Chu Xiao didn't take the cigarette from him, but only took the list and looked at it.
After confirming that everything was in order, I promptly signed the form and then paid the remaining balance.
The grain store owner was as happy as a child when he received the money.
Chu Xiao was busy delivering supplies and didn't have time to chat with him, so he asked Mu Zhicheng to see him out.
After everyone left, he passed a note to Qin Yuezhao:
"Princess Yue Zhao, the food is ready. Find a large place to receive it."
——
Liangcheng, the street in the city center.
Qin Yue Zhao took Xu Qing Sheng out and walked on the streets of Liangcheng.
In just one month, Liangcheng has transformed from a desolate place into a brand new one.
The messy shacks were all demolished, the collapsed houses are being rebuilt, and the messy beggar's den has been transformed into pigsties and sheep pens.
Previously unclaimed pigs, cattle, and sheep were registered and then kept in farmers' homes.
This way, the elderly and children can cut grass to feed the animals, without wasting manpower.
Xu Qingsheng stared at the cattle and sheep in the yards of every household, frozen in place for a moment.
Didn't they say that cannibalism had already occurred in Liangcheng?
With so many cows, sheep, and pigs, what kind of people would eat them?
Just then, a shimmering lake appeared before them.
He stopped abruptly, his voice trembling: "A lake, this really is a freshwater lake!"
"Your Highness, the nine kingdoms are currently suffering from a severe drought. Even the Great Xia Kingdom has only underground rivers left. I never expected that Liangcheng would have a surface lake?"
Qin Yue Zhao laughed and said, "What you see now is all a gift from the gods!"
"Is it all a gift from the gods? Why did the gods only give it to Daqian and not to Qingguo? We also fervently worship the heavens!"
Hearing this, Ling Tianen rolled her eyes at him disdainfully.
"Look at what you're saying! Of course, it's because our princess is a goddess! Do you think every country has a goddess?"
Xu Qingsheng's voice choked.
After a long pause, he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I must write these down in my travelogue so that the people of the nine kingdoms can see that these are miracles, true miracles!"
Suddenly, a rough shout came from behind:
"Hey! People in front, please move aside, don't block the horses from drinking water."
The three of them turned their heads at the same time.
Then they saw a large herd of warhorses galloping in from the military camp.
That's outrageous!
These horses were thin, with rib marks all over their backs and bellies, and their noses and mouths were cracked and bleeding.
As if they knew where the water was, they rushed into the lake and drank heartily.
Xu Qingsheng's voice instantly turned into a loud bang:
"Ah, so many horses? Wasn't Liangcheng besieged by the Northern Barbarians until they ran out of ammunition and food, and ate all their horses?"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers driving the horses hurriedly came forward.
"Although many of our horses were eaten, the horses of the Northern Barbarians became the horses of the Huo family army, and Liangcheng is not short of horses!"
He proudly raised his head and bowed to Qin Yue Zhao.
"Your Highness, in last night's battle we captured a total of 3,867 warhorses from the Northern Barbarians, all of which have been fed fine horse feed!"
"You still have horse feed?" Xu Qingsheng was even more surprised.
"Of course, our horse feed consists of black beans the size of pearls, plump barley grains, and even corn kernels and fine bran."
Xu Qingsheng's mouth was wide open.
What?
Are the horses in Liangcheng fed better than the people?
Just then, Chen Wan'er rushed over from the direction of the General's Mansion, holding a note.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! A message from the gods says they will send you grain. Please return to your residence to see it."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yue Zhao immediately looked at Xu Qing Sheng.
"Young Master Xu, didn't you say you wanted to see how the gods delivered supplies to Liangcheng? Shall we go back together and take a look?"
