Chapter 365: A thousand years have passed, are you well?

Within the territory of Yunzhou, the migrating Demon race entered the city in a mighty manner.

Demon Crown Prince Ye Han divided them into areas and arranged them into the five major commanderies of Yunzhou according to claws, scales, feathers, and fur.

These Demon race commoners who fled to the Snow Region for a thousand years because of their ancestors' migration were actually already several generations later. Their understanding of the Nine Continents was only obtained from the storybooks and dramas passed down within the clan.

And when they saw this lush spring with their own eyes, as well as the wild flowers blooming everywhere and the new buds thrown by the tender willows, they were all shocked.

For a time, the shouts of "Long live the Demon Emperor, the Demon race will last forever" resounded throughout the land.

"Arrange for the Demon clansmen to move in according to their needs, and then report to the clan for registration."

"In addition, order the Xuan Demon to withdraw five people from the front line, each leading five hundred soldiers, to go to the commandery city to maintain order, so as not to cause large-scale fighting."

In Bai Hua City, Demon Crown Prince Ye Han issued orders to the officials beside him.

The Demon race has simple folk customs, and private fighting is allowed within the clan, which is also the reason why the Demon race has been able to maintain its bloodline for thousands of years.

But the private fighting in the Demon race's laws refers to individual versus individual, not group versus group.

Ye Han sent people to guard, also because he was worried that the blood-filled Demon commoners would have major conflicts based on groups because of fighting for land and housing.

Individual versus individual fighting nourishes bloodline, but group versus group will hurt harmony.

The imperial official who recorded the order hurriedly carved the order on bamboo chips, and just after carving the last word, he heard the voice of the Crown Prince again.

"Notify the Feather race and the Scale race, and order them to lead the craftsmen in the clan, and after reorganization, go to Bai Hua City to see me, to build the Demon City and the Emperor's palace for the Majesty."

"Respectfully follow the imperial order."

The official responsible for recording the order bowed slightly, then withdrew from the Demon Crown Prince, and ran to issue the order hurriedly.

Seeing this scene, Ye Han turned around and returned to the courtyard where he lived.

After the commoners migrated, many things needed to be planned.

Especially Yunzhou, which relies on mineral deposits but does not engage in production, and mineral deposits are actually the most useless for them at the current stage.

What they need most is to immediately reclaim land and plant crops.

But for the Demon race that has lived in the Snow Region for a thousand years, they are not good at this kind of thing, so how to plan is a key.

The living environment has changed, and everything will change accordingly. The policies that were suitable before are no longer applicable now. What should be deleted should be deleted, what should be abolished should be abolished, and what should be added should be added. This is the first test he faces in inheriting the throne.

He sat in front of the desk, looking at the slightly gloomy sky outside the window, and fell into thought.

At this moment, the servant in the mansion walked quickly toward the house.

"Crown Prince."

"What is it?"

"Princess is back."

Hearing this, Ye Han stood up from behind the desk, then walked out of the door and walked toward the courtyard next to him.

This elegant garden was specially prepared by Ye Han for her. It was once an immortal garden under the name of the Yunzhou Spirit Stone Merchant House. The landscape was exquisite, with winding water and flowing cups. Although various plants and flowers had not yet bloomed, it was already considered lush compared to the Snow Region.

When he came to the human race before, he had brought back several kinds of flowers for his sister, but unfortunately, they didn't survive. At that time, he said he would take her to see the human race, and now it could be considered as fulfilling his promise.

Sure enough, at this moment, Princess Fengyang was sitting on the stone bridge of the courtyard lake, her legs dangling in the air, a pair of snow-white feet curled up like pearls, gently tapping the water, while her gaze scanned the surroundings.

"Princess Fengyang."

A soft call, Princess Fengyang turned to look at Ye Han: "Big Brother, long time no see."

Ye Han looked at her: "You really broke through."

"It's all thanks to Big Brother and Father Emperor."

"Strength is yourself, it has nothing to do with us. You treat clansmen in the clinic every day, and your cultivation can still be so refined, which really makes Big Brother ashamed."

Ye Han looked at his sister with a shallow smile, then his eyes suddenly turned: "By the way, I saw Xiao Rou when I came, she said you went out for a stroll, I am a bit puzzled, where did you go?"

Princess Fengyang's eyelashes trembled upon hearing this: "Just entered the Nine Continents, felt everything was novel, walked to the northern border and couldn't move my feet, so I stayed for a while."

"Only at the northern border?"

"I am unfamiliar with the Nine Continents, where else could I specially go?"

Hearing this, Ye Han didn't say anything more, but turned to look at the pavilion on the south side of the courtyard: "Is the house cleaned up?"

Princess Fengyang turned to look at the house: "Xiao Rou is taking people to clean it up. This house seems to have not been lived in for a long time."

"It's true that it hasn't been lived in for a long time. After our Demon race invaded the Nine Continents last year, the people here all fled. Go to my place first, and Big Brother will make you a cup of tea."

"Human tea?"

Ye Han nodded: "A flower tea fried with jasmine, it has a unique flavor."

Princess Fengyang nodded lightly upon hearing this, put on her shoes, took a step, and followed her brother to the courtyard next door.

Yunzhou, which had just rained, did not have bright light. Ye Han poured hot water into the tea cup. As the color deepened, a fragrance of flowers gradually spread.

Smelling this smell, Princess Fengyang was a bit surprised, her beautiful vertical pupils flickering.

"Even petals can be fried into tea leaves, didn't expect it? Are you still puzzled why Big Brother has always advocated returning to the Nine Continents?"

"But the soldiers who died on the battlefield can't drink it." Princess Fengyang whispered.

"But their descendants can drink it, this is the meaning." Ye Han raised his hand and handed the tea to Princess Fengyang.

War will kill people, and it is labor-intensive and money-wasting, which is also the reason why Princess Fengyang has always been anti-war.

But looking at the Nine Continents, compared to the barren Snow Region, how could she not hope that her clansmen could live in such a place.

Seeing that her sister did not oppose this, Ye Han couldn't help but smile, and then served all kinds of human tea and snacks he had collected, introducing them to her one by one.

At this moment, the servant who reported Princess Fengyang's return came to the house again, followed by a soldier stationed at the border.

That person handed over a post, and then hurriedly left. 【3

Princess Fengyang had already finished the tea in her cup by this time; seeing this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the post in her elder brother's hand.

"The Fang family of Zhongzhou?"

"A noble family backed by the human immortal sect, the Heavenly Academy, here to request to purchase spirit stones from our demon race."

"Young Master, those immortals have always been greedy. If this continues, I fear there will be no end to it. Nine warehouses have had five emptied; even our Fengzhou will have a hard time, and many people will have to tighten their belts."

Seeing this, Princess Fengyang stretched out her jade hand and took out the posts one by one, discovering that these posts were all from noble families in various human provinces, and even from the five great immortal sects; some of the posts were even dated from the time of the war.

"We invaded the Nine Provinces, and the humans are actually still willing to trade with us?" Princess Fengyang was somewhat surprised.

"This is the baseness of the human race."

Ye Han placed a checkmark on the Fang family's post and set it on the table: "When we thoroughly conquered Yunzhou, I sent word to the humans, expressing a willingness to sell them spirit stones. At the time, the humans cursed incessantly, but very few people knew that I received countless purchase requests that very night, including those from the human immortal sects."

"The previous Yunzhou did not engage in production, but our demon race has moved a large number of citizens into the territory, and we need food and produce."

"They probably feel that under the deterrence of the holy artifacts, our demon race and the barbarian race dare not move south, and they need spirit stones for cultivation and seeking the Dao, so this kind of trade has been going on privately for a long time."

"After entering the Nine Provinces, the barbarian race traveling with us must be guarded against. After all, how can one allow others to snore beside one's bed? Trading with the humans is a good choice, as it allows us to gauge the timing accurately while avoiding being attacked from both sides."

Ye Han poured tea for Princess Fengyang: "We are only temporarily lacking food, but the humans will always lack spirit stones, so our demon race will always be one step ahead of the barbarians, and we can also check and divide the humans."

The entire Yunzhou, plus half of the northern territory, was already large enough in terms of area for the citizens of the demon race to live.

And multiplying and expanding the population of the tribe requires time.

Under these circumstances, they were not in a hurry to continue the war and open up new territories, but rather needed to take root in Yunzhou.

They all knew clearly that Fengzhou was being crazily bled dry.

In Ye Han's planning, it was even possible for demon descendants to seek the Dao in immortal sects in the future.

Humans have a very short memory; before long, everyone will feel that Yunzhou should have been the territory of the demon race all along.

This is a struggle between tribes that will span countless generations.

This time, every step the demon race takes must be exceptionally cautious to avoid working in vain as they did a thousand years ago.

But besides all this, there was one more important matter they could not confirm.

Thinking of this, Ye Han could not help but look up at the night sky.

Heaven's will—who knows where it will fall.

BOOM!!!!

Just as he was pondering, a strong pressure suddenly came from the north to the south, shaking the houses and making the roof tiles rattle.

The brother and sister immediately narrowed their eyes, walked outside, and looked toward the northwest.

They saw that in the distant sky, there seemed to be a smear of viscous darkness, deep and boundless, carrying a majestic aura that caused dust and sand to roll and wild winds to howl over the northern territory.

Like the demon race, the barbarian race also chose to migrate their people during this period when spring had just arrived.

And the pressure represented by this was the Barbarian Emperor arriving in person.
