Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

The capital of the Great Yue Kingdom was in an uproar.

The palace distributed all its stored grain to the people.

At the same time, the Emperor of Dayue issued orders to officials in all four directions of the Dayue Kingdom:

"To help people pack up their belongings, we're moving the whole country!"

The imperial edict was spread by fast horse.

One by one, carrier pigeons flew out.

During the famine, there will surely be people who sincerely help the people and open the granaries ahead of time.

But the Emperor of Dayue understood that there would also be a large number of people who would hoard grain and amass troops, harboring treacherous intentions!

However, as long as the Great Yue Kingdom has not been completely destroyed, no official would dare to disobey the orders of the Great Yue Emperor!

The people built stoves and lit fires to cook soup and stew, their thirst for food reaching its peak.

In some houses, people with flushed faces guiltily carried out small, overcooked bodies.

The Emperor of Dayue swayed, closed his eyes and sighed, ordering that these mutilated bodies be properly buried.

His breathing trembled, and he felt deeply guilty.

During his reign, a devastating famine led to cannibalism, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the ambitious Emperor of the Great Yue.

But the Emperor of Dayue knew that he could not fall down or lose heart at this moment.

They couldn't even show the slightest weakness or confusion.

Too many hopeful eyes are looking at me.

Too many citizens of the Great Yue Kingdom who have lost everything are waiting for them!

Li Yuan stood quietly in the city, without saying a word.

The giant form created by the immortal power was enormous, shrouded in clouds and mist; it inspired awe in the people, but also gave them a glimmer of hope and motivation.

The gods and immortals were with them.

For this reason alone, Li Yuan had to endure the enormous consumption of immortal power to maintain the giant form.

God is behind you, Emperor is in front of you.

A fire was ignited in the hearts of the people.

It is the flame of hope for a new life after enduring immense suffering.

The people drank hot porridge and swallowed meat soup in large gulps, silent yet noisy.

The sounds of slurping and sucking filled the air.

The Emperor of Dayue quickly drank a bowl of hot porridge, vowing to eat and drink with his people.

He personally toured among the people, and would personally take care of those who were seriously ill and weak.

The officials moved among the people, taking care of those in need.

At this moment, the Great Yue Kingdom had no hierarchy, no distinction between officials and commoners.

Amidst the calm, officials who had previously acted arrogantly and domineeringly were spat on by the people.

But the official gritted his teeth, did not fly into a rage, and instead bowed deeply to the people.

His expression was sincere.

Regardless of what the official was thinking, he chose to bow and apologize at that moment.

At this critical juncture, we must not cause any disturbances.

The people can't bear it anymore, and neither can the Great Yue Kingdom!

The people went from disdain to silence; finally, they simply lowered their heads and drank the porridge in large gulps.

Li Yuan took everything in and understood everything.

All the people are of one mind, and the government and the people are one.

"The Emperor of Great Yue is a truly gifted ruler..."

Li Yuan felt a surge of emotion.

Emperor Dayue's sincere act of self-reproach successfully calmed the people's minds and set a precedent for officials.

They saved the Great Yue Kingdom from collapse in an instant.

Zhang Tiansheng was standing next to Li Yuan at some point:

"The palace's food supply is only enough to feed these people for a few days. We must set off in about two days."

"We are still some distance from the next place where there is a mountain god."

"We have to ask those evil gods for food to sustain the people's needs."

Li Yuan nodded: "I think the Emperor of Dayue will not delay."

“He hates those evil gods even more than we do, and he wants to leave this manipulated land even more.”

Zhengtai Biao had already left with Li Xiaoan.

The direction the people of the Great Yue Kingdom were heading was towards the Thousand Mountains Ridge.

It is going to inform the spirits and beasts of Qianshan Ridge to get ready, for the opportunity to earn merit has arrived!

Everything is being arranged as systematically as possible.

Li Yuan prayed in his heart that the Tianyun Mountain God would cultivate a little longer and notice the situation here later.

Once the people had eaten something, the Emperor of Dayue immediately left the crowd and issued orders to the people in the palace.

He needed to coordinate all matters and make thorough preparations before setting off.

But soon, a noisy sound came from behind.

Some princes were unwilling to leave the Great Yue Kingdom.

The Emperor of Dayue frowned, but when he looked at the people, he sighed deeply.

Not everyone is willing to leave their hometown.

Even if they know that the evil god has wicked intentions, they still take a chance.

He was the emperor of the Great Yue, and he had to prepare for his departure while also preserving the hope of survival for those who wanted to stay.

"Relay my order!"

The Great Moon Emperor swayed almost imperceptibly.

"Dayue Kingdom, the second prince succeeds to the throne!"

"From this day forward, he will be the new emperor of the Great Yue Kingdom!"

The officials were greatly alarmed, but under the stern gaze of the Emperor of Dayue, they chose to cooperate.

In special times, special measures are needed, and there's no need to be so formal or complicated.

The Great Yue court once again issued an imperial edict that spread throughout the land:

[The Great Moon Emperor wishes to lead his people away from the land controlled by the evil god. Those who wish to escape the evil god's clutches should gather at a certain place and on a certain road, awaiting the Emperor's forces!]

[At the same time, on the day the Great Yue Emperor left the Great Yue Kingdom, he passed the throne to the Second Prince. Those who choose to remain must obey the new emperor's decree!]

That's roughly the gist of the message.

Two more days passed after the people had recovered somewhat.

During this period, the Emperor of Dayue ordered his soldiers to build carts overnight so that they could carry the infected people away.

Skilled craftsmen from all walks of life in the Great Yue Kingdom enthusiastically participated, working tirelessly alongside the 200,000 soldiers of the Great Yue Kingdom to produce thousands of large carts in just two days!

The cart is spacious and can seat dozens of people.

The Emperor of Dayue has taken into account the old, weak, sick, and disabled people of the entire country.

However, each cart required several warhorses to pull it, and there weren't enough warhorses.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan subtly informed the Emperor of the Great Moon about the technique of connecting the carriages of the Earth's train.

The Emperor of Dayue's eyes lit up slightly, and he informed his ministers of the matter, instructing them to explain this skill to the artisans in the army.

Soon, after much deliberation, a simplified version of the warhorse-powered 'train' from another world was created.

Of course, it wasn't as comfortable as a train on Earth; it was just a thick wooden plank underneath and wooden railings around it.

The sick and injured people huddled together in the cart, seeking warmth in each other's company.

The carts were connected by thick ropes, with three planks forming a single unit. They could travel straight or turn slightly, and were pulled by several warhorses from the army.

If it were any heavier, the warhorse would struggle and wouldn't be able to pull it.

This method saved a lot of warhorses.

Furthermore, the three-panel cart is connected to the three-panel vehicle behind it by two thick wooden beams.

As the warhorses exerted their strength, they not only pushed the carts in front but also pulled the vehicles behind them.

We maximized the efficiency of the warhorses.

However, some craftsmen said that walking like this is possible, but how to get started?

The warhorses at the very front couldn't pull so many carts behind them!

If the chariot doesn't move, the warhorses behind it are confined to the wooden beams, so how can they exert force?

When asked by the artisans of the Great Yue Kingdom, Li Yuan calmly replied that starting from 100 kilometers only requires a breath of immortal energy.

In fact, if the people hadn't slaughtered all their cattle during the famine, using oxen to pull carts would have been a better choice.

However, the people had no choice.

People are starving to the point of cannibalism, so how could livestock possibly survive?

About 70% of the residents chose to leave, while the remaining 30% were people who did not want to leave their hometown.

The Emperor of Dayue did not force him.

From now on, the Great Yue Kingdom will be governed by his two more benevolent sons. As long as the evil gods do not cause trouble, they will be able to survive.

However, he was still worried that those evil gods would not give up their wicked intentions.

Once the carts were ready, the Emperor of Dayue gave an order, mobilizing the army and the people, and leading a million subjects, they left the capital and headed towards Anshan.

This mobilization was truly remarkable; the ranks were long and stretched for hundreds of miles.
