The soldier smiled and explained, "General Zhan, the brothers have completed the task you gave us two days ago. With the help of experienced farmers, we discovered that as long as there is enough water to irrigate the land, farming is possible."
When his words fell, Zhan Qi and Xue Ruhong's eyes lit up.
Farming was the only sustainable way to produce food. If they could farm, they wouldn't need to rely solely on Heaven's blessings. They can also attract more people to come to Xiqiang City.
Grabbing the soldier by the shoulders, Zhan Qi said excitedly, "This is great news! This general will report to the Great General. Go back and tell the others to start preparing the farming tools. We may reclaim the farmland soon."
The soldier's eyes sparkled when he heard Zhan Qi's words. Clasping his fists, the soldiers accepted the order. "Yes, General Zhan!"
After the soldier left, Zhan Qi turned to Xue Ruhong and said, "General Xue, I will go find the Great General."
