The people of Lingnan, naturally, were very willing. After all, who would complain about having more grain or having a full belly?
Seeing the emperor's decree, Zhao Yao no longer had to worry about promoting the cultivation of Annan Country's rice.
The grain issue in Lingnan was resolved, but the problem of fruits there remained unsolved.
It was said that there were many fruits in Lingnan, and they were very delicious. These were fruits that had never been seen in the capital. Upon hearing this, Zhao Yao was extremely tempted, but unfortunately, he couldn't taste them.
Lingnan was too far from the capital. If fruit was transported from Lingnan to the capital, it would spoil on the way. If it were expedited using an eight-hundred-mile rush, the fruit would arrive fresh, but it would exhaust the officials delivering them. Besides, the cost would be too high, making it impractical.
