Chapter 359

Lin Beifan immediately opened the Empire Sandbox to check the reason.

He instantly noticed that there was an additional piece of territory on the Empire Sandbox, not too big or too small, exactly 600,000 square li, located at the southwest corner of the Empire.

Lin Beifan frowned: Great Kuang Kingdom. when did it become part of Great Xia?

His perspective switched to the territory of Great Kuang Kingdom.

In the capital city of Great Kuang Kingdom, a million citizens were besieging the city, among them many experts.

Their faces were filled with anger, seemingly ready to overthrow the government.

The Great Kuang Emperor stood on the city wall, pale and sweating profusely, shouting to the people below: My fellow people, please calm down and listen to me!

Immediately, someone burst out in anger: We have no food to eat, how can we stay calm?

Yes, Ive been hungry for seven days! Do you know how Ive been surviving these days? Ive been chewing on tree bark!

If we dont get food, were going to starve to death!

As the reigning Emperor, what use are you if you dont help us solve this problem?

And you still want to scrape our grain, bah!

The flustered Emperor repeatedly tried to calm them down: Please, calm down. I am aware of your hardships, and am I not addressing the issue right now?

How are you addressing it? You call this a solution? The crowd grew even more agitated.

If we hadnt caught on in time, you would have already slipped away!

Indulging in drinking and pleasure without any ambition is one thing, but trying to run away at a critical moment? Such irresponsibility, you are unworthy of being a ruler!

Lets not listen to his excuses anymore! Lets just storm in, seize the granary, and take his life!

Yes, yes, lets do it!

The crowds anger surged.

The Great Kuang Emperor once again tried to reassure them: My people, acting this way wont solve the problem! You must understand that even if you kill me, it wont produce any grain!

Then tell us, what can we do? The people were both angry and helpless.

My people, in fact, I have already thought of a good solution!

The Great Kuang Emperor confidently proclaimed: Although we dont have grain here, Great Xia does. They have plenty of it, more than enough to feed our entire nation! So, wouldnt they have to take care of us if we become part of Great Xia and become their citizens? By then, wont we have grain to eat?

Upon hearing this, the people were inwardly moved.

Indeed!

By becoming citizens of Great Xia, they would have grain to eat.

The Great Xia Emperor was benevolent, sustaining the people of the entire nation with his own efforts and praised by everyone.

Fortunately, Lin Beifan was mentally prepared and said with a serious expression, Approved!

A hesitant minister asked, Your Majesty, is there any trickery involved?

Lin Beifan laughed and said, My ministers, you worry too much! In my view, they probably ran out of food and had no choice but to join Great Xia to seek refuge! Since they are willing to submit, we should accept them! After all, if theres one thing we have plenty of, its food!

Yes, Your Majesty! The courtiers received the order.

Lin Beifans imperial decree was quickly sent to the Great Kuang Kingdom.

The entire Great Kuang Kingdom was overjoyed.

Great, Great Xia is willing to accept us. We wont go hungry or cold anymore!

From now on, we are citizens of a Celestial Empire!

The Emperor is benevolent, unmatched throughout the ages!

Even the Great Kuang Emperor wept with joy: Its wonderful! Weve finally survived, no more eating tree bark!

The news spread quickly throughout the world, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Is it really possible to do something like this?

Great Xia expands its territory without sending troops?

Can wars be fought like this?

Great Xia is too lucky, isnt it? This works?

This event provided a great enlightenment to other countries.

The reason they waged wars and revolutions was purely to solve the food problem.

There were only two solutions: either kill those who need to eat, which means less mouth to feed or obtain enough food.

Now, there was a bright path; they could have food without fighting by joining Great Xia.

As a result, revolutions within other countries became even more intense.

Either you, the royal family, surrender to Great Xia, or we will overthrow you and then surrender to Great Xia.

You decide.
