It was afternoon, and everyone was still hungry, but the generals present were still too excited to realize that lunchtime had passed.

The generals didn't notice, but Su Li, as the person in charge, couldn't forget. So when she saw that the generals were still eager to continue their stroll, she stopped them and told them to come to the warehouse to eat first, and then they could stroll around as much as they wanted after they finished eating.

The food was prepared in advance, and the generals could eat as soon as they sat down. Once they sat down, they realized they were hungry and sat down to eat. However, they ate very quickly, as if they wanted to finish their meal as soon as possible.

The generals' thoughts were on full display, and Su Li saw through them but didn't say anything. Instead, she focused on eating, as it was past mealtime and she was indeed hungry.

After everyone finished their meal in silence, Su Li had just put down her chopsticks when all the generals, except for Zhao Zexuan, stared intently at her, their thoughts written all over their faces.

Seeing this, Su Li smiled and said, "No rush, I'll take everyone to a more important place first."

Upon hearing this, the generals' eyes lit up, and they asked, "Madam, what kind of wonderful place is it?"

Zhao Zexuan was equally curious, and like the other generals, he stared intently at Su Li.

Su Li didn't keep them in suspense any longer, and said with a smile, "Does everyone know what place this is?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked around carefully and realized that there were many houses here, covering a large area.

Zhao Zexuan knew more than the others, and he spoke uncertainly, "Could this be the base's warehouse?"

Upon hearing this, the generals took a deep breath in excitement, while Su Li looked at Zhao Zexuan with admiration and nodded, saying, "Yes, this is indeed the base's warehouse. Would you like to take a look around?"

Upon hearing this, the generals nodded without hesitation and said, "If possible, we would be very willing."

Su Li: "Of course, since we've invited everyone here, we can't let them come for nothing."

Since we're already here, we can't miss out. Of course, visiting the warehouse is one of Su Li's purposes today.

Previously, there were no warehouses here, but since the establishment of the planting base, warehouses have been built, and the warehouses look better and sturdier than the houses where ordinary people live.

Each warehouse was guarded by soldiers, and the rules were extremely strict. As they traveled, the generals remarked that with such strict guarding, it would be difficult to steal grain from inside.

They walked all the way in until they reached the door of a warehouse at the very back, where they stopped. The warehouse manager, who had been waiting there since early morning, greeted them and bowed.

The generals behind him stared wide-eyed at the man managing the warehouse, seemingly in disbelief. After a moment, they asked, "Uncle Jiang, you work here?"

Upon hearing this, the man holding the key smiled and said in a light tone, "I am grateful that Madam is willing to hire us."

Seeing that Uncle Jiang was noticeably more cheerful than before, the generals were also pleased and said, "Uncle Jiang looks radiant now, and he looks younger than ever before."

Upon hearing this, the man laughed and said, "Looking at the pile of grain in the warehouse every day makes me feel particularly satisfied, and naturally, I'm in a good mood."

Hearing this, the generals became even more curious, staring intently at the warehouse door as if they wanted to see right through it.

Su Li understood what the generals were thinking, so she didn't dawdle and directly placed the key in Zhao Zexuan's hand, saying, "You are the general, you open the door."

Staring at the key placed in his hand, Zhao Zexuan was stunned for a moment before walking towards the warehouse and opening the door.

As soon as the door opened, a small mountain of grain came into view, a sight that shocked everyone present.

Some generals seemed unable to believe what they were seeing and couldn't help but rub their eyes to see if they were hallucinating.

They opened their eyes, closed them, then opened them again. Finally, the generals exclaimed in surprise, "We're not seeing things, are we? This whole hill is made of grain!"

"If you don't believe me, you can go inside and check for yourselves, and you'll see if it's true," Su Li said with a smile.

No sooner had the words been spoken than the generals rushed excitedly into the house and carefully inspected the contents. After confirming that the sacks contained enough food to fill their stomachs, their faces lit up with wide smiles, their mouths practically agape with joy.

Zhao Zexuan was also momentarily shocked when he saw the mountain of grain. After standing there stunned for a moment, he followed them into the house. Then, standing aside and looking at the excitement in the eyes of the generals, he said to Su Li, "This is truly a great surprise."

Su Li happened to be standing next to Zhao Zexuan and, upon hearing this, laughed and said, "Isn't that a big surprise? There are also several warehouses nearby, all piled high with grain. After seeing this, do you still have any worries?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan shook his head and said, "This will be Lingcheng's greatest source of confidence."

The generals' excitement had just subsided when they heard Zhao Zexuan's words, and they became excited again, nodding hurriedly and saying, "Yes, seeing so much grain is very motivating."

Upon hearing this, Su Li smiled and said, "That's good. Everyone here is a pillar of Lingcheng. If you have confidence, then Lingcheng will have confidence too."

These words were very pleasing to the ear; at least the generals were genuinely happy, their smiles practically reaching their ears.

Zhao Zexuan looked at his generals, who were all laughing like idiots. He smiled helplessly and then said, "Since Madam has given us such confidence, we have no choice but to work hard."

Hearing this, Su Li nodded as if to be serious and said, "That's right. If we don't work hard now, then everyone here will be letting down the grain in my warehouse."

Upon hearing this, the generals immediately replied solemnly, "Don't worry, ladies, we will do our best to defend Lingcheng."

Su Li naturally trusted the loyalty of Zhao Zexuan's generals; otherwise, she wouldn't have deliberately brought them here and made sure they saw the grain in the warehouse.

The situation in Lingcheng will be very difficult from now on, and there will be a tough battle to fight. That's why Su Li tried her best to show the generals the current food reserves of Lingcheng, so that they would know that Lingcheng is not short of food and that they can entrust their backs to the city with peace of mind.

Of course, Su Li achieved her goal, successfully reassuring the generals and greatly boosting their confidence.

Seeing the lively atmosphere, Su Li brought up another purpose of the visit: "Could any of you generals do Lingcheng a small favor?"

Upon hearing this, the generals immediately replied, "What can we do for you, Madam? Please just ask."
