The next morning, Lin Yue took her family out of the space.
As expected, more men mean better workers. A house has been built outside for them to live in.
Lin Yue took Xiao Jingyun to check around. They spent the whole day looking for a coal mine. After finding one, they asked Fushengmu to dig holes and go in to explore.
If one doesn’t work, try two. If two don’t work, try three.
If there is no fish in the shallow area, try fishing in the deeper area. In short, you will get a lot of fish at the end of the day.
When it got dark, she asked Fushengmu to prepare a lot of vines for them and use them to enclose the area they had marked out.
In order to make the fleeing people think that they were going to farm there, they even spent some money to feed them and ask them to help with the work.
The food Lin Yue gave was corn tortillas, which was considered coarse grain in their space, but those who fled were still very happy and looked for familiar people nearby to help.
In just three days, no less than seventy or eighty people came to work.
Many of them brought their families with them. The youngest child was a few months old, and the oldest was in their teens. They were pale and thin, dressed in rags, and when they looked at people, they were curious but also a little timid.
Lin Yue thought that coal mining would also require manpower, so she discussed with her family and tried to retain some people for future use.
Xiao Jingxian found a few foremen, recorded some of their information, and invited them to live nearby so that he could hire them for work in the future.
After hearing this, those people wrote down their family situation in great detail without any precautions, for fear that the Xiao family would think that they came from unknown places.
Based on the descriptions of those people, Xiao Jingxian gradually learned the basic situation of these three countries.
The State of Chen was the strongest, with many sorcerers and over a million soldiers stationed there.
Wu is the richest country, close to the sea, and engaged in business and trade. There are many monks recruiting disciples there, so it should not be underestimated.
Zhao is the weakest, but it has many mountains, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. There may also be hidden masters there, so they should not be provoked easily.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the Black Water City was turned a blind eye. Even if someone died, no government would care as long as it was not a case of indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
But there is an organization in the city called "Black Gold", which is said to have bases in the three countries. Therefore, anything auctioned from them can be guaranteed.
Some people also say that they are robbing you of your money, selling you something and then taking it back the next day. However, this is just a rumor and the details are unknown.
Many people from the Three Kingdoms who yearned to cultivate immortality came here in an endless stream, simply because they were the only organization in Blackwater City that could exchange spirit stones.
Spirit stones are the universal currency for black gold transactions.
In Blackwater City, a low-grade spirit stone is worth five hundred gold. A mid-grade spirit stone is worth one thousand gold. A high-grade spirit stone costs two thousand gold.
To buy the simplest second-level monster, one needs at least two thousand low-grade spirit stones, and that's when no one is trying to buy it. Otherwise, one might not be able to buy it even with three thousand low-grade spirit stones.
After Xiao Jingxian had a clear understanding of the surrounding situation, he said, "If we can't be an emperor, we should at least be a local tycoon. In short, we need to erect a barrier and try not to let outsiders think that we are weak and powerless."
Xiao Huailuo said, "Don't worry, Dad. My third brother and I have already gone down the mountain to investigate. There are still many civilians on this road. Apart from those who go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and herbs, there are no other people. Even if he encountered a dog, he would have tested it. It's a local dog and its intelligence is not very high."
Xiao Huaice also said: "Second uncle and second aunt said that they would dig first after the coal mine was opened, and then put it away after digging it out."
“When there are enough, we will sell more.”
"First, it makes people outside think that we are digging for treasure, but we haven't found it yet."
"Secondly, when we sell it, others will want to follow suit, and we can use the name of our alchemy skills as a reputation."
"Oh, and my second uncle's alchemy furnace is already built. I'll start cooking pig food tonight."
"My grandmother's vegetable garden has been tilled, and the chicken coop, sheep pen, pig pen... and mushroom house are all built. We can see that this is a wealthy family, so no one will suspect that it is related to cultivation for the time being."
Hearing this, Xiao Jingxian said with relief: "Very good."
"There are old and young, chickens and pigs, as well as young wives and young men..."
"Hehe, who would have thought this was related to cultivation?"
"I'm really talented. I actually persuaded your second aunt to bring our whole family here. Look, isn't this going to come in handy?"
"It's like a large-scale disguise scene for a cultivation family."
Xiao Huaice: "..."
Xiao Huailuo: "..."
A large family with many people will have great influence in the wilderness.
If you have great power, houses and food, you are a rich man.
In less than half a month, there were two fenced-off hills, and Lin Yue was very satisfied.
One more, three.
But she gave the third one to Yan Shu and Fang Caijing.
They are ghost cultivators, and ordinary people are no match for Yan Shu.
If they were monks, they would not compete with them for that piece of land, so they would be safe for the time being.
Lin Yue wanted to go down the mountain to take a look, but she came from the prosperous capital and was not very interested in places like Blackwater City.
Ding Sihui and Xiao Qingyi went there several times, but the food they brought back each time was not as delicious as what was in the space, so they gradually stopped going.
Now that they have a large family and a great business, all that is left is to practice and improve their cultivation.
Seeing that the spiritual stones in the space were about to turn into waste stones, Lin Yue suddenly thought of the precious clothes on her body.
Unfortunately, she couldn't take it off, so she could only lead everyone in practicing in the space every day so that everyone could absorb spiritual energy.
In order to help everyone practice, she exchanges a bottle of nutrient solution for everyone every day.
Currently, only Xiao Jingyun is in the advanced stage. Lin Yue discovered that there is a foundation-building pill, but Xiao Jingyun said that he doesn’t need it yet.
