I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"Greetings to King Yongchang!"

When Xiao Yunzhan stepped into the front hall, people from the aristocratic families were glaring at the merchants.

The people from the aristocratic families obviously felt that it was a bit cheap to stay in the same room with the merchants.

The merchants didn't care about the dissatisfied looks of the noble families and refused to leave the front hall.

Everyone is the same now. Following the new emperor, who can say that these merchants have no chance to become aristocratic families?

They have plenty of silver, and King Yongchang will definitely need silver to fight a war.

Since they donated the silver, they naturally gained favor with King Yongchang, and they might have good fortune in the future.

After seeing Xiao Yunzhan coming in, the two groups that had been confronting each other for a long time knelt down in unison.

"No gift!"

Xiao Yunzhan raised his hand, walked to the main seat and sat down.

Everyone stood up happily and looked at each other.

An old man with gray hair stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Yunzhan.

"On behalf of the Wang family, Wang Peigang, the head of the Wang family in Pinghe City, would like to thank King Yongchang, General Long, the nine Taoist priests, and all the generals for bringing this blessing to Pinghe City from the Heavenly God Army."

"From now on, the Wang family will follow the lead of Prince Yongchang and swear allegiance to him until death."

"I swear to follow the Divine King until death. I ask King Yongchang to help convey the Wang family's gratitude to the Divine King..."

Wang Peigang became more excited as he spoke, and couldn't help but shed tears.

He and the lives of those old men in the Wang family were saved thanks to the rain from the God King.

Who could have thought that the Wang family, who had stored so much food, would end up sighing over their food shortage because they had no water to drink.

"Please take a seat, Patriarch Wang."

Xiao Yunzhan quickly stood up and helped the old and tearful Patriarch Wang to sit down.

"I will convey your gratitude to the God King for you."

The Wang family is a century-old family in Pinghe City. The family is deeply rooted and covers every aspect of Pinghe City.

With the support of the Wang family, the opposing voices in Pinghe City will not be able to cause much trouble.

"Thank you, King Yongchang!" Wang Peigang bowed to Xiao Yunzhan again with tears in his eyes.

Then he clapped his hands lightly.

The descendants of the Wang family standing behind him were carrying more than a dozen boxes and placed them in the middle of the main hall.

The merchants had already seen the boxes carried by the Wang family and had quietly sent people back to prepare some more.

Prince Yongchang is destined by heaven and will surely become the emperor of Daliang in the future.

Merchants like them only have this one chance to meet the emperor, so they have to spend more money to leave a good impression.

Without this rain, they would have died of thirst even though they had a huge fortune.

If they contribute money and food to help the Heavenly God Army, when King Yongchang ascends the throne and rewards people for their merits, their family will be able to break through the class and get rid of their identity as lowly merchants.

Wang Peigang waited until the younger generation put away all the boxes, then looked at Xiao Yunzhan with a smile on his face.

"These are gifts from the Wang family to Prince Yongchang and the generals."

"These two boxes are for General Long. I heard that General Long likes large ornaments, and Wang's warehouse happens to have two such ornaments."

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope General Long likes it..."

Wang Peigang's white beard twitched with joy, and he raised his hand and pointed at the two larger rosewood carved boxes in the front.

There are people from the Wang family in Pingliang City and Shuitian City.

The drought was so severe at the time that, seeing the words bestowed by the City God King on the streets and alleys of Pinghe City, the clan asked those descendants who could escape to go to Shuitian City to seek refuge with the God King and find a way out.

These younger generations are all young and strong, and they all joined the Heavenly God Army.

The clan found these younger generations and questioned them carefully, and it turned out that the God King liked General Long the most.

It is said that General Long has reached the level of a semi-immortal and can stand in the air.

Moreover, every time the King of Yongchang prayed for rain, it was done by the joint efforts of General Long, which shows that General Long’s status should not be underestimated.

I heard that General Long’s most capable subordinate is Lin Changshou, the leader of the Lin Family Army.

He specially took his clansmen to Lin Changshou to inquire about it.

Lin Changshou refused to accept anything they gave him, but secretly reminded him that General Long liked big things.

It is better to please King Yongchang's wife than to please him. Lin Changshou said that King Yongchang liked to discuss everything with General Long.

The meaning is obvious. The final decision may be made by General Long.

The Emperor is the Dragon Son, and Lin Yiran is directly named "General Dragon", indicating that she exists side by side with the Emperor.

They were a founding couple, and this is indeed a beautiful story.

Anyway, it's never a bad idea to give jewelry to women. In years of famine, these jewels are no different from stones, so you won't feel bad about giving them all away.
