Su Lin stood on the throne platform, looking down on the officials from above, his body surrounded by stifling golden qi.
Su Lin looked at the people who were still conscious and had not fainted and said in a cold voice.
"This is your last chance."
"In a month from now, I want all kinds of resources to be distributed to the citizens in need, starting from food and livelihoods to resources for cultivating immortality."
"I want to find at least over 2 million people who have reached the Body Refining Realm, in addition to over fifty thousand people in the Qi Refining Realm."
"I don't care what method you use or how much it costs, you have one month to carry out what I have asked."
"Of course, that's without using a single piece of copper from the kingdom's treasury."
"If you can't even do this…"
Su Lin didn't finish his sentence, after giving them one last casual glance, he shook his hand and left under their trembling, terrified gazes.
…
The Royal Capital.
For the people of the Shu Kingdom, this city was a strange place, they dreamed of living in it, but at the same time they were afraid of it.
As for why they wanted the royal capital despite being so afraid of it, there were a few reasons for these conflicting feelings.
But the most important reason was because the Holy Dunxin Academy was only in this city.
For this Holy Academy, it was the only chance for an ordinary person to change their current life.
The Dunxin Academy was the only academy in the entire Shu Kingdom that would allow anyone who was able to join it to learn farming methods and obtain various agricultural resources.
No matter what your background was, of course all of these benefits were under the assumption that you were able to join the Dunxin Academy.
The only condition for joining the Dunxin Academy was that your personal talent was high, this was the only thing that had not changed since the time of the First Emperor.
But in this era, even if your talent was very high, you would not be able to join the Dunxin Academy unless you agreed to join one of the great families in the Shu Dynasty.
If you're lucky you'll end up as one of the guards in charge of guarding some place, and if you're not lucky, well, let's just say you won't live the rest of your life as a human.
As for if you don't want to join, and don't agree to come under the wing of one of the great families.
In this case, no matter how great your talent is, you won't be able to join the academy at all.
Even in other cases, you might lose your life as well, just because you didn't give these people face.
The corruption in the Shu Dynasty had already reached the bone.
As for why this kingdom was still alive despite all this injustice.
Su Lin also felt confused by this unbelievable situation.
Meanwhile, a few streets away from the Dunxin Academy, he was walking around and looking around at all these new things with a look of extreme curiosity on his handsome face.
Su Lin curiously approached one of the food carts that contained strange but very delicious looking fruits.
Su Lin saw a fruit that looked like a mix of pineapple and apple and swallowed his saliva, the next second he reached out his right hand to take one of these fruits.
But before he could touch the fruit, a hand quickly reached out and swatted Su Lin's hand away. Su Lin raised his head away from the fruit in astonishment and saw the big face that was looking at him with a frown.
"Ahem!", Su Lin coughed in embarrassment, and quickly searched all over his clothes under the vendor's suspicious gaze for money, but he didn't even find any dirt.
"…"
…
"Tsk, miser, it's just a fruit، Don't you know that I am the emperor? I'll order you to be executed…" Su Lin muttered under his breath sadly after he walked away from the fruit vendor's cart.
Su Lin regretted that he had shown off like that before, and when he decided to go out to explore the city, he didn't find anyone in the royal palace to take some money from.
Su Lin moved along the way and looked at the food items that he had never seen before with longing, but the thought of his empty pocket made him turn his head away sadly.
After Su Lin left the throne room in a grand manner, he found himself wandering around the empty royal palace boredly and aimlessly.
At this time, the royal palace had almost nothing left, some palaces were completely burned down and you couldn't imagine what they looked like before.
Su Lin, who had nothing to do in this desolate palace except look at the shiny walls and palaces decorated with jewels, decided to go out and explore the capital.
Of course, because the palace was empty of all creatures, no one knew that the emperor had gone out alone.
At this moment, Su Lin was walking around without hiding his face, not because he was confident in his strength.
But because no one even knew who the emperor was at the moment, the proof was in the fruit seller who didn't give Su Lin a single piece.
Even after Su Lin tried to tell him that he was the emperor, the salesman not only didn't believe him, but the salesman even indifferently told him that he was her father, the former emperor.
At this moment, while Su Lin was aimlessly wandering the streets because he had no money, he noticed that people started pointing their fingers at him and whispering among themselves.
Seeing their actions, Su Lin covered his face with both hands in embarrassment and quickly walked away from this place, while thinking to himself.
No way, has the news really spread that he is already bankrupt? That lowly salesman! Didn't he just curse his wife in a moment of anger?.
Do you need to be so cruel, exposing him everywhere?
Su Lin took off at top speed and In an instant, he disappeared from his previous place
