Chapter 103: Convening the Meeting

Government Affairs Hall

Morax sat in his own room, with a pile of unprocessed documents before him.

"Yo! Morax, working so diligently?"

Jiang Yan pushed the door open and walked in.

Morax gave Jiang Yan a casual glance.

"What is it?"

Jiang Yan found a seat, sat down across from Morax, and said:

"There is indeed something. Uh, gather the Zhongxiankai Society for me, I have things to say."

"Oh?"

Morax grew interested.

"Tell me the details."

In the past, it was always Morax who had matters to attend to before gathering the Zhongxiankai Society. Now that Jiang Yan wanted Morax to gather them, there must be something going on.

That said, this was the first time Jiang Yan had proactively asked Morax to convene the Zhongxiankai Society.

Naturally, this piqued Morax's interest.

"It's a secret, but it's definitely good news."

As Jiang Yan spoke, Morax thought it over and sized Jiang Yan up and down.

"You brat, what scheme are you cooking up now?"

Hearing Morax's words, Jiang Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, so in your heart I'm just a person full of schemes now, right?"

Morax thought about it seriously, then nodded.

This left Jiang Yan utterly speechless.

"Alright, I've got what you said. Anything else?"

Morax spoke softly. Jiang Yan shook his head and stood up.

"Nothing else. I'll wait for your news."

With that, Jiang Yan walked out.

That afternoon, Morax gathered the Zhongxiankai Society and convened a meeting.

When the Zhongxiankai Society members, along with Lady Guizhong, Rex Lapis, and others, arrived at the meeting room, they saw Morax seated at a lower table, while Jiang Yan occupied the main seat.

This startled everyone.

"Little Jiang Yan, what's this about?"

Lady Guizhong asked, somewhat puzzled.

The others also turned questioning gazes toward Morax.

"This meeting was called at my request."

Morax said nothing, closing his eyes in thought—a tacit acknowledgment of Jiang Yan's words.

Everyone nodded. Whether it was Jiang Yan or Morax, since a meeting had been called, there must be something to discuss.

Then, once everyone was seated, Jiang Yan cleared his throat and began:

"Everyone, I went to the gathering place of the common folk today and discovered some problems."

"Combined with some issues that have arisen among ourselves, I have a few proposals here that I'd like to discuss with you."

Morax slowly opened his eyes, and Lady Guizhong, Liuyun, and the others exchanged glances.

All eyes converged on Jiang Yan, waiting for him to continue.

Jiang Yan looked at the crowd, drew a piece of paper from his bosom, and said:

"First, the issue of the Guili Plains common folk."

"Due to the war, half of the current Guili Plains has been damaged."

"Almost the vast majority of the Guili Plains' populace is crammed into this remaining half."

"For now it's manageable, but in the long run, overpopulation will inevitably cause damage to the remaining half of the Guili Plains."

"I believe all of you have already realized this."

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun nodded—this was also a headache for her, Guchen Langshi, and the others.

"So, I plan to relocate part of the Guili Plains' population. What are your thoughts?"

"This issue you've raised, Lady Guizhong and I have already discussed it."

Guchen Langshi Zhenjun spoke up.

"Relocation is a major undertaking, and choosing a suitable location is also a vexing problem."

"It's not just about choosing a suitable place—whether the people are willing is also a big issue."

Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun also spoke.

"Leaving a place they've lived for many years—many people are unwilling to do that."

Jiang Yan nodded. This was exactly the effect he wanted!

Many hands make light work. Only by discussing together can his plan become increasingly refined.

"Then Ah Yan, since you've brought it up, do you have a suitable proposal?"

Little Ganyu understood Jiang Yan well after all. Since Jiang Yan had spoken up, he naturally had his own solution.
