"No need for formalities!" The emperor seemed to be pleased and smiled, which made Bai Xin happy.

"I really can't always go out to inspect the people's sentiments, and I know about the people's sufferings through memorials, which makes me feel uneasy. Now I can see this performance, which really makes me feel personally to see the people suffering from the epidemic and disasters. I feel deeply sad. Lishan College is thoughtful!"

Ye Qi, who was sitting not far away, was surprised that His Majesty did not refute the girl's suggestion of sending troops, and she even choreographed a dance for them to go in for the rescue. How could he let it go?

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I am ignorant and I shouldn't have made you worry!" Bai Xin said with a guilty tone.

"Well, if there are such programs in the future, I will have to watch more to understand the people's sentiments!" said the emperor with lingering feelings.

"Your Majesty, if you don't mind, I have painted a few pictures in the disaster area to record the scene at that time. If Your Majesty doesn't mind, I can present them to Your Majesty."

"Oh, you can also draw and record? Then of course I want to see it!" The emperor became more interested.

"Yes!" After saying that, Bai Xin took out some drawing paper from her bag and presented it to Eunuch Su.

She does have the habit of recording. In the past, she had cameras and video cameras that could record the scenes at the time, but now she can only rely on paintbrushes.

"Did you paint all this?" Even though the emperor was a high-ranking official and had experienced countless things, he had never seen this kind of painting.

The people on the paper seem lifelike, and their painful expressions are vividly shown on the paper. The realistic painting method makes people shudder. Bai Xin also colored the paintings, making people feel as if they are there, experiencing the pain of the epidemic and the ruthlessness of the disaster.

"There are actually marked dates!" the emperor muttered. The other ministers all looked nervous, and His Majesty seemed to see that his face was not very good.

"Come here, circulate it to everyone present!" The emperor put the picture down and ordered majestically.

Eunuch Su and the other two eunuchs each bent over and picked up a piece of drawing paper, and sang the title of each painting as they displayed it.

"An Epidemic in Pingyang", "The Suffering of Insect Epidemics", "Strategies for Epidemic Prevention", "The Broken Walls of Chencun", "The Sorrow of Fire"

Everyone who watched it frowned and was deeply shocked. The timid ladies were even more frightened by the scenes and burst into tears.

Bai Xin smiled slightly, saying that people are living in misery, but how many of the nobles here have actually seen people living in misery? People are said to die wrapped in their horse's hide, but who among the high-ranking officials has actually seen a death wrapped in his horse's hide?

If you want these people to empathize with a disaster, you have to let them see it with their own eyes. Otherwise, if they live too comfortably, they may even impeach the people who are doing the work.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and now everything is in the past!" The queen comforted the emperor when she saw his unhappy expression.

"Well, fortunately it's over. Ye Qi, Zhao Wenshu, you have shared my worries! Come, reward them each with a hundred taels of gold. Ye Qi will be rewarded with a pair of golden unicorns, and Zhao Wenshu will be rewarded with a pair of jade ruyi. The Ye family army and the Imperial Hospital will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!" The emperor said, looking at them both with satisfaction.

After hearing this, the two men left their seats and knelt down to thank the emperor for his grace!

Ye Qi pressed his heartbeat, and he became more certain that this girl did all this today just to seek justice for him.

Bai Xin lowered her head slightly and did not look in Ye Qi's direction, but she keenly felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her. However, since they were in front of the hall, it was not easy to patrol, so she could only suppress her curiosity for the time being.

"I am also going to give rewards to Lishan College. In addition to silver rewards, I want to think about what other rewards to give!" The emperor said to Bai Xin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. My paintings have worried Your Majesty, so I dare not ask for any more rewards. But I see that Miss Qingshi and Liuli are dressed like this, so I guess they haven't finished their performance yet. I wonder, Your Majesty, if you are interested in reading more?" Bai Xin said.

"More? I thought they were going to move on and that was the end! I almost missed it. Come on, Qingshi, let's start!" the emperor said happily.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Qing Shifu stepped back and passed by Bai Xin. The two smiled and exchanged glances.

Soon, white smoke rose from behind the curtain and floated toward the stage, like a fairyland on earth. The six shengs held their instruments and stepped on the smoke to the stage, like musicians from heaven, performing "Song of the Fairies".

While everyone was immersed in the beautiful music, seven fairies dressed in white gauze long skirts and with flying fairy buns, who looked like fairies descending from heaven, danced gracefully with light figures, like swimming dragons and dancing like fairies.

After the dance, Qing Shi, who was in the lead, held a basket covered with gauze and walked gracefully to the front of the hall, surrounded by Liu Li. She bowed and held up the basket, looking at the emperor with a charming smile.

"Your Majesty, this is the final chapter of the performance, the Seven Fairies present auspiciousness!" Bai Xin bowed slightly with a smile and introduced to the emperor.

"Oh, so this program is divided into chapters!" The emperor was delighted: "What are the first two chapters?"

"Chapter One: Merciless Disaster; Chapter Two: Enormous Grace; Chapter Three is the Final Chapter: The Seven Fairies Bring Good Luck!"

"It means that the disaster has been eliminated and blessings are coming!"

Bai Xin used her eloquent tongue to make the emperor very happy. There was nothing she could do, she had watched too many Spring Festival Galas, so this kind of show was nothing to her.

"Okay, okay!" The emperor's originally majestic brows were filled with a deep smile.

"What's in the basket?" The emperor was very curious about this auspicious object.

Bai Xin lifted the veil to reveal something inside. Everyone thought it was some rare treasure and stared at it curiously.

Bai Xin took the thing out and held it in his hand. Now everyone became even more curious. It was clearly not a rare treasure, but a red root of an unknown plant with lush new vines growing on it.

"What is this?" The emperor was also very curious. It was the first time that someone presented a lucky charm not with rare treasures, but a plant.

"Your Majesty, this is sweet potato!" Bai Xin explained with a smile.

"Sweet potatoes? What's their use?" the emperor asked curiously.

Everyone was shocked and said they had never seen such a thing. Only Ye Qi looked calm. This girl had so many strange things, and this was the most normal thing.

"Your Majesty, these sweet potatoes are not rare. They are food that Master accidentally obtained while traveling."

"This sweet potato is sweet and sticky. The root and vine can be eaten. It can be boiled, roasted, or eaten raw!"

When Bai Xin said this, everyone was stunned. Bai Xin curled his lips slightly and continued.

"It also has a strong sense of fullness, and most importantly!" Bai Xin paused: "It is cold-resistant, drought-resistant, easy to survive, and can produce 50 dan per mu!"

"Five, fifty loads?" Xu Nong, the Minister of Agriculture, stood up excitedly, but then felt that he had lost his manners in front of the palace, so he knelt down quickly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"Stand up!" The emperor did not blame anyone because he himself was also surprised.

"Yes!" Bai Xin replied, "We have already done experiments at Lishan College this year. If managed well, we can produce 60 dan. If it is in an extremely cold place, the yield may be lower, but it is easy to survive. As long as it is managed properly, there will be a harvest anyway!"

"I know that Your Majesty loves the people like your own children, and has always been worried about the starving people everywhere caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters. Master, I have obtained this item and specially come to present it to Your Majesty, hoping that it can help Your Majesty share some of the burden."

This thing can be promoted faster by the government than by themselves. In an era of material scarcity, having enough food is the most important thing.
