Gao Xiangui stood beside him with his arms folded across his chest. He didn't believe that the skinny little country girl in front of him had any good ideas!

Zhou Yue saw a well in the backyard and came up with a plan.

"Instructor, can you ask the soldiers to bring me a few more buckets of water?"

"Of course you can!"

Liu Yaowen called several soldiers to fetch water from the well, but now he could only try his best to save the situation.

The soldiers came to the wasteland carrying several buckets of water.

Zhou Yue said to the soldiers, "Pour the water in the buckets onto the wasteland."

The soldiers were somewhat puzzled, but they did as they were told.

Zhou Yue squatted down and stared at the water-soaked land.

Bucket after bucket of water was poured into the wasteland, starting from the easternmost end of the wasteland and moving towards the west.

Zhou Yue squatted beside him, staring at him without blinking.

Finally, after watering almost one-third of the wasteland, she noticed a clue in one place.

She was very sure in her heart, and with a confident smile on her face, she pointed to a piece of land next to her.

"Instructor, the entrance to the cellar is right here!"

Then two soldiers carrying hoes came over and started digging.

When Gao Xiangui saw the position of the two soldiers, his face turned pale, his eyes were bloodshot, his head was buzzing, and cold sweat ran down his forehead.

How did this damn devil know the exact location!

The two soldiers kept digging down, and finally they had dug as deep as their thighs, and a brown wooden board was exposed.

The soldier who was digging the ground suddenly saw something bright. "Instructor, we found something underneath!"

Instructor Liu Yaowen and the soldiers were all delighted and quickly gathered around.

In fact, we kept digging down and when we dug to the depth of our calves without finding anything, we had almost given up.

I didn't expect Gao to be so cunning and hide the entrance to the cellar so deep!

When the soldiers lifted the wooden board, they found that there was indeed a cellar underneath. The space inside was extremely large and was completely filled.

The harvest this time is definitely indispensable!

Instructor Liu Yaowen raised his own questions at this time.

"Comrade Zhou Yue, how did you find out that the entrance to the cellar is down here?"

Zhou Yue squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil and explained.

"This is a wasteland that has not been cultivated for a long time. The soil has become hard and hard, and water seeps in very slowly when it is watered."

"The land at the entrance to the cellar has been excavated recently and is relatively soft. When water is applied, it seeps quickly and can be easily discovered if you observe carefully."

"I see! This method is really great!"

Liu Yaowen's face showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and when he looked at Zhou Yue, his eyes were full of approval.

Seeing that everyone had discovered the entrance to the cellar, Gao Xiangui finally couldn't hold on any longer. He fell backwards and sat on the ground with an expression as if he had lost his soul.

It's over, everything is over...

Unlike his dejected look, on the other side there was a bustling scene of moving things.

Some soldiers carried bags of rice, and some carried large boxes, and began to carry them into the camp one by one.

There were so many things that they borrowed a bullock cart from a nearby farmer. The cart was piled high with things, and they returned home fully loaded.

When most of the things had been moved, two soldiers escorted Gao Xiangui to the fields for forced labor.

Gao Xiangui had a dazed look on his face and his body was limp, and he was dragged forward by the soldiers.

The three women hid in the corner and saw the whole process. They were so angry and annoyed that they couldn't stop wiping away tears.

"That damned Gao Xiangui, I told him to leave long ago but he still won't leave!"

"What a curse! They made us put all our valuables in there! There's even my dowry in there!"

"We are done for now! We don't have a penny left!"

The three women became angrier and angrier as they spoke, cursing Gao Xiangui with the most vicious words, completely unlike the sweet words and obedience they had shown before.

"Why are there so many people gathered here?"

Zhou Yue muttered to herself as she walked through the crowd.

After helping her comrades find the cellar, she returned and prepared to continue sewing cold-resistant clothes.

As soon as we got back to the camp, we saw a lot of people gathered here, all of them were ordinary people from Yangcheng.

Almost all of them were women, from old ladies with silver hair to young girls with pigtails. There were at least a thousand of them, crowded together.

Lin Xiuhua was squeezed in the crowd and was so busy that sweat broke out on her forehead. When she saw Zhou Yue, she pulled her over.

"Ayue, come and help!"

"Hey, good!"

Zhou Yue rolled up her sleeves and started to get busy.

An old lady squeezed in front of her with a warm and simple smile.

"My needlework is well-known in the surrounding area, and my hands are very fast. I can easily make thirty sets in two days!"

"Hey, ok ma'am!"

Zhou Yue responded to her with a sweet smile, then turned around and took thirty sets of military uniforms.

These military uniforms look quite old. They are used by the soldiers for changing and they were just collected.

Then he weighed 69 kilograms of cotton, cut some cloth, prepared needle and thread, put everything into a big cloth bag, and handed it to the lady.

As soon as the news of asking villagers to help sew military uniforms spread, all the young girls, young wives, and aunts in Yangcheng came.

Everyone reported the number of clothes they could make in the next two days, and then the uniforms, cotton and cloth were distributed.

Let the villagers go home and do the work themselves, and then come back to get their wages when they are done.

The method of sewing clothes is actually very simple. It is to sew the lining on the inside of the single-piece military uniform with cloth, and then evenly stuff cotton into the lining.

Because the total amount of cotton seized from the warehouse was 20 kilograms, and there were more than 8 soldiers in the team, only two and a half kilograms of cotton could be added to a set of military uniforms.

By adding cotton lining to your clothes, the autumn and winter won’t be too hard to endure.

However, when it comes to crossing the snow-capped mountains, this padded military uniform is no longer enough.

Oh, I'll figure it out when the time comes...

Soon the villagers received all the things and prepared to go home to start sewing.

Of course, there are only a few people like that lady who can do 30 sets, and most people only get around sets.

After these villagers left, everyone did a statistics and found that the villagers had taken away less than 30,000 sets.

In this case, there are still more than 50,000 sets left for them to complete. What should they do with so many left?

Everyone was looking at the sacks of military uniforms and the mountains of cotton on the ground, and they were really overwhelmed!

This is a totally impossible task!

Just when everyone was frowning, the Minister of Ordnance, Chen Gang, came towards them with a cart full of things.

"Come and see what goodies I brought you!"
