Chapter 253 Deputy Village Chief Meng Xuanjun
Wu Heyi's eyes widened in astonishment. He never imagined that this seemingly unremarkable little village had a total population of nearly ten thousand!
Even more surprisingly, the male-to-female ratio here has remained stable at six to four for a long time.
However, when Wu Heyi took a closer look at the living conditions in the village, he found that they were completely different from those in his own village.
All that could be seen were dilapidated, drafty thatched huts, which were meant to house ten people living together.
It is no exaggeration to say that such a dilapidated house could be reduced to nothing in an instant by just a slightly strong gust of wind.
In this way, Wu Heyi walked around and stopped frequently, and in no time he had roughly figured out the situation of the entire Mengxuanjun Village.
After careful consideration, he decisively issued the order:
Everyone must relocate immediately! After all, their own village is far more advanced than this place in terms of both infrastructure and living conditions.
Initially, Mengxuanjun planned to have all the villagers bring enough dry rations before setting off, but Wuheyi waved his hand and shouted:
"Everyone should travel light and not carry too much food!"
We can easily obtain the food we need by hunting along the way.
If everyone is carrying heavy packs, it will greatly hinder our large-scale migration!
After all, there are quite a few people gathered here!
A rough calculation shows that there are nearly 10,000 people.
Taking such a large group of people on a long journey is no easy task.
Carrying too much luggage and supplies will not only slow down the movement, but will also likely place a heavy burden on the entire team.
Some people still held onto a sliver of hope, fantasizing that they could take all the valuables in their homes with them.
However, when they learned that they couldn't do that, their dissatisfaction and resentment erupted like a volcano.
Displeasure was evident on their faces, and they muttered various complaints.
However, no matter how much resentment everyone felt, it was definitely no match for Mengxuanjun's anger at this moment.
His furrowed brows and sharp eyes seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
Faced with this situation, everyone could only silently choose to obey the arrangements.
Surprisingly, this large and well-equipped team successfully reached the next village from their original residence in just one day.
It has to be said, that speed is nothing short of incredible!
Upon arrival at their destination, Wu Heyi immediately directed his men to take over the population led by Meng Xuanjun.
This task is no simple matter; just figuring out how to rationally allocate these newcomers has given those in charge a real headache.
After intense discussions and careful planning, a relatively complete plan was finally formulated. However, even so, it still took a lot of time to complete the entire population allocation work, several hours in total.
However, new problems soon followed.
Because the number of people Wu Heyi brought back far exceeded the village's original housing capacity, the village had to face the urgent situation of expansion once again.
That very evening, at the grand bonfire party, this thorny issue was fully exposed.
The villagers sat around a roaring bonfire, enjoying the food and the joyful atmosphere while anxiously discussing how to settle down in the future.
With such a large population, the demand for food is simply staggering!
Soon, food shortages inevitably emerged.
Looking at this scene, Wu Heyi felt a pang of embarrassment. He pondered to himself:
Perhaps I really took too big a step this time.
Although they successfully brought back a powerful tribe, they also brought back many troublesome issues brought about by the tribe.
As various problems arose one after another, Wu Heyi did not back down but faced them head-on, solving them one by one.
However, by the time all the problems were resolved, half a year had already passed.
After this long and arduous journey, the tribe that has now merged with Wuheyi and Mengxuanjun has finally embarked on the road to self-sufficiency.
During these six months, the two of them not only did not stop their cultivation, but became even more diligent and hardworking.
More importantly, under their persistent guidance in cultivation, the strength of everyone in the tribe has been greatly improved, rising by several levels.
It was under these circumstances that Mengxuanjun's extraordinary abilities gradually became apparent.
It should be understood that large-scale hunting activities are clearly not a long-term solution, as the number of spirit beasts available for hunting in the surrounding areas is ultimately limited.
If Wu Heyi allowed Soul Masters to hunt Soul Beasts on a large scale simply because the tribe's population had a huge demand for Soul Rings, it would very likely cause the Soul Beasts in the surrounding area of the village to face annihilation, or even be on the verge of extinction.
This would severely damage the surrounding ecosystem, plunging it into an abyss of devastation.
While this approach may allow villages to achieve their goals temporarily, from a longer-term perspective, it will undoubtedly bring many hidden dangers and negative consequences.
After all, once an ecosystem is severely damaged, it is by no means easy to restore it to its original state, which will cast a heavy shadow over the sustainable development of the entire village.
However, to everyone's delight, the soul skill attached to Mengxuanjun's sixth soul ring was like a timely rain or a godsend.
As long as the Soul Masters are not particularly demanding in terms of the quality of the Soul Rings they need, Meng Xuanjun actually possesses the amazing ability to mass-produce Soul Rings.
This stroke of genius perfectly resolved the imminent crisis, bringing joy to everyone.
However, Wu Heyi knew that in order to fully demonstrate Meng Xuanjun's value, he had to give him a suitable and influential position.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Wu He decided to immediately promote Meng Xuanjun to the position of deputy village chief.
Furthermore, Wu Heyi explicitly stated that if anyone wishes to obtain a precious soul ring from Mengxuanjun in the future, that person must first make an extremely significant contribution to the village.
Only in this way can one be qualified to receive this rare reward! Because in Wu Heyi's view, spirit rings are extremely rare and precious resources that should not be easily given away.
Only those who make significant contributions to the village deserve this coveted reward.
