"No wonder, no wonder..."
He murmured.
"No wonder you can produce so many things that are ahead of their time; it turns out you have so many like-minded people..."
"This is their factory..."
At that moment, the sense of superiority he felt as a transmigrator shattered completely.
He always believed himself to be the chosen one, possessing knowledge and insights ahead of his time.
Having come to this backward world, one should naturally command the winds and rains and accomplish great things.
But now it seems that he is just one in several thousand, or even one in tens of thousands, perhaps an insignificant one.
And the mountain goddess he had never met before was actually able to gather so many transmigrators with different abilities.
How can we get them to willingly set up factories and benefit the local people?
What a display of courage and skill!
Liu Mingyuan took a deep breath, feeling a tightness in his chest.
His previous prejudices and doubts about the mountain god now seemed so ridiculous.
Magistrate Liu, looking somewhat dejected, let go of the cart shaft, silently turned around, and returned to the end of the long grain-buying queue.
This time, however, his eyes held less scrutiny and doubt, and more bewilderment and awe.
He was too arrogant and conceited before!
…
Meanwhile, on the other side...
The caravan led by the time traveler Zhang Jing also arrived near their destination, a plain at the border of Danzhou and Yanzhou.
However, as soon as they arrived, they heard deafening shouts of battle.
"Kill them!"
"Charge! Take Yanzhou!"
"For His Majesty! Reclaim our land!"
Dust flew, and swords clashed.
Nearly 10,000 soldiers, clad in tattered armor but still in high spirits, are engaged in fierce combat with another army that is significantly better equipped and larger in number.
Zhang Jing reined in her horse and gazed into the distance.
A young believer next to her asked nervously, "Sister Zhang Jing, it looks like there's a battle going on up ahead!"
Zhang Jing nodded calmly.
"Hmm, judging from the banners, one side is the Chen family army, and the other side should be the remnants of Emperor Liang's forces."
Chen's Army is a force that combines extraordinary individuals with ordinary soldiers. In a short period of time, it has grown into a considerable force.
The power of Emperor Liang had been gradually declining since Emperor Liang and Prince Sui disappeared, but unexpectedly, they were able to organize a decent resistance here.
The battle was fierce, with blood and flesh flying everywhere and deafening shouts of battle.
However, the caravan led by Zhang Jing, including the believers and their guards, showed no fear whatsoever when they saw the bloody battlefield.
They simply waited quietly for Zhang Jing's orders.
Zhang Jing watched for a while, then looked away and spoke calmly to the believers behind her.
"The battlefield is none of our business."
"Our mission is to sell these cheap goods to the people and, incidentally, help some of the suffering people."
She pointed to the edge of the battlefield in the distance, to the shadowy villages that seemed to be fleeing.
"Let's go to the neighborhood and find some local people."
