Chapter 327.1

In the imperial palace of Great Wu, the Great Wu Emperor has been looking troubled lately.

Its all because of the disturbances caused by Great Xia.

He thought that after surviving the demon incident, everyone would be on the same level, striving to restore their national power.

But Great Xia surged ahead, leaving them far behind.

From start to finish, they were unaffected by the demon.

After the demon disappeared, they annexed more than a dozen countries without a fight, expanding their territory by millions of li and significantly increasing their national power.

Moreover, their Great Xia swordsmith Ouyezi made a breakthrough and became a Grandmaster.

This means that Great Xia not only has an additional Grandmaster but also signifies a continuous production of divine weapons, further distancing themselves from the rest.

If this development continues, Great Xia will inevitably become stronger, and they will become weaker.

Anyone with a blade looming over their head would feel uncomfortable.

Great Xia is increasingly showing this tendency.

However, the thought of Great Xias high-yield rice falling into their hands made the Emperors worried expression relax.

After all, following the demon incident, Great Wu relied on this batch of high-yield rice to recover.

We really have to thank Great Xia! If it werent for their righteousness, we wouldnt have access to such high-yield grain! With this rice, it wouldnt take two years for Great Wu to recover! A loss may turn out to be a blessing. I wont hold you accountable for now!

Just then, the Prime Minister hurried in.

Your Majesty, urgent news!

Seeing the normally composed Prime Minister in such a panic, the Emperor of Great Wu felt a surge of foreboding and frowned, Minister, whats the matter that youre so flustered? Speak carefully.

The Prime Minister, in a frightened tone, said, Reporting to Your Majesty, there might be a problem with the high-yield rice from Great Xia that we planted this year! Up to now, there are no sprouts in the rice fields!

What? No sprouts yet? The Emperor of Great Wu stood up in shock.

He was not an Emperor who was aloof from worldly matters. He had a good understanding of agricultural production.

To protect this grain, he even enlisted a Grandmaster; there couldnt possibly be a problem.

Moreover, he ordered people to collect grain from various places to prevent any tampering by Great Xia.

In other words, the grain he had was from all over Great Xiaofficial, private, and even directly from farmersso it was even less likely that there was an issue.

So, what exactly were the problems? Why werent they growing?

Whats the situation in Great Xia?

The Prime Minister, trembling, said, Your Majesty, we have just received news from Great Xia! The rice sprouts there have already emerged and are already about a zhang tall, this is true for the whole country!

What?

Great Wu Emperor was shocked again: Their sprouts have already emerged and were a zhang tall?

People dont fear scarcity but resent inequality!

His own fields yielded nothing while Great Xias thrived! They were the same grain, so why the disparity?

Furious, Great Wu Emperors face contorted: Who will explain this to me? Why can theirs grow well, and ours cannot?

Immediately, officials from the Ministry of Revenue and other agricultural experts were summoned.

Great Wu Emperor pointed to the barren paddy fields and said with a blank expression, I want an answer now, a satisfactory answer. If you cannot provide one, dont even think about leaving.

The officials exchanged glances, heads bowed, none daring to speak out.
