Chapter 239 Chao Chao: Everyone in Daqi can see me
What? What do you mean?
He had prepared everything and the plan was very complete. Now he was told that Ah Shan woke up for just a short while, and then went into sleep and turned off again?
"I haven't said a word yet."
The other ministers looked at each other, then couldn't help but lower their heads and look at the people not far away.
That's right, except for some officials and soldiers who are here to maintain law and order, most of the people here are ordinary people who are ragged, live in poverty and are skinny, and there are even homeless orphans and beggars.
Emperor Jingxuan was standing on the altar, on which were placed grains and coarse linen clothes. He was kneeling on the ground very piously, waiting for Chao Chao to finish talking with Ashan, and then he would tell it about the current situation of Daqi.
The ministers had a very heated discussion yesterday, and in the end the proposal of "impressing Ashan with sincerity" prevailed.
So they gathered the people near the capital, hoping to tell Ah Shan that the lives of the people of Daqi still needed to be improved, they needed the technology and high-yield food of future generations, and they needed the existence of the sky curtain to tell them more useful information.
For example, epidemics, famines, and keeping warm.
Ashan is a charity system. If it knew that the images and knowledge of later generations broadcasted on the skylight could allow the people to have enough food and clothing and live a better life, it would definitely consider the issue of opening and closing the skylight.
However!!
They haven't done anything yet, haven't even had time to connect with Ashan, and they're just... dormant?
Next time, we will have to wait for several more days, but there is no definite number as to how many days it will take.
Emperor Jingxuan felt like he was going crazy.
The altar was very quiet, and the ministers could not help but look at the emperor again and again. Although His Majesty did not say anything, they all knew that Emperor Jingxuan must be in a very bad mood at the moment.
After a long while, the Grand Tutor finally stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. The people have been waiting for a long time. Otherwise, we should just go away."
Emperor Jingxuan closed his eyes, and the veins on his forehead began to throb.
He continued to look at the sky with some hopelessness, but unfortunately, Chao Chao did not bring him any good news.
Finally, Emperor Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, give the people grain and porridge, and let them go back after they finish eating. Wait for next time..."
He originally wanted to ask them to come back next time, but then he thought that it was still unknown when Ah Shan would start again, so even if they wanted to prepare in advance, it would be impossible.
Emperor Jingxuan waved his hand and said, "Leave this to the Minister of Agriculture and the Ministry of Revenue. The rest of you can follow me back to the palace to discuss government affairs."
"yes."
The Minister of Agriculture and the officials from the Ministry of Revenue led by Zhang Yulin had already had the food cooked.
Emperor Jingxuan did not think of cooking porridge for the people at first. Who knew that the people the officials had found looked too pitiful. He thought that the capital city would be different from other places. Who could have thought that there were still so many skinny people who could not even get enough to eat?
Emperor Jingxuan couldn't just sit back and watch the people who were so timid that they fell down at the slightest gust of wind.
Especially when he thought about the ordinary people in later generations, even the old beggars who had been wandering outside for many years could eat fried rice with eggs when they walked into the police station, and their faces would look rosy after washing them. He felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Therefore, Emperor Jingxuan asked people to prepare food and cook a bowl of porridge for the people who came today.
He didn't know whether Ashan's problem could be solved, but as an emperor, he could still let these people have a good meal.
The people present couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Most of them were from poor families, and some had difficulty getting enough food. There were also many beggars and children from orphanages. They all lined up with their bowls in their hands and listened to the words of the officers and soldiers with some expectation.
Originally, when the emperor asked them to come to the altar, everyone was trembling with fear. Some people turned around and ran away when they saw the soldiers, while others were worried that they would lose their lives if they came here.
But now, looking at the hot and thick porridge in front of them, they felt that "the current emperor is indeed a good man".
An old man couldn't help but ask Zhang Yulin, "Sir, can we come again next time?"
"If there is a chance, of course."
The old man was very happy and said, "I will come again when Ah Shan starts the machine next time."
Zhang Yulin didn't reply. Who knew what the few days Ah Shan was talking about was? He just told the old man, "Hold it steady and drink slowly."
"Okay."
The old man walked away with the bowl in his hand. When he passed by Lin Lan and the others, he gave them a strange look.
These people don't look like people who can't afford to eat porridge, nor do they look like officials who come to do work. Why are they here? They don't even queue up to get porridge, which is weird.
Lin Lan and the others looked at each other. Of course, they were also called by Emperor Jingxuan.
Emperor Jingxuan felt that in addition to being familiar with Chao Chao, Ashan's system had also come into contact with Lin Lan and others.
If he can't persuade Ah Shan, then maybe letting Lin Lan and the others play the emotional card will be effective.
Therefore, Lin Lan and the others were very close to the altar. They were very nervous from the moment they arrived here.
Who could have imagined that the final result would be like this?
Several people couldn't help but sigh, "What should we do next?"
"Back to the post station?"
"We were supposed to leave for Huaiping County tomorrow, but now, is it impossible for us to leave?"
Lin Lan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we need to wait a few more days."
Sure enough, while they were still discussing, officials from the Ministry of Rites came over.
"Sorry for the long wait. Let's go. I'll take you back to the post station." The official said to them, "The emperor has ordered you to stay in the capital for a while longer."
"Yes, I obey your order."
Lin Lan and his group got on the carriage and slowly moved towards the post station.
There were quite a lot of people, so the carriage moved very slowly.
Grandma Zhou lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the line of people waiting outside to get porridge. She couldn't help but sigh, "If we were in Shangliu Village before, we might have been one of them."
Weren’t their previous lives just like these people?
Thanks to Chao Chao.
"I heard that after Ashan starts filming, this sky curtain will most likely be closed. Will we never see Chao Chao again?"
Talking about this, everyone felt sad and lost.
At this moment, Chao Chao has calmed down under the comfort of his parents.
Slowly, I recalled what Ah Shan said before he fell into hibernation.
She didn't quite understand. "Mom, Ah Shan said it left behind a bunch of dogs. What are a bunch of dogs?"
Jian Yunsang was stunned. She pondered for a long time before she understood what Chao Chao was talking about. She smiled and explained, "It means a malfunction. Ah Shan said it left a big bug?"
"Well, it says that everyone in Daqi can see me, Mom, what does that mean?"
