Shiquan City is suffering from a dire water shortage. Food is no longer the top priority; water is the lifeblood of the people.
When the news of the rain from heaven came to Pinghe City, the people of Shiquan City were extremely excited.
If it rains in the south of the Yangtze River, it is too far away, so they can only envy with their cracked lips.
But now it is raining in Pinghe City and the neighboring city, they can just grit their teeth and get through.
They can even get water without entering Pinghe City.
It was raining heavily in Pinghe City, and they could hear the roar of lightning and thunder even from far away.
I thought it would be just thunder without rain like before, but who knew that with the God King in charge of Pinghe City, rain really came from the sky.
Who can bear this? If you can survive by going to Pinghe City, you must go there quickly.
"Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!"
The lawyer stood on the city gate tower, looking at the noisy people blocking the city gate, his brows furrowed.
With so many people surrounding him, he couldn't even get down from the city wall.
If there were no gate guards with swords at the city gate, these people would probably have simply broken open the gate and run away.
When the people heard the sound coming from the city gate tower, they looked up at the lawyer, who was still sobbing and howling.
Due to not having water for a long time, their throats became hoarse and they couldn't hold their voices after shouting a few times.
The lawyer frowned and glanced at the skinny people one by one.
"The Emperor has already sent troops to Shiquan City. They will arrive in two days. Everyone, just hold on."
"Since ancient times, rebels have never had a good end. Once the emperor sends troops to suppress the rebels, all the water will naturally be ours..."
After saying these words, the lawyer felt very guilty.
He even suspected that the soldier who rode the donkey to deliver the letter was exhausted or starved to death.
After all, there was a drought all along the way, and there was nothing to eat or drink. It was the first time in history that they had to travel 800 miles in a hurry on a donkey.
He hadn't seen any news from the capital for such a long time that he had begun to lose hope.
Even though we think so, the people still need to be appeased.
"Some water has come out of the well in the prefectural yamen today. You should go and line up now. If you are late, it will be gone."
The lawyer looked at the people who refused to leave and brought out another bargaining chip.
This was not a lie he made up. The well in the prefectural government office was the deepest well in Shiquan City.
Perhaps it was because the rain in Pinghe City was particularly heavy, so the well in the Shiquan City prefectural government office also benefited from it.
But there was not much water, barely enough for the people to wet their lips.
When the people heard that the prefectural government had supplied water, they all stumbled and ran towards the government office.
You pushed me and I ran, and many people fell to the ground, screaming and stretching their necks.
The master looked so anxious,
"Hurry up and maintain order. Don't let them get trampled to death."
The yamen runners went down and shouted a few times with a ferocious look, stopping the people from pushing and shoving.
Fortunately, the city gate was spacious and no stampede occurred.
After watching the people disperse from the city gate, the lawyer wiped his sweat nervously.
He turned and looked in the direction of Peace City.
On the bumpy road, you can still see people rushing towards Pinghe City.
He was very conflicted.
That is, they hope that the Heavenly God Army will arrive soon to solve the drought problem in Shiquan City.
He was also afraid that after the Tianshen Army attacked, Governor Tong would not surrender and would choose to fight head-on.
I'm afraid then-----
.......
"Of course, this is the list of newly recruited soldiers in Pinghe City."
The sky was getting dark, Xiao Yunzhan took a thick list and placed it in front of Lin Yiran.
"I've seen 60,000 new soldiers, and they're mostly young and strong."
"Adding the more than 20,000 soldiers defending Pinghe City, the number of Heavenly God Soldiers now stands at 380,000."
The drought lasted for so long, and under the management of Li Zhifu, Pinghe City had a population of very elderly people who did not survive, and almost no young people died from the drought.
As soon as it rained in Pingliang City, Magistrate Li immediately notified all the people in the city to fetch water so that they could recover.
Lin Yiran casually flipped through the roster and nodded.
"Then get another 90,000 sets of camouflage uniforms to standardize the uniforms."
"Many people from Shiquan City have come to seek refuge today. We must take over Shiquan City as soon as possible."
When Lin Yiran heard that the Heavenly God Army had grown stronger, his first reaction was that the balance would have to be reduced again.
This time another nine million is gone.
I bought so many camouflage uniforms from the same store and I insisted that the store give me 5,000 sets of camouflage uniforms.
The weather is getting colder, and the Tianshen Army can't just have this one set of camouflage uniforms. They have to get two sets to change into.
In winter, the soldiers had to be provided with military coats, cotton trousers, and boots...
And the most expensive quilt.
This requires a lot of money!
We can't expect them to produce these things on their own. Where would they get the cotton in years of famine?
She has so many warehouses, and she also has quilts, cotton clothes and other things.
But those are antiques. Once the mall is opened for trading, they can be sold there. The money from selling an antique cotton-padded jacket can be used to buy winter clothes for thousands of soldiers.
With this calculation, those antiques in the space must not be taken out and wasted.
It is more cost-effective to buy some daily necessities in the takeaway mall.
