Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1023 - 983: The Soldiers Wept

The Emperor must eat a lot of salt regularly, adding a lot of salt to every meal,

This is the only way to satisfy His Majesty’s craving for taste.

Thinking of this, his first reaction was to serve a large basin immediately,

Though they themselves couldn’t eat or dare eat such things, if truly made solely for the Emperor, their heads might not be safe,

After all, in their hearts, the Emperor is capricious.

To say the Emperor executes people is something far too easy and pleasant,

It’s quite normal to kill someone directly because of a word.

So, this cook naturally dared not defy Lin Yi’s wishes,

Thus, he wanted to take the basin and serve Lin Yi,

But when Lin Yi saw all this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, then waved his hand saying to everyone:

"No need to serve separately, we can eat the same, and don’t keep this stuff either.

Though salt is very important now, I promise you all, as long as I remain in this position, within half a year, none of you will worry about salt.

This will allow every common citizen in Dayou to have salt to eat regularly,

Moreover, salt will be available at the lowest price, at least half as cheap as the current coarse salt."

Upon hearing this, everyone froze on the spot,

Especially the cooks, who stupidly stared at Lin Yi,

Not knowing what to say.

What did the Emperor just say? The Emperor claimed to let everyone have salt within a year,

And at a price cheaper than coarse salt?

How is this possible?

It’s known that the current salt yield is rather considerable, to say the least, each province gets barely 1/10 of it.

Because of this, salt is even rarer in everyday households, some people have even found substitutes for salt.

A hint of flavor, a little salt intake, is sufficient enough.

As for having salt to eat every day, that’s something they don’t dare to dream of.

Knowing these people didn’t believe him, Lin Yi waved his hand, directly pulling out two large fiber bags of salt from the System Space,

The two bags combined weighed about 200 pounds,

This scene astonished everyone present.

Lin Yi’s methods are almost universally known in the Capital City, but here, no one knew,

So this showcase immediately stunned everyone present,

Looking at Lin Yi, their eyes were filled with shock and awe,

What did their Emperor just do?

Being able to conjure items by just waving his hand, what kind of immortal method is this?

Could it be that this man is truly an immortal reincarnated?

Or does he possess some unimaginable abilities?

Because of this, they first felt a strong sense of confidence.

With Lin Yi, perhaps they would soon unify the three kingdoms, wouldn’t they?

When these salts appeared before them, while everyone was utterly shocked, Lin Yi’s voice sounded again:

"As for today’s meals, just focus on eating well. Here is some salt for you to use for a few months."

After a few months, my words will be fulfilled, and you won’t worry about salt anymore."

Having said this, he waved his big hand, rolled up his sleeves, and grabbed the rice ladle from the cook.

Not only that, he looked at the crowd and called out:

"Come, line up properly, I will personally serve your meals."

This statement caused all present to abruptly kneel down, each with an expression of terror,

This is something they couldn’t imagine,

What was this about?

The Emperor would personally serve them meals?

Such privilege was beyond expectation, even beyond dream,

For the current Emperor is revered like heaven,

A single word of his could take life at will, how could such a noble figure serve food to these soldiers?

Furthermore, the saying "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen" illustrates that truly noble people would never be seen using kitchen utensils.

So, Lin Yi’s words were immensely compelling, directly leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Particularly, the cook who lost his ladle kneeled immediately, crawling to Lin Yi while raising his hands, pleading in fear:

"Mercy, Your Majesty, it’s my fault, I deserve death, how could I let Your Majesty hold this ladle?

I will prepare food right away, serve meals to everyone."

Who knew Lin Yi, seeing the man’s behavior, just smiled bitterly and shook his head, then grabbed him up, setting him to the side.

Because Lin Yi knew, at this point whatever he said, the other party was scared to the core, and wouldn’t move, nor dare to move,

Only by forcefully holding him up would they truly feel fear.

After pulling the man up, Lin Yi didn’t let him idle, directly ordered him:

"Less fussing around like a woman.

I said, today’s meals for my troops would be served by me!

Also, keep busy, don’t think helping you lets you slack, go hand out buns over there."

Spreading the order, tonight everyone must eat until full. No limit, eat as much as you want."

Upon hearing this, some soldiers instantly got red-eyed, each looking at one another, feeling unprecedented warmth,

After all, the Emperor was personally serving them meals,

And what did the Emperor say?

He referred to them as his sons, meaning they weren’t just cannon fodder, merely soldiers, but treated them as real men.

This kind of treatment was never seen before,

Not even Lord Liu cared for them as soldiers, they were treated more like slaves.

For this reason, Lin Yi’s words broke their defenses, even the sturdy men started wiping their eyes.
