioned by the people, he is considered the emperor. If he is still mentioned after changing dynasties, he can be called the emperor. And if he can be compared and talked about by people after changing dynasties and generations, he is considered the emperor. It can be called an emperor through the ages."
Gu Dan patted Wang Mang on the shoulder, "Your ambition is not small!"
"Wouldn't it be too boring to not achieve something in life?"
Wang Mang said seriously: "Brother Gu, you know me. I am not afraid of hardship. I dare to do it and I will do it."
Gu Dan looked at Wang Mang. He had become familiar with this little guy when Wang Mang was less than ten years old. His mind was indeed different from that of ordinary people.
But can he be a good emperor?
No one can guarantee this.
Just like when Emperor Zong Ming first came to the throne, everyone thought that he had ushered in a bright master. Who could have imagined that it would bring disaster to Dayue for more than 20 years.
It is easy to say big words and have great ambitions without changing your original intention, but it is very difficult to realize them.
"If you want to do it, you can. If you don't do well, you have to go down. If you make a big mistake, I won't show mercy."
Gu Dan said.
"good!"
Wang Mang's eyes burst out with bright light.
On this day, he had never thought before that each of his previous competitors was more terrifying than the other. Which one, Huang Chao or White Lotus Leader, was not a master, and which one had not established his own family business?
But in the end, he got the position first.
Although what is maintained is Gu Dan's trust and the risk of being replaced if he is not qualified, but what does that mean?
I don’t know how many people lined up to get in!
To have this opportunity to prove one's strength and leave one's name in the annals of history is terrifying.
Big Moon, Big Moon, this title has been called for too long.
The war is over, the big moon has died, and a new kingdom will rise, giving its people a different life under another name.
"What would be a better name for the new country?"
Wang Mang asked.
"It's up to you to think about it."
Gu Dan shook his head and declined the right to name.
"The beauty of the uniform is called "Hua"; the state of etiquette is called "Xia". How about these two words?
