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

Chapter 24: The Pedantic Men

Chapter 24
These words carried a powerful sense of awe, stirring the hearts of the ancient people who heard them.

What is a golden age?

To the ancients, a golden age was simply having enough to eat and wear!

In their era, the common people lived day to day, constantly tightening their belts, and whenever drought or natural disaster struck, they would starve to death.

But in the Noble Consort's time, even the pigs were fed better than the common people!

"How bountiful must the grain harvest be for the pigs to be fed rice?"

"Is the world two thousand years in the future truly... truly so good?"

"The common people there must be so happy!"

The ancient people let out a bittersweet smile, gazing through the screen at the piles of food in the pig troughs, their eyes reddening.

But the ancient people did not know that even the people living in the modern world were not truly happy, burdened by mortgages, car loans, and financial difficulties.

Children were studying from dawn to dusk, constantly told by their families that the only way to change their fate is to get into a good university and find a good job.

Adults were working overtime tirelessly, just to be able to afford a house and a car in the city.

If only the modern people could take a look back at the miserable lives of the ancients.

Perhaps, perhaps with that comparison, they would slow down, and learn to be content...

Unnoticed, night had already fallen.

The voices of the crew members outside reached their ears, and Gu Sang saw that it was about time, so he turned off the live stream.

After Gu Sang ended the live stream, the officials in the grand hall divided into two factions, arguing fiercely.

The elders stubbornly refused to abandon the old ways and embrace new innovations.

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, these sweet potatoes and potatoes are foreign goods from overseas lands. As the grand empire that we are, why should we use the things of these small foreign countries?"

"And the Noble Consort's world is strange and bizarre - not only do the women walk about brazenly without propriety, they even walk arm-in-arm with men!"

"A place so shameless, how could we possibly learn from it? Those sweet potatoes and potatoes, I'm sure they are not fit for consumption!"

"..."

In an instant, the elder officials and the younger officials were all arguing loudly in the grand hall.

The young officials from humble backgrounds, who had witnessed the suffering during times of disaster, naturally supported the promotion of sweet potatoes.

They earnestly pleaded with the Emperor to send people to the southern regions to find sweet potatoes, and if they couldn't be found there, to bring them back from overseas.

The young officials knelt on the floor, tears in their eyes as they begged, "How can we not eat them? The Noble Consort herself said that these would be the best food when disaster strikes!"

"You've all seen it, sweet potatoes and such have high yields, enough to feed even the livestock."

"I don't care if they're from overseas or not! I only know that they can keep people from starving, and since food is the foundation of the people's livelihood, why should we care where it comes from?"
