Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1378 Famine and Natural Disaster 536
A small punishment is a big warning, and the punishment will be over.

Ten military sticks, it will be fine after two days of rest.

As for Shen Jinghuai, who was beaten with five military sticks, he lay down for a night and was full of energy the next day.

General Zhongwu and others saw Shen Jinghuai jumping up and down like a bird, and it was hard not to suspect that the person beating him with the military stick had let him go.

Pingyang was under attack, and Zhou Ting had some free time, so Mingyi took him on horseback and headed towards the mountains in the east.

at the foot of the mountain.

The entrance to the mountain has been carefully maintained, with four tents next to it.

Mingyi explained to him, "The tents are for the soldiers stationed here to live in. There are about two hundred soldiers who followed the people into the mountains to work. You know all of these people, right? General Shen Jinghuai should have sent you a message."

Mobilizing military personnel, even if she had Zhou Ting's token, Shen Jinghuai would not give her personnel at will.

To put it bluntly, she has the right to mobilize manpower and the obligation to let Zhou Ting know everything.

These people all belong to Zhou Ting, and he has the right to know what the people under his control have done.

The secret guards would occasionally send him messages to report the situation, not to mention the generals and soldiers in the army.

"I know." He nodded openly, "General Shen did send a letter, but it was sent to General Zhenguo. After General Zhenguo received the letter, he asked me for instructions."

Mingyi was relieved. "That's fine. There are about a thousand soldiers being mobilized one after another. These people are mainly going into the mountains to protect the people who are opening the river."

"We should send people to protect them. Yiyi has considered everything." Zhou Ting understood and then affirmed it with approval, "How many people have the people gathered?"

Mingyi recalled the specific data that Grandpa Ning handed over, and said, "There are more than 2,000 people in total. This river channel needs to be dug wider. If we want to open the river in a short period of time, we can only use more manpower. The daily wage for each person is 50 coins. This work is too laborious. If the wages are higher, the workers will be more motivated."

"The wages are a little high, but they are within an acceptable range. Don't worry about this, Yiyi. During the time I'm not in Pingyang Pass, many things have to be done by you alone. I'm sorry for you." After getting off the horse, Zhou Ting quietly took her hand.

Mingyi was silent. In fact, she didn't feel guilty about anything.

Love means always feeling indebted.

She understood his feelings, but she didn't really think how great her contribution was or how hard she worked; the treatment and good material things she enjoyed were real, and he didn't owe her much.

She was only grateful to him that he would follow her wherever she went; she would not think about this silent and gentle love.

How lucky I am to have it!
"Chao Sheng, I do these things willingly. I am willing to do them and want to do them. I don't feel tired, but I am very happy. I was born in a humble family and have seen too many people suffer. I am lucky to have you by my side in the most difficult times, and you have planned for me. I became your disciple. These are all my luck."

"I have always known that life is not just about enjoying oneself; along with enjoyment comes responsibility, and I am very happy to be able to do something for the people." Some words, if said too often, will become a routine.

She would rather he remember this love silently and transform the debt into love for her.

She had heard someone say before that when a person loves you, he or she may feel guilty about the love he or she has for you. If the debt is always on their lips, then in the long run, the debt will only be on their lips.

If we transform debt into love, this love can transcend time and space and become a constant source of motivation.

The difference is that one has developed the habit of always talking about one’s debts, while the other transforms one’s debts into endless love, always thinking about one’s lover and doing things that are beneficial to one’s lover.

Zhou Ting curled the corners of his mouth slightly. If they were not outside, he would hug her tightly.

The little girl has grown up so much and experienced so much, and he feels distressed; however, her growth is good, and he will marry her when she reaches the age of 15, and from then on, they will fight side by side.

"Okay, I won't say it anymore." He would treat her well with all his heart, love what she loves, and like what she likes.

"Let's go. Let's go up the mountain and see how much of the river has been dug out."

When the two men were almost near the tent, a group of fifty soldiers in military uniforms and holding long spears came over. They were going to drive them away, but when they saw Cheng Mingyi, they immediately changed their tone.

"Miss Cheng is well."

"Your commander and I are going up the mountain. You guys should continue to guard."

The fifty people were shocked to realize his identity and hurriedly knelt down to greet him, "We are here to see you, Commander."

"No gift."

"Yes, thank you for your grace, coach."

Fifty people stood up and made way for them.

"Commander, you and Miss Cheng, be careful when you go into the mountains."

"Guard the entrance and report any problems as soon as possible."

"Here."

The two men walked up the mountain, and the soldiers looked at Zhou Ting's back with respect and admiration until they could no longer see him.

Mingyi smiled faintly as she was being watched the whole time, "Your soldiers have great respect for you."

Zhou Ting chuckled. He owed this respect to her. With the support of the people and the army, he had the foundation to conquer the world. However, he was a little hesitant now.

The Central Plains has become a barren land, no longer as prosperous as it once was.

What will happen if we take it down?
There is no food, no water, green plants are withering, and the population is declining sharply.

What do you need in the Northwest? Talents, food, water, green plants, people, everything.

After walking and stopping, they saw a river channel a hundred meters wide, and only after walking ten miles did they see the end of the channel. Standing on the mountainside and looking down, they saw the figures of the people working honestly, clearing the stones and tree roots along the established river route, and trying their best to dig two or three hundred meters deeper than the width of the river channel.

"This depth must be more than 260 meters, right?"

"Almost. According to the calculations given by Mr. Ning, a large sea-going ship has to dig this deep. The width of the river is still a bit narrow. If two or three ships pass through here, it will become crowded and impassable." After Mingyi pondered, he realized that considering the huge size of sea-going ships, the hundred-meter-wide river was a bit crowded.

Zhou Ting nodded, "It should be widened, but it's okay, we can widen it later; there are many rocks around, and the people have to do a lot of work."

Mingyi thought helplessly, of course it's big, it can't be a lot of work to dig it with bare hands! If we have black gunpowder to dig directly into the mountain, the project will be much faster.

However, she would not take out black gunpowder easily, as this thing was too lethal and should not appear in this era. If it appeared, it would definitely be used in war, and by then, countless lives would be lost.

Heaven has already eliminated many people with ulterior motives and compressed their living space; what Zhou Ting needs to do is to achieve great unification. Given the current situation, he can succeed without the help of gunpowder.

Knowing this, she didn't use black powder.

"Take your time. There are 2,000 workers, and a small number of strong laborers from surrounding towns have come. Many of them are refugees who have come to seek refuge. With the money they earn from the work, they can gain a foothold."

The longer the working hours, the more wages you will get.
