101: The bad guys are rebelling? Chen De's good idea!

After Feng Zhe had appeased all the residents of Tianfeng City, he returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Entering the backyard, he saw Chen De rustling about, cutting something.

Knowing that Feng Zhe had returned, Chen De didn't even lift his head, “Is the matter settled?”

“It's done. I followed your instructions, and aside from a few initial objections, no one else dared to make a sound.”

Feng Zhe stood beside Chen De and replied to him.

Chen De was almost finished with the item in his hand. He picked it up and looked at it.

“Since ancient times, when has there ever been legislation or reform without bloodshed? I am doing this for their own good.

Even if it’s not perfect, my original intention is good!”

Chen De smiled faintly, and Feng Zhe also smiled faintly, both remaining silent.

Then, Chen De picked up the item in his hand and handed it to Feng Zhe,

“Here, take a look. How did I do?”

Feng Zhe took the item and examined it.

It was a piece of clothing, but Chen De had cut it into the shape of open-crotch pants.

And the design of the clothing was quite provocative.

Chen De explained to Feng Zhe,

“I, Chen De, as the ceiling of morality, have dedicated my life to the equality of all things.

Like birds, like beasts, like * (censored), they are born without clothing.

But they are all part of all living beings. All beings are born equal, so why should there be differential treatment?

Do you know why I designed such an item of clothing?”

Feng Zhe shook his head, indicating he didn't know. Even if he knew, he would pretend not to.

Upon hearing this, Chen De let out a helpless, bitter laugh, with a look of unnecessary anxiety,

“They have gone astray!

That’s why I, Chen De, am here to set things right for them!

Wearing this set of clothes I designed is to allow people to return to nature.

We have been separated from nature for too long, too long.

Change is already an urgent matter!”

Saying this, Chen De solemnly instructed Feng Zhe, “Now, take these clothes, both male and female, and go mass-produce them.

Strive, no, within three days, everyone in the city must wear this set of clothes.”

Chen De’s expression was grave, and his tone was full of seriousness.

“Understood!”

“I will take care of this matter!”

Feng Zhe also solemnly promised, as if this were a sacred handover ceremony.

After handing the items to Feng Zhe, he did not let Feng Zhe leave immediately.

Instead, he said with a worried expression,

“Since ancient times, clothing, food, housing, and transportation have been essential needs for survival.

Among them, clothing and food are the most important!

Whenever I think of how many people are still without proper clothing and food.

My heart, filled with great love, aches as if being twisted by a knife.

Every night, I often lie awake, crying to myself because of this.

Therefore, ever since I took over Tianfeng City, I have worked diligently, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

Only now have I barely managed to solve the problem of clothing.

I am guilty!”

Chen De lowered his head, his expression dejected.

Seeing this, Feng Zhe quickly comforted him,

“Your Excellency, please do not despair. Your benevolence is clear to everyone in Tianfeng City.

It’s just that they don’t know of your existence yet; otherwise.

If they knew everything you have done for them, they would surely be moved to tears and incredibly grateful.

Even now, they must be grateful to us from the bottom of their hearts.”

Chen De listened, sniffling, and wiped his tears with his sleeve, saying in a trembling voice, “Are… are you telling the truth?

I am uneducated, so don’t lie to me!”

Feng Zhe said earnestly, “Of course, how could I lie to you?

With your benevolence, wouldn't you know if I was lying at a glance?”

Chen De looked up at Feng Zhe and found his expression incredibly sincere, with no hint of lying.

Chen De was an honest person, and honest people often give those around them the greatest trust.

So, Chen De believed him.

“Alright then, I’ll believe you this once!”

Saying this, Chen De changed the subject, “So, has the matter of distributing grain that I instructed been handled?”

Feng Zhe nodded, “It has been handled. According to your wishes, each portion of grain contains thirty percent aphrodisiac, thirty percent fertility medicine, and thirty percent tonic.

They are mixed together and made into pills, which cannot be separated.

By now, they have all been distributed.”

After hearing this, Chen De was still a bit worried, “What if they don’t eat it?

Good medicine tastes bitter but benefits the illness. These are all my intentions.

Doing this is all for their own good!”

Chen De paced back and forth anxiously, just like an old father who is at his wit's end with a child who won't eat properly.

After pondering for a while, shaking his head, he suddenly slapped his thigh,

“I’ve got it!

Now, send people down again to confiscate all their original food.

This will also be a good opportunity to distribute the newly made clothes to them at the same time.

I have always loved my people as my own children; they are just like my children.

I believe they also regard me as their father and will certainly be obedient, good children.

As for disobedient children, they are not good children and must be properly educated.

As for how to educate them, I don’t need to say more, do I?”

Feng Zhe received the order and immediately went to carry it out, taking the clothes Chen De had given him.

After Feng Zhe left, Chen De frowned.

He didn't know how long this experiment would last, or how many experimental materials would be needed.

He could only say, try to prepare as much as possible.

However, the recent experimental data had not been very satisfactory, and the effect was still far from Chen De's goal.

How could the experimental effect be greatly improved?

Chen De paced back and forth in the pavilion, deep in thought.

Suddenly, Chen De remembered some videos he had scrolled through on his phone in his previous life.

Perhaps, Chen De could try this.

But how could this be implemented?

These natives of Tianfeng City had feudal ideas, and Chen De's previous policies were already very difficult for them to accept.

A person as moral as Chen De really couldn't bring himself to do it.

This made Chen De extremely anxious.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was morality that restrained Chen De.

Indeed, a person's greatest strength is often also their greatest weakness.

The price of morality finally fell upon Chen De.

“Report!”

A voice suddenly interrupted Chen De’s thoughts.

However, Chen De didn't say anything, but instead let the messenger report the news,

“Reporting, Your Excellency, our people have found that in the east of the city, there is a group of people who are dissatisfied with the City Lord’s new policies.

They are currently conspiring there, wanting to escape from Tianfeng City.”

Upon hearing this, Chen De’s eyes narrowed slightly.

These people were truly ungrateful wretches.

He fed them, clothed them, and wished he could tear out his heart for them.

But how did they repay Chen De?

Rebellion! Insurrection!

This was a critical moment for Tianfeng City; running away, wasn't that rebellion?

Abandoning Tianfeng City at its most critical moment, this was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Chen De absolutely could not tolerate such beastly behavior.

Even if Chen De was the most moral person in the world, even the Buddha has the wrathful gaze of a Vajra.

At this moment, even Chen De could no longer endure it.

Chen De was about to name and assign generals.

At this moment,

“Report!”
