This crazy water-sprinkling activity lasted the entire afternoon.
Shen Yong didn't stop the rain until the sky turned dark.
At this time, the water he bought had not been spread out yet, and there were still nearly 10,000 tons of water left.
However, the water in the ditches on both sides of the official road was already knee-deep.
Chen Yong looked at the muddy road at the city gate that was soaked by water and frowned slightly.
"Prince Qianhuang, the prefectural office has been tidied up. I have ordered the preparation of food to welcome you, Prince Qianhuang!"
Deng Yushan walked to Shen Yong very respectfully, looked at Shen Yong's frown, and said cautiously.
He watched the rain at the city gate for more than an hour, which made him feel very emotional.
This person is truly a living god.
Shen Yong glanced at Deng Yushan, then turned to look at the refugees reluctantly leaving the city gate, his eyes falling on the muddy road.
"Find someone to repair the road at the city gate..."
This kind of road surface reminds him of his childhood in the village.
Whenever it rains in the village, it becomes impossible to move around on a 28-inch bicycle.
The wheels of the car were covered with the mud of Sibala.
A 50-pound child will weigh at least 80 pounds after walking a circle.
Deng Yushan looked at Shen Yong in a daze, and followed Shen Yong's gaze towards the city gate.
Indeed, the road now looks a little bit-----not quite like a road.
But as long as there is some sunshine tomorrow, it will dry up and won’t be so muddy anymore.
"Yes, I will immediately arrange for someone to clean up the road."
Shen Yong turned his head to look at Deng Yushan, "It's not tidying up, it's rebuilding the road."
"The city and its surroundings need to be rebuilt. Tell the officials in charge of the road construction to come to the prefectural government office tonight and tomorrow morning."
If you want to be rich, you must first build roads.
Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. He first took care of the people in Qianhuang City, reinforced the city gate tower, and made comprehensive defenses before attacking the capital.
It’s impossible that he would attack the capital and get defeated by the Fire Phoenix Kingdom.
He had to first deal a heavy blow to the Fire Phoenix Nation, so that they would not dare to harass Qianhuang City easily.
Only then could he attack the capital.
Deng Yushan looked at Chen Yong steadily, his eyes shining brightly.
"Yes, I will notify them immediately."
From what he heard from Shen Yong, he realized that he wanted to rebuild Qianhuang City.
Oh, that's a good thing.
Qianhuang City has been at war for many years and has long been in ruins.
They were already having a headache dealing with the harassment from Fire Phoenix City, so how could they have the time to build Qianhuang City?
However, if Chen Yong wants to build it, then there will definitely be no problem.
He only needed to think about the magical object at the parade ground and Chen Yong's ability to control rainwater at will. Building a city would be just a matter of sprinkling water...
.......
"Welcome King Qianhuang..."
"Long live the Qianhuang King..."
As soon as Chen Yong stepped into the prefectural government office, the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time knelt down in unison.
There were hundreds of soldiers filling the yard, their voices were loud and the scene was spectacular.
Old Madam Shen brought her six daughters-in-law and stood at the door of the main hall, looking at Shen Yong with smiles on their faces.
Shen Yong paused for a moment and looked around.
I saw that the main hall and courtyard of the prefectural government office were filled with tables and chairs.
On dozens of large round tables, there were two pitiful plates of food, one was a multi-grain steamed bun and the other was a bowl of dumpling soup.
"No need to be polite!"
Shen Yong curled his lips into a smile and walked towards the main hall.
When he saw the food placed in the main hall, the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
The food on the main table in the main hall was a little richer, with four plates of food.
There was a plate of multi-grain steamed buns, a plate of white flour steamed buns, a bowl of thin porridge that you could scoop out a few grains of rice by rolling up your trouser legs, and a dumpling soup with scattered chopped green onions.
Deng Yushan followed behind Shen Yong and looked at Shen Yong's embarrassed explanation.
"It's just a simple meal, don't mind, King Qianhuang."
"Qianhuang City has been suffering from drought for too long, and there's really nothing to eat..."
To be honest, he didn't dare to think about these foods before this morning.
All these things require water, and what Qianhuang City lacks most is water.
If King Qianhuang had not provided water to Qianhuang City today, he would not have been able to cook these meals.
"Why mind? The people don't want to eat these. This is already the best food."
Chen Yong glanced at Deng Yushan indifferently and sat down in the main seat without any concern.
"Everyone is tired after a day, sit down and eat!"
At Shen Yong's command, all the soldiers happily sat down.
There was no wine or food, only staple food, but everyone felt like they were enjoying delicacies from land and sea.
Some soldiers couldn't help crying after drinking a mouthful of the dumpling soup.
It is such a blessing to be able to eat a meal with lots of soup.
After the meal, the soldiers wiped the bowls and pots on the tables with their multi-grain steamed buns...
........
"King Qianhuang, there are too many people signing up to join the army. Isn't the salary too high?"
Military advisor Jian Guangqi frowned as he watched more and more people coming to sign up for the army.
The streets and alleys of the entire Qianhuang City were crowded with people who signed up to join the army.
The people from the villages surrounding Qianhuang City all rushed over, and even the people from the surrounding areas under the jurisdiction of the neighboring Bailong City rushed over after hearing the news.
He took a quick look and found that if all the recruits in this recruitment were included, there would be at least 100,000 new soldiers.
Chen Yong's eyes slowly swept over the people pouring into the city, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, outlining a faint smile.
"If the salaries the court pays its officials are so meager that ordinary people can barely support themselves and their families, how can we expect them to willingly join the army?"
After saying this, he paused for a moment, then continued,
"Only when every small family can be properly taken care of and live a stable and worry-free life can those men who serve as soldiers focus on fighting the enemy without having to worry about the livelihood of the elderly and children at home all day long."
Jian Guangqi, who had been standing by and listening quietly, was stunned when he heard this.
He stared at Chen Yong with wide eyes and astonishment, his lips slightly parted, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.
After a long while, he finally managed to stammer out a few words.
"But...but this requires so much grain, oil, rice and flour..."
You know, this is not a small amount of money!
It is extremely difficult for any place to provide so many supplies at once.
Since ancient times, there have been many generals who love their soldiers like their own sons, but a prince like Shen Yong who cares about both his soldiers and the people is extremely rare.
However, faced with such a huge expenditure, Jian Guangqi couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that God would really indulge and favor this King Qianhuang so endlessly?
