Ji Ran heard Liu Zhan's suggestion and felt that this suggestion was very good, if he could use food to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and rely on everyone's strength to build a fortress, it would be much faster.

"Okay, then I'll exchange all my points for food and water, and then let everyone exchange resources for food to speed up the construction process of the fortress." Ji Ran said approvingly.

"Well, just do it, the sooner the fortress is built, the safer we will be." Liu Zhan nodded and said.

Once you have a plan, the next step is to implement it.

In order to take better care of Su Su, Ji Ran asked Ji's father and Ji's mother to stay in the back mountain, leaving them plenty of food and water to let them live without worry, and then, Ji Ran and Liu Zhan went to the Qianshan Grand Canyon together.

Ji Ran first inspected the topography of the Grand Canyon, this canyon is high and deep, the narrowest place is only a few tens of meters wide, and there are cliffs on both sides, making it difficult to fly.

This is the most suitable place to build a fortress, as long as you build a solid fortress here, you can use very little manpower to resist the attack of the zombie tide.

After Ji Ran chose the location, he started his own plan.

She exchanged two points for a ton of food and a ton of water, and then put up a notice that anyone could exchange the same weight of food and water if someone was willing to bring the stones.

After seeing this notice, everyone felt a little puzzled.

Stones are everywhere in the mountains, and the density of stones is very large, even if it is a stone, the weight may easily exceed twenty or thirty catties, can a twenty or thirty pound stone really be exchanged for the same weight of food and water?

Now is the time of food shortage, and the migrants in Qianshan have been without food for several days, and now they suddenly see such a notice, how can they not be suspicious?

If the food is so easy to obtain, then why not go to the back mountains and risk being eaten by wild wolves to hunt?

Since the notice was posted, more and more people have gathered, but although there are many people who see it, there are few people who actually want to try it.

Ji Ran was a little worried, with such good conditions, why is no one willing to try?

"Xiao Ran, I think that if this is not the case, the reason why everyone is unwilling to try it may be because they are suspicious of us and a manifestation of their distrust of us, it is better for us to follow the story of the ancient Ximu Lixin and increase the reward, maybe there will be unexpected effects." Liu Zhan gave Ji Ran an idea.

Ximu Lixin is a story that happened in the Qin State during the Warring States Period, when the Wei State was strong and often bullied the Qin State in the west, after the Qin State lost the land of the West River, the door of the whole country was wide open, and the Wei army could drive it straight into at any time, and the country was in turmoil, and it was in danger of dying at any time.

At this time, in order to strengthen the Qin State, Qin Xiaogong issued an order to the six countries of Shandong to recruit talents.

At this time, there was a person in the Wei State who was not treated well by the King of Wei who came to the Qin State, and this person was Wei Ying, because he was born in Wei Guo, so he was called Wei Ying.

After Wei Ying came to the Qin State, he saw the disadvantages of the Qin State at a glance, thinking that there were too many clan lords in the Qin State, and the inherent aristocratic class almost monopolized all the rights and resources, so that the vast number of people with lofty ideals lost the channels for rising, and the talents could not be reused, the incompetent people were in high positions, and those who were loyal to the country could not be rewarded, and those who were not beneficial to the country enjoyed honor, and only the unscrupulous monarchs could be used, and the country had no dead soldiers to be loyal.

Therefore, in response to this current situation, Wei Ying put forward a plan to change the law and strengthen the country, that is, to break the inherent aristocratic class system, give the common people a channel to rise, and reward all those who are beneficial to the country, and those who have no merit are not allowed to be punished.

The core idea is four words: reward farming.

Although the plan to change the law was very good, however, when it was implemented, it encountered big trouble, at that time, due to the corruption of officials, the loss of trust in the people, many people did not believe in the government, at this time Wei Ying in order to let everyone re-establish confidence in the government, he took the way of moving wood and lixin.

He put a large log in the city and told everyone that whoever could carry the wood to the city gate would give him a lot of money.

At first, people were worried about whether the government was playing tricks.

Or is it a show?

Is it time for the election again? Take advantage of this frivolous thing to canvass votes?

Wei Ying saw that people were still hesitating, so he raised the price, and whoever could move the wood outside the city gate would give the villa a bungalow, with a property right of a hundred years, and a BMW incense car.

At this time, some people were moved, and a young man volunteered to carry the wood and move out of the city.

Originally, the young man didn't want any villas and bungalows, BMW cars, in fact, it was enough to give a little reward.

However, when the young man delivered the wood to the designated place, who knew that Lord Wei Ying, who was the head of the left house, immediately gave the young man the key to the RV and fulfilled his promise.

At that time, many people were incredible, the government actually said what it said?

This is the first time in history.

Then one passed ten, ten passed hundred, and the image of the government saying that one and the other was erected, and then, the reform began to be implemented, and finally made the Qin State strong.

And Ji Ran feels that the current situation is very similar to the situation at that time, now everyone is an immigrant, and they have not yet established trust in each other, who knows if you are lying?

Everyone is hungry now, who has the strength to move rocks for you?

Ji Ran felt that Liu Zhan's suggestion was very good, and he should use the method of Ximu Lixin to make everyone confident in himself.

So, Ji Ran wrote a new notice and doubled the previous reward.

Whoever can bring the stone can exchange it for food and water that is twice the weight of the stone, and if you are willing to try it, you can advance a loaf of bread and a carton of milk.

When everyone saw the new notice, they couldn't help but be stunned and looked at each other.

Because such conditions are simply hard to find with lanterns, as long as you promise to move stones, you can actually advance bread and milk in advance, is there really such a good thing?

Just when everyone was still hesitating, a young man who was already hungry finally stood up.

"I'll move!" After the young man finished speaking, he walked to a place about a few hundred meters away, moved a stone of about thirty catties, and put it in the designated position.

The young man put down the stone panting, licked his lips, and looked at Ji Ran.

"Is that okay?" The lad asked.

"Well, it's very good, you can pick any food and water here, but it can't exceed sixty catties." Ji Ran said, and let the young man go to pick up food and water.

The young man was very happy, and put the bread, biscuits, milk, and juice into a large bag, filled a full bag, and put it on the electronic scale.

Although there were already a lot, the weight of one weight was less than fifty catties, so Ji Ran asked the young man to take ten catties of food, made up enough sixty catties, and packed them together and handed them to him.
