SHE LIVE STREAMS MODERN LIFE TO ANCIENT PEOPLE AFTER FAILING TO CONQUER THE EMPE

Chapter 23: Here, everyone can Eat.

Chapter 23
In an instant, a tremendous sense of regret overwhelmed them like a tidal wave.

The greatest regret in life was to have no chance of meeting the esteemed Mr. Yuan.

The dream of Gu Sang... a world where no one goes hungry, which was not only the aspiration of that great man, but the dream of every person in ancient times!

"Your Highness, are there still people going hungry in your realm?"

"Do they all have rice to eat?"

"Have the commoners never suffered from famine? Have entire cities of people died due to lack of grain?"

At that moment.

It seemed as though the entire world fell silent.

Only Gu Sang's voice remained in answering:

A statement.

That shook one's heart and stirred the blood: "In our realm, out of every thousand people, nine hundred and ninety-nine never go hungry!"

"Every household has surplus grain, every family has stored provisions."

"Moreover, in some places, rice can even be planted three times a year - early rice, mid-season rice, and late rice, allowing for three harvests annually."

"It was thanks to Mr. Yuan that everyone could afford to eat, everyone could eat their fill!"

Upon hearing this, the over-fifty-year-old Minister of Revenue broke down in tears.

Many officials felt a profound regret, as if they were born too late to meet the great man.

Countless dreams were realized today, yet they felt a melancholic pang at realizing the sage had long passed, robbing them of any chance to seek his guidance or pay their respects.

All that remained was a lifelong regret.

"Your Highness, do you know the secret to cultivating this rice? Is there a special method?" an official asked the crucial question.

Gu Sang fell silent for a few seconds, then shook her head: "I'm sorry, I did not study agricultural knowledge, so I am not clear on this matter."

"However, I will be starting university next month, and once there, I can consult the professors of agriculture. You can take note, and conduct experiments at that time!"

The officials' eyes flickered with initial excitement and enthusiasm, but soon cooled.

In their hearts, they harbored doubts about Gu Sang's words.

Having experienced the officialdom for many years, they understood one thing very clearly - no one offers help for no reason.

All assistance comes with conditions.

Seeing the scrutinizing gazes of the officials in the hall, Gu Sang understood their suspicion. Turning her gaze to another screen showing the palace maids in Xuyang Palace, their innocent faces shone with joy and excitement.

They never doubted her motives.

Gu Sang did not dwell on these thoughts. Whether she had ulterior motives or simply wished to help, time would tell.

She strolled along the ridges as the sun gradually set.

Mosquitoes now swarmed in the air.

The hostel owner was washing potatoes and sweet potatoes in the courtyard. Seeing Gu Sang return, he greeted her warmly.

The officials widened their eyes in astonishment, staring at the objects in the courtyard and asking in shock: "What are those things the innkeeper is holding? Can they be eaten?"
