Chen Jialuo is a rare talent in the old Chen family. He saw at a glance that most of the people were dead soldiers or assassins with high martial arts skills. As soon as these people came out of the city gate, they mingled among the civilians outside the city. Although the Chen family arranged a lot of guards here because of the need to maintain public order, it was obviously not enough to deal with these dead soldiers. Indeed, whether it is measured by quality or quantity.

"It's a problem now." Chen Jialuo frowned. He was a little angry. He really didn't understand why his ancestor was so bold and slipped out of the city by himself, especially without the accompaniment of his ancestor Qianxin.

Chen Xiansong smiled. He looked at the civilians lined up in front of him waiting for the porridge and said slowly: "Don't worry, I really have no danger. But you may be affected by the fish in the pond. I want to believe that in this world, except Sister Qianxin and Xiao Min, no one can hurt me."

There is a reason Chen Xiansong is so confident. As long as he is still within the spiritual vein of Xiaoling Mountain, he will not be injured in the true sense. But Chen Jialuo was not aware of this. Instead, he bent down and said, "Old ancestor, I know you have a magic trick, not a mortal, but a body of a thousand gold cannot sit in the hall. You are the bones of our Chen family. A family can have no flesh, but not bonelessness. I will stop serving porridge now and send someone to escort you back..."

“No need!”

Chen Xiansong knew that Chen Jialuo was for his own good, but after comparing with Bai Min and Bai Qianxin, Chen Jialuo's approach would be at a disadvantage. If Bai Min and Bai Qianxin were here at this time, they would definitely persuade Chen Xiansong not to take risks, but once Chen Xiansong decided to stay, they would not say a word, and then they would take the initiative to eliminate danger in a tough way. Of course, this has a lot to do with strength. Bai Min and Bai Qianxin can completely defeat a city, but Chen Jialuo cannot.

But his own strength is just a criterion. Chen Jialuo can let several people return to the city, pull the family's guards out, and then come over to protect Chen Xiansong with a tough attitude. This way, it can not only make a gesture, but also greatly encourage the morale of family members, but he did not... This is not his fault, but he did not have such an idea at all. After all, the thinking of human beings is very restricted. They often act based on experience rather than the result of thinking.

Chen Xiansong actually considered this. However, he didn't like to be honest, so he gave up. Anyway, whether there was such a thing or not, he felt that it would be a sure thing to win Heluo City now. What's more, the Chen family is doing a lot of porridge and doing good deeds here, but no one comes to stop it, and there is not even a royal family. It seems that the world has not much research on the dragon-slaying technique.

In fact, Chen Xiansong did not have much research, but he read many books, especially the historical books left by a certain country for thousands of years, which were all kinds of conspiracies and all kinds of blackness. Looking at this era, it is completely incredible.

Chen Xiansong did not pay attention to Chen Jialuo's anxiety anymore. Their current location was on a small slope. At a glance, you could see the Chen family's porridge shed lined up on the official road outside the city. The official road in autumn was a icy yellow color. When the wind blew by, a burst of sand and dust were filled with it.

In this environment, the porridge will contain some sand, but no one will dislike it. Drink an extra bowl of porridge at this time and you may be able to survive the upcoming and real food shortage.

In the distance of the official road, there are a large number of people working, some digging stones, and some cutting trees at the foot of the mountain. These people are doing these things with labor-for-relief. After all, if you accept the porridge, you can only eat half full. The elderly, women and children can survive with rice porridge, but if the old man only eats a bowl of porridge for a meal, he will be so hungry that he is dizzy.

Therefore, any man with some strength chooses the path of labor-for-relief. Moreover, according to Chen Xiansong's meaning, Chen Jialuo quietly released public opinion among the crowd. If a man with hands and feet accepts porridge and robs the food for the elderly and women and children, he is a coward without eggs.

Chen Jialuo implemented Chen Xiansong's orders very well. He understood the meaning of cutting trees. After all, burning charcoal, furniture, building houses, making boats, etc. requires all kinds of wood. Two bowls of rice can be exchanged for four or five good wood. This transaction is simply a huge profit.

But he didn't understand why his ancestors wanted someone to dig stones. If they were digging some strange stones such as birthday stones, they would understand it, but the stones outside Heluo City were of no use, and they were so simple that they were inconspicuous.

"Jialuo, how many such stones have you dug now?" Chen Xiansong pointed to the huge rocks on the roadside.

Hearing Chen Xiansong's words, Chen Jialuo sighed and had to put his anxious thoughts aside. He said, "Go back to my grandfather, it has reached more than 20,000 kilograms. My grandfather, I don't understand one thing. What is the use of digging so many stones? The manpower for digging stones has accounted for half. Why not get all these people to cut trees? At least we can make more money."

Chen Xian smiled and said, "These stones are of great use to us. In the future, I will give you a recipe to make a good thing called cement."

Chen Jialuo's eyes lit up: "What is cement?"

"A building material, the house made is very tough. If it is used to build a city wall... as long as the thickness reaches ten meters, even if it is rushing, it cannot be hit. The most important thing is that it is convenient for transportation, easy to build, and has a very low cost, but it can be sold at an extremely high price."

When Chen Jialuo heard this, he took a breath of surprise. He really didn't expect that the tasks Chen Xiansong did were all meaningful. When he heard that Chen Xiansong wanted to use labor for relief, he thought it would not be successful. After all, two or three bowls of rice, he would ask someone to cut down a few big trees and come back. Who would do such a thankless thing?

But the facts made him unbelievable. When those strong men heard that the Chen family was working to help them, they would feed them as long as they cut trees, and immediately came a large group of people and started working without saying a word. They were afraid that the Chen family would not want them. If they were in the past, even if they gave out a silver coin, they might not be able to dig two good tree embryos.

As for digging stones, Chen Jialuo thought at first that this was just a way to cleanse the energy, but he didn't expect that the ancestor would actually turn waste into treasure.

The scholar is truly worthy of being a scholar, and the man Qian Xin is interested in. Just giving porridge and using labor for relief, I don’t know how many things have been arranged in it. No wonder the old man often said that he should not go against the scholar, otherwise he would not even know what was going on. Now he finally understands the terribleness of this sentence.
