Chapter 353 Are you willing to let the Fire Clan leader be the city lord?
So, in the helpless little white eyes of Ruoxi, the people bowed down.
As common people, they just covet to live, covet to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and live a good life, which is actually satisfying.
In the five mountains of the Five Elements Clan, the five clans of gold, wood, water, fire and earth settled.
Under the mountain, there are well-divided responsibility areas, with mountains, water, and fields.
In the past, in the Five Elements Clan, the fields were arranged by the clan leader, and even the housing division was designated by the clan leader.
There are floods every year, and the people under the mountain are the most poor and suffer the most, but their clan leader lives halfway up the mountain, with good feng shui, good air, and safety.
The clan leader controls everything, so the people can only obey the clan leader's arrangements and have no autonomy.
"Huo Xiongba, now, you are the only one left in the Five Elements Clan. What are your plans?" Xiao Yue looked at everything in front of him and said, "It will soon be May. In summer, it will rain heavily. I think the people will not want to see their homes destroyed. Even if they are lazy and unmotivated, they will not disregard their lives and homes. So, are you willing to support the Five Elements Clan?"
"Your Highness, my body is really... I don't know if I can handle it!" Huo Xiongba raised his hand to cover his chest, lowered his head, and said.
He was afraid that in just three or five days, the Five Elements Clan would be gone.
He was afraid of the princess, afraid of the little baby Ruoxi, and he was also afraid of the people.
The Five Elements Clan used to bully the people in Chizhou.
The people lived in the lowest class. After the flood, they didn't even have a place to live.
However, the leaders of the Five Elements Clan all have luxurious manors, with beautiful scenery on the hillside, one after another, and are particularly extravagant.
"Are you afraid that the people will not agree?" Ci Xin asked.
"A city cannot be without a ruler to manage it, but it depends on how it is managed. The people in Yongcheng and Huaicheng have enough food and clothing because their city lords do a very good job. So, if you have better people to lead, I believe that in a few years, the weather will be good and the people will be happy!" Xiao Yue said.
Baby Ruoxi looked at Huo Xiongba, and she thought that this old guy was okay.
"Although the old man has a bad temper, he is upright. If he can behave well, let him have a try. Maybe, he can reform and start over!"
Baby Ruoxi looked at her mother and recommended Huo Xiongba to her mother.
The rise and fall of a country and the prosperity of a city all depend on the ruler of a city.
Huo Xiongba is the oldest among the patriarchs of the Five Elements Clan. In the past, he always wanted to be the chief patriarch, but because he could not beat the others in every water chestnut picking competition, whether in terms of kung fu, knowledge or calculation, he was not good, so he always ranked fourth.
The last one was the Mu Clan leader, but that Mu Clan leader was hiding his incompetence, in order not to let people suspect that he had dealings with the Five Poison Sect.
"Are you willing to let the Fire Clan leader rule Chizhou?" Ci Xin turned around and asked the people.
The people looked up at Huo Xiongba.
"Your Highness, you know how miserable our lives have been over the years. Every year, there are floods at the foot of the mountain, and our homes are washed away every year, so we built our houses higher and on top of the pile of stones."
"Even so, when the floods are severe, the houses will still collapse and be destroyed!"
"We moved up the mountain, but our clan leader would control us and restrict us from going up. If we want to go up, we have to pay money!"
"We don't want to be oppressed or enslaved, please help us, princess!"
Xiao Yue turned around and looked at Huo Xiongba, who smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"As far as I know, although the Fire Clan leader has a bad temper, he is still a good person, right?" Wen Xu said.
In the past few days, when he was treating the people's injuries, he heard the people talking about the Five Elements Clan, and he learned a little bit.
"Yes, the Fire Clan leader is the most kind-hearted among the several clan leaders!" Everyone nodded.
"After experiencing this incident, I believe the Fire Clan leader has also realized something, and his heart will be touched. So, will the Fire Clan leader become a pretty good city lord?" Liu Rushi said.
"Well, as Miss Liu, you all know, she is the granddaughter of Master Liu, the apple of his eye, and she is very spoiled, so she has a bad temper, but she is kind-hearted and a good girl!" Ci Xin said.
Xiao Yue turned to look at Ci Xin, then looked at Liu Rushi's red cheeks. She smiled and said, "What the national teacher said is true. Rushi has always been a straightforward and cheerful girl. She is decisive in killing, but she is very kind. I think that the Fire Clan leader will manage this city well in the future, right?" Huo
Xiongba looked at Ci Xin, Xiao Yue, and finally Liu Rushi. After a while, he nodded.
"Over the years, I, Huo Xiongba, have also let down the people. I think no matter how I explain it, it will be useless. So, if you let me be the city lord, I will definitely manage this Chizhou well in the future!" Huo Xiongba said.
The people looked at each other, and no one said anything.
"The Fire Clan leader can take some actions!" Xiao Yue said.
Huo Xiongba actually wanted to be the boss, but after experiencing these recent events, he was a little wary.
"For example, the house of the Five Elements Clan!" Ci Xin reminded.
"Five Elements Clan!" Yuan Hui said on the side, "In the future, there will be no Five Elements Clan. Everyone will divide the fields in the mountains. Those who can work in the mountains will work in the mountains. Those who can't or don't want to go up the mountains can raise fish and shrimp in the lake!"
"Fire Clan Leader, what do you think?" Xiao Yue asked.
"Fire Clan Leader, you can tell the people what you would do if you were the city lord!" Wen Xu said.
"Okay, let me talk!" Huo Xiongba walked forward, looked at everyone, and said, "Are you willing to take the manor of the Five Elements Clan?"
"Can we live there?" The people shook their heads and sneered, "The houses on the mountain are for the nobles. We usually go there to be slaves and to deliver things, not to live there!"
"So, now I ask you, are you willing?" Huo Xiongba asked.
"You, really want to give it? Chief Huo, are you sure, there are dozens of manors!"
"Each manor has dozens of rooms, and many of us can live there. The question is how are you going to distribute them?"
"Yes, each of our tribes has several hundred people, and it's hard to distribute those manors!"
The people talked one after another, and among them, of course, there were many people from the Five Elements Tribe.
