Chapter 242: Great Virtuous Teacher

Since Qin Guo became powerful through the Shang Yang Reforms, as a neighboring country, Han Guo did not know how many times it had suffered from Qin Guo's attacks and plunder. In the hearts of ordinary Han Guo citizens, the people of Qin Guo were all tiger-and-wolf-like thugs, vicious and evil people.

Almost every war initiated by Qin Guo caused many Han Guo families to be destroyed and displaced, suffering much pain.

As a result, this time, the Qin army led by Wang Yi exceeded their expectations.

After the land where they lived was occupied by the Qin army, they all thought that a nightmare awaited them. As a result, not only did the Qin army not harass them, but they even took the initiative to provide relief.

This great drought had affected countless people, plunging them into a grain crisis.

It was said that Qin Guo was also suffering from a great drought. As a result, not only did the Qin army not plunder the little remaining grain in their homes, but they also took the initiative to distribute grain and provisions to save them from famine.

This behavior could not help but change the views of many lower-class Han Guo citizens toward Qin Guo.

It seemed that Qin Guo was not as terrible as imagined?

Moreover, it was said that the people living in the lands previously occupied by Qin Guo also lived quite well... In any case, it would not be worse than the current Han Guo.

If these people were living and working in peace and contentment in Han Guo, and their lives were happy and fulfilling, they obviously would not have such thoughts.

But because of the drought, they could barely survive in their own country. Since there was no situation worse than the current one, when Qin Guo showed them kindness and gave them hope, their perceptions also changed.

The purpose of the army led by Wang Yi was to destroy Han Guo in one battle; the main task was not to provide relief to disaster victims, so he only managed the affairs of the disaster victims when he happened to encounter them.

The specific disaster relief work was the responsibility of the Qin Guo officials who arrived in Han Guo territory later.

After a conversation between Su Xuan and Seeing Ying Zheng, Seeing Ying Zheng not only intended to take this opportunity to destroy Han Guo, but also planned to take advantage of the drought to win over the hearts of the Han Guo people.

Although this move would bring a heavy burden to Qin Guo, which was also suffering from the drought, it would be worth it if they could win over the hearts of most of the Han Guo people.

In addition to the Qin Guo army and the subsequent officials coming to provide disaster relief, under Su Xuan's order, the Yin-Yang School also walked out of Lishan and arrived in Han Guo to participate in the disaster relief work.

The disciples of the Yin-Yang School were proficient in Yin-Yang arts, but in the past, Yin-Yang arts were a means for them to fight and attack enemies. Because during the era of Donghuang Taiyi, he always wanted to surpass the Daoist School, making the Yin-Yang School the head of the Hundred Schools of Thought. And the simplest way to surpass the Daoist School was for their experts to be stronger than those of the Daoist School.

But that was the Yin-Yang School of the Donghuang Taiyi era. The current Yin-Yang School was controlled by Su Xuan, and the Sect Master styled himself as the Xuantian Dao Lord.

In Su Xuan's view, besides attacking and killing enemies, Yin-Yang arts could actually be used in the daily lives of the people.

Just like this disaster relief.

Water-type Yin-Yang arts could condense water vapor in the air to create clear spring water out of thin air. Fire-type Yin-Yang arts could create flames; although they were not of much use during a drought, they could be used to start fires to boil water. After all, once a disaster occurred, there would inevitably be an epidemic. To avoid an epidemic, it was best to avoid drinking raw water and drink more hot water.

As for the rest, Wood-type Yin-Yang arts could quickly catalyze the growth of plants. If cultivated to the extreme, they could grow autumn orchids on flat ground. Although this move would consume a lot of internal energy from the practitioner, at critical moments, it could quickly catalyze the seeds carried on one's person to be used as emergency food.

Earth-type Yin-Yang arts were not very useful when used alone during disaster relief. They could only be used in conjunction with Fire-type and Water-type arts to boil water, or to cooperate with Wood-type Yin-Yang arts to make the land more fertile, allowing the catalyzed plants to grow more maturely.

Comparatively speaking, the disciples of the Gold Department of the Yin-Yang School performed the best this time.

The Gold Department was good at alchemy and medicine. Although their attacking methods were average among the five departments, when the drought led to an epidemic, their methods of alchemy and medicine truly saved many people's lives. ===== CHAPTER 244 =====
