Chapter 219 (1/2)
When he said it, the hall begun to buzz with discussions It was al the entire Eternal Peace Empire to happen, yet it did!
Eternal Peace E ninety thousand hty thousand miles from north to south Now that the entire territory was under snow and even for six-seven continuous days, it was so that should have been impossible!
Divine arts practitioners had the ability to summon wind and rain, but they could only make the rain descend and the wind blow in a small area They could never control the kind of spell that could cover the entire Eternal Peace Empire
However, this was no natural disaster It rarely snowed in the south of Gold River, while it was even more iing River On top of that, when it came to Li River, all four seasons were like summer, so there was no possibility of snow there
If that wasn't enough, the snow had descended on the whole empire at the same time!
Eh and quieted all the riculture, there are probably quite a number of ministers who don't understand how scary this snow is, you can explain it to them”
An old riculture of Eternal Peace Iriculture of the entire empire He bowed and said, ”Your Majesty, ministers, this snow disaster doesn't affect the next years harvest for the villages to the north since they are used to enduring through winter and had made preparations The crucial point is the south After this huge snow, the villages of the south will probably be frozen clean When the next year comes, the south would most likely have no harvest at all”
The Minister of Revenue iriculture, by the south you mean?”
”Everything south of Gold River”
All of the ministers took in a cold breath, and even Qin Mu was shocked
He also had a geographic inated in the Great Ruins and stretched all the way to the east for tens of thousands ofthe ocean
The land south of Gold River o-thirds of Eternal Peace Empire's land!
This meant that two-thirds of the empire's land would have no harvest!
”This… Your Majesty, I think we should channel the rations and fodder fro to send relief!” Grand Servant stepped out of the ranks and bowed ”The south just went through a war, so there are many counties that still need require relief I'm afraid that the rations there have already been depleted, so may Your Majesty channel rations from the north to save those people from the disaster!”
Minister of Agriculture sighed ”As of noe can't channel anything Lords ht not know but the war had depleted rations and one everywhere If we channel the rations to the south now, they will only be eaten by the starving people Once these rations are finished, on't even have the grains to plant any to eat when autu people have nothing to eat, they will start eating humans”
”Are we supposed to just let the people of the south starve?”
Minister of Agriculture said, ”Provisions would have to be transported to the south, but we ive theranaries in the south, but they all belong to influential families and landlords If ant to touch their provisions, I'ate the disaster victims to rebel Your Majesty…”
E's expression sunk, and he said, ”I will think of so the provisions of the influential families and landlords Continue”
”Yes Other than the south, there's another huge disaster looriculture ”The north is usually cold during winter, but it's even colder this year Walking through a few counties in the north, I discovered far down trees to burn the cleared out, turning the area bare For the north, which can endure the cold to resort to chopping trees for warine the current situation in the south If the trees in the south are completely cleared out, mountain torrents, landslides, and floods will definitely become endless
”A natural disaster can result in a manmade disaster, and a manmade disaster can result in many more natural disasters However, if we don't let the victims chop down trees for warmth, I'm afraid that countless people will be frozen to death When that time comes, I'm afraid most of the families will die…”
E let out a deep breath, and the ministers of the imperial court also beca beca If they didn't chop down the trees to burn, the farmers would be frozen to death Yet if they chopped down the trees, there would be more disasters
A snow disaster had e empire like Eternal Peace Empire sink into circumstances in which they had to make a difficult choice
Minister of Agriculture continued, ”The crucial point is that we don't kno long this cloud will last If the glooe to the lowest But if it doesn't, the eer!”
”I… understand” E powerless ”Now, erous the situation is, right? Lately, soades rebelled, but I was still unworried and didn't pay any attention to it I knew nothing would co, and they would be eradicated by Imperial Preceptor and my dearto break our Eternal Peace's fate! Dear ministers, do you have a way to solve this?”
All of the civil and military ministers fell silent Even with their remarkable abilities, they couldn't bloay the cloud or melt the snow
Ery and anxious in his heart Snow, a single cloud, were they going to tear this empire apart, destroy their hundred years of effort?
A civil official said, ”I think this is because Iered the Heaven…”
