These foreign devils are quite bold in their speech.
Chen Qing was speechless for a moment. No wonder no one in the West was willing to accept those refugees before. These guys didn't understand what it meant to be under someone's roof and have to bow your head. They hadn't even gained a foothold yet, and they were already clamoring for this and that every day. They really had no self-awareness.
"I'll go there myself later." As they were talking, the two of them had already passed through the Underworld and arrived at the Liuzhou government office, where Tian Heng was already waiting.
"My lord has finally returned?" Tian Heng looked exhausted, clearly having been extremely busy these past few days. He appeared travel-worn, indicating that the journey had been quite arduous.
"When did you get back?" Chen Qing asked curiously. She had just returned; the news shouldn't have spread yet, right?
"I was originally going to West Sea City to take care of some matters, but when I arrived in Liuzhou, I sensed your arrival, so I went to the prefectural government first."
Chen Qing nodded upon hearing this, seemingly because of the group of foreigners, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Not at all." Tian Heng smiled. He hadn't felt tired these past few days, leading his troops to sweep away demons in various regions of the Southeast Commandery. The Earth Spirit Revival, and now the whole world was in chaos. The Southeast Commandery had already suffered greatly from demons before the Southern Barbarians attacked, and everyone was living in fear.
Unlike Jiangnan, where gods protect the land and can immediately sense any demonic or strange occurrences and send people to deal with them, the Southeast Commandery, though mountainous, has not yet established Mountain God, and supernatural events are rampant throughout its villages and counties.
Before Chen Qing left, he put Chen Qing in charge of maintaining order. In order to spread the fame of the West Sea Army, Chen Qing swept away demons in various parts of the Southeast Commandery, running around and getting really tired.
However, the effect was truly remarkable. Just like the Battle God Army in Jiangnan back then, they ran themselves ragged in every village, clearing out the living corpses and risking their lives to rescue civilians, which is how they built their current reputation. Everyone is proud to join the Fighter Army.
In just half a month, the countryside in the southeast has come to respect the West Sea Army. Their reputation is growing, and they are planning to further solidify it, but then trouble arises again in the West Sea.
Wei Gongcheng sent word that the group planned to establish their own Underworld in the West Sea, creating their own jurisdiction.
His first thought was, "Have those barbarian bastards gone mad?"
However, after calming down, he hesitated for a moment because he remembered that this group of people who suddenly appeared out of nowhere seemed to have been brought by the Lord. This was very sensitive, and he seemed to need to think carefully about what to do. Fortunately, the Lord had returned, so he could ask him.
Upon entering the mansion, Chen Qing said directly, "The situation in the north is very chaotic; I need to go there."
Upon hearing this Tian Heng nodded, but in his heart he began to guess. The northern side was being defended by the Battle God Army. This year, the Central Plains was in chaos, and demons were rampant everywhere. Many people wanted to sneak into Jiangnan. The Battle God Army had to divide its troops to guard various ferry crossings in Jiangnan. Xu Hu had complained more than once about the lack of troops.
If a major operation were to be launched at this point, would it involve the West Sea Army?
However, the Southeast Commandery has not yet been fully integrated, and a large portion of his troops are still building their reputation in the countryside of the Southeast Commandery. He really doesn't want his lord to move too quickly.
But in the end, he still asked, "Does Your Majesty require my troops to assist you?"
Chen Qing glanced at Tian Heng, clearly knowing that the other party was extremely unwilling to divide his forces, but the fact that he took the initiative to speak up at this time showed that he was quite sensible.
"Not for now, but you should be prepared, the West Sea needs to recruit soldiers."
"Recruiting soldiers?" Tian Heng was taken aback.
He had refrained from large-scale conscription for fear of controversy. Now that his soldiers in the West Sea Dragon Palace were under his control, their Power of Faith even surpassed that of Xu Hu's forces. Wasn't he afraid of becoming too powerful if he continued to increase his troops at this time?
" The West Sea needs a large-scale migration, requiring more troops to maintain order. Your current forces are far from sufficient, and to increase their strength, the West Sea Dragon Palace forces must be revived as soon as possible."
"Immigrants from the West Sea?" Tian Heng was stunned. No one wanted to go to the West Sea Archipelago anymore. The northern people had been staying in Jiangnan for a long time and were increasingly unwilling to go to sea. Even if they refused, they would not go to sea. Several islands had to withdraw again due to insufficient people and live together in an island nation.
Where did the large-scale migration of people come from?
Suddenly, Tian Heng remembered something—the souls that had inexplicably been reborn during those days.
He had actually wanted to know for a long time where those living souls came from.
"First, we should try to migrate people from the southeast. We can also help some refugees from the Central Plains. They should all head to the West Sea Island. After that, a large number of souls will be reincarnated, and the population will grow rapidly."
According to Chen Qing's estimate, the 60 million reincarnations over there need to be implemented as soon as possible. At least another 30 million people need to be transferred over. As long as the population density is high and everyone has three children, the reincarnation task can be completed.
In ancient times, the more children one had, the happier one was. It's not like modern times, where having just one child would cause a huge uproar.
"May I ask, my lord, what is the origin of those living souls?" Tian Heng finally couldn't help but ask.
"I'll tell you later," Chen Qing said with a smile. "You don't need to worry about a large number of reincarnated souls causing unrest. The reincarnated souls will have their memories erased, just like the people here, so no one will notice."
Hearing Chen Qing say this, Tian Heng finally felt a little relieved. If a large number of children reincarnated with their memories were to appear, it would likely cause great panic.
"Regarding those unreasonable demands, well... if you go there yourself, I won't go. I need to get back to the north soon anyway."
Upon hearing this, Tian Heng quickly replied, "What does Your Majesty wish me to do?"
"Of course, we'll give them a good talking-to." Chen Qing laughed. "Do you really think we should just give in to those clueless bastards and open a Underworld for them? Wei Gongcheng will be going with you this time. The Underworld in the West Sea is still undecided, so Wei Gongcheng will be in charge for now. If they cause trouble, they have two choices: either they obediently reincarnate into the superior race they admire, or they are expelled from the Underworld and become wandering ghosts on the Yin-Yang Road!"

In the West Sea region, most of the foreigners were settled in a relatively remote place called Jasper Silk Island, which was also the former Jasper Silk Kingdom. The reason for this was that the island had the most surviving foreign people, which better met their requirements.
Because the new Underworld had not yet arrived, they did not reincarnate immediately upon arriving on the island, and thus had the opportunity to wander around the island as spirits.
It wouldn't have been a problem if it hadn't been shaking for a while, but after it started shaking for a while, I started to regret my choice even more!
It turns out that the West Sea Kingdoms once experienced a catastrophe similar to Resident Evil, which resulted in the near extinction of their excellent colorless race. Even on Jasper Silk Island today, there are fewer than 10,000 surviving colorless people, making them a distinct minority.
The number of newly relocated yellow-skinned monkeys on the island is well over 500,000.
Furthermore, the yellow-skinned monkeys in this world seem to have a high opinion of themselves and look down on the white people. In just six months since they moved here, they have pushed the original inhabitants of the island to the margins.
The indigenous people dared not speak out, not only because the other side had more people and power, but more importantly, both the government and the military seemed to favor the Central Plains people, so no matter whether they were right or wrong, it was always your fault.
The law is openly unfair!
For example, in a recent case, if a man from the Central Plains raped a white woman, he would be flogged fifty times and imprisoned for three years. However, if a white man raped a woman from the Central Plains, he would be castrated and sentenced to death. This barbaric practice aroused their dissatisfaction at the time.
After witnessing various legal cases, they realized that the status of colorless people in this world seemed to be lower than they had imagined.
