As for what they wanted, it was the seeds.
However, although more than half of them looked like they prayed sincerely, they did not produce any faith points.
Therefore, she placed six groups of Houdan chickens outside the palace gate, each containing one male and five females. She also placed a few batches of fruit tree seedlings and some flower seeds that weren’t available in the country.
When the Emperor—who hadn’t slept—received the news, he didn’t know whether to be happy or worried.
If he were to claim Mother God wasn’t answering their prayers, she did give them something—a rare species that didn’t exist in their country.
However, these were only luxury goods that the wealthy needed. Which ordinary citizens would raise these for their livelihood?
Especially the flower seeds, weren’t these things that only women enjoyed watching?
Thinking of this, he shivered. Could the Empress and other women not represent the imperial family and the Ming Dynasty?
Maybe only male offspring could do it; otherwise, how could it be so different from what was given to the Third Prince?
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look at this chicken. It’s gorgeous.” Eunuch Li pointed at the rooster and said.
The Emperor only took a glance and absent-mindedly replied, “Tomorrow morning, split one group of chickens among each of the members of the royal family. The rest will be sent to a manor to be raised and planted, and we will see what they are.”
“Yes.” Eunuch Li responded and immediately ordered his men to take the things away.
During the morning court the next day, the Emperor discussed with all the ministers. Finally, he decided to take the members of the royal family and hundreds of officials to pay respects to Mother God.
Therefore, the Emperor first sent the First Prince to repair the Mother God Temple, especially the statue. After the repair, it had restored its former glory, looking solemn and kind and, most importantly, very pleasing to the eye.
Mother God’s statue’s appearance alone had attracted many believers.
On the second day after the repairs were completed, the Emperor brought all the members of the royal family and hundreds of officials to the Mother God Temple to carry out his worship.
When Zhou Ying saw the Emperor at night, her eyes flashed with complicated feelings.
Because the evil aura on his body was quite strong, it was evident that he had taken many lives.
Moreover, there was a lot of black aura around his body. It could be seen that he would not have a good time in the future.
More importantly, the purple glow around him was less dense than the Third Prince’s.
The purple aura on the bodies of the few princes, who followed closely behind the Emperor, was faint, just like the Empress.
As for the rest of the imperial family, there was no need to mention them, as there were almost none.
This assured her that the next Emperor chosen by Heaven would be the Third Prince.
So, in order not to cause trouble for the Third Prince and for the country to recover quickly…
This time, she gave him high-yield wheat, high-yield cabbage, and radish seeds.
The main thing was that these seeds could be planted in the empty land in the north as soon as possible.
Moreover, these plants had already been planted, so there was no need to promote them further.
The next day, the Emperor and the officials looked at the piles of wheat seeds inside and outside the courtyards, and they got so excited.
They needed wheat seeds the most because their previous batches of seeds were destroyed by two years of drought and they could hardly grow again.
“Your Majesty, there is a letter here.” At this moment, a guard walked over with a piece of paper.
“Oh, bring it up.” The Emperor stood up in excitement.
Eunuch Li immediately ran over to take the letter. After confirming there were no problems, he handed it to the Emperor.
It was printed in traditional Chinese, and the content was about how to grow these winter wheat, cabbages, and radishes reasonably and scientifically.
After reading it, he passed it to the officials and laughed,” I’m sure with the new planting method of these seeds, our Ming Dynasty will be able to recover half of its vitality after the wheat harvest next year..”
