After a moment of pause, Yao Zhi continued, "As the General knows, there is a saying: feed a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."

"I will teach the people how to improve the quality of their land and how to cultivate better-quality grains. I will also share methods for producing better materials to build houses and walls."

"This way, after they rebuild their houses and lands, they will have a way to earn money and survive by selling the materials to other places."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xue Ya’er was shocked. Her family had a workshop that produced blue bricks, so she understood the value of high-quality materials for building houses and walls.

She never expected the Lei family to be so generous as to share these methods with the people. But what surprised her even more was the fact that the Lei family knew so many things.

After a long silence, Xue Ya’er said, "Young Master Lei, the climate in this area is extreme."

"During summer, the temperature is higher than in other places, which makes it hard to have enough water for planting. During winter, the temperature is lower than in other places, which makes it prone to winter disasters."

"With these conditions, it’s hard for people living in this place to farm. Most people depend on hunting in the mountains for food."

Yao Zhi thought for a long time before she said, "Since the climate is not suitable for farming, we can just find a way to make it suitable."

Hearing her words, Xue Ya’er sighed. "We are not immortals. It’s impossible for us to change the climate and go against nature."

When she heard her words, Yao Zhi didn’t say anything. It was impossible for her to go against nature, but with modern technology, it wasn’t impossible to grow crops. After all, there was something called a greenhouse.

While it was impossible to build a greenhouse with modern standards, it was possible to replace some materials and alter the method a little. Even if the result would not be as good as modern greenhouses, it was still better than completely depending on the weather.

Seeing that she didn’t refute her words, Xue Ya’er thought that Lei Feng also didn’t have a good solution. But after a while, she heard her say calmly.

"Madam, I might have a way to solve this problem, but I need the General’s and your help," Yao Zhi said after considering the pros and cons.

"Young Master Lei, are you saying that you have a way to let people plant crops despite the extreme weather?" Lu Qianxuan asked excitedly.

Yao Zhi nodded. "I do, but I still need to do some experiments to see if it’s feasible in the long term."

"Young Master Lei, as long as you have a way to help the people, we will do our best to cooperate with you," Lu Qianxuan said firmly.

To test the results, Yao Zhi decided to experiment in the place with the most extreme weather. "For now, I need a plot of land located in the area where the weather is the worst."

"I will send people to check the location and inform you as soon as possible," Lu Qianxuan agreed readily.

Yao Zhi nodded and added, "Besides this matter, my father also asked me to send supplies over. It’s to help the people and the soldiers get through this period until the provisions sent by the Imperial Court arrive."

This time, both Lu Qianxuan and Xue Ya’er stood up and bowed to her. "Young Master Lei, on behalf of the people and the soldiers, we thank you and the Lei family."

Yao Zhi reached out to stop them. "My family didn’t do this for you or the people. We only follow the mandate of Heaven." After saying this, she stood up and asked, "General, can you show me the way to the granary?"

Lu Qianxuan nodded and replied, "Young Master Lei, I will show you the way. This way, please."

40 minutes later, Lu Qianxuan, Yao Zhi, and the Ling squad arrived at the granary area.

As soon as they arrived, the soldiers guarding the granaries cupped their fists and greeted them. "Greetings, General!"

Lu Qianxuan nodded and asked, "How many granaries are still empty?"

One of the soldiers stepped forward and replied, "Reporting to the General, there are 12 empty granaries left."

Hearing this, Lu Qianxuan turned to Yao Zhi and said, "Young Master Lei, these granaries were cleaned yesterday. You can use them directly."

Yao Zhi nodded. "Please ask everyone to leave first."

Although Lu Qianxuan was curious, he still ordered the soldiers to leave the granary area. The Ling squad also retreated and guarded the entrance.

When everyone finally left, only Lu Qianxuan and Yao Zhi remained in the granary area.

She turned to him and said, "General, please wait here."

After saying this, Yao Zhi walked toward the granaries. The moment she entered the first granary, she opened the warehouse of her system’s farmland and took out sack after sack of grains.

Wheat, rice, millet, corn, mung beans, sweet potatoes, potatoes, dried vegetables, and preserved meat were stacked neatly inside the granary. Not only that, but she also took out sacks of flour, noodles, salt, sugar, and lard.

Since the granaries were large, she spent almost 2 hours filling all 12 granaries. By the time she finished, sweat was already drenched on her back.

When Yao Zhi walked out of the last granary, Lu Qianxuan was shocked speechless. Although he already knew that Lei Feng possessed a spatial artifact, he never expected the storage space to be this terrifying.

Compared to the one given to his wife, the one possessed by the Nuwa Clan’s heir must be a hundredfold larger. Just the amount of grain inside those granaries alone was enough to feed hundreds of thousands of people for a long time.
