Before the arrival of the Yellow Sands, Qinling had already dealt with all the monsters in the Misty City. The Misty City had expanded into Qinling, but because it was an expansion of territory and the security was not yet in place, it was blocked with iron plates.
There was already a newborn in the territory, a swift's child. Looking at the tin can, it babbled and couldn't utter a complete sentence. However, the parents were dressed in brand-new clothes, their faces rosy, and they held their child, pointing to the city surrounded by tin cans in front of them, saying, "This will soon be our new city!"
It will also be a new beginning.
The Qin Territory is now larger than Chaos City. It has its own territorial rules, and any outsider entering for the first time will be given a copy of the Qin Territory Code. The most common and frequently violated rules are printed out and posted outside to inform every temporary visitor, resident, and even some who come from afar hoping to become citizens of the territory. However, they did not expect that the original citizens of the territory were a group of slaves. Now, these slaves have been freed from their slave status, and the welfare benefits enjoyed by the residents have been redefined.
The term "Qin territory" is becoming increasingly known throughout the Federation.
With the arrival of the yellow sand days, the panic on people's faces has long since disappeared. Work and life within the territory are not affected in the slightest. The vast territory has become the safest and most comfortable haven.
The territory was surrounded by a moat formed by diverting lake water. Qin Yiyi sat on the back of the white tiger, overlooking her territory. In front of her was a vast expanse of yellow sand, and behind her was azure lake water, the mouth of the sea. She had long ago widened this mouth and built ferries and docks there. When they sailed across the sea, the sea creatures would protect them. Everything was a brand new beginning. However, looking at this scenery, Qin Yiyi felt strange. This place was close to the desert, so why was there a lake and the sea behind it? And why could she dig a well in her territory to divert lake water? She felt strange for a moment but couldn't explain why. She just felt that she had seen this scene somewhere before.
In Qinling, the food street lit up at night, and countless orcs, half-orcs, elves, naga, as well as newly moved-in goblins, pangolins, and other creatures began to appear inside the food street.
"The lord said that it can only be open all day on peaceful days, and only at night during special periods. What a pity!"
"It is indeed a bit of a pity, but fortunately I have managed to snag a house in Qinling and have settled down here!"
The group looked at the viscount of the sea tribe with some disdain: "I really don't know what Xiaoyue saw in you. A viscount of the sea tribe who can't lift a finger or do anything, and doesn't even have a job. Is Xiaoyue going to support you in the future?!"
The Sea Clan Viscount has been said this many times before, and he used to blush a little, but now he's developed a thick skin.
“My viscount title gives me a monthly stipend, and besides, I’ve recently been learning new business from Qi Feng and his team. I’ve decided to invest some money in Qi Feng’s business!” Qi Feng’s business is new technology in the post-wasteland era, and the flying bird train in Sky City is based on this technology.
Even if the Sea Clan Viscount doesn't work, he comes from a wealthy family and has enough money to live happily for eight lifetimes, as long as he doesn't fail in his investments or businesses.
In addition, Xiaoyue has become Qin Yiyi's personal guard and has a very good relationship with Qin Yiyi. The chief of the sea tribe is now Qin Yiyi's sister-in-law, and the relationship between the sea tribe and Qin Yiyi is extraordinary.
Xiaoyue was a very desirable daughter-in-law in the Sea Clan elders' family. Although they initially considered her background, after Xiaoyue demonstrated her extraordinary talent and martial prowess, the Sea Clan viscount was forgotten by the family.
Although he is also a talented child in the family, he is not on the same level as Xiaoyue's composure.
On the other hand, after the new emperor ascended the throne, the era of the two queens began. In order to show the queens' benevolence and win their support, they granted amnesty to everyone in the burial ground. These people who had never seen the light of day had been oppressed by the old regime. Now that the new era had begun, many people had chosen to join the queens. Of course, there was also a group of people who came to Qin territory.
This is a place that everyone longs for.
On the peaceful day before winter, the Flying Bird Train finally opened. This was a project that combined the efforts of the four cities, with Qin Yiyi adding an unlimited number of temporary workers to shorten the construction period. The train was completed before winter, and as soon as it opened, merchants from the four cities flocked to it. Qin Yiyi sent people from her territory to meet with the few traders who had chosen to stay in Qin territory to explore and innovate. These former traders now had a day of great prestige and status. Everyone was filled with awe and respect for Qin Yiyi, the lord who was only twenty years old.
Of course, one could often hear the lord throwing tantrums in the territory. The labor laws of the territory needed to be revised to be more people-oriented, the medical system of the territory needed to be strengthened, especially for the soldiers, and the academies of the territory needed to be built more comprehensively, as the growth of the next generation was especially important. No one dared to disobey the lord. Some bowed down to the lord's charm, some bowed down to the lord's character, and many more bowed down to the lord's military force.
Only by wielding cannons can one gain the true right to speak, and only then can one's words become powerful and command obedience.
As deep winter approaches, it's time to stock up again. However, the people of the territory are no longer as anxious as before that people will die in the winter. Instead, they are calculating the six months of deep winter, during which they will only work half a day for one or two months when it is coldest, and then they can stay at home and rest. Some families that have become well-off are even thinking about not going to work for those one or two months. After all, working is voluntary. If you don't go, you don't get paid; if you go, you get paid. This is the rule of the territory, and they will not be dismissed arbitrarily.
This confidence comes from having money and resources. In the past, without a job, people would have been anxious all the time!
The peace and quiet before the depths of winter is a bit longer, and considering that winter lasts for six months, the Flying Bird Train will also be running now, but for a short period of time. It will run for the first two months, then for the last month, with a three-month break in between, so stocking up is still a must for every household.
The cold air has returned somewhat now, but the temperature is still around minus sixty degrees Celsius at its coldest.
The food sold on the food street has gradually changed to be easy to store and have a long shelf life. Long strips of cured meat and sausages, which haven't been seen for many years, have been made. Some luxurious families have even bought cured pork ribs. Of course, you can make them yourself, but firstly, they don't taste the same, and secondly, these are truly zero-pollution foods. If you can't make them yourself, you're wasting food.
Qin Yiyi slept in her lord's manor, and could see a sky full of stars through the transparent glass when she looked up. Where exactly was she? Where had she seen all of this before? In a game? But it also seemed to be her own personal experience.
