Chapter 433 Observe More Carefully
Shen Huaichen had a lot of eggs brought over from Da Yu.
Then the city lords took them back.
What's the point of taking it back?
Of course, it should be given to the helpers!
"The helpers all come from poor backgrounds and don't eat very well."
This is a special time, so we must make sure everyone takes good care of their health and eats well.
Therefore, it was the responsibility of each city lord to distribute two eggs daily to those working at the trading posts in their respective cities.
The people sent by the city lords loudly explained the contents of the newly posted notice to everyone.
Everyone listened!
Hey! Eggs! That's good stuff!
Although the laborers were able to eat their fill, most of their meals consisted of steamed buns or cornbread.
As for eggs...
That was expensive food; perhaps the wealthy could afford it, but these laborers certainly couldn't eat it often.
If you can eat one or two of those a month... that's considered very good.
So the workers were very happy when the notice was posted.
"The city lords are probably thinking about having enough to eat so that everyone can do their best when the big battle begins."
"That's right! How can we help if everyone is hungry?"
Two eggs a day, that's quite a lot!
"That's right, I'll go pick it up tomorrow and take it home for my child to eat."
I just don't know how many days I can keep these eggs.
"I wish we could receive eggs every day."
"That won't do. Getting eggs every day? There's no such thing as a free lunch."
This kind of message can only be sent when there is war.
I'd rather not eat eggs than have war.
......
The vast majority of the helpers were happy; getting eggs was better than not getting any.
It's still free.
In reality, they weren't given eggs, but when the war started, they still had to do all the work they were supposed to do.
So... let's sing praises to the city lords for their loving dedication!
And those spies hidden among the laborers had no choice but to go along to collect it.
They look down on those few eggs, but since you're already a helper, why should you look down on them?
Why would you want to be a helper?
These spies quickly understood the schemes of those incompetent city lords.
Haha, they're probably thinking of seeing which helpers aren't collecting their eggs, and then arresting all the helpers who aren't collecting their eggs.
The spies all chuckled coldly.
Unexpectedly, those incompetent city lords who only think about making money actually came up with such a method.
Haha, looks like someone gave you some pointers!
But... a fool is a fool, and he's no match for these intelligent spies.
If they didn't have some brains, how could they have managed to infiltrate the border town?
How could it not have been noticed by everyone!
Therefore... those incompetent city lords were destined to miscalculate.
The undercover agents, disguised as laborers, also decided to go and collect the eggs.
Not only did they have to collect eggs, but they also had to flatter the city lord and the young prince, just like the other helpers.
And so, after two days of screening the merchants, the entire border town began distributing eggs to the poor laborers again.
......
On the first day of distributing eggs, all the helpers lined up as soon as they finished work.
Everyone was looking at the eggs that had already been cooked, and there were several large baskets of them.
Everyone stared longingly at the eggs.
We've finally tasted meat! At least this can be considered a meat dish!
In order to maintain order, the defense commissions of various cities also sent people over.
The people in charge of distributing the eggs were mostly elderly, with kind faces.
The helpers stepped forward one by one, each patiently waiting for the old man to give them eggs.
The old man's kind smile never stopped.
Although he was a bit slow, everyone waited patiently.
The old man handed out eggs to everyone while chatting with them.
For example, has he gotten married?
How many kids are there in your family? Is your mother still alive? Is it hard work for you?
Did the shop owner withhold wages?
Oh, and they'll remind you every now and then that there will be eggs tomorrow, so you must come.
The city lords are understanding of everyone...
Everyone spoke to the old man with great respect.
It's just in a place that no one knows about.
Whenever an old person says to someone, "There will be eggs tomorrow," that's when they'll definitely come.
As soon as the helpers who had just received the eggs from him left the scene, two people would follow them...
After the first day of distributing eggs, fifteen spies were captured in Sahara City alone, where Shen Huaichen was located.
An overnight interrogation confirmed that the identity was accurate.
In other border towns, they also captured quite a few.
When Shen Qingming found out, he quickly pulled Shen Huaichen aside and asked how they had managed to identify the spies.
"Kid, you're still young, there are many things you don't know."
"Just observe a little more and you'll see what subtle observation means; it's useful at any time." Shen Huaichen tapped Shen Qingming on the forehead.
Shen Qingming was taken aback.
Someone actually dared to tap him on the head...
When I was little, only my father would jokingly tap me on the forehead...
