Hehe, now it's time for Xixi to step in.
Fortunately, Xixi had previously plundered a considerable amount of grain from corrupt officials.
【XiXi, fill the general's granary now.】
But will Father give it to these people for free?
It might be okay once or twice, but in the long run, these people will become dependent on it.
It seems we still need to solve the planting problem.
Zhu Shengan wholeheartedly agreed with his daughter's view: it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish; the root of the city's problems still needs to be solved.
Despite knowing that her father would use the grain to save lives, Xixi still decided to fill the granary of General Jiang's mansion.
She struggled to pull her small hand out of Liu's arms and waved it towards the granary.
Moments later, Tao's command was heard from the granary.
Hearing the sound, everyone rushed over and followed the sound to the granary.
"My wife, are you alright?"
Zhu Haotian came up behind Tao Shi first, supporting her hand, afraid that she would fall.
Tao was both surprised and delighted, pointing to the mountain of grain piled up in the granary and making excited noises.
"Grain, lots of grain."
Everyone followed Tao's finger and looked at the granary. When they saw the grain piled up like a small mountain, they all exclaimed in surprise.
“This…this grain…” Old Mrs. Zhu was the first to snap out of her daze, pointing at the granary in confusion.
In order to keep his daughter's divine constitution a secret, Zhu Shengan had no choice but to stand up with a smile and pat his chest as he spoke.
"Sigh, I'm coming clean, I'm not acting anymore, actually..."
Before he could finish speaking, the entire Zhu family excitedly entered the grain trough and circled around the small hill of grain.
"Mother, we won't have to worry about not having enough to eat anymore." Tao Shi quickly entered the granary, hugged the grain, and happily turned back to look at Old Lady Zhu.
Grandma Zhu looked at the small mountain of food filling the room, her face gradually showing worry, and sighed as she looked at Zhu Shengan.
"Boss, what's your opinion?"
Zhu Shengan never expected that not only his daughter but also his mother knew about his little scheme.
He glanced nervously at the others a few times and stammered.
"I was thinking... could we allocate some of these to the people in the city?"
"Brother, this is the General's Mansion. We will support whatever you want to do."
Zhu Chenfeng noticed his elder brother's predicament and patted his chest generously, saying...
Even Zhu Haotian saw through his older brother's thoughts and stepped forward with a smile, "Big brother, I'll help you. Just tell me how much you need."
Zhu Shengan was moved by his family's support and nodded to them.
Everyone was busy distributing rice to the people, while Xixi sat bored in the cart, occasionally looking up at her busy parents.
Bored, she tugged at Zhu Xiaobao's clothes, making babbling noises, constantly hinting to her brother to take her away.
Zhu Xiaobao was bored, so when the adults weren't looking, he pushed his younger sister toward the backyard of the mansion.
With her brother's help, Xixi went to the backyard and climbed back onto the ground, heading towards the rice paddies planted by her grandmother.
She came to the rice paddy that had not yet sprouted, waved her little hand, and sprinkled the soil nutrients from her bracelet onto the soil.
After doing these things, she climbed into the dried-up well and waved her little hand to pour the spring water into the well.
After the spring water entered the well, water quickly gushed out. In just a moment, the previously dry well was brimming with water again.
Xixi clapped her little hands happily as she looked at the well full of water.
The soil and well water used by Grandma are both fine now.
[Next, we need to create a stream so that the people can grow crops.]
But how did Xixi get outside?
After hearing that Xixi wanted to help the people with planting, Zhu Xiaobao came to her carrying a bamboo basket.
"Little sister, shall we go out and find some friends to play with?"
Xixi was worried about not being able to go out, but when she heard that she could go out, she happily waved her little hand.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Xiaobao quickly put his younger sister in the bamboo basket and carried her away from the backyard.
He crossed the street to the outskirts and found a dry riverbed, which only bore traces of the previous river water.
Zhu Xiaobao took Xixi out of the bamboo basket, deliberately clutching his stomach and saying, "Little sister, don't run around, I'm going to relieve myself."
After he finished speaking, he ran behind the rock and quietly watched Xixi's movements.
After her second brother left, Xixi immediately waved her little hand at the riverbed.
In a short while, the previously dry riverbed quickly froze into a river, the water of which was clearly visible to the bottom.
Zhu Xiaobao stared in astonishment at Xixi's godlike movements, remaining stunned for a long time until someone noticed Xixi and the river.
Why is there a child here?
"Look, there's still water! Go tell everyone we have water to drink."
Fearing that his parents would find out, Zhu Xiaobao quickly came out from behind the rocks and put her in a bamboo basket after the two left.
Then, carrying Xixi on his back, he ran desperately toward the General's Mansion.
Soon, news of the little fairy bestowing water spread throughout Mohe City, and Zhu Shengan, after discovering the river water, took precautions to prevent outsiders from seizing it.
A large number of officers and soldiers were deployed to garrison the walls. The river was located on the outskirts of the inner city of Mohe City, and there was another layer of solid city wall around the river.
Zhu Shengan deployed his troops to prevent others from attacking the city, while Old Lady Zhu led the women of the Zhu family to teach the people in the city how to grow rice.
The Sun family opened a clinic to help people solve their difficult and complicated illnesses.
Zhu Dabao followed Zhu Shengan to guard the wall and prevent the enemy from invading Mohe City.
Zhu Chenfeng, along with Zhu Haotian, was in charge of maintaining order and security in the city.
Liu and Tao, along with Xixi and Xiaobao, were responsible for trading with the Liang Kingdom, exporting grain from the city to Liang.
Liang Kingdom's daily goods circulate to Mohe City, which Xi Xi does in order to boost Mohe City's economy.
She secretly put all the treasures in her spatial storage into the general's mansion's treasury, hoping her father would find out.
When he returned, they deliberately played hide-and-seek with him and led Zhu Shengan to the silver vault.
When Zhu Shengan pushed open the vault door, he was astonished by the scene before him.
"It seems my Xixi is a little deity, and a god of wealth at that!"
With Xi Xi's support, Zhu Shengan planned to renovate the General's Mansion and spend a lot of money to repair the walls of Mohe City.
He worried that news of Mohe City having water and food would soon spread to other towns.
A fierce battle is inevitable. Only by repairing the walls and upgrading the weapons of the soldiers can we protect the people in the city.
Xi Xi was initially worried about whether her father would plan how to use the money, but now that she saw him investing all the money in repairing the walls, upgrading weapons, and building facilities in the city, she was relieved.
Only then was she completely relieved, and she would secretly fill the treasury from time to time to make it easier for her father to build Mohe City into a superpower.
The year is drawing to a close.
Xixi turned one year old and learned to eat and walk by herself. She also grew two little teeth.
Under the family's construction, Mohe City became increasingly prosperous, and at the same time, it took in refugees who came to seek refuge in Mohe City.
During this period, trade between Mohe City and the city was also very close, thanks to the management of the Liu and Tao families.
Pei Sining also came to Mohe City as an envoy of the Liang Kingdom to negotiate a business deal to purchase a large amount of food, and also spent a prosperous New Year with Xixi at the General's Mansion.
"Your Highness, aren't you going home for the New Year this year?"
Zhu Shengan stretched out his arms and followed closely behind Xixi, who had just learned to walk, afraid that she might accidentally fall.
Pei Sining gazed at Xixi's adorable face with doting eyes, and gave a perfunctory reply.
"I'm not going back. I'll stay here from now on."
"They're all here? Your Highness, what are you saying?"
Upon hearing that Pei Sining wanted to stay at the General's Mansion, Zhu Shengan hurriedly shielded his daughter with his body and stared at him warily.
Pei Sining's eyes were only on Xixi, and she didn't notice Zhu Shengan's wary expression at all. She turned her head to continue looking at Xixi.
"His Majesty has ordered me to be stationed in Mohe City to learn from you how to grow rice."
Zhu Shengan saw through Pei Sining's little scheme, so he put his hands on his hips and deliberately blocked Pei Sining's view. He would move whenever Pei Sining moved.
The two seemed to be locked in a battle of wills, each trying to outdo the other, neither willing to admit defeat.
Helpless, Liu came to Xixi, picked her up from the ground, and sighed.
What are these two arguing about?
"I guess the older brother is worried that his daughter will be taken away by some bastard outsider?"
Upon hearing the noise, Tao came out of the room, holding her newborn baby in her arms, and looked at the two of them with a happy expression.
Upon hearing the sound, Liu turned around and hurriedly put Xixi down on the ground, wanting to take the child from Tao's hands.
"You've just finished your postpartum confinement period, you can't hold the baby, give the baby to me!"
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. You go and help Mom prepare the reunion dinner! I'll take care of things here."
Tao, who had been bedridden for a whole month, didn't want to be a useless person anymore, so she smiled and brought her child to Xixi.
Left with no other choice, Liu had to tell Xixi, "You're not allowed to let your aunt hold you."
Xixi knew that her aunt had gone through a lot of hardship giving birth to her little sister, so she grinned and nodded happily.
After Liu left, Tao quickly brought her daughter over and said mysteriously.
"Xixi, why don't you name your little sister?"
Hearing the sound, Xixi looked at the little white tiger nestled in its swaddling clothes, and smiled as she touched its little face.
"Tiger........."
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of firecrackers rang out around them. Grandma Zhu waved her hand, holding a spatula, urging everyone to eat.
...........
The finale.
