“It’s hard and difficult to chew, but after you chew it, it tastes pretty good, a little bit sweet…”
Chang Sun Dongcai frowned and expressed his feelings while tasting the food.
"What is this? How do I eat it?"
The Xiao family suddenly took out food that no one had ever seen before. It must be a gift from the God King.
There is no doubt that the food given by the God King must be good stuff.
"This is corn seed given by the God King. It's suitable for planting in the northwest region. August is a good time to plant corn."
When Xiao Yunzhan said these words, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement and excitement.
"Corn is easy to grow and matures in just over three months. The harvest is very good. Tender corn can be cooked and eaten directly, while older corn can be ground into cornmeal to make corn pancakes or corn porridge, which is very filling..."
When he saw Lin Yiran take out a whole granary of corn last night, he was so shocked that he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Brahma City has always been particularly short of food, and the harvest has always been poor, so the tax paid is 10% less than other cities.
Even if the taxes were reduced by 10%, the people's lives were not much better, and they often had periods of hunger.
If there is a slight natural disaster, many people will starve to death.
After listening to Lin Yiran's introduction to corn planting and yield, he wished he could plow two miles of land overnight and plant the corn seeds.
As Chang Sun Dongcai and Prefect Tian listened to Xiao Yunzhan's words, their eyes widened and their hands began to tremble with excitement.
"Is that true, Brahma—no, no, no, the people of Shuitian City will be saved."
Magistrate Tian clenched the corn in his hand, his face flushed with excitement. "How much land can these corn seeds plant?"
Looking at the bag of corn seeds on the table, Governor Tian's fiery heart cooled down a little.
Even if we plant all the corn seeds in this bag, I'm afraid it won't be enough for everyone in the city to eat. Can one corn seed produce 20 kilograms of corn?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
However, if the God King takes action, he will definitely not be stingy.
Chang Sundong glanced at Xiao Yunzhan, and seeing the corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes flickered slightly and he grinned.
"I think the God King will definitely not only take this bag of corn seeds. The God King has always been kind to the people and will definitely not let them go hungry..."
"For the people of Shuitian City to receive the protection of the God King is simply something they have prayed for for eight lifetimes."
"The Divine King holds an extremely high position in the hearts of the people. If Emperor Wu of Liang were to come to Shuitian City right now, the people would be able to torture him to death..."
Xiao Yunzhan looked at Changsun Dongcai with a smile,
"Mr. Changsun is as wise as a god. The God King will not ignore the people. She is kind-hearted and is the god of the people."
When Xiao Yunzhan said this, his eyes drifted towards Lin Yiran vaguely.
Influenced by Zhu Changshou recently, he always unconsciously wanted to praise Lin Yiran.
Only Lin Yiran knew about his secret compliments. It was a little secret between them.
He couldn't help but feel happy at the thought that they could communicate with each other.
"The people support and respect the God King, and the God King will naturally favor the people. This is mutual." Old Lady Xiao echoed.
She was reminding them that the prerequisite for gaining the favor of the King of Gods was to have enough respect and love for him.
As for those heartless people who smashed their bowls and cursed after eating, she would just kill them with a knife to avoid wasting food.
"Of course. I guess the old lady hasn't gone out yet this morning to check. The people in the streets and alleys of Shuitian City are all talking about the God King appearing."
With a smile on his face, Magistrate Tian said what the people were saying, "The God King has come to save the people! Thank you, God King, and may God King live forever..."
This was the first time he saw the people so united.
I remember that during the drought last month, when court officials came to collect taxes in advance, the people cursed Emperor Wu of Liang's eight generations of ancestors behind his back.
Of course he had heard of it, even when walking on the street.
However, he was also angry about Emperor Wu of Liang confiscating the Xiao family's property, so he ignored the people's insults to the royal family.
The royal family was indeed declining with each generation, and it came to an end with Emperor Wu of Liang.
Chang Sun Dongcai nodded repeatedly, still thinking about the corn seeds.
"Since the God King has already given us corn seeds, why not plant them now while the soil is moist, and reassure the people..."
Chang Sun Dongcai only said half of what he wanted to say and swallowed the second half.
He actually wanted to ask, it takes a long time for corn seeds to mature after being planted, so what do people eat during this period?
The people have all been hungry these days.
If it weren't for the rain yesterday that provided water for the people to drink, they would have to walk with the help of the wall now.
But thinking that the God King had just given him seeds, if he asked for food again, it would seem a little greedy.
I think the God King will definitely make arrangements, he just needs to obey the orders of King Yongchang.
