A crisp sound was heard between the teeth, and juice overflowed in the mouth.

The flesh is delicate and firm, making a slight crunching sound when chewed.

It is so different from the apples I have eaten before that there is almost no comparison between the two.

The ones I ate before were hard and sour, and not sweet enough.

The sweetness of this kind of apple is fresh and natural.

Sweet but not greasy, both the texture and taste are unparalleled.

"Coach, how does it taste?" Zi Yang asked while swallowing his saliva.

"The immortal fruits of the divine realm are incomparable to the fruits of our mortal world."

Tan Junyan looked up at the mountain-like pile of apples, her expression somewhat moved.

Even though the fruit is very common in Wang Yan's place, anyone can buy it.

But with so much money, it must have cost a lot of gold and silver.

The value of these apples is probably an astronomical figure.

One soldier rolled his eyes and said, "I wish the gods could give us apples from time to time."

Tan Junyan turned around, looked at the soldier, and said sternly, "Every item of supplies that the gods send us costs money."

"Gods are bought with real money, not conjured up."

"The gods spared no expense and saved hundreds of thousands of us."

"The gods have been so kind to us, and we have no way to repay them. How can we just keep asking for more and expecting more?"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers lowered their heads in shame.

Another soldier beside him said, "The gods don't owe us anything. On the contrary, we owe them too much."

"If the gods hadn't sent me food in time, my two daughters would have died long ago..."

The man's voice choked as he said, "When I took the rice back, my two children burst into tears with excitement."

"My wife cut her wrists to bleed to feed the two children. The wounds on her wrists were heartbreaking to me."

"The rice was cooked into porridge, and the two children devoured it ravenously. I will never forget that scene."

"Who said it wasn't?" Another soldier took over the conversation.

"I have three children, the oldest is only five years old. Their mother and I have been bleeding so much that we can hardly bleed any more. If the gods hadn't given us water and food, our whole family would have starved to death long ago."

"God and General Tan saved my whole family!"

One general nodded slightly. "Even if we weren't trapped in a desperate situation and the barbarians weren't besieging the city, we would still be doomed. Our lives are given by the gods."

"And the gods also need to spend money to purchase supplies. The gods are helping us without reservation. I suggest that these apples cannot be given away for free. Whether you are a commoner or a soldier, if you want to eat apples, you must use gold and silver to buy them."

"Then, General Tan will hand over the gold, silver, and money to the gods. Only then will the gods have more funds to purchase food for us."

"This is a good idea, I agree." Zi Yang was the first to agree.

"I agree too." Han Chonglie also expressed his support.

"Natural disasters and crop failures year after year have left the land barren, and even with money we can't buy food. What's the difference between our money and dirt?"

"Yes, it would be better to collect all the money and give it to the gods."

"Coach..."

A general with a rough appearance named Shi Xiong said to Tan Junyan:

"I suggest that all food should no longer be distributed for free and must be purchased with money."

"Yes, there's no way you can eat for free. You have to pay for it."

…

Other officers and soldiers expressed their support.

Tan Junyan felt that it seemed to be okay, but she also felt that something was not right.

He couldn't make up his mind for a moment, and after a moment's thought, he said, "Move the apple away first, and let me consult the gods before making a decision."

"Everyone, work together and move quickly." Shi Xiong shouted to everyone in a muffled voice.

The soldiers rushed forward and soon cleared a passage.

Everyone thought that the porcelain jar would be buried under the apple box, but after clearing a passage, they found that there was no box around the porcelain jar.

The area around the sacred jar is completely empty.

Moreover, this porcelain jar is much larger than before.

Zi Yang and others asked Tan Junyan, but Tan Junyan did not answer. She quickly walked to the porcelain jar and threw the written note into it.

…

Wang Yan got into the car with the shrunken porcelain jar, ready to go to the warehouse to see what supplies had arrived.

Sun Hao just called and said that a batch of shovels, tricycles, and several other supplies arrived last night.

Before I started the car, a note was passed to me.

Wang Yan grinned at the sight.

Tan Junyan was still the same as before, writing on the back of the note she had written before.

She has always been very frugal with the use of paper.

A single sheet of paper can be reused multiple times or cut into smaller sheets.

It seems that it is necessary to mail her some more paper so that she won’t be reluctant to use it.

I picked up the note and opened it, and saw that it said:

The shoes and socks fit my feet perfectly and are very comfortable. I love them very much.

The breakfast was delicious, the best food I have ever tasted.

The soldiers have received the sweet fruits and are deeply grateful.

Many people said that whether soldiers or civilians, if they wanted to eat fruit or other food, they had to buy it with gold and silver.

Both gold and silver are paid to the gods, because the gods also need money to buy things for us.

I dare not make a decision on my own, so I ask the gods if it is feasible.

"this……"

Wang Yan hesitated slightly, pulled the car handle, and took out a pen and notebook.

I opened my notebook and wrote in Tan Junyan's style:

And there is no use for it. I sold several pieces of gold, silver and jewelry yesterday. My financial needs are sufficient for now, so I don’t have to worry.

If I am short of money and cannot afford to buy things, I will tell you.

In a short while, I will send you a batch of digging tools, and then you can order people to dig a river inside the city.

Don’t discard the sand you dig out, as you can use it to build houses and city walls.
