"It's just that I hope this grain can arrive on schedule; otherwise, if it is delayed by one day, I am afraid you will have opinions. It must be said that this time is really particularly extreme."

"So I also reflected this to you because of this reason."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't want to point fingers at these things; after all, this is a matter for the rear."

When saying these words, Ying Mo couldn't help but feel very helpless; he naturally knew Meng Tian's meaning was complaining.

But he couldn't say anything more, and could only smile bitterly, letting the other party persist. Regarding the matter of grain.

Naturally, it was particularly difficult to handle; although there was grain in the rear, wanting to transport it over was not such a simple matter; there were quite a lot of things to do.

Plus this war was because of Ying Mo's temporary idea, so there was no preparation for a lot of grain at the production site.

Wanting to gather grain also required sufficient time, so this back and forth wasted a lot of time, which led to the current situation.

Meng Tian was also truly very anxious; today, after seeing Ying Mo arrive, he immediately brought up this problem; he wanted to get a good solution.

But Ying Mo refused him at this time, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

They were also very uncomfortable at this time, wanting to know how the transport speed of this grain could be improved; although this matter was not enough to be fatal.

It was even difficult to affect the situation of the entire battlefield, but once it was affected, it would be a complete collapse, so at this time, no commander would allow this situation to happen.

So at this moment, everyone fell into deep thought, and at this moment, only to hear Meng Tian say: "Why don't we recruit the commoners nearby to help?"

"Anyway, it's just transporting grain; we don't necessarily have to recruit soldiers. We give them enough grain, isn't that enough?"

"What's more, we also have enough expenses in this matter. What do you think?"

But after Ying Mo heard this, he sighed and said: "This matter is not that simple. We don't even know how long this war will last."

"We recruit people over, and when the time comes, they are not prepared over there, then what should we do? So the situation this time can be said to be particularly terrible."

"I think there is no need to be so anxious; being too anxious will have a negative effect instead, so I think we should wait first."

"Wait for a period of time to see if the speed has improved. If it hasn't improved, then we will think of other ways."

Ying Mo truly felt that the problem this time had stumped him.

And he even felt particularly uncomfortable all over, but just at this moment, a sound suddenly came from outside.

"Grain has arrived."

After hearing this sentence, Ying Mo and Meng Tian looked at each other.

Both of them were confused because, according to reason, they were naturally the most knowledgeable about the entire army's affairs.

But in fact, neither of them knew that the grain had arrived, and someone shouted outside that the grain had arrived, and such things naturally could not be shouted randomly.

Otherwise, it would be a beheading offense, so at this moment, the two immediately walked towards the outside.

When they arrived outside, they saw the scene before them and couldn't help but feel particularly moved because what he saw was exactly their own military flag.

But Ying Mo looked at the date again and felt that something was not quite right.

After all, according to the date, the other party did not delay the time.

Instead, it was ahead of time, which made him feel particularly confused and surprised.

But just being confused was of no use; subsequently, Ying Mo followed Meng Tian and headed towards the outside.

When the two arrived outside, they saw the scene before them and were instantly surprised.

And the deputy general beside him walked over and said to the two: "Young Master, General, the grain has all arrived; this grain is enough to support us in fighting the entire war!"

When saying this, his tone carried certainty and excitement.

After all, he was also a soldier in this war; he naturally did not want a lack of grain to happen.

Once there was a lack of grain, it might cause even more uncomfortable things.

For example, if the army still appeared to have some disadvantages, then it would be easy for the soldiers to mutiny!

So under such circumstances, the deputy general was also happy from the bottom of his heart.

And Meng Tian on the other side was very surprised and asked confusedly: "How could there be so many commoners suddenly sending grain over here?"

"I am a bit confused; according to reason, these commoners doing this kind of work is thankless, and we don't have extra money to be able to invite them."

"What kind of situation is this? I don't understand. Do you know the reason for this "973"?"

After hearing these words, Ying Mo raised his eyebrows; in fact, Meng Tian didn't know.

Ying Mo knew even less, but at this moment, Ying Mo took a look at the leader among them.

A trace of a smile could not help but appear in his eyes because the person leading was exactly the one he was familiar with, Zhou Ergou.

And at this moment, Ying Mo walked over and said to Meng Tian: "I will explain this matter to you later; as for other things, I will talk about them later."

"Now is not a suitable time to talk."

After hearing this, Meng Tian naturally understood Ying Mo's meaning; these commoners being able to come over to send grain was naturally an event extremely worthy of praise.

So at this moment, he didn't want to waste any more time and rushed towards the front.

And these days had been relatively hot, but these commoners did not shout about hardship or tiredness; their faces were filled with a look of gloom.

But their mood was happy because they knew that the grain had finally arrived.

So they were naturally very excited, and they drank the water handed over by other soldiers; they drank water in big bowls, and the whole person was very happy.

And at this moment, Zhou Ergou looked forward and was shocked.

He didn't expect that Ying Mo would come out to welcome them personally.

So at this moment, he also saluted directly: "Greetings, Young Master Ying Mo, General Meng Tian."

At this moment, Zhou Ergou's tone carried full earnestness.

It was clear that he respected Ying Mo and Meng Tian, and it was also because of his respect for Ying Mo and Meng Tian that he was willing to come here.

Ying Mo nodded at this time, subsequently let the other party get up, and then said: "You must be very tired after traveling such a long distance to get here, right?"

"Why did you come here? This should have put a lot of pressure on you."

After hearing these words, Zhou Ergou was instantly moved; she didn't expect Ying Mo to care about him so much, and even helped him consider this aspect of the problem.

One must know that at the beginning, even he himself didn't think about this aspect of the problem.

He only knew that Ying Mo had helped him, so naturally, he needed to be grateful.

Instead of thinking about other things, so at this moment, he said very honestly: "Actually, the most important thing is that after you, Young Master, left."

"The people in our county all felt very sorry; everyone was thinking of your kindness and couldn't forget it for a long time."

"Under such circumstances, I couldn't make them settle down at all, so in the end, I asked someone to find out where the army transporting grain would pass."

"Then I led these commoners to help transport grain together. Although we cannot go to the front lines, and we cannot offer advice for you..."

"We only do some hard labor in our daily lives, so we decided to help you send the grain over. Presumably, in this way, we can also contribute our small strength."

"And this matter didn't put much pressure on us because we had our own dry rations along the way."

"And those dry rations were prepared long ago, and the people in the entire county sent us dry rations, so we are not lacking in dry rations."

"And we were originally very tired doing some work at home every day, so compared to transporting grain, it's not much different."

"But this grain transport is different from farm work. Farm work can be a bit slower; as long as you don't starve to death, it's fine. But if something goes wrong at the front lines."

"Then it will be a scene of broken homes and tragic conditions. Naturally, I cannot allow that. I still distinguish these things very clearly."

"So I hope you can understand this aspect of the matter. We are actually not here for fame or fortune; we are just seeking peace of mind."

"Young Master, we are all truly very grateful to you."

Zhou Ergou stood at the very front, and the other commoners stood behind and heard these words.

They nodded quickly because their hearts were indeed thinking this way; they came this time just to thank Ying Mo, not seeking any return.

After Zhou Ergou finished these words, the commoners behind also spoke one after another: "Young Master, if it weren't for you, we would be living in hell now."

"It would definitely be particularly uncomfortable, but ever since you came, our lives will definitely get better in the future, and even much better than before."

"So we feel that life has a goal; all of this has to do with Young Master's approach, so we contribute such a small effort."

"It doesn't count for anything at all; you helping us is the big help, Young Master."

At this moment, his words carried full certainty, and the words were also very sincere; the few commoners behind also said similar things.

At this moment, they were truly very grateful to Ying Mo, as if Ying Mo had saved all their lives.

At this time, Ying Mo was a bit embarrassed and laughed at this group of people.

Subsequently, he said to them: "Everyone, I roughly understand what you mean."

"I have understood the situation now; it seems that it was indeed me who didn't think about this aspect of the matter."
