Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

Tong Xiangyu felt that her worldview had been shattered.

In her mind, rice is a very delicate crop, very particular about the soil; it won't thrive if it's flooded or drought-prone.

The key issue is that the output is not very high.

Therefore, due to the lack of water in the north, rice is grown in relatively small quantities.

After all, there were no machines in ancient times, and irrigation could only be done by manpower when water was scarce.

As for waterwheels—those things only turn when there is water; in the event of a severe drought, waterwheels are completely useless.

But everything she saw before her overturned her belief.

The rice yield is too high.

If rice yields remain stable at this level, then manual irrigation is feasible.

People won't be afraid of hardship as long as their efforts are rewarded!

"This rice must yield over a thousand catties, right?" Tong Xiangyu grabbed a handful of rice, her eyes filled with fascination.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "More than two thousand catties. If the Sweet Rain Spell were cast, the rice yield could double. But now, everyone has enough food, and the people would rather fight with strange beasts."

They wouldn't even fight, let alone return to the fields to cast the Rain of Life spell.

"What a waste!"

Tong Xiangyu's eyes widened in disbelief. "They're unwilling to do even something as simple as casting a spell?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "We can't finish it all, we simply can't finish it all. A normal family of six, allocated 100 mu of land, would have over 200,000 jin of grain annually. How could we possibly eat that much?"

There are so many.

"More than 200,000 catties?" Lu Xiucai asked in surprise. "Aren't they subject to taxes?"

"Even with a 10% grain tax, there's still a little over 200,000 catties left. Even if we eat and drink like mad, we simply can't finish it all." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head. "Come, let me show you the grain reserves of the Ming Dynasty."

warehouse."

With great excitement, the crowd followed behind Zhu Yuanzhang.

A moment later, they arrived at a towering granary.

"This is this year's new grain. As for the grain from previous years, it has long been stored in our spatial storage. The Ming Dynasty's current grain reserves are enough to feed us for a thousand years, even if we stop farming."

"That's it." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a proud look, "From now on, there will be no more famine in the Ming Dynasty."

"It's the same in your world. Once the enemy is defeated, the people will have more food than they can eat."

Tong Xiangyu sighed with emotion, looked at Bai Zhantang, and said, "Old Bai, it seems we've done a good deed."

Everyone felt honored and extremely proud.

They made this decision together.

After visiting the granary, Zhu Yuanzhang rode on auspicious clouds and led everyone on a tour of the Ming Dynasty's territory.

When they returned, everyone still felt dizzy.

"Has our Great Ming Dynasty already conquered the entire world?"

"The world is actually spherical?"

"There's so much land overseas?"

Even Lü Xiucai, the most learned among them, felt his mind was not working properly at this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "We conquered the whole world many years ago. It's just that the people of Ming are reluctant to leave their homeland. Those continents are still only guarded by the army, and very few people are willing to leave."

In the past. As for why the earth is spherical, you can find out later by having Old Bai bring you some modern books!

"Is the idea that the sky is round and the earth is square wrong?" Lu Xiucai asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. We can only say that the Earth in our world is round. Other worlds are different. Worlds with flat Earth and round skies also exist."

"I see. It seems there are many mysteries in the myriad worlds."

The group arrived at the palace and were once again awestruck by its luxurious and grand scale.

Even Guo Furong, who came from a distinguished family, never actually visited the palace in any real sense; she only glanced at it from the outside.

At this moment, touring the palace, especially with the current emperor, the Great Emperor Taizu of Ming, as the guide, made everyone's hearts practically leap out of their chests.

It's impressive and prestigious.

"Are these people citizens of the Ming Dynasty from other worlds?"

As we strolled through the Imperial Garden, a gentle voice rang out, and a woman dressed in magnificent palace attire approached.

Zhu Yuanzhang introduced, "This is my wife, as you should know."

"So it's Her Majesty the Empress."

The people naturally held the virtuous empress in high regard and quickly bowed in respect.

"Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress!"

"Hurry up and get free of charge!"

"I've had the imperial chef prepare some delicious food so we can all get together."

With a wave of his hand, the maids began to serve the dishes.

Soon, one exquisite dish after another was placed on the table.

These dishes are extraordinary, crystal clear, and radiating golden light.

"It's a glowing vegetable!"

Everyone had eaten this dish before, so they knew how amazing it was. Upon seeing it, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, signaling everyone to take their seats.

"If you want to eat this kind of dish, you can send someone to the Culinary Academy to learn it when you get back. Although Liu Maoxing and the eldest daughter of the Nakiri family are no longer teaching there..."

The academy's teaching resources remain exceptional, sufficient to produce outstanding chefs.

"The Culinary Academy?"

Everyone was taken aback and looked at Bai Zhantang.

Bai Zhantang shrugged: "I've only been in the chat group for a short time, how could I possibly know so much?"

Looking towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang then began to explain, and in the process, he mentioned many secrets from the chat group, which left everyone mesmerized.

During the meal, everyone not only enjoyed delicious food but also heard many interesting stories, which they found incredibly fascinating.

As evening approached, everyone reluctantly left to return to their own world.

"Old Bai, hurry up and buy a statue of the Daoist Lord!" Tong Xiangyu urged as soon as they returned to the inn. "This is a true god! Even His Majesty 557 worships him, we should all worship him from now on!"

Pay homage.

"We'll worship too?" Li Dazui asked in surprise.

Tong Xiangyu scoffed, "If you don't want to take your leave, then when you encounter trouble, will you have the nerve to ask Lao Bai to ask Daojun for help?"

Mo Xiaobei said smugly, "That's right, that's right, this is my master. It's better if you don't bow to him, I'll bow to him alone."

Bai Zhantang was speechless: "When did Daojun become your master?"

"I've cultivated Daojun's techniques!" Mo Xiaobei said proudly. "When I meet Daojun again, I must become his disciple."

Guo Furong was speechless: "There are plenty of people who cultivate the Dao Lord's technique, who would know who you are!"

After some playful banter, the group finally managed to place a three-foot-tall statue of the Daoist master and offer incense.

Not long after, Lao Xing and Yan Xiaoliu arrived.

However, today, both Lao Xing and Yan Xiaoliu were only dressed in ordinary clothes, not in the black robes that constables usually wear, and they did not carry any weapons.

"What bad luck! We're probably going to be out of work!" Old Xing said, sitting down in his usual spot. "Old Bai, bring out the drinks and food."

"What's wrong?" Tong Xiangyu asked, feigning ignorance.

Yan Xiaoliu sighed: "Isn't it amazing? The Crown Prince Zhu Biao from the founding of the Ming Dynasty has returned with heavenly soldiers! Don't you believe it? Those people can fly and disappear into the earth; they're not liars!"

"We believe, we believe!"

Everyone nodded quickly.

Wasn't Zhu Biao brought here by them?

"You believe it?"

Old Xing's eyesight sharpened.

Everyone was shocked; had they been exposed?

Although they weren't afraid, they still felt somewhat guilty about the fact that they had caused Lao Xing to lose his job.

"I know, you must have seen those heavenly soldiers, right?"
