Even in ancient times, Li Yao wasn't bored, given that she had her own space.
While stockpiling supplies, she would eat at different restaurants every week, trying different menus each time. If she found something she liked, she would buy enough for several tables and store it away. If close friends or family asked, she would say it was a gift for her master.
Over time, everyone came to know that Princess Chang Le's master had a fondness for food, and sometimes, when a famous chef with excellent culinary skills developed a new dish, he would invite her to taste it.
Spring comes and autumn goes, and Li Yao has grown accustomed to the changing seasons and festivals: Qingming Festival for outings, Double Ninth Festival for climbing mountains, Mid-Autumn Festival for moon viewing, and Dragon Boat Festival for watching dragon boat races and hanging mugwort. It is during these days that Li Yao has come to appreciate the wisdom of the ancients.
The Double Ninth Festival is a time for climbing mountains to a high vantage point, where one can witness a magnificent panorama of mountains and rivers, a grandeur unlike anything seen at other times.
The reason for going on a spring outing during Qingming Festival is because on this day, one can see lush vegetation and blooming spring flowers.
Sometimes Li Yao would drive her RV to scenic spots, taking her lovers to shoot short videos and photos. After returning home, she would be severely "punished" by Yang Shengrui, who was extremely jealous, for three days until she was covered in red marks.
Meanwhile, Li Yao was also stockpiling tea, gold, jewelry, and jade.
The tea culture of Dagan dates back to the Tang Dynasty, encompassing tea soup and tea-related performances from the Song Dynasty. It also features roasted tea leaves. Moreover, at that time, there was no chemical pollution; all the tea was organic, grown using decaying leaves as fertilizer, resulting in exceptionally high-quality tea.
After being stir-fried, the aroma was rich, which Li Yao particularly liked. So she stocked up on a lot of various teas, including Taiping Houkui, Da Hong Pao, Oolong tea, black tea, green tea, Yunwu tea, Longjing, white tea, Pu'er, and so on, enough for her to drink for a hundred years.
Speaking of gold, Li Yao recalled the nickname of her little life: Treasure Island.
There were also pirates along the coast, but the advent of explosives and firearms gradually increased coastal defense capabilities, and eventually, the number of pirates decreased.
Li Yao wanted gold and silver for her small life. She considered whether to tell the emperor, but if the emperor sent troops, many soldiers would die in the war. If she went herself, she could hide and empty the coffers all at once. After thinking it over, Li Yao learned from the lessons of the Tang Dynasty.
She told the Emperor and officials about what Xiao Ri had done in the parallel world, warning them never to underestimate any small place and never to take any chances.
The Xiao Ri Zi people are a nation that can be obsequious and subservient. They can abandon their dignity and call anyone "dad," but as soon as they have profited from others and developed their own power, they can turn on anyone with swords. Their small territory and frequent earthquakes give them a strong sense of crisis, so they will bite anyone at any time.
Similarly, there was Goguryeo, which was also a despicable country, and the three northeastern provinces had fertile black soil.
Although Li Yao had mentioned these things before, he hadn't gone into detail. At that time, the people of Da Gan were starving, so talking about these things was just out of envy. But in the future, Da Gan would shift from defense to offense, and naturally, it would be able to seize fertile land and consolidate development in various places.
Li Yao gave the emperor hundreds of copies of mineral maps and detailed maps from the Tang Dynasty in the Dragon Kingdom, instructing him to search for them himself. Li Yao, on the other hand, went to Treasure Island alone.
In this era, Li Yao was not restricted by domestic or international boundaries, so she simply put on her invisibility cloak, opened the teleportation portal, went to the Bohai Bay, found her location, and then opened another teleportation portal to Treasure Island.
