I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory
Chapter Summary
“Report to Your Majesty, since the start of this summer, Great Xia has enjoyed favorable weather and peace, leading to another bumper harvest of grain. ”The Minister of Revenue immediately reported, “Reporting to Your Majesty, our Great Luo’s grain harvest this year is xx catties! ”The Minister of Revenue said with a wry smile, “Since the beginning of summer this year, for some unknown reason, there have been constant tornadoes!
At this time, another piece of good news reached Lin Beifan’s ears.
“Report to Your Majesty, since the start of this summer, Great Xia has enjoyed favorable weather and peace, leading to another bumper harvest of grain.
The yield has reached xx catties, enough to feed 80 million people for a year.
It can not only sustain the entire nation’s common people but also leaves us with a significant surplus!
” Heshen, the Minister of Revenue, excitedly reported.
Lin Beifan was already aware of this, but he was still very pleased to hear Heshen’s report.
“This is indeed great news!
For the nation, grain is the foundation.
It is a tool for enriching the country and ensuring peace.
No amount is too much!
Now that we have harvested so much grain, we won’t have to worry for the coming year!
Minister, you have worked hard!
”Heshen replied with trepidation, “Your Majesty, your humble servant has not worked hard!
It is Your Majesty who has worked the hardest, toiling for state affairs in the palace every day, managing countless tasks tirelessly!
Even the heavens are moved by Your Majesty’s dedication, hence the bountiful harvest to encourage us!
”Lin Beifan nodded in agreement.
He indeed toiled for state affairs every day, his back nearly breaking from the strain.
“No matter what, you have played an indispensable role in this bumper harvest of grain, Minister.
You are awarded ten thousand taels of silver!
Additionally, you may go to the Skill Transmission Hall to select a divine skill and learn the first three levels of its technique!
”Heshen was overjoyed, “Thank you for your great grace, Your Majesty!
”What truly delighted him was not the ten thousand taels of silver but the divine skill!
That was something money couldn’t buy, and he had long coveted it!
Now, his wish was finally fulfilled!
Haha!
Serving under His Majesty brings great benefits!
Lin Beifan continued, “Minister, after you leave the court, announce this news to the whole world, so that the people can rejoice together!
”“Yes, Your Majesty!
” Heshen excitedly withdrew.
……“Ding!
As the player’s national power has increased, your strength has also increased correspondingly.
You are rewarded with the Great River Sword Intent!
”“Great River Sword Intent, an extremely terrifying ultimate technique.
Its mastery makes everything beyond a ten-thousand-li radius insignificant compared to the space within one zhang in front of oneself.
Within that one zhang, one is unbeatable, capable of defeating all opponents in the world, making it one of the most invincible sword techniques known to man!
”Lin Beifan quickly absorbed this sword technique.
Indeed, this sword technique was truly invincible, especially within the one zhang in front of him!
No one, not even a Great Grandmaster, should think of approaching within one zhang of him, or they would surely be injured by his sword’s radiance.
“This sword technique is not bad!
” Lin Beifan was very satisfied with his new acquisition and opened the Empire Sandbox.
……Empire Sandbox (Advanced Level)Territorial Area: 8.
2 million square miles (Arable land 5 million square miles)Domestic Resources: 1.
45 billion taels (5 gold mines, 8 silver mines, 12 copper mines, 18 iron mines…)Population: 58 million (Wealthy people 1%, Common people 51%, Poor people 48%)Military Strength: 3.
5 million (2 Grandmasters, 43 Innates, 12,000 martial artists…)Comprehensive National Power: 10,100 (Quasi-Empire level)……The most noticeable change has been in the area of Population.
Thanks to a bumper harvest, tens of millions of people have escaped poverty, with the number of Common people reaching 30 million, accounting for over 50% and becoming the backbone of society.
As a result, the country has become more stable, and its national power has grown stronger.
Thus, the comprehensive national power has increased by nearly 500 points, breaking the 10,000 mark!
From the perspective of the Empire Sandbox, a comprehensive national power of over 10,000 is already on par with that of an Empire!
It’s just that some basic conditions have not yet been met, so it’s not possible to establish an Empire!
However, it can be considered a Quasi-Empire!
In light of this, Lin Beifan felt both happy and reminded himself to stay vigilant.
“The revolution is not yet successful, my comrades still need to work hard!
”……At this time, the news of Great Xia’s bumper harvest quickly spread throughout the country and the whole world.
The Common people of Great Xia were very happy, singing and dancing.
“Another year of bumper harvest!
”“With so much grain harvested this year, we won’t have to worry for the next year!
”“Living in Great Xia is wonderful; life gets better day by day!
I really made the right choice coming here!
” “May Great Xia prosper forever, long live His Majesty!
”Other countries, however, were green with envy and resentment!
Great Xia had another bumper harvest!
Year after year, this was the third time!
A 20% increase in grain yield was considered good for others!
Great Xia’s yield doubled every time, leaving no room for others to thrive!
What good deeds did that foolish emperor do in his past life?
How much virtue did he accumulate to be so favored by the heavens?
They could only envy, not daring to rob!
After all, their national power is not weak, and with a Grandmaster and a divine sword in their possession, most countries wouldn’t dare to harbor any designs against them.
But it was different for the Common people.
Seeing Great Xia getting better and its Common people becoming happier, it would be a lie to say they weren’t envious!
Looking at their hopeless lives day after day, a thought sprouted in their minds.
Why not just go to Great Xia?
There’s no hope here; maybe there’s a chance to turn things around in Great Xia!
At the very least, they should be able to secure basic food and warmth!
And so, more and more Common people packed their bags, took their families, and headed towards Great Xia full of hope.
……At this time, the Great Luo Dynasty also enjoyed a bountiful harvest.
The concerned Great Luo Emperor asked, “How is this year’s grain harvest?
”The Minister of Revenue immediately reported, “Reporting to Your Majesty, our Great Luo’s grain harvest this year is xx catties!
”The Great Luo Emperor furrowed his brows, “If I remember correctly, our harvest last year was xx catties, but this year it is only xx catties, almost a 30% decrease, isn’t it?
”The Minister of Revenue immediately knelt down, speaking anxiously, “Indeed, Your Majesty, please forgive me!
”“Speak!
Why has the grain yield decreased?
If you do not explain yourself clearly, I will strip you of your official hat this instant and throw you into the dungeon to be questioned!
” the Great Luo Emperor commanded sternly.
“Your Majesty, there are reasons for the decrease in the grain yield!
”The Minister of Revenue, trembling with fear, said, “This year, millions of agricultural workers rioted.
They not only looted the major cities but also trampled on some of the farmland, leading to the reduction in grain production!
”The Great Luo Emperor nodded gravely, his face darkening.
This was indeed a significant factor, and he bore an inescapable responsibility.
He had intended to follow the Great Xia model to rapidly revitalize the domestic economy, but for various reasons, it did not succeed, leading instead to the riots of the agricultural workers, who caused chaos with their arson, killings, and looting, leaving the country in disarray.
Even now, it has not recovered its vitality.
Fortunately, letting them go was the right decision.
Otherwise, the situation could have been even worse.
“Besides man-made disasters, there were natural calamities!
”The Minister of Revenue said with a wry smile, “Since the beginning of summer this year, for some unknown reason, there have been constant tornadoes!
Although these tornadoes dissipated quickly, they caused irreversible damage to our farmland!
For example, the rice seedlings in the eastern farmlands of our Dynasty were almost completely destroyed, yielding only about 30 to 40 percent of the grain!
”The Great Luo Emperor nodded heavily.
The mere mention of tornadoes filled him with anger!
For some reason unknown reason, tornadoes had frequently appeared in the eastern regions of his Dynasty since the beginning of summer.
They occurred every few days, sometimes several times a day.
The howling winds not only devastated numerous farmlands but also destroyed many trees and houses, leading to many people becoming homeless and having no choice but to flee to Great Xia to make a living.
If it were a man-made disaster, he could think of a way to solve it.
However, a natural disaster like this left him completely helpless, filled with pent-up frustration and nowhere to vent it.
He has already requested the assistance of esteemed masters from the Taoist Sect to investigate, hoping they can resolve the issue.
