Chapter 1096 – A Great Difference
In the past half a month, apart from civil servants who came over to Great Xia, a bunch of generals also came over.
The greatest surprise was that they had attracted an amazing family – the Yang family. One must know that Mu Guiying’s presence was designed by Gaia based on dramatizations of history.
The Yang family in such dramatizations was a family that was really good at fighting.
Yang Ye swept Yanmen with a golden blade in his hand, his prestige shocking the northern country. Every time he led the troops, he would carry a red flag.
His wife, She Saihua, would hold a white flag.
Next would be his seven sons and one adopted son, who were known as the eight tigers who fell during the battle of the golden beach.
The eldest son Yang Tai used a golden spear made by Qu Lu. He married Hua Jieyu, and his second wife was Zhou Yunjing. During the battle of the golden beach, he died under the hands of the Song prince. He had once shot the Liang prince to death.
The second son was Yang Yong, who used an eight treasures golden spear. He married Geng Jinhua, and his second wife was Zou Lanxiu. To protect his brothers whilst they escaped the encirclement during the battle, he was chopped down.
Third brother Yang Xun used the transparent thread golden spear, and his wife was Dong Yue’er. During the battle, he died when his horse stepped into mud.
Fourth brother Yang Gui used the chrysanthemum golden spear, and he married Meng Jinbang. During the battle, he was captured, changing his surname. When he went to visit his mother in law 15 years later, he helped Song to win against Liao, earning great merit and being able to have a family reunion. He was the only one out of all of them to have a long life.
Fifth brother Yang Chun. He used a solo horn spear, and his wife was Ma Saiying. After the battle, he turned to Buddhism when he was injured, becoming a monk on Wutai Mountain. He was later kicked out of the mountain.
Sixth brother Yang Jing married Zhao Yuanyan’s infanta Chai Meirong, and he was the only one out of them to return to the country after the battle. In the end, he died from an illness.
The seventh brother Yan Xi used a tiger head golden spear, and his wife was called Huyan Chijin.
Eighth brother Yan Shun was the god son of Yang Ye and married Cai Xiuying.
The next generation would be the eldest son of the sixth brother Yang Zhongbao and his wife Mu Guiying. Even their son, Yang Wenguang, was a famous general.
To take care of the Yang family, Ouyang Shuo specially made an order to build a Tianbo Yang manor and ordered Yang Ye, his wife, and all their children to live in it.
As for the sons, they were appointed in the military, and all of them became Major Generals.
The arrival of the Yang family made Shanhai City really exciting, and many players rushed over to see them. Even the Mountain and Sea Entertainment Holdings were prepared to film a movie for the Yang family.
Apart from them, during this month, Shanhai City also welcomed a batch of men from the Water Margin.
The 1st was ‘Jade Qilin’ Lu Junyi. This person had a pair of shining eyes, and his brows formed a chinese eight character. He exuded confidence and strength like that of a soldier from heaven. He used a stick and had an exceptional body protection technique. He was the top general of Water Margin.
Along with Lu Junyi was his servant, Yan Qing.
Next would be Hua Rong, who used a silver spear. He had a pair of handsome eyes, white teeth and red lips, and huge muscles such that his arms could not rest on his body. He wore a silver armor and was good at riding horses and shooting bows.
These three were all sent to the military, either acting as Major Generals or vanguard officials.
Apart from them would be Yuan Xiao’er, Yuan Xiao’wu, and Yuan Xiao’qi, these three brothers who were arranged to the navy. The ‘Magic Traveler’ Tai Zong was arranged to work in the Shanhai Guards.
Water Margin had many men with their own talents, but not all of them had to be placed in the military.
Based on the news that the Shanhai Guards had found out about, apart from the above few, there were still many Liangshan men who lived within Great Xia including Hua Heshang and Wu Song. However, they did not decide to join the military.
Ouyang Shuo did not force them and allowed them to live their lives as they wished.
However, since they were not willing to work for Great Xia, in the future, they should not hope for him to bring them to Planet Hope. Only when one contributes would one get any returns, and there was no free lunch in the world.
The above people mentioned were only the representative figures who came to Great Xia.
Not only during this month, but along with Great Xia getting more and more famous and also obtaining the orthodoxy of China, in the future, there would only be more and more historical talents who choose to move in.
At this stage, Great Xia did not need to seek talents, and they would come over by themselves.
At this point, the foundation talent bottleneck of Great Xia was solved, and even if Great Xia continued to expand, with this huge talent store in China, they would not be able to finish using them.
However, with their arrival, the Great Xia system became more and more complicated.
No one was perfect, and each historical talent had its pros and cons. They could be selfish, corrupt, power hungry, or placed family over the dynasty…
Furthermore, they were all born from different eras and had different ways of thinking. It was like a huge pot of ingredients mashed together.
How to make them adapt to one another was a big problem.
No matter how Ouyang Shuo defended against it or how perfect the system he designed was, new layers and factions would be born, and segregation would occur.
This was inevitable, and Ouyang Shuo could not stop it.
If Ouyang Shuo used brute force or martial arts to forcefully suppress them to dismantle all these layers, it would only end out in a lose-lose situation and drag Great Xia down.
On the contrary, Ouyang Shuo could only follow the flow and borrow this wave to push the boat that was Great Xia forwards. At most, Ouyang Shuo could only ensure that Great Xia would not go off course.
If Great Xia was a squadron riding the waves, then Ouyang Shuo was only on the flagship. Around it, there were many tens of thousands of small boats.
They were the protection of the flagship, and he also relied on them for his safety.
Both of them relied on one another.
In such a huge system, even if Ouyang Shuo had absolute power, he would not be able to pay attention to every matter.
Luckily, Great Xia had a really efficient system, the strongest Cabinet lineup in history, and an unparalleled army that could face any challenge.
What Ouyang Shuo needed was a little patience, enough patience.
Lao Zi once said, “Ruling a country was like cooking.”
To Ouyang Shuo, he had entered a new growth phase and needed to be even more open-hearted and magnanimous. He needed to have even further foresight and become even bolder and more determined to continue forward.
Once Ouyang Shuo got passed this hole, he would be largely different.
