Chapter 384: It’s Nice to Be the Emperor

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Bai did not know if any of these people would suspect the emperor of the Kamikaze Empire.

After all, he knew that Li Heng had been killed by the emperor of the Kamikaze Empire for personal gain.

However, he did not know what their relationship was in the eyes of these people.

“Beloved ministers, regarding the matter of Sect Master Li, i will take it to heart. 1 hope that every one of you will take it to heart as well. Send people and do your best to find traces of Sect Master Li’s disappearance as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Everyone bowed.

Chu Bai nodded.

At this moment, Prime Minister Li walked out.

“Your Majesty!”

Prime Minister Li bowed.

“Please speak, Prime Minister.”

Chu Bai knew that this person was Prime Minister Li, so he was not afraid of making a mistake.

“Your Majesty, Sect Master Li’s matter is not small, but today is Your Majesty’s birthday, so please don’t overwork yourself.”

Chu Bai nodded.

Then, Prime Minister Li cupped his hands and said, “Your Majesty, there’s still one more thing that Your Majesty still needs to decide.”

“Speak.”

“In the southern part of the city, famine has broken out in the direction of the Four Heavenly Cities. About two million people are currently in dire straits. Although there are a large number of adventurers from the otherworld there, they’re unable to provide help. A large number of adventurers from the otherworld have already left that place. The people are suffering. I’m afraid that a large number of refugees will flood into the north.”

Then, another old man stood out and said, “Your Majesty, a plague has erupted in Tianya City. At present, thousands of people have died. The plague is likely to continue to spread. This is not an ordinary matter. Your Majesty, please make a decision quickly.”

Chu Bai was speechless.

Why were there so many big events in the Kamikaze Empire?

However, these places should be in relatively remote directions.

Chu Bai did not know how to do this.

“Yes, do you have any special thoughts on these two matters?”

Chu Bai said.

He did not know if this happened long ago or just happened.

Theoretically, whether it was the plague or the famine, since it had caused such a huge impact, the emperor of the Kamikaze Empire should have known about it before. They might have even reported it more than once. It was just that the emperor of the Kamikaze Empire might not have done anything.

He was indeed not a good emperor.

“Your Majesty, regarding the famine, 1 feel that the best way now is to gather food and transport a large amount of it to the south to solve the urgent problem first. The famine there is due to a long period of drought. There’s actually a way to solve the drought.”

Prime Minister Li said.

“Prime Minister Li.”

State Preceptor Zhang walked over and said, “The Kamikaze Empire has been plagued by many disasters in recent years. The food problem is a bit tense. Although the entire empire doesn’t lack food, we have just enough. If it’s two million people, they’ll take up a lot of resources over an extended period of time. If it’s not handled properly, the entire Kamikaze Empire will fall into famine.”

“Is the empire in such a shortage of food?”

Chu Bai asked.

Logically speaking, it should not be that bad, right?

How many people were there in an empire? Countless!

They must have stored food.

Could doing this alone cause famine in the entire empire?

If two million people were given a few months’ worth of food, the entire empire would not go hungry, right?

“Your Majesty! These few years, our empire’s food supply is indeed very little, and there are even some signs that we can’t make ends meet. We’ve already begun to use the stored food.”

State Preceptor Zhang said.

“But we can’t just watch two million people starve to death, right? Even if they don’t starve to death, what unimaginable consequences will the two million people bring to the various cities? Moreover, if we don’t care, or if we don’t care enough, how will they evaluate His Majesty?”

Prime Minister Li said.

He was not a good person, but at least he knew that the people were the foundation of the country. Moreover, he had already said this before. At that time, the famine was not that serious and did not attract too much attention. At that time, State Preceptor Zhang objected to doing anything and said that they could wait and see before sending some food over.

The two of them were sworn enemies. Of course, Prime Minister Li was unhappy!

Now, the famine had already reached such a stage, yet State Preceptor Zhang was still opposing it. He did not understand.

Prime Minister Li was not a good person, but he did not know much about the emperor of the Kamikaze Empire, the Heavenly Dragon Army, and Tan Tianxing. It was mainly the emperor of the Kamikaze Empire and State Preceptor Zhang who were secretly doing this.

“Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty, Prime Minister Li is right, but we have to put the overall situation first.” State Preceptor Zhang walked out and cupped his hands.”

Then, he walked to Chu Bai’s ear and whispered, “Your Majesty, I’m mainly worried that if we start fighting with the Heavenly Dragon Army, it might not happen overnight. Our army needs a large number of rations, and I’m mainly thinking about this.”

Prime Minister Li was displeased.

“What can’t State Preceptor Zhang say in front of everyone?”

“It’s a very important matter,” said State Preceptor Zhang as he stroked his beard. “It’s best that Prime Minister Li doesn’t know about it for now.”

Prime Minister Li was even more displeased.

He was the prime minister!

Although the state preceptor was also a powerful person, he felt that he had a little secret with the emperor.

This made him very unhappy.

“State Preceptor, I naturally understand these things, but…” Chu Bai said to State Preceptor Zhang. “The rations can be transferred again, and whether we fight or not is up to us. Don’t forget, Tan Xingxing’s life and death will be in my hands.”

“This…”

Of course, State Preceptor Zhang understood, but he did not want Prime Minister Li to win.

“But if 1 don’t do anything about this, I’m afraid 1 won’t be able to sit as emperor for long.”

Chu Bai said.

“I understand.”

State Preceptor Zhang then left.

“Prime Minister Li, quickly send someone to reinforce the south with rations.”

Chu Bai said.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Prime Minister Li hurriedly bowed.

“How do we resolve the plague?”

Chu Bai asked.

He felt that even though the emperor of the Kamikaze Empire was not a good emperor, he was someone who wanted to sit on the throne for a long time. Therefore, he might not be very good to the people, but he would definitely do a good job in things like famine and plague as his actions could be seen by all.

Moreover, since Chu Bai was now the emperor, he definitely hoped to be able to help those commoners.

What if he triggered a mission?

“Your Majesty, we don’t know what exactly happened with the plague this time. At present, the area has been sealed off to prevent the spread of the plague.” “Have any doctors gone to investigate?” Chu Bai asked.”

“Yes, but I’m afraid they don’t have the ability. We need to send a doctor of a high grade to deal with the plague.”

“Then send the imperial physician over.”

Chu Bai said.

“State Preceptor Zhang, you will arrange this matter!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”
