The commoners who rushed over did not manage to buy the cured pork and pickled vegetables that the Emperor had eaten. Instead, they returned home with a legend about the royalty. Hence, after the commoners specially spread the news, the news of the Emperor eating chaff and vegetables to help out the commoners spread throughout Jiangnan, and then to the north, central, western, and southern regions.
Unknowingly, Qi Xiuyuan had gained the loyalty of a large number of subjects. It had only been half a year since the founding of the country, but the people had slowly developed a sense of belonging to Great Qi. By the time the Emperor found out, the news had already reached Qiannan. The people of Qiannan specially gathered to pay a visit to the capital to thank the Emperor for his love for them.
