It turned out to be true this time!
The scouts they had sent out to investigate had only just left when they saw the Prince and Princess, who had found the Yanbei Army's special imprint, come to look for them.
However, when that child made a move, they knew that they should not underestimate him. However, this was all a story for the future. What they were most happy about at this moment was the appearance of the prince and the princess ..
The future of the four nations was no longer controlled by the three great powers, Nan Jin Zhao, Ji Xin and the Sky Martial Empress.
Xiao Shaorong knew that when the Feudal Lords who occupied a region and did not have the power to challenge the entire world and knew that their King was fine, there would definitely be a lot of people who would choose to seek refuge with their King.
After all, compared to Southern Jin Zhao, Ji Xin, and the Sky Martial Queen, their royal family possessed a more domineering aura, and had the mindset and structure of a person in power.
As expected, on the third day after the news was spread, there were already people who came to seek support. Although there weren't many, this was still the first time Xiao Shaorong received them warmly, and even brought them to see the Duke.
However, more and more people came to seek help from him, so much so that even Xiao Shaorong was unable to receive all of them, much less the prince.
It wasn't that they were acting arrogantly and thinking that they were looking down on others, but there were simply too many people, and as long as there were more people, there would be a lot of things happening.
In order to maintain the stability of the army, in order to let the people who came after him not feel slighted, in order to prevent those who had pledged allegiance to him from feeling disappointed, in order to let those people assimilate into the Yanbei Army and become a part of it, Xiao Shaorong had been busy every day since he opened his eyes until midnight before he could stop ..
In just three months, Xiao Shaorong had slimmed down a lot, his eyes were completely bloodshot, but he was in high spirits. Every day, when he woke up, he would be full of spirit, his fighting spirit was high, and he did not look tired at all.
To Xiao Shaorong, even if he had to die from exhaustion, he was still willing to do it.
"Young Master Xiao .."
"Young Master Xiao!"
"Young Master Xiao, is the prince free to see us? We've been waiting for three days. "
"Three days is nothing. We have already waited for four days, yet we still have to wait." However, the four days of waiting hadn't been a loss at all. Let's take a look... "The food of the people under the prince's command, look at the spirit of the soldiers the prince brought out, they are just different from the rest of us."
"If Your Highness is willing to accept us, even if I have to start over as a soldier, I am willing. I haven't eaten a full meal in a long time. "I'm not afraid of your jokes. In the past two years, I have been eating my first meal with you, your highness."
.. ...
In the beginning, only a few great powers received the news. They had soldiers, food, and grass, and their quality was all very good. When the news of the prince returning spread and the news of him recruiting for the army was spread out, more and more people chose to seek refuge with him.
Some of these people were soldiers, some were bandits who had fallen to the grass, and some were just ordinary citizens.
These people did not seek anything else, they only wanted to have a bite to eat and a bite to eat.
When these people were also received by the Northern King, there were even elderly people, women and children who came to seek refuge. These people thought that the prince wouldn't accept them as a burden, but...
As soon as the old man, the woman, and the child arrived, they were given priority, and even before the soldiers had come to seek refuge, they ate and lived in the new house.
Of course, it wasn't that no one was dissatisfied, but the prince had sent someone to say: The old are experienced, the child is the future, the woman can not only take care of the child, but also provide rear protection for the army.
When it came to living and living in a great army, which part of it didn't require the help of a woman?
Even if these men could do it themselves, what about having children?
In these three years, the population of the four kingdoms greatly decreased. The people who died were all old people, women, and children. If he did not protect the women and children, and did not protect the elderly now, when the world calmed down, it was very likely that for a very long time, the country would not have enough people. He also didn't have any experience, so he could only show them the way.
Many people disagreed with his words. In their eyes, there were not enough women, so they could share one with him. Now that their child was gone, they could just give birth to him, but ..
The old people, the women, and the children needed the food provided by the prince, and none of them had the right to question it.
Because the prince here did not dislike the old people, women, and children are a burden. Therefore, in the later stages, more and more children, women, and elders chose to go to the prince's territory and seek refuge there.
The more people there were, the larger the territory would be, and before the King even sent out his troops, he had already taken control of thirteen cities, to which Xiao Shaorong only wanted to say ..
When no one had enough to eat, the prince would find seeds that would allow the people to cultivate and allow the people to return to normal lives.
This was their prince. While the two of them were fighting to the death, fighting for a city, and having tens of thousands of casualties, the king managed the city well, allowing the displaced people to return to a normal life and allowing the finances of the imperial government to return to normal.
With these thirteen cities as a backup, with the citizens of the city as a backup, with the thirteen cities as a trading base, and the taxes as a backup, they wouldn't need to fear fighting anyone ..
