Chapter 883: Chapter 883: Worthless Favor
Ye Jiu: "..."
Suishang: "What’s the matter, sister, why aren’t you speaking?"
Suishang: "Are you out of food? That’s no big deal, I can always switch to another welfare."
Ye Jiu: "No, everything’s fine. How did you suddenly ascend the throne?"
Suishang: "To tell the truth, I really have to thank you for this, sister."
"If it hadn’t been for your report back then, my sect would not have been defeated, and I wouldn’t have joined the army out of desperation."
"And thanks to your strong and constant support of food over the years, I’ve made rapid progress, earning prestige in the military, and was successfully selected as the new leader."
"Now, the world is stabilizing, the old dynasty has been overthrown, so naturally, it was my turn to take the position."
Ye Jiu: "..."
The report she filed out of anger that year unexpectedly paved the way for someone to become an Emperor!
What a pity, she, having achieved someone else’s success, is still a mere Commandery Princess with her marriage controlled by others, unable to decide for herself!
Ye Jiu truly realized what it means to compare yourself to others and get angry.
After quite some time, Ye Jiu finally sent out a message, "Congratulations, congratulations."
Suishang: "No need for thanks, I really owe it all to you, sister."
Ye Jiu thought to herself, enough with the thanks, comparing our situations, I only feel frustrated.
Ye Jiu: "Food isn’t the issue, but you must be a good emperor for the country and the people. After all, being an emperor isn’t like running a Demon Sect. I’ll send you a few good books to read some other day."
Ye Jiu was already planning to give Suishang copies of the "Qimin Yaoshu" and "State Governance Strategies" she acquired from Luo Ranran.
Of course, she was doing this not for Suishang, but for the people of Suishang’s world.
Otherwise, if a great demon from a sect became Emperor, Ye Jiu was really afraid he might ruin the world.
Ye Jiu said this, and Suishang thought she was looking out for him, so he gratefully said, "Sister, saying too much gratitude is pointless, let me just say one thing, from now on you are my real sister!"
Ye Jiu was instantly comforted, for those words alone, it was worth any loss.
Ye Jiu: "Don’t consume all the grain I gave you. These are high-yield crops; a yield of seven to eight hundred pounds per acre is nothing. Plant them in the ground to benefit the people and boost your own prestige at the same time."
Suishang sent several large chests back in return, and Ye Jiu accepted them with peace of mind.
Since he became Emperor, this amount of wealth must mean nothing to him.
What’s more, if Suishang really encountered difficulties, just for his warm-heartedness today, Ye Jiu would have to give her utmost support.
Ye Jiu suddenly felt weary of her current life, even Suishang knew to be thankful after receiving her benefits, but what about the old Emperor?
In recent years, she had developed several high-yield grain varieties, at least ensuring that as long as someone in Dongyue had land and was willing to work, they could no longer face starvation.
There was also the visible income from her industries, half of which went into the national treasury, and the bank managed by Ye Wenzheng contributed several percentages of earnings and profits to the treasury.
Although she received many favors, when it came to critical moments, those favors were useless.
Stop dwelling on these thoughts, Ye Jiu could indeed be happier.
In recent years, she had not only had these few planes, but also expanded three more.
