General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 364: Mighty General (2)

"It's absolutely true." Yang Hua smiled, "At that time, my eldest brother was suspected by the emperor. For the sake of us brothers, he resigned and retired. However, the court had already been torn apart by the emperor and corrupt officials. We didn't want to stay there, so we all resigned and searched for my eldest brother. We finally found him and reunited here. We originally wanted to follow my eldest brother's example and live an ordinary life in seclusion, but we received news that after the emperor's death, the four princes were secretly preparing for war for the throne."

"Maybe you think what I said is too far away for you, and you may also think that your place is small and will not be affected, but I can tell you very seriously that once the war breaks out, everyone will be affected." Yang Hua said seriously to the villagers.

"Then what should we do? Are we just waiting to die? There is nowhere to escape to, and nowhere to go..." The old lady burst into tears, feeling that she had no future.

"Yes! Then what should we do? Even if we want to resist, we can't defeat the prince's elite soldiers, right?" The old man also sighed. There is no chance of winning at all.

"This is also the reason why we asked everyone to come here today." Yang Hua made a quiet gesture to everyone, and everyone couldn't help but quiet down and look at Yang Hua.

"Do you believe it now? If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have known this news, but now that we know it, we should wake up and fight against the difficult days ahead. We are civilians and we can't help with the war, but we can do our part to protect our soldiers." Ji Xiaou stepped forward and said to everyone.

"How can we help? We have neither money nor food. What can we do if the war breaks out?" the villagers asked in confusion.

"Use the method we are most familiar with! Plant food." Ji Xiaowu said loudly. "Why did I contract the land in the village? It is to prepare for the future. If I succeed, then at least we can guarantee that there will be no famine in the future. Everyone has heard about the output value of my potatoes from the village chief. Just think about it, if I succeed in planting so much food, then this food will be more than enough to feed us."

"Really?" The villagers looked at each other. Some of them had heard other villagers say this but had never taken it seriously. But after hearing what Aunt Ji said, the older generation's eyes lit up. If the output value was really as high as Aunt Ji said, and the growth cycle was short, then, then, then... then there would definitely be no famine.

"In another month, it will be the potato harvest season. When the time comes, I will ask everyone in the village to help me harvest, so that everyone can witness with their own eyes whether what I said is true." Ji Xiaomian's words made the whole audience boil.

"Then what do you want us to do?" someone asked.

"I need you to farm. Just farm well. It won't be difficult for you. Fang Chen's plan is to turn our remote little town into a fortress-like existence and close the city. No one can hurt us. But before that, there is a very important prerequisite, that is, our lives need to be self-sufficient. After the city is closed, no one is allowed to enter or leave." Ji Xiaomu said seriously.

"Old girl, are you telling the truth? Can we really build a fortress here?" The village chief stood up excitedly.

"We are already preparing." Fang Chen nodded to the village chief.
