Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

She turned to look at Xiaonong and found that he had stood beside her without her knowing, and was frowning at Xuan Zhentian.

"Are you sure we can cure the emperor's illness?" Jiang Xue asked in a low voice.

The small farmer nodded, but then shook his head, seeming a little hesitant.

He whispered to Jiang Xue, "Although this disease is difficult, it is not incurable. However, the treatment process may be complicated and dangerous."

Jiang Xue had an idea in mind after hearing this.

She looked up at Xuan Zhentian and was about to speak, but found that she had become the focus of the entire court.

All the ministers' eyes were focused on her, and they were obviously surprised and puzzled by what she had just said.

"Huh?" Jiang Xue let out a light exclamation, then realized that she had lost her composure.

She shook her head quickly, trying to get the topic back on track: "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of disaster relief, I think we should select an experienced and decisive minister to go. As for your Majesty's health, I dare to ask, are you allowed to try to treat your Majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar again.

The ministers began to talk about it, some were surprised at Jiang Xue's courage, while others expressed doubts about her medical skills.

Xuan Zhentian looked at Jiang Xue with a complicated expression, as if he was weighing something.

Finally, Xuan Zhentian spoke slowly: "Miss Jiang Xue, how dare you say you can cure me? This concerns my life and the future of the country."

Jiang Xue nodded solemnly: "I understand. But I am confident that I can alleviate your majesty's condition, and it is possible to cure it. However, this requires your majesty's trust and cooperation."

After a moment of silence, Xuan Zhentian finally made a decision: "Okay! I will trust you this time. If you can cure my disease, I will reward you handsomely; if you can't, this is my fate!"

Jiang Xue was startled when she heard this, but then she became firm again.

Then, Jiang Xue changed the subject, her tone becoming more generous and resolute: "In addition, Your Majesty, I am well aware that the country is in a turbulent time, the people may be suffering, and the army also needs food and wages. Therefore, I am willing to donate three million taels of silver and one million kilograms of grain on behalf of the Jiang clan to do my best to help the country overcome the difficulties." As soon as these words came out, a slight exclamation was heard in the hall, and everyone was shocked by Jiang Xue's generosity.

Afterwards, Feng Qingyu also stepped forward and saluted with the same respectful attitude. His voice was steady and powerful: "Your Majesty, the Feng family has received the emperor's grace for generations. Today, when the country is in trouble, how can the Feng family sit idly by? The Feng family is willing to donate three million taels of silver and five hundred thousand kilograms of grain to overcome the difficulties with Your Majesty and the people of the world." Feng Qingyu's words not only expressed the Feng family's loyalty to the royal family, but also demonstrated his family's deep patriotism and sense of responsibility.

The emperor's eyes flashed with approval and satisfaction when he heard this. He nodded slightly and looked at Jiang Xue and Feng Qingyu deeply, as if examining their sincerity. "Are you really willing?" His voice was soft, but it was full of unquestionable majesty.

"Your Majesty, we, the Feng family, are willing." Jiang Xue and Feng Qingyu spoke almost at the same time. Their answers were firm and powerful, without any hesitation or retreat.

At this moment, the air in the hall seemed to freeze, and all eyes were focused on these two brave and selfless young people.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction and expectation. He looked around and encouraged his ministers: "The righteous deeds of Miss Jiang Xue and the Feng family are a blessing to our dynasty and the people. I know very well that the prosperity of our dynasty cannot be achieved by one person or one family. It requires the concerted efforts of the whole country. My dear ministers, are you willing to offer your heart to the country and the people?"

As soon as the words fell, Nangong Rong stood up first, and his words were loud and clear: "Your Majesty, the Nangong clan is willing to donate one million silver coins and 100,000 catties of grain to show our clan's loyalty and support to Your Majesty and the country."

As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed as if a chatterbox was opened, and responses began to ring out one after another in the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Li family is willing to donate 800,000 taels of silver and 50,000 catties of grain, and is willing to do our part for the prosperity of the country."

"Your Majesty, although the Zhao family is not wealthy, we are willing to donate 500,000 taels of silver and 30,000 catties of grain to show our appreciation."

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Murong's residence is willing to donate one million silver coins and promise to mobilize the family's trade routes to assist the court in transporting supplies to tide over the difficulties together."

……

Dozens of ministers expressed their opinions, some were passionate, some were sincere, but all expressed their loyalty and support for the country and the emperor. Although the amount of donations varied, the willingness to help the country was the same.

The emperor listened to the ministers' responses and showed a satisfied smile on his face. He stood up and waved his hands gently, and the hall suddenly became quiet: "I am very pleased. With you ministers who understand the great principles so well, why should our dynasty not prosper? On behalf of the people of the world, I thank you for your generosity. Let us work together to create a more glorious future for our dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, I, Jiang Xue, represent the once glorious Chen family and donate one million taels of silver and five hundred thousand catties of grain to show my admiration and support for the Chen family's loyalty." Jiang Xue bowed again, revealing her deep respect for the Chen family. Her eyes were firm and gentle, as if she could see through the dust of time and see the glory and contributions of the Chen family.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Murong couldn't help but show surprise on his face. He knew very well that the Chen family had been gradually declining in recent years due to various reasons and no longer had the glory of the past.

Therefore, he was very surprised by Jiang Xue's move and couldn't help asking, "Miss Jiang Xue, although the Chen family was once glorious, it is now a defeated family. Why do you still want to donate such a huge sum of money to it?"

Jiang Xue smiled slightly, and that smile showed her deep understanding of the Chen family and her persistence in her own beliefs.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is right. The Chen family is no longer as prosperous as it once was. But in my heart, the Chen family is always the descendants of those loyal officials who silently dedicated themselves to the country and the people. Their loyalty and sacrifice should not be forgotten because of the rise and fall of the family. My move is not only a recognition of the Chen family's past contributions, but also an opportunity to encourage more people to remember history, cherish the present, and continue to contribute to the future of the country."

Her words revealed a vision and foresight that transcended personal interests, which moved everyone present.

Prime Minister Murong nodded secretly, expressing his high appreciation for Jiang Xue's insight and magnanimity.

"Miss Jiang Xue's righteousness is truly a blessing to our dynasty. She truly deserves the title of Crown Princess." Prime Minister Murong spoke earnestly and bowed deeply to Xuan Zhentian, his eyes full of admiration and expectation for Jiang Xue.
