Chapter 180: Moving into the New Imperial Palace, Welcoming Guests from All Over the World!
After getting familiar with the functions of the ‘Hand of Weather’, Lin Beifan began to adjust the weather in Great Xia.
Where there was a lack of water, he made it rain.
Where it was too hot, he sent a breeze and arranged some clouds in the sky to block the sunlight.
Where it was too cold, well, he simply raised the temperature there.
In short, he made everything clear and well-arranged.
Seeing the entire Great Xia enjoying favorable weather, Lin Beifan was very satisfied: “If the grain yield doesn’t increase by 50% this year, I’ll write my name backward!”
……
After sorting all this out, two days had passed.
Lin Beifan was in a very good mood, so he went to visit Liu Wanqing to see if she needed anything.
Entering her courtyard, he greeted the approaching Liu Wanqing with a smile: “Miss Liu, I’ve been busy with state affairs these past two days and only now have I found the time to come and see you. You wouldn’t hold this against me, would you?”
“Your Majesty, why would you say such a thing? You are the revered emperor, with the weight of the world on your shoulders. It’s already a blessing for me that you could come to see a humble girl like me, I couldn’t be happier!” Liu Wanqing replied very politely.
“How is your mother doing?” Lin Beifan asked.
At this, Liu Wanqing’s face lit up with a heartfelt smile, and she said with tears of gratitude: “Using the Nine-Eyed White Jade Lotus Pod that Your Majesty provided, along with other herbs, I brewed a medicinal soup for my mother. After taking it, her health has greatly improved! I am deeply grateful for Your Majesty’s grace, it’s something I will remember in my heart forever!”
“I’m relieved to hear that!” Lin Beifan said with a nod and a smile.
“Your Majesty, please come inside and have a seat!”
Lin Beifan followed her into the house and saw an elderly woman in a wheelchair.
Now, the old woman looked completely different.
Although she was still in a wheelchair, the foul smell was gone.
The pus-filled sores had mostly disappeared, new skin had grown, the toxins in her body had been cleared, she spoke with energy, and her overall condition was like that of a person in their sixties or seventies.
However, having been tormented by illness for so long, her body was still very weak, so she couldn’t stand up yet.
But compared to before, she was much better.
Lin Beifan smiled and nodded: “You’re recovering well! I have a feeling that in less than two years, you will be able to return to your former self!”
The old woman burst into laughter: “How could it be that easy? But if I could live for another decade or so, I would be satisfied! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, which I will never forget in my lifetime!”
“There’s no need for thanks; it was just a simple effort on my part, and we are merely helping each other out!”
“Your simple effort is a life-saving grace for us!”
Lin Beifan sat down and said to the mother and daughter, “Tell me what else you need, and I will do my utmost to satisfy your requests!”
The two women looked at each other, and Liu Wanqing said, “Your Majesty, there is something we didn’t want to trouble you with, but we must speak up!”
“Speak freely!” Lin Beifan listened attentively.
“Your Majesty, the thing is, my mother and I will be serving you and living in the capital city for a long time! However, we have planted many medicinal herbs back in our hometown. We cannot concoct the divine medicine without those herbs! So, we must transplant them here!”
Lin Beifan replied, “That’s easy to handle. I will send people to help you transplant them.”
“Actually, there’s another important issue. The medicinal herbs we grow have very strict environmental requirements, so we must find a suitable habitat for them. Otherwise, even if they are transplanted, they won’t survive!”
“What kind of environment do they need? Tell me about it.”
Liu Wanqing began to describe, and after listening, Lin Beifan couldn’t help but frown.
The requirements were indeed demanding.
The herbs they grew were from all over the world, rare and precious, including snow lotuses from the Tianshan Mountains, seaweed from the depths of the ocean, and hardwood near volcanic craters…
Therefore, the planting environment needed to be cold and hot, dry and wet, with specific soil conditions. It was truly strict requirements.
According to them, it took decades to find a place that met the basic requirements.
Then, it took another hundred years for their family to modify it to their satisfaction.
“Alright, I will send people to look for it right away and notify you once we find it!” Lin Beifan readily agreed.
“Your Majesty, if you can’t find it, it’s not a problem. We can just travel back and forth between the two places; it will just take a bit more time!” Liu Wanqing said.
Lin Beifan glanced at the old woman and said, “No need, just wait for the good news from me!”
After returning, Lin Beifan immediately launched the Empire Sandbox to search for a ‘plantation’ that met their requirements.
After searching around, he found none that were suitable.
But Lin Beifan was not worried at all: “If we can’t find one, I will create one!”
Lin Beifan chose a valley near the capital city and began to transform it using the Hand of God.
Whatever soil was needed, he brought it over.
Whatever moisture was needed, he also brought it over.
Even the roads were straightened, and the land was plowed by Lin Beifan himself to facilitate the transplantation.
Next, he used the Hand of Weather to modify the climate of the area.
This was even simpler; in no time at all, he transformed the valley into a magical place that was both cold and hot, dry and wet.
“Mission accomplished!”
……
Two days later, Lin Beifan went to find Liu Wanqing and her daughter again.
“Miss Liu, I have found the place you mentioned. Come and see if it’s suitable?”
“You found it? So quickly?” Liu Wanqing was stunned.
When she had first mentioned these conditions, she had no hope at all.
And yet, the Emperor had found it in just two days?
Lin Beifan gestured grandly: “Let’s go! I will take you to have a look!”
After two hours, they arrived at the valley transformed by Lin Beifan.
Along the way, they were continuously amazed because the environment they described was all here, everything one could ask for.
It’s as if the scenery of all four seasons has been condensed into this place.
Moreover, there is no rejection between them; they exist in harmony and blend seamlessly, which is truly magical.
Liu Wanqing and her Mother were extremely excited.
“This place is simply the ideal location for cultivating medicinal herbs!”
“It’s so perfect that it’s unbelievable!”
“As long as you’re satisfied!”
Lin Beifan said with a smile. “Additionally, I’ve arranged for some people to build a few houses here to accommodate your living needs!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!” the mother and daughter said in unison.
Then, Lin Beifan ordered further modifications to the valley.
Half of the people came to this valley, while the other half went to the adjacent valley.
“Your Majesty, what are they doing…?”
Lin Beifan smiled and said, “The environment in that valley is similar to this one, so I plan to plant some vegetables and fruits there! This way, I can enjoy watermelon and lychee in winter and apples and strawberries in summer. I’ll have a variety of fresh fruits to eat all year round, haha!”
How could such a treasured land be used just to grow vegetables and fruits?
It seemed like such a waste, the mother and daughter felt quite distressed hearing this!
But then again, having the ability to eat fresh fruits and vegetables all year round is a wonderful thing!
“By the way, my Great Xia will hold a grand ceremony to inaugurate the Dynasty in half a month! It’s a very important and significant day, so you must come to participate!”
“Your Majesty’s invitation is an honor we cannot refuse!” the mother and daughter said in unison.
……
Good news kept coming.
One day, Heshen came to report to Lin Beifan that the new imperial palace, which had been under construction for two years, was finally completed.
Lin Beifan was overjoyed: “Excellent! Minister He, you have done well in this matter, and I am very pleased! Only such an imperial palace is worthy of the Dynasty’s status, worthy of my status!”
“What Your Majesty says is very true!”
Heshen smiled broadly: “I knew the importance of this imperial palace to the Dynasty, so I ordered the workers to work overtime, day and night, to finish it before the ceremony as a gift to Your Majesty!”
“Minister Heshen, for your meritorious service in building the imperial palace, you are rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness!”
Lin Beifan then turned and said, “Now that the imperial palace is completed, we will choose a date to move in! Eunuch Liu, you will be in charge of this task. Before the grand ceremony, we will all move into the new imperial palace! We will welcome guests from all over in the new imperial palace!”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Eunuch Liu beamed with joy.
With everyone’s efforts, it took less than a week for Lin Beifan and the others to move into the new imperial palace.
This new imperial palace was built according to the standards of the Empire.
Firstly, it covered a vast area, so vast that an ordinary person couldn’t walk through it in a day.
Secondly, it was grand and majestic, like a small city with high walls and numerous palaces, exuding a royal grandeur.
Thirdly, it had a multitude of rooms capable of accommodating thirty thousand people at once.
Compared to the previous imperial palace, this one was like a small courtyard.
Entering the new imperial palace, Lin Beifan truly felt like an Emperor.
“My beloved consort, this will be our new home from now on!”
Lin Beifan said, embracing the Consort’s waist with a spirited expression: “The world is under my command, and this place is under your care!”
“Your Majesty, this imperial palace is so large, I have limited abilities, I’m afraid…” the Consort said nervously.
“Don’t be afraid, I believe you can do it!” Lin Beifan laughed.
Although his consort was of common birth and had no significant family background, she was an intelligent person and had a strong learning ability. She managed the affairs of the imperial palace impeccably, increasingly embodying the demeanor of the mother of the nation.
So for her, Lin Beifan was filled with confidence.
“My beloved consort, tonight let us stay here…”
“Your Majesty!” The consort shyly lowered her head, causing Lin Beifan’s heart to flutter.
That night was another sleepless night for them.
