Chapter 241 The food problem needs to be solved



"No need to be polite!"

Xiao Yunzhan smiled helplessly and raised his hand.

Or maybe it is said that kings are all lonely people, and everyone will feel distant from them.

"Thank you, King Yongchang!"

Chang Sun Dongcai patted his sleeves and stood up, looking at Xiao Yunzhan with a smile.

"Reporting to Prince Yongchang, this morning, Lord Tian and I went to see several rivers and wells in Brahma City. They are all filled with water, and some of the shallower wells are already half full."

"It seems that the rain yesterday was quite heavy."

Magistrate Tian nodded and echoed,

"The people were all overjoyed and kept thanking the God King."

"Everyone got caught in the rain yesterday, but surprisingly, no one caught a cold today. It's truly the nectar sent down by the God King, nourishing all things..."

Governor Tian's gratitude to the God King was beyond words.

Yesterday, his old mother, who was very old, was soaked in the rain for three hours, which made him very worried.

There are no medicinal herbs to be found in Brahma City right now. If you get infected with typhoid fever, you might not be able to survive.

Who knew that after worrying all night, he woke up in the morning to see his mother drawing water from the well in high spirits.

She said she wouldn't let the servants fetch water and insisted on fetching the first bucket of water herself.

"Yes." Chang Sun Dongcai was also surprised. "There are so many people in the military camp, and not a single one is cold."

"I haven't heard of any civilians contracting typhoid fever on the road. This is truly unprecedented. The God King is mighty!"

In the past, no matter how light the rain was, there would always be people who would catch a cold after getting caught in the rain.

This time, hundreds of thousands of people in the city were caught in the rain, but no one caught a cold. This is truly something that will go down in history.

Lin Yiran raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. The pill that was immune to all poisons was really effective.

Diluting two pills and giving them to everyone in the city to drink can surprisingly improve everyone's physical fitness.

She saw it all. When the rain stopped, those people were so cold that their faces were pale and they were shivering all over.

Anyone who sees this will feel like they are bound to catch a cold.

Xiao Yunzhan smiled slightly and glanced at Lin Yiran.

It was obvious that the plague-eliminating magic water that Lin Yiran gave to the entire city to drink the day before yesterday had taken effect.

Their whole family has not been sick since they drank that water.

Lin Yiran made thoughtful arrangements and let the whole city drink the plague-eliminating water a day in advance.

It rained for three hours, but no one was cold.

Now, no one in the city can match the worship of the God-King with such intensity.

Anyone who speaks out against the God King at this time would probably die without knowing how.

"Indeed, everyone can see the Divine King's love for his people."

"The water problem has been solved. Now we need to solve the food problem."

Chang Sun Dongcai and Prefect Tian looked at each other. The purpose of their trip was also to discuss the issue of food.

"There are still 1,300 kilograms of food in the barracks, all of which is barley. This food was squeezed out by Lord Tian from the prefect's granary. Currently, it is only enough for the entire barracks for one day."

Speaking of food, Chang Sun Dongcai's brows immediately furrowed.

Water solved the problem, but drinking water alone wouldn’t be enough.

The barley porridge the soldiers drank in the morning was so thin that the bottom was clear. How could they have the strength to do that?

The smile on Magistrate Tian's face disappeared, and he sighed.

"There's only 320 kilograms of barley left in the prefectural government's granary. Even the porridge we give out isn't enough for the people of the city. It's a difficult situation."

If he had known he was going to rebel, he would not have paid the taxes collected by the court in the first half of the year.

Fortunately, when the court came to collect taxes last month, he did not pay a single grain of grain, otherwise he would not have lived to see Prince Yongchang return.

Even so, the food supply in the whole city is now pitifully small.

Xiao Yunzhan pointed to a bag of grain on the table.

"Come and see what this is?"

After the rain stopped yesterday, Lin Yiran discussed the food issue with him.

There are artificial rain-making rocket launchers and Taoist priests in Brahma City. If we want it to rain, it can rain at any time.

Now that the water problem has been solved, the food problem must also be solved as soon as possible.

Lin Yiran took out food that had never been seen in Daliang Kingdom. It was enough to fill one’s stomach and was suitable for growing in the weather in the northwest.

The key is that it does not require that much water and is easy to plant.

Chang Sun Dongcai and Tian Zhifu looked at each other in confusion and hurried to the table.

"What is this—what is it?"

Prefect Tian frowned slightly, grabbed a handful of grains from the bag that were hard like beans but not as round as beans, and looked at them carefully.

He had never seen this thing before, and he was sure that other countries didn't have it either.

Daliang State had fought wars with several surrounding countries, but had never seen this kind of grain.

Chang Sun Dongcai was also confused. He picked up a pill, put it in his mouth, and started chewing it with a crunching sound.

When Magistrate Tian saw Chang Sun Dongcai chewing with difficulty and grinning, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​tasting it.

His teeth are not as good as Chang Sun Dongcai's. If his teeth are broken by such hard food, it will be bad.

All the members of the Xiao family looked at Changsun Dongcai with smiles on their faces, waiting for him to tell them about his feelings after tasting the food.
