Chu Fan returned to his bedroom and sat up late at night. He looked at the bright moon in the sky and said in frustration, "Is Mu Yunfeng sick? He has so many opportunities to rebel, but he doesn't do it?"
Chu Fan's brow furrowed, an indescribable irritation welling up within him. He stood up and walked to the window, opening it and letting the cool night breeze brush across his face. The moonlight poured down on him like water, but it couldn't calm the turmoil within him.
"Doesn't he have any interest in the throne at all?" Chu Fan muttered to himself, his voice echoing in the silent bedroom.
Chu Fan gave up thinking about it after this. Even if Mu Yunfeng did not rebel, he would have plenty of opportunities to get others to rebel in the future.
In the following days, Mu Yunfeng was fighting outside to recover lost territories, and Chu Fan rarely went to court.
There was no point in going to court anyway, so Prime Minister Qin Hui kept submitting memorials, strongly suggesting that Chu Fan take measures to restrict Mu Yunfeng's power and actions to prevent Mu Yunfeng from launching a rebellion one day and threatening the country's security and stability.
Chu Fan was furiously complaining in his heart that he also hoped Mu Yunfeng would rebel. But Chu Fan thought of Mu Yunfeng's loyal eyes and firm words. Chu Fan just wanted to say: You said Mu Yunfeng would rebel, but it would be better for you, Qin Hui, to rebel yourself.
Time passed quietly, and before Chu Fan knew it, more than two months had passed since he came to this world. During this time, he also signed in twice in the system.
However, the results of these two sign-ins were not satisfactory, and could even be said to be somewhat disappointing. The first time he signed in, he received 10,000 kilograms of sweet potato seeds, while the second time he signed in, he received 10,000 kilograms of corn seeds.
While these foods might be useful in some circumstances, compared to the powerful and magical rewards he expected, these ordinary crops clearly could not meet his needs.
Despite this, Chu Fan was not discouraged. He knew that in this world full of unknowns, every sign-in could bring unexpected surprises. Perhaps next time, he would get a truly useful reward.
In this world, there is no internet, no mobile phones, and almost no entertainment. People's lives seem extremely monotonous, lacking the convenience and fun brought by modern technology. Without these, Chu Fan's life in this world is extremely boring.
As a descendant of the Chinese people, the gene of farming seems to have been deeply engraved in Chu Fan's bones. No matter where he is, no matter what the environment is, that love for the land and the desire to farm are always with Chu Fan.
After Chu Fan obtained the seeds of the two crops, he thought about planting them. Seeing that the sweet potatoes and corn in the system space were not planted in the land, Chu Fan always felt guilty.
Chu Fan had long been fed up with the people in the court, who had to deal with countless matters and decisions every day. After Chu Fan made up his mind to farm, he took the eunuchs and maids from the palace and began to carefully cultivate these sweet potato and corn seeds in the royal fields, hoping that they would thrive under his care.
Chu Fan gathered some simple tools and began tilling the soil, preparing for planting. Despite lacking modern agricultural equipment, Chu Fan remained undaunted. He worked alongside the eunuchs and palace maids, digging the soil and cultivating it, watering it with their sweat. Each day was exhausting, yet deeply fulfilling.
In the days that followed, Chu Fan would get up early every day not to attend court, but to take care of the young plants. Watching them grow day by day, Chu Fan's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
Although life seemed a bit dull without the internet and mobile phones, Chu Fan found a different kind of enjoyment in this simple and pure farming life. It was also an early experience of what it would be like to be a farmer back on Blue Star.
As time went by, the sweet potatoes and corn seedlings in Chu Fan's royal official fields gradually grew into lush green plants. Chu Fan looked at these seedlings with anticipation in his heart.
Mu Yunfeng, while on a campaign, was surprised to hear that Chu Fan was personally working in the fields. He had assumed that Chu Fan, as a high and mighty emperor, wouldn't care about the common people. He hadn't expected this young emperor to be so down-to-earth, personally participating in farm work. Mu Yunfeng's respect for Chu Fan grew even stronger.
(Blind date dividing line)
Since Chu Fan decided not to participate in government affairs, the operation of Wei State has become smoother and more efficient.
In Chu Fan's absence, Qin Hui and the other court officials found it nearly impossible to successfully overthrow Mu Yunfeng in court. Chu Fan's presence provided Mu Yunfeng with a kind of protection, making it difficult for Qin Hui and the others to attack him.
Without Chu Fan issuing any orders, if Qin Hui decided to deprive Mu Yunfeng of his military power, Mu Yunfeng would not rebel against Chu Fan. On the contrary, Mu Yunfeng would be more loyal to the royal family and His Majesty, after all, His Majesty had always protected Mu Yunfeng.
If Qin Hui really took any measures to restrict Mu Yunfeng, Mu Yunfeng was fully capable of dealing with it easily, and might even fight back against Qin Hui to ensure that his status and power were not violated.
In addition, Mu Yunfeng had been leading the army to fight against the Xiongnu, and the people of Wei admired him very much. His Majesty even gave Mu Yunfeng the command of the army outside the imperial capital.
Therefore, without Chu Fan's support, Qin Hui had no way of taking action against Mu Yunfeng. Now that His Majesty was no longer personally handling state affairs, the Prime Minister's power was already quite great. There was no need for him to fight Mu Yunfeng anymore; it would be better for them to live in peace from now on.
In the following months, Chu Fan received some daily necessities by signing in, such as fertilizer and postpartum care products for sows.
However, something happened in the court today that Chu Fan had to deal with.
Chu Fan sat back on the throne he had not sat on for several months. Several months of hard work not only made him healthier, but also made his skin more rosy and shiny.
Seeing Mu Yunfeng standing in the court, Chu Fan knew that something big was bound to happen today.
After Chu Fan sat down, Qin Hui took the lead in reporting to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, this year the nine provinces of Hedong suffered severe flooding, affecting over a million people. Your Majesty, please make a decision on how to provide disaster relief and rescue the victims."
Chu Fan posed a serious question to the Minister of Revenue: "Minister Qian, how much money is left in the national treasury to provide relief to the people affected by the disaster?"
Minister Qian replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, in recent years the Xiongnu have continuously harassed our borders, plunging the nation into a prolonged state of war. This has put the treasury under extreme financial strain. Furthermore, recent natural disasters have resulted in a significant drop in grain production, further exacerbating the treasury's financial situation. The treasury is now on the verge of depletion."
After hearing what Qin Hui and the others said, Chu Fan finally understood their true purpose for inviting him to the court meeting. It turned out they coveted the money and grain stored in his inner treasury. However, his inner treasury didn't have much wealth, and when he returned to the real world, he wanted to exchange this gold and silver for money to live a comfortable life in modern society. He couldn't afford much money and grain.
