In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

Su Li remained silent until the issue of food came up, at which point she spoke up: "What are your plans next? According to you, a large part of the reason they chose to send troops to the south is to seize food, is that right?"

This was indeed true, and the generals present exchanged glances without refuting it.

Zhao Zexuan nodded in agreement with Su Li's words, saying, "That's true. They came for the food. The northern region has suffered severe disasters, and they urgently need to replenish their food supplies to get through the winter!"

After hearing the long string of news, Su Li wasn't surprised to receive Zhao Zexuan's reply. Instead, she asked, "What are your plans next?"

Hearing Su Li's question, Zhao Zexuan remained silent for a moment before asking, "How much grain is currently stored in the granary?"

Su Li had asked this question a few days ago, so she knew very well. After accurately revealing a number, she said, "This amount of grain can ensure the operation of the southern region for the next period of time, but if we want to take in more people, the grain reserves may not be enough."

Su Li's words were quite direct, and everyone present was intelligent enough to understand what she meant immediately, so they didn't say anything more.

After hearing Su Li's words, Zhao Zexuan made a decision. He said, "That group of people are after the grain. I will send more people to the grain base. Everyone needs to be on high alert during this period."

As soon as Zhao Zexuan said this, Su Li understood his plan, felt relieved, and didn't say anything more.

The details and arrangements still need to be carefully considered, so there's no rush and the meeting ended quickly.

After the meeting, Zhao Zexuan still needed to discuss some matters with the generals, so Su Li went back to her room first.

Although it has been made clear that the base does not have enough food, we cannot just stand by and watch people starve to death when the time comes, so we still have to make the necessary preparations.

After thinking for a moment, Su Li asked Mo Bei to send a message to Aunt Wang and the others, telling them to continue stockpiling grain, the more the better.

……

Late at night, Zhao Zexuan returned to his room to rest, assuming that Su Li had already fallen asleep, but she was still sitting at her desk, busy with her work.

Seeing this, Zhao Zexuan couldn't help but lean closer and ask, "What are you busy with? Why aren't you resting?"

Hearing this, Su Li, who was lost in her thoughts, came back to her senses and looked at Zhao Zexuan, saying, "I'm thinking about how to increase grain production and how to improve planting efficiency more conveniently and quickly."

"I originally thought that grain production could keep up with the rate of consumption, but judging from the current situation, it is probably far from enough."

Zhao Ze understood what Su Li meant, and he shared the same thought. He sighed helplessly and said, "There is still a long way to go to achieve the goal of no one going hungry."

After saying that, Zhao Zexuan looked down at the blueprint in Su Li's hand and asked, "What's this?"

Following Zhao Zexuan's gaze, Su Li also lowered her head before saying, "This is a waterwheel I designed based on the current terrain of Lingcheng, mainly used for agricultural irrigation."

“Other parts of Lingcheng are fine, but water is not very convenient. Some fields near water are fine, but irrigation is very difficult for some distant fields, and it requires a lot of manpower and resources.”

"I'm thinking about whether I can design a practical waterwheel to solve this problem."

Upon hearing Su Li's words, Zhao Zexuan carefully examined the blueprints in front of him.
