Meanwhile, in the affected disaster area, the villagers with stronger bodies and better stamina were busy gathering bamboo from the mountain under the lead of the soldiers.
Those with weaker bodies due to the recent plague were tasked with splitting the bamboo and clearing it of leaves and the diaphragm inside.
At the same time, other soldiers, under an engineer working for the Xue family, were clearing the area that would be used to build the waterway.
Standing beside the engineer, several Village Chiefs watched with curiosity and excitement.
A few days ago, a group of soldiers arrived in their villages and told them to gather the villagers.
They thought that something bad had happened again and felt anxious and worried. But after they heard the news brought by the people sent by the Xue family, they were stunned.
They never thought that the General's wife would ask her maternal family to help them solve their most urgent trouble.
