The old woman who had given him a small rice ball last time came to Zhan Chengyin with her
granddaughter in her arms. Her eyes were no longer as pessimistic as before, and she had spirit. She and her granddaughter knelt in front of Zhan Chengyin.
"Thank you, General, for saving us, the grandparents and grandchildren!"
As she said this, the old woman offered the most valuable half piece of ink on her body.
"General, I don't have much to
offer. This half piece of ink was left by my son when he was studying. Now my son and his wife are gone, and only my granddaughter is left. Please accept it, General!" With the old woman taking the lead, the rest of the people offered the most valuable items they thought were on their bodies to the general.
Some were bamboo slips, some were bronze coins, and some were ancestral jade pendants.
The wealthy merchants who used to do business in Zhenguan offered golden melon seeds and beans...
but more were wild vegetable roots.
The vegetable roots in the whole city were dug out. The people didn't know how long they had kept these stocks. The grass was withered and yellow, and the vegetable roots were covered with yellow sand...
Zhan Chengyin didn't accept the vegetable roots.
His eyes were full of tears. He looked at the people who gave him things, and his hands trembled as he accepted the people's thanks.
"From now on, everyone doesn't have to eat grass roots and tree bark."
"The general's mansion cooks porridge every day, and everyone is provided with two meals a day! Everyone doesn't have to go hungry anymore!" As
soon as Zhan Chengyin finished speaking, everyone cheered loudly...
"There is food and porridge to drink!"
"That's great, we can all survive!"
"Mother, does daddy not have to die? I don't want to eat daddy's meat anymore!"
"Son, we are saved, and the whole family doesn't have to die!"
"Woo, that's great, my sister doesn't have to be replaced by mother!"
Everyone cried with joy.
Some people knelt on the ground and laughed.
Some people cried loudly!
More people kowtowed to him, with blood marks on their foreheads.
They called Zhan Chengyin the reincarnation of a god, saving the people from fire and water!
Zhan Chengyin asked the people who were kneeling to stand up, and then changed the subject and said to everyone: "But, repairing the city walls, demolishing houses and rebuilding them, making weapons, and growing food... all the people in the city need to work!"
"Are you willing?"
The people answered loudly: "Yes!"
The general said that if they could grow food, it meant that there was water.
With water,
the people of the city would have hope!
Even if the General's Mansion no longer distributes rice porridge, everyone has land to grow and vegetables to eat!
No more starvation! That's great!
Hahaha, as long as there is water in the town, it is much better than those who flee from famine outside.
This is all given by the general!
When life is comfortable, they will erect a monument and build a temple for the general to praise the general's great achievements!
Tian Qin found a few soldiers who could write and began to register what the people in the city used to do.
For example:
those who used to grow food will be arranged to dig pits in wasteland.
Blacksmiths are arranged to forge weapons.
Merchants go to build houses.
The elderly, women and children sew clothes.
The rest of the people all go to repair the city walls.

The porridge shed was busy in the middle of the night, and there was still a steady stream of people queuing up. Zhan Chengyin returned to the General's Mansion to rest.
The vase has begun to leak water.
This time the amount of water is extremely large, several more than this morning.
There was a piece of white paper next to the table, "I'm going to have a rest. There are 1,800 bags of rice left to be delivered tomorrow. Tell me if you need anything else!"
Zhan Chengyin looked at the familiar handwriting with a smile on his lips.
He put all the gifts from the people on the table.
These things were given by the people of Zhenguan to thank her.
He will give them all to her tomorrow.
Uncle Li advised Zhan Chengyin to rest early.
How could he sleep now!
The news of opening the warehouse to release grain soon spread to the barbarian army.
Once the barbarians knew, they would attack the city more fiercely.
He opened the "Militia Military Training Manual", "Friends of Military and Civilian Dual-use Talents", and "The Art of War" and read them late into the night.

When Ye Mumu woke up in the morning, the water pump stopped.
She bought three more diesel water pumps last night. The water pipes were twice as thick as before. The three pipes pumped water at the same time, and the water was as big as a flood.
The diesel burned out and the water pump stopped automatically.
A small package was seen next to the vase.
She opened the package and found rolls of bamboo slips, jade pendants, gold melon seeds, gold grains, inkstones, ink sticks, porcelain bowls, porcelain cups...even handkerchiefs for girls.
There was a letter written by Zhan Chengyin.
"Yin has opened a porridge stall, and the people of the whole city are lining up to get porridge..."
He said that the gifts were gifts and tributes given by the people to thank the gods, and he hoped that she would not despise them. These are all antiques and are priceless.
How could she despise them!
He also said that once it was made public, the water and food in the city could no longer be concealed.
The barbarians would get the news sooner or later.
They attacked even more crazily!
There were only 20,000 soldiers in the city, and they could not resist the 300,000 barbarian troops.
Zhan Chengyin planned to build the city wall first, making it higher and thicker, so that it could resist for a while.
He wanted to purchase a large amount of glutinous rice, lime and bricks...
The ancients used glutinous rice to make soup to build the city wall, and then mixed it with sand and lime to bond... The city wall built was extremely strong.
This method is too old for modern people like Ye Mumu.
Nowadays, everyone mixes cement with sand and lays bricks, and the city wall is also very stable.
If it is shaped and poured with steel pipes, it will be more solid.
However, how can modern methods teach the ancients?
She found an iPad that had not been used for a long time in the room, charged it, and deleted unnecessary software.
Useful videos were left in the album.
For example:
how to mix cement and sand, how to build a wall, how to tie steel pipes for pouring...
All the videos were downloaded and put in the album.
She changed the album to: learning modern technology...
writing on white paper how to use the iPad, what the password is, how to turn it on, and how to charge it.
She connected a 200 mAh charging board to the wire and put it into the vase with the iPad.
I found a steel factory in the city and asked what type of steel pipes and how much steel wires were needed to build a six-meter-high wall.
The other party asked for specific requirements and gave a quote for the highest quality steel pipes and wires.
They also recommended the brick factory's contact information.
Ye Mumu ordered hundreds of tons of steel pipes and steel wires. More than
100 tons of cement were ordered.
Bricks were purchased from several trucks!
The warehouse address was reported for delivery!

Zhan Chengyin received a thin and flat object with a white shell from Ye Mumu.
He didn't know what it was.
His hand accidentally touched the screen, and the screen lit up, indicating that he needed to enter a password.
He picked up the white paper sent by Ye Mumu and entered the number written on it.
The tablet was successfully turned on.
The moment he entered the page, he was shocked!
This thing is really too magical.
The screen has light and can still be bright.
According to what Ye Mumu wrote, he poked his finger to learn modern technology~
The screen screen changed instantly...
He looked at the first video in surprise, and a man appeared in the screen. The man had short hair, wore a vest, and exposed his arms.
He choked immediately.
Dressed like this, the world is going downhill!
The man took a shovel, added water, and mixed cement and sand...
He explained while mixing!
How to mix cement and sand, and how much water to add.
How to build a wall, how to use cement to stabilize bricks and build a high wall!
Zhan Chengyin suddenly realized that the gods taught them to build a high wall, but the materials used in the world of gods are different from those in Daqi.
Therefore, this thing was sent to teach them how to build a wall.
In addition to building the city wall, there are also various crops, vegetables, fruits, rice, wheat, sorghum... planting teaching!
There are even postpartum care for sows!
It's amazing.
This is a divine object!
Zhan Chengyin excitedly wrote a note to Ye Mumu and passed it over.
"What is this? It's simply a miracle!"
