Yang Yuyao's smile made Lu Daoan and others feel dizzy. They had never seen such a dazzlingly beautiful person. Lu Daoan, who had met other people who were crowned kings in Xia Kingdom in the past, felt for the first time that someone could actually fit this title. Being watched by such a beauty, it seemed that all she needed was for him to act coquettishly and beg, even to die for her.

Lu Daoan and others, who had regained their composure, hurriedly thanked Yang Yuyao. It seemed to Yang Yuyao that a small gift was a huge gift to them. The treasure of talisman is a rare item that cannot be purchased even with a lot of money. What's more, this is a life-saving talisman that a mortal can use. In Yugui, even if you don't consider the invasion of other countries and monsters and ghosts, the frequent presence of poisonous insects and beasts is enough to bring fatal risks. Having this treasure, even if it has a limit on the number of times it can be used, is extremely precious.

As the sky gradually darkened, Yang Yuyao set up a pole and hung up a spiritual stone lamp for Goodford, who was still cooking food. Now that the camp has been basically set up, people are ready to rest when it gets dark. If you want to work at night, you need enough lighting. It's not that we can't provide such conditions, but people in this world are not used to working and resting like this. Therefore, Yang Yuyao did not require them to start work today.

However, not everyone was ready to rest. Zhang Fan and Qiao Long came over and told Yang Yuyao that they would go with the locals to see the situation nearby. Qiao Long needs to find a suitable piece of land nearby to transform into a test field, while Zhang Fan needs to look at the river flow and topography in this area, study and evaluate the risk of flooding here, and confirm whether artificial intervention is needed to prevent it before it happens.

"It's already getting dark at this time. Can we wait until tomorrow?" Yang Yuyao said.

"This level of darkness has no effect on me. The sooner I find a suitable place, the sooner I can reclaim it." Qiao Long explained why he was so anxious.

"Because the water level of some rivers has a large difference between day and night, it is easy for such rivers to go out of state during the flood season, so it is necessary to confirm one round at night." Zhang Fan also gave the reason why he decided to go at this time. In the past, Jade Chan Palace was located on a mountain, so even if there were floods, it would not be affected much. However, the place where Yang Yuyao wants to build a factory is located on the ground below the mountain, so more attention needs to be paid to preventing floods.

"That means you two are not even on the same path?" Yang Yuyao confirmed.

"It should be." Qiao Long nodded and confirmed.

"Well, then take this first." Yang Yuyao took out the Xunlian and communication bracelets that were made by the clone puppet and sent to him, and handed them to Qiao Long as a monk and Zhang Fan as a mortal respectively. . "These two are communication tools. Let's add friends first. You can use them to contact me if necessary."

"Add friends?" Qiao Long asked in surprise. Yang Yuyao, who was named King Shengmei, had a much higher status than them. They were superiors and subordinates. Did this person actually think they could become friends?

"It's just to leave each other's contact information on these magical artifacts, like jade slips for sound transmission." Yang Yuyao found out that he had been misunderstood, so he had to explain. He spoke smoothly and said what he was used to saying in his original world. But people in this world are usually very serious about friendship, so they won't talk about being friends so casually.

"I see, but this should be the Xunlian that His Majesty was so impressed by, right? It's really extraordinary." After trying it out, Qiao Long immediately praised it.

The moment Lingyi, the default avatar of the Xunlian guidance system, appeared, Qiao Long almost thought he had seen the legendary weapon spirit, but the magic weapons that can give birth to weapon spirits are all treasures among treasures, and require constant support from the owner. maintenance. Moreover, the spirit of the weapon recognizes its owner, so how could it be possible for him to just give it to him?

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift." Zhang Fan tried the communication bracelet and was shocked.

There are very few magic weapons and magic weapons that mortals can use. After all, when monks make magic weapons, they don't specifically consider whether mortals can use them. Generally speaking, mortals cannot use spiritual power. If a magic weapon is to be used, it is much more difficult to make it than to make it for a monk. In addition, making it for mortals is basically unaffordable. In this case, why bother doing this loss-making business?

"This is not a gift," Yang Yuyao corrected. "These are the supplies that my grandpa will provide for you later. Just follow me and I will give them to you in advance."

Yang Yuyao was telling the truth. Tao Zhengxi did tell him this before he set off, which meant that he gave these for accounting purposes and could reimburse Tao Zhengxi later. Of course, if Yang Yuyao could get enough Xunlian from the beginning, Tao Zhengxi would have directly asked for them before distributing them to the officials. Now even communication bracelets have been ordered, because there are still many mortal officials in Xia Kingdom.

Although Yang Yuyao told the truth, Zhang Fan and Qiao Long still thanked him respectfully. Even Qiao Long, who is a monk, does not know how the magic weapon is made. Their understanding is that the magic weapon is precious and rare. It is their blessing to be able to use it in advance.

After reminding Zhang Fan and Qiao Long to pay attention to their safety, Yang Yuyao watched them leave. He breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time released the hand that secretly grabbed He Qianqing's sleeve because of nervousness. He needed to communicate with so many new people he met. Yang Yuyao Yuyao's pressure doubled. He had to repeat in his mind countless times that he could not escape, but when He Qianqing came to his side, Yang Yuyao's hand involuntarily grabbed He Qianqing's sleeve.

"Xiao Yao, let's go back too." He Qianqing smiled and Yang Yuyao nodded silently. It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but that his throat seemed to be blocked by something and he couldn't speak.

Of course, He Qianqing knew that his precious disciple was in a situation caused by being too nervous. Instead of blaming Yang Yuyao for his seemingly impolite reaction, he even comforted him. In He Qianqing's view, it was remarkable that Yang Yuyao could do this. He neither expected nor expected that Yang Yuyao could completely overcome this fear. He was even somewhat despicably obsessed with Yang Yuyao's dependence on him brought about by his fear.

Of course, he would not express such thoughts to his mouth. Yang Yuyao worked so hard to overcome this problem, so naturally he would not attack him. He would just hide this thought in his heart and be secretly happy.

When Yang Yuyao walked towards his portable wooden house again, he found that the wooden house was surrounded by a fence, but it could be seen that the workmanship was much better than what Li Fengzhi and You Shuangjiang had built before. Yang Yuyao grabbed it and tried to shake it. It was very stable and strong enough to guard against some small beasts that were not good at jumping.

Yang Yuyao pushed open the door made of tree branches and walked into the small enclosed yard. He saw Shen Ming chopping firewood, and behind him, a pile of chopped firewood was piled up. Beside him, Huang Ya was simmering soup in a magical stove made by Yang Yuyao. Li Fengzhi lit another fire and roasted several rabbits. Duan Yaoran was next to Li Fengzhi from time to time to remind him that it was time for the rabbit to turn over.

"Master! Do you want a rabbit?" Li Fengzhi immediately greeted Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing when they saw them coming back.

"Okay." Yang Yuyao estimated the number of rabbits and made sure that Li Fengzhi could eat enough before agreeing.

"Young Master, wait a moment, the soup is almost ready. In addition, Master Muxian and Master Murong are in the backyard." Huang Ya also raised her head and said to Yang Yuyao.

"Okay, I understand. Did you make this fence?" Yang Yuyao asked.

"Yes, it was Teng Yu's idea." Huang Ya admitted, "He said it looked safer with a fence."

"What about Teng Yu and others?" Yang Yuyao asked. The task he assigned to Teng Yu was to read the reward system. Teng Yu had finished reading a long time ago, but now she didn't see him, which was a bit strange.

"He went to collect more firewood." Shen Ming replied.

Although cooking can be solved with the ritual stove made by Yang Yuyao, since there is only one ritual stove, it is inconvenient if you want to cook multiple dishes. Moreover, in the inertial thinking of Teng Yu, Huang Ya and Shen Ming, firewood is still an indispensable material that is stored in large quantities. If the firewood wasn't so big and heavy, they would even want to carry it from Xiadu.

While they were talking, Mu Yuan and Murong Siyu wandered back from behind the wooden house. Teng Yu and the others left a passage on the left and right sides of the fenced yard for people to carry some things through. , came to the back of the house. And it connects left and right, so you can walk around the house in the yard.

"Xiao Yao, your portable wooden house is really good. If I pay, can you help me renovate one?" Mu Yuan asked Yang Yuyao with a smile.

"Okay, but I think Senior Mu Yuan, you have to prepare a better house without a foundation. If you use the one over there to renovate it, I'm afraid it's not worth it." Yang Yuyao's eyes crossed the fence and landed not far away. There are several houses built of wood and thatch. That was the temporary residence of Mu Yuan and his wife, Duan Yaoran and their direct disciples.

"Haha, of course it won't be that." Mu Yuan laughed. He and Duan Yaoran were able to completely leave Qingfeng Sect a few days ago. Knowing that Yang Yuyao and He Qianqing would come here, they also came here with the disciples who had left Qingfeng Sect first. These houses were built by themselves in a short period of time, so naturally they look rough. But it's no problem to live there temporarily.

Although it is already autumn, it is still very hot here in Yugui, and the air leaking in the house makes it cooler. As for bugs, poisonous snakes, etc., there are many ways to deal with them. It’s not a problem either. Besides, they are all monks, so even if they don't do anything, all kinds of insects can't cause them any harm. But in terms of comfort, it is naturally not as good as the wooden house made by Yang Yuyao, a professional monk carpenter.

"We're back. It's too dark now. We can only wait until tomorrow to collect more firewood." Teng Yu returned to the yard carrying a bamboo basket mostly filled with firewood. Then Yang Yuyao saw Tu Shan jump off Teng Yu's shoulders and run to Yang Yuyao to claim credit.

"Master, I take good care of them." Tu Shan said proudly.

"Well done." Yang Yuyao praised, picked up Tushan and scratched the base of her ears. Tu Shan narrowed his eyes with joy when Yang Yuyao praised him for hugging and touching him, and his three tails were wagging about to take off. If it weren't for the red fur, people would have thought that what Yang Yuyao was hugging was actually a dog.

It was Yang Yuyao's order to let Tushan protect the people who left the house. As a fox demon who has been practicing for nearly a hundred years, even when she first met Yang Yuyao, she was better than Teng Yu and the others, and even better than Li Fengzhi now. Still strong. With her taking care of him, Yang Yuyao felt more at ease. As for the portable wooden house, Suzaku is willing to help provide reliable monitoring and protect the safety here.

"There is really no need to go there anymore. We don't need to prepare as much firewood here as in the summer capital." Yang Yuyao said to Teng Yu, "There are only about ten days of cold weather here in Yugui every year, so the plants here It keeps growing almost all winter, so you don’t have to worry about not getting firewood.”

Since he decided to come to Yugui, Yang Yuyao certainly made a lot of preparations to increase his understanding of the place. Regarding the climate, the most convenient and reliable way to understand is to ask Zhu Molan. As a former disciple of Jade Toad Palace, Zhu Molan stayed in Yugui for several years before she was forced to escape from Jade Toad Palace and was forced to leave this place.

Of course, Yang Yuyao did not make a conclusion about Yugui's climate just by getting the information from Zhu Molan. In his original world, due to the alternating changes of major and minor glacial periods and interglacial periods, even in the same place, there would be huge differences in environmental climate. Even the climate of a place may change in just a few decades due to the impact of human activities.

More than five hundred years have passed since Zhu Molan left Yugui. This time is actually not short. It is very possible that the climate will no longer be the same as when Zhu Molan was in Jade Toad Palace. Therefore, Yang Yuyao specially asked his clone to come to Yugui for a while and ask the locals about the current climate, and got the same answer as what Zhu Molan told him. Maybe the climate of Yugui has changed before, but after so many years, it seems to have changed back again.

But even if the winter here has become colder since the year they came to Yugui, Yang Yuyao is not worried. Autumn has just begun now, and by winter, formal housing may have been built. Even if it is not completed due to the progress of the project, his portable wooden house can adjust the room temperature to keep it warm in winter and cool in summer.

"Okay, young master." Teng Yu has never left Xiadu since he was born. Even though his grandfather committed a crime and was demoted to a slave, he was brought to the human market of Xiadu, and was bought back by the Yang family not long after. Therefore, his life experience is based on Xiadu.

The winter in the summer capital is relatively cold, and it can snow. Sometimes it even snows heavily. In addition, Xiadu is very large and there are many people living here. If you want to get firewood, you can only get it in the mountains and forests farther out in the suburbs. But most people are unlikely to collect firewood. Basically you can only rely on buying.

The Xia Kingdom, like other countries, is not allowed to cut down trees in the mountains at will, so woodcutter who can go up the mountain to collect firewood also need to obtain permission. There is no need to pay money for this permission, but they must abide by the rules. If someone is found to be illegally cutting down trees, they will be banned from going up the mountain for life and will be served with sticks. And this also makes it possible for not everyone to be a woodcutter who can obtain enough firewood to sell.

The vast majority of people in Xiadu cannot and do not want to collect firewood. They can only rely on these woodcutters to transport firewood from the mountains and sell it. Therefore, the firewood is sold very quickly every time, and sometimes it is impossible to buy it after arriving a little later. Therefore, people in Xiadu habitually stock up on firewood and buy a lot of firewood at once whenever they see one on sale. As for the more expensive charcoal that needs to be processed, it has to be shipped from elsewhere. If we don't stock up on these fire-making materials, when it snows in winter and the woodcutters have a rest, they won't be able to buy them.

But people here in Yugui don't have this habit, and they don't need to store so much wood. The warm climate allows plants to grow wildly and much faster than elsewhere. Sometimes a small seedling that sprouts in front of the door will grow into a tree taller than a person in two or three months. By clearing away these small trees that may damage houses and roads, you can already get a lot of firewood.

"Everyone has been busy all day, let's have dinner first." Yang Yuyao said. Shen Ming immediately ran to pick up an oilcloth that could keep out the rain.

"Wait a minute, let me cover the firewood first. I just heard from the locals that it rains at night this season, and it will be bad if the firewood gets wet!"
