General Chen felt dazed.
Accustomed to the desolation and barrenness outside, suddenly a large field of crops brimming with life appeared before my eyes, reminding me of the time before the disaster...
Although the weather was abnormal at that time, Yizhou had not suffered serious disasters before. Zhongshan State was surrounded by mountains and the temperature was not affected much. They were stationed on the border and could often see tenant farmers working in the fields, and occasionally children running around laughing along the ridges.
Looking back now, it seems like a long time ago even though only a year has passed.
The mountains and rivers have changed, and things and people are no longer the same.
General Chen suddenly felt very uncomfortable and stared at the crops for a long time without being able to speak.
Behind them.
The soldiers of the vanguard camp who came from the foot of the mountain were shocked to see the crops still alive in the fields. Their jaws dropped, their eyes widened, and their mouths opened wide.
All the soldiers could think of was "There are crops in Wei's Fort".
In the distance, some tribesmen were watering the fields on the mountain and checking the condition of the crops. When they saw Mingyuan and Wuniang coming back with their people, they greeted them from a distance.
Wei Xiyin recognized the person; it was the clansman she had rescued from the Shifang Sect.
She responded aloud: "Uncle Feng."
Wei Mingfeng ran over, sweating profusely. It was hot outside, and he and several tribesmen had been guarding the fields for two hours, busying around and sweating all over.
"Everyone is back. You must have had a hard time on this trip. Let's go back to the dock and rest."
Wei Mingyuan continued, pointing to the crops in the field, "It's hot, and to keep the crops alive, I'm afraid we've used a lot of water. Do we have enough water in the tribe?"
His original intention was that if there was not enough water, he would let the Wei family army go out and look for more water after returning this time, and he must preserve this harvest.
Wei Mingfeng misunderstood, thinking that they were wasting water. After all, the water was found by the Wei family army. People outside couldn't even drink the water, but they were extravagant enough to use the water to irrigate their crops.
He quickly explained, "There's enough water. Mingjingtang sent people to measure it. The pool doesn't look big, but it's actually bottomless and impossible to measure. We've used a lot of water, but the water level hasn't dropped much..."
Wei Xiyin pointed at the crops and asked, "How many times do we need to water them in a day?"
"Three times, morning, noon and evening. The temperature is too high now. If we don't work harder, the crops won't survive."
Carrying water up the mountain is a physical job that the tribesmen have never done before. Now water resources are precious, and if they spill, all the water will be wasted, so the people responsible for carrying water are servants.
The uncles and aunts would follow them up the mountain every day to check on the growth of the crops.
Wei Mingfeng suddenly thought of something and bowed to Chu Yu behind him, saying, "Sir, you are indeed very clever. We went over to check yesterday and saw that the farmland managed by Ji Dalangjun and Xi Shu was growing the best."
Chu Yu specifically told Wei Mingze about this before leaving.
On the pretext that they needed to observe the crops, they asked for two plots of land and allocated them to the institute.
In order to facilitate observation and care, the two plots of land allocated to us are located right above the research institute, very close to it.
The tribesmen looked at the two plots of land that grew twice as fast as theirs and were puzzled.
Only a few people know about this now.
Chu Yu politely responded, "You're welcome, this is what I should do."
The soldiers at the rear had already climbed over the wall and started down the mountain. The people in the front didn't move, and the people behind couldn't move either.
The mountain road is becoming more and more congested.
Wei Mingyuan exchanged a few polite words with his tribesmen, then led the way and took everyone back to the fort.
Wei Lang followed his sister like a little tail, step by step.
Wei Xiyin followed beside Wei Mingyuan, and behind her besides her brother were two gentlemen and General Chen.
General Chen had been a little absent-minded since he saw the crops. It was not until he followed the girl and the others to the foot of the mountain and saw the endless wall that he came to his senses.
Shocking is no longer enough to describe it.
There is a six-meter-high wall in front of us that serves as a barrier. The wall winds along the foot of the mountain. There is a peaceful atmosphere in Ling County. Guards are patrolling around with curling stones in their arms. People who go out to work on the official road push carts between the county town and the fort.
Those people have been working outside for a long time, so their skin is a little tanned, but their eyes are bright and they exude a vitality. They travel together, led by the foreman.
In a daze.
Not far away, another group of people came over, talking and laughing, pushing a cart. The cart was full of the latest paper produced by the paper mill. One team was responsible for transporting the precious paper back to Mingjing Hall in the fort.
Truckload after truckload of supplies appeared in their sight and then gradually disappeared.
Look around.
The entire Ling County is full of vitality.
The feeling it gave him was extremely shocking.
However, the more shocking thing was yet to come. After passing a section of high wall that closed off the mountain, the gate of the wall appeared in everyone's sight.
A tall observation tower with a sunshade was erected, and sentries were patrolling the territory above. Every few meters, a defensive crossbow was placed on the wall...
Looking down, through the gate in the wall, you can vaguely see what's going on inside.
The inside of the wall is like a small city. The people who just drove the vehicle in are now walking along the straight and flat road to the dock bridge. The dock, as a "city within a city", is located in the center of the wall. From a distance, you can see a little bit of the building.
The soldiers of the vanguard battalion behind him couldn't help but hold their breath, unable to believe what they saw.
They once lived in ruins and deathly silence. Later, when they pacified Zhongren County, natural disasters struck and people lived in numbness until the princess appeared, giving them a glimmer of hope.
At this time, Zhongshan Kingdom was in ruins and the people of Zhongshan were still thinking about how to rebuild their homes, but the people in Wubao had already lived a stable and prosperous life?
