Time quietly slipped by...
Night fell, and after a day's work of resource extraction, Dazhuang and the others all returned to the territory under the escort of soldiers.
Dahua and several other cooks also prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone.
Cao Xing and the others had a simple meal.
During this time, Dahua approached Cao Xing and reported, "Lord, our territory's grain supply is running low..."
"The over a thousand pounds you brought back last time was expected to last us nearly a month, but with the population surge these past few days, we consume two to three hundred pounds of food daily..."
"The new wheat and vegetable seeds have been planted, but they need time to mature."
After Dahua finished reporting, Cao Xing nodded.
This situation was within his expectations, as the frenzy of recruiting soldiers meant a massive consumption of resources.
"I understand, Dahua. I'll find a way to solve the food issue."
