Chapter 1240 As Pure as White Clouds
Fu Zhang sensed the strange energy slowly returning.
It quickly recovered to its most significant state.
He released his spiritual power, which instantly enveloped the entire city.
It can be seen that the city is managed fairly well. Although the people all have fear on their faces, at least everyone can have enough to eat.
And this time, a banquet was held.
The officials did not spend too much money.
The dishes served were all simple, home-style dishes.
Prefect Chen managed things very well; he was a good official.
With him in charge, no matter how many thoughts people had, they dared not show them.
Moreover, the people and soldiers in the city could see it clearly.
If anyone were to try to force Prefect Chen to step down and yield his position, the common people and soldiers would probably be the first to object.
"I will take action to clear out the monsters in the vicinity."
After taking the map, Fu Zhang left immediately.
Simultaneously.
On the other side, Fu Zeyu left the city with the expedition team the next day.
They needed to cross the moat to reach the area outside the city where they could cultivate the land.
Even if all the vacant land in the city were cultivated, it would still be impossible to feed the entire population.
Moreover, we also need to raise livestock such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, and sheep, which requires setting aside another area.
Therefore, arable land must be cultivated outside.
But outside there are not only wild beasts, but now there are man-eating monsters.
When the troop went out, several squads of soldiers followed them. They did not participate in farming, but instead guarded the area.
After everyone disembarked from the boat.
Each of them had a serious and solemn expression.
They carry tools such as hoes and sickles, which can also be used as weapons when encountering monsters.
Although it might only offer them psychological comfort, it would be completely useless to those monsters.
Fu Zeyu followed the group forward.
Ahead, a lush green expanse can already be seen.
There are staple foods for survival, as well as large areas of vegetables, and so on.
They quickly carried water to irrigate the land, turned the soil, removed weeds, and applied fertilizer.
Everyone got busy.
The soldiers, armed, patrolled the area vigilantly.
Fu Zeyu was then pulled away to pick vegetables.
Vegetables that are ripe and ready to be picked are harvested and placed in baskets.
The vegetables here are growing fairly well, but because there are no pesticides, there are a lot of insects.
Many people walked through the vegetable garden, picking out the insects one by one and stomping them to death.
"These damn bugs."
"The vegetables that we worked so hard to grow have been ruined by them."
"It would be great if all these bugs died."
"Why do monsters have to appear?"
After working hard and getting tired, various complaints could be heard quietly.
"Where do you think those monsters came from?"
"Is this really a punishment sent by heaven?"
"We didn't do anything wrong."
"When will this ever end?"
Do you think God really exists?
Another person mentioned God, although faith often arises in despair, and people tend to place their hopes on ethereal deities when they are in a hopeless situation.
However, Fu Zeyu still pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
“When I was a child, my grandmother told me that God exists.”
"She had seen the gods."
"That god was as pure and noble as a white cloud, and he saved her from falling while she was chopping wood on the mountain."
"Gentle yet powerful, as aloof and majestic as a tall pine tree, standing out from the crowd."
"Is your grandma telling a story?"
"Even if there really is a God, how could He be kind to us? Let alone save us."
