Zhao Xing thought for a moment and dipped his finger in wine to write two words on the table: Save the People.
"Save the People?" Xia Jing pondered.
"How to do it exactly?"
"Firstly, build shelters, away from the city, preferably underground, in mountainous areas, or locations of little strategic value."
"Secondly, establish mobile medical facilities, storage warehouses, prepare a large number of cold-proof and heat-proof vestment robes, as well as a substantial amount of food."
Xia Jing doubted: "Am I not just doing the work of the Transportation Department, Medical Department, and Engineering Department?"
"Moreover, if you want to save people, don't you still have to conquer cities and seize territories?"
