I have been farming since I crossed over.

Lu Jintang stared at Yang Mingxi, who was as excited as a child, with a smile on his face. Her innocent smile seemed to be contagious, and Lu Jintang couldn't help but laugh along with her.

Not long after, the two walked into the dining room together.

Before they even sat down, the sumptuous meal that Lu Jinyan had carefully prepared was already served to them.

The aroma is so tempting that it makes you salivate.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from far away, and then Lu Dashan rushed in hurriedly.

As soon as he stepped into the dining room, he immediately knelt on one knee and apologized, "Young Master, I am late. I hope you will forgive me!"

Lu Jintang was concentrating on enjoying the delicious food in front of him and didn't even glance at Lu Dashan's arrival.

Yang Mingxi raised her head, glanced at Lu Dashan calmly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a half-smile, and said slowly:

"What brings you here, Commander Lu? If it's something unimportant, please don't mention it for now. After all, Jintang and I still have important matters to discuss."

Lu Dashan obviously did not expect such a response. He stood there in a daze, not knowing how to start the conversation for a moment.

He opened his mouth, but hesitated and closed it again, a hint of embarrassment appearing on his face.

After a long stalemate, Lu Dashan finally mustered up the courage to speak:

"Master, if you have any orders, just give them. I will definitely do my best and will never fail in my mission!"

Hearing this, Yang Mingxi raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked in a slightly teasing tone:

"Oh? So it's not a personal matter?"

After saying that, she looked at Lu Jintang meaningfully.

Until this moment, Lu Jintang put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, wiped his mouth elegantly with a napkin, and then spoke slowly:

"Go and arrange the matters here. We will return to the tunnel to check it out later."

"Yes, I'll be back soon." Lu Dashan replied, then turned around to arrange things.

After a while, Lu Dashan came back.

Lu Jintang and Yang Mingxi had also finished their meal. They got up and headed towards the cave by the sea.

Lu Jintang looked at Lu Da as he walked, because Yang Mingxi said that these things would easily explode if mixed together, so he was a little worried.

After Lu Jintang looked at it a few more times, Lu Da finally understood.

"Master, don't worry, we have placed the things separately." Lu Da scratched his head.

"Okay, just don't hurt yourself."

They soon arrived at the entrance of the cave by the sea. The changes here were huge compared to when they first arrived.

Corn has been planted on the gentle slope next to the cave entrance.

Along the freshwater river, all the surrounding wasteland has been reclaimed, and some of it has been planted with rice seedlings.

Yang Mingxi looked at the scene before her and said with a smile, "There really is strength in numbers! How long has it been like this? Less than half a month and it's already become like this."

As they were talking, Qin Yi came out.

From a distance, he smiled and said, "Hey, Master, you're here? Is there something going on?"

Lu Jintang also smiled and went over to greet him, "Uncle Qin, we came over to take a look. Is there anything particularly important?"

"You kid, you are so busy that you don't even have time to rest, how could you come here just to take a look? Look, Lu Dashan is back? Tell me, what's the matter, I'll take you there!" Qin Yi patted Lu Jintang's shoulder and said with a smile.

Qin Yi met the old general and the general when Lu Jintang got married. The two generals didn't say anything and entrusted Lu Jintang to him.

After that, I was busy with clearing land and digging holes, and I never saw the two generals again, including the current master.

Lu Jintang smiled and said, "Is it true that nothing can be hidden from Uncle Qin? I brought something with me this time to see if it can help dig a hole."

"Is this a big deal? What is it? Take it out and I'll know." Qin Yi said excitedly.

"Gunpowder. It can blow up the hole in the ground. I'll let you see it clearly later." Lu Jintang said with a smile.

"Gunpowder? Why have I never heard of it?" Qin Yi stared at Lu Jintang, looking around but didn't see anything new.

"You'll know soon, don't worry." Lu Jintang said.

When we got to the cave entrance, we saw a lot of changes.

In just ten days, the entrance to the cave has expanded more than ten times.

It extends very far inside.

Yang Mingxi looked at the scene in front of him and said with a smile: "Where did you put the soil you transported out?"

Lu Dashan pointed to the valley in the distance and said, "It's filled up over there."

Yang Mingxi took a look and thought that it was too far to carry.

He looked back at both sides of the cave entrance and pointed to the low-lying areas on both sides and said, "There's no need to transport it that far. We can fill it in these places. It would be great for growing corn or something in the future."

Lu Dashan looked at the place Yang Mingxi mentioned and slapped his head, saying, "That's right, why can't I remember it?"

Qin Yi looked back and forth and said, "Yes, the soil at the back can be placed on both sides and directly filled up to make land. It's also very good!"

As they talked, they walked towards the cave.

The entrance to the cave was very flat, with only people carrying soil back and forth.

When we walked further inside, we saw someone holding a hoe, slowly widening the narrow parts of the cave and smoothing out the uneven parts.

When we went a little further in, we saw many people digging soil and some people transporting soil.

Lu Jintang glanced at Yang Mingxi and asked, "Is this the place?"

Yang Mingxi nodded and said, "Let's stay here first!"

After Yang Mingxi finished speaking, Lu Jintang ordered: "Clear all the people inside, no one is allowed to stay inside."

After Lu Jintang gave his instructions, Lu Dashan and Qin Yi began to clear out the personnel.

Everyone took their own tools and pushed a cart full of soil, and then they worked together to carry it out.

After everyone had left, Yang Mingxi found a few suitable places to place the explosives and said to Lu Dadao, "Put five first. Place them in the opposite direction of the cliff. Put one more below and one less above."

Lu Da nodded and said, "Yes, leave this to me, you all go out first!"

Several people nodded and were about to leave when Yang Mingxi suddenly stopped and asked, "Brother Lu, are there people digging a hole among you? How far is it from here?"

Lu Dashan nodded and took out a map. "Someone is digging in the middle towards the sides. That way they can go faster. Let me see. They should be here. The straight-line distance should be about three kilometers."

While Lu Dashan was speaking, Yang Mingxi activated his perception and took a look at the entire cave.

The people over there were indeed still digging hard, but since they were still more than three miles away, they didn't say anything, and several people walked out of the cave one after another.

After about an incense stick of time, a rumbling sound came from the cave, and Lu Da ran out.

"Mr. Lu, are you hurt?" Lu Jintang asked nervously as he looked at Mr. Lu who was running out.

"Master, I'm fine. Just my ears hurt a little?" Lu Da said uncertainly.

"It should be an echo that vibrated the eardrum. It will be fine after a rest." Yang Mingxi leaned close to Lu Da's ear and took a look.

"Then can we go in?" Lu Jintang asked.

"It should be okay. Let's go in and take a look." Yang Mingxi took the lead and walked in front.

Lu Jintang grabbed Yang Mingxi and said, "Don't go in yet. I'll go in and take a look. If there's any danger, I can get out faster than you!"

After Lu Jintang finished speaking, he used his lightness skills and quickly disappeared from sight.

Lu Da and Lu Dashan also disappeared from sight.

Soon, Lu Jintang's excited voice came from inside:

"Come in! It should be safe for now!"

As soon as Lu Jintang finished speaking, a lot of people rushed in front of Yang Mingxi.

Then a great noise arose from within:

"Wow, this is too strong, comparable to an earthquake?"

"This way, we can save the time of digging and just move the soil directly."

"Will it collapse the mountain? This force is quite powerful."

Everyone was talking there, one sentence after another.

Lu Da looked at the scene in front of him and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the power of the earth explosion is more powerful?"

"Of course. Has the proportion changed? What about the quantity?" Lu Jintang was also very satisfied with the effect.

"No, they are all exactly the same as the ones that blew up the cliff." Lu Da said with certainty.

"Okay, I understand." Lu Jintang said, then looked at Yang Mingxi and said, "Can we ship it directly now?"

"Okay, let's start transporting!" After Yang Mingxi said this, she realized that everyone was using a heavy vehicle that looked a bit like an ox cart to transport the soil.

Yang Mingxi pulled Lu Jintang by the arm and said, "Look at their car. It's very heavy. We can improve it by leaving only one wheel and making the carriage smaller. This way it will be more flexible."

Qin Yi listened at the side, his eyes brightening as he listened. He smiled and said, "Can't it stand on one wheel?"

Yang Mingxi gestured and said, "If you add two more pieces of wood here, you can stop the wheelbarrow. Just like this."

As Yang Mingxi spoke, he gestured with a stick, and everyone understood at a glance.

"Okay, I get it. This design is so ingenious. Let's go out and start making this unicycle." Qin Yi said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. We'll go to the other two places to take a look. I'll leave someone who knows about this to help you dig the hole." Lu Jintang said.

"Okay, you guys go over! We also need to rearrange the division of labor here?" Lu Dashan said.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you there. My business is not urgent right now!" After Qin Yi said this, he took Lu Jintang and his group to the other two cave entrances.

Lu Da left Lu Shisi behind to be in charge of placing the explosives and igniting them. He left some things here before following Lu Jintang.

Along the way, Qin Yi and Lu Jintang talked and laughed.

"Uncle Qin, there have been great changes here. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Qin." Lu Jintang said.

"It's also thanks to Master Yao. You arranged so many people to help us open up the wasteland, and Master Qi also came personally to guide us in planting corn and seedlings." Qin Yi said complacently.

"That's as it should be. We just got into these things earlier than you and have a little more experience."

"Master is humble, that's why you are the master and I am the servant!" Qin Yi said with a smile.

"That's impossible! I am where I am today because of your unwavering support."

"You are very good. No wonder the old general passed on his mantle to you. I believe you will be fine." Qin Yi patted Lu Jintang on the shoulder.

Lu Jintang quickly changed the subject and said, "Uncle Qin, are your living conditions better now? We can't let the soldiers suffer."

"It's much better now. Everyone can eat their fill and has more energy to work. We can work and exercise at the same time without any delay." Uncle Qin said as he stroked his beard.

"Food is iron and people are steel. Only when everyone eats well and dresses well can they work better." Lu Jintang said with a smile.

As they were talking, they arrived at the open entrance in the middle of the cave.

This place is no different from other places. Everyone is busy digging holes and clearing wasteland.

Perhaps it’s because this place is not far from Qianhuang Mountain and there is a natural breeding farm next to it.

Lu Jintang discovered that the corn planted here was fresher and grew better than the corn planted in other places.

Yang Mingxi also discovered it. After squatting on the ground and looking at it for a long time, she found that this was actually a plain made of accumulated silt, which was naturally fertile.

Several people performed the same operation as over there, and soon a large piece of soil was dropped into the two holes. They just needed to transport it out.

Yang Mingxi and Lu Jintang looked at each other and continued to give orders inside.

After everyone got used to the various working styles, Lu Jintang and Yang Mingxi continued to walk towards Qianhuang Mountain.

Finally, there was a cave entrance on the other side of Qianhuang Mountain. The same method was used and a large area was quickly blown up.

Qin Yi followed and walked to three places. After seeing the explosives blow up everywhere, he suddenly felt a little impulsive and said, "Master, this explosive is so powerful even when used to blow up holes in the ground. If it is used to blow up the city wall, it should be good too."

Lu Jintang: “…”

Yang Mingxi looked at Qin Yi thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Not only is it good at blowing up city walls, it's also great at blowing up people!"

Qin Yi: "..."

Lu Jintang: “…”

Yang Mingxi looked at the two men with their mouths wide open and knew that they had never thought of using gunpowder to blow people up.

Yang Mingxi didn't explain too much. After saying those words, she just walked away naturally.

Qin Yi: "That's right, especially when crossing the single-plank bridge, if you have a few packs of explosives, you can easily eliminate the enemy."

Lu Jintang: "So, does that make fighting much easier?"

Qin Yi: "That's right. Master, please pull me and see if I'm dreaming."

Lu Jintang raised his head and looked at Yang Mingxi and said, "Axi, there are many things you mentioned before. Are they all for helping me fight the war?"

Yang Mingxi looked at Lu Jintang stupidly, and nodded after a long while: "Yes and no, those things mainly depend on the person who uses them, so they can't just be used for fighting, they have other uses too!"
