I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory
Chapter Summary
“Your Majesty, according to the information we have gathered, the Great Dé Dynasty has suffered approximately 2 million human fatalities in this ice disaster! The number of livestock that froze to death includes 10,000 cattle, 10,000 horses, 5,000 donkeys, 8,000 sheep, 12,000 pigs, and a combined total of around 120,000 chickens, ducks, and geese! “Report to Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, the Great Feng Dynasty has suffered approximately 4 million human fatalities i...
“By the way, how are the other countries faring?
”The Great Luo Emperor thought for a moment and added, “There’s no need to report on Great Xia’s situation, I don’t want to hear it!
”“Yes, Your Majesty!
” the Minister of Revenue stepped forward.
“Your Majesty, according to the information we have gathered, the Great Dé Dynasty has suffered approximately 2 million human fatalities in this ice disaster!
The number of livestock that froze to death includes 10,000 cattle, 10,000 horses, 5,000 donkeys, 8,000 sheep, 12,000 pigs, and a combined total of around 120,000 chickens, ducks, and geese!
”The complexion of the Great Luo Emperor gradually became troubled.
Originally, he had hoped to comfort himself by comparing his own country’s situation with the misfortunes of other nations and to boost the morale of his people.
But now, he realized that the gap between Great Luo and Great Dé was not as wide as he thought.
For instance, in terms of human fatalities, Great Luo had 1 million deaths, while Great Dé had 2 million.
It seemed like a difference of double, but considering the population base of both countries, the difference was less than 5 percent, almost negligible.
And when it came to the loss of livestock, both sides were basically on par.
This situation was quite unusual!
Keep in mind that he had mobilized the entire nation’s resources to combat the disaster.
Great Luo had made preparations ahead of Great Dé Dynasty, yet the gap was not significantly widened.
The Great Luo Emperor pinched the bridge of his nose and knocked on the table: “Are these figures accurate?
Could there be any discrepancies?
”The Minister of Revenue immediately reported: “Report to Your Majesty, this data has been obtained from our insiders and corroborated by spies within the territory of Great Dé.
The information is probably accurate and reliable!
”The Great Luo Emperor became disheartened.
Despite all the preparations and sacrifices, they still hadn’t managed to outpace Great Dé.
He could only console himself by thinking: The Great Dé Dynasty is an established dynasty with profound heritage and strength, so it’s understandable that they would fare like this in such a situation.
“How about the Great Feng Dynasty?
Their losses must be quite severe, right?
” the Great Luo Emperor inquired.
“Report to Your Majesty, according to the information we have received, the Great Feng Dynasty has suffered approximately 4 million human fatalities in this ice disaster!
The number of livestock that froze to death includes 15,000 cattle, 12,000 horses, 6,000 donkeys, 10,000 sheep, 15,000 pigs, and a combined total of around 150,000 chickens, ducks, and geese!
”The Great Luo Emperor was disheartened once again.
He found that aside from a higher number of human deaths, the other losses suffered by the Great Feng Dynasty were not much greater than those of the Great Luo.
It’s important to note that the Great Feng Dynasty could hardly be considered a dynasty anymore.
Their national power had severely declined, and they barely had the strength and resources to protect their livestock and property.
Yet, their losses were almost the same as those of Great Luo.
As for the higher number of human deaths, it might actually be a blessing in disguise for Great Feng.
After being plundered twice, they had hardly any food left.
With fewer mouths to feed, this could alleviate some of the social tensions.
“Is this data correct?
I find it hard to believe!
” the Great Luo Emperor said gravely.
“Report to Your Majesty, the data is accurate and reliable, your humble servant has not deceived you in the slightest!
” the Minister of Revenue assured.
The Great Luo Emperor became even more disheartened: “Alright, continue with your report!
”The Minister of Revenue went on to report the situations of other nations.
Surprisingly, the losses suffered by these countries were not much different from those of Great Luo.
Whether more or less, the differences were marginal, almost on the same level.
Thus, the Great Luo Emperor was deeply frustrated: “Why?
Why are their losses so minimal?
I have mobilized the entire nation to combat this disaster.
While they were unprepared, their losses are almost the same as ours!
This is so unreasonable!
There’s no logic to it!
”It should be noted that in order to deal with this ice disaster, he had been slaughtered by Lin Beifan, which almost brought him to tears.
If this part of the loss were taken into account, then the losses of Great Luo would be nearly the same as those of other countries!
In other words, all his efforts over these days had been in vain!
Being surpassed by Great Xia was one thing, as they were unaffected by the ice disaster.
But why could the other countries manage as well?
They, too, suffered from the ice disaster, and they were even less prepared than he was, so why were their losses almost the same?
For him, who is so wise, valiant, visionary, saintly and whose aspirations surpass those of the sage rulers, how could he possibly bear it?
“Your Majesty, it is indeed the case.
Your humble servant dares not deceive you!
” the Minister of Revenue lamented inwardly.
Great Luo Emperor flew into a rage: “These figures must be wrong, I don’t believe it!
Investigate again, and if there are still errors, I will have your heads!
”“Yes, yes, Your Majesty!
” The Minister of Revenue scurried away in a panic.
Still not reassured, the Great Luo Emperor ordered other departments and his own trusted followers to conduct another investigation.
Several days passed, and when all the data was reported back, Great Luo Emperor lost his composure once again.
Because the new data was no different from the previous report.
In other words, all the efforts he had made over the past month had been in vain, and he had not surpassed other countries by much.
“Ahh!
Why?
Why is this happening?
” Great Luo Emperor exploded with anger.
His mental state was extremely shaken!
He felt an urge to take revenge on society!
At this moment, Song Yufei floats over gracefully.
Holding the data, Great Luo Emperor demanded, “Fairy, what is going on?
Why has Great Luo put forth such tremendous effort only to reap so little in the end?
Fairy, can you tell me why?
”Song Yufei replied with a touch of sympathy, “Your Majesty, according to our Taoist Sect’s investigations, Great Luo faced more extreme weather conditions than any other country during this ice disaster!
”“In Great Luo, the winds are stronger, the snow is heavier, and the weather is colder!
If other countries faced an ice disaster that occurs once every fifty years, then what we in Great Luo have encountered is equivalent to a once-in-a-century ice disaster!
”“Ah?
But why?
Why do others face a disaster that happens once every fifty years, while Great Luo faces one that occurs once a century?
?
Why does the heavens treat me this way?
” Great Luo Emperor staggered back three steps in his anger.
With a retch, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Because he was truly hurt!
He felt that heaven had been filled with malice towards him this year!
First, there were frequent tornadoes that destroyed his good fields and houses.
Then, the earth dragon turned over, annihilating his army of a million and sweeping away countless stores of grain.
And now, a once-in-a-century ice disaster!
One disaster followed another without pause!
He wanted to question heaven with his conscience.
What had he done wrong, and why was he being targeted like this?
Song Yufei consoled, “Your Majesty, in fact, you have done very well.
This is a natural disaster, so it’s not your fault!
You see, if you look at it from another perspective, Great Luo’s losses would have been even more severe if it weren’t for your previous efforts!
”“Ah~~”Great Luo Emperor, clutching his cold heart, replied weakly, “Thank you for your comforting words, Fairy.
I feel much better now!
However, I may have caught a cold.
My dragon body is unwell.
I will return to the palace to rest.
Please feel free to do as you wish, Fairy!
”After speaking, he staggered step by step toward his sleeping quarters.
Song Yufei watched his retreating figure, wanting to offer more words of comfort but not knowing what to say, and could only heave a sigh.
