Chapter 60

Looking at the frenziedly venting crowd, Xun Yu also did not stop them; after the crowd's emotions calmed down, he then spoke again:

My lords, the most urgent matter is still to first spread this good news throughout Tian Xia; now is the time for us to establish our prestige!

Xun Yu's face was solemn as he solemnly said to the crowd:

This is the first major victory won by the Imperial Court since the Yellow Turban Rebellion; it is time to tell the people of Tian Xia that the mighty Han Empire is about to rise again!

What Wenruo said is absolutely correct; this matter should be widely spread so that the people of Tian Xia can see the great strength of our Imperial Court!

As Xun Yu's words fell, Yuan Kui also immediately expressed agreement.

That's right, what Lord Yuan and Wenruo said is absolutely correct; this matter should be so!

Exactly, it should be so!

Afterward, Yang Biao, Wang Yun, Cai Yong, and others spoke up in agreement.

Good, this is settled; later I will arrange people to handle this matter, and during this time I will trouble you all, my lords!

Xun Yu immediately decided that he would personally handle this matter; finally, he again instructed the crowd

Haha, Wenruo is joking; we are all serving His Majesty, there's no talk of hardship!

Upon hearing Xun Yu's words, Wang Yun immediately laughed and said:

That's right, all for His Majesty's service; there is no such thing as hardship or not!

The others, upon hearing this, also nodded in agreement.

Hahaha, my lords, what you said is absolutely correct; then I will take my leave first.

After Xun Yu smiled and greeted everyone, he walked out of the Court Hall to attend to his own affairs.

Everyone watched Xun Yu leave, then after exchanging salutations, they all left the Court Hall.

……

After resting a night in Qi County, Liu Bian and his companions have already led the army out; they are expected to reach Chun Gu County in Anding Commandery, Liangzhou by this evening.

Yesterday, after Liu Bian adopted Guo Jia's suggestion that Xiahou Dun go ahead.

That afternoon, Xiahou Dun led Five Thousand cavalry toward Chun Gu County.

At this moment, Liu Bian was riding a Wuzhui Horse, leisurely following the army toward Chun Gu County.

Your Majesty, we will soon reach Chun Gu County; General Xiahou has sent word that the situation in Chun Gu County is the same as reported by the Dark Guard.

The army stationed in Chun Gu County had already left seven days ago, and they even took a large amount of grain and supplies!

Now, the townspeople have little remaining food; even what is stored at home can only last about half a year!

Just then, Jia Xu walked up to Liu Bian's side, his expression solemn, and whispered to him:

Don't worry, I have a countermeasure for this!

As for this, Liu Bian had never been worried; as long as there wasn't an immediate shortage of grain, he wouldn't worry.

Originally, the system had rewarded him with a full one hundred tons of corn seeds and hybrid rice seeds.

Now is the time to distribute them to them, and in the process, one can also gain a wave of National Fortune Value.

Originally, according to his initial idea, he planned to hand over this batch of seeds to Wang Yun for disposal after returning to the court.

But now he intends to split the corn seeds in half and give them to the people of Liangzhou to plant.

This way, their lives could also become a bit better.

Soon the army arrived at Chun Gu County in Anding Commandery; at this point, Chun Gu County had already been controlled by Xiahou Dun, who left a garrison and then headed toward Yinpan County.

Your Majesty, Miaocai has already arranged the garrison personnel, who are waiting for us; he himself has already led the army toward Yinpan County.

At the city gate of Chun Gu County, Cao Cao respectfully said to Liu Bian:

Good, then we will rest overnight in Chun Gu County tonight, and tomorrow go to Yinpan County to meet up with Miaocai.

It is already evening; traveling at night with the army would be inconvenient, so Liu Bian immediately decided to rest in the county town tonight.

Then I will go make the arrangements first!

After Cao Cao finished speaking respectfully to Liu Bian, he led his personal guards quickly toward the city gate of Chun Gu County.

Come on, let's also go into the city together!

Watching Cao Cao go ahead, Liu Bian also said to Lü Bu, Guo Jia, and others:

Soon the group arrived inside Chun Gu County's city, and after gathering in the county office's main hall,

Liu Bian then said to Jia Xu: 'Wenhe, I will leave ten tons of corn seeds in Chun Gu County; tomorrow you will distribute them to the people!'

Hearing Liu Bian mention something else they did not know, everyone looked at him with puzzled faces.

Your Majesty, this corn won't be a food like sweet potato, will it!

Jia Xu also wore a puzzled expression as he asked Liu Bian:

This thing, from Liu Bian's words, can be confirmed as a food; we just don't know what it looks like!

Liu Bian gave an affirmative answer to Jia Xu's guess: 'Wenhe's guess is not bad; however, this corn is somewhat different from sweet potato.'

Afterward, Liu Bian then explained to everyone the usage of corn, as well as its planting and yield.

After understanding, everyone looked at Liu Bian with faces full of awe, first the sweet potato with a yield of ten thousand catties per mu.

Now, another corn has emerged; although its yield is not as outrageous as that of sweet potato, it still has a yield of nearly one thousand catties per mu.

Your Majesty's methods are truly awe-inspiring; this kind of heavenly hard-to-obtain food, having even one is a great fortune—who would have thought that Your Majesty could actually obtain so much!

At this moment, Guo Jia also looked at Liu Bian with a complex expression, his tone mixed with awe as he sighed:

What Fengxiao said is absolutely correct; only someone like Your Majesty deserves such celestial food!

At this moment, Cao Cao also strongly agreed with Guo Jia's words!

These are nothing worth mentioning; later, I will show you some truly celestial foods, and these will not count as anything!

As for Guo Jia's words, Liu Bian felt that they were somewhat exaggerated.

These foods, sweet potato and corn, are commonplace in later ages; it's just that this era has not yet introduced them.

In Liu Bian's heart, only the ingredients rich in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy found in the System Mall can be called immortal objects.

Your horizons must broaden from now on; these are merely Mortal Grade ingredients, while true Warriors eat them.

All are ingredients rich in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy; only those containing Spiritual Energy can enhance Martial Dao cultivation.

In the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, there is Spiritual Rice, Spiritual Medicine, and the flesh and blood of powerful beasts; these are what Warriors pursue.

Liu Bian saw the crowd shocked by the corn he took out, felt shocked himself, and involuntarily gave them a brief lecture on the common knowledge of the Cultivation Realm.

It seems that after returning, I, the Emperor, must find some basic knowledge of the Cultivation Realm in the System for them; otherwise, their horizons will remain limited to this petty mundane world.

If it weren't for the System introducing these things to Liu Bian, he would be no different from everyone else.

However, now that we have discovered this in time, it is not too late; otherwise, everyone would be like a novice.
