Chapter 214: Faking a Crippled Leg and Sitting in a Wheelchair for Fifteen Years to Avoid the Emperor’s Suspicion? (1 / 2)
The old emperor summoned the Jinyiwei and quietly instructed, “Act as the situation demands.”
What did “act as the situation demands” mean? It meant that when Xu Yanmiao went around spreading the principle of how hens could turn into roosters, these Jinyiwei—who just “accidentally” discovered this information—were to report it back to him, the emperor!
Then, the emperor would find two men and two women, lock them up separately in two estates, and provide enough food for a year. The goal? To see if men could turn into women and women into men.
If it worked, then in the future, during wartime or when cultivating land, all the women could be turned into men. When population growth was needed, most men could be turned into women, leaving only a few to provide the “seeds.”
Wouldn’t it be perfect? They could get people when needed, grain when needed, and there would never again be a problem of too many men or too many women. Families wouldn’t have to drown their baby girls anymore either!
The old emperor mulled over this scenario and felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck his brain. The nation’s future looked dazzlingly bright.
Thank goodness Xu Yanmiao didn’t know about this; otherwise, he might have fainted on the spot.
Bright future? Seriously? Human and chicken chromosomes aren’t even the same, for heaven’s sake!
But since he didn’t know, he could happily continue to watch the spectacle unfold.
