[Chapters 1-25 have been checked for keywords: rice, gold coins, pure-blooded humans. Data changes include 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = copper coins, and the rice price before and after (if there are still some changes, please comment and I will make them). Data such as exchanging tavern mission points for 0-pollution food in Chapter 16 has also been changed (including changing the duration of the low-priced food sold by the fish trader in the early stages and the high-priced food in the auction house later). Chapters 26-50 will be checked tomorrow.]
[To those who pointed out typos and requested data changes, I will correct all the typos after I have checked the keywords and then reply to them.]
Thank you~

More than a hundred orc pangolin families eagerly joined Qin territory and happily became the lord's slaves.
"Sign, sign, why haven't we signed yet!"
"Have you read all the regulations for slaves? Have you filled out all the forms? Have you agreed to all the terms?"
"Of course! We can't wait to join!"
"......"
"A signature and seal are required; any reversal is invalid!"
"Once you receive the three-piece slave set, you'll be assigned to work by your squad leader!"
The unloading took a full day. The previously uncultivated land was temporarily fenced off to house the pigs, cattle, and sheep. Winter protection measures will be needed, as raising these animals is very laborious. In summer, cooling measures are required, and in winter, warmth is needed. They also need to be fed well. However, the animals selected for her were all strong and healthy, including breeding pigs. No piglets were taken because a large number might die in winter. The adults will be used to make dried meat products such as sausages and cured meat during the winter. The breeding pigs will be used for breeding after spring, so there will be no need to worry about meat next year.
Goat milk can be processed after removing the fishy smell. It can be served as a drink in taverns, as a food to strengthen children's physique, or used to make double-skin milk pudding, etc., as a specialty of the territory.
She had a feeling that the territory would be very lively during the three months of peace and quiet that followed next spring.
Six months of winter, three months of early spring, two months of sandstorms, and about a month of peaceful autumn.
However, the winter temperature has dropped this year, and Christmas Day has been extended to a month and a half.
The timing of the four seasons is roughly the same each year, but there are occasional changes. Winter is a time of dormancy for all things. Unless you break through the ice to catch fish, everything else is covered in snow. After spring arrives, wild vegetables, trees, and crops grow wildly, and a batch of fruits and vegetables can be harvested almost every few days. Crops like rice, which normally take three months to mature, will take a month and a half or even a month. Summer is an extremely dangerous two months with frequent sandstorms, strange creatures, and wild beasts. When Qin Yiyi arrived, it was already the last period of the sandstorms. Autumn's peaceful days... were supposed to be harvest days like spring, but she arrived too late and prepared too late, missing out on this bountiful harvest. Then came the long winter.
Qin Yiyi rode on the back of the big tiger, surveying her territory. The pig, sheep and cattle pens, which were separated and enclosed, were in front of her.
"This wasteland should also be included in the protective shield. Should we train some dogs to guard our territory's meat source?"
She's been eating too many vegetables. She needs to slaughter a pig right now and make some twice-cooked pork, braised pork belly, and braised pork with preserved mustard greens. Oh, and if it's something portable... then she needs to make some cilantro meatballs and freeze them. She can just throw a few meatballs into noodles or soups when she goes out.
She licked her lips; wonderful days were just ahead!
Sid stood next to the big tiger.
"Miss, I've already arranged for a special guard team of canine-like orcs. They have a keen sense of smell, so we don't need to buy dogs separately, saving us some money!"
[Canine-like half-orc: Yes, yes, you're so high and mighty!]
The territory's base is getting bigger and bigger, and the protective shield is gradually reaching its limit. If two protective shields are applied for, it will cost a huge amount of money. The cost of crystals is secondary. The main problem is that the huge mechanical arm that uses crystals as a base needs to be purchased, which will cost at least tens of thousands of gold coins. This is not something that an ordinary territory can afford!
Of course, the noble, beautiful and wealthy Lord Yiyi had no such worries. She decided to apply for the purchase of a robotic arm and a large-scale purchase of crystals before winter arrived. This could only be done through the Empire, and it was particularly easy to apply before winter and the day of the Yellow Sands. Some people were rushing to meet their targets, and the Empire would relax its restrictions during these times and not be so strict about controlling the territory.
Her territory already had a large area for the certificate, making it easier to pass. If the area for the certificate were small and expanded, then the empire would have to send someone to verify it.
"My lord! A group of people of unknown origin have arrived outside... they look like soldiers!"
What? Qin Yiyi's eyes sharpened.
"How many people are coming? Are they equipped? Order everyone to be on alert and retreat to the center of the territory!"
"It's a group...seriously wounded, lying outside the territory, about thirty or forty of them, covered in blood..."
"You're not dead, are you? It's so unlucky to die in front of our territory! Have someone kick you out!"
She waved her hand lazily, not caring at all. If it were a more important army, it would have been rescued long ago. Why were there still people in front of her territory?
"My lord, they seem to have brought some supplies... some equipment, and some machinery..."
"oh?"
Qin Yiyi said solemnly, "The Imperial soldiers fell while protecting the Empire and clearing the Misty City. We must protect them. Send a team of prisoners of war and slaves to watch over them, and also send people to carefully move the supplies in! Move them into the warehouse..."
"Um... Lord, what if they complain to the military or report our territory to the Emperor...?"
Qin Yiyi looked at the orc in front of her: "What do you mean by that? Do you think the lord would take their things? They are seriously injured and don't know how many days they will need to recover. People come and go in this territory. What if an outsider takes their things? We'll put everything in the warehouse and keep it safe for them!"
The orc felt ashamed and despised himself for thinking such things about his lord!
He is guilty!
He lowered his head, overwhelmed with shame, and ran away to inform the captain of the prisoner-of-war slaves to check the territory gate.
Qin Yiyi gave Sid a look.
Sid nodded: "Don't worry, once something's in our pockets, there's no reason for us to take it back."
"That's right, shouldn't saving people come at a price?"
