Li Chengdao brought his men and arrived at the Kuangqu for an inspection.
The Kuangqu was bustling with activity. The entire mining area gave off a sense of vigor and vitality, without any sense of death.
This would have been impossible in the past!
The workers in the Kuangqu were basically freed slaves.
They had all seen and experienced the darkness of the bottom of society, so they were already numb to the cruelty of reality.
However, their faces were filled with the light of hope.
Although Li Chengdao kept a low profile, he was still recognized not long after.
"Yes, it's Your Majesty! You are the Holy Emperor!"
A worker who passed by Li Chengdao suddenly stopped and shouted in surprise.
This sentence seemed to have magic in an instant, instantly attracting the gazes of countless workers.
"Your Majesty? Where is His Majesty?"
"It's His Majesty! It really was His Majesty the Emperor! He actually came to visit us!"
"Great liberator! A true Heavenly God!"
"Make way, let me see where His Majesty is!”
.........
The news that His Majesty the Holy Emperor had arrived spread like a whirlwind. All the slaves in the Kuangqu were boiling with excitement.
One by one, they abandoned their work and rushed toward Li Chengdao.
Although Li Chengdao had appeared in the central square, not everyone had seen him before.
However, he had an unparalleled position in the hearts of countless slaves!
Even the Pope couldn't compare!
He was the true god in the hearts of the slaves!
Now that they heard that Li Chengdao was here, all the freed slaves wanted to pay their respects to this great liberator, the emperor who brought them freedom and hope!
As more and more people gathered, Feng Li, who was following behind Li Chengdao, frowned.
He subconsciously placed his hand on the horizontal sword at his waist, ready to lead the guards to block these excited workers.
Protecting Li Chengdao's safety was his duty.
"No need."
However, Li Chengdao gently raised his hand and stopped him with his eyes.
Feng Li could only return to his original position.
What surprised him was that after more and more workers gathered, they did not squeeze towards Li Chengdao. Instead, they stayed ten steps away from Li Chengdao and did not step over.
After a while, the workers knelt down one by one and kowtowed to Li Chengdao!
"Greetings to the great Holy Emperor!”
The uneven praises sounded, but there was a different kind of shock!
Looking at the black mass of workers kneeling before them, Feng Li, the Imperial Guards, Wang Gui, and Wei Zheng were all extremely shocked!
They looked at the figure standing in front of them, receiving the kowtow of tens of thousands of people.
Li Chengdao was not wearing his dragon robe today. He was only wearing ordinary casual clothes.
However, in their eyes, he was like a golden throne with infinite majesty!
The hearts of the people, no crown is also emperor!
"I finally understand the true meaning of the slavery bill. This bill alone is better than thousands of troops.”
Wei Zheng said in a low voice.
Wang Gui silently nodded, deeply agreeing.
On the other side, Li Chengdao accepted the kowtows of tens of thousands of workers. Although his expression was calm, he felt a little emotional in his heart.
After regaining his composure, Li Chengdao looked at the crowd and a smile appeared on his handsome face.""Everyone has worked hard!"
It was just a simple greeting, but it elicited an excited response. The scene became noisy again.
Li Chengdao stretched out his hand and pressed on the air. All the sounds quickly quieted down.
The workers looked at him with bright eyes, looking forward to his next speech.
Li Chengdao took a deep breath and said with a serious expression,"Seeing you now, Zhen is happy for you from the bottom of my heart.”
"In the past, I could only feel numbness and despair from you, but now, you have found a new self and have a new life and future.”
Hearing Li Chengdao's words, all the workers were in an uproar.
"Praise the sun! Praise Your Majesty!"
"All of this is given to us by Your Majesty!”
"Without His Majesty, we would still be a group of slaves without any dignity or rights!”
"That's right. Your Majesty, you're our savior. You're our faith!”
"Long live His Majesty the Holy Emperor!"
"Long live His Majesty the Holy Emperor!"
.........
The cheers that rose and fell showed the excitement of the workers and their endless respect for Li Chengdao.
Faced with these grateful voices, Li Chengdao shook his head and said,""No, you don't need to thank me, I should thank you.”
The workers were confused.
Thank them?
Li Chengdao smiled faintly and pointed at the huge ore mine beside him."The entire Empire has benefited from your participation.”
"The output of copper, iron, and coal has increased by more than five times. You have made great contributions to the Imperium, and the strength of the Imperium is closely related to you!”
"You are the foundation of the Imperium. Your contributions are unparalleled!”
Li Chengdao said passionately, his eyes full of vigor.
The workers were stunned at first, then they were all excited!
They, they were actually so important? Or even the entire empire?
Even the Emperor, whom they regarded as a god, had acknowledged their contributions!
An unprecedented sense of honor and responsibility filled everyone's hearts, making their blood boil.
This was an unprecedented feeling!
Li Chengdao's words made them realize that they were not just working, but making the entire empire stronger through their actions!
When an individual's hard work was elevated to the national level, a sense of honor arose spontaneously!
"You are all citizens of the Empire! The strength of the empire is closely related to you. Are you willing to make the empire stronger?”
Li Chengdao's eyes were bright and his tone was sonorous.
All the workers felt their blood boil and almost blurted out.
"I'm willing!"
"Do you want the Imperium to become the most powerful country in the world and let the glory of the Imperium shine on every inch of land?”
"Yes!"
"Then go and fight! For the Empire, for your families, and for yourselves-"
Li Chengdao's face was flushed red as he shouted with all his strength,"
" Go and fight!!!"
"Struggle! Struggle! Fight!"
What responded to him was a uniform roar!
It was as if all the workers had been brainwashed. Their faces were filled with madness.
They looked at Li Chengdao as if they were looking at a god!
Although Wang Gui, Feng Li, and the others were not involved, the scene before them made them feel as if electricity was coursing through their bodies.
They looked at the fanatical workers and Li Chengdao, who was the center of attention. Their eyes were more or less filled with fear.
too terrifying
