…
The soldiers were talking while hitting bricks.
Two hours later, the streets leading to the General's Mansion were lined with piles of red bricks on both sides.
There were too many of them, a total of three million pieces, and the general’s mansion could not hold them all, so they could only be neatly stacked on both sides of the road.
Many people came out to see after hearing the news. They were all amazed to see the piles of bricks and stones that were more than a person's height.
"I heard that the Tan family army is going to build houses for us."
"Is this the red brick used to build our house?"
“That’s wonderful.”
"These red bricks are much stronger than the adobe we make from earth."
The adobe bricks used before were made by placing mud in a wooden frame, tamping it down, and then drying it into lumps of earth.
There have been severe droughts for years now, and there is no drinking water. Where is the water to make mud and adobe bricks?
The walls of the house were damaged and could not be repaired, so we had no choice but to live in it.
Even if we can make adobe, it won’t be as good as these red bricks in front of us.
An old man was holding a red brick, his whole body shaking with excitement.
"I've never seen anything this good in my life. If I had this earlier, my grandson wouldn't have been crushed to death."
Another old man heard this and said with red eyes:
"With red bricks, we no longer have to sleep in dilapidated houses and live in fear."
"Yes! From now on, the children will have a safe place to grow up, and they don't have to worry about the house collapsing at any time."
The woman next to her held her child's hand, wiped her tears, and said excitedly: "We can finally have a stable home."
"The Tan family army helped us repel the enemy, gave us water and food, and now they want to build us a house!"
"The Tan family army will always be our benefactor!"
"When we build the house, everyone will participate and those who can contribute..."
…
“Is this cement?”
"Why are they in bags?"
"This is really good stuff, it's amazing. Mixed with sand, it dries stronger than red bricks. There are fifteen thousand bags in total."
"There are other supplies coming in, so hurry up and move them. If you get tired, replace them."
"Not tired."
"We are willing to do this even if we are tired."
…
Inside the general's mansion, everyone was busy.
…
Tianshui City, Xue Mansion.
Long Feng was tied up and pressed to the ground.
"Xue Bang, you shameless man, actually colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed the people of the entire city. Can you be worthy of your ancestors?"
"Have you forgotten the oath you swore when you became the head coach?"
"You completely disregard the lives of the people. You are a completely despicable villain..."
Long Feng struggled hard, cursing and denouncing Xue Bang's evil deeds.
"I didn't treat the people as human beings, but I didn't treat you as a non-human being."
Xue Bang, who was in his forties, glared with anger.
"I promoted you to general and held you in such high regard, yet you turned against me for those damned people!"
"They are secretly communicating with the Tan family army and are planning to attack Tianshui City."
"Do you think you'll have a good ending if you betray me?"
"Report."
At this time, a small leader came in.
"The spies reported that the Tan family army was moving supplies and showed no signs of attacking us."
"Hahaha……"
Xue Pin laughed out loud,
"Long Feng, do you think you can change all this with just your passion? That's simply wishful thinking."
"Betray me..." Xue Bang's face turned grim.
"It's like courting death!"
