These women really listened to the two old ladies.

Please get out of the way quickly.

Shangguan Ziqi directed everyone to go ashore in order.

There are about four hundred of them together.

About the same number as these women.

Emperor Qiming went ashore and came before the two old ladies.

"What are your names, two elders?" Emperor Qiming was interested in this island and was ready to ask some questions.

"Are you really the emperor?" One of the old ladies wanted to confirm it again.

"Old man, I just said that I am now the emperor. My son is now the emperor."

"Then can you be the master of your son?"

"Old man, you are asking a question. Since I have passed the throne to him, I cannot interfere too much in government affairs. But if he does something wrong, I can teach him a lesson."

Emperor Qiming was a little surprised as to why the old woman asked this question.

Moreover, the two old ladies did not show any fear or trepidation when they heard him say that he was the emperor.

The two old ladies were a little disappointed after hearing what Emperor Qiming said, but they still led everyone to continue walking up the hillside.

"Your Majesty, we two old ladies are the ones who are in charge of this island. Her name is Cui Mei and my name is Ye Chan. Everyone calls us Grandma Cui and Grandma Ye." The old lady named Ye Chan introduced.

Emperor Qiming walked and chatted with the two elders.

Yu Yuanzheng led the three children and walked behind them.

There are two more maids, who were newly added in the past two years, named Lixiang and Taoxiang. The original four Chinese medicine maids had already married.

But her three guards always followed her.

Became her exclusive staff.

At this time, Chunlei was helping to move the master's clothes from the boat.

We have to board the big ship again to complete the move. The first round only brings people ashore, so the luggage has to go on another trip.

"Grandma Ye, what is the name of this island?" the old prince suddenly asked.

They followed him all the way, and when they climbed over the hillside that they had seen when they first came ashore, they saw endless fertile fields.

It was golden at this time.

It is the time when the rice is ripe.

"This island was named Haiyue Island by our ancestors." Grandma Ye mentioned the name with a faint smile on her face.

According to our ancestors, this name was given by a well-educated scholar.

"Your rice is growing very well." Emperor Qiming looked at the large field of rice ready to be harvested and praised it highly.

He had also been to the fields to see the rice mature, and it looked like this field was not as good as this one, with the rice ears heavy.

"The fields here are fertile, and we can yield five stones of rice per acre." Grandma Ye was very happy to hear Emperor Qiming praising their good crops.

Emperor Qiming and the old prince were both surprised when they heard this.

Such a high output?

The best yield per acre of fertile farmland in the Wei Dynasty was four shi (1.2 m2). That was for relatively fertile fields; many fields did not even reach that yield.

If the Great Wei could be so productive, how many people would it be able to feed?

Emperor Qiming felt warm in his heart.

Could it be a seed problem?

The chief has to ask for some of their grain seeds.

Yu Yuanzheng had never grown rice, so she didn’t understand.

But she followed them silently and listened to their conversation.

All the women just now dispersed and went back to their own homes.

Granny Ye and Granny Cui led about 400 people to where they lived.

But there were too many people and it was impossible to accommodate them all.

Shangguan Ziqi asked the sailors to set up camp on the spot.

They took all the camping equipment ashore.

Grandma Ye and Grandma Cui discussed it and asked the villagers to vacate two houses for the retired emperor and the old prince to live in.

Along the way, through chatting, I also learned the identity of the old prince's family.

The two old ladies also asked each family to bring some food to make lunch for them.

The soldiers cooked for themselves as there was enough food on the ship.

All we need is some firewood from the villagers on the island.

Yu Yuanzheng invited the two old ladies to have dinner with them.

There are still many things that are not yet understood clearly.

It was very strange that they had not seen any men on the island since they came ashore.

Are there only women on this island?

How is this possible?

The two old people were very pleased.

Cook with pear and peach aroma.

While waiting for the meal, Yu Yuanzheng asked the two mothers-in-law to sit down and made some tea for them.

Granny Ye and Granny Cui looked at the hot tea in front of them, not knowing what it was.

But he didn't ask anything, just picked it up and took a sip.

But as soon as they drank it, they both frowned.

Then he put down the teacup and stopped drinking.

"What's wrong? Is it not to your taste?" Yu Yuanzheng asked puzzledly.

"Princess Rong, we have never drunk this before, and it tastes a bit bitter." Granny Ye told the truth.

After hearing what she said, Emperor Qiming and the old prince both knew what was going on.

The villagers on this island probably never left the island. There is no tea on the island, so they have never drunk it.

Yu Yuanzheng also figured it out.

Moreover, since they arrived on the island, through chatting, the two mothers-in-law knew their identities, but did not show any awe.

This shows that they have no idea what a monarch means.

䀴The two of them just said that they are the masters of this island, which means that they are the local emperors here.

Looking at their clothes, they were all made of linen, and they were of relatively rough quality.

"Two elders, please tell me about the situation of Haiyue Island." Emperor Qiming asked what he wanted to know.

But both mothers-in-law were a little hesitant.

I don’t know how to say it.

"What? Can't I tell you?" Emperor Qiming turned serious, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The dragon's might, which had been high above them for many years, made the two old ladies feel an invisible pressure in an instant.

"Your Majesty, we don't know what to say." Granny Ye looked embarrassed.

Yu Yuanzheng also noticed the awkwardness of the two elderly people.

"My two mothers-in-law, how about this: I ask questions and you answer them?" Yu Yuanzheng took the initiative to ease their tension.

"Princess Rong, please tell me." Mother-in-law Cui said immediately, her body relaxing a little.

She was really frightened by the emperor's aura just now.

"We just came all the way here, and we didn't see any men on the island. All we saw were women. What's going on?" Yu Yuanzheng asked the question that puzzled her the most.

When the two mothers-in-law heard this, they looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, Princess Pei discovered the biggest problem on their island as soon as she arrived.

After that, the two old ladies began to wipe away their tears.

Before long he stood up and knelt before Emperor Qiming.

"Grand Emperor, you were once the emperor, you must have a way, please save our Haiyue Island."

The two old men kowtowed while crying and shedding tears.

Several people were puzzled by their sudden change of mood.

"Two elders, please stand up and speak. If you have any problem, please tell me so that I can know if I can help you.

But the two old men refused to get up and kept kowtowing.

"Your Majesty, you must save us. This island is cursed. There are more than 800 people on the island, but less than 100 men.

Among the children born nowadays, there are even fewer boys, with only one boy in ten babies.

I estimate that in a few decades, there may not even be a single man left.

There may be no one left in our entire Haiyue Island."

Granny Ye was the first to raise her head, crying very sadly.

"What?"

After hearing this, Emperor Qiming stood up in surprise.

How could this happen?
