Seeing the state of these Juyan people, Zhong Shao smiled slightly and said loudly:

"You need not worry, the labor service of our Han Dynasty is different from that of your Juyan!"

During your service, your food, drink, clothing, and lodging will all be provided by us, the Great Han. After your service is completed and you are registered as Han citizens, you will be allocated houses and land!

"Really...really?"

An old man looked at Zhong Shao in disbelief. As long as you work, you get food and lodging. Is there really such a good thing? The others also looked at Zhong Shao, Tao Qian and the others with the same expression.

"Hmph~, as I just said! We Han people abide by the rules, and naturally we would not deceive you. If you don't believe me, then go back to your Juyan!"

Tao Qian couldn't help but snort coldly, clearly displeased with their questioning.

"No...no! We trust the Han!"

Upon seeing Tao Qian's anger, the people of Juyan hurriedly said they dared not.

For them, with the capital fallen and no Han protection, they would starve or freeze to death here sooner or later. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, no one wanted to wait to die.

"Furthermore, if you want our Great Han to send troops, besides your King Juyan's request for help, Juyan must be incorporated into the Great Han and become part of the Great Han's territory. Only then can our Great Han send troops!"

"Then how can we be incorporated into the Han Dynasty?"

Everyone looked at Tao Qian with curiosity, showing no resistance whatsoever to Juyan's incorporation into the Han Dynasty.

For them, whether it was the Han Dynasty or Juyan, all they wanted was to survive; they didn't care who was in charge.

"Since your King of Juyan is dead, you shall take care of some things! Sign this treaty, and Juyan will belong to the Han Dynasty!"

Then you will naturally be able to receive the protection of the Great Han!

As he spoke, Tao Qian took out a treaty and looked at everyone. The contents of the treaty were that the entire country of Juyan voluntarily annexed into the Han Dynasty and came under its complete jurisdiction.
