Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 372 - 274: Can’t Finish Planting, Absolutely Can’t Finish Planting!

Chapter 372: Chapter 274: Can’t Finish Planting, Absolutely Can’t Finish Planting!

Time was pressing, and after Zhao Yi discussed personnel placement with the ancestor "Zhao Xuan," he left the Little World.

The ten million people who entered first were all members of the Zhao family or dependents loyal to the Zhao family.

They had already gone through reincarnation, and by the Spirit Lake, they had recovered from their injuries and could stabilize the situation.

Next in line to be transported would be the aristocratic families, cultivation sects, and ordinary people.

Once these people entered the Little World, the first step was also to disperse their technique and undergo reincarnation.

But unlike the children of the Zhao family, these people had no conditions to recover their injuries in the Spirit Lake.

Disperse Technique reincarnation is equivalent to reshaping the meridians, a very painful and lengthy process.

The Zhao family ancestors took a month to recover from injuries in the Spirit Lake.

If they only relied on Spirit Medicine, this period would likely be significantly extended, taking at least half a year or even a year.

Once the Cultivation World population was moved into the New World, the first issue they faced was the redistribution of resources.

In this regard, Zhao Yi discussed with the ancestor "Zhao Xuan."

The New World uses the Spirit Lake as its center, expanding outward from there.

The allocation principle is first come, first served.

Regardless if the arrivals were once dignitaries or from powerful cultivation sects, or even beggars and scavengers.

As long as you were the first to reach the New World and occupied a place, that place was yours.

As for how much land you could occupy, Zhao Yi’s idea was to make it unrestricted.

He encouraged freely occupying land as long as you could cultivate it all.

The population of the Great Xia is not considered large, and in the Cultivation World, humans only occupied a small region.

The other areas were either Forbidden Lands unsuitable for human habitation or realms of creatures and barbarians.

This was also the reason Zuo Xiaoluo was always troubled about not being able to wipe out the barbarians while guarding the Northern Territory.

The Cultivation World was too vast.

Although those barbarians were no match for the Great Xia military, as long as they found a hole to hide in, searching for them was like finding a needle in a haystack.

The New World was ten times larger than the Cultivation World, let alone accommodating the people of Great Xia. It could even accommodate creatures and barbarians with enough space to distribute.

Therefore, Zhao Yi did not care at all if people occupied land in the New World.

Everyone’s opportunities were equal, the amount you could occupy depended on your capability.

The only difference was the distance from the center of the New World.

Zhao Yi knew there would definitely be dissatisfaction from some.

For example, those aristocratic families from Shengjing City.

They occupied vast resources in the Cultivation World, but because they entered the New World late, they couldn’t snag good spots, forcing them to develop in the fringes, which made their millennium-long accumulation for naught.

Those people would surely find it hard to accept such a massive psychological gap.

But what did that have to do with Zhao Yi?

Zhao Yi had given them a chance; it was their hesitance that prevented them from being the first to enter.

Now, as the benefits were exhausted, they regretted their decision.

Zhao Yi would not indulge them.

He deliberately prevented the latecomers from healing in the Spirit Lake to make them adapt to the New World’s environment during this period, while also establishing the new Great Xia Dynasty and determining a new social order.

If those aristocratic families dared to cause trouble, Zhao Yi wouldn’t mind using them as a warning to others.

After bidding farewell to the ancestor "Zhao Xuan," Zhao Yi returned to the Crown Prince’s Mansion and did not stop, heading directly toward the city gates.

Though Zhao Yi was also eager to explore the Path of Chaos in the New World, progressing on "Zhao Xuan’s" Path of the Demon must come first. He couldn’t take risks before that.

In the Cultivation World, the Empress and Emperor remained seated, unable to depart in the short term.

In the New World, Zhao Yi and "Zhao Xuan" served as the main pillars.

If both were to encounter trouble simultaneously, the fragile order just established in the New World could immediately collapse.

Upon reaching the city gate, Zhao Yi saw Linglong speaking to a group of people at the entrance of a temporary camp.

Seeing Zhao Yi approach, Linglong paused momentarily before quickly coming forward to greet him.

"Your humble servant greets the Crown Prince!"

The surrounding crowd, seeing Linglong salute Zhao Yi, burst into a commotion.

"So that’s the Crown Prince? So young!"

"The Crown Prince is so handsome, more so than all the men in our village combined!"

"Crown Prince, is it true what this official said, that the Emperor is unharmed?"

"Crown Prince, is it true that the Emperor wants us to farm the land? How much land is there? I’m telling you, no matter what kind of land it is, I can manage it well, the Emperor found the right person in me!"

"Count me in as well! Though I may be dark-skinned as a medicinal lead, when it comes to farming, I’m the best, the strongest in ten villages around!"

Zhao Yi nodded to Linglong, then looked at the white-bearded elder and the black-faced man standing at the forefront of the crowd, nodding with a smile, "The Emperor is fine, and it’s true that he wants you to farm, with only one difference."

"What’s the difference?" the crowd asked eagerly.

Zhao Yi seriously said, "The Emperor wants you to farm not for him, but for yourselves!"

"The Crown Prince’s Chief Historian should have told you that the Emperor found a New World, at least a hundred times larger than Great Xia..."

"The New World has no barbarians, no creatures, only fertile farmland, where a handful of soil could practically be squeezed into oil."

"Sadly, none of us know how to farm, and the Emperor thought the land going wild with weeds was too much of a shame, so he ordered farming experts to help."

"Of course, you won’t be doing this for free!"

"The Emperor said that upon entering the New World, you could occupy land as you please, as long as you can cultivate all of it, no matter how much."

"The Emperor only asks for thirty percent of the income in the first three years, ten percent every year after three years, and after ten years, the land becomes yours."

Upon hearing this, there was an uproar in the crowd.

The white-bearded elder was astounded, "Did the Emperor really say that, there’s no barbarians or creatures in the New World?"

The black-faced man, young and vigorous, paid no heed to the calamity-causing beasts and barbarians that concerned the elder most.

His focus was on Zhao Yi’s last words.

He excitedly asked, "Crown Prince, did the Emperor really say we could occupy as much land as we want as long as we can farm it all?"

Zhao Yi smiled and nodded, "A monarch doesn’t make idle promises!"

"Every word I just said will soon be announced to the world as a Holy Decree."

"The New World has no creatures, only the people of Great Xia, so there’s no need to worry about safety. You can relax and settle there."

"As long as you can farm it all, the vast lands of the New World are yours to occupy at will!"

"Of course, if someone occupies too much land and can’t cultivate it all and ends up wasting resources, the Emperor has punitive measures for that."

The elder, hearing that there would be no creature disturbances, felt like he regained his youth by decades, already fantasizing about occupying a few hundred mu of land with his family in the New World.

Upon hearing about penalties, the elder quickly asked, "If we can’t finish farming, what will the Emperor do to punish us?"

Zhao Yi solemnly replied, "The New World doesn’t collect land tax; as long as the land is properly cultivated, not a single penny is collected by the government. However, there is a waste tax—as the abandoned land increases, so does the tax. If you can’t pay, the government will reclaim the land."

Upon hearing this, the elder quickly responded, "We can finish farming it, as long as there are no creature disturbances, we guarantee we can farm as much land as we have!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi chuckled and shook his head.

These people have no concept of a New World that’s a hundred times bigger than Great Xia.

When they arrive in the New World, they’ll find out it’s impossible to farm it all, the land in the New World can’t be fully farmed!

Zhao Yi smiled and asked, "So you’re planning to go to the New World and farm?"

Upon hearing this, everyone spoke in unison:

"Yes, we must go!"
