The roast is ready, and Ling Baoguo and his team have finished cooking in the kitchen.

Nearly all these ingredients were brought by Ling Feng, whether it’s vegetables, fruits, or staples, they’re all products from Ling Corporation.

Once the table was full, Ling Feng said to Li Huang, "Your Majesty, please have your meal!"

"Alright!"

Li Huang nodded, rose, and sat down by the table.

The rest, including Lin Tai, remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Ling Feng thought for a moment and decided it wasn’t necessary to speak.

This is the Li Dynasty, they have their own rules, and he shouldn’t disturb them.

Li Huang didn’t seem to intend for everyone to dine together; it was clear that being able to sit on equal footing with the emperor was already an exception, sharing a meal at the same table was impossible.

"What a lavish meal!" Li Huang remarked.

Ling Feng smiled, "Compared to your majesty’s imperial cuisine, this is certainly nothing!"

"Oh, not at all, even in the Imperial Palace my meals are not as rich as this one, often just one dish and one rice is enough," Li Huang stated.

Ling Feng was quite surprised by this; seeing Lin Tai and others slightly nod, he knew this old man wasn’t deceiving him.

So he quickly said, "I didn’t know Your Majesty is so frugal, that is indeed surprising to me!"

"It’s natural that you’re not familiar with our situation!"

Li Huang chuckled, picked up a skewer of roast meat, "This was personally made by Mr. Ling, let me try it first!"

"Please enjoy, Your Majesty!" Ling Feng replied.

After taking a bite of the roast, Li Huang’s eyes flashed brightly, and he immediately asked, "What kind of meat is this?"

"Your Majesty, did you discern the flavor?" Ling Feng asked.

"Indeed, this kind of thing is very beneficial to the human body. Eating it once a month ensures peace and health for a year!" Li Huang said.

"Exactly, this meat is filled with Spiritual Energy, eating it not only boosts immunity but also prolongs life!"

Ling Feng nodded and continued, "Strictly speaking, this meat is produced in my world, but not on my planet, rather on other planets!"

"What does that mean?" Li Huang inquired.

His concept of the universe was far less than a primary school student from Ling Feng’s world, totally unaware of planets and cosmic space.

Ling Feng didn’t provide much explanation, just a brief description.

Li Huang barely understood, but didn’t ask more, sampled each dish on the table with curiosity, and immediately praised them.

These ingredients, each one tasted much better than local ones, and were far more nutritious.

Logically, the best things in the world are sent to the emperor to taste, yet even he hadn’t eaten these before, hadn’t tasted such flavors, so ordinary people were even less likely to experience them.

However, Li Huang didn’t seem to care much about the food, after tasting the delicious meal, he didn’t indulge, but rather stood up and said, "Alright, I’m full now, Lin Tai, you may come and taste them!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only then did Lin Tai and others stood up and approached the table.

Seeing Li Huang returning under the tree for tea, Ling Feng rose and said, "Please enjoy the meal, I’ll go speak with His Majesty!"

"Alright, Mr. Ling, please go ahead!" Lin Tai nodded.

As Ling Feng left, everyone looked at each other and immediately began indulging in the feast.

Returning under the tree, Ling Feng sat down, didn’t say anything.

He knew Li Huang would ask him, so he was in no hurry.

Sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Li Huang asked, "Mr. Ling, can the things you provided today meet the needs of the entire Li Dynasty?"

"Direct supply might be difficult, but we can cultivate them here!"

Ling Feng smiled and continued, "My vegetables, fruits, and grains grow fast, they can be harvested in a month!"

"That fast!"

Li Huang was stunned and then asked, "How about the yield? Is it high?"

"For grain, the yield is about three thousand pounds per acre," Ling Feng said.

"Three thousand pounds?"

Li Huang’s eyes widened.

Ling Feng chuckled inwardly; he had previously asked Ling Baoguo, the land here is barren, the grain crop varieties are very outdated, and the yield per acre is less than five hundred pounds.

This is why Li Dynasty’s commoners barely maintain subsistence.

His grains yield seven to eight times of the local production per acre.

After the initial shock, Li Huang was suddenly a bit anxious.

He quickly asked, "Mr. Ling, when can you start cultivating here?"

"Anytime!"

Ling Feng smiled and continued, "But there’s a prerequisite, it’s not just bringing seeds and planting them!"

Li Huang nodded upon hearing, "Feel free to speak, you are here to bring benefits, not invasion, I won’t be suspicious!"

"Thank you!"

Ling Feng smiled and continued, "To cultivate, large amounts of land are needed, not to mention manpower and resources, as well as lots of machinery and energy. Without solving these issues, large-scale grain cultivation would remain impossible."

"To do a good job, one must first sharpen one’s tools."

Li Huang nodded, "I understand this principle!"

"Yes, so I must first work on infrastructure," Ling Feng said.

"In that case..."

Li Huang pondered for a moment, then said, "I can designate this province as a special zone, giving you full authority. Local officials will follow your directions, and you can use the land as you see fit, how about that?"

Ling Feng felt somewhat flattered, quickly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is too generous, a province is too much for me to handle, just managing this county will be enough to keep me busy!"

"How can that be enough?"

Li Huang quickly replied, "How much land does this county have, can it supply the whole country?"

"Don’t rush, take it slow, you can’t gain weight in one bite!" Ling Feng laughed.

"Indeed."

Li Huang nodded and continued, "If Mr. Ling can provide our dynasty with ample grain and those vegetables and fruits, our dynasty will soon prosper, and not only that, I am willing to appoint you as the Prime Minister of this dynasty right now!"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng was speechless for a moment, quickly shook his head, "No need, I’m not interested in official positions!"

Li Huang was stunned, to outsiders, this was a grand opportunity, yet he was indifferent, he immediately asked, "Then what are you interested in?"

"The common people, the public." Ling Feng replied.

Once said, Li Huang was taken aback!

Then he laughed heartily, exclaimed loudly, "Mr. Ling, I truly admire you!"

"Mutually so, I too greatly respect you as a ruler!" Ling Feng laughed.
