The Astonishment of the Old Ministers

"What we just did was the simplest way to prepare these foods. I wonder if you've learned it?"

"Have you written down how these foods are prepared?"

Upon hearing Ye Xuan's question, all the civil and military officials were taken aback and immediately lowered their heads, their eyes drooping.

Everyone felt a little guilty, afraid that the Human Emperor would ask them a question, which would be very awkward.

Seeing that no one spoke, Ye Xuan was taken aback.

"I'm asking you a question: have you learned it or not?"

The entire court was taken aback.

"I've learned it."

Seeing the cautious expressions of the entire court, Ye Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

For a dignified Human Emperor to lead his court officials in cooking over a fire on this mountaintop is truly quite improper.

If these old guys can't learn it, wouldn't all his hard work have been for nothing?

"Now that you've learned how to eat, come and try it out."

Looking at the dozen or so large pots of food before them, the ministers exchanged bewildered glances. Could this really be eaten? Were they sure they wouldn't be poisoned?

At this moment, everyone hesitated.

The elderly Shang Rong, however, strode forward and scooped out a boiled corn.

He then took a bite with his few remaining old teeth.

It only took him a moment to be surprised. This plant called corn was indeed extremely sweet after being cooked. Its refreshing taste left a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth, which he found truly captivating.

At that moment, he felt incredibly happy.

He had never tasted anything so refreshing and delicious in his entire life; it was a flavor he had never experienced before, one that was simply irresistible.

In particular, besides its subtle fragrance, it also had a unique sweetness that brought him genuine joy.

He then turned his head to look at the hesitant civil and military officials around him, and a look of disdain appeared in his eyes. What a bunch of cowards.

His Majesty personally led them in making these things; would His Majesty possibly harm them?

While wolfing down their food, they came to another large pot, which contained a magical thing called sweet potato.

His Majesty said this can be boiled, steamed, or even roasted.

I imagine it must be an extremely delicious thing too?

He stood in front of the large pot, ignoring the heat, and scooped one out.

He endured the heat as he stuffed it into his mouth.

After taking just one bite, he discovered that this sweet potato was incredibly soft and mushy when cooked, melting in his mouth.

Especially its soft, sweet, and savory flavor is truly incredible.

He had lived his whole life and had never tasted anything so fragrant and soft.

His Majesty's actions today have truly broadened his horizons, and he can't help but admire them.

What exactly was inside the Human Emperor's head?

He watched the Human Emperor grow up.

He naturally knew that His Human Emperor possessed boundless strength.

The Human Emperor's divine power can support beams and pillars, and pull nine oxen backwards.

But His Human Emperor the Emperor has never liked those ancient books, and he himself is not very learned.

Now he is so knowledgeable and learned, it seems there is nothing in the world that Human Emperor Majesty the Emperor does not know. It is truly bizarre!

While muttering to herself, Shang Rong wolfed down her food. It would be a huge loss not to eat more of such good food.

For a moment, they were busy with their hands and feet.

The civil and military officials not far away watched as Father of Shang wolfed down his food.

They couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.

Are these things really that delicious?

In the end, they decided to give it a try.

After all, His Human Emperor had no reason to harm them.

After finding their favorite food and taking a bite, the group of old men were immediately stunned.

They had never tasted such delicious food in their entire lives; it was an unprecedented taste experience that naturally amazed them.

At this point, these elderly men no longer cared about their image.

They ate what they were holding one by one, their eyes gleaming with greed as they eyed what was in the pot.

At such crucial moments, the advantages of those burly, muscular generals become apparent.

Dozens of military officers, swaying their hips from side to side, pushed the group of elderly civil officials behind them, and ate the delicious food in the pot one bite at a time, marveling at it.

These old men were naturally cursing inwardly, but they could only try to grab whatever benefits they could find.

Ye Xuan also picked up a steamed bun, took a small bite, and felt a sense of familiarity mixed with strangeness at the slightly bland yet sweet taste.

It was a taste he had longed for for a long time, and now he could finally taste it again.

I took another bite, and my eyes welled up with tears.

Even now, looking back, it's still somewhat hard for him to accept.

I inexplicably transmigrated to this Primordial World.

I wonder if I'll ever be able to travel back in time again.

Or could one live on into that future era?

Everything was unknown to him.

However, being able to eat a steamed bun in this era is better than nothing.

After a long time, the ministers finally devoured all the food from the dozen or so large pots, leaving the scene in complete disarray.

The civil and military officials patted their round bellies, looking as if they hadn't had enough.

Most of these things were eaten by those burly military generals.

In this situation, the civil officials are clearly at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, they generally have smaller appetites, so they were quite satisfied with their meal.

At that moment, Wang Bi Gan suddenly prostrated himself on the ground and wept bitterly.

"Brother, with such an emperor, the Yin Shang Dynasty is truly poised for a rise!"

"The current Human Emperor's Words Followed by Law; he subdued the Dragon Clan, provided disaster relief, and annihilated bandits. In a single day, he conquered Jizhou. Every single one of these deeds is a great achievement, one that will be remembered for generations to come!"

As he spoke, he suddenly started crying, his elder brother.

Bi Gan was Di Xin's uncle and had a very good relationship with Di Xin's father, Di Yi.

Since the reign of the former king, the Yin Shang had already begun its gradual decline.

Bi Gan witnessed all of this and was naturally heartbroken.

Now, the Yin Shang is gradually consolidating under Di Xin's rule, and there are even signs of its great prosperity.

The fact that he had cultivated so much grain naturally overwhelmed him with emotion, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

The cries of Bi Gan the Heavenly Dao, deeply moved the other ministers as well.

Wang Bi Gan was absolutely right.

All the things the current Human Emperor has done are public affairs.

Perhaps the Yin Shang dynasty was truly about to rise to power.

Perhaps it can even recreate the glory of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the leaders of the Human Clan in ancient times.

One by one, following in the footsteps of Uncle Wang Bi Gan, they knelt before Ye Xuan, kowtowing repeatedly.

Looking at the group kneeling before him, Ye Xuan saw a growing sense of satisfaction on the old man's face.

As the saying goes, soldiers fight with their lives, and wise men use their minds; how can the world be in turmoil?

"None of you should go back tonight; just spend the night in these mountains."

"I have some good things to show you tomorrow."
