Chapter 364: Digging a Moat

Song Jiuning didn't want to doubt her common sense, but if the person who said this was Lu Wanyin...

She suddenly wanted to give up her common sense.

Lu Wanyin smiled slightly: "I guessed."

Song Jiuning: ...

Okay, so you don't need to go through the process and just fool around, right?

"That's right."

Lu Wanyin's mind moved: "It rained tonight, and the people in the city will have some free time tomorrow. Send some people to organize and start digging a canal, starting from the moat and digging towards the river."

"good."

Song Jiuning was distracted.

She was still wondering whether it would rain that night.

There was chaos outside the city.

"Why don't you let us leave the city? The food can't wait."

"It's not that we don't trust the City Lord, but we simply can't afford to gamble on something like rain."

"I've been farming for decades, and it's absolutely impossible for it to rain today."

The men sent by Di Er guarded the city gates, refusing to budge. "This is an order from the master of Zizai Peak. If there is no rain tonight, all tenants below Zizai Peak will be compensated with ten taels of silver per mu of land."

When these words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened.

If all the thousands of acres of fertile farmland were lost, how much silver would that cost?

If someone else had said such shocking words, the people of Zizai City would have beaten him up.

But the one who spoke was the master of Zizai Peak...

"I suddenly didn't want to haul water anymore."

"I have to collect the clothes. What if it really rains tonight?"

"Let's go, it's going to rain, we have to drive the chickens back to their roost."

The city guards looked at the people crowded at the door, and they dispersed instantly and fell silent.

Very good, the people of Zizai City have blindly trusted their master.

No matter how outrageous her stories were, the people in the city believed them.

As the night gradually darkened, more and more people appeared on the streets.

The lobby of Zizai Building was packed with people, all wanting to see whether it would rain tonight.

The night was dark, and the crescent moon above our heads was exceptionally clear.

"With such a bright moon, I'm afraid there won't be any rain at all."

"That shouldn't happen. The master of Zizai Peak said it will rain tonight."

Everyone looked sideways.

When did the words of the master of Zizai City become the rules?

As the night grew darker, many people could no longer wait and walked home yawning.

"No more waiting. I'm also confused. Why do I believe everything?"

"Yes, yes. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the City Lord's Mansion and wait for the silver."

As the yawning person stepped out of the door, he suddenly felt a chill on his face.

Before he could react, more water drops fell on his face.

"It's... raining."

“It actually rained.”

In the night of Zizai City, there was a burst of noise.

The people who had already returned home came out one after another and looked up at the sky.

Then... I was drenched by the overwhelming water.

"My God, the rain is too heavy."

"Just come as you say."

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and the people of Zizai City were looking for places to shelter from the rain, but no one went back to their own homes.

"It's a strange sight that it's raining even with such a bright moon."

"The Master of Zizai Peak said it would rain, and it actually rained. Is she a deity?"

I guess everyone in Zizai City will never forget today’s scene.

The second floor of the clinic.

Song Jiuning looked at the vague outline in the sky and fell into deep thought: "If I'm not mistaken, the sky is beautiful, isn't it? Wanyin is really good at it."

Starting from tonight, Zizai Peak's reputation in the city will surely reach a new height.

The task of digging the canal was arranged the next day.

As soon as the table for signing up to dig the canal was set out, it was crowded with people who came in droves.

Every time Zizai Peak is looking for people to work, the remuneration is extremely generous, resulting in a large number of people being unable to get a spot.

Taking advantage of the fact that the ground had been watered the day before, which was just the right time for digging, we started work as soon as the number of people was counted.

The moat has been cleaned, revealing the riverbed, and it looks much cleaner.

Lu Wanyin and Song Jiuning stood on the city wall together, looking at the hardworking people below: "It's still a bit too slow."

“This speed is still slow.”

Song Jiuning leaned against the city wall and looked down: "It's okay, the shovel is almost sending out sparks."

Lu Wanyin shook her head: "The project is still too big, and the manpower is limited after all. This is when they are most motivated at the beginning, and it will only be slower in the future."

The Da Sheng court has already begun to target them.

The sooner the moat is built, the better it will be for them.

Hearing this, Song Jiuning also frowned like her: "There's nothing we can do about it. The soil in the wilderness is too hard. It takes a lot of effort to dig it up."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lu Wanyin looking at her strangely.

Song Jiuning looked at herself and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"That's right, Jiu Ning, ah Jiu Ning, you are really my lucky star."

Lu Wanyin patted Song Jiuning's shoulder with a relaxed look and said, "We have a way to loosen the soil. Please arrange it. In the near future, Zizai City will be under curfew. The soldiers guarding the city are no longer needed. They can all go back to their homes and rest. Wait for my notification when the curfew is lifted."

Song Jiuning has gotten used to it.

Lu Wanyin always likes to give some strange orders.

She doesn't understand it, but it's always useful.

Thinking about the heavy rain last night, Song Jiuning nodded decisively: "Okay, but you can't just order me around to do the work. Let me see what you want to do tonight."

She wanted to know how many magical methods Lu Wanyin had.

"What's the big deal? If you want to see it, just come over here."

Lu Wanyin had never thought of hiding it from Song Jiuning.

She suddenly remembered something: "Oh, Jiu Ning, this is for you. You and Yu Yan and the others, no one will share any."

A bag full of chips taken out from the space.

"so much"

Song Jiuning's eyes lit up: "Didn't they say that if you use one, you will have one less?"

Xie Yuyan and the other twenty or so girls all have such chips.

Song Jiuning stayed with them all day, so of course she knew what it was.

Lu Wanyin smiled slightly: "Not anymore. We have as many of these things as you want. The same goes for ammunition."

She didn't tell anyone except Xie Jingci about the space upgrade.

Song Jiuning quickly took the bag, grabbed it several times, and her eyes lit up: "They are all! They are all Wanyin. Can I leave two for Master? That old man is very old. In order to collect herbs, he goes wherever it is dangerous. If something happens to him, I..."

Song Jiuning has been with Lu Wanyin for so long, and has never gone back once, but she never forgets to write a letter to her master.

At least two letters a month, without interruption.

The relationship between master and disciple is so good, and when there is such a good thing, of course she will think of the King of Medicine.

"What kind of words are you talking about?"

Lu Wanyin was dissatisfied and took out another bag from the space: "Two is not enough, is there anyone else who is important? Send more."

I don’t know how many chips have been sent out.

Lu Wanyin was not worried at all that they would misuse it.

The only one that was used was crushed by Hou Yuanji at the critical moment of life and death.
