About me traveling to the world of immortality but finding ways to surf the Internet

"Wow, it's a tortoise shell talisman. I want one too." Gudefu said with a little envy. Yang Yuyao, who heard Gudefu's voice, turned around and found that Gudefu had already taken care of one of them. A wild boar took out a huge pot and started cooking.

Since Yang Yuyao captured these wild boars alive, the other six wild boars that were immobilized and unable to escape all looked at Goodford in horror.

"Yes, I have prepared one for you." Yang Yuyao said to Goodford.

"Oh, thank you! By the way, Xiaoyuan, do you want this pig's head to be used as a sacrifice?" Goodford asked, pointing to the boar's head that had been chopped off but not cooked, and even the hair had not been removed.

"It should be necessary, right? Fu Zhu, if you want to start praying for blessings, can you use the wild boar head?" Yang Yuyao sent a message to ask Fu Zhu, who had left to check the situation of the camp. He himself didn't even think of doing these operations.

In the original world, although it was regarded as a feudal superstition, it was essential for them to offer sacrifices and pray before starting work, just so that the project could be completed smoothly and no one would die. Yang Yuyao didn't know what kind of gods those people who worked on projects worshiped, but when he saw them occasionally, he found that their attitudes were not serious.

And it seems that rumors spread everywhere, especially in schools, that accidents occurred during construction, people died, and they were buried under the building as sacrifices. Even in their university, there is a rumor that when one of the teaching buildings was built, the sacrifices during the groundbreaking ceremony were not religious enough, and as a result, three floors collapsed and killed three people. It was rumored that the early brothers and sisters would bump into ghosts late at night. In order to suppress these three people, their school even specially built the dormitory building next to it into a pattern of Bagua array.

Although the layout of the boys' dormitories is indeed a bit special, Yang Yuyao didn't see anything like the Bagua array in the past. In short, there are a lot of such rumors, most of which are caused by accidents for various reasons and people become sacrifices. Therefore, more people worship seriously before the construction of the project starts, just to avoid becoming the sacrifice.

This was true in a world where people didn't feel that there were ghosts and gods. It's not surprising that this world where there are clearly gods pays more attention to these things.

"It's better." Fu Zhu replied via voice transmission. Even though he was a monk, he also prepared roosters, black dogs and other worship items. Pig heads are relatively grand sacrifices. In this world where the number of pigs raised is far less than in the world before Yang Yuyao, pig heads are usually offered in more grand sacrificial activities. They didn't even have to worry about exceeding the specifications, because they only prepared one of the three sacrifices. And it happened that Yang Yuyao found a group of wild boars and captured them. Even if Goodford hadn't asked, Yang Yuyao wouldn't have remembered it.

But Fu Zhu had considered and prepared in advance, so this pig head was just the icing on the cake. Therefore, you still have to find professionals to do things, otherwise it will only be time-consuming, laborious and thankless.

Li Fengzhi handed over the task of distributing tortoise shell talismans to Qi Dongchen and let him arrange it. He has many soldiers under his command, so it is more convenient for each person to take a stack and distribute it. If Li Fengzhi distributed tens of thousands of talismans by himself, he didn't know how long it would take. This is what Yang Yuyao hopes to see, someone who can help him communicate with others and convey work matters.

In this way, Yang Yuyao can save a lot of energy to do other things, and he only needs to pay the corresponding remuneration. Of course, good assistants are hard to come by. When they were in the original world, other people in the institute felt that Yang Yuyao had a good vision and were envious of Yang Yuyao for having such a dedicated and dedicated assistant. Although Yang Yuyao felt that his assistant Su Haoting was sometimes too motherly, he was indeed impeccable at work.

It can even be said that because of Yang Yuyao's physical condition, being his assistant has a heavier workload than other assistants. But Su Haoting's work was still extremely perfect. Without him, the research of the small team led by Yang Yuyao may not be so smooth. As for the assistants of other people in the institute, no one is willing to be an assistant for that long.

However, Yang Yuyao didn't want Li Fengzhi to become an assistant like Su Haoting. His assistant Su Haoting had a strict and unsmiling temperament, but Li Fengzhi's temperament was completely different. As long as things can be done well, Yang Yuyao can accept their completely different ways of doing things.

Everyone is a different individual with a different personality. But you cannot judge whether someone is suitable for the job simply by relying on their different personalities. For example, when it comes to distributing talismans, Yang Yuyao can be sure that Su Haoting will operate in a different way from Li Fengzhi.

When different methods can equally achieve the final goal, the quality of the method will be determined by the efficiency of the method. All roads lead to Rome, but there are also straight avenues and winding paths. However, many times, it is very difficult to find the right path. Before the goal is actually achieved, no one can judge which method is better.

As long as the final goal can be achieved and Yang Yuyao can save worry and effort, then Yang Yuyao can accept it even if there is more time consumption. Now, he can accept a greater degree of time consumption. And Li Fengzhi is still young, so he can have a lot of time to grow into a better player.

The work of distributing turtle shell charms is still going on, and the food cooked by Goodford is ready to be cooked. So the person who received the talisman first came to Goodford to receive food. Although the yield per mu is not more than a thousand catties, compared with other countries, Xia's food is relatively abundant. This also allowed the Xia State to provide free food to the corvees, and the corvees did not need to worry about the increased tax burden they had to pay just because they ate free food like other countries.

However, the food provided to the corvees was usually not very good, but they provided free food without having to pay higher taxes. The corvees didn't have to choose, and they didn't bring their own dry food like other countries. Being drafted as a corvee, they received no wages and lost their farming time. Therefore, it is natural to save as much food as possible at home.

As for craftsmen, although the free food provided is similar to that of corvee labor, they can earn a certain amount of wages by virtue of their own skills. The food was poor, but compared to being drafted into corvee and not even having any money, they didn't dare to ask for too much. For the princes and nobles, whether they were regarded as corvees or not was just a matter of words. Even if they were not given a penny, they did not dare to resist. Otherwise there is only a dead end.

These people came to receive the food with no hope whatsoever of what they would receive. The fact that there were monks cooking for them did not reach their ears. They took their own bowls of various shapes and queued up to wait for the food to be distributed. The first person to receive it saw a rather large piece of stewed meat on the vegetable porridge, and his eyes widened in shock.

You must know that the vegetable porridge provided to them is made from a pile of miscellaneous grains and a little directly dried leafy vegetables. Such porridge does not taste good at all, and because it has not been shelled, it is coarse and difficult to swallow. There is actually a piece of meat in this kind of food that can only satisfy the hunger! It's like finding gold in the dirt.

After tasting the porridge, they were even more surprised to find that the porridge actually tasted pretty good. In addition, the stewed meat will bring a little bit of soup, and when stirred, the taste will become more fragrant. Yang Yuyao watched these people eating, taking a big mouthful of porridge and a small mouthful of stewed meat like fermented bean curd. He was so moved that he almost shed tears.

"Master, do you know what the dried vegetables cooked into the porridge are made of?" Yang Yuyao suddenly asked out of curiosity.

There are many vegetables that can be made into dried vegetables, but if they can be used as food supplies for the corvee, the cost of planting must not be too high. However, vegetables, as an ingredient, are too easily affected by climate, resulting in low or even no harvests. Even in the world where Yang Yuyao originally lived, agriculture was already quite developed. There will still be situations where vegetable production is reduced due to natural disasters and other reasons, resulting in a significant increase in the price of a certain type of vegetable or certain types of vegetables.

Therefore, Yang Yuyao was very curious about what kind of dried vegetables could satisfy the characteristics of being large in quantity, cheap and easy to store, and became the food Xia Kingdom was willing to provide to the corvee. In fact, he should ask Goodford for knowledge in this area, but Yang Yuyao saw that Goodford was very busy, so it was not easy to disturb him.

"It should be Kui." He Qianqing replied.

The word "Sunflower?" made Yang Yuyao think of sunflowers, okra, hollyhocks, and mallows, and then he thought of a vegetable mentioned in ancient poetry in that world. But whether the sunflower in this world and the sunflower in that world are the same kind, Yang Yuyao cannot be sure because he has never seen or tasted either.

"Well, this is a vegetable that can grow freely in the yard without much care," He Qianqing explained to Yang Yuyao with a smile, "It used to be widely eaten in the Xia Kingdom, but due to its cold nature, It is not suitable for women to eat large amounts for a long time. After the vegetables are dried, although the coldness will be weakened, the taste will not be so good. Therefore, they are gradually replaced by other vegetables with milder properties and better taste. In addition, this dish It is relatively cold-resistant, so it is almost impossible to plant it north of the summer capital, which also contributed to its decline."

"But it is trouble-free and grows quickly. It is easy to fill up the stomach and can replace certain grains. Therefore, it is extremely normal for it to be dried and appear here." He Qianqing added.

In areas with a warmer climate and abundant rainfall, there is actually little shortage of food. Even if the food harvest is poor, you can still find various wild vegetables and small animals to eat. Be cruel, bugs are also rich in protein. For the Xia Kingdom, most of the country is located in such a warm and relatively humid area, and it is a country built by monks. Therefore, no real famine has occurred for thousands of years.

Food that Yang Yuyao thought was shabby was something that corvees in other countries would never dare to think about. In more countries in the world, adult mortal men are forcibly drafted into labor. Not only do they receive no wages, they also need to provide their own dry food.

But Yang Yuyao felt that even so, there was no need to pursue this lower limit. Since he could easily provide better conditions, he should provide them in an encouraging way. If a person has never seen or tried anything better, then his imagination is lacking. He will be content with the status quo and not know how to make progress.

If you try it, like it, and find that it can be achieved with a certain amount of effort, then you will have a reason to fight for it. When more people are willing to struggle, this society will have the motivation to move forward and develop. Even if it's a small matter, if you know that if you work harder and do better, you can get more rest and better food, wouldn't you be willing to give it a try?

In addition, the form of corvee does not have to exist. When the social productivity is sufficient and the country becomes richer, corvee will be transformed into a form of employment. Xia's current national strength can employ some people, but there is no way to hire more people for the time being.

Today, Yang Yuyao looks back at the history of the world he knows and finds that to be able to develop, one must first meet the abundance of food. The abundance is so great that many people can leave planting and breeding and engage in other jobs, and society still has enough food for people to eat. No matter whether these foods are obtained by increasing production or plundering. It does not matter whether people voluntarily or were forced to leave the land that produced food.

Food is always the foundation of foundations. Many animals will adjust their breeding numbers based on whether there is abundant food, let alone humans? However, the plundered food will eventually attract hatred and revenge from other countries, and exchanging money for imports will also be restricted by others. Only increasing one's own food production is more secure.

Now Yang Yuyao no longer looks forward to returning to that world, even though he still misses that world's developed Internet, rich and colorful Internet world, full of interesting entertainment, no worries about food and drink, and a relatively peaceful society. But having died in that world meant that he was cut off from that world. Yang Yuyao knew that he should not trap himself in the past, so he decided to try to make the world develop in the direction he liked. Even if it changes, it's only a very small part.

But Yang Yuyao is trying to achieve it, and now, this is the beginning of a big step forward in his goal. He desperately hoped that everything would go well. The smiles on the faces of these craftsmen and laborers were like a good omen, which made Yang Yuyao feel relieved.

"Your Majesty, this..." County magistrate Lu Daoan and his men bowed to Yang Yuyao with some embarrassment. They also got the tortoise shell talisman made by Yang Yuyao and were a little at a loss. They were not even sure whether Li Fengzhi made a mistake. It was also sent to them.

"Take it, just think of it as my thanks in advance. After all, there are probably a lot of things that will trouble you in the future. In addition, these people you brought will also have to stay here for a few more days to help us understand the situation here. Situation." Yang Yuyao smiled, he emphasized everyone, and it was obvious that Li Fengzhi completely understood.

These local people brought by Lu Daoan are very important. They are the people who know the most about house construction, planting and hydrology in Yugui. Although they have not even read the book for various reasons, this does not affect their knowledge and experience in this field.

Having local people to guide them will save them a lot of trial and error trouble. After all, the geological conditions in each place are likely to vary greatly. And since they are going to stay here for a long time, they will inevitably change the land of Yugui. The Xia Kingdom is so big, and there are many contradictions in the customs of the north and the south. Building a good relationship with the locals in advance can reduce the occurrence of conflicts in the future. After all, we are all from the same country, so we should naturally get along well with each other.
