"His Majesty is here!"
"His Majesty is here!"
The commoners immediately boiled over and knelt down.
He shouted long live!
Yang Guang stood on a rock and stretched out his hands,""People of Great Sui, I have come to visit you!”
Yang Guang's words caused countless commoners to burst into tears.
The Emperor of Great Sui had actually come to visit them personally.
This was something that he had never dreamed of.
A white-haired old man walked out of the crowd with a walking stick.
"Your Majesty, we have all heard.
It was you who sensed an earthquake and sent soldiers to get us out. Otherwise, we would have been buried alive.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!"
Yang Guang walked down the mountain rock and helped the old man up with both hands.
" Old man, you've suffered…"
The old man shook his head in agitation." Your Majesty, I'm not suffering…It's our soldiers who are suffering…and the three lords."
"This old man is over eighty years old and has experienced several dynasties.”
"I've never seen an Imperial Court that cares so much about us commoners.”
"I've never seen an emperor personally come to see us, the people who have been affected by the disaster.”
"Although our home was destroyed, none of us were injured.”
Yang Guang patted the old man's hand." As long as he's alive, we can rebuild our homes!"”
The old man wiped his tears." Your Majesty is right. There is hope as long as we are alive."”
"With a wise emperor like His Majesty, we will have more strength to live on!”
Yang Guang said to the old man,"Your home has been destroyed. I know what you are most worried about."”
He returned to the rock.
"All the citizens of Lantian County, I promise you that the imperial court will send craftsmen to rebuild Lantian County tomorrow.
Within three months, I will return you a new home, a new Lantian County.”
All the commoners were stunned. The imperial court was helping them rebuild their homes?
This was something he had never heard of before.
But this was what His Majesty said.
Jun was not joking!
Seeing the reaction of the commoners, Yang Guang smiled slightly."It seems that you still have doubts.”
"Cui Junsu, Pei Yun, stand in front.”
Cui Junsu and Pei Yun could only step forward.
"You should have heard of the Cui family of Qinghe and the Pei family of Hedong. The two beloved ministers have promised to pay for all the costs of rebuilding Lantian County.”
"Aren't you going to thank the two lords?"
Countless people shouted," Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise. Thank you, sirs."”
Cui Junsu and Pei Yun's faces were filled with bitterness as they forced a smile.
He shot himself in the foot.
If the emperor said it was an earthquake, then so be it.
Why did she have to bet with him? This was great.
To rebuild Lantian County, half of the family's assets had to be taken out.
The people were most grateful to His Majesty.
He was the biggest winner.
However, they didn't know Yang Guang's true purpose.
If it was just to do these things, he did not need to come personally.
Today, Yang Guang wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.
Under the eyes of everyone, an artificial god was created.
Yang Guang raised his hands slightly, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
There was complete silence.
"Food is the most important thing for the people," said Yang Guang.”
"Old man, tell me, is there enough food at home?”
The old man hesitated for a moment." Your Majesty, I have 30 mu of land. Each mu produces 70 catties of corn. After paying taxes, I have a surplus. It's enough to eat.”
The commoners nodded in agreement.
Although taxes were heavy in the Sui Dynasty, compared to the war-torn era, life was much better.
Yang Guang shook his head slightly. The commoners of the Great Sui Dynasty were too easily satisfied.
As long as there was food in the pot, they would never rebel.
It could be seen that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had harmed the common people for more than ten years.
Since he was here, he had to reverse the situation.
Emperor Yang looked at the old man and asked,"Old man, what is the highest yield you have ever seen?"”
The old man thought carefully and made a gesture."The highest yield I've seen in fertile farmland that can be watered is only about 80 catties, less than 90 catties.”
Yang Guang sighed." In other words, the average yield per mu of land in the world is only about 80 catties. How can this amount of food be enough? The people of my Great Sui Dynasty are too miserable!”
The surrounding commoners were stunned when they heard this.
Hadn't it always been like this since ancient times?
The land was still the same, and the seeds were still the same.
Not to mention the commoners, even the court officials who had followed Yang Guang were puzzled.
He didn't understand what Yang Guang was up to.
Some of the ministers revealed a disdainful expression."What does Yang Guang know about agriculture? He only knows how to talk big.”
"When the land in the world is used to grow grain, in the bumper harvest year, the yield per mu can be 70 to 80 catties.”
"If there is a great drought or flood, it is very normal for the crops to not be harvested.”
Yang Guang saw more and more people looking at him in confusion.
His expression became even more serious.
"I am the Son of Heaven. I feel the hardships of the people and pray to the heavens.”
"Today, I will pray to the heavens again in front of all the citizens!”
"Please send down a divine seed from the heavens to nurture the people of Great Sui.”
His Majesty actually wanted to pray for a divine seed here? Isn't this too childish?
Every year, the imperial court would offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for blessings.
However, which time was it not for bathing and fasting? It was a grand and grand ceremony.
How could he be as casual as he was now?
He wanted to pray to the heavens?
However, since Yang Guang said he would do it, everyone was willing to cooperate.
Yang Guang stood on the rock with his eyes closed and his hands spread open.
He muttered something.
The surrounding commoners and ministers knelt on the ground and looked up at Yang Guang.
Suddenly.
They saw Yang Guang's body emit a strange red light that shot into the sky.
It was daytime.
The red light was clearly visible.
Just like that, it shot out from Yang Guang's body and disappeared into the sky.
It was not something that happened in an instant.
It was because the red light had always been there.
Everyone was shocked. What kind of light was this?
Could His Majesty really communicate with heaven and earth?
This light lasted for about 15 minutes before he disappeared.
At this moment, Yang Guang also opened his eyes.
"The heavens have been moved by my sincerity and have agreed to bestow the divine seed!"”
"Everyone, retreat!"
With Yang Guang's order, the surrounding civilians and officials pushed him away.
He left a huge empty space.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, a strange pile of things suddenly appeared on the empty ground.
Yang Su, Yu Wenshu, Gao Wei, Yu Shiji, Cui Junsu and other ministers were very close.
They were sure that they weren't seeing things!
There was absolutely nothing on the empty ground just now.
But now, four piles of things that he had never seen before appeared out of thin air. They seemed to be food.
Yang Guang smiled." This is the divine seed that God has given us."”
"They are potato, pumpkin, sweet potato, and corn!”
"They are all food that can fill one's stomach."
"Do you know how much grain is produced per mu?”
"Just guess. I won't blame you if you're wrong!”
The court officials looked at each other, and for a moment, no one said much.
However, among the commoners, a young man boldly shouted,""My guess is 500 catties per mu!"
Instantly, everyone looked at him.
The young man panicked, but he insisted,""Why are you looking at me? This is the divine seed that His Majesty requested. 500 pounds isn't too much, right?”
" No!" An old man shook his head." Even a divine seed can't produce 500 catties per mu. If it can produce 200 catties per mu, it can be considered a divine seed!"”
The surrounding people echoed the old man,"Yes, we'll be satisfied if we can produce 200 catties per mu."”
Yang Guang smiled but did not say anything. He looked at the ministers and said,""What do you guys think?"
