These words contained a strong deterrent power, making the hearts of the ancients who heard them warm.

What is a prosperous age?

For the ancients, having enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear was a prosperous age!

People of their generation had no food to eat every day and had to tighten their belts to survive. Once they encountered droughts and natural disasters, they would starve to death.

And...in the Empress's time, even the food pigs ate was better than that eaten by ordinary people!

"How saturated does the food supply have to be in order for the pigs to eat rice..."

"The world two thousand years from now, is it really... really that good?"

“How happy the people living there must be!”

The ancients forced a bitter smile with mixed feelings. They looked through the screen at the food piled in the pig basin, and their eyes couldn't help but become red.

But the ancients didn't know this either.

In fact, people living in modern times are also unhappy, with pressures from various mortgages and car loans, and various financial difficulties.

Children get up early and go to school late, and their relatives always tell them that only by getting into college can they change their destiny and find a good job.

Adults work overtime desperately to buy a car and a house in the city.

If.

Modern people can look back and see the miserable days of the ancients.

Maybe, maybe with comparison, I will slow down and be content with what I have...

-

Before I knew it, it was almost dark.

The sound of crew members talking could be heard outside. Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Sang turned off the live broadcast.

After Gu Sang turned off the live broadcast, the civil and military officials in the hall split into two factions and started arguing with each other.

The older ones form a faction, they are stubborn and unwilling to abandon the old and innovate.

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, sweet potatoes and potatoes are products from foreign countries. Why should a great nation like ours use products from a small foreign country?"

"Furthermore, the world that the Empress lives in is bizarre and strange. Not only do women walk around the streets with such openness, but they even walk with men, arm in arm, showing no respect at all."

"How can our country learn from such a shameless place? Those sweet potatoes, in my humble opinion, are definitely not edible!"

“.......”

For a while.

The ministers from both the old and young factions started arguing in the hall.

Children from poor families have witnessed the suffering when disasters strike, so they naturally agree with the promotion of sweet potatoes.

He also advised the emperor to send personnel to Lingnan and other places to search for the whereabouts of the sweet potatoes.

If you can't find it in Lingnan, then go overseas and bring it back.

The young ministers all knelt on the ground, pleading tearfully, "Why can't we eat it? The Queen said this is the best food to eat when disaster strikes!"

"As you can see, the production of sweet potatoes and other products is huge, so much so that even livestock can eat them."

"I don't care whether it's from overseas or not! I only know that it can stop people from going hungry. Food is the most important thing for people, so why should I care whether it comes from overseas or not?"

The old minister disapproved and said stubbornly: "This goes against the teachings of our ancestors."

The young minister's voice trembled with anger: "Ancestral teachings! Look at those suffering people. They've even lost their lives. What ancestral teachings do they need!"

"Sweet potatoes can feed the people and keep them alive. This is our ancestral motto!"

"Emperor Taizong once said that the people should be the foundation. If we can't even solve the people's livelihood issues..."

The two sides quarreled fiercely.

Pei Changying's ears were buzzing, and he felt like he was in a messy vegetable market. Both sides had their reasons.

"That's enough, what's there to argue about?!"

"Retreat!"

Pei Changying did not offer any solution. He just left the hall with a cold face and a huff of his sleeves.

The two ministers who were arguing:???

The emperor is leaving now?

So, what does the emperor mean?

Are you going to look for sweet potatoes? Tell me something!

Only the chief eunuch who followed Pei Changying knew that the emperor was angry with the imperial concubine.

It was one thing for Pei Changying to accept the live broadcast, but when asked to admit that the world of the imperial concubine was beautiful and grand, he was too proud to agree.

The emperor was still waiting for the imperial concubine to come back and admit her mistake, then kneel on the ground and beg him to be merciful and go find the sweet potatoes.

But some people, once lost, are lost and can never be returned!

......

After dinner, Gu Sang sat on the sofa and read the script, but until ten o'clock in the evening, no one requested a connection?

Gu Sang asked the system doubtfully.

System: "I don't feel a strong desire to connect."

"Does the host want to actively connect?"

Gu Sang frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

During today's live broadcast, the ancients were clearly very excited to see crops like rice and sweet potatoes.

Logically speaking, there would be many people who would like to ask about modern events in the evening.

"Host's merit exceeds 100, and you can watch the feedback after the live broadcast for free."

"Do you want to watch?"

"Watch." Gu Sang asked doubtfully.

The camera screen flashes.

Gu Sang saw the ministers who attended the court during the day gathered together, shouting that the imperial concubine must not have such good intentions and that the sweet potatoes might be poisonous.

Shouted again.

How can you eat things from overseas?

Introducing overseas food into our country is simply against our ancestral rules!

These ministers who usually claim to serve the people and put the people first are so ridiculous! So infuriating!

After watching it, Gu Sang sat silently on the sofa and couldn't help but sneer: "How ironic."
