These women really listened to the two old ladies.

Quickly move aside.

Shangguan Ziqi directed everyone to go ashore in order.

There are about four hundred of them together.

About the same number as these women.

Emperor Qiming went ashore and came before the two old women.

"What are your names, old men?" Emperor Qiming was very interested in the island and prepared to ask them some questions.

"Are you really the emperor?" One of the old ladies wanted to confirm it again.

"Old man, I just said that I am now the Supreme Emperor. My son is now the Emperor."

"Then can you be the master of your son?"

"Old man, you are asking this question. Since I have passed the throne to him, I naturally cannot interfere too much in government affairs. However, if he does something wrong, I can certainly teach him a lesson."

Emperor Qiming was a little surprised as to why the old woman asked this question.

Moreover, the two old ladies did not show any fear when they heard him say that he was the emperor.

The two old ladies were a little disappointed after hearing what Emperor Qiming said, but they still led everyone to continue walking up the hillside.

"Your Majesty, we two old ladies are the ones in charge of this island. Her name is Cui Ermei, and mine is Ye Chan. Everyone calls us Cui Po Po and Ye Po Po." The old lady named Ye Chan introduced.

Emperor Qiming walked and chatted with the two old men.

Yu Yuanzheng led the three children and walked behind them.

There were two maids, Lixiang and Taoxiang, who had been newly hired in the past two years. The four original Chinese medicine maids had already married and had children.

But her six guards always followed her.

Became her dedicated staff.

Chunlei and the other six were currently helping to move some of their master's clothes from the boat.

We have to take another trip on the big ship to finish the move. The first trip only brings people ashore, and the luggage has to go on another trip.

"Grandma Ye, what is the name of this island?" the old prince suddenly asked.

They followed him all the way, and when they crossed the hillside they had seen when they first came ashore, they saw endless fertile fields.

It was golden at this time.

It is the time when rice is ripe.

"This island was named Haiyue Island by our ancestors." Grandma Ye mentioned the name with a faint smile on her face.

According to our ancestors, this name was given by a well-educated scholar.

"Your rice is growing really well." Emperor Qiming praised the rice highly when he saw such a large field of rice ready to be harvested.

He had also been to the fields to see the rice mature, but none of them looked as good as this one, and the rice ears were heavy.

"The fields here are fertile, and we can yield five stones per mu." Grandma Ye was very happy to hear Emperor Qiming praise their good crops.

Emperor Qiming and the old prince were both surprised when they heard this.

Such high output?

The best yield per acre of fertile farmland in the Wei Dynasty was four dan, and that was for relatively fertile fields; many fields could not even reach that level.

If the Wei Dynasty could be so productive, how many people could it feed?

Emperor Qiming felt warm in his heart.

Could it be a seed problem?

We have to ask for some of their grain to plant back.

Yu Yuanzheng had never grown rice before, so she didn't understand.

But she followed them silently and listened to their conversation.

The women just now all dispersed and went back to their homes.

Grandma Ye and Grandma Cui led about 400 people to where they lived.

But there were too many people and it was impossible to accommodate them all.

Shangguan Ziqi asked the sailors to set up camp on the spot.

They took all their camping supplies ashore.

Grandma Ye and Grandma Cui discussed it and asked the villagers to vacate two houses for the emperor and the old prince to live in.

Along the way, through chatting, I also learned the identity of the old prince's family.

The two old ladies also asked each family to bring some food to make lunch for them.

The soldiers cooked their own meals, as there was enough food on the ship.

All we need is some firewood from the island's villagers.

Yu Yuanzheng invited the two old ladies to have dinner with them.

Many things are still not understood clearly.

It was very strange that they had not seen a single man on the island since they landed.

Are there only women on this island?

How can this be?

The two old men readily agreed.

Cook with pear and peach aroma.

While waiting for the meal, Yu Yuanzheng asked the two mothers-in-law to sit down and made tea for them.

Grandma Ye and Grandma Cui looked at the tea in front of them, not knowing what it was.

But he didn't ask anything, just picked it up and took a sip.

But as soon as they drank it, they both frowned.

Then he put down the teacup and stopped drinking.

"What's wrong? Is it not to your taste?" Yu Yuanzheng asked puzzledly.

"Princess Rong, we have never tasted this before. It tastes a bit bitter." Grandma Ye told the truth.

After hearing what she said, Emperor Qiming and the old prince both knew what was going on.

The villagers on this island probably never left the island. There is no tea on the island, so they have never drunk it.

Yu Yuanzheng also figured it out.

Moreover, from the time they arrived on the island until now, through chatting, the two mothers-in-law have already known their identities, but they have not shown any respect.

This shows that they have no idea what a monarch means.

And the two of them just said that they are the masters of this island, which means that they are the local tyrants here.

Looking at their clothes, they were all made of linen, and they were quite rough.

"Two elders, please tell me about the situation on Haiyue Island." Emperor Qiming asked directly what he wanted to know.

But both mothers-in-law were a little hesitant.

I do not know how to describe.

"What? Can't I tell you?" Emperor Qiming became serious, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Long Wei, who had been high and mighty for many years, made the two old ladies feel invisible pressure in an instant.

"Your Majesty, we don't know what to say." Grandma Ye looked embarrassed.

Yu Yuanzheng also noticed the awkwardness of the two old people.

"My two mothers-in-law, how about this: I ask questions and you answer them?" Yu Yuanzheng took the initiative to ease their tension.

"Princess Rong, please tell me." Mother-in-law Cui said immediately, her body relaxing a little.

She was really frightened by the emperor's aura just now.

"We just came all the way here, and we didn't see any men on the island. We only saw women. What's going on?" Yu Yuanzheng directly asked the question that puzzled him the most.

When the two mothers-in-law heard this, they looked at each other in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the princess discovered the biggest problem on their island as soon as she arrived.

Then the two old ladies began to wipe away their tears.

They all stood up and knelt before Emperor Qiming.

"Grand Emperor, you were once the emperor. You must have a way. Please save our Haiyue Island."

The two old men kowtowed while crying and shedding tears.

Several people were puzzled by their sudden change of mood.

"Two elders, please stand up and speak. If you have any questions, please tell me so that I can know if I can help you."

But the two old men refused to get up and kept kowtowing.

"Your Majesty, you must save us. This island is cursed. There are more than 800 of us on the island, but less than 100 men.

There are even fewer boys born now, with only one boy in a dozen babies.

I guess in a few decades, there might not even be a single man left.

There may be no one left on our entire Haiyue Island."

Granny Ye was the first to raise her head, crying very sadly.

"what?"

After hearing this, Emperor Qiming stood up in shock.

How could this happen?
