She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

The men on the island all looked frail and their steps were unsteady.

Some elderly people still have to use crutches to walk.

There are less than a hundred people in total.

It was indeed strange to stand with more than 800 women.

The soldiers of the Wei Dynasty and the guards led by Yu Yuanzheng were all strong and powerful.

The difference in this comparison is extremely huge.

For the men on the island, apart from seeing a few soldiers who went in to arrest people the day before yesterday, this was the first time they saw so many strong men gathered together.

Everyone was curious but didn't dare to look directly.

These men have been protected since birth and raised by women all over the island.

It is a great joy for a family to have a son.

He grew up with his mother until he was twelve years old and was then sent to be raised in the mountains.

The emperor stood on a high platform specially built for him.

Overlooking the villagers.

He also saw the group of men who lacked masculinity.

Among the ninety-odd people, there are only about thirty young ones.

The entire island depends on these people to continue the future generations.

It sounds ridiculous, but this is also caused by the environment over the past hundred years.

The emperor just glanced at them, then looked away and glanced at the women again.

His eyes were sharp and steady.

A sense of pressure from a superior naturally emanated.

The people who were talking a moment ago suddenly became quiet.

"Fellow villagers, I have been on this island for three days. I learned of your greatest challenge, so I led my men yesterday and yesterday to investigate. We have found the cause: the water and soil quality of this island. This island is no longer suitable for habitation.

Fortunately, I came here and learned about your difficulties. I intend to help you. Since you can't stay here, then follow me back to Wei.

I promise to settle your life.

Your ancestors fled here to avoid disaster, but more than a hundred years have passed and there has been no war in the Wei Dynasty.

Now it is thriving.

When you get there, you will have land to farm and houses to live in.

Moreover, there are many men in the Wei Dynasty who have not yet married.

I can arrange you to live in various villages with the people of Wei, and your marriage problems can be solved in the future.

Women don't have to work so hard to support a family.

It is natural for a man to stand up straight and provide for his family.

As for the men on the island, they will return to their own homes and raise a family together with their sisters."

The emperor's voice was loud and clear, and everyone heard what he said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers looked at each other and began to talk in low voices.

The two mothers-in-law only visited a small number of households last night.

Most people are unaware of the emperor's decision.

But we communicated with each other when we got together this morning.

They haven't had time to think about it yet.

"Let us leave Haiyue Island? We don't know what the outside world is like. Will we be bullied by people outside? We know nothing about the outside world. How can we live?"

"Yes, we have lived here for generations, but we know nothing about the outside world. We don't know what the rules are out there, and when we make a mistake, we don't know where we went wrong. We don't even know if the people outside are easy to get along with."

"Can the women on our island get married after leaving? Will men outside be interested in us?"

......

Shangguan Ziqi stood aside, listening to the villagers' various concerns.

He knew that this would be difficult for the villagers to accept.

It is human nature to be reluctant to leave one's hometown.

But this place is really not suitable for the villagers to live here anymore.

Moreover, he didn't want the villagers to know about the treasure mines here.

When Yu Yuanzheng had previously explained the situation to the villagers, she hadn't mentioned the effects of sulfur. She had simply said that the substance on the island was bad for the body, and that was why their bodies were affected.

After thinking about it, Shangguan Ziqi helped the emperor down from the platform. He stood on it and raised his hand to press down.

"My fellow villagers, I know you are worried that you will not be able to adapt to life outside, but we can ensure that you have no worries.

If you don't want to live separately, we can provide you with a place with mountains and water to accommodate you.

But you are not far from the people of Wei, and you can have contact with them, which will help you adapt to life outside quickly.

As for your marriage problem, it depends on your own fate and cannot be forced.

But your children will adapt to life outside when they grow up.

They can follow the normal lifestyle of the Wei Dynasty, with men getting married when they are old enough and women getting married when they are old enough, and then continue their offspring.

Don’t you want your children to have a complete family?

Don’t you want a man to hold up the sky for you?

Also, you have only seen some seabirds and the chickens, ducks and pigs that you raise on this island.

Do you know that there are many animals that are very common to us but you have never heard of, such as cows, horses, sheep, etc.

When ordinary people farm, they use oxen to plow the land, not like you who rely entirely on human labor. When we go out, we can ride in carts pulled by oxen, horses, or mules.

The day we first landed, we exchanged some small handkerchiefs with you, which amazed the girls. Those things were embroidered by women with needle and thread. You can also learn this skill when you go out and embroider by yourself.

Look at the clothes you wear and then look at the clothes we wear. You have never worn clothes made of such fine cloth in your life, right?

If you go out, as long as you earn money, you can buy good cloth to make beautiful clothes.

What woman doesn't like to be pretty? Don't you want to wear beautiful dresses?

And we are not taking you out right now. We still have a long voyage to go. We will send a ship to pick you up after we return to Wei.

You still have to continue planting your crops. When we come again, it will probably be next year.

We also need time to prepare the place and build the houses for you.

So you can rest assured.

It’s a hundred times better out there than on this island.”

Shangguan Ziqi opened his voice and urged loudly.

He spared no effort to convince the villagers.

After hearing Shangguan Ziqi's words, the villagers discussed it even more heatedly.

"Hearing what the prince said, there are more benefits to moving out."

"Since we still have so much time, let's think it over carefully. There's no need to rush into making a decision."

"How about we send a few people to follow them out and take a look? Come back and tell us what the situation is like outside, and we can make a decision later."

"Yes, that's a good idea. Let's have our people go and take a look, so we can have a better idea."

The villagers discussed it for a while.

Tell Grandma Ye their thoughts.

Grandma Ye thought it made a lot of sense.

She came before the emperor.

"Your Majesty, we've discussed this. Can we send a few people to follow you out this time to see what's going on outside? Come back and tell us, and we'll make a decision, okay?"

"Sure. Select a few people and have them get ready. We'll set off tomorrow." The emperor understood the villagers' request.

After the matter was settled, Grandma Ye and Grandma Cui began to select people.

But who to choose is another question.

They are completely unaware of the outside world.

No one can guarantee whether the people sent out can come back.

Although the emperor explained it very clearly, no one could predict what would happen in the future.

It is natural to be afraid of the unknown.

At the beginning, the two mothers-in-law asked the villagers to sign up themselves.

As a result, no one signed up when it was almost dark.

This made the two old people very anxious.

"Sister Ye, what should we do? They are leaving tomorrow." Grandma Cui said anxiously.

Grandma Ye had no choice, as they couldn't force someone to marry.

Finally, the two of them decided to ask Yu Yuanzheng for help.
