Jiang Tian transmigrated to the Great Xia Dynasty and was immediately met with a drought that had lasted for many years. The county magistrate, in order to pray for rain from the Dragon King, prepa...
"This... Third Young Master, I'll go back and choose one for you." Li Jing had finally encountered someone unreasonable.
"That's more like it."
The next two days.
Jiang Tian, accompanied by two tigers, wandered around the palace.
Princess Qiong Yao saw the two fierce tigers and hid far away.
"Qiong Yao, come here." Jiang Tian beckoned to Princess Qiong Yao.
Princess Qiong Yao shook her head repeatedly.
This little girl is afraid of even dogs, let alone two fierce tigers.
"This tiger won't dare bite you, but if they do, I'll skin them alive."
The little girl was still trembling with fear.
"From now on you are their mistress, come here quickly."
The little girl then walked over cautiously.
Seeing Princess Qiong Yao's pale face, Jiang Tian held the little girl's hand and could clearly feel that the little girl was terrified.
"My lord, I'm so scared I'm about to pee my pants, I have to go..." Princess Qiongyao was in a sorry state.
"Go ahead, go ahead... but you'll get used to it eventually."
...
It was late at night.
These days.
Song Yingxing and his apprentices installed electric lights in every corner of the palace.
To Jiang Tian's surprise, after Song Yingxing installed electric lights in the palace, the system store also had electric light appliances.
Jiang Tian estimated.
If Song Yingxing's generator is further improved, more electrical appliances will be unlocked in the system shop.
In the evening.
Inside the palace, the lights were dazzling.
People both inside and outside the imperial city could see the lights shooting into the sky.
Originally, these Khitans in the capital hated Jiang Tian to the core.
In their view, it was Jiang Tian who killed so many Khitans.
The number of Khitan soldiers who died tragically at Jiang Tian's hands totaled 250,000.
However, after Jiang Tian took over the palace, the palace was brightly lit at night.
Many commoners gathered in twos and threes, discussing the palace.
"Ever since Jiang Tian, a man from the Great Xia, moved into the palace, the palace has been brightly lit every night, with light shining directly into the sky."
"It is rumored that Jiang Tian is a god."
"I heard that when Jiang Tian was in the Great Xia Dynasty, he cured the drought in the Great Xia Dynasty."
"Putting aside everything else, just the people in the three cities of Longcheng alone, their land can produce grain once a month."
"Really? There's such a thing in this world?" many people asked in disbelief.
"Of course, the yield per mu can be as high as 1,000 jin. If a family has one mu of land, and one mu produces more than 1,000 jin a month, that's more than 10,000 jin a year."
Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed in admiration.
These herders lead a very miserable life.
If the weather is favorable, that's fine.
If a major snowstorm like today were to occur, a large portion, or even all, of the herders' cattle and sheep would freeze to death.
The herders grazing their livestock on the grasslands could also freeze to death in this snowstorm.
"Not only that, I heard that Jiang Tian also distributed cattle and sheep to the people."
"There's really such a good thing?"
"Of course. Before Jiang Tian became an official in the Great Xia Dynasty, countless people starved to death in the Great Xia Dynasty, and the roadsides were full of the white bones of dead people."
After Jiang Tian became an official in the Great Xia Dynasty, the people of the Great Xia Dynasty had enough to eat and wear.
They simply eat their fill and stay warm.
That alone is enough to make everyone envious.
The vast majority of these herders have worked their entire lives to the utmost, yet they still can't get enough to eat or wear.
"If Lord Jiang Tian were to rule over our Khitan, the lives of us common people would be better."
"That's right. More and more people from the Great Xia Dynasty are coming here to do business. They are completely different from before."
“The people of the Great Xia Dynasty used to be stingy, but now they are full of confidence, and it’s clear that they are living a comfortable life.”
More and more people in the capital sincerely hope that Jiang Tian will rule them.
In their view.
Empress Dowager Xiao was quite incompetent.
Moreover, Empress Xiao loved to cause trouble.
If it weren't for Empress Xiao's two military campaigns against the Xia Dynasty, the Khitan would not have lost 200,000 elite troops.
Comparing goods will only lead to discarding them; comparing people will only lead to ruin.
Compared to Jiang Tian.
Empress Xiao of the Khitan, Xiao Tianzuo, Xiao Tianyou, the Southern King, the Northern King... these people are nothing.
"I heard there are quite a few small suns in the palace."
"No one in the entire Khitan could pluck the sun from the sky at night."
"Jiang Tian is the emperor whom we Khitan people all hope for."
"If Jiang Tian can rule, it will be a great blessing for us Khitan people."
Gradually, Jiang Tian became a god in the eyes of these Khitans.
Everyone has a tendency to admire the strong.
Under Empress Xiao's rule for more than a decade, their lives were barely manageable.
This has led many people to hope that Jiang Tian can notify them.
...
Murong Jun and Murong Min have thoroughly investigated Jiang Tian's location these past few days.
That dilapidated little courtyard in the west of the city.
"Gentlemen," Murong Jun said solemnly, "today, after disguising myself, I entered the Imperial Guard's prison."
They barely managed to get in while their dogs were being taken out to be fed.
"Young Master Murong was beaten too badly."
He was covered in blood.
In some places, new wounds overlap with old ones. With the weather so cold, I'm truly afraid Young Master Murong won't be able to hold on.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have seen the imperial palace in the capital these past few days. At night, the lights are as bright as day."
"The people in the city all say that Jiang Tian is a god descended from heaven, and that he plucked the sun from the sky."
Are we a match for Jiang Tian?
"Bullshit," Murong Jun said angrily. "These people are just spreading rumors. If he were really a god from heaven, why would he come down to earth to suffer?"
"Gentlemen, do you still remember what the commander-in-chief instructed us?" Murong Jun paused for a moment and asked.
"The commander said that Jiang Tian has a group of capable men under his command. If we can capture all of these capable men, we can bring them to our Xianbei."
We no longer need to be afraid of them.
The weapons they created could all be made by this group of talented people.
"If we also had such weapons, even if we couldn't deal with Jiang Tian, it would be more than enough to deal with the 16 kingdoms of the grasslands."
Everyone nodded in agreement: "Everyone, let's clarify our objective now. It would be best if we could capture Jiang Tian. If we can't capture Jiang Tianye, we can take some of Jiang Tian's men who have acquired weapons with us."
Murong Min glanced at Murong Jun: "Have all of the more than 1,000 wolf guards we planted in Shangjing City been wiped out?"
Murong Jun sighed helplessly: "That's how it should be. Otherwise, someone would have contacted us long ago and carried out tonight's operation."
"Gentlemen, success or failure hinges on this."
