Manager Liu pulled him aside and told him about the difference in treatment between the villagers of Xinan village and the manor.

Hu Chun, Gu Chengrui, and I came to the conclusion that the manor is not lacking in food at the moment. Thats why Mother G.o.d didnt give us much.

Since fish baskets were given here, I think it should have the intention of letting them earn our keep.

Tian Jingzhong nodded in agreement and said, Thats true. The entire country, or even the entire continent, is suffering from disasters one after another. If we only rely on the help of Mother G.o.d, where would so much food come from?

Ultimately, well still have to rely on ourselves.

He then looked at the incense in Manager Lius hand and asked in surprise, You dont lack food; what are you offering incense for?

Im not starving to death, but dont forget the soldiers outside the manor. They consume a lot of food every day. Without supplies, they wont be able to hold on much longer.

I see. As the saying goes, the emperor never lacks hungry soldiers. Since theres hope now, we cant let them go hungry. Tian Jingzhong nodded in agreement.

Wait for me, he added. Well go together at noon. Ill gather all the village chiefs to pay our respects.

Sure, lets go together. Manager Liu immediately understood what he wanted to do.

He then went back with Hu Chun to wait for the news.

After Hu Chun learned from Manager Liu about the deeper meaning behind the fish baskets, he returned to find Uncle Hu and said, Uncle, find a few women who know how to hatch eggs and to find those eggs that can be hatched. Well raise chickens.

When the chickens grow, we can have meat and eggs.

I understand, but the feed

It might cost some food from us in the early stages, but we can raise earthworms later to feed the chickens. They will grow quickly.

Are you sure itll work?

It should be possible. While working as a bodyguard, I heard people in the mountains feed the chickens this way.

Then lets try with half of the eggs. Uncle Hu turned around and went back to work.

Conversely, Manager Liu also mentioned raising chickens to the manors tenants. As for whether they followed his advice or not, he did not care.

After resting briefly, he called Chang Shun over and went to the military camp. He called a few group leaders together and told them about Tian Jingzhongs plan. What are you guys thinking? Do you want to go together?

We would like to go, but were afraid of embarra.s.sing the Third Prince.

Whats there to be embarra.s.sed about? If it works, not only will you guys get substantial food, but you can also save a lot of money for the Third Prince.

Then lets try.

Remember to be sincere; as long as youre sincere, itll work.

We understand. Either we dont go, or well have to show our utmost sincerity when we go.

At noon, Zhou Ying was drying the firewood in the courtyard. Suddenly, she heard the sound of gongs and drums and walked out curiously.

She saw Tian Jingzhong leading a large group of people up the mountains.

She couldnt help but mumble inwardly, It seems like Ill gain a lot of faith today.

The village chief and the patriarch looked at each other and asked, Whats the meaning of this? Why didnt they call us?

I dont know. Theres still incense in the ancestral hall, so lets take them and follow. The patriarch answered.

Alright, lets hurry up.

After that, the two older men quickly brought a lot of their incense and joined the group to pray for food.

After Tian Jingzhong saw the two of them, he gave them a simple explanation, But since youre here, lets go together. Dont get your hopes up.

Yes, no matter the result, we are still offering our prayers. I believe Mother G.o.d will remember this.

Yeah. Tian Jingzhong then led everyone to set up an incense table outside the Mother G.o.d Temple. He placed the offerings and began to wors.h.i.+p Mother G.o.d..
