I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Great Wu Emperor looked down at them: “If no one can give me a satisfactory answer within an hour, then all of you will be beheaded. I have no need for the useless!”

“Ah, this…” The officials were terrified, their sweat pouring down like rain.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed, an official finally mustered the courage to stand up: “Your Majesty, it might be due to the unsuitability of the local soil and water conditions!”

The Great Xia Emperor showed no emotion: “Explain in detail, I am listening!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The official carefully spoke: “As the saying goes, ‘oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and those grown in Huabei are trifoliate oranges!’ The high-yield grain we have was transported from Great Xia, which is over 2000 li away from here. It’s possible that due to differences in weather and environment, the rice variety is not suitable, and that’s why it won’t grow!”

Great Wu Emperor nodded: “Your explanation is not bad!”

The official let out a sigh of relief.

But at that moment, the Great Wu Emperor said: “If you knew this all along, why didn’t you speak up sooner? Speaking only now, were you waiting to see me made a fool of myself? Take him away and behead him!”

With a snap, a head fell to the ground.

The officials were terrified by this gruesome spectacle, their faces pale and sweating profusely.

Some officials’ legs gave out.

“Who else can give me a reasonable explanation? If you don’t speak up, I will send you on your way right now to save on food!” the Great Wu Emperor said calmly.

But the officials were familiar with this situation.

The calmer the Emperor appeared, the angrier he was on the inside.

“Your Majesty, it might be a problem with the transportation of the grain! Our grain is transported by sea, and it’s possible that the grain was accidentally soaked in seawater, which is why it won’t grow!” another person said.

The Great Wu Emperor nodded: “Well said, take him away and behead him!”

And so, another head fell to the ground.

It rolled in front of the officials, the eyes of the dead staring at everyone.

“Your Majesty, it might be sabotage by Great Xia! Our high-yield grain all comes from Great Xia, and they couldn’t possibly remain indifferent. They must have secretly tampered with our grain!”

The Great Wu Emperor nodded: “Well spoken! Can you tell me how they tampered with it?”

“This…” The official was at a loss for words.

The Great Wu Emperor waved his hand: “It seems you don’t know either, just making up an excuse to deceive me. This is a crime of deceiving the Emperor. Take him away and behead him, I don’t want to see you anymore!”

With a snap, a third head fell to the ground.

“Your Majesty, it might be due to a demon plague! Previously, the great demon from the Green Garment Tower wreaked havoc here; it could have been him who sabotaged our grain, his heart is extremely vicious!” someone else said.

The Great Wu Emperor laughed angrily: “You’re quite good at shifting the blame, not even sparing the dead! Take him away and behead him!”

And so, another head fell to the ground.

Following this, the officials spoke up one by one, sharing their thoughts.

But no matter who spoke, the result was the same: heads fell to the ground without exception.

Everyone finally realized that the Emperor didn’t want explanations.

He wanted to vent his anger!

In this way, the Great Wu Emperor killed batch after batch of people but still did not feel appeased.

At the same time, other countries also discovered that their rice fields were not yielding any grain.

After an investigation, they still couldn’t find the reason.

Thus, amidst each Emperor’s furious slaughter, many officials were beheaded.

Then, they immediately sowed their own grain to remedy the situation.

“It’s ultimately too late! Sowing the grain now, by the time of the autumn harvest, it would be good to have a yield of thirty to forty percent!” Lin Beifan secretly rejoiced in his heart.

The mines he had set had finally exploded!

It had blown up the whole world, sparing no one!

The world order was about to change because of this!

And they, Great Xia, can make a hefty profit from this, earning a fortune that overflows the pot!

Awesome!!!

At this moment, Lin Beifan noticed a pair of beautiful eyes staring intently at him.

“Yaoyao, why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?” Lin Beifan asked, puzzled as he touched his cheek.

Yaoyao, with her hand propping up her cheek, didn’t blink: “I don’t know why, but I feel like this has something to do with you!”

“What do you mean?” Lin Beifan was even more confused.

“What else could it be? Of course, it’s about the fact that no country in the world can grow rice! All their grain comes from you guys in Great Xia, and now, without exception, they can’t grow anything! Tell me, did you have something to do with this?”

Yaoyao’s eyes were fixed on Lin Beifan, as if she wanted an answer.

But Lin Beifan knew that what she wanted was not an answer but an attitude!

So, Lin Beifan cradled her little head and planted a kiss on her delicate face.

Yaoyao was stunned: “What are you doing?”

“Stop overthinking it. If they can’t grow crops, maybe it’s because the land isn’t suitable for them, or maybe they’re unlucky. What does it have to do with me?” Lin Beifan said with a smile.

“Is it really not you?”

Yaoyao tilted her head and muttered softly, “I always feel like it was you, but I have no evidence…”
