Cut off my army's food supplies? I'll open a portal between the two worlds and max out my

"The general is here!"

Someone shouted something, and the crowd became excited.

"General!!! It's the General!!!"

"Thank you! Thank you for letting us have a full meal!"

"Oh, General! Thank you so much!"

Although there were only about twenty people, the commotion they caused was as if there were a hundred.

Whether they were old or young, everyone was jumping and hopping around with their hands outstretched.

Li Wen was stunned when he saw this scene.

He looked down and realized that he wasn't riding a white horse or wearing a white coat.

What's going on?

Li Wen looked at Jiang Tian beside him.

Jiang Tian also looked completely innocent... He had simply told everyone that the general was coming to inspect the area; he hadn't actually prepared any fancy programs.

He also knew that the general disliked these formalities, especially those tedious rituals, so Jiang Tian naturally wouldn't do such things.

Li Wen didn't speak, but instead smiled and waved to the people around him before heading to the shelter.

"Is there enough food?"

Li asked the cooks in the kitchen.

"General, rest assured! The rations we receive each day are more than enough!"

"That's good."

After leaving the kitchen, Li Wen returned to the area where the refugees had gathered.

The representative of these refugees was Old Man Liu. Li Wen came over directly and said, "Everyone, don't get agitated. I just came to see if you can adapt to your current life."

The people around were still somewhat excited.

Although it was their first time meeting Li Wen, they knew very well that the warm white porridge they ate every day was a gift from the general before them.

Old Liu said excitedly, "Thank you so much, General, for giving us a meal! If it weren't for your kindness, we would have starved to death in this Gobi Desert."

Li Wen shook his head and said, "Everyone has suffered an undeserved calamity. If it weren't for this calamity, no one would want to live a life of hardship."

"General, you're right!!!"

Li Wen's words struck a chord with Old Man Liu, and he was so moved that he wanted to kneel down before Li Wen.

Li Wen quickly helped him up, not knowing what kind of scene would unfold if Old Man Liu started this habit.

"Old folks, there's no need for that! I'm accepting everyone here so that we can all work together to build Anxi Town. And you don't need to feel too guilty. You're not just here to freeload. I assure you, every member of Anxi Town has work to do! You should all take care of your health first so that you can better contribute to Anxi Town."

Li Wen spoke very frankly; it wasn't just empty talk.

It was precisely this realistic approach that reassured the displaced people.

As farmers, they are not afraid of hardship or fatigue. As long as they work, they will reap the rewards. They are willing to work with all their might!

I'm afraid of those vague and illusory things.

The biggest problem is that if Anxi Town only feeds them but doesn't let them work, that's the real issue.

If that were the case, Old Man Liu would have already run away with his men.

Although the remaining refugees were still somewhat agitated, they at least stopped dancing around after Li Wen's persuasion.

Li Wen personally spoke to Old Liu and the others about their future resettlement, and told them to eat well and that they would be assigned jobs soon.

The first task was to cultivate farmland.

After talking with the refugees, Li Wen called Jiang Tian out to speak separately.

"What's going on? Why is the scene so exaggerated?"

Li Wen's tone was quite helpless.

Jiang Tian put on an innocent expression and said, "General, I didn't know either! I just told them you would be coming today. I know you don't like those formalities, so naturally you wouldn't do such pretentious things... It seems everyone knows you have a kind heart and respects you from the bottom of their hearts—"

Seeing that Jiang Tian was about to launch into another long-winded praise of himself, Li Wen interrupted him helplessly, saying, "Stop! Okay, I know you're not the one causing trouble... Just proceed as planned from now on."

Jiang Tian nodded and assured him, "General, please rest assured. Although the number of these refugees is not large, doing this well is a good start for Anxi Town, and I will naturally take it to heart."

Hearing Jiang Tian's words, Li Wen was very pleased.

He had witnessed Jiang Tian's growth over this period, and the fact that Jiang Tian could say such things meant that his vision had broadened.

Li Wen patted Jiang Tian on the shoulder, said nothing, and turned to continue with other things.

Li Wen is quite busy right now; there are endless things to do in the entire town of Anxi.

Even so, Li Wen still had to take time to move urgently needed supplies to Anxi Town, as well as the food stockpiled at the Venus Hotel.

Fortunately, Li Wen has excellent logistical skills and coordinates the work in an orderly manner.

Li Wen's main task was to find a stable sales channel for the soap, and Blackstone was the best candidate to carry it out.

"How have you been these past few days?"

Li Wen called Heishi to his office and asked him a question.

Blackstone looks very different from how he used to be. When he was the chief of the herdsmen, he liked to slouch in his chair.

Now he's become very well-behaved, sitting upright in his chair with his hands properly placed on his lap, his eyes looking straight ahead. Black Stone is clever; he knows how to improve. These past few days, he's been holding onto a grudge, determined to do more for Anxi Town! At least more than that White Wolf guy.

Li Wen was aware of Blackstone's idea of ​​healthy competition, but since neither Blackstone nor White Wolf had violated the rules of Anxi Town, Li Wen did not get involved in their "conflict".

Hearing Li Wen's concern, Hei Shi grinned and said, "General, I really like life in Anxi Town now! We don't have to fight like before! Now I can eat every day by working! And I can earn my own wages!"

The operating logic of Anxi Town is very simple: as long as you work hard, you will reap the rewards.

There is no class oppression, no complicated exorbitant taxes; here, as long as you work hard, you can live a good life.

Whether they were soldiers of the Anxi Army or members of the herdsmen who joined later, they all felt that Anxi Town was like a paradise.

Li Wen didn't waste any more time on small talk, and then handed Black Stone a task: "Since that's the case, then I'll confidently give you a new task..."

-

Not long after, Blackstone led the previous caravan members and left Anxi Town.

However, this time they did not head east, but instead headed southwest.

Soon, in less than two days, Blackstone led the caravan to Tongcheng, the largest city on the border of the White Elephant Kingdom.

After arriving in Tongcheng, Heishi and his men had just settled into their lodgings in the market when they heard a series of clanging sounds outside.

"Guild Master! Cavalry have surrounded this place!"

"What?"

Blackstone was shocked when he heard this, and then he reacted instantly.

They seized one of the children who had come with the caravan to learn and shoved him into a strange, occupied room: "Hide inside, and no matter what noise you hear, don't come out! If something happens to us, speak up in three days and tell the general what happened here. Absolutely do nothing to reveal your whereabouts, and don't think about revenge. Remember, your responsibility is to bring news from here to the general!"

Before the child could nod, Heishi forcibly shoved him under the bed.

Then, Blackstone led his men away from the room, and everyone took out their weapons, preparing to deal with what was about to happen.

"Splash!"

The door was pushed open, and a squad of armored soldiers rushed in.
