She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

Chapter 499: Villagers’ Reactions

The child, who was almost ten years old, was already as tall as Yu Yuanzheng's shoulders.

"We just arrived on the island the day before yesterday, so it's not that easy. Don't worry, there won't be any impact. There's a saying, let me teach you again: quantitative change leads to qualitative change."

Then Yu Yuanzheng explained to the children the meaning of this sentence.

The three children gained new insights after hearing this.

"Mother knows a lot." Shangguan Changyu looked at Yu Yuanzheng with admiration.

Yu Yuanzheng felt sweet in her heart as she looked at the three sensible children.

Thinking that my children are almost ten years old, should I tell them about my origins?

Otherwise, it is hard to explain why she knows more than people of this era, and when children go out and interact with others, they will inevitably talk about things they know but others don’t.

There is a high probability that an argument will arise.

Once they found the reason, they stopped going elsewhere.

When the group returned to their residence, Grandma Ye and Grandma Cui were already waiting for them.

The two of them have been feeling uneasy.

Only when I saw them come back did I feel relieved after worrying for the whole afternoon.

"Your Majesty, have you found anything?" Grandma Ye really wanted to know the result of their trip up the mountain.

“Mrs. Ye, the princess has discovered the problem.

This island is no longer suitable for living. I plan to move you all out.

You are originally the people of my Great Wei. I will arrange accommodation and land for you to cultivate.

Gather all the villagers tomorrow, and I will personally explain my plans to everyone."

The emperor had already made up his mind, so he just said it directly.

When Grandma Ye and Grandma Cui heard this, they were stunned.

Leave the island where they have lived all their lives?

This is no small matter.

This decision must be discussed with everyone.

"Could you please tell us why we can't live here?" Grandma Ye wanted to tell the villagers the reason, otherwise few people would be willing to leave the place where they had lived for so many years.

"Grandma Ye, let me tell you." Yu Yuanzheng took over the conversation.

Then tell them the reason in words that the two elderly people can better understand.

The two of them were stunned for a long time after hearing this.

With such good land and such good water, they would never have thought that there would be a water problem.

Water is a necessity for life and cannot be lacking in any way.

"Princess, if we only drink the rainwater that falls from the sky, can we avoid this problem?" Granny Cui still wanted to find other ways to solve the problem.

She also didn't want to leave the place where she had lived all her life.

If I go out, the change will be too big and I will have to start everything from scratch.

The future life is unknown.

No one can accept it.

“For daily water use, you can collect rainwater from the sky, but what about crops?

The land you cultivate also contains sulfur-generated acid, and the food you eat contains it. This is why most of your villagers die in their forties.

Consuming foods containing sulfur for a long time will have a significant impact on your lifespan. And look at the Emperor, who is the same age as you. He's in good health and full of energy, and he could easily live for decades longer. And you all look at least seventy now."

Yu Yuanzheng tried her best to persuade him.

She also knew that the villagers would be reluctant to leave their homeland.

"There's another serious problem. There are too few men on the island, which leads to serious inbreeding, and an increasing number of abnormal children are born.

"Don't worry, the Grand Emperor and the Emperor are both rare wise rulers in our Great Wei. They love the people like their own children and will definitely make sure your future lives are well taken care of," Yu Yuanzheng added.

After hearing her words, the two mothers-in-law's expressions relaxed a little, and they no longer had the panic that seemed like the sky was falling.

That night, the two mothers-in-law went to many houses separately.

Tell the villagers the reason and convey the emperor's intention.

They want to hear everyone's opinions.

But everyone sighed and was at a loss.

"Sister Ye, have you asked the emperor how to accommodate us?" A woman named Jiang was very worried after hearing what Grandma Ye said.

She has three daughters, one of whom has already gone up the mountain and given birth to a daughter, while the other two have also gone up the mountain but are not pregnant yet.

She was worried about this.

If they go out, how will they live?

"I haven't asked about that. Tomorrow the Emperor will speak to everyone personally, and then we can all find out. I'm not sure either."

Alas, I am already half buried in the earth. If I go out, I don’t know where I will be buried.” Grandma Ye was also melancholy.

Their ancestors are buried here.

If I leave, I won’t even have the chance to pay my respects.

Our ancestors can no longer enjoy their incense.

It was not until late at night that Grandma Ye returned to her home. She visited more than a dozen families, but not a single one of them agreed to leave.

"Mom, actually I don't want to leave either. We don't know what it's like outside, and we have no idea how we're going to live there." Grandma Ye's eldest daughter said worriedly.

She is already in her thirties and her eldest daughter is in her teens.

There are two small ones.

If they go out, they will have nothing in their hands. How will they survive?

In the past two days, some girls on the island have approached the men who came to the island to talk to them.

I also heard some of the situation outside.

Although everyone yearns for it, the outside world is a man's world and they are all women. If they suddenly go to that kind of environment, can they still live like they do now?

Every family in the village is made up of girls, but the lifestyle outside is completely different from theirs.

Each family has men and women living together, and they all listen to the men.

They have become accustomed to their current life. If it changes, can they adapt?

"Let's hear what the emperor says tomorrow." Grandma Ye was also helpless.

If we don't leave, in a few decades there will be no one left on the island.

That's the biggest problem.

The next day.

Yu Yuanzheng woke up again to the sound of children practicing martial arts.

Seeing the energetic children, Yu Yuanzheng walked out of the house with a smile, sat down on a stone bench in the yard, and watched them practice.

She saw her daughter practicing every move very seriously.

I feel a little worried.

It's a good thing that the son is good at martial arts, as he can protect his family.

But if my daughter is also very skilled in martial arts, how will she get married in the future? If the son-in-law she meets is too weak, how can she subdue him?

In her previous life, she knew that it was difficult to marry a woman who was too strong, and even if she did, a family with a weak husband would not last long.

When the three children saw their mother sitting down to watch them practice martial arts, they practiced even harder.

In the end, they fought each other.

I didn't expect that my daughter could tie with my eldest son.

The eldest daughter had the upper hand before, when did the daughter become so powerful?

"Chang Yu, have you been lazy recently?" Yu Yuanzheng had seen a lot and could tell how the martial arts moves were used.

Shangguan Changyu put away his sword.

"Mother, it's not true. Father said that men should give way to girls. I'm only giving way to my sister."

"Who told you to let me go? Don't let me go in the future."

"My father said so." Shangguan Changyu felt aggrieved.

"Your sister is a girl, you should give in to her a little." At this time, Shangguan Ziqi came back and heard the conversation between mother and son.

"Look, I didn't lie."

"Father, if my elder brother always gives in to me, my martial arts won't improve. From now on, he is not allowed to give in to me." Shangguan Yajing said coquettishly.

"Aren't you afraid your brother will hurt you? That would hurt a lot."

"I'm not afraid."

At this time, two maids prepared breakfast and brought it to the table.

The emperor and the old prince also came back from morning exercise.

After meal.

Grandma Ye and Grandma Cui called all the villagers to the square they had been to before, including the men from the mountain.

Everyone gathered together to listen to the emperor's order.
