Everything was spiraling in a bad direction, though the entire Imperial Dynasty appeared vibrant and flourishing on the surface. That, however, was built entirely upon the foundation of the massive amounts of grain seeds I had provided them, along with the Imperial Dynasty's own accumulated wealth gathered over many years. To push them further into their frenzy, I decided to pour a little more fuel on the fire.
Last year, I had my people research vehicles that could run on both vegetable and animal oils, and we successfully developed them. Xiu'er had written to me saying those cars had already been shipped to Yunxiu City, and ten of them were on their way, expected to arrive in about half a month.
With these vehicles that burned both animal and vegetable oils, their consumption would become truly terrifying. I didn't believe for a second that they could resist using such flashy machines. I had designed them exceptionally well; not only were they safe, but they were incredibly stylish. I even installed air conditioning, the most sophisticated feature of all. The only drawback was that the fuel consumption was astronomical.
