"You can't do that..." Taoist Chang Ye quickly stepped aside, not daring to accept Madam Shen's greeting.
Making trouble!
This will be the empress dowager in the future, how can he accept the empress dowager's gift?
Chen Yong looked at Taoist Chang Ye seriously.
"I'll leave this matter to Taoist Chang Ye. If you need anything, just tell me."
Taoist Chang Ye nodded, "Okay!"
........
"Recruiting soldiers!? The army is recruiting soldiers, they don't want us to live!"
"What? Did I hear correctly? Each person gets 20 kilograms of rice, 20 kilograms of brown rice, 20 kilograms of white flour, one kilogram of salt, five kilograms of rapeseed oil, and five kilograms of pork every month!?"
"I heard it too. Can it be true?"
"But, Fire Extinguishing City..."
"Don't talk nonsense. This is Qianhuang City now. I heard that these salaries were requested by King Qianhuang..."
“…”
A group of skinny civilians, hunched over, listened weakly to the soldiers shouting along the street.
They whispered to each other with puzzled expressions.
Even in good years, soldiers' salaries were not that high.
The drought is so severe now, and they feel like it's a scam to suddenly give them so many things.
I'm afraid it's just the new official bragging about it.
Not long after the recruiters left, another group of soldiers shouted excitedly.
"Everyone, listen carefully. King Qianhuang is blessed by heaven and has been blessed with abundant water resources."
"In the afternoon, everyone should go to the parade grounds with buckets to line up for water. No crowding!"
"Those causing trouble will not be allowed to collect water..."
“…”
The people looked at the soldiers in shock as they shouted and walked away.
A moment later, the crowd exploded.
"There's water!? Did I hear that correctly?"
"I heard it too. They asked us to carry buckets. How could there be so much water?"
"Oh my God, we've suffered for so long, are good days finally coming?"
"Hurry, go back and get your buckets and line up. Don't you see that everyone else has already gone to the parade ground with their buckets..."
“…”
The people who were originally shocked, sighing and excited to the point of crying, heard that some people had already lined up, and they immediately dispersed and ran home.
The attraction of this water is more attractive than the generous conditions offered for recruiting soldiers.
Of course, if they could really get water, they would definitely sign up to join the army.
Now that the water problem has been solved, what they lack most is food.
This time, King Qianhuang helped them solve all the problems in one go.
Soon, all the people in the city rushed to the parade ground.
The streets were filled with people queuing up with dry buckets of water.
The streets were lined with soldiers maintaining order...
.....
Ji Yongjia, who had been guarding the plane, was suddenly shocked to see so many people rushing towards the parade ground.
He immediately raised the crossbow in his hand and aimed it at the crowd rushing towards him.
"Stop! Don't get close to the sacred object! If you dare to get any closer, I'll shoot you immediately!"
Ji Yongjia looked at the dense crowd that seemed to have no end, and felt a chill in his heart.
What’s going on? Are these people crazy? Are they trying to steal the plane?
The 20 golden-armored soldiers who followed Ji Yongjia to guard the plane also aimed their crossbows at the crowd rushing over.
Jiang Daqiang, the general of the Zhen army, who was leading the people to line up, saw the alert golden armored soldiers and immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
"Stop! Don't come any closer. Line up here."
The people, their faces full of longing, immediately stopped and obediently stared at the huge divine object in front of them, holding the buckets.
Oh my God, this is the magical creature that has been flying over the Fire City for a long time.
No wonder it is said that King Qianhuang has a water source. God has given him a divine object, so water is nothing to him.
After Jiang Daqiang saw that all the people had stopped, he turned around and shouted to Ji Yongjia,
"We are one of them. King Qianhuang asked the people to come and line up."
But King Qianhuang said that the people should line up in the afternoon.
It's not even noon yet, but the people can't wait any longer and have all lined up.
Ji Yongjia frowned slightly and slowly put down the crossbow in his hand.
"What is this for?"
Could it be that Chen Yong wanted the people to see the magical object and feel the power of the plane?
But---there are so many people, there won't be enough space in the plane, right?
Jiang Daqiang bared his teeth, looked at the divine object with a smile on his face, and strode towards Ji Yongjia.
"King Qianhuang will distribute water to the people of the city this afternoon."
"Flooding!?" Ji Yongjia looked at Jiang Daqiang in surprise.
There is indeed water in the plane, but if people from all over the city come to collect the water, how long will it take to distribute it?
As for whether there is a constant supply of water in the plane, he is not sure.
Jiang Daqiang smiled and nodded, scanning the plane with excitement.
"Yes, King Qianhuang is truly a god."
Ji Yongjia's mouth twitched twice, "Of course."
Isn’t Chen Yong a god? Along the way, all kinds of things they have never seen before appeared one after another.
He originally thought that it was provided by the Shen family's secret followers.
It wasn't until the airplane appeared that he realized that no one else could make this thing except God-given one.
They tried, but hundreds of people lifted the plane's wheels and couldn't lift it.
The sudden appearance of the plane on the top of the mountain could only be a gift from heaven.
Jiang Daqiang retracted his gaze, glanced at Ji Yongjia, and his eyes fell on the crossbow in his hand.
"The crossbow in your hand looks unusual..."
If such excellent crossbows were equipped to tens of thousands of crossbowmen in the army, they would be invincible.
Ji Yongjia raised his eyebrows and glanced at Jiang Daqiang.
"Dear, this is a treasure from heaven. How can it be compared to ordinary crossbows..."
When Jiang Daqiang heard that it was a heaven-sent crossbow, his eyes became even more fiery...
......
The people who were less than ten meters away from the plane were all looking at Jiang Daqiang in confusion as he stared at the crossbow and asked questions non-stop.
Since they had nothing else to do, they just stared at the sacred object...
They only saw the divine creature flying in the sky, but they hadn't seen what it looked like up close...
The military training ground at this time...
From a distance, it appears to be divided into two parts.
A small portion of the crowd was filled with civilians, like little ants, lining up from the parade grounds to the streets, and many more were constantly arriving...
Most of the space was occupied by airplanes, leaving a large empty area around it. It looked like a group of ants staring at a big, fragrant steamed bun, ready to rush in and take a bite at any moment...
