Good Man Operation Guide

The people who stayed in Zhou City before the refugees came were similarly idolizing the City Lord who sheltered them and the City Lord’s three sons. Of course, a large part of it was because Lin Fourth took his ancient ‘water army’ team to hide in the crowd and gossip various praises for the Lins’.

At the end of the praises, they didn’t have to continue, the people themselves have evolved into fans of the Lins’.

And the fiercer the praise, more outrageous. It turned into, Lin Shiheng, the kind-hearted city lord, was said to have sent by the gods, and fell from heaven.

After the refugees were settled, they weren’t restricted from moving around. Because the government gave them less and less food, many refugees went out of their tents to start looking for work, then they greeted by a lot of gossip, praising Lord Lin, in the city.

‘The Lord of the City is good’, ‘the Lord of the City is particularly nice’, and so on.

‘When you come to our city, you will enjoy the blessing. I tell you, in fact, I used to be a refugee. Now, look at my clothes, my food and my ruddy face. After seeing it, you will know how good my life is under the City Lord, right?’

‘Unfortunately, in order to be able to take care of you, the Lord opened the warehouse and gave out grain. Now it seems that it could no longer be maintained. We’re all worried.’

‘If you’re thrown out, can’t blame the Lord. He has tried his best to raise you for such a long time and distribute medicine, free of charge.’

‘He’s too nice. Just like an immortal sent down from heaven.’

Lin Fourth shuttled among the people with the ‘water army’ group and praised with a group of people. After praising for 2 days, he guessed that it was about time. Lin Shiheng announced that Zhou City couldn’t afford the refugees, but he didn’t want to drive people out to suffer. Therefore, he began to recruit people who set up the new city. Food and housing were available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Not waiting for the group of people who were all thinking ‘the Lord is very good, the city is also very good, leaving no regrets in life’, Lin Fourth had already commanded the water army group to sign up in a rush, looking as if thinking ‘such a good opportunity, anyone who doesn’t take advantage of it, are fools’.

People have the herd mentality, to put it in layman’s terms, what everyone rushed for, must be a good thing. Some refugees were also reluctant to give up, and they rushed to squeeze in with desperate efforts. Lin Third saw the opportunity to bring people to set up a sign beside it, saying that he was recruiting troops here. They would get clothes, food, housing, and monthly silver.

There were so many people in Zhou City, and the monthly silver was definitely less. However, compared with the construction of the new city next to it, it was already a surprise that the monthly silver would be given in full and properly.

Immediately, the queue on both sides were long.

A group of homeless refugees who are all dangerous in the eyes of many authorities and are absolutely not worth the loss, were completely swallowed by Zhou City, without even a belch.

When the other forces were fighting feverishly, Zhou City was still building a new city. There were many spies in Zhou City, who had a thorough understanding of what happened this time.

The Lord of Zhou City took in a group of refugees with great kindness. But, as a result, there was no place to put them and no food to eat, so he had to start building a new city.

Just build it. Anyway, when the world was settled, this new city they built, no matter how good it is, and it was also property of the new owner.

Almost every rebel group felt that they were the ‘new owners’. When Zhou City was anxious for food and sent letters to borrow food, they also had the feeling of ‘this is my future city’ and lent some food and provisions as a gesture.

Zhou City’s construction work progressed quickly, and in parallel with the construction work, the city was also constantly reclaiming fields. With the efforts of the soldiers, the people and the prisoners who had been facing the fields every day since they were captured, the old grains had been eaten up, and new grains was constantly being produced.

The reputation of Zhou City’s benevolent Lord spread all over the world, and more and more refugees came to join him. Zhou City was all for it.

Lin Shiheng had developed a new skill: ‘crying for poverty.’

He cried not only to the people, but also to the whole world. He also cried to those rebel groups.

Basically, writing a letter to express oneself shamelessly. There were more and more people in the city, and they were all old, weak, sick and unable to work. Now the city really couldn’t afford it. How about some charity?

At first, the rebel groups were willing to show their benevolence. After all, Zhou City was notoriously not participating in the fight for the world, but dedicated to raising the people of the world. They gave food, trying to win the hearts of the people.

But after a long time, several rebel groups stopped.

This master’s own rebellion is short on food, why should I give it to you?

And this fellow was too cheeky. They muddled through at first, so they were late to find out that Lord Lin had had sent more than one letter. Except the court, all the rebel forces received begging letters, and at first, everyone really gave him a batch of food.

If it weren’t for the fact that everyone was fighting like hell right now, and really couldn’t spare a hand, maybe there would really be a rebel group with a temper that would come looking for Zhou City, to settle accounts.

Lord Lin wrote several letters, but either he didn’t get a response, or he got a letter saying that they also want to express compassion, but they were really powerless. Become our own people, and you would certainly be treated with care.

Then, the people of Zhou City began see the Lord walking around while sighing again.

His face, which was looking younger and younger, grew sadder and sadder by the day, and soon spies throughout the city knew that Zhou City was out of food.

Zhou City, which fed so many people and didn’t go out to fight for food; After running out of food, what would they do?

The Third Prince near Zhou City were the first to raise vigilance, secretly guarding against Zhou City, who had no food.

Although he didn’t think that Zhou City’s Lord, who spends his days building new cities and planting land, would have the guts to do anything; but a cornered dog would jump over the wall, not to mention this was a person.

As a result, while he was on the defensive, Zhou City sent several wagons of weapons over.

When he opened the letter, it was written by Lin Baozhi of Zhou City.

Yes, Baozhi was Lord Lin’s courtesy name. It was said that he had been a man without a courtesy name for over 40 years. As soon as he became a Lord, he asked a scholar to make a courtesy name for himself. Even letters and introductions were made.

The Third Prince naturally didn’t know who this Lord Lin was. It was to prevent that bast*rd son to recognize him and target him. With an ‘I want to see what new way you use to beg this time’ mentality, he began to read the letter.

Lin Baozhi is an oddball, which was acknowledged by all the rebel groups.

And now, this unsuccessful begging oddball had produced a shot ‘repeating crossbow’, saying that he wanted to exchange them for food with the Third Prince.

(TNote: repeating crossbow = [連弩]; pinyin: Lián Nŭ; is a Chinese crossbow that was invented during the Warring States period, and remained in use until the late Qing dynasty. It is also known as the Zhuge crossbow.)

The Third Prince who was sitting tight, watching the spectacle, grabbed the letter and quickly stood up.

Crossbow!

Looking at the short line above, ‘shot repeating crossbow’, his heart beat like thunder.

He has grown this old and been in the army for so long, but had never heard of such a divine object. Although it says that feathered arrows couldn’t be installed, and iron arrows couldn’t be shot at a long distance, but it could be brought to war, so there was only a moderate distance.

Think about it, when fighting, the other party shoots an arrow, and they shoot ten. Although it consumed a little, but these could wait until the end of the battle, and recycle the arrow!

If such a good thing was used in the military …

Before he finished reading, the Third Prince squeezed the letter in his hand. If the crossbow technology was real, Zhou City mastered this technology, it has to be his!

He should immediately send troops to bring down Zhou City, which he never looked at before!

Even with all the excitement in his heart, the Third Prince still reopened the letter and looked down after calming down a little.

At this second look, that excited jumping heart immediately skipped a beat.

Lin Baozhi actually sent people to send the crossbow to other rebel groups at the same time. He also made it clear that a coveting heart is a sin. If Zhou City was attacked by any party, he would still hope for rescue, and Zhou City will offer everything with both hands to the savior.

If attacked and no one rescued, Zhou City will immediately surrender to the side that attacked it.

When rebel groups find out that such things were in Zhou City, they wouldn’t let Zhou City fall into enemy hands.

If someone came to attack, the other two must come to rescue.

If no one rescued! If no one rescues Zhou City, it will defect. Wouldn’t it be more powerful?!

To sum up, the three parties restrained each other, and no one could move Zhou City.

This was simply …

Simply …

The Third Prince thought, ‘while opponents haven’t found out yet, quickly take the weapons’. The hot-blooded fervent feeling was splashed with cold water, directly on the head, extinguishing it clean.

“Sly old thief!!!”

He can’t help cursing aloud. After cursing, he still had to arrange someone to get provisions for the weapons.

He also knew, the other two parties would buy it. If they bought it and he didn’t, wouldn’t it just be waiting for death?

Not only to buy, but also to buy as much as possible!

Although not hopeful, the Third Prince still sent a letter when he had the grain sent over, expressing his desire for his side to be an exclusive buyer.

Zhou City certainly wouldn’t agree.

Even if a nest of spies arrived in the city, there was no use. Even if the crossbow’s production method was stolen, and Zhou City would produce new weapons. It still threw out more than one weapon, so that they could contain each other. In order not to be beaten down, they could only grind their teeth and buy it with provisions.

Zhou City had no lethality. Although it could build weapons, it could only defend itself. Unfortunately, the Lord was too much of a fox. If someone made a move, he would immediately take the whole city to those who didn’t make a move.

Therefore, the several rebel groups could only endure the urge to send troops to attack Zhou City every day, and look forward to an opponent who can’t help but attack, so as to be on the ‘correct side’. So, they have been restrained for three years this way.

3 years could change a lot of things, but the ‘three-sides supporting the weak underdog’ situation, hadn’t change at all.

The only thing that has changed is probably that little poor Zhou City has been rejuvenated under the leadership of Lin ‘wonderfully kind man’ Shiheng.

— It became the largest weapons development department in the whole world.
