He Shen's face turned rosy instantly, and the fatigue of working all night disappeared. Being able to manage a city was the first step towards his own ambition.
Cheng Dalei gave him an encouraging look and asked, "How is the inventory of supplies going?"
"Your Majesty, weapons and ships are a trivial matter. The key is food. With this batch of food, the urgent need will be solved. Shuofang City can at least survive until this year's autumn harvest."
Cheng Dalei nodded and said: "Don't be too careless. The population of Shuofang City will not be limited to the present. As refugees continue to move in, the population will increase, and the food consumed will inevitably increase. We still need to let
Shuofang City can be self-sufficient. By the way, how is the land reclamation going?"
"The canals have been dug, and the previously abandoned farmland has been sown."
Cheng Dalei stood up: "Okay, I'll go take a look."
"I'll go with the headmaster." He Shen said immediately.
"Hey, I've had a hard night with the adults, so I'd better take a good rest. I'll just go and see for myself."
Cheng Dalei walked out of the city lord's mansion alone and saw a busy scene in the city. They were repairing the city, and many collapsed houses needed to be cleared away. At present, Shuofang City still has few rooms. The original Shuofang City could accommodate a population of 300,000, but it is currently unable to accommodate a population of 300,000.
Less than one tenth.
He walked out of the city gate and came to the farmland outside the city. It was cleaner here. After sowing, everyone waited for the seeds to be unearthed, then weeded and fertilized and many other things. After a year of busy work, they could harvest some pitiful things in the autumn.
of food.
Cheng Dalei took a deep breath and used the skill rewarded by the system. The accelerated crop growth skill rewarded by the system, Cheng Dalei only waited to use it now.
There were not many changes before his eyes. The scene where the white light flashed and the seeds grew slowly that Cheng Dalei expected did not appear.
I have to say that Cheng Dalei felt a little disappointed at this moment.
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his face. He raised his head and saw that the sky was covered with thick clouds, and thin and mysterious raindrops were falling in layers.
A spring rain is coming.
Cheng Dalei immediately turned around and ran towards the city, but his shoulders were still wet from the rain when he finally ran into the city gate.
He and a few veterans were hiding from the rain under the city gate. They saw that the sky was so dark that it was suffocating. The veteran guarding the gate did not recognize Cheng Dalei at first and gathered together to chat.
Cheng Dalei stared at the rain curtain outside. With this spring rain, Shuofang City has improved to some extent. He can mobilize Guan Yu's Yu Zi Army. Guan Yu and He Shen, one good and one evil, just restrain each other.
Thinking of this, Cheng Dalei let out a long sigh: Now that things have happened, these people can be regarded as self-taught without a teacher.
Du, received the task: Expand the population of Shuofang City to 100,000.
Toot, received the task: repair the dilapidated city.
At this time, Cheng Dalei received two system tasks. The task of expanding the population was not something that could be accomplished in a day. However, the team that cleared Cheng Dalei's reputation had dispersed. As long as Shuofang City slowly develops, there is no need to worry about the refugees moving in. Everything will be done.
Just a matter of time.
The work of repairing the city has been ongoing, but it will not take too long.
Therefore, these two tasks will be completed sooner or later without Cheng Dalei working hard.
At this moment, several veterans recognized Cheng Dalei, but they did not expect to take shelter from the rain with everyone. They all knelt down in panic: "Master..."
Cheng Dalei waved his hand to let them get up, but everyone was extremely excited. Toad City now has more than 30,000 troops, and Cheng Dalei can't guarantee that he has seen everyone. There are many people in Toad City who don't know him, so Cheng Dalei not only has a good reputation outside
It's terrible, and it's not very nice inside Toad City either.
Cheng Dalei was also a little embarrassed and went back to the City Lord's Mansion in the rain, thinking that if things here got on track, he could go back to Toad City.
Just at this time, there was the sound of rapid horse hooves in the rain, and Liu Facai came in on a fast horse wearing a raincoat. When he arrived at the gate of the city lord's palace, he jumped off the horse and strode into the city without tying the horse.
Main Mansion.
Cheng Dalei was watching the rain in the flower hall. When he saw him coming over in a hurry, he felt a little strange.
"Master, something happened."
"What's up?"
Liu Facai walked into the flower hall, wiped the rain off his face, and said, "The East China Sea is rebelling."
Cheng Dalei frowned: "Don't worry, tell me slowly, who rebelled in the East China Sea?"
The East China Sea is the home of poetry, calligraphy, etiquette and music. Cheng Dalei had a hard time in Langya City last year. Only after listening to Liu Facai's words did Cheng Dalei understand what happened.
The rebels were not the King of the East China Sea, but a group of bandits. Under the banner of the Righteous Cult, they gathered tens of thousands of people in Xuzhou and burned, killed and looted all over the East China Sea, but the officers and soldiers were unable to effectively stop them.
Now they have occupied Langya City and established themselves as kings.
Although this was the first time this happened, it was bound to happen sooner or later. Cheng Dalei didn't find it too strange. He asked, "Who is their leader? Is there any news?"
"My name is Liu Dingtian. It is said that he was originally a group of pirates at sea. The specific information has not been found out yet."
Donghai and Liangzhou are too far apart, so there is really no accurate information. He nodded: "If you go against it, then go against it, but I don't know how much trouble they will cause. Is this why you came here in a hurry?"
"Doctor Hua's family...is afraid that they will suffer in this incident..." Liu Facai whispered.
ah!
Cheng Dalei exclaimed, but he had forgotten about this matter. Ever since Hua Zhengze came to Toad City, Cheng Dalei has been thinking of ways to keep him. He has been staying in Shuofang City these days and not going back. There may not be a reason for avoiding him. But
I didn't expect that Cheng Dalei wouldn't have to look for it, the reason would come to him on his own.
When the East China Sea was in chaos, Hua Zheng became homeless, and there was no need for Cheng Dalei to think of a solution.
"Is Doctor Hua in a good mood?" Cheng Dalei asked.
Liu Facai shook his head. He had followed Hua Zhengze all the way to Toad City, and the two naturally had some friendship.
"When Dr. Hua learned about this incident, he was so sad that he fainted. It is said that one of his childhood sweethearts was afraid that he would also suffer in this incident. Now he is seeking death and survival, and he is accompanied by Military Master Liu."
Cheng Dalei sighed helplessly, Hua Zhengze did not belong to the troubled times, he only wanted to cure diseases and save people, and live a stable life. But in such a bad world, no one could help himself.
"Ah, what did you just say? Military Master Liu is accompanying him?"
"Yes, Military Master Liu is also a warm-hearted person. I can't see Doctor Hua being like this."
Cheng Dalei was startled. It was a good thing that Liu Bei was not here. If Liu Bei was here, a living person could be tortured to death by him. Not to mention a person like Hua Zhengze who seeks death.
"Quickly, bring my cow. I want to go back to Toad City. It won't be too late."
Cheng Dalei stepped onto the black bull, not daring to stay for a moment, and returned to Toad City in the rain.
