Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 538 The project is too big
"meeting."

Cang Xiuxuan said this word very firmly.

No one is willing to leave their hometown unless they really can't survive.

As long as there is a way for them to survive in their hometown, they will definitely go back.

The two looked at the city wall for a while before turning and leaving. The matter here had a solution, so what they had to do now was to appease the people in the city.

But they don't need to come forward for these things, Su is here.

They just need to give Su Ze some support.

At this moment, Su Ze is also actively solving these problems in the city. In the past two days alone, several vicious incidents have occurred in the city.

Although the people in this city are all selected and most of them are members of the military, there are too many people and something will happen to them as long as they last for a long time.

Especially at times like this.

I don’t know who first spread the word about the food crisis, and some people began to make plans for their future. Some people with bad intentions combined their efforts and targeted some wealthy households in the city.

"Lord City Lord, these were all found at the scene. The Lord has given an order that no one can leave the city. All those who committed crimes should still be in the city now."

The people below sent some evidence found at the scene to Su Ze, who looked at them one by one.

In fact, it seems that the evidence is of little use. At best, these actions can only be regarded as some crime tools left at the scene, which can still be seen everywhere.

"Is there anything else?"

If you really want to catch people relying on these things alone, it is simply impossible.

"No, the scene is very clean, and their goal is very clear. The family's money has not been touched, and all they took away is food."

"It's food again!"

Now that Su Ze heard these two words, he was confused. He couldn't understand. They were all in this city. When had they worried about food?
Now let’s start with some rumors.

"Our side is pretty good. I met a refugee before, and they said that the situation there is much more serious than ours. The city has become a mess, but everyone who has some food at home is struggling all day long. It's a strict defense. If this continues, I'm afraid people will die of anxiety instead of starvation."

The people below also looked helpless.

This kind of weather is really frustrating, and it has just begun. They can't even imagine what it will be like at the end of the year.

"Don't be too optimistic. If something happens here, it will only be more serious than other places."

Now Su Ze just hopes that there will be no problems with the food here.

But that was what he hoped. He felt that he knew a little bit about the actual situation. Even though they had collected food everywhere before, he felt that it was still impossible to guarantee that everyone would not go hungry.

The people below all understood the meaning of his words. Although the origins of these people in their city were simple, their hearts were complicated. At this critical time, whoever has food in hand can really become the king.

Even if someone showed up with food now and said that the emperor of Dayong had been replaced, he would still believe it.

"I heard earlier that the master sent some food out, and here we are..."

"You can't talk too much about the master's matters here!"

Before the man finished speaking, Su Ze slapped his desk, "No matter what the master does, he must do it without harming themselves. If I hear this today, I'll forget it." , I don’t want a third person to know these words, and I don’t want there to be a next time, otherwise I won’t be able to tolerate you.”

This person was someone Su Ze trusted very much after he took office. Unexpectedly, he could speak so openly.

That man naturally understood the seriousness of the matter. Now that the city lord had lost his temper, he must have stuffed all those words into his stomach immediately.

"Don't worry, sir. I will never say such words again in the future. This subordinate deserves to die."

Su Ze was already very irritable, and now that he was being provoked like this, he didn't even want to see him.

"Get out now!"

When Cang Xiuxuan and Song Chen came, they saw Su Ze looking like he had no love in his life.

"What's wrong? It's like an eggplant beaten by frost."

There were no outsiders here, and Song Chen didn't have to worry about saving face for Su Ze. He smiled when he saw him like this.

Su Ze became even more depressed when he saw this, "I'm almost bored to death here, but it's a good thing you guys have the leisure to make fun of me."

Speaking of this, Su Ze couldn't help but look at Cang Xiuxuan sadly. If this person hadn't tricked him, how could he be the city lord here.

The key is that Cang Xiuxuan cheated him, even his own father was cheating him.

As the city lord, two people worked together to trick him.

"You shouldn't have anything to worry about except food, but if you worry about food, you're just asking for trouble."

Cang Xiuxuan didn't care about his mood at all. He directly took Song Chen to sit down and said something like a tongue twister.Su Ze is not stupid after all. Hearing Cang Xiuxuan's words, he immediately became energetic. "What you mean is that we don't have to worry about food at all? Are you sure you have so much food?"

He understands Cang Xiuxuan's character and knows that no matter what time he will never say anything that he cannot deal with. Now that he is asking for trouble, it proves that he is not worried about food at all.

This knowledge made him feel very comfortable.

But after all, this matter was still too important, and Su Ze felt that it was better to ask more clearly.

Cang Xiuxuan came today just to give him reassurance, "I'll tidy up and take you to a few places."

Su Ze didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but he still followed Cang Xiuxuan's instructions and sorted out his official documents before leaving with the two of them.

The places where Cang Xiuxuan brought Su Ze were his several granaries in the city.

Looking at the piles of food in front of him, Su Ze exclaimed, "Only when I see these things with my own eyes do I feel at ease."

After speaking, he walked around the granary and talked for nearly a quarter of an hour.

There was no way around it, this granary was too big, and it was packed full of food. He wanted to avoid missing any place, so it would naturally take him more time.

But after being happy, a new worry came again, "How many granaries do you have?"

"Are the food reserves and military supplies here separate?"

Su Ze asked two questions in a row, both of which were very sharp questions.

He knows the number of people in their city clearly now. The more granaries like this, the better. But if part of the food reserves here are military supplies, then who should focus on the army or the people first?
When people have food in their hands and don't panic, they naturally won't cause trouble.

But if the army does not have food in hand, the army will completely lose its defensive capabilities.What ends up happening is a big problem.

Cang Xiuxuan understood his worries and brought him here today to give him an explanation.

"I have many more granaries like this. Don't worry about the quantity. You don't need to worry about food at any time."

As if to confirm that what Cang Xiuxuan said was true, Song Chen winked at Su Ze mischievously.

"It's fine if you say so."

Su Ze really felt a big stone fall to the ground.

"Then do we need to take some measures? Otherwise, the people in the city will think that they are about to face a food crisis, and they will not know what they are thinking, and they will cause trouble."

Having been the city lord for so long, I have dealt with the most of these things recently.

"We just want to give you confidence, and you can handle the rest on your own."

Song Chen and Cang Xiuxuan won't be fooled. He just doesn't want to work and wants to be a rice bug, and they won't let him succeed.

"You are still not my sister." Su Ze was choked to death by Song Chen's words.

"Not related by blood, sometimes yes, sometimes not." Cang Xiuxuan directly replied for Song Chen.

The two of them almost forced Su Ze to death when they sang together.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, although he himself was also clean, he always felt that these two people were particularly charming.

"How's the ditch digging going?"

Fortunately, they are in the south, where there are more rivers. The people's demand for water is not as urgent as food for the time being, but this situation will not last long.

If it continues without rain, the water in the river will dry up, and they will face a new test.

It will be much more troublesome then than it is now.

After all, food can be stored in advance, but water... is much more difficult to deal with than food.

Speaking of Cang Xiuxuan, he said seriously, "It has been going on, but the project is huge. It will take at least a month to dig the canal."

Cang Xiuxuan is talking about completing the canal, which does not include the time to refine fresh water in the future.

"Can the time be shortened?" Su Ze asked.

Cang Xiuxuan shook his head, "There are enough manpower, but the amount of work is too large, and it also involves many technical problems."

Now it is up to Zhuang Bosong to solve this problem alone. If he is pushed too hard, Cang Xiuxuan is worried that he will not be able to bear it.

"Hey, what is this? The weather is going to torture people to death."

Su Ze here wanted to curse God, but Song Chen was thinking about another problem.

There are indeed too few technical talents in their city. According to this time point, large-scale disasters will begin in a month. After all, the people do not have much food in hand. After the natural disaster came, the man from Dayong The emperor forced the people to hand over food again.
