"Yes, I will go now."
Just then, a fast horse galloped from the city.
Qin Yue Zhao leaped down.
When Huo Tingye saw her, he quickly came down from the city wall.
"Your Highness, why have you come out?"
Qin Yue Zhao took the treasure basin off the horse.
"The gods know that we have dug the irrigation canal and are preparing to send us water. You will no longer need to go into the city to carry water, which is so hard."
Huo Tingye's eyes lit up.
"Really? That's wonderful! But... Your Highness has taken in so many refugees and is even planning to build houses for them, we're running low on building materials and cement."
"It's alright. I'll inform the gods after I've dealt with the water issue."
Huo Tingye instantly felt more confident.
Then, remembering something, he whispered, "Your Highness, I've been observing the Northern Barbarians from the city wall with binoculars, and I've noticed they've been unusually quiet lately. Should we launch another surprise attack?"
Qin Yue Zhao lowered her eyelashes.
"I have also thought about this matter, but now is not the time. We will make plans after we have dealt with the refugee issue."
"Yes, this subordinate will take his leave."
Huo Tingye bowed and withdrew, while Qin Yuezhao strode out of the city gate.
When the refugees saw her arrive, they stopped huddling around the fire and instead swarmed around her to express their gratitude.
"Your Highness, the gods are amazing! I've never seen such building materials in my entire life!"
"The porridge you gave us was more delicious than any rice porridge I've ever eaten in my life!"
"The stove is amazing. It's so warm without needing to add firewood. The children all say you're a fairy."
“Your Highness, we old folks may not have much skill, but we can still help teach the children. If you need us, we are willing to do our utmost for you.”
"..."
Qin Yue Zhao was somewhat surprised: "Old man, are you a schoolteacher?"
The old man who spoke last had red eyes.
“Your Highness, my ancestors were all teachers. If it weren’t for the famine, I wouldn’t have left my hometown and abandoned my children in the city.”
"If you don't mind, I'm willing to repay Liangcheng with all my knowledge!"
Qin Yue Zhao immediately looked at Chen Wan'er.
"Wan'er, register the names and identities of these elderly people and arrange for them to come to the city to teach the children of Liangcheng."
Chen Wan'er quietly leaned close to her ear.
