"We swear to follow our lord to the death."
"We will always follow you, General."
"We'll do anything as long as we can have enough to eat."
All the people shouted loudly.
Jiang Tian was overjoyed when he saw this, and he stepped forward.
"Everyone, this is my lord. He is a living bodhisattva; it was he who gave the order to open the granaries and distribute grain."
"As the saying goes, 'When you drink water, don't forget the well-digger.' If you want to properly worship, then worship my lord."
At Han Xin's command, everyone knelt down.
"We swear to follow our lord to the death."
Jiang Tian nodded and waved to the people kneeling on the ground.
"Fellow villagers, please get up." Jiang Tian waved to the crowd.
"My lord, there are far too many people who would be willing to risk their lives for you right now."
I just checked the grain in this grain store.
If all the money were used to provide relief to the entire city, it wouldn't last long.
"You don't need to worry about that, there are plenty of granaries in the city."
"But no matter how much grain we have, there will always come a day when we can just sit and eat it all up." Han Xin was still full of worries.
"I will solve the food problem," Jiang Tian said loudly to all the people. "After you have received your food from this grain store, you will all be my people, Jiang Tian's people."
Those who were strong and healthy were selected by Commander Han to join the army.
As soon as Jiang Tian finished speaking, the people below began to whisper among themselves.
“My leg was cut during a battle with Liao soldiers last year, so I definitely can’t join the army.”
"My hands are so thin I'm too weak to even kill a chicken, so I wouldn't be selected for the army."
"I have one and a half broken arms, and I can't even lift a knife. How can I be a soldier?"
"It's a pity that I'm blind in one eye. To join the army is just a pipe dream."
Many people sighed and complained.
Being unable to join the army meant that one could only receive ten jin of millet.
Once they run out of food, they can only wait to die.
Jiang Tian gave them hope, but Han Xin's words shattered it.
Jiang Tian heard everyone's words clearly.
"Those who weren't selected, don't worry," Jiang Tian continued to shout into the crowd. "Those who weren't chosen, cultivate the fields, build bridges and roads, and construct cities for me. Your treatment may be a little worse than that of soldiers, but it's enough for you to survive."
Everyone was thrilled to hear this.
For them, survival is more important than anything else.
"Surely the master isn't lying to us."
The riverbed outside has dried up, and the land is so cracked that even if seeds were planted, there would be no harvest.
"My lord, even if we exhaust all our efforts and turn over every inch of the land, we still won't find a single drop of water."
Han Xin also glanced at Jiang Tian.
Jiang Tian redeemed Han Xin from the system, but Han Xin didn't arrive until that evening.
It wasn't for any other reason than that Han Xin had carefully examined the surrounding terrain.
The surrounding land was cracked, and there wasn't a single lush green tree nearby.
The grain harvest has long been lost.
To think that one could grow food in such a place is simply wishful thinking, a pipe dream.
Seeing everyone's doubts, Jiang Tian smiled slightly: "Don't worry, everyone. You can go home tonight. Tomorrow all the dry wells in this city will have water again. I said that. If you don't believe me, then wait until tomorrow to see who is better."
Jiang Tian doesn't need to worry about food at all now.
All the farmers in Peach Blossom Village have started growing grain.
Almost a month has passed now, and the grain should be ready for harvest by now.
The well water redeemed from the system can irrigate the land, allowing it to be harvested once a month.
This increases the yield per acre of land by more than ten times compared to before.
Everyone remained skeptical.
If they really need water, that would be fantastic news for them.
The distribution of food was carried out in an orderly manner.
No one cut in line.
Everyone was grateful to Jiang Tian and Han Xin.
It took Han Xin several hours to distribute all the rice in the grain store to the local people.
During this process.
Jiang Tian received another tens of thousands of anger points.
Without a doubt, all this anger comes from these snack shops and the surrounding grain stores.
With these tens of thousands of anger points...
A well that costs 2000 rage points can be exchanged for 70 to 80 wells today.
With these seventy or eighty wells, the water needs of all the residents of Feifu City can be basically met.
The wells are now being upgraded continuously.
A single well can produce 10,000 jin of water per day.
It was late at night.
The people had all fallen into a deep sleep.
Jiang Tian led Han Xin and 100 soldiers.
These people searched for a well along the city road, one by one.
When Jiang Tian arrived at the largest well in the city... the Shenlong Well.
He looked down by the moonlight.
This well is over 100 meters deep.
Apart from these few large wells, all the other wells in the city have dried up.
This well is almost empty.
This Shenlong Well is no ordinary well; its diameter reaches seven or eight meters.
It looks like a huge pool of water.
Jiang Tian opened the system and redeemed two water wells in succession.
He placed both wells on top of this sinking dragon well.
Soon, under the watchful eyes of everyone.
This huge well was bubbling and gurgling inside.
