Such orders were issued in various places.
However, very few people responded.
"Each family can get five cows, 50 sheep and two horses? I've never seen such a big boast before."
"If such a good thing were to happen, when would it be our turn, the poor and needy?"
"We can't even get enough to eat, so going to Japan would be suicide."
Faced with the doubts of the crowd.
Local officials at all levels continued to make announcements.
“Our Lord Jiang said that those who go to Japan will not pay a single penny of tax for ten years, and everything produced on these lands will belong to you.”
Everyone was shocked once again.
"You're saying that Lord Jiang said those words?" someone in the crowd quickly asked.
"Which Lord Jiang is it?"
"Of course it's Lord Jiang Tian. Half a year ago, he led an army of 500,000 to cross the sea to Japan, and Japan has already been destroyed by him."
These words immediately caused an uproar at the scene.
Many people are aware of Jiang Tian's abilities.
Jiang Tian single-handedly defeated the Great Xia Dynasty and turned the tide.
Not only did they repel several rebel armies, but they also distributed large amounts of land that originally belonged to the major aristocratic families to the peasants.
Throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty, legends about Jiang Tian were circulated everywhere.
Almost all the people knew about Jiang Tian's affairs.
They knew that Jiang Tian was invincible and unconquerable.
They knew even more that Jiang Tian was a celestial being descended to earth.
Jiang Tian brought people endless fertile land, and also brought vitality to the Great Xia Dynasty, which had suffered from famine for five years and drought for three years.
Wherever Jiang Tian has been.
That place must be a vast expanse of fertile land.
"Since it was Lord Jiang who asked us to go, then we'll sign up."
"I heard that in Lord Jiang's area, crops can be harvested in a month."
"Lord Jiang is the guarantor."
The Ganars have asked us to go, and we must go.
Soon, people from all over the country responded enthusiastically.
The number of applicants has been soaring.
Within just six months, more than 5 million people signed up to go to Japan.
In many places, the entire village has to go there.
The local people live together in family groups.
A village is like one big family.
When they arrive in unfamiliar places, they will inevitably huddle together for warmth.
Jiang Tian gave them free land, free cattle, sheep and horses, and he would also give them free houses.
This is practically equivalent to moving in with just your suitcase.
Most importantly, all taxes will be exempted for ten years.
They keep everything produced on their land.
Especially when they heard that Jiang Tian had basically completed the transformation of the land in Japan, they were even more eager to leave their hometown and go to Japan.
One carriage after another headed towards Penglai County.
The area around Penglai County was packed with people.
This small seaside town was packed with people.
Looking at the vast ocean in the distance, many people were stunned; this was the first time in their lives they had traveled so far.
This was the first time they had ever seen the vast ocean.
On the sea, ships shuttle back and forth.
These steam-powered ships emitted a series of booming sounds.
The people who came from afar had never seen such a scene before.
"This boat is huge! It's much bigger than the boat in our pond."
"A single boat can carry several thousand people."
"Does it cost money to take the boat? We don't have any money. We've come all this way and we just want to get to Dongying as soon as possible. We don't have any money."
Among the crowd, many soldiers and imperial guards were maintaining order.
"Don't worry, the World Society's ships have already been chartered by the lords." Local officials and soldiers, along with the Imperial Guards, loudly reassured the people in the crowd.
“Our Jiang Daren’s policies are very good. Once you board the ship and arrive at your destination, local people will take you to where you are supposed to live.”
You don't need to worry about any of this.
"There will be a place to stay after you board the ship."
"There is food on the ship, and all food, lodging and drinks are free."
"Lord Jiang said that you will be relieved of all your worries."
Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Jiang Tian did a fantastic job.
They don't need to worry about any expenses.
At the dock.
More than a dozen boats docked one after another.
The people on the shore were led over in an organized manner.
The scene was orderly.
There was no noise from people, no crying, and no commotion.
"Fellow villagers, these warships are the very ships that transported General Jiang's 500,000-strong army to Japan six months ago."
"After boarding the ship, everyone will go to their respective accommodations according to the arrangements made by the ship's crew."
"Our people will personally deliver your food in half an hour."
"Those of us who want to get some fresh air on the ship, remember, don't get lost on the way to the cabin."
Under the guidance of the crowd.
Each boat housed between 3,000 and 5,000 people.
When these people got on the ship, they had never seen such a huge creature before.
All the people were like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, they were all amazed.
Once aboard the ship, each family was assigned a room.
The ship slowly started moving.
The cold-water boat carried them straight to the vast ocean.
On this huge ship, there was surprisingly no turbulence.
All the people were all smiles.
It was around noon.
The ship's crew brought them lunch.
