Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
Fire Extinguishing City has been suffering from drought for so many months that they are almost out of rice, let alone brown rice.
These are not the main problems. The main problem is that they have no water to drink.
King Qianhuang wants to give the soldiers such a huge salary just by opening his mouth. Where can they get it?
Only those who don’t manage the household know how expensive firewood and rice are.
Fire Extinguishing City can't even pay the salaries of the soldiers defending the city, so how can it give such money to new recruits?
They hadn't eaten pork in so long in the army that they almost forgot what meat tasted like.
Deng Yushan's eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.
No, is King Qianhuang crazy?
He was so generous right after taking over the Fire Extinguishing City, which seemed to show that he loved the people or something.
The key is that he can't take these things out.
Deng Yushan glanced at the soldiers who looked incredulous and sighed helplessly.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Deng Yushan gently shook off Zhang Wenyuan's hand, took a step forward and knelt in front of Shen Yong.
He had to show up. He was in charge of the granary in Fire Extinguishing City. Where would he get so many things to distribute to the new recruits?
Shen Yong looked at Deng Yushan, "Speak!"
Deng Yushan was stunned for a moment, then said with a stiff upper lip.
"King Qianhuang, you don't know that, put out the fire---Qianhuang City has been experiencing drought for three or four months."
"There's very little food left in the granary. It's already a problem for the soldiers to eat and drink, let alone pay them..."
Chen Yong glanced at Deng Yushan calmly.
"Since this king has said so, I can naturally provide these things. Lord Deng just needs to prepare the warehouse."
Deng Yushan blinked and looked at Shen Yong in disbelief.
He must have heard it right, right?
King Qianhuang means that these things do not need to be provided by him, King Qianhuang will give them himself?
Deng Yushan knelt on the ground, shocked by the news and unable to recover for a long time.
The first thing that came to his mind was the magical object that brought Shen Yong here.
Could it be that it was filled with rice, flour, grain and oil, so Shen Yong dared to say this.
But----the divine object does look very large, but it is probably not enough to pay the salaries of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Deng Yushan was not the only one who was shocked by Shen Yong's words.
Originally, they all thought that these things needed to be provided by the granary of Fire Extinguishing City, but it turned out that King Qianhuang didn't want to destroy the granary of Fire Extinguishing City at all.
Looking at King Qianhuang's calm expression, he must be telling a truth.
There is no need to tell such lies. They will be exposed soon after the new recruits are recruited.
If you lose the support of the people by then, the loss will outweigh the gain.
Taoist Chang Ye looked at Chen Yong doubtfully, and calculated quietly with his hands tucked into his sleeves.
He couldn't figure out Chen Yong's situation, but he could figure out the situation of the soldiers in front of him.
"Huh~" Taoist Chang Ye calculated and suddenly frowned in confusion.
What happened? Why did the fate of these soldiers become so confusing and full of uncertainty?
Their lives seemed to be connected with Chen Yong, and they were all confused and couldn't see clearly.
Taoist Chang Ye frowned and looked past the crowd to the greenhouse next to him.
He always felt that these women were the key to everyone's fate, but he couldn't see what the connection was.
Military Advisor Jian Guangqi looked at Shen Yong in shock.
He pursed his cracked lips and took a step forward courageously.
"King Qianhuang, I have something to say."
Shen Yong raised his eyebrows and looked at Jian Guangqi, "Military Advisor, please speak."
Jian Guangqi was slightly stunned, then he said with a folded hand,
"What Qianhuang City lacks most right now is actually water."
"The city's canals and ditches have long since dried up, and there are no more than ten wells in the city that still have water."
"The water supply is seriously insufficient even for the army, let alone the people of the city."
"In the past month, people in the city have died of thirst every day..."
Thinking of the shriveled corpses of the people, Jian Guangqi couldn't help but redden his eyes.
Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable. If there is a shortage of food, everyone can save money and wait for relief food from the court.
But there is no way to deal with the lack of water, and this situation is not unique to Fire City.
Previously, the army sent people to the neighboring Bailong City to borrow water, but the situation in Bailong City was not much better than that in Miehuo City.
Moreover, people from Bailong City also borrowed water from the neighboring Fanjing City, which was also short of water.
Without water, people can’t eat food.
My throat felt like it was being stabbed by a knife, it was dry and stiff, and I couldn't eat any dry food at all.
Otherwise, how could there still be some surplus food in the granary after the disaster lasted so long? I really can't swallow it.
Shen Yong glanced at everyone and smiled slightly.
"This king has gained the trust of heaven, and has been granted unlimited water."
“Ahhhhh!!!”
As soon as Shen Yong finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
They couldn't help but look at each other excitedly, and couldn't help but discuss in a low voice,
"Oh my god! Did I hear that right? Infinite water source!?"
"I heard that too. Now that the water problem has been solved, food isn't a problem at all."
"Oh my god, I haven't had a good drink of water in a long time. When will this unlimited water source appear..."
"Yes, where is the water source?"
“…”
Having said this, everyone looked at Shen Yong with anticipation.
Military Advisor Jian Guangqi's dry lips trembled with excitement.
"King Qianhuang---if he can solve Qianhuang City's water problem, he will be the reborn parent of everyone in Qianhuang City!!!"
It wasn't just the civilians who died of thirst, there were also many soldiers in the army.
The older soldiers in the army were reluctant to drink the small amount of water they were given each day, saving it for the younger ones. After a few days, they could no longer hold on and passed away...
Those old soldiers have defended the Fire City for countless years, repelling the enemy's invasion time and time again.
Those people were heroes of the great Celestial Empire, but in the end they died of thirst because they had no water to drink.
He felt extremely sad when he saw the old soldiers dying of thirst.
We have been together day and night for so long, it's no different from the death of a relative.
Deng Yushan looked at Shen Yong in disbelief.
Is this guy really a human?
Food is provided generously and water supply can also be solved. This is something that humans can do.
No wonder God bestowed upon him the title of King Qianhuang, he truly deserves the title.
Chen Yong solved the two most scarce things in years of natural disasters - food and water.
That damn guy can attack wherever he wants, and Emperor Tianwu doesn't need to take him seriously at all.
Thinking of this, Deng Yushan became even more excited.
He looked at Shen Yong eagerly, and he had to seize this opportunity to follow the dragon.
God has fed the food into his mouth, he can't be so stupid as to spit it out.
Deng Yushan looked at Shen Yong eagerly, hoping that Shen Yong would fulfill his words.
