After Xiang Yu called Sun Bo, he waited with peace of mind, believing that Sun Bo would definitely have a way to develop this place.
Though the place was poor, labor was cheap. If a labor-intensive enterprise was established here, it would surely develop rapidly.
Just as Xiang Yu and Xiao Xuan were planning, Tie Zhuzi rushed in.
"Brother Yu, I’m back," Tie Zhuzi said with a grin.
Seeing Tie Zhuzi drenched in sweat, Xiang Yu smiled and said, "Take a break."
"I’m not tired." Tie Zhuzi bead, "The brothers outside are all waiting for you; you’d better go and see them."
Xiang Yu heard the commotion outside and nodded, walking out.
Stepping outside, Xiang Yu was startled. The area was teeming with hundreds of people.
There were n and won, young and old. Xiang Yu turned to Tie Zhuzi and asked, "What’s all this?"
"They all want to et you, saying they want to follow you," Tie Zhuzi chuckled.
The crowd quieted down as they saw Xiang Yu step out.
"Do you all wish to follow ?" Xiang Yu stood and asked.
"We want to follow you."
"Yes, we all want to follow you."
The crowd shouted excitedly.
At that mont, soone suddenly knelt down, prompting the entire crowd to kneel.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly," Xiang Yu shouted in surprise.
An elderly man trembled as he grabbed Xiang Yu’s hand and said, "As long as you can feed my grandson, I’ll do anything."
Deeply moved, Xiang Yu quickly helped the old man up.
At this mont, the brothers Xi’er and Jieke ca running from a distance. Seeing this scene, they didn’t intervene but watched Xiang Yu closely.
"Folks, I understand your intentions, and I promise to do what I’ve said. I’m currently raising funds, and the money will soon be in place," Xiang Yu said earnestly.
"We trust you," the old man said with tears in his eyes.
"Stand up, everyone," Xiang Yu urged. "As long as you trust and cooperate with , I will do my utmost to build this place," Xiang Yu declared.
"We will definitely cooperate with you," the old man shouted.
The crowd joined in, their enthusiasm evident.
"All the young n, stay. Everyone else can go ho. If I need you, I’ll find you," Xiang Yu instructed.
The won and elderly left after hearing Xiang Yu’s directives.
The elderly man from before remained, unwilling to leave.
"Sir, you should go ho too," Xiang Yu said to him.
"I have no young ones at ho; the child’s parents are dead. I still have strength; let stay," the old man stated firmly.
Xi’er walked over and told the old man, "Sir, if they set up a factory here, you’ll be the first person I call."
The old man seed to know Xi’er and nodded, "Don’t forget about . I still have strength."
Xi’er nodded, then sent the old man off.
Around one hundred and fifty young n remained, a number Xiang Yu hadn’t anticipated.
"You are now the backbone of this city, and I need your strength," Xiang Yu said. "There are national laws and family rules. Since you choose to follow , I must first establish the rules."
"First rule, do not betray your brothers..."
Xiang Yu divided them into two groups: fifty for training, nad Guardians, and one hundred forming a Self-Defense Force to maintain city security and act as the police when the factory is established.
"Zhuzi, take the Guardians and find a suitable training ground," Xiang Yu directed.
Tie Zhuzi nodded quickly, saying, "Guardians, follow now."
The fifty n hurried after Tie Zhuzi into the distance.
The remaining hundred stood quietly, waiting for Xiang Yu’s instructions.
Xiang Yu addressed the Self-Defense Force, covering rules against bullying, promoting justice, and dealing with wrongdoers.
Though not versed in law, Xiang Yu conveyed what he knew.
Xi’er, listening nearby, nodded, "We need a complete legal system."
Xiang Yu nodded, "Exactly. This chaos stems from a lack of restraint."
Seeing Xi’er’s bright eyes, Xiang Yu asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"
Xi’er nodded eagerly, "Yes, we devised a legal system before you ca, although it’s incomplete. I’ll show you once it’s finished."
"Great, I’ll leave this to you," Xiang Yu said.
Xi’er happily agreed, finally having a chance to use her skills.
"Rest assured, I’ll complete the mission," Xi’er vowed to Xiang Yu.
"Eck," Xiang Yu called, "from today, you manage these people. Divide them into groups, and ensure there’s always soone on duty."
Eck was surprised but nodded after seeing Xiang Yu’s trust, "Alright, I’ll take this position."
"Help them acclimate," Xiang Yu suggested.
Eck nodded and led the group away.
Xiang Yu’s goal was simple: build a complete system here.
With no existing structure, he had to start from scratch, learning from other cities’ rules to avoid fumbling.
Moreover, Xi’er, skilled in this area, could significantly aid Xiang Yu.
anwhile, hundreds of miles away, Su Yongzhen stood by a window, gazing into the distance with concern.
"You say Brother Yu went to the slum?" Su Yongzhen asked.
Zhang Wendong, standing behind him, nodded, "Yes, it’s a mixed bag in there. Once they enter, it could be hard to leave."
"Nonsense," Su Yongzhen retorted angrily.
Pacing, he ordered, "Send soone to check on them, assess the situation, and report back."
Zhang Wendong reluctantly replied, "Boss, why focus so much on them? What’s their capability, anyway?"
