The four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Yuanyang City were opened at the same time in the early morning.
After more than a month, the young men walked out of the city gate again, but this time they will go further.
At the north gate, the suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and the soldiers passed at the front, followed by more young men behind.
Further behind the team, there are also a large number of horse-drawn carriages, which will be used to transport food.
There were about 600 young men leaving the city at the north gate. In addition to the 200 men from the Military and Horse Division, there were also guards led by a general banner to protect them.
With such strong protection, the safety of leaving the city can be said to be extremely high.
Holding the sickle, Wu San walked on the official road outside the city, looking at the corpses appearing on the roadside from time to time, Wu San felt extremely heavy.
Behind him are several of his younger brothers. These people are more submissive and are just looking around curiously.
It has to be said that after being locked up in the city for so many days, every place after leaving the city brought them new... strange feelings.
After walking outside for a while, they saw a wide wheat field in the distance.
"These good lands belong to the big men in Yuanyang City. It's a pity that these big men are dead, and the food ends up in our mouths instead!"
"Stop dawdling, start harvesting the wheat now!" the attendant yelled loudly.
Young men and women entered the fields one after another, and more than 500 people cut the fields together. The scene was truly spectacular.
Not far away, there is a small village, which was the residence of the tenants who rented this land before, but it is now empty.
There are no walls in Xiaozhuangzi, so there is no way to protect against zombies. It is not surprising that all of them are infected.
In the wheat field, the government servants shouted loudly: "Everyone, work faster. Whichever team of you finishes the work earlier can rest earlier. If you work harder, you will be rewarded!"
The soldiers of the Military and Horse Division were patrolling around the wheat fields, while the palace guards were resting in the village.
The sun gradually rose higher and became more and more fierce, making the young men who were working extremely thirsty.
Fortunately, each of them brought a kettle so that they could replenish water at any time. The Yamen officers fetched water from the river and boiled the water directly beside the official road.
"Third brother, this wheat is growing really well. There are at least tens of thousands of acres of land outside Yuanyang City. All this medicine has been taken back to the city, so it will be safe for this winter!"
Wu San nodded. From May to now, Prince Yong's Mansion has indeed maintained the basic survival of the people in the city, so at this moment he also believes that this winter can be passed.
Although Wu San was worried about the safety outside the city before leaving the city, he didn't see even a single zombie all morning, which made Wu San feel much better.
"Work hard and harvest more wheat today, and you can get more food when you go back, so that your wife can have enough to eat!"
"Okay, third brother!"
The two of them buried their heads and cut forward. Soon they were ahead of the others and harvested a long length.
"Third brother, look at this wheat. It's full... Just pull it up with your hand and you'll get a handful of grain!"
The words were not spoken loudly, but they still startled Wu San.
"How about... let's take some secretly home? Put it in your shoes and no one will find it!"
"Shut up, are you going to kill me?" Wu San scolded in a low voice.
After being reprimanded, the young man stopped talking and continued to work hard.
Hundreds of people were working in the fields, and in less than an hour, more than a dozen carts were filled with wheat.
Under the escort of government officers, the loaded grain was transported along the official road and directly to Yuanyang City.
Wheat is being harvested here in the North City, and there is no exception in the South City. However, a group of young men were taken into the forest and were wielding axes to chop down trees.
If cutting wheat is tiring, cutting down trees is even more tiring.
Building military vehicles requires very strong trees, which are difficult to cut down and require preliminary treatment after being cut down.
These tasks require a lot of labor, and the average young person cannot handle this.
In addition to cutting down the tree and disposing of it, they also need to carry the wood to the car and take the cut branches back to be used as firewood.
In addition to cutting down trees, we also need to cut down bamboo. Bamboo is the raw material for making bamboo armor, which is also essential.
The four directions of Yuanyang City, the southeast, northwest and are all in full swing of labor at the moment.
Carriage after carriage passed through the official road outside Yuanyang City, delivering cart after cart of supplies into the city.
As the old saying goes, if you have grain in your hand, you will not panic. When you see carts of wheat coming into the city, the hearts of the people in the city will become more stable.
Even if life is a little harder, as long as they can see hope, people can survive.
Soon, a morning passed, and a lot of wheat had been piled up in the major warehouses built in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
Now it is the turn of the young men who stayed in the city to work. Their task is to remove the wheat from the wheat, which is much easier than the work outside the city.
But strictly speaking, there is no such thing as who takes advantage and who suffers, because the two groups of people come in rotation.
The sun is high in the sky, and all the young people outside Beicheng are staying in the village outside the wheat field.
The house here is empty, so it is suitable for people to rest. After all, people cannot be used as animals. If you want to rest, you must also eat.
At this moment, Fang Tong was walking casually in the wheat field.
He had been staying in Zhuangzi all morning, and now he led his people to move out of Zhuangzi so that these young men could have a place to rest.
Looking at the soldiers patrolling in the distance, Fang Tong said slowly: "Send someone to tell those hundreds of households to stop patrolling nearby and go a little farther!"
Although Fang Tong is only the general bannerman, because he belongs to the palace guard, his status is higher than that of the hundreds of soldiers and horses.
"Yes, I'll tell them right now!" the little flag officer on the side replied.
"Also, let our people disperse. There are hundreds of acres of this large wheat field. Search it again... Don't make any mistakes this afternoon!"
"yes!"
In fact, Fang Tong would rather go to the front line to kill zombies than work as a bodyguard in the rear, because it is too easy to get into trouble.
After his subordinates gave him the order, Fang Tong continued to wander around the wheat field.
At this moment, a small flag officer accompanying him saw the straw in the field, and his expression suddenly became suspicious.
I saw him squatting down, picking up the straw, and then said in surprise: "Sir, look at this..."
Following the sound, Fang Tong glanced at the straw, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
It turned out that the top of the straw was bare, and none of the wheat ears that should have been there were missing. It had obviously been pulled off.
Holding the straw in his hand, Fang Tong sneered and said, "It seems that someone has eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage!"
Once this kind of thing is discovered, it must be severely punished.
But he glanced around and said, "Do you think it was our people who did it?"
"Sir, we, including the Military and Horse Division, have never been short of food supply, so there is no need to do this!" replied a small flag officer.
Nodding, Fang Tong said coldly: "Well, you go and send someone... to bring those young men out, and I will interrogate them personally!"
