Su Li is meticulous in her work; the drawings and designs she produces are incredibly detailed.

The waterwheel structure shown on the blueprints was so clear that even a layman like Zhao Zexuan could understand it, let alone the skilled craftsmen.

With just one glance, Zhao Zexuan said, "The waterwheel on this blueprint has a clear and easy-to-understand construction principle. If we hand it over to the craftsmen to study, they should be able to get results quickly."

Hearing Zhao Zexuan's confident words, Su Li looked up at him and asked, "Can you understand it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan raised an eyebrow and said, "You've clearly explained the principles involved; how could I possibly not understand it?"

Hearing Zhao Zexuan's words, Su Li was satisfied and nodded, saying, "In that case, the craftsmen will understand it. I'm waiting for them to figure out the waterwheel as soon as possible."

The waterwheel's importance is undeniable, and Zhao Zexuan values ​​it highly. He then said, "I'll have the soldiers urge them to work harder and get the craftsmen to speed things up."

Waterwheels can improve planting efficiency, which is an undeniable fact. Therefore, Su Li did not refuse Zhao Zexuan's kindness, but brought up another matter.

"Based on your discussions, are you planning to engage in a direct confrontation with the North?"

The topic shifted a bit quickly, but Zhao Zexuan adapted well. For example, when Su Li asked him a question, he said directly, "I thought this battle wouldn't start for at least half a year, but now there's no time for us to prepare."

Although she had anticipated this, Su Li still felt caught off guard when the day actually arrived.

"Are you all ready?" Su Li asked seriously.

Seeing Su Li's question, Zhao Zexuan said, "Be prepared at all times. This day will come sooner or later. What difference does it make whether it comes late or late?"

There will still be differences. When they attacked other cities in the south, they had room to maneuver. But now, neither they nor all the people of Lingcheng have any way to retreat.

“The northern region has suffered severe damage, and they must have come with a willingness to die for their country. This battle will not be easy,” Su Li said.

“We have to fight, even if it’s tough. We have no way out now. The winner takes all, and the loser is condemned. If we win, we can unify the world. If we lose, that’s another story. But I believe we won’t lose!” Zhao Zexuan said solemnly.

Seeing Zhao Zexuan staring intently at her with a seriousness she had never seen before, Su Li said, "I believe in you, and I believe in the people of Lingcheng."

Sometimes, a thousand words are not needed; a single sentence is enough to understand each other's thoughts. Su Li did not say too many sentimental words, but directly said, "As always, I will strictly control the supply of provisions while you are fighting on the frontier, so there is no need to worry."

Without saying much, but his actions spoke louder than words. Instead of offering his usual words of thanks, Zhao Zexuan said earnestly, "Don't worry, trust me."

……

The troop movement from the north was both expected and unexpected. Zhao Zexuan and his entourage, having received advance notice, began their preparations early on, and now 100,000 troops are stationed along the border between the north and the south.

Zhao Zexuan was about to lead troops, so he set off early in the morning with a group of generals to provide support. Now, Lingcheng has returned to its former peace, and the people are working diligently.
