I Have No Qualifications, The System Asked Me To Marry A Wife To Practice

Many people finally recalled the initial purpose for which Chu Shen had gathered them.

"Master Chu, are you saying..." Mr. Hong asked on behalf of the others, inquiring about Chu Shen's thoughts.

Chu Shen looked around and said, "I will boldly speak some unpleasant words. Those who believe in me shall gather their strength and act together, while those who do not believe in me may disperse."

Realizing that the meeting was about to begin, the crowd exchanged glances and spoke up one after another, "Please enlighten us, Master Chu!"

Chu Shen tapped the map of the territory of the Great Flame Immortal Dynasty and said, "Currently, natural disasters are frequent, and chaos reigns in the court and the country. This is the time for a great change. The displaced people are everywhere, without a sense of security, and all industries are declining without anyone to revive them.

If someone is willing to take action, to strive for change, and to transform this gloomy and sorrowful world, it is only right for us to contribute some wealth. Unfortunately, the officials in the Zhou Prefecture are heartless and merciless. They are like a warning to others, and the people are filled with righteous indignation. The land is filled with sorrow, but their hearts are as hard as iron.

I do not mean to belittle them, but even the esteemed officials in the court cannot be relied upon. Even if you and I have considerable family wealth, we are only seen as pieces of meat on the chopping block."

After hearing these words, no matter what they had thought before, the crowd now seemed to have a sense of unity and determination. They looked at Chu Shen with solemn expressions.

Chu Shen continued, "The situation is turbulent, yet no one is taking charge. This is a sign of the end times, and the future is likely to become worse: there will be more displaced people, the situation will become more dangerous, and we must prepare for it in advance!"

"Master Chu, what should we do?" someone asked.

Some people thought that Chu Shen was preparing to lead them in rebellion. Although they were anxious, they couldn't help but feel eager to try.

Others were more rational. Although the situation was bad, it didn't warrant rebellion. Moreover, Chu Shen didn't seem to be inciting them to rebel, but rather presenting the facts to make them see the situation clearly.

Everyone waited quietly for Chu Shen's next words.

Chu Shen looked at everyone in the room and said, "I want to say that building high walls, stockpiling food, and helping the people is not being stingy with money and resources. It is about saving ourselves."

"Do you all remember last year when I gathered everyone together and we focused on the Yufu Lu project? Through mutual cooperation and upgrading various industries, not only did we make a fortune, but we also changed the situation in Nanping City, right?"

Many people breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, they were also filled with anticipation. They wondered if Chu Gongzi was going to lead them to wealth again.

Chu Shen could tell what these people were thinking just by looking at their expressions. He slightly curved his lips and said, "Now, perhaps we are going to do something similar again. However, this time, it won't be Yufu Lu, but something even more difficult to achieve. But once we succeed, I guarantee that everyone will receive tremendous rewards."

"I don't know about all of you, but I am willing to follow me," Chu Shen asked.

"Chu Gongzi, no matter what project it is, as long as it's proposed by you, I'm in!" someone replied.

"I'm not in it for the money. I purely admire Chu Gongzi's abilities, so count me in!" another person chimed in.

"I'm in, in, in! Those who aren't in, get lost!" someone else exclaimed.

"..."

The group of opportunists had their eyes turn red.

Chu Shen, however, remained calm.

Everything he did was just to guide the situation and ultimately create a better environment for himself.

...

"So, this is your 'comprehensive solution' to solve the problems of the Taiping Sect, Nanping City, and the refugees?"

When Chu Shen approached Cheng Suwei and showed her a series of plans, the young girl was surprised and somewhat conflicted.

Surprised by the fact that his plan is beneficial to all parties involved.

Conflicted because she felt that the Taiping Sect seemed to be at a disadvantage in this process.

The plan is actually quite simple: to launch an agricultural revolution in Nanping City, with the Taiping Sect providing the technology, the gentry of Nanping City investing, and the farmers and refugees of Nanping City contributing their labor. Ultimately, the land of Nanping City will be reshaped in a similar way to the Lingtian cultivation fields, in order to improve overall production capacity.

In other words, he wants to promote what he has done in the Taiping Sect to the entire Nanping City.

This will greatly enhance the level of agricultural infrastructure construction in Nanping City, increase the yield of various crops, and as long as there is enough food, Nanping City can at least maintain a relatively stable environment, thus avoiding any uncontrollable dangers for him and the Chu family.

However, compared to the money invested by the gentry and the labor contributed by the people, what the Taiping Sect brings is tangible cultivation techniques, which belong to the "cross-era" level for mortal society and are of immeasurable value.

Although Cheng Suwei doesn't have a patent mindset, she is influenced by the "distinction between immortals and mortals" ideology of this era and world. Previously, when used on the land owned by the Taiping Sect, it was considered "internal digestion" for the mortals under the jurisdiction of the Taiping Sect to learn and use it. Now, when it is to be promoted to mortal society, it naturally feels somewhat uncomfortable.

Chu Shen smiled understandingly, "In essence, this is no different from allowing the tenants of the Taiping Sect to use it. It's just that in the past, the basis for granting the tenants of the Taiping Sect the right to use it was the tenant contract, and now it is given to others based on money and other things.

Perhaps you still don't value these worldly possessions, but you cannot deny that both the Taiping Sect and other cultivation sects mostly need these worldly possessions as materials to maintain the operation of their sects.

If that's the case, why must we separate the immortal and mortal realms so clearly and deny the connection between the two?"

Cheng Suwei frowned and thought for a while before shaking her head, "Although I still feel that there is more to your words, I won't oppose it.

You're right, if our Taiping Sect is one of those sects that clearly separate themselves from the mortal realm, then of course we don't need to consider having more interactions with mortals.

But in reality, our Tai Ping Sect is based in the mortal world and is a sect that practices in the secular realm. Clinging to the distinction between immortals and mortals is somewhat outdated.

Moreover..."

She looked at Chu Shen and sweetly smiled, "Since you brought it up, it definitely won't be detrimental to me and the Tai Ping Sect. I trust you!"

Chu Shen was momentarily stunned, feeling a warm current flow through his heart, but he said, "Are you using your 'special effects' again? So dazzling!"

Cheng Suwei wrinkled her beautiful nose and said, "No way, it sounds like I often tease you."

"Really?"

"No!"

"Then I must have been mistaken. Maybe it's because you've become more beautiful recently?"

"Oh, are you praising me?"

"If you say so!"

"..."

The young couple, relieved of pressure, once again indulged in their affectionate banter, the sour smell of love permeating the air. It's unknown how many people gritted their teeth and seethed with envy.
